Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Tacyarg (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Please read MOS:OVERLINK

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I appreciate you trying to improve the article Mitchell Hamline School of Law by adding wikilinks. However, before continuing your work, please read over MOS:OVERLINK. In short, everyday words, occupations, and subjects that most readers would be familiar with should not be wikilinked. For example, in your recent edits, you wikilinked the terms "institute" and "religious." Both are common words that should not be wikilinked. In addition, please be careful that what when you do add a link, the link goes to the correct article. For example, you wikilinked the term "Indian" but you linked it to "India", when the reference was to the word in a Native American context. Thank you. Aoi (青い) (talk) 22:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you i'd take closer note Starheroine (talk) 22:18, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Please review it more closely and stop adding links that aren't necessary or helpful for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 22:21, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Please stop editing grammar and punctuation

Hi! I'm a Guild of Copy Editors member who pokes around for random articles to improve. I came across some of your recent edits, and I've grown very concerned. You sometimes have had some effective edits, but unfortunately your changes more frequently worsen the text than improve it. A lot of it is completely understandable, as you seem to be picking grammatical examples where English is at its most complex!

For example, when a sentence refers to "multiple locations" we would choose the verb form "house" to correspond to that plurality of subjects, instead of "houses" like we would for a single location. This was an error you made in one of the instances I've reverted.

Some of your other errors, though, are just putting commas where they don't belong or, as you've already responded to on this talk page, overlinking. Your edit summaries themselves include some basic errors: the spelling is "grammar" not grammer, and "editing" not editting. I'm sure you can understand that, when you are making errors like these, it is somewhat disruptive for you to make tons of small changes to text written by others which has, much of the time, already been correct before you edit it.

I am sure you have good intentions, but now that you're getting input from concerned editors like me, I'd ask you to slow down and focus on the choices you're making, so as not to edit disruptively and cause unnecessary work cleaning up these mistakes. I noticed you are picking a lot of varied and interesting articles, many of which I would never have stumbled across if I hadn't checked into this issue- thanks, because I've learned more from these topics and tried to do a full copyedit on each article as I go!

Maybe, since you have this great drive to contribute across so many topics, you could focus for awhile on adding sources where those are tagged as needed? I noticed that you seem to have a good grasp on the citation formats here, which I'm still a bit intimidated by learning, so good on you! So many articles, including many of those you've been doing these edits on, have been tagged for years as needing more sources, so that could be a great contribution as you get familiar with the really extensive Manual of Style.

I have been a copyeditor for more than 20 years now, so I'm always available if you have questions or want to ping me about turns of phrase or grammatical constructions you find confusing, or even just to weigh in on anything in general. I hope you will consider my request though, and avoid changing little grammatical or punctuation details that seem "wrong" to you without consulting others first, because (other than oxford commas and removing errant spaces) your recent edits in this realm have very often been *incorrect interpretations* of fringe English use cases. Thanks, and hope you can take this in the best possible intention, as I'm confident you are just trying to improve the encyclopedia! ☺️ Cheers. Chiselinccc (talk) 08:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd take this with good heart. Starheroine (talk) 12:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
