Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Talk:Convolution, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.

Additionally, you're going back days, and sometimes weeks later to edit your own comments; this violates the guidelines at WP:Talk page guidelines § Editing own comments. It's also disruptive insofar as this page keeps showing up as recently edited on watchlists, even though there's nothing significantly new going on.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to constantly go back and tweak old comments, whether it's to try to provoke a response (which no one appears interested in making), or for some other reason. But either way, again, this can be considered disruptive editing, so please cease this activity. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

The reason for tweaking old responses is due to reviewing and making sure that the information is absolutely clear, and hopefully error-free. Sometimes, it is wording, and wording not being clear enough, which makes details hard for readers to understand. So tweaks where necessary can help to cut down on head-scratching. You also need to remember that not every wiki user (or many of them) can see what you see in terms of 'watch lists'. All we (regular users) know is edit and submit. Your comment about possibilities of provoking a response is really over the top - because as you already know - the comments area is a sea of words - so no regular user would even know that I had edited/corrected my own comments. As mentioned - and as you can see already - the details I add are to help others understand the topic - if they do one day get to encounter my particular comments. Also, my comments that I edit are usually the tail-end of a particular thread - so it doesn't change anything in terms of the progression or evolution of other people's comments. You probably know that editing comments mainly create issues if the edited comment affects succeeding comments that other people might add. My recommendation to you is to read those edits or contributions that I've made - and read them properly to understand that it's for a good cause - and quit the habit of making pre-mature negative scenarios about contributors.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Convolution, you may be blocked from editing. I've already explained (multiple times) how going back and constantly editing old talk page comments is disruptive. Please stop, or I'll request a topic ban on related topics. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 04:23, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Deacon Vorbis - I recommend you stop fabricating false accusations about my contributions. No disruptions were caused, and the edits were only to ensure clarity and remove errors that I had overlooked. I told you before that the edits are done so that people in future (that 'may' read the talk threads) don't get confused over errors and passages that could be conveyed more clearly. KorgBoy (talk) 04:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Please indent your replies; see Help:Talk for how to use talk pages. Yes, it's disruptive, for the reasons I've already explained. Any lack of clarity or errors don't matter, because these comments were months old, and the discussion was over. You also still seem to refuse to use the "Preview" button as explained immediately above; this also gets disruptive. Again, if this continues, I'll seek a topic ban. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 04:36, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I will definitely remember to make use of preview features. You conveniently forget that other people/users in future (possibly - but not necessarily) might read some of the content of the talk page. So even if months or years old, making some amendents for purposes of clarity and removing ambiguity can still be beneficial. While I obviously do re-edits on talk pages, I already mentioned it's not intended to create disruptions. Actually, I didn't even understand what you meant about being disruptive. Is it like - us users don't see a watch list, but you see some kind of watch/edit list, and your job is to approve edits? And if there are lots of edits, then it just makes you need to do lots of work of some sort? You see - us regular users don't see what you see. I mentioned this before to you. We haven't got those features, so we are not even aware of it. In any case, TransporterMan really conveyed points in a diplomatic and highly respectable way. I'm following his recommendations, and know more about what to do, and what not to do now. One more thing - I took a look at that link a moment ago about disruptive editing. It appears to be focused on Article pages, rather than Talk pages. KorgBoy (talk) 02:15, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
