Sorry! I must have put it in the wrong article. Too many windows open! But thanks for the tips - I'm pretty new to this. TinyMark18:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
The Hooters
A comma goes before the quotation marks, not after. Hence, it was grammatically incorrect.
Do not leave offensive messages on the talk pages of editors as this can be construed to be vandalism and could lead to your being blocked from editing on Wikipedia. SouthFerryRoad21:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
It is not standard practice to reply on one's own talk page, but on the talk page of the person who left the message. Next point, you made a grammatical mistake and it was removed; but rather than accepting it, you decided to leave a rude message, somehow implying that I changed it for other reasons. No, it was changed because it was grammatically incorrect. You are again leaving an offensive message on my talk page, implying threatening behavior. Stop this now or it will be reported as userspace vandalism, discussion page vandalism, as well as falling under the auspices of a personal attack. SouthFerryRoad22:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey. I contributed something to this article and someone else " vandalised" it by rearranging my text, which was perfectly lucid and grammatically correct. I don't see why I should put up with someone changing my style for a style of their own, and then complaining as if they had made the contribution in the first place. And I have certainly not deleted any information from this article. I'm not giving up on this one. Especially not because the other person involved has no respect for the fact that we are all unique, which includes us expressing ourselves differently and going to different schools - possibly even in different countries and in different decades. If the other party had written what he changed my text to I would never have dreamt of changing it, so I would expect the same respect from him/her. TinyMark07:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
And how are you going to do that? If you were a Sysop you would be using an account. Identify yourself or please, please leave me alone. TinyMark08:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism is reported and abusers are blocked. By engaging in edit warring, including constantly putting back incorrect spelling and formatting, constitutes violations of Wikipedia policy and is considered vandlism. If you continue to engage in disruptive edits, you will be blocked from editing. 128.241.46.23208:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to The Hooters, you will be blocked from editing. 86.138.210.6808:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I can use multiple computers as well, you know. There are neither spelling mistakes nor grammatical errors and I demand that my contribution be left alone. With regard to the comma in the date check out Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#DatesTinyMark08:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Ah ha. So you guys are ganging up on me, but refusing to acknowledge anything I say or any Wikipedia link I direct you to. No respect for peoples origins and schooling? TinyMark08:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Let me explain some things to you before you get blocked by Wikipedia within a few hours. "Satellite" is spelled like this. Miami Vice is italicized, not in quotation marks. The title of the episode is in quotation marks, not italicized. That is the correct format, grammar and spelling. If you continue to change this and engage in edit warring, you will be blocked from editing. 86.138.210.6808:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
My dispute was not the fact of the formatting, described above, but the entire rearrangement of my contribution, which, as I linked to above, is a "slap in the face". Oops, I see I lost a quotation mark there, sorry. Are we done now? I'mn tired of this! TinyMark08:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm also 100% convinced that the comma belongs outside the quotes because it is a part of the sentence and not a part of the episode title. TinyMark08:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
As a general rule? Yes. But this is not speech it is a title! As I said before, you guys just say stuff you believe to be true, while entirely ignoring any logical proposal I put forward. I have forwarded a request for a definitive position on this to be included in the Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style as I feel this is something people would be disagreeing on for a long time.
