Thanks for sharing. I always learned in grammar that for a list of things one must use commas, but since Wikipeida allows either type of commas, I will refrain from using them so much. [[User:Splendidworld12|Splendidworld12]] ([[User talk:Splendidworld12#top|talk]]) 00:23, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Intercultural bilingual education in Guatemala (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added a link pointing to Mayan
Islamization of the Sudan region (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added a link pointing to Intermarriage

Recent edit to Natural selection

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Specifically, Charles Darwin's biography uses the British English variant, as clearly stated by the appropriate template at the top of the article. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 16:02, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for your input! I appreciate any constructive criticism.Splendidworld12 (talk) 23:16, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

anno Domini abbreviation

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions of periods to the abbreviation of anno Domini in the Abbey article have been reverted twice, per the Wikipedia manual of style, and as mentioned in the edit summaries of the editor who reverted the changes. You may want to take a look at the section that covers this: MOS:STOPS. Also, please consider using an edit summary when you make a change to an article. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edit. Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 21:56, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice! Splendidworld12 (talk) 23:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. And again, it's a big help to other editors if you accompany your edits with an edit summary. Please see here: Help:Edit summary. Eric talk 14:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm DaveSeidel. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Amanda Palmer. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DaveSeidel (talk) 16:53, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tsundoku, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Japanese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Spelling correction

Please do not correct spelling in articles that are not written in American English like you did at Ireland, Wikipedia allows articles to be written in variations of English which include differences in spelling. Have a read of WP:ENGVAR for more information. If you continue to change spellings it may be seen as disruptive so please take care, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 21:18, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry! Thanks for letting me know.Splendidworld12 (talk) 21:37, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Serial commas

Please read MOS:SERIAL. The English Wikipedia allows either style; please do not add serial commas where they are not necessary to disambiguate. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:02, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sharing. I always learned in grammar that for a list of things one must use commas, but since Wikipeida allows either type of commas, I will refrain from using them so much. Splendidworld12 (talk) 00:23, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Slow down

Please learn something about Wikipedia before you make mass changes to articles. A few caveats:

  1. Articles require ledes (WP:LEDE)
  2. The serial comma is not required (WP:COMMA, WP:MOS)
  3. Redlinked terms are those that could potentially become articles; do not remove redlinks unless they are to trivial terms that would never become articles. (WP:REDLINK)
  4. Punctuation, grammar, and style are governed by the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Please read and heed.
