Question from Wikipubliceditorpro (03:31, 19 April 2024)

Hello! I've noticed that most of my 'Easy' suggested edits just ask me to revise "misspelled" words that are mostly just names that are incorrectly flagged. Is there a way for me to mark it as correct and contribute so that it doesn't falsely show up on another persons suggested edits page? --Wikipubliceditorpro (talk) 03:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Wikipubliceditorpro, and welcome to Wikipedia! Can you give me examples of pages that have been incorrectly flagged? ¹⁴¹ Pr -_\contribs/- 12:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sbrizvi (21:25, 21 April 2024)

Can you please help me? --Sbrizvi (talk) 21:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from EricKugel (00:45, 3 May 2024)

Hello, thank you for mentoring! I recently edited the "The Michaels Companies" page with a very obvious change, and within minutes someone reverted my edit and messaged me, threatening to block me for "vandalism". Thankfully, a very nice editor stepped in and helped. My question is how the first person was able to see my edit so quickly, and why did they so quickly accuse me of vandalism when it very obviously wasn't? Was it a bot? And if so, how were they able to find an edit so quickly? Is there a feed somewhere of incoming edits, or were they just watching the page? Sorry for the deluge of questions... --EricKugel (talk) 00:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello EricKugel, and welcome to Wikipedia! Well, it seems like that editor was a problematic editor. They have since been blocked. I think that person was just reverting random edits, and your edit was one of them. Anyways, just ignore the vandalism warning; your edit was constructive and helpful. :) ¹⁴¹ Pr -_\contribs/- 10:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hmm alright, thank you! Dustcloth (talk) 18:29, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

No problem! ¹⁴¹ Pr -_\contribs/- 08:18, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey Dencoolast! There is nothing inherently wrong with a C-class article, but this link gives information on how you could improve it. ¹⁴¹ Pr -_\contribs/- 16:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thank you! Ill take a look. Dencoolast33 (talk) 19:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hollandtanyafay (19:46, 9 May 2024)

How can I edit an incorrect County? Jamestown Texas is not in Newton County. It’s in Smith County. Someone changed it. --Hollandtanyafay (talk) 19:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Hollandtanyafay, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please can you provide more context? However, if you are sure that it is incorrect, you are free to edit it using the Edit button, and remember to cite reliable sources. ¹⁴¹ Pr -_\contribs/- 07:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
