Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Earth radius, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sksatsuma (talk) 20:58, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sksatsuma,

I do not understand how to write an edit summary, so this is what happened. I was looking at this article about the Earth's radius, and I saw a grammatical error when it said "Earth radius", because I think it was supposed to read "Earth's radius". This is why I edited it. But when I was editing it, I think I accidentally deleted the word "Earth" and published it, and when I went back to look at the article to see if it read what I intended it to be ("Earth's radius"), I found that it just read "radius". I then went back to the publishing page and added "Earth's" to it, but when I went back to the article to see my changes, I found this letter, and it just read "Earth radius", so somehow nothing got deleted or added. I am very sorry about this misunderstanding, and I assure you that I did not attempt to vandalize anything, and just wanted to correct a grammatical error. Because of this, I will look at the edits that I have made before I publish it to ensure that this will never happen again. 72.49.4.73 (talk) 21:16, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay! Thanks for the response, I undid your revision, but left this notice just in case it was a mistake or possible vandalism.

Don't be afraid to edit in future though! Just double check your revisions before posting :) WP:BB Sksatsuma (talk) 21:18, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
