Regarding a number of your recent contributions edit

Hello Aston Dotrat,

I hope you are enjoying contributing to Wikipedia.

You recently made an edit to Zeus: Master of Olympus which is a page I monitor as I tried to bring this article more in line with Wikipedia rules and guidelines (WP:RULES) not too long ago.

The summary of your changes said "text corrections", however unfortunately, these changes actually made the text less comprehensible and were for the most part grammatically incorrect.

This caused to me to notice a number of issues in your recent contribution history which I thought you might like brought to your attention:

1. You have made many changes recently which you summarize as "text corrections". However as above, the majority of these adjustments have actually made the language of the article worse and negatively changed the meaning. I have undone some of these.
Could I recommend that before making additional changes of this nature, perhaps you could discuss the changes first on the talk page of the article in question and try to get agreement from other editors? Also, do make sure to review the Manual of Style, and in particular the section about national varieties of English.
2. You have made a number of contributions to articles about islands in the South Pacific. However each time, you have not added a reliable source. Please remember that contributions to Wikipedia must be appropriately cited. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial
I have not undone these contributions, however it would be great if you could add the source for this information when possible.
3. The changes you made to Popcorn Time look a lot like advertising. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.
Adding promotional material to Wikipedia, even if unintentional, is very disruptive and seriously detracts from the quality of Wikipedia. While I try to assume good faith as per Wikipedia's guidelines, the edits you made in the context of your recent contribution history could look somewhat suspicous, so I thought I would bring this to your attention directly.

Don't forget to look at the helpful welcome message which User:Rsrikanth05 kindly left on your talk page which you will surely find very useful.

If you need any help going forward, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page.
