Thanks for picking up on my spelling mistakes. But just so you know, both southwest and south-west are correct. Same as An historic. Masterhatch (talk) 14:10, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello thank you for appreciating my effort, I don't intend any conflict, i just want to help. I want to explain that, If you use this word as a noun you don't put hyphen to it, except when you use it as an adjective, that is why I removed it because it is a noun as in your created article. And also you put the article "An" when the next word starts with a vowel or any specific word. That's all I know. But if you don't agree it's okay, you revert it. Thank you. DetailedDiscoverer (talk) 14:30, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

South-west in that sentence is the adjective to the noun "region". As for "an" vs "a", it goes by vowel sound, not letter. Some English dialects drop the "h" sound in some words, such as historical. Other examples where a and an get "mixed up" include "Give me an R" He gave me a one-time loan". Masterhatch (talk) 14:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it is fine with me if you have different view on grammar. I understand some of your points and it is okay with me if you want to revert it since you are also the author, I have no problem with that. Thank you so much for reaching out. God bless.

Care, please

Hallo, Thank you for editing Our Future Health, but there were a few problems.

You didn't notice the one real mistake which needed to be fixed, the missing "<" in a "<ref": you added spaces round it but that didn't help.

You changed a correct British spelling to an American spelling in "enrol" to "enroll". This is an article about a British project and has the {{Use British English}} template.

You changed the wording inside a quote: You may think there was a missing "the" in the words of this eminent scientist, but you must never change what someone says.

Commas don't belong inside links.

I then looked at your edit history and I see you do a lot of "fixed grammar" edits. But in the first one I looked at you changed "In 1884 her and her husband's last child was born" to "In 1884, she and her husband's last child was born", which is a nonsense. Please take more care over your editing. PamD 10:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I am so sorry i didn't see that coming, since sometimes british words are not in English dictionaries. But I recognize and appreciate your correction and thank you for acknowledging also my good works. It is a learning experience and I'd be more careful next time. Thank you so much. DetailedDiscoverer (talk) 11:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I See that this was another example of carelessness: you "corrected" "repewed" (ie put new pews in, or renewed the pews) to "renewed", and changed a lot of words within a quote. Another editor sorted this out. Please don't damage the encyclopedia through your carelessness: I can see that you make many useful tidying-up edits, but you just need to take a little more care to ensure that all your changes are improvements. Thanks. PamD 10:27, 12 April 2023‎

A lengthy welcome

Hi DetailedDiscoverer . Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 19:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hipal thank you for a welcome and warm words! I found kind of original research here Southwestern Advantage - Wikipedia. In working conditions section. It looks like the coworkers wrote that information and there are no sources. I didn't touch it, as it may be true. However, it doesn't look encyclopedic. What would you suggest to do? DetailedDiscoverer (talk) 13:23, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. The article is a mess, and needs to be rewritten from reliable and independent references. --Hipal (talk) 17:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
