In one case, you made a change in the form "...what (is|are) a, b, and c". I suppose you had presumed that there was a subject which came before the "what", so the singular form of the verb was used. But that's not the case... the subject is "a, b, and c", so the plural form of the verb is correct. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 17:34, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

::This is a series of 3 edits you made about 1.5 days ago. Obviously there is a disagreement about "number", because the verb had been "are" and you changed the verb to "is". Sorry but I can't be more explicit. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 17:58, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

:::And that was what initially brought you to my talk page? [[User:Polar Apposite|Polar Apposite]] ([[User talk:Polar Apposite#top|talk]]) 18:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

::::Talking to you on your talk page is more or less a way of communicating in a slightly less public place. But looking this change over again, I take back my criticism. The intention of this statement was made confusing by the pre-existing content. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 20:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
