Please STOP changing straight quotation marks, which are correct, to curly ones, which are incorrect, as is explained at MOS:STRAIGHT - Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 08:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@Arjayay Thank you for calling this to my attention. I appreciate it. It's a little surprising, but if that's the style, then I'll follow that. Once again, I appreciate you pointing this out. Qreligious (talk) 18:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@Qreligious, I recommend skimming our Wikipedia:Manual of Style, as there continues to be several types of edits you're making that contravene it: specifically, we use logical quotation, and both spaced en dashes and unspaced em dashes are equally acceptable.

@Arjayay Thanks and your guidance is helpful. I read through the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and particularly MOS:CONFORM. I am aware that both uses (of spaced en dashes and unspaced em dashes) are acceptable. However I was mostly working to make the use of such consistent within each article. I feel that such changes, while small, make an article more readable and consistency gives a better experience to the reader. I apologize if an edit I made was incorrect. I'll pay close attention to the Manual of Style as I contribute further. My hope is simply to improve the readability and user experience. Thank you again.

Commas

Based on the edit you made in Religious Technology Center, I'd like to direct you to the guidelines about punctuation placement for quotes, MOS:QUOTECOMMA. There are different styles of punctuating, and QUOTECOMMA describes the acceptable method used within Wikipedia.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

"Removed dead link"

It's not a dead link, it's a red link. Red links to notable topics are recommended as they encourage people to make articles about them in the future. Don't remove them unless you are sure the topic isn't notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:41, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

You did that again. Please stop. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:31, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you pointing this out. I will go ahead and revert those back to "Red links" and will not remove such in the future. Thank you for noting this. Qreligious (talk) 18:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Hidden notes in your recent edits

@Qreligious:

1. Do not leave "hidden notes" in articles like you did recently in the article Religious Technology Center, here and here. Discussions and notes should be put on talk pages. See Help:Talk pages.
2. Do not disparage living people without a citation to a reliable source, as you did in the second edit (this one). See WP:Biographies of living persons which includes the sentence "BLP applies to all material about living persons anywhere on Wikipedia, including talk pages, edit summaries, user pages, images, categories, lists, article titles and drafts."
3. In the first comment, you wrote you have "been in Scientology before". And then the second comment seems based on a hate-website published by the Church of Scientology. (I won't link to it here.) This is inconsistent, in my opinion.
4. Lastly, any website published by the Church of Scientology is not a very reliable source. It is considered self-published and self-serving. You may cite from such websites only for straightforward non-contentious statements of fact (for example, "ARC stands for affinity, reality, communication". But you may not use such websites to repeat any opinion, accusations or propaganda.

@Grorp, thanks.

1. Understood on hidden notes. Your guidance regarding talk pages helps.
2. I completely agree with not disparaging living persons. I assumed wrong that an invisible comment was not the same situation. I'll keep my notes separate and will use the talk pages, and will be sure to cite reliable sources.
3. Sure. I've got no skin in the game. You say "hate-website". I'm just talking about a deposition I saw on YouTube or X when I was looking up info about the person.
4. Good to know.

Your changes of punctuation could be wrong

For example this edit: [1] fixes punctuation, but for example the text

• "has been commonly used by members, the public, and the news media." - former state was correct

• "has been commonly used by members, the public and the news media." - current state is incorrect

Please refer to rules on "serial comma" called sometimes an "Oxford comma". Looks like you are doing the same thing in multiple articles multiple times... please fix it for future edits. Tarylem (talk) 16:06, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Tip: More info, with examples, is available in Wikipedia's Manual of Style: MOS:SERIAL.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:44, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, @Tarylem. I was aiming to improve consistency of the use of commas before conjunctions. But I'll pay closer attention to ensure correct use in any future edits. I appreciate you pointing this out. @Grorp, once again, I appreciate any tips. Qreligious (talk) 17:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
