Commas

Hi

Can you explain why you added those commas in the C3PO page as I do not really understand the point of the addition. If there is some guideline I have not seen I would appreciate a link.

"In Episode I, a skeletal C-3PO model was puppeteered, with Anthony Daniels providing the voice-over, and the puppeteer was then digitally removed in post-production. For Episode II, Daniels requested to take over the puppeteering duties, but the scenes were later deleted and replaced with Daniels voicing C-3PO instead. For Episodes III to VI, Daniels wore the costume during principal photography and provided the voice-over."

whereas it should read:

In Episode I a skeletal C-3PO model was puppeteered, with Anthony Daniels providing the voice-over, and the puppeteer was then digitally removed in post-production. For Episode II Daniels requested to take over the puppeteering duties, but the scenes were later deleted and replaced with Daniels voicing C-3PO instead. For Episodes III to VI Daniels wore the costume during principal photography and provided the voice-over.

It may also be true that the terms should be Episodes III–VI as these are in fact numbers - as per date range in MoS

The rule that sentences with comma delimiters should be readable by ignoring the part in the commas comes into play in the first comma addition.

"My head, and my neck, hurts." - If the parts between the commas are deleted we are left with "My head hurts" which is correct.

Your first addition makes no sense in the sentence. Previously it read "when he accompanies Padmé to Mustafar and Anakin,". The following part gave the sentence, ignoring the part between the commas, as:-

"when he accompanies her to Mustafar and Anakin uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness" but the sentence is now completely messed up.

"However, C-3PO becomes a witness to his maker's turn to the dark side of the Force when he accompanies Padmé to Mustafar, and Anakin, now the Sith Lord Darth Vader, uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness." gives

"However and Anakin uses the force to choke..."

"C-3PO, however, becomes a witness to his makers turn to the dark side of the force when he accompanies Padme to Mustafar ~~and~~ where Anakin, now the Sith Lord Darth Vader, uses the Force to choke her into unconciousness." would be more applicable really.

My second addition, the commas after the episode numbers, is debatable. If someone removes them, I'm not put out. But my first edit was critical. The rule in question is not the one you cite about using commas to separate parenthetical clauses. The rule instead is to delineate a compound sentence. Commas are used to separate entirely separate clauses. In this case, the clause "However, C-3PO becomes a witness to his maker's turn to the dark side of the Force when he accompanies Padmé to Mustafar" is completely separate from the independent clause "Anakin, now the Sith Lord Darth Vader, uses the Force to choke her into unconsciousness." When two independent clauses are separated by a conjunction, in this case the word "and," the conjunction must be preceded by a comma. Cf. http://grammartips.homestead.com/compoundsentences.html

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form -- most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
