Wikipedia Worksheet and Response

Wikipedia Reliability Worksheet

I clicked on a user named Transito and he said this, "To respect the work of others when I edit a page I do my best not to delete anything and move replaced content to a more appropriate section" I think that that is very polite and suprising that the user respects other users' work even if their work is inaccurate. This writer simply moves his added content somewhere else on the article. This makes my reliability decrease because it seems like this user has to correct statements quite often. For the user 222.8.85.240 I learned that he usually is a user that notcies and corrects grammar and spelling mistakes. This increases my reliability in Wikipedia because I feel like the information I am receiving is accurate and worded correctly. This grammar and spelling reliability also goes for the user 156.99.93.219 who had changes to user's language in their logs. For the very same reason as the last user I read about, this increases my reliability.
