N. F. S. Grundtvig and date links

Thanks for your contributions to this article. Please note that Wikipedia doesn't link years, so your elaborate piping to link the second part of various year ranges was incorrect. Ranges of years within one century should be written as eg 1952-55 - two digits after the dash, even if in same decade; there were certainly some wrongly written ones (1952-1955 type) to be corrected. I'm not sure about the removal of punctuation in his name - might come back to that or let another editor do it. PamD 08:49, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture of Denmark

You have been changing the reference style of the GA-quality article Architecture of Denmark. Why? The previous reference style was not wrong; it is allowed. Please see WP:CITEVAR. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 20:42, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was inconsistent and incomplete. Or did I misundertood it?

—Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 20:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see that you are correct, that the GA version of the article was not consistent. Feel free to continue in your effort to bring consistency to the article. Binksternet (talk) 20:54, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I do find unsettling to receive such admonishements, so it is quite a relief to be able to explain myself.

Disambiguation link notification for February 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Random Quest

Hello, Leandrogfcdutra, and thanks for the work you did on Random Quest. Unfortunately I rushed in and, in an attempt to remove the spaced em dashes which MOS:DASH disallows, I undid a lot more. However, in subsequent edits I have repaired the damage I did. Sorry about that. With regard to the dash style, MOS:DASH allows either spaced en dashes or unspaced em dashes, so since I think the original author seems to have been aiming for the former, I have kept your spaces and changed the dashes. (The spaced en dash is the usual British way, so it also seems appropriate since Wyndham was British :) Sorry again for my bungled and clumsy editing. – Hebrides (talk) 13:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Kermit Gosnell, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 19:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have been doing that, except often the change is to a reference which will not show in a section preview. Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 01:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you are editing sections, are you removing the automatic part of the edit summary which shows the section you are working on? Elizium23 (talk) 01:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fear so, shouldn’t I? Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 02:07, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You could consider editing the whole article instead. That would permit you to preview changes to references, as well as make several changes at once. Elizium23 (talk) 03:37, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but then, in my experience, I risk more edit conflicts. Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 11:13, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spaces

Hello, I have recently seen your edits to the article Cleveland, and noticed that you inserted redundant spaces into it. A link to another Wikipedia article should have a [[Name|abc]] format, rather than a [[Name | abc]] one. For more information relating to those redundant spaces, see WP:LINK, WP:CITEFOOT and Template:Cite news (or another related template). Best, Toccata quarta (talk) 19:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it works both ways, and it is easier to parse with a space. Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 21:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True, but none of those pages mentions it as an alternative, and I have always placed consistency before editing comfort. Best, Toccata quarta (talk) 04:07, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is not only editing, and not only comfort. Parsing is primarily about reading and being able to quickly make sense of a particular instance of template usage — that ends up making it easier to edit too, but it is first about reading. It also, by the way, helps in making whole lines more readable, by enabling better line wrapping in the edit boxes. Leandrogfcdutra (talk) 15:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese orthography - personal names

I see from your edits to Roberto Azevêdo that you have an interest in "standard" Portuguese orthography. I am wondering whether you noticed my thoughts on this, in relation to personal names, at Talk:Roberto Azevêdo? The uncited alternative spellings postulated do seem like original research, and I cannot find anything that gives an authoritative view on the status of personal names. In any case, do you think such spellings have any formal status? It could be argued that personal names are not Portuguese words, especially in Brazil where immigrants' names are so varied and disparate. Can we discuss this here?

Navboxes on author pages

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. 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.
