Formatting
When you add notes like "Flashback" or "Background" in Appearances articles, can you please use the <font size=1; color=black>('''Note:''' Flashback)</font> syntax so the note looks like "(Note: Flashback)" instead of "Flashback"? Chekhov MacGuffin talk 05:11, 3 October 2014 (CEST)
- If you forget or don't know how to use it, you can copy the codes from other places in the article, or from another similar article. But please stick to the original format. --- Black ★ Demon 16:13, 3 October 2014 (CEST)
Incomprehensible English and plot summaries
Please understand that I am not trying to hurt your feelings by saying this, I am just stating plain fact. Your English writing is very poor. If there were just a few grammar and word mistakes it would be fine, but everything that you write has many, many mistakes that someone else must fix. It is good that you are enthusiastic and willing to dedicate time to filling in the parts of the wiki that are empty, but the plot summaries that you write aren't helpful because they are too hard for someone who speaks English to read. It would be best if you worked on the parts of the wiki that don't require writing much English. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 06:26, 10 September 2015 (CEST)
- Frayton, I am sorry, but I had to undo your edit in The Mysterious Passenger. The reason why I reverted your edit is because what you wrote was not understandable to an English speaker. If it were just a few mistakes I wouldn't delete what you wrote, but the grammar, spelling, and punctuation were completely wrong. It is so badly written that the page has become worse rather than better. You should work on improving your English fluency before you try to write plot summaries again. I can help you find other things to work on that don't require knowing so much English if you like. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 04:21, 11 September 2015 (CEST)
- I have been thinking about this since yesterday, but maybe there is a way to improve your English edits so that they are more readable. I want you to be able to contribute equal to your good intentions. One resource is the language section on the main forum here. There are other learn-English resources online. They can help you spot potential errors in your writing. Another option is to use the sandbox or a user subpage so that you can take your time getting an edit perfect without interference from anyone else. I don't know if you are using a machine like google to help you translate, but it might be useful for verb tenses, spelling, and punctuation. I wouldn't rely on a machine for anything detailed, but it may help quite a bit since you know some English already. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 23:56, 11 September 2015 (CEST)
