Copy editing

Hi - I don't know whether English is your first language, but if you are going to do copy editing of existing articles, please be more careful. In this edit you made three changes. One of them removed a redlink, which isn't such a bad thing, but isn't necessarily an improvement; the other two introduced errors, where the original text was fine. Please be careful. thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 16:22, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@Girth Summit: Ok, Noted

Hi - can you explain why you reinstated this edit? It doesn't seem to be supported by the source. Thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 16:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@Girth Summit: it looked appropriate for me. Markerhelp (talk) 16:41, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean you checked the source, and it supported the content, or that you thought it was probably true and so reinstated it without checking the source? GirthSummit _(blether) 16:43, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@Girth Summit: I didn't checked the source, the statement looked good so i have reinstated. I will keep this in note, checking source before reinstating. Markerhelp (talk) 16:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Markerhelp, yes please. Don't add any content without checking the source, whether you're reverting a removal or adding original content. This is especially important in BLP articles, and most extra-specially important with potentially controversial information in BLP articles - that needs to be very reliable sourced. Thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 16:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
