Vandalism?

Hello, I am a new Wikipedia editor and I had made some changes to the Ohio University page. More specifically I changed that the proctorville center was acquired by a different entity, but you marked it as vandalism, and replaced it with a rather sloppily written version with wrong information. How come?

Kind Regards,

Friedbird

Well, welcome to editing! You'll hopefully find editing to be more of a need on a case-by-case basis rather than a constant habit (as some users honestly seem to live through this site doing to subjects often foreign to them). Regarding your edit: It seems that when you were editing about Proctorville, you accidentally reverted several edits which were made to the page besides your Proctorville change. You probably did this accidentally either by using the old source code in a Word doc, and then pasting it all to make a new edit; or by making the edit while the other changes were being made, and then saving your edit, which would have reverted all the other new edits; or by keeping the edit page open for an extended time. If any of these was the case, in order to make the change you would like to make, please simply make the change again and ensure no reversions happen along with it. Thank you so much for your contributions to Wikipedia, and best wishes in your new editing journeys! Sapienna (talk) 04:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

To save you time, I just made your edit for you. Thanks again. Sapienna (talk) 05:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing that for me, I did not realize that I made those changes and I apologize for doing so. I also appreciate you helping me understand this mistake and how to avoid it in the future.

Best, Friedbird Friedbird (talk) 05:39, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
