thanks.Keith-264 (talk) 08:21, 2 September 2014 (UTC) Thanks for letting me know, Keith-264! I'll have to further educate myself on the differences between hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes since I've always just treated something unspaced as a hyphen and something spaced as a dash. The Wikipedia page on dashes states the following: "In most uses of en dashes, such as when used in indicating ranges, they are closed up to the joined words. It is only when en dashes take the role of em dashes – for example, in setting off parenthetical statements such as this one – that they take spaces around them." It's interesting that Wikipedia itself would say something different in its MoS.JustAMuggle (talk) 00:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
a note about unitsAccording to the Manual of Style, a non-breaking space or {{nowrap}} should be used to prevent a linebreak between a unit of measurement and its quantity. Refer to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Unit_names_and_symbols. Therefore you should not have removed the non-breaking spaces in Lake Berryessa. Would you kindly put them back? If you have questions, I'm here to help. —Stepheng3 (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Mojave DesertHi, Pocketthis! If you'll read this page on restrictive clauses, it might help clear up why there needs to be a comma after "Las Vegas" in this sentence: "The Mojave metropolitan areas include Las Vegas which is the largest city in the Mojave with a metropolitan population of around 1.9 million in 2006; Lancaster, the largest California city in the desert; and over 850,000 people live in areas of the Mojave attached to the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, including Palmdale and Lancaster, (referred to as the Antelope Valley), Victorville, Apple Valley and Hesperia (referred to as the Victor Valley) attached to the Inland Empire metropolitan area, the 14th largest in the nation; and St. George in the northeastern-most part of the Mojave." Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! JustAMuggle (talk) 06:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Nope, no red face here, Pocketthis. Looking at the differences in edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mojave_Desert&diff=627289978&oldid=627289799) and the updated page, it appears that you did remove that comma (and reinsert the colon after "includes"). If not, please kindly let me know what I'm missing. I don't want to make this mistake again if it is indeed the case. Concerning the comma before "including," I was taught/had thought that a comma before "including" was always necessary because it introduces a nonrestrictive clause. What I'm looking up online seems to support this, but I'm not positive. Thanks for creating my user page! I always thought it was just red because it was my own. :] (P.S. I hope "your just a muggle" was tongue in cheek after "Grammar is one of my strong points." ;)) JustAMuggle (talk) 22:10, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Nice edit there on your earlier post, Pocketthis. ;) Thanks for clearing everything up! JustAMuggle (talk) 17:55, 29 September 2014 (UTC) Attention: Potions in Harry Potter will be placed for AfD on June 4, 2016(You are receiving this notice due to your having made some edits to the article discussed or its talk page sometime during its history) In November of 2007 Potions in Harry Potter was deleted as a the result of a deletion discussion due to its failure of WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, WP:WAF, and other issues. On June 4, 2015 the article was recreated from content then currently existing on the Magical objects in Harry Potter article. A discussion followed regarding the appropriateness of the recreation. An attempt was made to return this article to a redirect, which was undone a day later. Some months later, a notice was placed on the article's talk page indicating the article would be placed for deletion. A few days ago, the article was placed for proposed deletion. This too was undone. Throughout the history of the article, which spans more than a decade, it has never had any references. It has always been written in in-universe style. No outside universe perspective has ever been provided. As of June 2016, it will have been tagged for both of these problems for a year. I have asked, begged, and pleaded with people to rewrite this article to no avail. As the article stands (and has always stood), it continues to fail WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, and WP:WAF. There have been suggestions to merge the content back to Magical objects in Harry Potter, but this completely fails to address the failures noted. Where the content exists, either in its own article or as part of another, matters not. The issue is the content itself. Barring a massive rewrite of the entire article into something that is encyclopedic in its treatment of the subject, I will be placing it for deletion on June 4, 2016. This notice is being sent as a last ditch attempt to find one or more people willing to do something to fix the serious problems extant in this content. Thank you for your attention, --Hammersoft (talk) 17:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC) CaixaBank Moved!Hello, I moved Caixabank to CaixaBank per your request. It looks like the redirect had edit history which is why you were unable to perform the move. You can move over redirects only when there is not edit history involved from multiple editors typically. Glad I was able to take care of it for you though! -- Dane talk 22:42, 3 October 2017 (UTC) April 2018 If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ad Orientem (talk) 20:57, 4 April 2018 (UTC)Huh? JustAMuggle (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: What's "block evasion"? How did I "intentionally evade a block"? What did I do? Was this put here by mistake? Was I blocked by mistake? All I do is improve Wikipedia by fixing typos and grammar and adding conversions and links on the pages I'm reading... I read the blocking/evasion section and the Guide to Appealing Blocks, and I haven't violated any of the policies listed. I haven't done any vandalizing or anything. I only have one account, and I'm not reverting other people's edits. If I'm somehow doing anything wrong, just let me know and I'll stop doing it, but I was given no previous warning or indication. The last interaction I had with Pocketthis was in September 2014, when we discussed comma usage on the Mojave Desert page, but it says when I try to edit a page that I evaded blocks by that user? Can you help me out, Ad Orientem? I legit have no idea what is going on or what could have caused this, and I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to how Wikipedia works beyond editing pages, so I'm not even sure I'm drafting this response correctly or in the right place.

You made a lot of mistakesI don't have the time to go through each and every one of your mistakes, but most of your edits were wrong. (I do concur that "nonprofit" is the correct spelling, though.) Here are a few illustrative ones: "Later, Garfield also credited Ordway with coming up with the general idea of prepayment for industrial healthcare, and explained that he did not know much at the time about other similar health plans except for the Ross-Loos Medical Group." You deleted the "and" before "explained", which created a run-on sentence. In formal written English, especially American English, U.S. is still far more common in American newspapers of record and major newsmagazines, not US. British English began to drop the periods about four or five decades ago. There has been a trend towards eliding "health care" to "healthcare" for about 30 years. For example, Modern Healthcare magazine. "Has faced", the current wording, is more precise than "received." "Received" is what happens when one submits criticism through a Web form directly to a business's customer service department. WP generally doesn't cover such private criticism because that's what Yelp is for. "Has faced" more accurately describes the situation here: KP has faced public criticism. The connotation of "has faced" is more confrontational than "received," which is what makes it the better word choice under the circumstances. All experienced writers always check for appropriate connotation and denotation when choosing words. "Then" when used as an adjective to refer to the holder of a position at a previous point in time is usually linked to the title of the position by a hyphen. --Coolcaesar (talk) 21:06, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Edits to Patellar tendonHi JustAMuggle! I noticed that you made an edit to Patellar tendon, removing a comma. Would you mind explaining why? Thanks! Bibeyjj (talk) 22:01, 18 March 2021 (UTC) ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
Middle-earth editsHi, I've seen some of your Middle-earth article edits, and it seems to me that you have an approach to punctuation that simply doesn't work for the style of British English which he project uses. I've accordingly made some reverts and hope not to have to keep on doing so. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:36, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
National varieties of English
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used. In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can visit the help desk. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 21:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

This is exactly the issue raised by Chiswick Chap in the #National varieties of English section above, and I'm sorry to see that you are continuing to ignore MOS:ENGVAR. British English, for example, does not use a capital letter after a colon. You've also created confusion by inconsistently changing tenses. MichaelMaggs (talk) 17:29, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
The same applies to Sylvie and Bruno and to Lewis Carroll. I suggest that you avoid attempting to make grammatical or punctuation edits to articles written in British English MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
British EnglishRather like the editors have requested above, please don’t change the punctuation on articles in BrEng. Punctuation and phrasing differs between the two, and A Christmas Carol is a featured article written in British English, meaning it’s been through two high-level community review processes to ensure it fits fully within the MOS. - SchroCat (talk) 20:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
