| == Editing pattern == | |||
| Hi! Your editing pattern is somewhat unusual for a new editor; you appear to make extensive modifications to articles, marked as minor edits without a summary. If you have previously contributed to Misplaced Pages (or continue to do so) under a different name or anonymously, would you mind describing the nature of that contribution? Thanks! ] 21:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : OK, not ''that'' new. Would you perhaps take the time to read ], ] and ], to get your editing more into line with how we editors tend to prefer to work together? ] 21:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Jack the Ripper Article == | |||
| Very impressed with your 'minor' edit! ] 16:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Sorry, I wasn't! Far from minor, too. ] 22:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Have to agree with Guy here, those edits made the article much harder to read and in places didn't make sense. ] 20:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Minor edits == | |||
| '''Please stop''' making extensive edits and marking them as minor. It disrupts the editing process and makes it difficult to respond to changes to the article. ] 03:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == ] == | |||
| Given your ability in copy editing, would you consider having a look at the ] article? ] 16:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Unhelpful edits == | |||
| You need to stop editing or you need to consult a style manual before doing so. You take out commas for no reason and you don't understand how to use a semicolon. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 19:41, 28 August 2006</small><!-- Template:Unsigned2 --> | |||
| ==Stop== | |||
| No more editing until you gain some experience in editing, please! FWIW ] 19:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC). | |||
| ::Take a look at your edits on the last few submissions you have made. When you make what you describe as "minor" edits and they alter or change meanings or context then these edits have to be considered major revisions. Read more about editing and make small changes until you gain confidence in making what are unchallenged and inconsequential edits. I do not see any major information or referencing that you employ and consequently, your edits fall into stylistic commentary which unless it furthers the main thrust of the article, is often left in place but when the edits do not do more than "nit-picking" then the potential for constant reversions will arise. There are already a number of editors and admins that are observing your "MOA" so this comment is meant to be a gentle but well-meaning admonision to observe first, follow the carpenter's motto of "measuring twice before cutting once" and you will find the Misplaced Pages experience much more gratifying and fun. Cheers ] 20:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC). | |||
| ==Your edit summaries== | |||
| It is usual to put some "useful" text in the ] box, rather than just the name of the article or <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (which is your signature for use on talk pages themselves, not edit summaries). If you use the edit summary box correctly, it will be of great assistance to your fellow editors. Thanks. -- ] (]) 20:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (spelling)
You shouldn't change Canadian spelling of words to American spelling nor should someone change American spelling to Canadian spelling . Please stop that, thank you. Green Squares (talk) 09:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- Er what is Canadian spelling? Examples please.Keith-264 (talk) 21:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
