Re: Numbers

Hi Baeleigh

Thanks for all your copy-edit work on Tracy Morgan; it's much appreciated. One minor issue, please note that Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS) regarding numbers (WP:NUMERAL) directs that integers zero to nine be spelled out in words. But keep up the good work, and over time you'll find that the MOS and countless other WP:… articles will guide you as to WP's standards.

Personally, I found that including the {{style}} template on my user page ensured I had quick access to much of that information if I wasn't sure where to look and it was a good ~~start~~ way to start learning the ropes. I add it here for your reference.

Disambiguation link notification for January 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ernesto Laguardia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alborada. 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.

Dashes

Per MOS:DASH, please do not use substitutes for em or en dashes, such as the combination of two hyphens (--). These were typewriter approximations. DrKiernan (talk) 07:46, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Manuals of style

There are some special rules that are part of MOS:CAPS that are in the MOS:ISMCAPS. "The adjective biblical should not be capitalized." Also, "Pronouns for deities and figures of veneration are not capitalized, even if capitalized in a religion's scriptures: Jesus addressed his followers, not Jesus addressed His followers (except in a direct quotation)." Also, MOS:NUMERO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:20, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this, please don't use double hyphens instead of a dash. That might work in some word processing programs, but not on Wikipedia or in most browsers. The relevant guideline is at MOS:DASH. Thanks! Woodroar (talk) 15:41, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Turning blue link red

In this edit you broke a link in Wikipedia by changing Nathan Ketilsson to Natan Ketilsson. (That was a red link until I made a redirect just now)

Please don't do this. The article on him is at Nathan Ketilsson, and there is at present no redirect from the "Natan" spelling, so you left the reader with a red link instead of a blue one: you damaged Wikipedia.

If you felt that the spelling "Nathan" is wrong (although it is used consistently in the article, and you only changed the one instaance of it), there are two things you could have done: "pipe" the link so that it still links to the article - [[Nathan Ketilsson|Natan Ketilsson]] - or create a redirect from the "Natan" spelling.

If you believe that the article Nathan Ketilsson should be at the title Natan Ketilsson, you could use the Request Move process to discuss moving the article to that title.

Breaking links like this is disruptive editing: please do not do it again. Thanks. PamD 07:18, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the interests of the encyclopedia I've now made a redirect from Natan Ketilsson (there should have been one before as this spelling is mentioned in the lead of his article), so the link which was showing red above is now showing blue. PamD 07:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
