Please take some time to familiarise with Wikipedia before you make large scale changes as you have done. Until then, please use the article talk pages to seek consensus for the change you want to make. So far, I have had to revert every article where you bashed in an irrelevant template. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 17:15, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for citing the material you added to acute accent. When you name a citation, the style 'name=":0"' has fallen from favour because it makes long articles difficult to maintain (:0, :1, :2, :3, :4 etc rapidly gets confusing). So it would be best if you would use mnemonic names like 'name="kreska"' or even 'name="Smith, Jones (2004)"' (see WP:CLUTTER in WP:Citing sources. Don't worry about making mistakes, especially ones as subjective as this (there is no policy that says so), we all learn from our mistakes. I recommend that you look back at articles that you have edited, that were changed after you edited them, to understand why they needed changing. If you don't understand, ask the person who changed it to explain – most editors will be very happy to do so. So far as I can see, most of your changes have been reasonable, at least in principle. Welcome again to Wikipedia. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 17:44, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
I see you have really found your feet! Great work on accute accent. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 10:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
In the section you added, you talk about the shape and orientation of the strokes that make a letter. This calligraphic origin is important in the design of serif fonts and (I believe) especially so in Chinese and Japanese writing by brush. Many modern readers in the West are unlikely to be aware of such things, ordinary modern pens rarely have a chisel shape. Your text refers to 'strokes' and I was tempted to wlink that to letterform but that article is very much a stub. Is it one that you have the background knowledge to improve? or replace?-- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 18:07, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ü, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GBK. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
