Hello, I'm Lefcentreright. I noticed that you recently removed content from Kelso, KwaZulu-Natal without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Lefcentreright Discuss  11:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Umzinto ‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Lefcentreright Discuss  11:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Ifafa Beach ‎, you may be blocked from editing. Lefcentreright Discuss  12:02, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Park Rynie. Lefcentreright Discuss  12:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I did not remove any crucial information. I only updated it since most the information there was either wrong, had punctuation/grammar mistakes or irrelevant. Most of the time I made minor changes.

I did explain my changes, there were only a few occasions when I did not log my changes due to them being mistakes, & I don't think I should be receiving aggressive messages from anyone for it.

Editors hardly update information on Townships in South Africa, & I think that's a waste of everyone's time. Wikipedia is about community power, & if the content supervisors at Wikipedia don't want my help, that's fine. You all can provide the world with outdated/wrong information.

I did not, "vandalize" (which you spelt wrong) any pages on Wikipedia, all information can be verified (municipal managers, residents etc.)

 * Hi, there. I disagree. You lied in your edit summaries, you removed content without explaining why, you change things without citing a source, and you deliberately introduced factually incorrect errors. Umzinto, Park Rynie, Scottburgh, Ifafa Beach, and Kelso, KwaZulu-Natal are NOT in eThekwini. They are located in the uMdoni Local Municipality, Ugu District Municipality. The provincial government's website says so. Furthermore, you updated the language demographics at Scottburgh see here without citing a source and it didn't even add up to 100%. Also, you claimed to have fixed the grammar on Pietermaritzburg, but you actually made it worse. See here. Your current edits are not helpful.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I had informed you that I did make a few mistakes. I did not know those areas were under a different municipality, I take full responsibility for that mistake & I understand why you would be upset. I apologise.

But a few of those areas do not fall under the South Coast Area, only the municipality is the same. Many people think otherwise, so I wanted to make sure people have the correct ideology.

For 90% of articles edited, I definitely did a good job.

You cannot expect me to take editing advice from someone who cannot spell the word, "Vandalise", let alone their Wikipedia username.

Thank You: "Lefcentreright" - Mr. W. Pedia Mr. W. Pedia (talk) 00:18, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, there. I spelt my username like that because I wanted to. I could've gone for "Left-centre-right", but I chose "Lefcentreright", because it's unique. Also, most Wikipedia articles and templates use American English, so you will find spellings like "vandalize", "realize", etc. I've been an editor since 2017. I have more than 23,000+ edits and I am an administrator on the Afrikaans Wikipedia (not that that should matter).


 * Also, I know the South Coast very, very well. Let me try to help you. When you edit an article or make a change, please use sources. It is crucial that you use sources/references. If Wikipedia didn't have such strict guidelines on utilising sources, it would've been a tabloid, so please, use them. Please don't remove content. It might be irrelevant to you, but it might just help another person. Also, when you "improve grammar/spelling", make sure that it will be a genuine improvement. This edit on Pietermaritzburg didn't help anyone. Best, Lefcentreright  Discuss  17:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Ma'am

I agree that my edit on Pietermaritzburg was unhelpful, but a few of my other edits should be reverted. If you look on Wikipedia, "Suburbs Under Durban" a few places in the South Coast are listed.

This is because not all places have to be under eThekwini Municipality and the article even mentions that. This was what I was trying to mend on those articles.

Residents in Umzinto, Scottburgh etc. have to travel to Durban Central and not The Hybiscus Coast for visits to SARS for example. You can check this distance-difference on Google Maps, it's approximately 40mins from Umzinto/Scottburgh to Durban Central and approximately 50mins to Port Shepstone.

If I could edit a few articles on the South Coast, you could edit my edits or at least guide me, since you have a better understanding of how to use "Wikipedia For Editors."

Editing should be a community-sourcing activity, not an unpaid job. This is voluntary & I don't appreciate being "Audited" by Senior Editors and Goddamn bots over trivial edits.

Please respond at your earliest convenience.
