February 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 23:52, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please indicate specific concerns about style. I have read the information on the Manual of Style and am familiar with the guidelines. Please do not revert the entire page, after many hours of work with supporting citations using reputable sources on the subject. I am happy to look at and address (if needed) any specific concerns, but when only a general comment is made and the entire page is reverted to its original (which had no supporting citations), it is not helpful or welcoming to a new user.

JohnstonWJ, Sorry! I have explained my concerns on User talk:Fiorenza88's talk page. It's a little late to move it to the article talk now. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 16:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. I did look at Fiorenza88's talk page. If you had an issue with style, please point out where precisely those concerns are, or if those concerns are with one editor or one section. Reverting the entire page seems extreme and not in the spirit of Wikipedia, which should be more helpful and collaborative.JohnstonWJ (talk) 22:35, 21 February 2020 (UTC)JohnstonWJ[reply]

Minor edits

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Toccata quarta (talk) 09:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC) Thank you for that clarification.
