Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm sorry to say I removed the text you added to Split Infinitive and moved it to the talk page.

First, the encyclopedia needs to look like an encyclopedia. We shouldn't have one part of an article debating with another (though we can present the disagreements of different sources). A comment framed the way you framed yours should go at the article's talk or discussion page, and so I moved it there. The other thing you could have done would have been to remove the whole Shakespeare reference, preferably in a way that would leave the article reading smoothly, and giving your reasons at the talk page or the edit summary.

Second, I disagree with the comment&mdash;I think the Shakespeare example really is a split infinitive. If you go to the talk page, you can see my reasons and those of another editor, and you can continue discussing the matter there.

I hope you'll continue contributing, as Wikipedia needs critical eyes and civil voices. This welcome page has information that will help you get started.

Thanks. &mdash;JerryFriedman (Talk) 17:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
