Please slow down with the grammar fixes. Many of the "the" inserting, and some other changes you are making, lead to incorrect change of meaning. In English, not every noun needs a definite article. DMacks ( talk) 04:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Please stop adding volume=0 additions to citations, for example as you did in
this diff,
this one and possibly many more. The Journal of the Chemical Society did not use volume numbers at that time and your edits are therefore disruptive. You can check the correct citations by clicking on the doi quoted and looking to the right of the RSC page which appears. Did you not consider that a volume number of zero was a rather unlikely value?

You're also adding |issue=0
, e.g.
[2]
[3], which is surely erroneous.

Hi there! I see you've been adding the |issue=
parameter to {{
cite journal}} templates. In some edits like
this one to
Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, those templates already have the information in the |number=
parameter, which is an alias for |issue=
. Doing so displays the error More than one of |number= and |issue= specified and puts the article in
Category:CS1 errors: redundant parameter. I'm working on cleaning these up now, but please be careful in the future and use the "Show preview" button before you publish your changes. Thanks!

this edit to
Armadillo (C++ library)). Again, please use the "Show preview" button before you publish your changes to confirm that your changes are not causing errors.

Hi -- welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for all your help. I've seen you on my watchlist a lot lately, and I might recommend you start using edit summaries more consistently. It's often a harder practice for new editors to get into -- it took me a few months to get the hang of it myself -- but it's really useful to other editors who are seeing an edit on their watchlist. If they know it's just fixing a reference, they don't have to worry, but if they're not sure what the edit is, they have to check each individual edit to make sure it's not someone vandalising or otherwise making problematic changes.
