Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Hans Jonatan— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the 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.

Hi, again. Thanks for this. I agree to keep the name "Jonatan". Please feel free to change my text, if there is something you disagree with. I am editing for the first time. I am on a Wikipedia course at the University of York, with experts at my side. My best, Gislipalsson ≈≈≈≈ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gislipalssson (talk • contribs) 14:57, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

The signature was almost OK, but instead of 4 tildes (~), you used double tildes (≈), which doesn't work . I also have indented your talk page message (see wp:THREAD and wp:INDENT). Yes, there's a LOT to learn here. Happy editing! - DVdm (talk) 15:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
