Short descriptions
Hello, and thanks for wanting to improve Wikipedia. However, please stop changing the "short description" of so many articles. You have not been here long enough to understand how those are supposed to be done. Many of your changes have been reverted, and many others should be. The main problem: you have been changing the descriptions of politicians, cabinet members, etc. to list their current position. But they have probably held multiple in their career, and the short description encompasses their career in general. For example, see Anthony Blinken, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jon Ossoff, etc. Please focus on making helpful changes to article content, but leave the short descriptions alone. Ask me if you have any questions. MelanieN (talk) 23:30, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * P.S. In particular, if somebody corrects your change, do NOT make it again, as you did at Nancy Reagan. Just stop editing short descriptions. You do not understand how Wikipedia does them. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Muboshgu. I noticed that you recently removed content from Democratic Party (United States) 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:38, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Democratic Party (United States), you may be blocked from editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:58, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mr.govjames! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Democratic Party (United States) several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:11, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am going to revert your multiple changes of "Massachusetts" to "the Commonwealth of Massachusetts". There are many things in the world that are technically accurate but of no relevance to the subject at hand and instead interrupt the flow of the article. This is one of them.
