Hi there, re your recent edits at 4-HO-MET, please get in the habit of using Preview before submitting your changes, and please make sure you absolutely want to use nowiki (and understand how) before doing so. Your use of nowiki created various errors in the article. No big deal, it's been fixed, just a heads up for the future. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 16:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi there,

Thanks for letting me know, and sorry about creating work for you. These were my first significant edits to Wikipedia and I clearly didn't know what I was doing.

Re: using Preview before submitting - why do you say that? So that I don't go back and have to make several edits in a row in a short period of time? Just curious what the specific issue is there.

Re: using nowiki - hm, I can't even remember why I used nowiki, I think I probably just copied a different reference from elsewhere on Wikipedia and replaced the reference information for that citation (I had to look up what nowiki is right now, and it doesn't seem necessary at all for where I used it, so this is the only explanation for why I used it that I can think of). Sorry about that! I will be sure to be more conscientious in the future now that I know that such things can create errors in the article that I might not even be able to see myself (unless I could see them and just didn't notice them?).
