The article on dips, in addition to being incorrect on matters pertaining to muscular mechanics, does not show proper subject/verb agreement throughout. A "person" is singular and "their" is plural. You cannot say, "A person supports their weight," if the antecedent of the pronoun "their" is "person". That is not proper grammar.
WikiPedia most certainly does NOT support this absurd non-grammatical nonsense. The website you listed was WP:GNL but that website says that it is acceptable to use "they" and "their" when pluralizing both subject AND predicate, not just one or the other. Read the link! It says: "Pluralizing (not “A player starts by taking up his position”, but “Players start by taking up their positions”), although this can be problematic where the text needs to emphasize individuals, or where it creates a need to switch regularly between singular and plural."
What you have written is simply bad grammar and Wikipedia does not endorse it. Please read the discussion page and contribute there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raoulduke25 ( talk • contribs) 17:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I will try to rewrite the article and preserve both aspects that Wikipedia wants.

Hi Inhumandecency! Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. I put "sources" and "wikify" tags but i removed it because i wasn't sure it was 100% appropriate. That's the reason why it only appears in the history (I guess you understand now). For more information, see WP:WIKIFY and WP:SOURCE, which contains guidelines and tags. Don't be afraid to take a look at wikipedia guidelines related articles, there is a lot of useful information for newcomers who want to improve the encyclopedia (like you). I'm not a wikipedia expert but you can drop me a line if you have more questions. Salut! :) Frédérick Lacasse 13:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Under the

see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{

Speedy deletion of Broaden-and-build
A tag has been placed on Broaden-and-build requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -

Hi! The page in question is Broaden-and-build, which was deleted by Dlohcierekim ( talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). However, it appears that the deletion was improper because there were some non-copyvio versions in the history, so I restored the good versions of both articles.

Hi there, I've replied to your comment there. Tim Vickers ( talk) 20:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Concerning this edit: It is incorrect to use a capital P and a capital C in this context. It should be "In popular culture", with a capital initial "I" and the rest in lower case. This is codified in Wikipedia:Manual of Style. The first letter of a section heading is capital; the rest are capital only when there's a reason to capitalize them. Being an initial letter in a section heading is not such a reason. Look around Wikipedia and you'll see this. Michael Hardy ( talk) 17:46, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Dear Author/Inhumandecency
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and Why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Arthrography. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain ( talk) 16:41, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Comparison of crowd funding services, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Swag and Equity ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
