You should find Wikipedia a friendlier place than TV Tropes: disputes are not unknown, but WP:Civility and WP:Assume good faith are principles we try to follow. There is a useful page at WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle which describes how things should work: in summary, if you see a change you think would improve the encyclopedia, be BOLD and make it; but if it is then reverted, don't just make it again, which could lead to an edit war; instead, discuss it on the article talk page, and try to reach WP:Consensus with other editors.

For suggestions about things to do, have a look at the WP:Community portal; if you are interested in improving the grammar of existing articles, you would be welcomed by the Guild of Copy-editors. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:54, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!

Copy edit feedback
Nice work on Amplitude (political party), it's a much better read now. I've reviewed your copy edit and have a few notes just to give you some feedback: So just some minor nit-picky tweaks. Your prose work was really good, and few copy editors catch all the little bits, though maybe watch for things like that italic-double quoted title. Wikipedia's house style guide, the Manual of Style, can be found at MOS:. It has many sub-pages and could take quite a while to go through it all, but the simplified manual of style (linked in the previous section) is a good place to start. There are additional resources at the Guild's how-to page. But I think you're on the right track and encourage you to continue copy editing and learn as you go.
 * In the lead, when you changed the party &rarr; the party's leanings that made the subject plural and the last clause no longer agreed, so it needed a little tweaking.
 * a manifesto entitled "Amplitude" You left this alone which is the safe move if you're unsure about something.  I'll try to briefly cover the style issues.  Foreign words get italics but foreign names and titles do not, so that doesn't apply (MOS:FOREIGNITALIC).  For works of art, titles of major works of art (books, newspapers, magazines, movies, theatrical plays, music albums, TV series, sculptures, paintings) are italicized and titles of minor works of art (short stories, newspaper and magazine articles, songs, TV episodes, minor sculptures and paintings) are enclosed by double quotes.  Sometimes you'll see a very minor work of art enclosed by single quotes.  I've looked at some articles about other manifestos and it varies as major/minor depending on depth of discussion.  I decided to go with double quotes, though I could see the case for italics.  (But both is a no-no.)
 * former Senator Carlos Cantero Proper titles attached directly to names are usually capitalized (MOS:JOBTITLE).  But in this case it groups the title and name together with "former" modifying them as a unit.  This might cause a tiny bit of confusion.  I felt that "former Senator" should be hyphenated as a compound modifier and lower case since "former-senator" isn't a specific proper-noun title.
 * Here's another compound modifier: political reforms agreement &rarr; political-reforms agreement. The hyphen associates the modifiers together and makes it read a little bit smoother.  Though we have to consider clarity issues in placing the hyphen.  My go-to example is "heavy metal detector":  a heavy-metal detector is a device for detecting heavy metals, while a heavy metal-detector is a metal detector which weighs a lot.
 * Lily Pérez has expressed I changed this to "had expressed"; it happened in late 2014 and is likely no longer her intent to pursue the matter.

By the way, there was a comment on the talk page that the article should actually be titled Amplitud which is a proper name, whereas "Amplitude" is its literal translation. I tend to agree as it seems to be given that way in sources. I can understand translating names like "Christian Democratic Party" or "Socialist Party of Chile" but not so much with "Amplitud". ("Future Sense" was moved to "Sumemos" last year.) I thought I'd check for your opinion. What do you think?

Again, good work on the copy edit, and I hope you can do some more this month. Please with your reply here. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC) I've gone ahead and requested a page move for Amplitude (political party) &rarr; Amplitud – Reidgreg (talk) 20:22, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I'm rather new and I'm happy there were only minor issues. I got really caught up with work last month, sorry about that! [[User:Lilo Rage| L i l o R a g e ]] 15:15, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
