Speedy deletion nominations
I have just declined two speedy deletion nominations that you made under speedy deletion criterion G7, which is to say "as a page where the author of the only substantial content has requested deletion and/or blanked the page". In neither case could I see any evidence that the creator of the page had requested deletion. Making nominations under criteria which obviously don't apply is not only pointless, as it can't possibly achieve anything useful, but it is also harmful, as it causes administrators to check the relevant history, which takes up time which could instead be used for more useful work. Please be careful to avoid doing the same again. JBW (talk) 21:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And I just declined to Speedy taggings for the same reason. Please stop tagging pages for deletion until you review Criteria for Speedy Deletion and you understand the criteria better. Liz Read! Talk! 21:27, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I will do that. 27 is my favorite number. You can ask me why here. 21:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Minor edits
Please be careful only to use the "minor edit" flag for minor edits which require no review. I don't think or  are minor edits. The second example introduces ambiguity: does Jupiter lacks a well-defined solid surface like the other giant planets mean that other planets have, or lack, a solid surface?

MOS and style
Hi there, regarding this edit. Please note that you don't have to capitalise the first letter of a piped wp:Wikilink. For instance, you changed
 * gravity to gravity
 * boundary to boundary
 * the same spectrum to the same spectrum
 * black holes of stellar mass to black holes of stellar mass
 * galaxies to galaxies
 * binary systems to binary systems
 * announced the first direct detection to announced the first direct detection.

I have undone this part of your edit.

You also changed which is against wp:ENGVAR and wp:RETAIN. On the other hand, there are occurrences of both "center" and "centre". For consistency I changed them all to "centre", except in article and book titles.
 * galactic center to galactic centre ,

I also noticed that you changed which is not encyclopedic and certainly not needed — see MOS:PASSIVE, the note at MOS:YOU. I undid that part of your edit too.
 * passive mode "The presence of a black hole can be inferred..." to active mode "Scientists can infer the presence of a black hole...",

Please note that changing styles generally goes against wp:STYLERET. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 19:51, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, I just partially reverted a similar edit. I would have made a new post on your talk page, but I noticed that this one would have been quite similar. I can only repeat 's points, especially those about WP:RETAIN and MOS:PASSIVE. Renerpho (talk) 09:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Period after question mark in quotes
Hi, regarding my edit, partly undoing your preceding edit, see for instance. More entries with https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=period+after+question+mark+in+quotes. - DVdm (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC) - DVdm (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Quotion marks and punctuation revisited
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Black hole. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.

Regarding this edit, I have partly undone it. See MOS:LQ: "If the quotation is a single word or fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside." - DVdm (talk) 15:30, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Bad copy -edit
- DVdm (talk) 21:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Note: I agree with this. I misread your edit. Standard double quotes are indeed better. My mistake. - DVdm (talk) 21:25, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Bad copy-edits
Please be much more careful. See. That is unacceptable. - DVdm (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Here's another very bad one:, creating a link to Cartesian plane plane. - DVdm (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
