February 2021

I've removed this edit of yours at Antisemitism in Christianity, as "Philo-semitism" is not a very good choice for a see also link at the top of a section about "#Conversion of Jews"; it has an air of advocacy about it. Also, please use an edit summary when you edit; it can help avoid problems like this one, if you indeed had an intent to improve the article somehow with that edit. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:36, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Not broken

I notice you have a thing for reduced relative clauses, and have been "correcting" them by adding relative pronouns such as that, which, who. This type of construction is perfectly grammatical in English, and since every edit should improve the article in some way, and these edits do not, you should not perform them. For example, in this edit at Teenage pregnancy:

• There are additional concerns for those under the age of 15 -> ...those who are under the age of 15

Likewise, when talking about the topic collectively, the singular pregnancy is used, and it is not necessary to pluralize it, as you did here:

• Teenage pregnancy in developing countries often occurs within marriage and half are planned. -> Teenage pregnancies in developing countries often occur within marriages...
• However, in these societies, early pregnancy may combine with malnutrition and poor health care to cause medical problems. -> ...early pregnancies may combine...

I've reverted these changes. Likewise, in Legitimacy (family law), you made the following changes:

• Legitimacy... is the status of a child born to parents who are legally married to each other -> ...is the status of a child who is born to parents...
• the status of a child born outside marriage -> the status of a child who is born outside marriage

or this case at the same article, where you changed talking about something in the abstract, to more concrete:

• The prefix "Fitz-", added to a surname (e.g., FitzRoy), sometimes denoted -> When the prefix "Fitz-" was added to a surname (e.g., FitzRoy), it sometimes denoted

These are not improvements to this article; I've reverted them. Please make sure each of your edits improves the article in some way, and remember, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Another similar one at this edit at Russian Imperial Movement. In addition, besides not being an improvement, it was also a direct quotation from the source within double quotation marks, which may never be altered. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
