Thank you!

Thank you for working on the Winds of Change article, you made some good improvements! One general tip: it's is short for "it is", so if you write "...the dismantling of the British Empire reached it's climax...", that means "...the dismantling of the British Empire reached it is climax...", which doesn't quite make sense :)

Let me know if you have any questions about editing!—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 05:55, 7 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

You are plainly another IP sock of User:AnthonyCurt, displaying the same problematic editing traits as before. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

"It's" means "It is"

edit

Please stop replacing "its" with "it's" when it is being used as a possessive rather than "it is". And please read WP:MOS too. Meters (talk) 23:04, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

In relation to the post above and per discussions at User talk:AnthonyCurt, this is one of the characteristics of this editor. They have been advised and warned on numerous occasions and have never paid heed, or indeed engaged in any way about this or other problematic elements of their editing. It is wilful and disruptive, so I'd suggest treating it accordingly:
  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:35, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
It does appear that this IP is the same editor who has been repeatedly warned about MOS-violating edits. Meters (talk) 02:07, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Land reform in Zimbabwe, you may be blocked from editing. Ignoring the comments and warnings is not going to help. Meters (talk) 20:11, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Land reform in Zimbabwe. Do you really wan tot be blocked because you insist on incorrectly changing "its" to "it's" and making MOS-violating edits? Meters (talk) 20:13, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm serious. If you keep ignoring these messages and violating the MOS and making grammatical errors I will ask to have you blocked. I've undone your latest edit to History of Zimbabwe too. The plural of "country" is not "countrys". "Its" is the possessive form ("it's" is a contraction for "it is": or "it was"). Don't change the version of English spelling used in an article unless there is a strong Nation tie. Don't spell out numbers unless it it required to follow WP:MOS.
