Stop

Stop introducing improper grammar. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism by introducing improper grammar in myriad articles

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:26, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How are the grammar changes incorrect? All the changes made have been to improve clarity and flow of sentences. 2601:642:4001:4640:8000:188B:8A6F:874B (talk) 03:27, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You reversed the proper order of "not" and "to". (Also "never" and "to".) Sometimes that even changes the meaning. What is your mother tongue? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:31, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are many variations. Obviously not American English. Maybe British, Indian, South African, Australian, etc.? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was born in the US and only speak English 2601:642:4001:4640:8000:188B:8A6F:874B (talk) 03:38, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I haven't noticed any of your changes where your change of the status quo version improved the grammar. On the contrary. Please stop. Just accept the status quo version that most other editors find proper. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:45, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All the changes make the articles easier to read, in my opinion. 2601:642:4001:4640:8000:188B:8A6F:874B (talk) 03:52, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Keep in mind that myriad other editors have written that content and no one else sees anything wrong with it. Why should you impose your idea of what seems proper? Now that you have encountered resistance to your editing, you must not continue to make such changes until you have a consensus on each article before making such changes. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He's been told to knock it off, and messing up the grammar like this is probably subtle vandalism. Keep giving him UWs and if he keeps it up AIV him. He clearly knows how to use the site already, without much issue, and made a flurry of edits in short succession. All I'm going to say is WP:QUACK DarmaniLink (talk) 07:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is it messing up the grammar? In all edits I tried to make the sentences easier to read. 2601:642:4001:4640:8000:188B:8A6F:874B (talk) 07:29, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That “messing up the grammar” line is false. Primal Groudon (talk) 19:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop or I'll seek to have your access blocked. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:48, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reported this situation so we get more eyes on this situation. Maybe I'm wrong. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 04:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
