A welcome and a caution[edit]

Hello Thegetch1996. It appears that you are new to Wikipedia and as such, I would like to welcome you. At the same time, I have looked at the edits you have done so far, and have undone everyone of them. I'm sure your edits were done in good faith and that you are in fact trying to improve the project overall, but due to your inexperience and lack of knowledge in proper wiki formatting, referencing, etc., your contributions are not beneficial but rather detrimental. Additionally, it doesn't seem as if you have a very strong command of English grammar since you are adding and removing commas willy-nilly and adding other types of grammatical errors. I encourage you to peruse the Wikipedia Manual of Style - WP:MOS before continuing to contribute to the pages of your interest. I'm sure that before long, you will become a valuable part of this project, but in the meantime, you haven't done the preliminary work in familiarizing yourself with how to do this correctly and therefore you are adding work to other editors, who have to undo your mistakes. Please feel free to reach out should you have any questions or need help with anything, I'm always happy to assist a new user. I hope you don't take my words as being overly harsh, my attempt is to be constructive. All the best, Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 06:16, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
