Your edits were a mess but I have fixed them. Here's a list of things you should be aware of if you intend to continue editing:


 * 1) External links are not permitted from the text of the article, they must be in footnotes.
 * 2) Sites with user-generated content like LinkedIn and Medium are not considered to be reliable sources and should not be used in citations.
 * 3) Images should not be manually sized.
 * 4) ResearchGate papers should be cited to their published journal editions; if they have not been published in a journal, then they fall under the user-generated content rule.
 * 5) Lists of dated events should be in chronological order, not the reverse.
 * 6) The lead section is a summary; new material should be added to the body of the article, not the lead section, which is also limited to four paragraphs.
 * 7) In general, British spellings should not be changed to American spellings, or vice versa. See WP:ENGVAR. In this case, as American spellings are predominant in the article, correcting the British spellings was the correct thing to do, but one should be cautious making such a change. The same applies to date styles.

It is best if you make a series of small changes rather than one monolithic change. It's a lot of work to go through and fix someone's mistakes in a monolithic edit. Most editors would have simply reverted all your changes without trying to fix them.

Hope this helps you understand the ropes here. Skyerise (talk) 14:51, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
