It is very possible that I haven't conformed to all of the specifics of how an edit is made; however correcting the spelling of months (sic) to moths, in a biography of an expert on moths cannot be said to "not appear constructive". Equally for someone to mispell the name of a long established surgical instrument named eponymously after a famous surgeon is surely NOT constructive for the good reputation of Wikipedia and for Theodor Kocher himself.

CLCStudent has been cautioned more than once about over-warning. In this instance, very clear that your months to moths was correct, and has since been restored by another editor. P.S. Type four of ~ (not ≈) after you end your comments and that will 'sign' your User name. David notMD (talk) 16:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Applying one's own expertise

I hope you find ways to bring your own expertise to improving Wikipedia. I began dabbling when I was active as a consultant to dietary supplement companies. I expected that they might compare my reports on the efficacy of plant-derived supplements to what existed in Wikipedia, so I got in the habit of 'fixing' Wikipedia first, meaning making sure that the articles referenced good, recent meta-analyses, systematic reviews and reviews rather than in vitro, animal studies and cherry-picking favorable clinical trials. I had hoped that none of my clients would look at View history to see what recent changes had been made to the article, nor suspect that I was David notMD. My worries no longer apply now that I am retired. David notMD (talk) 10:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
