Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Keith Daniel Williams has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 10:39, 15 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Maxim Masiutin What? I edit grammar, formatting, wording, & vocabulary.   I don't do content, so I'm not sure what you could be referring to.  I'm an English teacher & have edited many textbooks over the years.  I'm a huge Wikipedia fan & thought that my background might be useful.  I will, however, stop editing if my work is "inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate." 2601:602:8180:5290:88E0:1823:5B81:6089 (talk) 13:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * There were no grammar errors in the preexisting text. If you still think that there were errors, please consider explaining in the edit summary on what kind of grammar error it was there. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 13:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Maxim Masiutin 1. What exactly is your position at Wikipedia?
 * I have been editing W articles for years and have never been contacted before, except to
 * a) thank me for my work or $$$ or
 * b) gently ask if I'd like to increase my monthly contribution.
 * I, therefore, find these messages slightly alarming and suspicious and would like more information regarding the capacity in which you are contacting me.
 * 2. The text sounded as though it had been written by a non-native speaker (unnatural "of" phrases), so I rewrote them using possessive.  I have now given a full (boring) explanation of this in the edit summary, which I hope will be satisfactory. 2601:602:8180:5290:88E0:1823:5B81:6089 (talk) 05:37, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * 1. I'm a regular editor of Wikipedia, like you. I also don't like to receive such automated message on my talk page, I understand your concerns. Still, the edit itself did not seem necessary for me and the edit summary told that there was a grammar issue, which was not an accurate summary of your edit. Please see more details at WP:ES on how to fill the edit summaries.
 * 2. Thank you very much! And sorry that you felt embarrassed or threatened by that automated box. And thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 07:23, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
