Promoting positive changes in adolescents

I think the section on "Promoting positive changes in adolescents" could've given more information on youth interventions and what types are available. This section focuses on how youth are very susceptible to drug use and peer pressure, but this section should also provide the positive effects of adolescents and programs that can help adolescents. 18:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)~ Avenkolline (talk) 18:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse of Administration

Dude, what's your problem? You keep reverting my edits, as if your edit were perfect, but if you analyze your edit you will see that it is full of errors, disconnects and impressions, including missing sources in some contexts of your edit, including on the page about "Cognitive Development", in addition to inaccurate information at the beginning of the article where it says that "Some definitions start as early as 10 and end as late as 30." which is not true at all because the maximum age limit for adolescence is 25 years in all scientific articles, and besides, no scientific article defines adolescence as from 10 to 30 years. In "theoretical perspectives" you even mention artificial intelligence, something that has nothing to do with adolescence, there are several paragraphs without any connection and not even connections. Dude, get real, if you think I'm here to fight over edits, you're very wrong, I'm here to help correct the errors and inaccuracies contained in your edit. What you are doing is taking advantage of your administrator power to create inaccurate and decontextualized articles, and in your opinion, that is perfect. It does not seem that as a Wikipedia administrator you are willing to contribute to an accurate, consistent and informative Wikipedia, but rather to create edit disputes. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is becoming an embarrassment because of administrators of this type. Wiki7Hell (talk) 19:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:CONSENSUS. As of yet, you don't have one to make the edits you are proposing. This article has a long history of disruptive editors arguing over age definitions, which is why there is more scrutiny around the sorts of large edits you've made. Please consider following the instructions at Wikipedia:Edit_requests and starting with a few sentences or a paragraph. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 11:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
