Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Five pillars

Hello, and thanks for the addition. Just wanted to mention that someone may revert your edit because there is an ongoing discussion about this very topic, the use of WP:5, on the talk page. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I thought it would be an uncontroversial addition; I wasn't aware of the current discussion surrounding it. Thank you for bringing this to my notice. mwwv(converse) 16:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Yes, it does seem an obvious addition. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect “correction” to en dash

Hi,

I have reverted your article text edits to dot-matrix display, which while I am sure they were in good faith, were absolutely incorrect. Unfortunately I am unable to revert the article title from the move you performed, since the redirect prevents moving back. This will require assistance to fix.

At Talk:Dot–matrix display#En dash vs hyphen in title I wrote a full explanation, including relevant examples from the very MOS you cited, of why an en dash is incorrect in this instance.

Regards, — tooki (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Oops. I'll tag the redirect for speedy deletion and make the move. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 14:30, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
