...how you think I vandalized the Johnny Cash entry?

== Travel costs and [[science fiction fandom]] ==

If you read accounts of early 20th century fannish life as enshrined in the early fanzines, you will see that the high cost of travel (by 21st-century standards) was quite relevant to how fan culture developed. --[[User:Orangemike|<span style="color:darkorange;">Orange Mike</span>]]  &#x007C;  [[User talk:Orangemike|<span style="color:orange;">Talk</span>]] 18:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

: This is true. I had thought the last part of the sentence previous to the one I deleted ("or when one of them could manage a trip") covered the fact that travel was costlier during the early 20th society. As such, I had deleted it. However, upon reflection, the sentence should have stayed. I was not trying to undermine the article, nor was I trying to under-appreciate what fans did to meet up. Sorry if it appeared so. [[User:Red dwarf|Red dwarf]] ([[User talk:Red dwarf#top|talk]]) 21:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

== Yeah ==

Yeah, I usually just fix spelling mistakes, add music video tables to artist discographies, or add pictures to singles, artists, bands, or albums. Like [[Spacehog]] didn't have an artist picture, so I added one. [[This Too Shall Pass (song)|This Too Shall Pass]] by [[OK Go]] didn't have a single cover on its page, so I added one. Beck's [[Beck discography|discography]] didn't have a music video table, so I created one.

== Semicolons? ==

You removed a semicolon from the [[iPad]] article. I put it back, and I wanted to explain why. Information is frequently added to WP articles, and it's usually added as whole sentences. This leads to a choppy feel for many readers. Many times, sentences can be combined to make the paragraph read more smoothly. Often, it's just a matter of extracting the essence from one and putting it into the other. Other times, using a semicolon to combine two independent clauses works really well. Please think before you undo this work; many times, the sentence works well punctuated that way, and splitting it up fragments the text. Thanks! &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:UncleBubba|<b style="color:black">Uncle</b><b style="color:darkred">Bubba</b>]]&nbsp;<b><sup>(&nbsp;[[User talk:UncleBubba|T]]&nbsp;[[Special:Emailuser/UncleBubba|@]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/UncleBubba|C]]&nbsp;)</sup></b> 12:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

== em dash vs. en dash and spacing ==

Hello, Red Dwarf.  I was looking at the article on A Wrinkle in Time, and I noticed this edit of yours. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_Wrinkle_in_Time&diff=1025518646&oldid=1025518115].  I didn't revert it, but I also thought it was perfectly fine the way it was before your edit.  I don't know if there's a strict rule on this, or if it's just a style thing, but even though I didn't insert those em dashes, they were done just the way I would have done them.  Is there a rule you can point me to? Thanks.

Hey, Unschool! It is a personal style thing. I presumed that the shorter dashes were correct, as opposed to longer dashes. I can't find any rule about using one over the other.

== [[Derry]] ==

Hi there ~ i've undone an edit of yours on Derry for a couple of reasons:  First, it was already correct English; second, only in certain circumstances is a comma required after a years (usually to make it paranthetical), not in a single clause; third, the repetition of {{tq|Londonderry County Borough Council}} within such a short space felt very clumsy; and, last,a new sentence requires a capital letter starting it.  Very possibly one or more of those were typos or other slips, but as a whole i felt that the paragraph was better previously.  Happy days ~ '''[[User:LindsayH|Lindsay]]'''<sup>'''[[User_talk:LindsayH|H]]'''[[User_talk:LindsayH|ello]]</sup> 07:50, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah, I was sleep deprived when I made the edits. Hence the typos and other errors. I really should save editing for when I have a clearer mind (and I'm better rested lol).

Thanks again, and have a great one!! [[User:Red dwarf|Red dwarf]] ([[User talk:Red dwarf#top|talk]]) 14:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

== [[MOS:GEOCOMMA]] ==

Note that I have partially undone [[Special:PermanentLink/1159694403|an edit of yours]] as [[MOS:GEOCOMMA]] (and many other style guides) indicates that a comma should go after "India" in such circumstances.

:And I have just reverted [[Special:Diff/1163077508|this edit of yours]] at the [[Culver's]] article. A place name like [[Dubuque, Iowa]], should have a comma after Iowa, as the paired commas set the optional "Iowa" apart from the rest of the text.

Hello Red dwarf,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Valley Mall (Corner Brook)]] for deletion, because it seems to be [[Wikipedia:Promotion|promotional]], rather than an encyclopedia article.

== Jimmy Carr ==

Hi

You are editing some text that I made to this page and introducing typos "Carr nevsr make" (and that should be MADE if you are changing it that way)

But I also am not keen on your changing years to text format. Why are you only changing a few of them? It is harder to read and looks odd and not seen it done anywhere else.

Thanks [[User:Comedy Nerd77|Comedy Nerd77]] ([[User talk:Comedy Nerd77|talk]]) 09:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

:Hey!
:Good eye, thanks! It was supposed to say  "never". I'm typing on a tablet, so the occasional slip goes through. should have said maid too
:As for the numbers, I intended to write out just the ones that started sentences as well as numbers under 10. I've understood it was in good form to write numbers in both instances, unless it is in dates or proper nouns/names
:I can change both back, if need be. Thanks again [[User:Red dwarf|Red dwarf]] ([[User talk:Red dwarf#top|talk]]) 09:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
::Hello
::Sorry - went out. Just have 5 mins, will be back later. Could we change the years back again, please? It's not just a whim - search engines cannot pick up a year written in text so anyone searching for a specific event / year wouldn't find the page. 
::When researching that info i had one hell of a job finding the really old stuff as I had to use Google filters to go back 20 years, in some cases. Partly because, with articles, many websites omit publishing dates now. It makes research REALLY time intensive. [[User:Comedy Nerd77|Comedy Nerd77]] ([[User talk:Comedy Nerd77|talk]]) 11:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Hey! Sorry, never realized it made things harder to Google by writing out dates (instead of leaving them as numbers).. I would've changed the years back, but you've already done so. Thanks for changing 'em back! [[User:Red dwarf|Red dwarf]] ([[User talk:Red dwarf#top|talk]]) 21:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
::::Morning. I think most people don't use dates when searching anyway - but if you are trying to pin down a particular event, searching with a year can help. 
::::I thought later on that it's probably more important from the perspective of people who don't have English as a 1st language.
::::I know, for me, reading a year (in another language) is one of the hardest things. You literally have to break it down into the numerical components and think it through. So a number is always easier to read.
::::I'm on a PC so I thought it was quicker to just scroll through and alter them. [[User:Comedy Nerd77|Comedy Nerd77]] ([[User talk:Comedy Nerd77|talk]]) 10:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::Hey again!
:::::Good idea, regarding dates/years. It's also easier to read for those who have English as a first language - "2005" (as an example) looks better than "two thousand and five". I can only imagine what it's like for those who read English as a second language!
:::::I would have changed the dates/years back to numerals myself yesterday. I had to wait until I had more time with my PC/a computer, instead of "typing" on a tablet computer. Much appreciated, just the same!! [[User:Red dwarf|Red dwarf]] ([[User talk:Red dwarf#top|talk]]) 20:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

== Grammar-editing kick ==

You seem to be on a run of grammar edits. I appreciate the enthusiasm. However, a number of your edits range from the unnecessary (it's perfectly acceptable for a four-digit number not to include a comma so long as its not in an article with other numbers with a comma, per [[MOS:DIGITS]]) to ones that reduce comprehension ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1294338437 this] turned a cause-and-effect (the tournament had gotten too big and they were splitting it into two events) into two seemingly unrelated announcements) to the grammatically damaging ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1294358394 this edit] makes it sound like the album released something, rather than having been released itself;  while this could have been adjusted by adding a "was", the sentence was not so complex that it needed to be split into two. If the goal was to indicate that this was ''the'' Japanese release rather than ''a'' Japanese release, this could be achieved with commas.) You may want to, if not turn down your enthusiasm, at least turn up your caution a bit. -- [[User:NatGertler|Nat Gertler]] ([[User talk:NatGertler|talk]]) 13:41, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
