Revision as of 13:08, 1 June 2010

A few observations

I've noticed several things about the articles you edit and I wanted to bring them to your attention:

  1. Parentheticals: I find too many of these in the articles you edit. I don't know if you are adding them or if someone else is, but they need to be kept to a bare minimum. If you must, use footnotes instead.
  2. Excessive use of inline citations: One citation at the end of a sentence or paragraph is fine, but multiple citations don't work well when it comes to readability. You may combine citations into one reference to solve this problem, but you should consider that multiple citations are often the sign of other problems at work (but not always).
  3. Placement of cites: Should appear after punctuation with no spacing
  4. Lead section: Use the lead to summarize the main points of the article in a way that benefits the reader and does not focus on trivia

That's it for now. More later. Viriditas (talk) 00:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

WP:ANI ban discussion

Due to your unwillingness to participate in attempts to reach a voluntary agreement with you regarding your writing, I have proposed that you be banned from editing here. The discussion is at WP:ANI. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I see that you are continuing to post your question on a number of talk pages. Please, reconsider. This in itself is likely to get you into trouble, as your message is not neutral and may be interpreted as attempting to sway the outcome of the ban discussion. --Moonriddengirl 12:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
