Grammar
Please see this and this, this, and this. In half of your recent edits, you have not "fixed grammar" as you said in your edit summary. You damaged grammar or induced bad style. Please be much more careful when copyediting. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 08:44, 20 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Duly noted. Came back after a long time. I had set "fixed grammar" as my default summary. Maybe I'm not as experienced as you. You are better. But I'm learning and adapting. We all do. Peace out SassyGamer483 (talk) 09:22, 20 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Please make sure to always provide a relevant edit summary. By the way, I agree with the one you gave here. Thanks for that! - DVdm (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome :) SassyGamer483 (talk) 09:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Grammar revisited
With this edit you did not "fix grammar". Same with this edit, where you changed the meanings. I have undone these edits. - DVdm (talk) 09:01, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I think you have different preferences for English grammar than me. I believe both "are of ... origin" and "have ... origin" are correct and shouldn't make a difference. But you do you. SassyGamer483 (talk) 09:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't see how that changed the meanings? I speak Asian English. What kind of English do you speak? Accent? Region? SassyGamer483 (talk) 09:08, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * "Theoretical" and "Hypothetical" also have the same meaning. I don't care if you disagree. Your "grammar" wins. Sorry. Bye. SassyGamer483 (talk) 09:12, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Please indent your talk page messages as outlined in wp:THREAD and wp:INDENT — See Help:Using talk pages. Thanks.
 * When different preferences for English grammar exist, we have no business making changes to impose our own personal preferences. That is rude vis-a-vis the person who wrote the original text. That person made a choice and we should respect that. See also wp:RETAIN and wp:ENGVAR.
 * There is a serious difference between theoretical and hypothetical, specially in a scientific context, as is the case here. "Theoretically-predicted" is standard jargon. "Hypothetically-predicted" is nonsense. If you don't understand that, it is a bad idea to make such changes to science related articles. Perhaps you should edit the Wikipedia of your own language.
 * Also, have a look at user, who made similar problematic "grammar corrections", and who ended up blocked for similar behaviour. - DVdm (talk) 10:03, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * My national language doesn't have the words of science that I can edit. Alright no personal preferences. But if you don't accept the variety of people who speak English, how they define the technicalities of the probable mistakes you point out, that's your problem. Languages are more diverse and complex than you think. If you don't accept people's linguistic diversity, you are denying them their rights of freedom and their rights of acceptance. There are policies for neutral points of view, so that everyone is able to understand articles in their own language. Do what you think is right. SassyGamer483 (talk) 11:56, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * An edit that changes "Theoretically-predicted" to "Hypothetically-predicted" in a scientific context, is not a matter of linguistic diversity or neutrality of point of view. It is an edit that damages the article by replacing a standard expression with nonsense. That is unacceptable—see wp:CIR. Do not take this as a personal attack, but as a serious warning. - DVdm (talk) 12:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I was not talking about that edit on "Allotropes of Carbon". I'm talking about your overall behaviour. The way you write your reasons for reverting edits can be done with more kindness. I don't know what you think when you type that, but it seems unkind and unacceptable. We both have to take away lessons from here on improvement of our behaviours. Peace out SassyGamer483 (talk) 13:10, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi SassyGamer483, I appreciate your enthusiasm for correcting grammar (Wikipedia indeed has some of the worst examples of it) but edit summaries are not the place to start an edit war, even a slow one. The correct sequence is the bold, revert, discuss cycle. There are many natural spring waters (see the associated categories) and Malvern Water is one of them, so  But the sentence "Malvern water is a natural spring water..." is still grammatically incorrect, because water is an uncountable noun. It should be "Malvern water is natural spring water" then, still does not match the linguistic situation. With all due respect, in my opinion your change therefore incorrectly alters the syntax. I wouldn't normally be concerned, but Malvern water article is a GA. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:13, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, I appreciate the article the way it is. Thank you for informing. Shall I revert that edit? SassyGamer483 (talk) 06:47, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, please. It would be a nice gesture if you were to revert it. Thank you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:43, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Have a good day ;) SassyGamer483 (talk) 11:23, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

An odd edit
nothing wrong with grammar and punctuation here? Johnbod (talk) 15:34, 4 December 2021 (UTC)


 * That sentence seems fine to me, but if not to you, you may make it better. Have a good day SassyGamer483 (talk) 16:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Merge proposal
Hi, I noticed that you tagged Alkali for merging. It's very important to try to follow the steps for merge discussions laid out at Merge, especially tagging both the source and destination pages and starting a discussion on the destination talk page so that others can see why you think the merge should occur. Just tagging one of the pages accomplishes very little. I tagged Base (chemistry) with the merge from template and started the discussion at Base (chemistry). Cheers!
