Hello, I'm OnlyNano. I noticed that in this edit to Oaklands Catholic School, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. OnlyNano 17:20, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Alright, my apologies. I'm new, I'll be more mindful and thank you! Abc747 (talk) 17:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Karmein Chan

Hi. Thanks for your edits and I hope you choose to stay on Wiki.

Regarding the additions to the external links section of the Karmein Chan article, blogs are considered unreliable sources. Most podcasts are self-published. All the best, and again I'll say I hope you stay on here. Any help or advice feel free to ask. Best regards, Key. Kieronoldham (talk) 00:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Nah, sorry, mate! I'll just leave you to it because you seem to be more of an expert in these things than I am. Keep up the good work and have a nice Summer! Many thanks ;) Abc747 (talk) 08:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Joseph Stalin into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 19:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, sorry, I didn't realise, and I'll avoid doing that in the future! Abc747 (talk) 19:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from CIA Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

Okay, sorry, I've just been a bit of a bad place lately! Abc747 (talk) 22:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Messing with paragraphs

I would respectfully ask that you please stop combining/splitting paragraphs. Your mixing things together out of context in some cases, and in others splitting things out of context. I don't mean to be mean but it's like there is competency issue with reading comprehension. Is there some other way you can contribute to Wikipedia that does not involve this kind of work? I don't enjoy reverting you or making these comments on your talk page but I need maintain the integrity of the articles. -- GreenC 15:03, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, if it really is such a serious issue then I will stop. I just didn't think that moving a few sentences would warrant such criticism. I understand that your job is to maintain the integrity of articles, but I don't appreciate my contributions being reverted and also being accused of having some kind of mental handicap. I've been making a number of edits to reach 500 (extended confirmed)! Now, I am not going to make a massive palaver over it but if this is the way that you're going to talk to me then you can rest assured that I am going to stop editing on your pages. Have a nice Summer! Abc747 (talk) 15:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm using these words, because they are the words we use. See WP:COMPETENCY. Now, some of your changes are OK but a lot of it is like moving chairs around, and more than a few sentences. If you are only trying to get 500 edits, maybe you can do something less disruptive than making all these significant changes to article structure? And BTW reading comprehension is not a mental handicap, it is a learned skill along a spectrum of ability based on experience.

You are a new editor. It's common for new editors to do big things then run into trouble with other editors. This is a collaborative environment. I hope you can continue to find constructive ways to contribute. -- GreenC 15:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I accept defeat. Truce! I acknowledge that I haven't been putting a great deal of thought into my edits because my main goal was simply doing a lot of little edits so I could exceed 500. Unsurprisingly, in hindsight that probably means that they might not have made much logical sense. I'll avoid taking any reverts personally in the future and I'll try my best to be more constructive and besides I've already achieved my goal, so I don't really need to do anything more. I respect what you are trying to achieve, and I do apologise sincerely for being a nuisance and for misinterpreting the points that you are trying to make! I'll let you focus on your pages. Take care and kind regards! :) Abc747 (talk) 15:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

about re-reverting @GreenC: Special:Diff/1233925977 on Special:Diff/1233954505, I don't think two different topics should be merged together (post-1992 events & music sheet). Also I've been making a number of edits to reach 500 (extended confirmed)! seemed like inappropriate - there is a policy about this if I'm not wrong. --- Cat12zu3 (talk) 20:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I thought that they were going to revert only a few of my pages! I'm sorry but I didn't know that there was a policy! Abc747 (talk) 21:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I don't really like to point to this article, because it's not in my character eg Special:Diff/1232267539, but here it is this link WP:PGAME --- Cat12zu3 (talk) 21:11, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Abbreviation - Can you please return back before Special:Diff/1233963538 (bpm) edit? There is no multiple (beats per minutes). If there are many multiple uses of same term, I would put it as <<beats per minutes (bpm)>> and thereafter uses <<bpm>>. Thanks. --- Cat12zu3 (talk) 21:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I'm sorry! I'm going to be honest and just say that I've been going through a stressful few days lately and I guess that I've been making so many edits just so that I could feel in control. Thanks for the link because I honestly didn't know about it, and I really haven't been aiming to be disruptive. It is what it is and I'm really sorry! Abc747 (talk) 21:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
