Clarification
You have a very short contribution history, and of course there is nothing wrong with that. But well over half of your edits, so far, have been in response to edits I have made. I think other contributors could see this as a problem.
I have had contributors, in the past, who devoted their time on the wikipedia solely to my edits. This is generally seen as disruptive, and I certainly saw it as disruptive.
If your contribution history showed hundreds or thousands of good valid contributions, the relatively small number of edits you have made in response to my edits would not concern me.
Can you confirm that you and I don't have a prior history of interaction, using another wiki-ID?
My recommendation to you? If you really want to make a positive contribution to the wikipedia, find some topics you find interesting, and work to add more content to them. Lots of articles have fallen out of date, because the contributors who enjoyed creating articles, updating articles, started to feel harassed by contributors who focussed on quality control, and weren't polite about it. In my opinion, that would be a good choice for you. Focussing on a single other contributor, and following them around? Not a good choice, in my opinion. Geo Swan (talk) 12:42, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
