Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Mobile phone overuse, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that I copyedited your contributions to this article to remove the inappropriate second-person and colloquial usage. Wikipedia isn't "journalism"; it's an encyclopedia, and contractions, addressing the reader in the second person, and how-to advice are not appropriate in this setting. It's also not necessary or appropriate to build excitement in the reader by alluding to other features in a dramatic way with, for example, "there is even the possibility to limit usage in certain apps" (not your exact words; I'm paraphrasing). You may not realize you're doing this because this style of writing is so pervasive right now that people do it unconsciously. One of the enjoyable benefits of writing for Wikipedia (at least in my opinion, for what that's worth) is learning to change tone between settings! Thanks for your contribution and I hope you enjoy getting to know how the encyclopedia works behind the scenes.   Julietdeltalima   (talk) '' 16:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
