Ernest Hemingway
[edit]I noticed your comment at Talk:Ernest Hemingway. What you type into the edit window is known as "wikitext". If a line of wikitext starts with a space, the result is rather strange, so I replaced your space with three colons (":::") which indents your comment by three positions. Don't worry about things like that because if there is a problem, someone will fix it. I don't know enough about the topic to comment, but in general Wikipedia has to follow certain procedures which sometimes have undesirable consequences such as what you are suggesting.
