Analytical structure is rather informal
Although I respect the reversions made by administrators here and never repeat things what they mislike, I wanted to tell you that the language looks more formal when the structure is synthetic: whence or wherefrom looks better than from where, whereinto better than into which, and so on. Let us not informalize academic writings... Furthermore, if words like whereby get spared from being rendered into by which, what be the problem with the words that you reverted of late? Cheers!

- Why does language has to be specifically formal, as opposed to being understandable to most readers? We should speak the language of the reader, not try to sound posh. Rua (mew) 16:03, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- After looking through your edits, I see that you've inserted archaic nonsense words into articles before, making them much harder to understand. Other editors have reverted you as well. I will continue to check and revert any more nonsense, and may have to get other people involved if you continue. Rua (mew) 16:18, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
