Hello, do you think you could check and correct your spelling please? Normally a few minor errors are expected but what you have written is absolutely unreadable and can't be corrected by someone else as we don't understand what you meant. If necessary use a browser like Firefox that has a built in spell checker - thanks. QU TalkQu 19:04, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Your edits
Your edits to books have to be reversed nearly every time due to them introducing inaccurate, incorrect information or being incoherent due to your poor English skills.

Take this edit as an example:

The original text is:

The attack of Pearl Harbor (or the Hawaii operation, as it was called by the Imperial General Headquarters) was a surprise military strike conducted by the Japanese navy against the US Navy on December 7 1941.

This text is complete and correct. In the context of this book, "Pearl Harbor" is referring to the attack by the Japanese in the Second World War.

You replaced this text with:

Peral harbor is an american navy base that keep many ships in war worlds I snd II Today the harbor is still a mojor navy base

Let's analyze what is wrong with this edit.


 * 1) You have misunderstood that "Pearl Harbor" means "The Attack on Pearl Harbor". It does not mean the harbor itself. So your description in total is incorrect.
 * 2) Despite the book chapter being called Pearl Harbor you have managed to spell Pearl wrong (Peral).
 * 3) harbor is a proper noun in this usage so it should be capitalized.
 * 4) american should be capitalized as it is a proper noun.
 * 5) keep is the wrong tense. It should be kept.
 * 6) Even if "keep" was replaced with "kept" the sentence would still be wrong. Harbors do not "keep" ships.
 * 7) war worlds I snd II is incoherent. You presumably meant "World War I and World War II".
 * 8) There is no full stop after "II" and there should be.
 * 9) mojor should be spelled major.

If I rewrite your sentence correcting the errors highlighting them all it would be

''Pearl Harbour is an American navy base that was used by ships during both World War I and World War II. Today the harbor is still a major navy base''

I have had to make nine corrections to just one sentence. This level of errors is unacceptable. This is just one example - I would say 80% of your edits require this degree of correction. Your work borders on vandalism and if it doesn't improve action may need to be taken to stop you editing as you are damaging the books. Please take this advice on board and consider it carefully.

 * I have answered you on my talk page. I don't believe your native language is English; even if it is your language skills are too poor to contribute effectively unless you spend more time and care on your work. This is the key point - checking your spelling is easy, but you can't seem to be bothered to do it. Your edits constitute vandalism and I will block you from editing if you do not address these concerns. QU TalkQu 18:43, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikijunior edit
Just to give some satisfaction to you regarding my rejection of the changes to the text. My option was mainly due to the "have had made" and the substitution of the previous content to "eras" (the readership is expected to be kids). The original description seems more appropriated, if added precision was intended the term should be used to indicate well established and consensual epochs, that was not the case, they are very imprecise and arguable). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 16:55, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
