Hi,
I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve SDG-related articles on Wikipedia. We are organising this online SDG edit-a-thon during Global Goals Week, 18-26 September 2020. Please take part in it! If you have any questions about this work, please feel free to ask your question on the event's talk page here. The event page itself is here.
Here are some pages about Wikipedia editing that you might find helpful:
- Quick introduction to Wikipedia
- Finding your way around Wikipedia for novices, including tutorial videos
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia
Please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) when you post on talk pages. This will automatically produce your username and the date. Look for the "tilde" character on your keyboard; for example on English keyboards it is to the left of the "enter" key (accessible with the "alt gr" key).- EMsmile (talk) 05:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
September 2020 edit
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Early childhood education, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 03:44, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- To be more clear: your edits at Early childhood education are appreciated, but unfortunately they added as many problems as they solved. Please get in the habit of using Preview, to make sure you haven't added broken formatting. You also introduced several errors into the text ("sensorimotor" is not the same thing as "sensory motor," and the prefix "pre" is not a typo for "per"). I've removed your changes for the time being, but those citations would be fine to re-add, if with more care.
- If I can help with anything, just let me know. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 03:44, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Every Child Matters, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 03:58, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
