Sorry

... for reverting you, but English and Science fiction are considered common terms that don't need links. If you see a little star above an article, be extra careful with changes: people thought a lot about such articles of high quality. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:00, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Syrian civil war, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kurdish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Well-intended but reckless editing

Please familiarize yourself with the relevant parts of the Wikipedia Manual of Style before "correcting" any more image captions, and please tread carefully if arbitrarily changing the wording of statements about subject matter with which you may not be intimately familiar.

I have recently spent a significant chunk of my time repairing some damage you did, however unintentionally, to the History of photography article, and I would much rather have devoted it to making forward progress in improving that and other articles.

Captions can be, and usually are, written in "headline" language, with dropped articles and other features that would be considered very bad grammar within the body of an article. Like items in a list, statements which are not complete sentences should not have a period at the end unless a complete sentence immediately follows. The meaning of a bare date will be perfectly clear to the reader in most circumstances; putting "taken in" in front of it does nothing but make the caption longer, which may cause the text to spill over into an unsightly additional short line as it appears under the image.

In a description of the joint efforts of Niépce and Daguerre, you changed "in partnership" to "working together" without explanation (BTW, please state your reasons for such changes in the edit summaries), one of the things I reverted. The text in articles has often been thoughtfully crafted by knowledgeable people who have considered their word choices very carefully. In this instance, your change suggests you are unaware that the two men were, in fact, partners—they had a multi-page legal written partnership agreement, which has been widely reproduced in print sources on the subject and is readily available online.

If you like to do clean-up work, you will be a most welcome addition to the editing community here, because there is no shortage of typos, garden-variety grammar and spelling errors, and other such embarrassing blight to be attended to; my criticism is not meant to dampen your valuable enthusiasm, only to redirect it. 66.81.223.189 (talk) 12:36, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
