Capitalization on section headers

Hi... I have reverted some of your recent good faith changes to the Freemasonry article. If you have not seen our WP:Manual of style guideline, please do read it... you will see that for article titles and section headers, Wikipedia uses sentence case (ie only the first letter is capitalized - while following words remain in lower case... as in: Ritual and symbolism as opposed to Ritual and Symbolism).

Note that Wikipedia has a lot of policies and guidelines... too many for anyone to assimilate when they are new to editing. Don't panic about it... It will take a bit of time to become familiar with them all. The best way to learn is to go ahead and edit and make mistakes... then see which of your edits get "corrected". Don't take being reverted personally... it isn't meant that way, and is how we all learned.

List of terms used for Germans

Hi Capistranese , I've reverted the bulk of the changes you made at List of terms used for Germans, with edit summaries for each change. I'd suggest you check out MOS:LQ, WP:ENGVAR and be aware of the different level of headings and subheadings that are appropriate at a given point in an article, per MOS:HEAD. I'd also recommend reading WP:MINOR. All the best. Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:23, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ENGVAR

Please stop changing the spellings in articles that consistently use one form of English to another per the link above. Articles with strong national ties to one English-speaking country should use that variety of English, and articles without such ties should retain the earliest variety used. Thanks.

Minor edits, again

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Fashoda Incident, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

February 2016

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Neuralgia. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Graham87 14:32, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Diana Mitford may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

Disambiguation link notification for August 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cato the Elder, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lucius Cornelius Scipio. 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.

Hijab revert

Hi-- I hate to undo your good copy editing there, but it's mixed up with many problematic changes which broke multiple links, introduced unsourced commentary into quotations, and changed meaning of an important passage ("this" refers not to the verse itself but to its traditionally understood occasion of revelation). Eperoton (talk) 03:38, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Position of quotation marks

Hello, thanks for your copyedit at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. However, I've had to undo your changes to the positions of quotation marks – Wikipedia uses logical quotation, so the position of punctuation next to quotation marks depends on if the punctuation is part of the text being quoted. Also, I undid your removal of "from" from "far from being exhausted", which I assume was accidental. Graham87 14:47, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're still making mistakes with regard to the placement of quotation marks (at Anne, Queen of Great Britain). See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Punctuation inside or outside. Also, the article is written in British English which is another reason to put the marks back where they were, British style. Celia Homeford (talk) 15:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

November 2017

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! DMacks (talk) 21:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Hello, I noticed that you made a change to the position of quotation marks at Neuralgia, despite having been warned about this sort of thing before. Therefore, I've unfortunately had to block you. If you have shown that you have read and understood the messages on this page,you will be unblocked. Graham87 03:57, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've also undone this edit to your user page from April 2016; you should have kept an eye on it. Luckily, this sort of thing is more difficult now. Graham87 04:10, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Graham87, you are a pedantic ass who needs to lighten up and take yourself much less seriously. Capistranese (talk) 14:38, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
