Editing advice

Unfortunately, there are several problems with your editing, and I am writing to let you know what those problems are, and to offer you some advice on how to reduce the frequency of such problems.

First, a description of the problems. You have added personal commentary or expressions of a point of view to article; whether something is "more fitting" or not is a matter of opinion. A Wikipedia article should never contain opinions or judgements of its writers. You have posted statements which need explanation or justification; you have written "A more accurate way of understanding addition" without any explanation as to how or why it is "more accurate". You have repeatedly misspelled words ("reccurring", "reccuring") and made grammatical mistakes ("it's" where you clearly meant "its"). You have made statements the meaning of which is obscure; I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "reccuring scenarios", and I very much doubt that most readers of the encyclopaedia would know what you meant; "having the property i² = − 1" could be an acceptable synonym for "satisfying the equation i² = − 1", but "having the property i² = − 1 occur" just doesn't make any sense. You have used non-standard language for mathematical concepts, and moreover have done so inconsistently, jumping between "object" and "member" for the concept which in standard mathematical language is called an "element". However, a more important point is that in some cases you have gone back and restored erroneous text, or variations on it, after other editors have removed it; in the case of "reccurring"/"reccuring" you have repeatedly reverted to your preferred version despite it being removed by two different editors.

Secondly, advice on how to avoid such problems. Since your grasp of English usage, including the technical language of mathematics, is clearly limited, perhaps editing an English language encyclopaedia isn't a good idea, but if you do, then don't try to improve the language used in articles. Don't post personal opinions, judgements, commentary, or expressions of a point of view into articles, as they should never be included in a Wikipedia article. If you find other editors are reverting your editing, don't just repeat what you have done, or a slightly different version which is essentially similar; if you really think there are good reasons why your version is better, then explain what those reasons are, ask why the other editors think otherwise, and try to reach an agreed version. Repeatedly reverting to your preferred version in the face of other editors undoing it is known as "edit-warring", and is considered unhelpful. It would be a good idea to look at the policy on edit-warring. If you do so you will find that editors who persist in edit-warring after being warned are likely to be blocked from editing by administrators; naturally you will wish to avoid that.

Please visit the links above in the Welcome section. Also please familiarize yourself with the BRD method for seeking consensus when other editors disagree with you.—Anita5192 (talk) 21:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
