Please preview, consolidate, and summarize

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
- The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

In addition, please do not leave long edit summaries such as your last one at Patrick O'Brian; use the discussion page instead. Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 00:18, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maggie Shaddick

Hey :)

I've just removed the sentences you added to Maggie Shaddick that were almost a direct copy-paste from the obituary. To avoid any possible claims of copyright violation and plagiarism, we need to be sure we write the content of articles in our own words. There's some more info on this here: Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Feel free to drop me a message if you've got questions on this, and thanks for your work so far! Cheers, stwalkerster (talk) 18:35, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring and poor grammar

Please stop edit-warring on Spanish battleship Jaime I and explain your reasoning in the thread I have opened here. Parsecboy (talk) 12:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Historian is NOT an adjective; it’s a noun. And, yes, you are plainly wrong. I am surprised by your confidence. You are so wrong and so confident at the same time. Wow!

- What you wrote is so wrong in so many respects that I am genuinely surprised. Do you really believe that “historian” is an adjective? Seriously?

Your example is -equally- wrong. No, we don’t write “I went to the store and the cashier Bob rang me up”; in English, we write: I went to the store and the cashier, Bob, rang me up. Shams lnm (talk) 13:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why you posted the same reply here, but since we're discussing this twice, tell me, in the sentence "I'm eating chicken soup", what part of speech is "chicken"? Parsecboy (talk) 13:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Chicken is an attributive noun (or noun modifier) in the phrase chicken soup. It tells us what is in the soup." https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/133325/is-chicken-a-modifier-in-chicken-soup

Shams lnm (talk) 14:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and what's another word for something that modifies a noun? Parsecboy (talk) 14:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! Shams lnm (talk) 14:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Chicken” is a noun, and “chicken soup” is -also- a noun. “Historian” is a noun; in “historian Marco Mattioli” or “military historian Albert Nofi”, the noun “historian” does not function as an adjective. Shams lnm (talk) 14:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this your last warning. Revert the article again, and we will head to WP:ANI. Parsecboy (talk) 23:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Go wherever you want to go. Shams lnm (talk) 23:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Parsecboy (talk) 00:05, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Shams lnm (talk) 00:10, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
