Capitalisation errors

[edit]

Hi, your recent change to amateur radio resulted in massive linking and capitalisation issues. Please note that the terms "amateur radio", "ham", etc., are not proper nouns and should not be capitalised. I've reverted this change. Huntster (t@c) 09:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Above

[edit]

I am a new Wikipedia contributor, so please forgive me for any mistakes I make in protocol. At least five sources ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitalization ) indicate that the correct spelling of "capitalization" uses a "z" rather than an "s" as is written above. I apologize for causing "massive" linking issues. I only contributed one link -- so I cannot imagine how this caused such immense problems. Nonetheless, I am sorry for the trouble I created. I believe that the statement -- above -- that the term "Amateur Radio" is not a proper noun and, therefore, should not be capitalized is certainly debatable. The national organization for Amateur Radio consistently capitalizes the term ( http://www.arrl.org/pio/ ). This is also true of the international organization ( http://www.iaru.org/ ). Regarding the term "Ham Radio," I agree that it is not officially recognized. However, it is so ingrained in the Amateur Radio culture that I believe it deserves the same status -- along with "Radio Amateur," "Ham Operator," and "Amateur Radio Operator." I am not going to be silly about this by insisting that my views prevail. It is now obvious to me that the opinions of some Wikipedia contributors hold more authority than others and that these contributors can undo the work of the lesser contributors. I can accept that and I will, therefore, drop this issue. Samson3000 (talk) 07:20, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gig Young, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Desperate Hours. 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.

I note that in this edit (2015) you have, among other things, added the word "raped". Another editor would like to remove it, as it seems not to be part of the plot. Do you have a reliable source you can cite, or would you like to let it go?--Quisqualis (talk) 02:57, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would be willing to substitute the phrase "sexually assaulted" for the word "raped," if the other editor would be satisfied with this change. As to the act being a part of the plot, one of the most esteemed film critics in history, Roger Ebert, is very clear that it is: Touch of Evil movie review & film summary (1958) | Roger Ebert.
