Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Laws of thermodynamics, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Don't do this. You added your comments into a years-old comment by an different IP, and one that had already been replied to.'' Meters (talk) 23:55, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Noted thanks - the previous comment I edited was my own. I just have a different IP now.  Douglas Cotton B.Sc.(physics), B.A.(econ), Dip.Bus.Admin 2001:8003:26E2:3300:B457:ED9F:A8E4:1E7C (talk) 00:27, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * We have no way of knowing that the two IPs are the same person, and even if thy are, you changed the content of a comment from five years ago that had already been replied to. And frankly, even if you had made your addition as a separate thread and signed it with your current IP, it would have been unacceptable. See WP:NOTAFORUM. Article talk pages are to be used to discuss changes to the articles. They are not a  place to  have general discussions; or promote your views, papers or videos.
