Hi, I just wanted to suggest that you be a bit more verbose on your edit summaries for pending changes when you don't accept the change. The edits caught in pending changes are by newer editors who won't be familiar with common Wikipedia shorthand. For example, on this set of pending changes, you reverted it with the summary el. The new editors aren't going to know or understand that the edit wasn't approved because it contained external links in the body. Either more words in the edit summary or a link to the Wikipedia page that explains it would be more educational for these new editors. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Btw, I do see that you left explanatory messages on two of the editor's talk pages explaining, which is great, thank you! Schazjmd (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Kalashnikov Concern

Sorry about editing the Kalashnikov Concern page. I was trying to prove to my teacher that Wikipedia IS a reliable source and has good moderation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.174.188.202 (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

The content in our articles is based on WP:RS and must be neutral and verifiable. We don't accept Wikipedia articles as sources. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about our policies like WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:RS to the best of my ability but discussion about content would be better on the article talk page.
