Hello {{ping|Rebecca_Beecham_Gotzl}} why the reversion? I do not know if English is your native language but much of the grammar in this article looks like a translation from the Spanish where many areas need improvement. Reverting seems a little drastic, Borders is the plural of Border and as the area meets the Portuguese border, it is normal to say it borders Portugal, Not it border portugal. I could go on but you reverted quite a few changes for no apparent reason. [[User:Avi8tor|Avi8tor]] ([[User talk:Avi8tor|talk]]) 06:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Avi8tor}},
:I won't ask about your nationality, as Wikipedia policy does not favour personal aspersions in editing discussions. The text is the text, and anyone can edit. If I were Norwegian, for example, I would still be entitled to edit this article. I invite you to retract your personal aspersion regarding my native language.
:I came to this article to improve some wikilinks of place names, which are sometimes missed because of differences between Galician and Spanish. This article, like many in Wikipedia, could have more improvements made to it, IF one has the time to spare away from bigger projects. Neither of us fixed all its copyedit problems.
:Many of your edits did not actually tackle grammar, and were made “for no apparent reason” and without explanation. Most importantly, nonetheless, they were not, in my opinion, actually improvements. I will cite two examples.
:The subject of the clause containing “border” is “rias”, which is plural. (“Area”, which you mentioned, appears nowhere in the sentence.) Therefore the verb in agreement should also be plural, i.e. “border”.
:A different problem in your editing is the arbitrary deletion of words, without grammatical motivation, e.g. “still” in the section headed “Fishing and Seafood”. The emphasis provided by this adverb is entirely consistent with the meaning of the paragraph, and its deletion robs the sentence of a little of its point. That was not an improvement.
