Reformatting chronology articles
changeI noticed that you have been reformatting articles like 2011, indenting events that happened on the same day under a single link to the day. I don't necessarily think this is bad, but this kind of change should be discussed before being made. Please stop these changes for now, and start a discussion at WP:Simple talk to be sure everyone knows what you're doing and that no one objects. Thank you. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

changeWe like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but "Russian interference in the 2018 United States elections" was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Auntof6 (talk) 07:19, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Your additions to articles
changeHi, AdmiralNelson. I have just been undoing some of your edits because they weren't written in good simple English. In fact, I'm sorry to say that the grammar in them wasn't good even for standard English. It's very important that articles here have good grammar. That's because our readers don't have good English skills and we want what they read here to be correctly written. It's actually harder to write simple English than to write standard English!
Because of that, I'd like to ask you to have someone check your contributions before you create articles or add text to articles. You can work in one or more sandboxes in your userspace. Let me know if you'd like help setting up a sandbox, or if you have any questions about this. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
I see that you have made some more changes. Unfortunately, the grammar in those is also not correct. Please don't use incorrect grammar in articles here. Is there some reason you don't want to use a sandbox like I suggested? If you continue adding incorrect grammar to articles, you may be blocked from editing here. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Once the block has ended you can make helpful changes. Please read Wikipedia's blocking policy and remember that adding spam, making changes that do not have a neutral point of view, making personal attacks on others, not respecting other people's privacy, and vandalizing pages are not allowed. If you do any of these things, you will be blocked again.
If you think this block is unfair, you can ask to be unblocked by adding {{Unblock|your reason here}} below. If you cannot do this or the reason is private please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. Auntof6 (talk) 00:34, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
