Wikipedia's odd punctuation usage
In dealing with the 2011 doomsday prediction article, I see you adjusted several quoted items to use traditional punctuation style. What you may not realize is that Wikipedia has a policy to use something called logical quotation, which keeps punctuation that's not actually being quoted outside of the quotation marks. You probably learned to write He had three anteaters named "Tom," "Dick," and "Harry." - but around here, because the punctuation isn't actually part of the critters' names, we'd say named "Tom", "Dick", and "Harry". There are reasons for this, which you can see discussed at MOS:LQ. I've gone ahead and adjusted the punctuation that you did. Thank you for taking the time to try to make Wikipedia better! Let me know if you have any questions. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:28, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 6
Hi. When you recently edited The Honeymoon Killers, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Albany and Mobile (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: 2Shy
Can you please stop expanding the plot section to an unwieldy length? Relevant guidelines on writing a plot section exist at WP:FILMPLOT (400–700 words for a feature film, which is at least twice as long as a television episode) and WP:TVPLOT (200500 words for a television episode). What you're adding is just additional descriptive detail rather than any important plot points; this is exactly the kind of material which is cut out to bring a plot summary down to size (WP:PLOTSUM gives a good anecdote about Michaelangelo's David being carved by "removing everything that wasn't David" from a block of marble). If you're interested in writing an in-depth summary of the episode's plot, sites like The X-Files Wiki exist without such guidelines and tend to welcome that additional level of detail; however, en.wiki is clear on its policy in terms of plot summaries.

 * WP:TVPLOT. 200 to 500 words for an episode plot summary. This is not hard to understand, please stop trying to force through a 700+ word version which adds nothing useful instead. Take it to Wikia or another fansite if you insist on writing it. GRAPPLE   X  21:07, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Dust Bowl
Hello, thanks for your copyedit at Dust Bowl. However, the template cite book, along with other common citation templates, already includes a comma after the author's surname, so I've removed the duplicate comma you added. Graham 87 14:10, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Opting in to VisualEditor
As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, " ". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:23, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
