Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to History of technology, did not appear to be constructive and have 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 your 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. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 08:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Grammar edits
Hi Gaya3em, are you using grammar checking software of some kind? Please don't do that when you edit Wikipedia – that kind of tool will always make a lot of errors when it suggests things to change, and so it's absolutely crucial that you go through each individual change and make sure that you understand what the change does to the text, and whether it is actually correct. I'm afraid all your edits so far have introduced errors into sentences that were perfectly fine before, and have also made pointless changes from one variety of English to another one (wholesale changes of "which" to "that", for instance), as described below. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit, 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. Doug Weller talk 08:19, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

You are making too many mistakes
"The ceremonies here held outside" was a typo as this was not discussing a particular place, but you changed it to "The ceremonies here were held outside". You changed hunter-gatherers to hunter-gathererss. You made word upper-case that should have remained lower-case which broke a "refname". Etc. Doug Weller  talk 08:23, 16 February 2022 (UTC)


 * You even changed a quotation form " " for the purposes of enforcing our Parking Program" to "to enforce our Parking Program.. " - yes, you also corrected an error, but on the whole your new errors are at least as bad as any you've corrected.  Doug Weller  talk 08:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not happy with blocking you but at the moment I need to stop you. You are clearly trying to help the encyclopedia but although you make some needed corrections they are accompanied by new errors. I'm going to see if I can get you help. Doug Weller talk 08:29, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Please read
WP:ANI. If you have any comments, make them here and hopefully someone will copy them there. I can't right now as I have to go out. Doug Weller talk 08:36, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
