Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you recently removed content from Canadian Premier League without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Varieties of English

Hello. I see you've been editing articles to switch words to the British spellings. Please don't do this. See MOS:ENGVAR. Also, I'm finding that you're making a large number of edits where the text was correct to begin with, while your version is incorrect. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. (t · c) buidhe 03:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: and you are still doing this. Please don't – it often does not end well. I am worried that you are using some kind of spellchecker on articles and this doesn't do well if you don't really stay on it very carefully. The thing of changing the German im Vergleich to the Denglish I'm Vergleich would be an example. You have to stop and check it is appropriate, please. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The concept of a quotation is that it is a copy of something that the source said. In your edit to the article on Muslims you trashed a quotation, by changing it to what you wanted it to say, rather than what the source said. Your edit has been reverted.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:05, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Maldives, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Sumanuil 23:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
