Bad grammar and spelling error edits
[edit]Please do not make bad grammar and spelling error edits as you did here and with your other edits. There was nothing wrong with the grammar ot the spelling, and your edits make unacceptable changes to the content. Please edit the Wikipedia of your own language. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 09:54, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, there is an issue with the article not being concise as per the standards of the website. I think we can work together to tighten up the writing in this article. Additionally, " There was nothing wrong with the grammar ot the spelling, and your edits make unacceptable changes to the content." should be an or instead of an "ot."

[edit] Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Quantum computing—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 09:57, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Note: again, this was a very bad edit. "with memory that never deviates" is correct, whereas "with a memory that never deviates..." is not. Please stop making these corrections. - DVdm (talk) 10:00, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Could you please clarify how this is a "very bad edit" please? Gaugerigour (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- "bits which can represent" was correct
- "with 100% probability" was correct
- "with memory that never deviates" was correct, where "with a memory that never deviates" is not

Note: regarding some of your other edits, see wp:ENGVAR and wp:RETAIN. For instance with this and this edit. - DVdm (talk) 10:05, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- The edits reduced the ambiguity of the statements in question. Gaugerigour (talk) 10:13, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- "councillor" was correct.
- "flavour" was correct

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Quantum information, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you.
Note re this edit: "analogue" was correct—see wp:RETAIN. Also, "describe the limits on manipulation" was correct. Please stop making edits adding articles to clauses where none are required. Please do not make grammatical corrections where there are no errors to begin with. - DVdm (talk) 12:08, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
LIkewise, in this edit: "to be rightful ruler of the Rai Dynasty" was correct. - DVdm (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to David O'Keefe (historian). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Note: regarding [1] and [2]: you were warned before about wp:ENGVAR and wp:RETAIN. Stop this please. - DVdm (talk) 12:19, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- You are stretching the definition of vandalism to fit your needs. Gaugerigour (talk) 12:31, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Please indent your talk page messages as outlined in wp:THREAD and wp:INDENT — See Help:Using talk pages. Thanks.
- Repeatedly ignoring warnings about wp:ENGVAR and wp:RETAIN amounts to vandalism, and will ultimately get you blocked for disruptive editing. - DVdm (talk) 12:59, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Response to the above
[edit]I was unaware of some of those words' existence since I am most familiar with English from the United States. I am currently familiarizing myself with English from the United Kingdom as we converse here. Thanks for the heads up. Also in reference to the Quantum Information article, the structure of that sentence needs to be changed to increase its clarity. Gaugerigour (talk) 12:31, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
