"Someone reverted my changes!"

Sorry that your change didn't stick. If I reverted your change, I likely made clear why on your talk page. For help, you should reply to that message or read up here: Help:Introduction

If you were meaning well with your change, common reasons are:

• Your edit introduced claims which aren't sourced or verifiable
  • Instead, you could: search online or in a library / journal for a verifiable, reliable source.
• You tweaked claims in a way that no longer reflect the source
  • Instead, you could: move the tweaked claims elsewhere in the same article and provide additional sources.
• Your edit broke something on the page
  • Don't worry, just use the "show preview" button.
  • Click here for a good starting point if you are brand new to editing.
• The reason is in my edit summary
  • Mention me on a talk page if you need clarification. If you think it is a dispute, read WP:DISPUTE.

Komonzia's history with this place

I have been editing Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikidata, and/or Wikimedia Commons since 2005, on-and-off. Deep edits and new articles are rare for me, and I usually reserve them for Commons.

Editing has been a gateway to learning about various other technical pursuits, learning how to research, as well as teaching me (with some trial and error) about human nature in online communities.

In that way, despite its numerous flaws, Wikipedia is something we can collectively attempt to improve, while in parallel learning and trying to improving individually though these actions. This is why I keep finding myself coming back.

I only use one account at a time. This one was started as a WP:CLEANSTART.

Significant contributions

These are all things that cannot be classified as housekeeping, anti-vandalism, copyediting, updates to graphs & maps, etc. - the majority of my edits - but are instead something I see as cooler than that.

• Talk:List of countries by GNI (PPP) per capita/table generator.py - A script to take a specific World Bank dataset and convert it into Wikipedia table syntax, to make future updates much easier.
• Ah, I don't have any others yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Favourite tools

• Article maintenance: Citation hunt
• Edit history analysis: WikiBlame, XTools Blame
• Searching & researching: Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, AI searching tools like Consensus and ChatGPT with searching enabled and telling it what types of sources I want
• Others I forget now.
