Preserve at Sharp Mountain

Over the past weeks a few editors have reverted edits that you made which you have later restored. In most cases, the editors (myself included) have listed the reason for reversions in the explanation line of the edit, but I wanted to contact you to explain why your recent contributions have been reverted. Most importantly, you have recently inserted an edit which includes a private bare URL that is "members only" and not accessible to Wikipedia community. That most certainly violates Wikipedia policy and will result in another reversion. In addition, the redundant inclusion of a URL that is already referenced correctly in the "External links" section, is unnecessary. Finally, the inclusion of what are known as "bare URLs" is "”bad style” per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext#External_links" as pointed out by an editor who reverted one of your edits. It is my understanding that various bots scan Wikipedia and will eventually correct bare URLs. I hope that armed with these comments, you will correct the issues concerning the article The Preserve at Sharp Mountain, Georgia in the next week. ⁃ Firewall 21:09, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
