Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 14:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You keep doing this. Please discuss, as continued violation of policy is a blockable offense. S Philbrick (Talk) 18:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes

I got what you mean, and I am trying my best to fix all these issues. Lana klsam (talk) 19:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your comments. If I copied and pasted a specific peace of information with quotation marks plus the citation

where would the problem be ? Lana klsam (talk) 19:20, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ungrammatical grammar corrections

Hello Lana klsam. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article Laptop. Some of your edits have been reverted or corrected, in part because your use of English was grammatically incorrect. If you speak a different language more fluently or require assistance, please feel free to ask for help with your proposed edits on the article's talk page. Please don't use an automated tool to alter spelling or grammar if you aren't fluent enough in English to know whether those changes are correct. There are multiple users who would be glad to help you fix grammar-related issues. To find out about other useful contributions you can make to Wikipedia which don't require absolute fluency in English, see Wikipedia:Task Center. Thanks!

From your edit summaries like "adding a comma before the coordinate conjunction", perhaps you are learning English grammar and applying your lessons to Wikipedia as practice. But an edit like this one, removing the first comma from

The first timepieces to be worn, made in the 16th century beginning in the German cities of Nuremberg and Augsburg, were transitional in size between clocks and watches.

so that it reads

The first timepieces to be worn made in the 16th century beginning in the German cities of Nuremberg and Augsburg, were transitional in size between clocks and watches.

is flatly incorrect in English. The two commas are there to mark a nonrestrictive clause, it's incorrect to remove one of them.

If you aren't yet completely fluent in English, please don't attempt to correct what you perceive as errors in the grammar and punctuation of English articles. You can focus on adding or otherwise improving content in other ways. Belbury (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Yes, you are correct, the non defining clause gives an extra information.

Thanks for your correction, and I am trying to fix it as soon as possible. Lana klsam (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay I already reverted your change back to how it was before.

Do you understand what I'm saying about it being unhelpful for you to try to correct grammar and punctuation in articles, if you're currently learning English and can't always recognise what is correct or incorrect? Belbury (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you in advance.

Yes I got it, and it was my mistake that I didn't focus on the second comma. Lana klsam (talk) 19:33, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding and removing commas from articles when you do not fully understand how commas work, or when you can't parse the sentence fluently enough to know which clauses are which. When you get this wrong, you are making articles worse.

Saying that An online school teaches students entirely, primarily online, or through the Internet is an incorrectly punctuated sentence in English. The previous wording of entirely or primarily online or through the Internet is more correct. --Belbury (talk) 09:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
