Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 15:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

A quick note

You've had a number of edits reverted in the past few days as being redundant, unhelpful or otherwise unnecessary. While it's OK to be bold and do this, please consider discussing similar edits on the talk page first and gaining consensus, before inserting them into the article proper. It will save everyone a lot of time and energy while you're getting the hang of editing. Thanks. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 21:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

This is an example of an unnecessary, redundant edit. Please stop adding characteristics to the ledes of firearms articles that are already directly implied by the existence of other characteristics. For example, all assault rifles are inherently select-fire and magazine-fed, as that is part of the definition of the term assault rifle; therefore it's redundant to list the AK-47 as a "select-fire, magazine-fed assault rifle." ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 17:41, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Give Me Suggestions

Are there ways to reduce redundancy?

Any articles with at least one issue?

Can I Be Bold?

How to report vandalism? Beluga732 (talk) 13:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

1) don't add new redundancy. 2) Lots of them, but I'm less concerned with finding existing redundancies than I am with preventing you from creating new ones 3) yes, but repeatedly making the same mistake is not being bold; 4) please consider reading up more on Wikipedia's rules on vandalism, which explain how to do this. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 15:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

removing the word “peak” from the phrase “Idalia attaining peak Category 4 intensity and making landfall early on August 30” - is that reducing redundancy Beluga732 (talk) 19:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

no, because peak intensity and intensity are two different things. Taking away that word changes the meaning of the sentence. Taking away a redundant word does not. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 01:36, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
