Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2A01:119F:21D:7900:6824:852E:8D5C:1FF7) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! --Srleffler (talk) 03:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Typography

I see that you have an interest in improving typography. That's great, but you need to know about Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Like most publications, we have a defined standard that covers typography and other things, to help maintain readability and consistency between articles. A couple points where your edits conflicted with the MoS:

Superscripts

See MOS:SUPERSCRIPT. Superscripts should be formed with the <sup> HTML tags, not the Unicode superscript and subscript characters. You may be interested in the article Unicode subscripts and superscripts, which briefly discusses why Unicode super- and subscripts do not function as was originally intended when Unicode was developed.

Linked dates

See MOS:UNLINKDATES and WP:YEARLINK. Years ago it was common practice on Wikipedia to link all dates. After a long debate this practice was abandoned. The current guideline is that years should be linked to the year articles only when "the linked date or year has a significant connection to the subject of the linking article, beyond that of the date itself, so that the linking enhances the reader's understanding of the subject." A link to 1960 does not enhance the reader's understanding of Metric prefixes.

Unit symbols

See MOS:UNITSYMBOLS. In particular, "Do not use precomposed unit symbol characters." The precomposed Unicode characters like ㎓, ㎦, and ℃ are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia, nor should they be used anywhere else. Even Unicode officially discourages use of these characters. They are compatibility characters that were designed to allow for round-trip conversion with legacy encoding formats, particularly ones used for Asian languages. They are not well supported in Western fonts and are often ugly, hard to read, and not properly spaced. They also don't work well for readers using assistive devices like text to speech systems.

Your edits to Metric prefix and the associated template had too many problems to make it worth trying to fix them. Those edits have been reverted. Try making smaller changes and staying in accord with the Manual of Style, and you'll have more success. --Srleffler (talk) 03:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
