Happy editing!

Thanks for helping, but perhaps better read a bit first. You changed many things in today's featured article, and one thing introduced a grammar mistake. Try to make not so many changes at a time, and respect that some articles in in American English, and others are not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Australian Mist
I reverted your edit in the article Australian Mist because they are not in accordance with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. For example:

- It is usually better to use the full words instead of contractions, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations#Contractions

- There is no need to use a pipe in a link if the text already links to the correct article, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#NOPIPE

- If you want to add a link to an article that is not mentioned in the text, you might consider adding a "See also" section, like many articles have. Although in this case I doubt if someone reading about a certain cat, will be interested in reading about animal welfare.

Further it might be useful to read some more in the Manual of Style. I hope this helps. Keesal (talk) 09:17, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Vidhz .24! Your additions to Spencer (village), New York have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 23:28, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
