Question from EricKugel (00:45, 3 May 2024) edit

Hello, thank you for mentoring! I recently edited the "The Michaels Companies" page with a very obvious change, and within minutes someone reverted my edit and messaged me, threatening to block me for "vandalism". Thankfully, a very nice editor stepped in and helped. My question is how the first person was able to see my edit so quickly, and why did they so quickly accuse me of vandalism when it very obviously wasn't? Was it a bot? And if so, how were they able to find an edit so quickly? Is there a feed somewhere of incoming edits, or were they just watching the page? Sorry for the deluge of questions... --EricKugel (talk) 00:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello EricKugel, and welcome to Wikipedia! Well, it seems like that editor was a problematic editor. They have since been blocked. I think that person was just reverting random edits, and your edit was one of them. Anyways, just ignore the vandalism warning; your edit was constructive and helpful. :) 141Pr -\contribs/- 10:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey Dencoolast! There is nothing inherently wrong with a C-class article, but this link gives information on how you could improve it. 141Pr -\contribs/- 16:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Hollandtanyafay (19:46, 9 May 2024) edit

How can I edit an incorrect County? Jamestown Texas is not in Newton County. It’s in Smith County. Someone changed it. --Hollandtanyafay (talk) 19:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Hollandtanyafay, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please can you provide more context? However, if you are sure that it is incorrect, you are free to edit it using the Edit button, and remember to cite reliable sources. 141Pr -\contribs/- 07:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Questions from Pygos edit

Greetings, 141Pr! I am currently having some trouble in adding organic reaction schemes onto articles, with the questions specified below:

1, I am unsure of what format to use for the reaction schemes. I am currently editing Wikipedia on a mobile device (Android). I have read the following articles:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry/Structure drawing and Molecule editor, and it seems that there are no listed chemical editing devices suitable for Android. I currently use Kingdraw to draw chemical reaction schemes. I am not sure if that is acceptable. A sample of what Kingdraw reaction schemes look like is shown below:

 

(Note:this image was taken via screenshot, I am not sure if this is acceptable for Wikipedia articles)

2, I am unsure of what copyright status should the reaction schemes from literature (like the one above) be published under. Can they be uploaded onto Wikimedia Commons, or are they considered others work and not of Public Domain even if I redraw them? From the articles that I have seen, it seems that the reaction images are all under the Creative Commons licenseship and labeled as "own work".

I highly appreciate your efforts in responding these questions above.
