Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I greatly appreciate your constructive edits on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (85.193.252.19) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place ((helpme))
before the question on this page.
Again, welcome! -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 01:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I appreciate your comment and suggestion to improve the Pfizer COVID vaccine table to make it more understandable to non-medical people. While you're free to continue contributing as an anonymous user if you prefer, we could use more people helping us out at the Medicine WikiProject - even if your contributions are only minor clarity/understandability issues. Wikipedia should be for everyone, and while a Wikipedia exists in Simple English, I don't think that's an excuse to make our articles here hard to understand. I hope you'll consider making an account and joining us - whether that's just looking for copyediting like the edit you suggested, or whether that's maybe more than that in the future. A lot of our medical articles are admittedly hard to understand - largely due to the fact that many of us who edit in the medical topics on WP have a real life education in the field - so it'd be nice to have a non-medical and/or non-native view on those articles. Regardless, I just wanted to express my thanks again for the suggestion and apologize for not immediately seeing what you saw and were commenting about in the table. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 01:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I was surprised to see this edit in my watchlist (and only partly because I had forgotten I had added the page). I'm assuming, from your fairly distinctive style of edit summary, that you are the same person I spoke to a few months ago editing from a slightly different IP address. If this is the case, can I ask why you felt the need to make this edit again? I thought we had come to an agreement. If it isn't you, I apologise, but since you phrased your edit as a question I feel I may as well attempt to have a discussion. I have changed the article for now, but feel free to discuss it with me either here or on the Golden Hour talk page if you find my point unsatisfactory. I have no stake in this besides the fact that I genuinely believe that the sentence as it is is the most straightforward and clear way of explaining the term. Thanks :) CateFromArcadia (talk) 17:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
On 22 November, an editor using this IP address left an edit summary that could be considered uncivil. As noted in the Wikipedia civility policy, users should refrain from making such snide remarks as Do you want to sound smart, at the expense of readability? Note that your self-satisfaction is important only to you.
If you are not the user who left that remark but you are currently editing using this IP address, I recommend creating an account to avoid confusion with the user who did leave that remark. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 22:54, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't mean to be harsh, and I don't think you edit in bad faith, but word meanings can be very nuanced. Sometimes your edits change the specific meaning intended. As a hypothetical example, "little" and "small" are generally equivalent. But "hiatus" and "break" have different meanings, especially in the context in which you made your edits. I'm sure some of your changes would make little difference in informal conversation, but they are not encyclopedic. I have some fluency in another language, but I would never try to substitute words with similar but not identical meanings in the language of that Wikipedia. I think you could spend your time more effectively focusing on edits that do not relate to the English vocabulary used in articles. Sundayclose (talk) 19:57, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of common misconceptions. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. VQuakr (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
Yes, stop pinging me if your only goal is to repeatedly beat a dead horse MONTHS after an issue is over. I didn't mind your pings when you sought an opinion about an edit, but your obsessional inability to let go of some sort of vendetta is not just annoying, it is disruptive to Wikipedia. Also don't post such comments on my talk page, including a response to this message. Have a good day. Sundayclose (talk) 16:48, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Responding to your message at my Talk page. You don't appear to be editing anymore, so I don't want to spend a lot of time answering if you're not here to read it. However, I do have a response and some recommendations for you, so if you are still interested, ((ping)) me below and I'll respond. Add ((ping|Mathglot))
somewhere in your message if you want to hear from me. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 19:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
