Pending changes
I see that you have recently been granted Pending Changes Reviewer permissions. Please don't even accept edits that add unsourced material to BLPs as you did at Joe Swash; I added Pending Changes protection precisely to prevent the type of edit you accepted. -- Ponyobons mots 22:48, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I'm still getting the hang of this. It didn't look harmful, so I let it go by. It won't happen again. Constant314 (talk) 00:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- You might have added a citation The content you approved was accurate. The choice to remove the edit after an article with the baby pictures and video was published was an unfortunate choice. https://www.hellomagazine.com/healthandbeauty/mother-and-baby/20230213164217/stacey-solomon-joe-swash-huge-surprise-baby-girl-birth/

Please use more care editing Electrical Engineering topics
From the edits you make and revert and your comments you are under- qualified to edit the technical aspects of the articles. The related Wikipedia articles tend to be dominated by content created by hobbyists, enthusiasts and other unqualified individuals citing similarly poorly qualified sources. PolychromePlatypus (talk) 21:07, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- I would be happy to discuss any specific edits or reverts that you question. Constant314 (talk) 21:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- I could, but I don't think going over details of old edits would be of any real help to you in the future. I've read enough of them to know you're not an EE so I urge you not to assume that you understand the material.
- The only thing I can tell you that might help is that almost everything that's suitable for a general audience isn't new. Be skeptical of cited sources that sound like hobbyists, or inventors, or hold that conventional wisdom about (whatever) is wrong. That and mistrust extrapolations from the simplifications used to make everything from college physics to Popular Mechanics accessible. PolychromePlatypus (talk) 21:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

- Quality rather than uantity is important in this case. 121.98.204.148 (talk) 06:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Regarding this change], it's even less subjective than that. WP:ALUM is a MOS entry specifically prescribing "aluminium" in all science-related contexts regardless of the article's general ENGVAR. DMacks (talk) 21:40, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. I reverted my revert. Constant314 (talk) 23:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- The word prescribe means "to instruct to use". Perhaps you were thinking of proscribe? Be sure to read linked items for more information. DMacks (talk) 00:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello. I think I miss your point. Constant314 (talk) 02:27, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- I cannot think how I can explain this any clearer. As the "Manual of Style]] tells us, to use "aluminium" in all science-related contexts regardless of the article's general ENGVAR. DMacks (talk) 10:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- I get that. I was having vision problems that day and when your first comment came, I just assumed that I had made a mistake and reverted myself. The point that I am missing is your discussion of prescribe and proscribe. Constant314 (talk) 12:23, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, okay that makes more sense. In my original comment, I used the word prescribe when I said what the MOS said. Based on your next edits and response here, I thought you were mis-interpretting that word and tried to figure out how you might have been mis-reading what I wrote. My best guess was the word proscribe. DMacks (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Got it. That makes sense. Have a good day! Constant314 (talk) 16:20, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

User page issue
Hi, for your information, in your user page you have a wikilink to Category:Inline cleanup templates. This makes your page appear in said category, which I assume was not intended. PRmaster1 (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Corrected. Thank-you very much. Constant314 (talk) 23:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
