User:Wai Wai

I'm a member of WikiProject Fact and Reference Check

Hello. I'm Wai Wai.

I have been contributing to this website anonymously for years.

Finally I was tempted to joined this big family on the last day of May in 2006.

My-Interests

My-Habits My-Status

General

 * 1) I am not a hyper-correct person. Life is already hard. Don't make it harder!
 * 2) I prefer rule simplicity to complication. Why complicate matters?
 * 3) Strict rules are stupid. What does it hurt to simplify things?
 * 4) Be flexible. Let your writing style go, let your own personality go.
 * 5) Facilitate communications, not facilitate rules and stubbornness.

Specific

 * 1) I prefer hyphen: 2-words, then 2 words, then 2words. Hyphen can visibly show the linking between 2 words and avoid possible confusion in some situations.
 * 2) I like numerical over text numbers: 2, not two. Don't you think it is easier to read numbers, especially when it grows large?
 * 3) Singular they is not good because it is still confusing. Do you mean singular or plural they? Why not simply use "it" - a perfect candidate of a simple, gender-neutral, and singular pronoun?
 * 4) Does it hurt to write childs & wifes, comparision or curiousity, breaked or more happy?

My useful tags

Citing and sources

 * Citequote, tagging a request for citation, used for information that needs citations to make it complete, but not for seemingly doubtful or false texts
 * Fact, another version of Citequote
 * Request quote, tagging a request for quoting inaccessible source, used for requesting a direct quote from the cited source for verification
 * Verify source, tagging a request for source verification, used for information that is doubtful or appears false.
 * Verify credibility, a tag which has the same purpose of Verify source but with a different wording.


 * Citecheck, popping up a box saying an article or section may have inappropriate or misinterpreted citations
