Tesla birthplace
Hi John! Could you please make a correction? Tesla was born in Croatia within the Kingdom of Hungary, not "Austrian Empire." Croatia was in a personal union with Hungary since the 1100s. The Austrian Empire ceased to exist after the Hungarian War of Independence in 1848 and the resulting compromise in 1867 establishing the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Kingdom of Hungary, and its crown lands, including Croatia, were themselves a part of that new empire. This is an important nuance many miss. Here's a good resource: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Croatian–Hungarian_Settlement.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by AHF-AMSZ (talk • contribs) 05:17, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for copyediting edits like these! It's really important that readers help maintain the quality of content on Wikipedia articles: every little bit helps! If you are looking for more novels to copyedit, there is a great list of articles that could use some work at: this tool! It would be really great if you could help clean up the plot summaries of articles! Sadads (talk) 01:58, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you.

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.
