Please do not change quotes. The "be[ing]" is to change a sentence fragment word "be" into a meaningful sentence. The quote was probably "Aus TV" as many non-Australians may not know what "Aus" means it was changed to "Aus[tralian] TV" The brackets indicate the change.
Please do not remove a citation without giving a valid reason in the wp:Edit summary.
You can find out what a lot of those wiki and html formatting chars are on wp:Markup. May I recommend help:introduction? Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please use American English on articles about Americans. There are numerous English variants acceptable on Wikipedia. See wp:ENGVAR. wikt:parlor is correct for American topics and wikt:parlour for British topics. You can easily check spellings by typing "wikt:" prefacing a word on the search box in the upper right corner. Note it may be case-sensitive.
If you have changed other articles' English variants, would you please change them to the correct variant? Thank you Adakiko (talk) 20:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice, will do. Lavsila (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Iris West-Allen (Arrowverse) 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:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

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 (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.
