Breaking templates and references
Hi, and welcome again to Wikipedia. Thanks for making copy editing improvements. However, it looks like all of your edits are converting templates and references to plain text. Are you using the editor directly in Wikipedia, or copying and pasting into some other text editor? Best, Politanvm talk 06:57, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

yes i am using an alternate text editor Sinly12 (talk) 07:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

why did you revert my changes???? Sinly12 (talk) 07:33, 11 February 2022 (UTC)


 * As I wrote above and in my edit summaries, in addition to wording changes, your edits are removing all references and templates from articles. It’d be better to use Wikipedia’s editor (which you can learn more about at Help:Introduction). Or when you’re copying and pasting, use the Source editor so that you copy all of the references correctly. Politanvm talk 14:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * To elaborate a little further, take a look at this revision, and click "Wikitext". You should see that there is a lot of text on the left side highlighted in yellow that is missing from the right side. For example:
 * replaced with [1]
 * replaced with [2]
 * All of this wikicode is critical to the article. It's what makes references show up in the "References" section. Again, I'm not reverting your edits because the changes you're making are wrong, I'm reverting them because your edits are inadvertently breaking the articles. Let me know if you have any questions.

 * Apologies for the multiple messages, but I also noticed some of your edits switch British English (or a similar English variant) to American English. This usually isn't necessary. Articles just need to be consistent within themselves, and typically an article relating to a British subject will use British English. Please try to avoid unnecessarily switching articles to a different English variant. You can learn more about this in the Manual of Style: MOS:ENGVAR.
