Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Zooplankton—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 16:24, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Zooplankton. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Serols (talk) 16:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Zooplankton, you may be blocked from editing. FiberTech (talk) 16:27, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Woah, wait a minute... I... think there's a misunderstanding going on? I think these edits are being made in good faith, according to the edit summaries!! We shouldn't be so hasty here!! FictitouslyZealous (talk) 16:36, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought. I've been watching this article since this all started. Note the large addition of text at the beginning. Scorpions13256 (talk) 16:38, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Basically, they moved a whole section to the beginning of the page. In good faith. And ended up doing that in two edits, one removing it, another adding it back earlier. That edit of them removing that section, was caught by people's filters, as content blanking, when in reality that's not what the intent of the edit was.

 * Do you want me to ping MaterialScientist? A lot of the text appeared to be unreferenced. Scorpions13256 (talk) 16:45, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

It actually seems to me like they are treating their edits as though they were making them on a sandbox, and are doing things one step at a time, instead of doing things all at once to make it not seem like they are removing content. If they were to make their changes to a sandbox page first, then do it all at once, that would look much better honestly. FictitouslyZealous (talk) 16:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt that they are acting in good faith, but they still deleted images without discussing it on the talk page. I think I'll notify the administrator. Also, remember to indent your replies. Scorpions13256 (talk) 16:55, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
