Copyedits for wikilinks
Thanks for your contributions. I just wanted to let you know that I undid the majority of the changes you made to wikilinks in your recent edit at Normandy landings, per WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN. In the future, please do not "fix" working links that use redirects, as that does not represent an improvement to the article, and may make it worse. I left your wording changes alone in that edit, although some of them seemed like a wash: "because of", instead of "due to"? If you insist, I guess. If you have any questions on wikilinks, piping, or redirects, please don't hesitate to contact me at my Talk page. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:59, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Double links
Hello. Per MOS:LINKONCE, it is acceptable to link terms once in the lead and once more in the body of the article. Doing so is standard practice on Wikipedia. I therefore ask you to not remove any more links from the bodies of articles if they have been linked in the lead but not elsewhere in the bodies, and to revert any active changes that you have made to articles in which you have done this. Thank you. Display name 99 (talk) 18:50, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

References and copyediting
Hey! While I was going through the article Ghana, I had noticed that there were quite a few references which had been left in a bad state (undefined, missing sfn references, etc). After some digging, it seemed to be from some of your copyediting on the article. Please keep in mind to be sure that, when removing content, to check if it involves a named reference, and if so, see if any other section relies on it. If it does, just move the definition to another area. Same applies for importing content from other articles - be sure that any content with a reference also has it's definition and that it doesnt conflict with existing references.

(For more information, see the history of the page Ghana - the relevant diffs and whatever else are in my edit summaries)

Thanks, and keep up the good work. Aidan9382 (talk) 08:40, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Colonisation of Africa and no target errors
Hi Civil Engineer 3. You removed the year from the references in Colonisation of Africa. These are a required part of how referencing works, and I've had to go through and restore them. This is detailed on the harvid template, and the errors removing the year cause can be seen here. The second link also shows how to show these errors, as they are hidden by default. If you have any questions just ask. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 20:58, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Question about wiki editing "style guide"
Hello! I'm new to editing wikipedia and will admit I've not read or learned everything wiki has published in their guides. I was checking the few articles that I had contributed to in order to see if my edits still remained and saw you had also edited an article that I had (though you did not change anything I wrote). You mostly changed grammar and some style issues but I noticed that you were change some word numbers (one, two, three, etc.) to numerical numbers. What I learned either as a uni student or a proofreader (can't remember which) was to use word numbers for one through ten (or was it nine) and then numerical numbers after that. Is this also the case for wikipedia? Thanks! 162.154.240.33 (talk) 11:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

On marines and capitalization thereof
Hi Civil Engineer. I don't know if you're aware, but this topic was discussed extensively fairly recently (here) and the consensus in that discussion was to keep the long-standing practice of not treating the marines of the USMC as a proper noun, regardless of what that service prefers for its members, in the same way that we do not capitalize "soldier", "airman", etc. This is spelled out clearly at (and with the apt shortcut) MOS:MARINE. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 20:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
