June 2021: Nicknames in single quotes

[edit]

When you go through articles enclosing nicknames in single quotes, you are changing articles from being in compliance with Wikipedia's Manual of style to being counter to the MOS and in need of attention from another editor. This is causing an ongoing problem of wasted editor resources. Wikipedia is entirely run by volunteers who would prefer not to follow you around fixing what you have "broken".
Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted.

If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:52, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes.
