Bridgeport, Connecticut

Thank you for your extensive edits to Bridgeport, Connecticut. Please pay particular attention to how you compose your text, so it is easy for readers to understand. For example:

• "Bridgeport's crime rate started going down around 2010, by nearly half by 2016." Do you mean, "...and by 2016 had been reduce by 50 percent"?
• "The once 15,000 strong neighborhood of Hunktown". Did you mean, "Hunktown, with a population of 15,000"?
• "The Bridgeport-Lycoming division of AVCO, founded 1951, employed at times more than 12,000 people due to military contracts during the Cold War. The company saw layoffs due to military demand, it operated throughout the 50s and 60s on military contracts, as the company built tanks, helicopters, etc, moving out of state in 1984."
  • Did you mean: "Military contracts during the 1950s and 1960s enabled the Bridgeport-Lycoming division of AVCO, founded 1951, to employ at times more than 12,000 people, building tanks, helicopters, and other military hardware. Decreased demand led to layoffs, and then closure in 1984."
• You added a sentence that says only: "Relocated to Fremont, North Carolina." This is not a proper sentence.
• You wrote, "He was known for being one of the city's biggest promoters". What does this mean, "biggest promoters"? How was this measured? Is it encyclopedic?

Because you are making such large additions of text, it is very important that what you write is grammatically correct. For this reason, I would strongly suggest you make edits in your sandbox first, and reach out to a member of the Guild of Copy Editors for assistance. Thank you.

Yes, all of that is correct. Please forgive my poor grammar. Should I edit the mistakes? “Biggest promoters” is a quote from a New York Times article and should have been in quotes, but to be fair, it should be removed, it is not measurable in any way. I’ll ensure that any Wikipedia edits from now on on any articles will have proper grammar and adhere to these standards. Thanks for the heads up! Abrahamu San (talk) 14:02, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for taking my advise, and for your hard work improving these article. Just do your best, and if I can assist you please ask. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
