your edit statistics shows well what you say here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=Nkansahrexford. a typo fixed to test once a year or so. currently i cannot tell you "edit or shut up" because i am not willing to do more mobile edits than you - and this needs to change :) i am a software development person, and i know app or browser editing can be done better, especially for citing references. without taking up screen estate. given my zero contribution to wikimedia software i am not allowed to criticize too much. i only hope asaf is reading us and gets it prioritized higher at WMF *wink wink* rupert _______________________________________________ African-Wikimedians mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedians
