User talk:24.44.51.213

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made to Grace VanderWaal. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply  [ create a named account] . It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
 * Create new pages and rename pages
 * Edit semi-protected pages
 * Upload images
 * Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (24.44.51.213) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a new Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Questions, or you can  to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).

Happy editing! — ATS &#128406;  Talk  04:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

... our Manual of Style. Please read it. — ATS &#128406;  Talk  04:59, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The rule specific to the "logical comma" is MOS:TQ. — ATS &#128406;  Talk  05:25, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Grace VanderWaal. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been undone. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. — ATS &#128406;  Talk  05:16, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Title or not, in American English, commas and periods go inside quotations. It does not matter if it is a title vs. quote. I should not be penalized for making accurate grammatical changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.51.213 (talk • contribs)
 * No, they do not. I take it you didn't bother to read WP:TQ; please take a moment to educate yourself, so that you're not "penalized" for disruption. — ATS &#128406;  Talk  07:38, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

I did read it. In American English, commas and periods go inside quotations. That article does not change that. I do not appreciate the condescension, so if you could refrain from being an asshole next time, that would be great. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.51.213 (talk • contribs)


 * Did you, now?


 * Punctuation is not included in titles. When was the last time you listened to "Ex's and Oh's,"?
 * In short, I will stop being an asshole when you stop being "right". — ATS &#128406;  Talk  01:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

As I already said, yes, I did read it. It would be "Ex's and Oh's." Continue being an asshole, then, because once again, in American English, it goes inside. I don't give a single flying shit how many times you post the same thing, it does not change the fact that in American English, what I said was correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.51.213 (talk • contribs)


 * ... Wikipedia does not use American English, to which you so stubbornly adhere. Even then, your adherence is not accurate; the Associated Press agrees with you, the Linguistic Society of America does not, and the Chicago Manual of Style vacillates.
 * The bottom line is and always will be: if you continue to change punctuation in Wikipedia articles based on American English, you will be using far more colorful metaphors than "asshole" toward the admin who blocks you for disrupting Wikipedia. — ATS &#128406;  Talk  03:43, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
