Your edits edit

Hi. I recently reviewed some of your edits to Kusal Perera and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and found it necessary to correct them to conform with English Wikipedia's Manual of Style and proper grammar, punctuation, etc. Of particular concern are these consistent patterns in your edits:

  • Wikipedia generally follows English rules about which letters are to be capitalized; the writer cannot choose to Capitalize Every Word Like This for stylistic or other reasons. More guidance about Wikipedia's specific rules can be found at MOS:CAPS.
  • Grammar, including the correct conjugation of verbs, is an important part of English writing. For a specific meaning, you have to use the correct form of a verb (e.g. "he scored 84 runs", not "he score 84 runs"). Also, articles must be used when required by English rules (e.g. "India won the match", not "India won match").
  • The lede sentence of an article about a person should begin with the person's full name (given name and surname). After that, they are referred to by their surname only (e.g. after the lede, write "...when Perera scored...", not "...when Kusal scored...").
  • Punctuation (e.g. a "full stop" or period, comma) immediately follows the word before, without a space in between. The opposite is true for parentheses and brackets, which usually require a space before them (except in math and science formulas, which have their own rules). Punctuation should always be followed by a space (unless it's at the end of a paragraph).

I would encourage you to go back through your existing contributions to correct these issues. You can see the changes I made in the two articles mentioned above here and here.

If you don't already have the "wikEdDiff improved diff view" enabled, I suggest you enable it here under "Editing". You can then click the   button below the standard diff view to see a better one. I hope this makes sense – sorry about the complexity.

Thanks. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 02:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Editing problems edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason.

Despite the comments above (at User talk:Pawan Bariaar#Your edits), you have continued to capitalize the first letter of each word and use improper grammar (e.g. at Shikhar Dhawan and Australian cricket team in India in 2013–14).

Please stop now until you understand how to edit appropriately or can partner with someone who can help. You may be able to get help at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 01:53, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
