Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Sleeping Beauty did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Harpick (talk) 15:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for the contributing! I've just went through a couple of your edits after one of them got flagged on Recent Changes, and noticed that you are making some changes to links so that they contain extra punctuation - this normally is not necessary and generally shouldn't be done.

Showing your changes using Wikitext to make the changes more visible, here are a couple of examples:

• Your edit to Edgar Allan Poe changed "[[The Raven]]" to [[The Raven|"The Raven"]] - putting the quotes inside the link.
• Similarly for Wonder Woman, your changes introduced commas inside links, changing the links from [[Rachel Kimsey]] and [[Stana Katic]] to [[Rachel Kimsey|Rachel Kimsey,]] and [[Stana Katic|Stana Katic,]].
• For Gothic Fiction, your changes introduced incorrect periods in the title of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, changing the markup from [[Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]] to [[Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]

This may seem like a bit of a nit-pick, as you're contributing in good faith and these kinds of mistakes can happen to anyone, especially in the visual editor as it is harder to see where links start and end - but they do introduce maintenance burden on other users who have to go through and fix these links. I'd recommend switching over to the source editor (rather than the visual editor) and editing there, because it lowers the chance of accidental link editing.

Also, in case you haven't seen it - Wikipedia doesn't have a recommended style for Oxford commas - it just recommends that its use (or lack of use) is consistent throughout each article - introducing OC's in some sentences is (in general) not the most helpful change.

Hi, you just edited Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film) with the edit summary I made some orthotypographical changes and minor edits. Please note that the subject in the leading section should be in bold and italic (for a film or book). Please don't change that. The same goes for several other books and films that you've changed.

You're also introducing some grammatical errors. If English is not your first language, I would be wary of making changes to grammar. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 13:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for letting me know about this. May I ask what grammatical errors I made so that I can correct them and also stop making them? Noilavear (talk) 14:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
