Thanks for your edits to EB1911
Hi SpikeShroom, I wanted to express my thanks for your edits on Page:EB1911 - Volume 01.djvu/666. I made a few more edits, including finding the missing illegible character (mu). It is visible in the high-res scans at archive.org, specifically archive.org/details/encyclopaediabri01chisrich/page/626. I use these scans from time to time to check words (and Greek & Hebrew diacritics) and for images. DivermanAU (talk) 03:22, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * You're welcome! I always like an excuse to use my TeX skills. I'll try my hand at the other pages, and I'll keep your advice in mind if I come across some ambiguous characters. SpikeShroom (talk) 03:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Series
Some volumes are part of a series, for which conventions of style have been applied uniformly across that series. Making random changes to style that break formatting of text, introduce unnecessary minor changes, interfere with transclusion of content, and use undesirable templates should not be undertaken without consultation, especially in Validated pages. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Though I apologize for diverging from the conventions of the series and accept the reversal of my edits, my changes are not random. I edit what I feel could use improvement and do so to the best of my ability thus far. Thank you for notifying me of my mistake, but I don't appreciate your condescension.

 * When you begin massively altering the formatting of others, and call it "polishing" in the edit summary, that's condescending. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I've gone through my Preferences and enabled notifications for reversals of my edits. Hopefully this will allow me to understand my errors in any future disputes before the editor-in-opposition resorts to posting impolite messages on my Discussion page.
