Eli Heil[edit]

"In 1963, she held her first solo exhibition in Florianópolis." By removing the comma after exhibition you raise the possibility that she had had many other solo exhibitions, but the one in 1963 was her first in Florianopolis. By adding the comma, it makes it clear that it was her first ever solo exhibition and that it was held in Florianopolis.Roundtheworld (talk) 10:48, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Johann Simon Hermstedt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page German. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

March 2023[edit]

Hello! I'm MichaelMaggs. Your recent edit(s) to the page Pieter Both (mountain) appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The text was already grammatical, but was not so after that edit. MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:41, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Johan Sebastian Welhaven. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. The text is grammatically correct as written. It does not need "as". MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Andrew Higgins (rugby union). Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. You have converted a grammatical sentence into an ungrammatical one. If you do not understand parenthetical commas, please do not attempt such edits. MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to disrrupt pages by introducing incorrect information, as you did at Britt Baron, you may be blocked from editing. "Brittany Noelle Uomoleale" is a name not a place. It makes no sense to say she was born IN Brittany Noelle Uomoleale. MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:23, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And in this edit to an article about a magazine, you changed "At its height, it claimed a circulation of 150,000" (correct) to "Its height is claimed a circulation of 150,000" (ungrammatical). MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Compton College. In your attempt to correct an already-correct sentence you have completely changed the meaning as well as messing up the grammar. MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your grammatical edits[edit]

I would very strongly suggest that you concentrate on adding cited content to the encyclopedia, rather than attempting to fix grammar. You seem to be using a very formulaic and rigid approach to comma placement, which is often wrong and in any event is not good practice and will really not be welcomed here. In far too many cases – only a few of which I've mentioned above – you have converted a perfectly correct sentence into something objectively wrong. Many of your other edits simply add commas in a place where its absence is entirely a matter of the writer's personal preference and not an error of grammar. You should not be changing text solely because the writer may have a slightly different stylistic approach to punctuation. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you hope to be allowed to continue editing, please immediately cease all edits relating to grammar. I fear your own knowledge of idiomatic English really is not good enough. Sorry. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you have taken no notice whatsoever of the advice and multiple warnings, I have reported you to WP:ANI. MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:05, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Disruptively ignoring community concerns[edit]

Hi DepthDwellingX,

you seem to be disruptively ignoring community concerns. Please take a moment to respond to the concerns voiced above, and/or at the noticeboard thread, before continuing to edit.

If you continue editing in the same way without addressing the concerns, you will be blocked from editing without further warning, to prevent further disruption.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

Request reason:

Dear Wikipedia administrators, I am writing to appeal my block on Wikipedia. I understand that my behavior on the site violated Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I sincerely apologize for any disruption or harm caused to the community. I now understand the importance of respecting the Wikipedia rules and reading my own Talk page. I have taken steps to educate myself on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I am committed to following them in the future.

I assure you that I will conduct myself in a manner that upholds Wikipedia's standards and values. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 12:27, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I realize that my actions violated the principles of this valuable platform, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or harm I may have caused. Having reflected on my past behavior, I would like to assure you that I will not engage in any activity that may lead to damage or disruption on Wikipedia. I am committed to the following:

Abiding by all Wikipedia guidelines, policies, and community standards.
Ensuring that my edits and contributions are accurate, well-sourced, and in line with the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia.
Communicating respectfully and constructively with fellow editors and administrators, seeking assistance and clarification when needed.
Being receptive to feedback and promptly addressing any concerns raised by other editors or administrators.

I understand that my past behavior was not conducive to the overall mission of Wikipedia, and I am committed to making a positive change. I truly believe that I can be a valuable contributor to the Wikipedia community and work towards building a comprehensive and reliable repository of knowledge for everyone. I kindly request that you consider my unblock request and grant me an opportunity to demonstrate my newfound understanding and dedication to the Wikipedia community. I assure you that I will adhere to the commitments I have made in this message and strive to contribute positively to the platform. Thank you for taking the time to review my unblock request.

You speak very generally in this request. Could you speak to the specific concerns told to you on this page? 331dot (talk) 09:56, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is so totally generic as to make me wonder if it could be AI generated. If not, what is the explanation for the excellent understanding of idiomatic English, as it appears here, and the extremely poor grammar of your previous edits? Were you knowingly making poor grammatical edits? MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GPTZero indicates it's completely AI generated. I'm starting to be inclined to auto-reject all such unblock requests. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:37, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
