Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Spades, Indiana—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 Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Before I contributed to the article, it was a stub and unhelpful to anyone who wanted to learn a bit about this town. The reversion to its original state appears unhelpful. Could you elaborate on what you mean by non-constructive if the purpose was to bring the article out of stub status and help add knowledge to an otherwise unknown place?

@Materialscientist: It looked like a good-faith edit, although....

CreatrixInspirata, it looks to me like your edit added a large number of extraneous "<nowiki>" tags, which generally should not be used inside articles. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that has tripped me. Materialscientist (talk) 05:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of your references were formatted correctly. See Help:Referencing for beginners. I suggest creating the references in your Sandbox until you have the format right, and only then copying into the article along with the text the refs support. David notMD (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
