Logical quotation
editHello EmilyWilson2. Welcome to Wikipedia! Just wanted to drop a quick note about quotation on Wikipedia since there seemed to be some confusion at Bolsheviks and Talk:Killing of Harambe. In short, the policy at MOS:LQ says: Include terminal punctuation within the quotation marks only if it was present in the original material, and otherwise place it after the closing quotation mark.
This may be different from the style you are familiar with, but it is nonetheless the one that Wikipedia follows. Feel free to respond here if you have any questions. Cheers. Rublov (talk) 02:55, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
EmilyWilson2, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Mount Rushmore. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Roald Dahl, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 18:25, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 18:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
EmilyWilson2, please read WP:INOROUT for an explanation of Wikipedia style for punctuation and quotation marks. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, I was trying to help, but if there is another format you prefer, I will stop. Sorry for the inconvenience! EmilyWilson2 (talk) 21:13, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hey, Emily! We love it that you want to help, and we're glad you're here. Sometimes it takes a little while to figure out that another editor is trying to contact you. At the very top of the page, you'll see a bell icon. If it's got a number on it, someone's pinging you to a discussion or has left a message on your talk page.

- Awwww thank you! I felt bad yesterday for being a nuisance rather than a contributor. I found the emails asking me to stop or be blocked and I was surprised. (Oh no!) I truly thought I was helping. I have read the formatting info and see now that this is a style that’s new to me. I’ll resist fixing what is not broken! Thanks for the welcome!! EmilyWilson2 (talk) 15:19, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Emily. If you're looking for ways to contribute, a good way to get started is help the typo team fix spelling errors. Most of my early edits are in that area, and I found it a great way to get exposed to a wide variety of articles. (You'll want to review WP:ENGVAR and WP:SPELLING first, I made mistakes in the beginning because I didn't realize the differences between American English and British English and when to use each.)
