A word of advice

Or a few, maybe. First, make smaller edits. What you did on Juan Pablo Duarte, that one huge edit--please don't. It's impossible to go over that, and since it was tagged as having questionable sourcing you shouldn't be surprised if it gets reverted. Second, be more economical. These articles are already really long, probably too long, and they're really just too detailed--no wonder they get tagged with "This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably". Also, I protected all those articles so you may have to make edits elsewhere before you can get in. Finally, you announced your account on that talk page and there's no way I can go and remove all those IPs from the history, so you're now "tied" to it. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 16:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies That's fine, I've decided that I'll be stearing away from articles for a long while and will be focusing on doing smaller edits and work my way up as a more seasoned and advanced editor like yourself and others. Sorry for all trouble and thanks for the advice. Blessings to you. BlkGeneral2000 (talk) 18:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, don't stay away--just make edits in a way that others can follow it. I'm seasoned, and I'll take that as a compliment, but not in this subject matter; we need you to do that. Make smaller edits, like a paragraph or two, and explain what's happening. And let me know if the socks return--I'm sorry I can't do more about it than I already have. I can't sit down and talk reasonably with them. Drmies (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
