Quotations
I have reverted most of your edits because you are putting punctuations inside songs. The songs are called "Billie Jean" not "Billie Jean,"; "Funkytown" not "Funkytown,", "Truly" not "Truly,", etc. as you intented to do. This is a typical error, please read the MOS:QUOTE for future references. ۞  Tb hotch  ™  &  (ↄ),  Problems with my English?  18:36, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Language as Possibility
Dear Alcazar84: As someone with a focus on language, perhaps you could wade more deeply into the article on Tabby's Star, and with the idea that such an enigmatic subject requires a certain openness to the exploratory capabilities of language if it is to be embraced in the most intelligent possible manner.

Oxford commas
I notice that you've added Oxford commas to a bunch of articles. Wikipedia has no preference for this one way or another when they are not needed for clarification, as long as use is consistent within an article. See MOS:OXFORD. Generally, it's better to avoid making changes where there is no preference in the style guide as you're likely to upset other editors. O3000 (talk) 17:47, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Just another person asking you to stop doing this. Quale (talk) 19:55, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that my edits are not to your liking. Using serial commas increases readability, especially for those of us who read like we are speaking, adding a pause when there is a comma and no pause when there is no punctuation.  It is very disconcerting to read a list and have the last two items look like they are grouped together when they actually are not, and then expect to have more of a list because you have not reached the serial comma yet.


 * And incidentally, as opposed to the comment you left on the revert of my Pascal edit, there are a total of 23 lists, over one-third of which actually *do* use the Oxford comma, so I was just trying to add consistency to the article. When I made the edit, I did not read the whole thing (I would have edited the rest that did not use the serial comma), but I was prompted to when you made your erroneous comment.

 * You should give WP:MISSSNODGRASS a read. EEng 21:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * An interesting read. I agree with most of it, and I was aware of about half of it already. You should give Grammar Girl a listen. She can be found at https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl/. Then come back and talk to me again. Alcazar84 (talk) 14:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Corbomite Maneuver, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please also see WP:IPCV.
