January 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Fuzheado. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Space Ghost Coast to Coast—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Fuzheado | Talk 04:53, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fuzheado - Hello. I'm sorry you felt my edit wasn't constructive. I made minor (mostly aesthetic) changes, like reorganizing sentences in ways that seemed better and removing words that seemed unnecessary, so on, with the intent to improve the article nonetheless. (The article has a template message at the top saying it could use cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards, and that there are many grammar errors, which I was hoping my edit could help with even if only slightly.)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Coconuts, Plenty of Junk Food, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 20:08, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kepler-1229b - Hello. I apologize for not stating my reason(s) for removing certain sentences and pieces from the article. I did so because when I checked certain citations/references, I didn't see the information being attributed to it anywhere in the reference, so the information seemed unverified, or unfitting for the article. Some citations I removed from one part of the article and placed at a more appropriate or more relevant part of the article. I also added information that was not previously there. I edited the article with the intent to add content, not just to remove. To my knowledge I did not remove any templates from the page. Only clarifying, but I will fill out the edit summary if I make a similar edit in the future. Francis Sloane (talk) 20:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
