Template:Archive box collapsible .Check out at the the details - you could write an article.... Hafspajen (talk) 21:21, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Hafspajen has given you a ferret! Ferrets promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day much better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a ferret, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Haffy, Crisco, brief article created. Any idea on a title format? Self portrait (Van Gogh 1889 painting)? I'm not sure of the format used on art articles.Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 17:10, 22 February 2015 (UTC) Van Gogh self-portrait (1889) Hafspajen (talk) 20:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC) You're a star - many thanks indeed!

Another list of Somerset scheduled monuments at FLCAs you have previously commented on one or more of nominations of the lists of scheduled monuments in Somerset, I wondered if you would be kind enough to take a look at the List of scheduled monuments in Sedgemoor which is now nominated at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of scheduled monuments in Sedgemoor/archive1?— Rod talk 21:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC) MudYou'll forgive the professorial tone I hope. Your point feels like a diversion because it leads back into the age-old attacks against MOS in general. Some believe that most of MOS is stuff that a few Wikipedians made up one day to suit themselves. Some believe that MOS is an attempt to match the expectations people have of professionally copyedited prose, with a few things (such as WP:LQ) that are observed by a minority outside Wikipedia but that we thought were important enough for our own purposes to insist on. It doesn't seem like an outrageous position to me to say that if we want people to think that we're an encyclopedia, then it certainly won't hurt to look like an encyclopedia. Again, this is a really difficult point to argue because of a trick the reading mind plays on all of us; it extracts information from punctuation, but stores the meaning it extracted without storing the punctuation (in the same way). That's why it's so difficult to teach punctuation ... people's brains are insisting that they not take punctuation seriously. What makes it even harder, of course, is that punctuation rules vary a lot depending on the tone or register of the writing, and to make it worse, punctuation rules are rapidly changing. Although people's expectations concerning orthography vary a lot and the varying standards are hard to learn, it doesn't alter the fact that they do have expectations, and if we misspell a word or mis-capitalize it or use punctuation in a nonstandard way, some of those people will make judgments about the quality of our work. It's no harder to spell something right than it is to spell something wrong, and there are advantages to spelling it right. - Dank (push to talk) 21:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
The Signpost: 25 February 2015
Regarding your reversion of my edit to Kenneth HorneHello, SchroCat. I believe I addressed the concerns you expressed in my edit summary. As per the typographic conformity subsection of MOS:QUOTE, adapting the typography used within the quotation and the title of the work to that found within the rest of the article is appropriate, no? Regards, zziccardi (talk) 16:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
A copy-edit favorHello Schro! I hope you are doing good in real life. I have a copy-edit problem with which I need a little help. Can you please copy-edit "FourFiveSeconds"? One user thinks the article has a close paraphrasing issue and placed a tag on it. I hope you have time. Thanks in advance!— Tomíca(T2ME) 17:18, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
