November 2023

Hello, I'm Chaotic Enby. I noticed that you recently removed content from Flag of Puerto Rico without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

My apologies, only saw the last few edits without realizing you had been working on the page for much longer (and WP:RW rolls back all edits by the last user). Just reverted my revert, sorry. ChaotıċEnby(talk) 06:44, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. The page was a bit abandoned, so I’ve been improving it for a while now to everyone’s benefit. Tektonson (talk) 06:59, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing other peoples' talk page posts

Please don't remove other peoples' posts from article talk pages, it's disruptive and uncollegial. I have reverted the removal from the flag of PR talk page. Don't remove it again. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:29, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warning!

It was deleted by accident. I’m happy to report that the misunderstanding has been resolved.

thanks. Tektonson (talk) 10:14, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Logical Quotation

Hi,

I noticed your recent edit at "Puerto Rico" with the edit summary, "corrected periods so that they are inside quotation marks, as that's their correct placement according to English grammar". Wikipedia uses a style called "logical quotation" (read about it at WP:LQ). In short, punctuation belongs outside the quotation marks unless it belongs to the material being quoted.

Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 09:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Thanks for the information. Very interesting.

As I understand it, “logical quotation” is a distinct feature of British English. In the United States, the standard practice has been to always place punctuation marks inside quotation marks.

I wrongly assumed Wikipedia operated under rules of American English, as that is the most influential English variety used today.

Thanks. Tektonson (talk) 10:11, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. There's a whole essay on the subject at WP:LQUOTE if you have fifteen minutes to kill.

Thanks for contributing to the article Miss Puerto Rico. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

Sierra de Cayey

Linguist and translator here. Where did you read that the "correct" translation of Sierra de Cayey into English is Sierra Cayey? I'm guessing you're using the name Sierra Nevada as a template for this assumption. In the case of Sierra Nevada the noun phrase formatting consists of NOUN+ADJECTIVE (snowy mountain-range), however in Sierra de Cayey consists of NOUN+PREPOSITION+NOUN (like another mountain range in California, Sierra de Salinas) These type of local mountain range names are often not translated but playing dev's advocate, in the case they were, in English it would be either the Cayey Sierra (following a more literal NOUN+NOUN translation) or Sierra Cayeyana (if following the same example of Sierra Nevada). Cheers! :) Ligocsicnarf89 (talk) 19:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
