Communication with other editors

As Wikipedia is a collaborative project, it is vital that editors show their willingness to communicate with other editors. This is done through talk pages of articles and editors and through edit summaries. You are obviously not communicating and I am the third editor whose comments here you've simply blanked. I'm now asking you to start using edit summaries and to respond to posts here and elsewhere (I note that you were asked to comment on an article talk page but didn't do so). I've no reason to think that you can't be a valuable editor except for this failure to communicate (eg it would have been reassuring if you'd read MOS:CAPS and said that you understood why I reverted your edits). But if you don't want to communicate then perhaps you don't belong here. I hope that's not the case. I'll probably block you if you carry on not communicating, and hopefully that won't happen. Dougweller (talk) 05:26, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for that, I usually don't leave my talk page full, and I do want to be a good-standing member of the Wiki community. Thanks for putting my head on straight Doug! :) Senjuto (talk) 10:22, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

I apologize for that, I usually don't leave my talk page full, and I do want to be a good-standing member of the Wiki community. Thanks for putting my head on straight Doug! And I have come to agree with you on the Matter of MOS CAPS. Also, I am someone who likes correcting grammatical typos that pop up. :) Senjuto (talk) 10:24, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, good response and much appreciated. It took me a while to figure the way we handle this (and other things). I can see that you like grammatical stuff. You might want some links somewhere on various useful guidelines. I keep stuff like that on my user page. Dougweller (talk) 15:00, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice Doug. Definitely would be helpful. Where would you suggest I find links for various useful guidelines Senjuto (talk) 11:18, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What you can do is take the stuff I just added above and move it to your userpage if you don't want it here. Then start editing it to match your interests and needs. That's how I started (before I became an Admin, most of the stuff on my discussion page is from an Admin 'dashboard' - and what isn't there and on my talk page is basically pinched from other editors).

Byzantine Emperors Infobox

Wanted to let anyone know that I made some edits of the inboxs of a few Byzantine Emperors to bring them in line with the rest. Someone changed the Palaiologos emperors from Andronikos II to Manuel II by changing them to the royalty infobox. The rest of the Byzantine emperors have the monarch infobox and its best to have them all uniform in appearance, if that is alright.

But if you want to have them reversed, I have no problem, as long as all of the Byzantine emperors from Arcadius to Constantine XI has the same infobox format. Senjuto 15:33, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

"favorable" vs. "favourable" and so forth

We don't change existing spelling in regards to American/British preferences, simply because that would lead to endless back-and-forth editing, per WP:RETAIN. Whatever the first person to write it used, we stick with that. It's not a big deal or anything, just letting you know. Cheers and happpy Wiki'ing, Herostratus (talk) 18:19, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unclear

... what you're attempting to do in this series of edits:[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and so on, if I had time to list them all.

It looks to me as if you're just retyping what's already there. All these articles are showing up on my watchlist that I then need to go check, since you're not leaving edit summaries. Please leave edit summaries that explain what you think you've been correcting. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for not clarifying. I edited it to reduce the spaces between sentences. Senjuto 17:30, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

You mean there were two spaces between the sentences instead of one? OK, then say that in the edit summary, and just delete the extra space. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Understood and duly noted Cynwolfe. Senjuto 17:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Good edit summaries can save a lot of time and trouble. Dougweller (talk) 19:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are also on my watchlist, and I struggled to figure out the edits until coming here. I note that the Manual of Style claims that the number of spaces is irrelevant to Wikipedia markup (although I'm not sure this is true). But it also states no preference for one style over another, and this being the case, I think that it would be better not to edit all of these articles to make them conform to a preferred style. If the Manual of Style doesn't clearly indicate that a certain format should be used, editors shouldn't attempt to enforce one over another. P Aculeius (talk) 04:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you still doing this? The manual of style does not prefer one space over two, and you aren't making any other changes. It's not only a waste of time, but unilaterally substituting your preferences for that of the articles' authors. I don't see how this is helpful to anyone. P Aculeius (talk) 04:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to substitute someone's preference with my own. And I do not take credit for the content of the pages that I edit. It is not to irritate or annoy others. And I admit that only a few have grammatical errors in them that I correct. And I am saying this to you that you can undo what I did if you wish and I have mentioned it in some of my edit summaries. Senjuto 13:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Extra spaces

Thank you for all your efforts to remove extra spaces between sentences, but it is unnecessary to do this. WP will automatically show only one space after a period (and in general, I believe), regardless of how many are entered. Try previewing a test edit with multiple spaces inserted and you will see. Hertz1888 (talk) 15:07, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Understood Hertz. Duly noted and burned to memory :) Senjuto (talk) 15:08, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But you are still doing it. A quick look at your edit summary shows that almost all of your recent edits are (removed extra spaces between sentences).
Although Wikipedia's servers are vast, carrying out numerous unnecessary edits, does take up space and at times of high usage, slows everybody's access down. As explained above, you are wasting your time doing this, as it doesn't affect what is seen. Removing the extra spaces can make editing more difficult, as the double spaces make reading the edit screen easier, and causes extra work for editors who have the pages that you change on their watchlists, and so check to see what changes have actually been made. Please stop. Arjayay (talk) 09:10, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will stop then. And only correct grammatical errors that are in American English only. And thank you for the clarification of double spaces in regards to edits. Senjuto (talk) 13:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - there are lots of grammar mistakes out there and even more misspellings. I'm a gnome who searches using Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings - this avoids the problems of UK/US spelling differences, as the list only includes words that are wrong in all forms of English. Whilst correcting the spellings, I also find and correct a lot of grammar errors, as people with poor spelling often have poor grammar as well.

Rumplestiltskin on the Once Upon a Time articles

I'm entirely grateful that you've corrected some grammar on two of the Once Upon a Time articles; I'm usually editing from a NOOK so I don't see them. But I'd like to point out that in the series, Rumplestiltskin is actually the correct spelling as proven by in-episode text and what-not. You don't seem like you're going to edit the articles again, but I'd like to give you a heads up if you're ever going around correcting the spelling of Rumpelstiltskin again. Keep up the good work and thanks again! ~Cheers, Ten Ton Parasol 21:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome :) --Senjuto 01:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ernest A. Love Field may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 05:55, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
