Editing talk page comments, etc.

Hi Statisticspedia. While I'm pretty sure that you mean well, you need to be very careful in editing talk page comments made by others as explained in WP:TPO. Talk pages aren't held to the same standards are articles so removing extra spaces or correcting apparent errors is not really something which needs to be done unless there a serious policy or guideline violation which needs addressing or there's a major formatting or syntax error that hinders understanding. Going around editing posts left by others is generally a quick way to find yourself having problems with other editors because in the worst case scenario you change something that changes the intended meaning of the post. I also suggest you be careful editing policy or guideline pages as well since even a slight change could have implications that go beyond that particular page.

Now, if you want to go around removing spaces from articles, etc. then you can; however, you should be a little more cautious with anything outside of the WP:MAINSPACE. If you make some changes, though, you should make sure you leave an edit summary so that others know why the change was made. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:12, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

== User pages == sure i'm not going to do it again

Don't edit other peoples' userpages, please. Acroterion (talk) 01:51, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Again, don't do that. And Wikipedia style (and most others) doesn't use apostrophes in date ranges. Acroterion (talk) 01:57, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in MP3. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please stop your removal of dashes and hyphens. See MOS:DASH for information about the proper use of dashes. LiberatorG (talk) 20:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
