WP:Manual of Style and grammar

edit

Hello, Jpgs33. Review the WP:Manual of Style before making any more edits that you view as grammar corrections; for example, I reverted you here and here because your edits in those cases are not the ways that we are supposed to format things at this site. And I don't know what you were thinking with this edit; that's just plain wrong, which is why I also reverted that. Flyer22 (talk) 20:33, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

You are still making incorrect edits, such as this one. You are not correcting grammar in such cases. You are screwing up the grammar. For you to go on a grammar fix spree, tackling different kinds of grammatical aspects, when you clearly don't fully understand grammar, is foolish. And obviously a detriment to Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Patient Conversation Media

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Patient Conversation Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Logical Cowboy (talk) 23:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

This experience in editing is fun but I think I need to familiarize my self and study more with policies and conditions.

Opting in to VisualEditor

edit

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:26, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
