Interlocutor (linguistics) and manually reverting
Hello, Vaughjos. You recently attempted to revert Interlocutor (linguistics) by (it appears to me) copying and pasting the comparison mark-up. That has the unfortunate effect of adding a lot of material that is neither article next nor Wiki markup. A better way to copy and paste is to find the version you want in the article history, and copy that. This is described at Help:Reverting. Alternately, you could use WP:Twinkle, but that requires you to change your preferences, and is only available to autoconfirmed users.

I have undone that manual revert. I then intended to re-add the potentially source-able bits from the page history. Unfortunately, very little of what was in that history was of much value, since it seemed to confuse 'interlocutor' with 'vocative' (as I suggested at Talk:Interlocutor (linguistics) in 2013). Have a look at the current state of the page, and please add whatever you think is missing. Be aware, though, that reliable sources are necessary for most information, and un-sourced and unsupportable claims are liable to be removed.

Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 07:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
