September 2006

Thank you for experimenting with the page Esthero on Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --- The Bethling 04:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

  • You, along with everyone else who uses "popups," need to learn how to read the edit before jumping on the revert button. I fail to understand how else a sourced factual correction such as this could be mistaken for vandalism. Yet it happened twice. For goodness sake. Anonymous 57 04:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
The changes you made Esthero are really not suitable for an encyclopedia. If you want to correct or clarify the pronounciation, then please do it in a more formal way. The use of the first person is never appropriate in Misplaced Pages. I'm not going to revert it right now, since I do beleive you're attempting to improve Misplaced Pages. --- The Bethling 04:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
That's what I'm refering to. "but i'll settle for es STAIR o....you kinda gotta pronounce the 'th'....i friggin hate ES thero." Is that a quote from the artist? As it stands, it looks like it's a comment about your opinion that'd being put in, and that's why it looks like vandalism to the rest of us. --- The Bethling 04:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Yeah, it's a quote from the artist, which I thought would be obvious from the use of quotation marks and the source in parentheses directly following, standard procedure for quotes. I should know by now, though, that Misplaced Pages prides itself on its hostility to infrequent contributors such as myself. Shame on me for forgetting. Anonymous 57 04:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
There are style guides to writing in the formal tone that Misplaced Pages editors want. In this case, you'll probably want this one on pronunciation guides. As for the citation, I don't think parenthesis and quote marks alone qualify it as a reliable published source. Find something on the person's website or an interview or something. Random emails just can't be fact-checked. -- Shadowlynk 04:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
