Dear Ritterat,

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for making lots of good edits.

I hope you agree that, when someone deliberately or accidentally deletes half a sentence (including half a word in the middle of a sentence), it's better to undo that entire deletion and restore the whole sentence, rather than restoring just the one word that was truncated and leaving half-a-sentence that doesn't make sense.

When you say a word "was originally left incomplete" (as in edit ), I get the impression that you didn't notice that the word was originally spelled correctly, then a later edit deleted half the sentence, including half of that word.

I already clicked on "undo" to restore the entire sentence, in edit.

I'm telling you about the undo feature (Help:Reverting) because I hope that in the future, when you see this kind of damage that plagues Wikipedia, it will take you less time to fix that damage, leaving more time to make your usual good edits. --DavidCary (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
