Gilbert and Sullivan

Hello, and thanks for your contributions to the G&S articles. Did you do a Lexis search to find the legal citations? If you are a G&S fan, you might wish to join WP:G&S. One tip: When you add citations, put the citation after the punctuation like so: Here is a sentence.<ref>This citation goes after the period.</ref> Let me know if you have any questions. I'm going to guess that you are a lawyer who has been associated with (or is a fan of) The Washington Savoyards.  :-) Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Credible author

Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner. Can you help your fellow InternetHero?? InternetHero (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

"Comma after full date"

Re: your edit to ENIAC. This style choice seems unwieldy and, for my money, ungrammatical. Is there a guideline on Wikipedia mandating this usage? Robert K S (talk) 17:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

BTW you might also want to note that dates are not displayed the same for all users. Depending on your personal settings, you may see the sentence rendered as "ENIAC was shut down on 1946-11-09 for a refurbishment and a memory upgrade..."--this is how I prefer full dates to be displayed. In this instance it is clearer that the comma does not belong. Robert K S (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Based on your response, I'm not sure that it's clear to you that the format of date display is adaptive to the individual user on Wikipedia. Therefore usage of a comma after a date in Wikipedia cannot always be correct, even were it to be correct under certain display settings. (I happen to disagree with that paragraph 10 you pointed out.) Robert K S (talk) 18:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
