Note: Most of this was when I was just figuring out what was going on. I appreciate the assumptions of good faith and the effort to not bite newcomers that was shown to me when I first started editing.

Welcome!

Created the article tapakapa
I then expanded it from a stub to a complete article and showed the article to Tapakapa himself, and asked him if there was anything wrong with it via Discord

WP:ENGVAR
Hello. In recent edits to the pages Malê revolt, Yoruba language, K3 (band) and numerous others, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:08, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I realise that your edits were made in good faith but have made a start at reversing your WP:ENGVAR alterations. There is, however, such a vast number of them that this would take a considerable time to complete. Please can you address this yourself? Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Yeah sure, I’ll get some of them done. Sorry, I ran my Grammarly thing and just clicked all the redlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiser Kitkat (talk • contribs) 14:02, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that and to being receptive to constructive critcism. Using Grammarly may be useful to quickly highlight some potential problems but you will need to carefully consider every single suggestion it offers as, as is evident from your editing and dependent on settings, it may regard valid varieties of English or of style as being incorrect and also offer supposed corrections that, when you consider what the text is actually saying, are in fact spurious. Also, never alter a direct quote, even if you think there is an error in it.


 * In this case, the best way to address this may be to go back to your edits, initially self-revert them, then reconsider one by one which changes are required and desirable. Better to leave any out that you are not absolutely sure about. All the best and, again, thanks for being receptive. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:28, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Please will you revert all of the pages which edited so, without proper scrutiny. Until you do so, this is very much not "resolved".


 * Also, please familiarise yourself with WP:TPO, regarding that you should "Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page.". I started that thread, so changing its title apparently and incorrectly attributes that thread's title to me. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey, where can I see a list of the edits I've made? Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 15:11, 26 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Look at the menus on the left hand side of the screen and under "Tools" you'll find "User contributions". Or you can follow this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kaiser_Kitkat. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:20, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I believe I have them all fixed. if you find an individual article that I've done that I've made a mistake on, please link it below. Thanks for helping me correct these errors. Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 20:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)


 * You know very well that your edit history is visible and it is clear that you have not fixed a single thing. Do not give me cause to doubt my assumption of your good faith.


 * Not only have you not fixed any of the problems you have caused but you have made a similarly careless and largely incorrect series of edits to Florida Reef, which I have reverted. If you have this poor level of understanding as to what requires copyedting, please do not make such edits


 * As you have made many edits and the overwhelming majority of them contain at least as many new errors as they fix, it is an imposition to expect someone else to go in and highlight the faults in each edit for you. Please go and clean up your own mess. If you don't, I will and I will not be happy at the work you have caused me. I would suggest the best course of action is to revert each edit in its entirety. If you don't know about reverting, please read WP:RV. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:15, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

My edits to florida reefs were not incorrect, nor were there a series. I made a singular grammatical edit. There is not an over whelming majority of edits that are incorrect. A large amount of edits are on my talk page and a draft im working on, so that isnt possible. I will go through my edits if the edit i made is the current page version. Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 01:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Some of your edits to Florida Reef were correct, some were incorrect (e.g. you inexplicably and incorrectly capitalised the word "spurs" and changed the words "may be" to "maybe") and some arguably neutral but to no apparent benefit ("ships were wrecking on the Florida Reef at the rate of almost once a week" is perfectly correct in the past continuous tense and changing this to "wrecked" is, at best, no improvement). This is not "a singular grammatical edit". You still seem to be blindly accepting suggestions from Grammarly with an insufficient understanding as to whether they are correct or necessary. You have not just been working on your draft article but have made edits to a substantial number of existing artcles, as is plainly apparent from your edit history. As with the example of the Florida Reef article, you are using a scattergun approach by using a powerful tool without sufficient care and attention, are blindly accepting its suggestions without understanding and are introducing a substantial number of errors along with any improvements. Having viewed this poor hit rate, if I have to, I will revert your edits wholesale, a substantial effort but less so than having to examine each individaul edit in detail to sort the good from the bad. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:44, 27 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Having inspected a few more of your edits, I note that several have already been spotted as erroneous and reverted by other editors. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:52, 27 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I also note that you have been removing "This article may require copy editing..." tags from articles for which a cursory examination of many would indicate that the issue still requires action. I can only assume that you are removing the tags on the basis that Grammarly has not indicated anything to you. There is an awful lot more to copyediting than sticking an article through a grammar tool. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:55, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Minor edits
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:38, 25 April 2019 (UTC) okay, thanks Ill mark them that way

WP:CIRCULAR
Another thing to get across is that we don't use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia, per WP:CIRCULAR. Can you please revert any circular sourcing that you have added? Best wishes. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, can you point out which article ive incorrectly sourced? Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 15:09, 26 April 2019 (UTC)


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_people_from_Lake_Forest,_Illinois&diff=prev&oldid=894124108 for example. It not only can't be used as a ref, under policy, but is also just a duplicate of the link that precedes it, ie Marcus Lemonis. I've already reverted at least one other such edit that you added. Now you know how to find your contributions, you can hunt out any other and remove them. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:25, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll fix that article. If you find any others, please notify me below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiser Kitkat (talk • contribs)


 * Please look through your edits and find them yourself. Please also sign your posts, per WP:SIG. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Internet censorship in China, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Replicate and Create ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Internet_censorship_in_China check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Internet_censorship_in_China?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:13, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Liu Chengyou, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. ''It's evident that you have resumed your campaign of blindly accepting Grammarly suggestions without review or comprehension of what you are doing. Did you even check each of your edits on this article as you introduced numerous very evident errors? As I have had copious dialogue with you already in regard to this, you are aware of how disruptive your editing is, so if you persist I will regard this as wilful and vandalous and will request action if required.

Hello, I'm Eagles247. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. An image you uploaded appears to be copyrighted content borrowed from another website. If you are the copyright holder and would like to use this image on Wikipedia, please follow the instructions given at WP:DONATEIMAGE. This will start the process to get an OTRS ticket in place on the item proving that Wikipedia has permission to use it. The image should be uploaded to Commons, not directly to Wikipedia, so you will need to open a user account on that wiki as well. This may sound complex, but hopefully if you take it step by step it will go smoothly. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Eagles   24/7  (C)  18:32, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I am not the copyright owner, and I apologize for uploading that, I didn't understand the copyright rules. If you haven't removed it already, give me the link to it and I'll delete it. Kaiser Kitkat (talk) 20:25, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Wilhelm Reich are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Stop making careless edits
I note that you have resumed editing in the same careless manner that I have contacted you about on numerous occasions above. I can only assume you have gone back to blindly accepting Grammarly suggestions without understanding if they are appropriate and also assuming that your edit has resolved all issues that an article has been tagged for.

This edit makes a couple of slight improvements but also resumes your pattern of making needless WP:ENGVAR changes, one change that has no clear rationale and still leaves the sentence unclear, and removes a copyedit tag from an article which is patently still in need of considerable copyediting for clarity. These edits add a pointless link, deprecated per WP:DATELINK. This one introduces a mistake.

If you don't understand what you are doing, do not make the edit. This is disruptive. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:12, 8 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Regarding adding links to articles tagged as underlinked, please bear in mind the Manual of Style regarding linking. In the MOS:UNDERLINK section it advocates linking "words (that) are not linked and are needed to aid understanding of the article" but the MOS:UNDERLINK section cautions against "an excessive number of links, making it difficult to identify links likely to aid the reader's understanding significantly" including "Everyday words understood by most readers in context". Many or most links that you have added in the last day, e.g. to words such as "cars", "colleges", "computers", "magazines", "newspapers", "student" etc. are neither required nor helpful. Please familiarise yourself with the guideline as a whole but particularly these aspects. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:18, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

OK, thats my bad, ill do that in the future. -KaiserKitkat

Ive edited a new article with wikilinks, Is that the correct amount? -KaiserKitkat


 * Yes, that's more like it. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:31, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks - Kaiserkitkat

Prussia project
Thank you for the invitation. I am currently too busy to do any useful project space work, and I am less interested in Prussian history than in Catholic Germany, so I won't "join", but will be happy to assist with individual articles if I find the time. (I fondly remember translating a couple of articles to fill out all red links when Sanssouci was at WP:FAC in 2006; getting it back to FA status might be a good task for the future). I have put the project page on my watchlist and will notice if something is happening. Good luck with the project! —Kusma (t·c) 11:50, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
