Direct quotes
Hi. You added a comma to the article Perth, with an edit summary of 'grammar'. I'd make a couple of points about this type of edit: Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  07:34, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * First, the text you changed was part of a direct quotation, presented in quotation marks, and attributed to the person who wrote it. In those circumstances, you should never adjust the spelling, punctuation or whatever - we show what was written, and how it was written.
 * Second, I'd urge you to be cautious when tinkering with punctuation, particularly commas. Sometimes they are just plain wrong, in which case it is worth fixing it, but in a lot of cases it's a matter of opinion or individual style - in such cases, there's likely no benefit to making the change, and it may introduce an inconsistency in the style across the whole article, if one person has written most of it. Just leave it unless you are very confident that it will be an improvement.

Copyright
Hi again - I see you just added a photograph to Tonight Alive, which you uploaded to commons as your own work. I found the exact same photograph at this website, where it was tagged with 'credit:promo'. I can only think of two possible circumstances here: Perhaps there is an alternative explanation that I haven't thought of - if so, please let me know. If one of the two circumstances above is correct, please take the necessary steps. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  07:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You did create the image, and you are the copyright holder, in which case you may have a conflict of interest with the band, since presumably your work involves promoting them. If this is the case, you need to make the necessary declarations as outlined in the guidelines; you will also need to provide evidence to the folk over at commons to show that you are the copyright holder.
 * You did not create the image, and you are not the copyright holder, in which case your declaration at commons was untruthful, and the image is a copyright violation which needs to be deleted. I have assumed that this is the case, and have tagged it for deletion on commons. There is nothing further you need to do in this case, other than taking care never to upload copyright violations again.
