I have to apologize
Sorry,
My bad on Connie Mulder, I was just looking at where and what they changed, and then looked at the whole sentence. Are you sure that is what the name is supposed to be?
Apologize again,

- @Me Da Wikipedian Could we discuss this here? Thx. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Myrealnamm, don't worry too much about this, please, but Me Da Wikipedian had received enough warnings for this to lead to an edit warring block, and your message here may well have come at a good time. To answer your question, why don't you have a look at the source provided directly after the disputed material? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I will put my head down in shame (at myself). I should have known that English in the middle of a German name shouldn't exist. I just used Google Translate and found out "van die" means "of the", not something die. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Myrealnamm, this is probably Afrikaans rather than German, but they're similar. Afrikaans is more similar to Dutch than to German, but Dutch is pretty similar to German indeed. All good, no worries. I rarely, rarely take any other action than curiously asking what's happening in such cases; it's only the history of warnings about similar patrolling issues that led to a block. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Since you're here...
Could you please review history for Shōgun (novel)? Direct link: Shōgun (novel): Revision history - Wikipedia Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I've had a look. Hm. Is there something specific you're referring to? 174.34.200.37's edits perhaps? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah. I mean, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, but rewording? Is it necessary? I'm just not sure. I mainly just revert edits and copyedit. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Unnecessary rewording, especially when done in many articles at the same time, can be disruptive. However, looking at the comma duplication removed in Special:Diff/1219473362, the article does seem to have had a need for at least basic copyediting, so I personally wouldn't complain. Also, this appears to be limited to one article at the moment, and that article has three maintenance tags at the top. Each of them adds the article to a maintenance category and invites newcomers, for example through the Task Center and the community portal, to fix issues. As long as the maintenance tags remain at the top of the article, such edits will come more-or-less automatically. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
