Question from Muhammed Anas N M (10:47, 17 July 2024)

There are many wrong information abailable the wikipedia platform which are widely monitored by themselves. Whenever someone correct those edits they are keeping an eye to unbring the changes in to the page. What is to be done in those circumstances? --Muhammed Anas N M (talk) 10:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. If I am correct, yes we do undo unconstructive edits on Wikipedia. However, if a constructive edit is reverted (often in good faith), please check over your edit and make sure it is sourced, has a edit summary and follows Wikipedia guidelines regarding style (WP:MOS) and discuss it on the talkpage.

Question from Principe Mejia II (00:11, 26 July 2024)

Si la percupacion es mi User name puede ser de otra manera, pero mi pocion es que es lamentable que un gobierno en todo lo que su ciudad #2 #3 no puedan estar. Osea los paises por porvincia y caba una gorbernntes diferentes.

If the concern is my User name it may be otherwise, but my point is that it is regrettable that a government in everything that its city #2 #3 cannot be. That is to say, the countries by province and caba a different governing body.

Se a percupação for o meu nome de utilizador poderia ser de outra forma, mas a minha opinião é que é uma pena que um governo em tudo o que a sua cidade #2 #3 não possa ser. Quer dizer, os países por província e havia governantes diferentes --Principe Mejia II (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
