This edit was a lot more wordy. The editor's rationale for changing "Mainline denominations" to "Contemporary mainline churches" was not a good one, since the word denomination does mean an organized religious body. Denomination and "church" roughly equate, but some denominations, like the American Baptist Churches, are not technically speaking a single "church". Just wanted to let you know since it seemed that my revert was so egregious to you. Ltwin ( talk) 23:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Agrippa I, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King of the Jews ( 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.

It's good of you to make use of edit summaries to provide a thorough explanation of the changes you are making to articles. However, Wikipedia's principles of civility and good Wikiquette would counsel against immediately leaping to insulting characterizations, such as "childishly ungrammatical," "risibly bad," "third[-]grade . . . mistake," and "I love how total morons think they can write for Wikipedia!" Wikipedia encourages all interested users to contribute; having English as a first language, to say nothing of university-level writing ability, is no prerequisite. Uncivil comments needlessly lower the tone of the project and can even have the effect of biting newcomers and driving editors away. This especially bears pointing out in contexts where you are wrong, such as in this edit (standard British grammar treats as plural the names of bands, corporations, etc.), these edits ("imposition" is the standard word for this part of the rite), and this edit (wrong on both counts: under the standard sequence of tenses of English grammar, "he is recorded as having been" is correct; and you have changed "Bunyan" to "Bunya," making it appear as though the spelling of his name in the baptismal register was different).
I hope you will keep these things in mind in the future as you continue to improve the encyclopedia. — Glenfarclas ( talk) 09:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

reflect your frustration with low quality of wikipedia, which is understandable. However please keep in mind that wikipedia is written by people with different background and free of charge. What is in fact hilarious and amazing that the project survived for 10+ years and does have a solird record of success (together with drawbacks, of course). Whatever the project accomplished is the result of cooperation: some people know facts, while other peole know how to use semi-colons.

17:18, 10 July 2012 (UTC)I feel some of your recent edit summaries are rather belittling, epecally when they relate to such trivial grammatical errors.
Correct the articles my all means, but could you not make constructive and encouraging comments instead?
Also, the large block you removed from the Neil Armstrong article, would it have not be more useful to place it were is should go (and flow), rather then just delete it on mass? - or better still discus it's placement on the talk page?

Hi,
My reversion of your edits is mostly a matter of my own taste, though you had left a loose end with " Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People provides is the source on England in the early Middle Ages." The 'standard' spelling of canonise is even more complicated than I realized as an American, but cannot really be called a misspelling. Sparafucil ( talk) 05:46, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with trying to make things clearer in an article, but your addition makes explicit what can be inferred and is thus unnecessary, and it breaks the impartial and encyclopedic tone that Wikipedia tries to maintain.

Hi Rsquire, regarding this edit, I completely understand that the punctuation is incorrect, but direct quotes from sources must be preserved exactly. Please do not change again. Thanks!
I wanted to say something about the tone of your edit summaries but see that others did it before me. Instead of this lecture, you might have said "comma, for clarity", - for politeness.

Compare:
When referencing a scholarly work, it is acceptable (and in some contexts customary) to refer to the author's processes in the present tense e.g. "Vasari says that this, Vasari writes this, Vasari states this and Vasari holds this opinion." "Anonimo, on the other hand, gives an entirely different version and explains the context."
Happy editing!

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

With this edit you resumed insulting others in edit summaries and proved that you are not getting the point, despite ten previous warnings and two previous blocks. You are also exhibiting a tendency to edit war rather than discuss; the last time you used any talk page it was October 15, 2013. Please re-read WP:CIVIL and adhere to the Wikipedia policies on user conduct and collegial editing. Thank you. Elizium23 ( talk) 20:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Be informed that with this edit and this one, your ongoing refusal to abide by WP:CIVIL is noticed once again. Insults, far from being a sign of erudition, are instead the behavior of a child. Willful disregard of others reflects poorly only on the practitioner. It's all been said to you before, and twice has resulted in disciplinary action. This history could not escape the notice of a dufus. It did not escape you either, as you are clearly able to behave otherwise. You have no excuse. Your attitude is reprehensible. You have previously been asked politely to cease. But now it is appropriate to demand it. Stop now. It's WP policy, and that policy is there for good reason. That too is not beyond your comprehension. Evensteven ( talk) 06:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
In general I really like what you've done with Hebrews. However, I have my doubts about "calls itself" and "in its original Greek manuscripts". Original Greek manuscripts, to me, would mean something close to the autograph copy. We don't have anything close to that - Codex Alexandrinus is 5th century or so. As for "calls itself", the superscription may well be a later addition. Bacchiad ( talk) 19:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

(I didn't write the passage, nor did I read it in a long time.) Every user is every other's "proofreader" ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:58, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Compare:
When referencing a scholarly work, it is acceptable (and in some contexts customary) to refer to the author's processes in the present tense e.g. "Vasari says that this, Vasari writes this, Vasari states this and Vasari holds this opinion." "Anonimo, on the other hand, gives an entirely different version and explains the context."
Happy editing!

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,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nanking Massacre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Japanese ( 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.

Your replacement wording:
he was convicted only of lack of safety-preparedness, for which he was sentenced to ten years in prison
does not have the same meaning as the original wording:
one of the only things he was ever punished for was lack of safety-preparedness, which was sufficient for him to receive a ten-year prison sentence
does it? Beyond My Ken ( talk) 04:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

With this edit you resumed insulting others in edit summaries and proved that you are not getting the point, despite ten previous warnings and two previous blocks. You are also exhibiting a tendency to edit war rather than discuss; the last time you used any talk page it was October 15, 2013. Please re-read WP:CIVIL and adhere to the Wikipedia policies on user conduct and collegial editing. Thank you. Elizium23 ( talk) 20:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Be informed that with this edit and this one, your ongoing refusal to abide by WP:CIVIL is noticed once again. Insults, far from being a sign of erudition, are instead the behavior of a child. Willful disregard of others reflects poorly only on the practitioner. It's all been said to you before, and twice has resulted in disciplinary action. This history could not escape the notice of a dufus. It did not escape you either, as you are clearly able to behave otherwise. You have no excuse. Your attitude is reprehensible. You have previously been asked politely to cease. But now it is appropriate to demand it. Stop now. It's WP policy, and that policy is there for good reason. That too is not beyond your comprehension. Evensteven ( talk) 06:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
In general I really like what you've done with Hebrews. However, I have my doubts about "calls itself" and "in its original Greek manuscripts". Original Greek manuscripts, to me, would mean something close to the autograph copy. We don't have anything close to that - Codex Alexandrinus is 5th century or so. As for "calls itself", the superscription may well be a later addition. Bacchiad ( talk) 19:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
