Happy editing! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

River articles
With regret, I had to revert your edit to River Ouse because all other River articles use that style, even the more silly case of River Avon. You would need to open a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography to get the practice changed. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

It is completely unacceptable to delete other editors' contributions, as you did with  at Talk:River Great Ouse. If you repeat such behaviour, you may expect to lose editing privileges. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Is this the correct way to respond?

I'm relatively new to this and apologies for the delete, it certainly wasn't deliberate. I will make sure I don't do anything like that again.

 * Please accept my apologies for my over-reaction. Given that you are new, I should have suspected a cock-up rather than assumed a conspiracy. I hope I haven't discouraged you from continuing to contribute to Wikipedia. Please don't worry about making mistakes (some of us are still making them! ), we've all learned that way. Most(!) of your fellow editors will wp:assume good faith and just correct the mistake: if you wp:watch the articles that you edit, you will see how the correction was done. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:43, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
