Happy editing! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

River articles

With regret, I had to revert your edit to River Ouse because all other River articles use that style, even the more silly case of River Avon. You would need to open a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography to get the practice changed. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

November 2021

It is completely unacceptable to delete other editors' contributions, as you did with this edit at Talk:River Great Ouse. If you repeat such behaviour, you may expect to lose editing privileges. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the correct way to respond?

I'm relatively new to this and apologies for the delete, it certainly wasn't deliberate. I will make sure I don't do anything like that again.

Please accept my apologies for my over-reaction. Given that you are new, I should have suspected a cock-up rather than assumed a conspiracy. I hope I haven't discouraged you from continuing to contribute to Wikipedia. Please don't worry about making mistakes (some of us are still making them! <blush>), we've all learned that way. Most(!) of your fellow editors will wp:assume good faith and just correct the mistake: if you wp:watch the articles that you edit, you will see how the correction was done. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:43, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
