I noticed that you often do edits without an edit summary. Please try to fill in the summary field with each edit. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Thanks, - Fnlayson ( talk) 22:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 | Hello! Voting in the
2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All
eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review
the candidates and submit your choices on the
voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add |
In edits like this and this, you're being a bit uncivil. Please tone it down a bit. Gratuitously calling someone a moron in an edit summary is pointless. It doesn't accomplish anything useful, and it will just get you blocked. If you're getting that worked up over punctuation, maybe it'd be a good idea to take short breaks from editing Wikipedia. On the topic of punctuation, semicolons and commas are sometimes interchangeable, but this is not always the case. There are situations where one is required and the other is an error. An edit like this one that replaces a semicolon with a comma is incorrect. A comma that joins two independent clauses results in a comma splice. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 05:07, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- The person he called a moron not only makes lots of grammar mistakes but also continues to try and create franchise articles using IMDB as a source and claims exceptions to WP:USERGENERATED without backing up those claims. Maybe being more polite would be helpful but when there is an editor who keeps making the same kinds of mistakes repeatedly and isn't following the rules, maybe Grammar nazi 666 is a symptom and not the real problem. -- 109.76.155.125 ( talk) 01:51, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Grammar nazi 666. I wonder would you like to discuss your edits at Talk:Friday the 13th (disambiguation)? Many thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:32, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- And please don't just tell me to "go away" as you did here. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 19:13, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
It looks like others have already explained to you that you should not be removing semi-colons separating two independent clauses and replacing them with a comma. That is incorrect grammar because it leads to a comma splice. Please be more careful in your editing. Thank you. – wallyfromdilbert ( talk) 21:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Steampunk. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been or will be
reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 00:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- A little more specifically, you seem to be removing semicolons somewhat indiscriminately. They can be overused, and it might be appropriate to change away from one from time to time, but you should not going around looking for ones to remove. Often it's a 50-50 sort of change, and those should not be done. Not only that, but in the article I'm leaving the warning for, the one you changed was part of a quotation! Quoted material should not be changed. You've also been asked to leave edit summaries, yet you continue to fail to do so. This is also considered disruptive. Please edit more carefully and with other editors in mind. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 00:16, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your
disruptive editing.

- You again made one pointless semicolon change and one harmful change, because it was part of a quote. Please respond here so that I know you're aware of the issue. You also are still not leaving edit summaries despite continued requests to do so. Also please see WP:Communication is required. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon • videos) 02:55, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
