Advice.
I would recommend in future, that you do not approach any veteran Wikipedian with such accusations of vandalism, as you did me. Not everyone is as patient as I. GoodDay (talk) 17:56, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Response to commenting editors
Hello, I noticed you made a comment about GoodDay that did not seem civil. In some cases, it may be appropriate to notify the user about what they had done wrong. But just saying that the edit was vandalism when it was not can consider bad practice. Thank You. NicholasHui (talk) 23:35, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
