Hello, and '''''[[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|welcome]] to Wikipedia!'''''
 
Someone using this [[IP address]], 76.189.141.88, has made edits&nbsp;to [[:Espionage Agent]] which do not conform to our policies and therefore have been [[Help:Reverting|reverted]]. For more information on this, see [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|Wikipedia's policies on vandalism]] and [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|limits on acceptable additions]]. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup&campaign=anonwelcometemplate}} getting a username]</span> to avoid confusion with other editors.
 
You don't have to [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|benefits]]. Without a username, your [[IP address]] is used to identify you.
 
Some good links for newcomers are:
*[[Help:Contents|Help contents]] – the main help page.

== Comment ==
 
Hello. I noticed that you do a lot of copy-editing and fixing, but unfortunately happened to clash with other editors and edit war with them. Please note that when someone reverts a change you made, it is recommended to discuss the issue on the relevant article's talk page before restoring the edit. Also, perhaps I could suggest looking at the category [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit]] which contains articles specifically tagged as needing copy-editing and fixes. We also have a related Wikiproject, [[WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors]] which perhaps may interest you. Moreover, it may not be productive to make unblock requests for such a short block delay. What's so urgent? It may be a good opportunity to read some of the links provided in the previous welcome message you have received. Hopefully once the short block expires your editing experience will be more successful. Thanks, —<span style="color:#092;background:#444;font-family:mono,sans;font-weight:bold;font-size:small;">░][[User:PaleoNeonate|<span style="color:#1e6;">PaleoNeonate</span>]]█&nbsp;⏎&nbsp;?[[User_talk:PaleoNeonate|<span style="color:#0d5;">ERROR</span>]]░</span> 03:04, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 
==Recent edit to Machaca==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello. I noticed that you recently made a contribution to the [[Machaca]] article that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse readers. If you want more practice editing, the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! [[User:Hume42|Hume42]] ([[User talk:Hume42|talk]]) 04:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 
== Notes on edits ==
 
Hi {{u|76.189.141.88}}, coul;d you please take heed of the following couple of points: a) don't remove convert templates from articles, they are almost universally preferred to either manual or absence of conversion; b) IUCN classifications are properly capitalized ("Endangered"). Cheers. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 20:09, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 
== Clades are singular ==
 
{{u|76.189.141.88}}, would you please stop trying to change the grammatical number of clades (families etc.) to plural, as you did in e.g. [[Scarabaeoidea]]? Clades are always treated as singular. - To be frank, you don't know nearly as much about grammar as you assume you do, especially not in specialist subject areas. I and other editors have undone a large number of your edits, and you are doing more harm than good. You have already be warned about this, Please take heed. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 11:21, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
:Be a darling and reply here (if you do) so the conversation doesn't become fragemented, yes? - I am well aware that the clade names are in plural form, however they are descriptive of singular entities (taht is, clades). Correct usage is "Felidae <b>is</b> a family", not "<b>are</b>". Regardless of your high dudgeon on the matter, this is what is in use on Wikipedia, and any unilateral crusade will, if it becomes sufficiently disruptive, only result in you being blocked. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 18:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 
:Further to that. It appears that the issue has been discussed in the past, and my stance is not generally accepted on WP. However, neither is the alternative. In such a case, the choice lies with the originator of the text, and shouldn't be altered subsequently without compelling reason. (This is equivalent to the handling of British vs American spelling; see [[MOS:RETAIN]]) Therefore, please stop changing singular use into plural in existing articles. I have reverted recent instances. For previous discussion, see this item at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Formatting_issue_2_-_plural_taxa|Talk:Tree of Life]], and this at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Plants#Singular_and_plural_with_the_names_of_taxa|Wikiproject Plants]]. --<span style="font-family:Courier">[[User:Elmidae|Elmidae]]</span> <small>([[User talk:Elmidae|talk]] · [[Special:contributions/Elmidae|contribs]])</small> 21:12, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

== Spelling numbers ==
 
Just a small note: In most cases it is entirely correct to change numbers from "1 to 9" to words "one to nine" (per [[MOS:NUMBERS]]). However, when there are comparable quantities, they're either all spelled as words or all written as figures. There were "five to twenty dogs" or "5 to 20 dogs" are both correct, but "five to 20 dogs" isn't (per [[WP:NUMNOTES]]).

=== Jack Webb, etc. ===
Thank you for your excellent edits to [[Jack Webb]]. I see that you (or, perhaps, multiple individuals who use the same [[IP address]]) have been editing Wikipedia extensively (at least 500 edits just since November 6, 2017). As another Wikipedian suggested in the Welcome message above, I hope you will consider registering for an account on Wikipedia, which will identify your edits with a unique username. That will enable you to get credit for your improvements to Wikipedia. Most registered editors choose a username that does not reveal their real-world identity. Regardless of whether you choose to register, thank you for helping Wikipedia, and best wishes for a happy Holiday Season and New Year (I know, those terms really should be [[Letter case|lower case]]). Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way.—[[User talk:Finell|Finell]] 23:47, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

===Edit Summaries===
You were already notified about this last month. In that time, you've made approx. 500 edits, but have only added about 7 edit summaries. If you wish to contribute, than do so according to the guidelines. Try to add an edit summary to every edit. Otherwise you are just creating more work for other editors, which can lead to ill will. The editing guidelines are clearly spelled out via the links in the 'welcome' template above, please read them and abide by them. Thanks you. - <span style="text-shadow:#E05FFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">''[[User: Thewolfchild|<sup>the</sup>'''<big><em style="font-family:Matisse itc;color:red">WOLF</em></big>'''<small>child</small>]]''</span> 03:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 
==Changing the sense with copy-editing==
 
I know that many Wikignomes like to make many minor edits, and to remain as anonymous IPs while doing so. However, even copy-editing comes with responsibility, one of them being to take great care not to alter the sense. However, at [[Housefly]], you just replaced "for these reasons" with "so" - sounds innocent enough, eh? But you didn't spot that "these", plural obviously, referred to the past few sentences, whereas your "so" seemed to connect only to the sentence it was in, something different entirely.
