Spacing in filenames

Please do not change the spacing in image filenames and ref-templates as you did at Frank Zappa - doing so destroys things.

For instance, with this edit you changed this:

Zappa with Captain Beefheart, seated left, during a 1975 concert

into this:

File:Frank Zappa — Capt. Beefheart — crop.jpg

Zappa with Captain Beefheart, seated left, during a 1975 concert

Result: Image gone. Please review all your recent edits with this in mind. Thanks - DVdm (talk) 03:35, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

My apologies. I went pretty trigger-happy with advisor.js. In the future, I will be more careful, and review my edits thoroughly before saving. Thank you for alerting me of the negative edits; I had no idea. EvilMossman (talk) 12:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. Watch out, Tools can be dangerous... - DVdm (talk) 12:43, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

MOS and Repeatlink

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Kerbal Space Program, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please have a look at wp:REPEATLINK:

Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead.

The link to Kevin MacLeod (musician) that you deleted in this edit first appeared in the infobox. Likewise with this edit. Please restore.

In general, please acquaint yourself thoroughly with our wp:Manual of Style, before you go about making multiple MOS-related changes, as you seem to be doing here. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 04:47, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

The two links have been restored. Again, thanks for informing me of this.EvilMossman (talk) 12:47, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Thx. There might be some more, as I only checked about half of your edits.

Ah, by the way, with my little request to review all you edits, I did not mean that you should just preview them before, and review them after the edits. I actually asked you to go back to your edits and review them one by one, just to make sure that you haven't left any problems behind. That's a bit of work of course. Anyway, thanks for these already. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
