English variety
Hello 360Moves, and welcome. Please read about English variety, MOS:TIES, and MOS:RETAIN. If an article is already using one variety of English, then don't change it to another. You have a couple of changes to back out at Karl Langer (architect) (traveled back to travelled; *-ization back to *-isation) and there may be more.

Also, if you break up your edits into multiple, smaller chunks, there's less chance that someone will revert your entire edit, when most or some of it was okay, but some parts of it were not. Thanks for using edit summaries with your edits, but summaries like Copy editing throughout the article. are not helpful to other editors as far as giving a clue what you actually did; this may also be a symptom of trying to do too much all at once. Try making incremental edits aimed at one sentence, paragraph or small section, and write an edit summary that explains why you made that change; a good way to think about what your edit summary should say, is to think about what is the answer to the question, "How did this edit improve the article?" Hope this helps, and once again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 10:10, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Using the Show Preview button
Have a look at the article Poffertjes, which you changed in this edit. Do you see the misspelling you introduced, changing the correct spelling, and, to a typo? Please fix that. Also, before saving your changes, try clicking the "Show preview" button, or the "Show changes" button, to review the changes you've made so far, before saving them. If everything looks good, then and only then should you click the Publish changes button. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 10:13, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Another editor changed it for you, so you don't have to. Please read Help:Show preview so you know how to do it in your future edits. Mathglot (talk) 00:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
