User talk:Douvaine

Douvaine, seems it is time to start a Talk page for you, and have you welcomed to Wikipedia. It seems you have been editing for a while without benefit of your own Talk page. This is a better place to discuss your views on the use of pronouns in Wikipedia articles, I think. I hope you had a chance to read WP:PLOTSUM. It is a big help in explaining what Wikipedia expects in the summary of a fictional plot that is part of a Wikipedia article. I am sorry that having your changes reverted has so much upset you. It seemed expedient to me, so improvements could be added later, one at a time, while the extra words would be deleted, with least work. No personal attack was meant at all. The main improvements were added, by me. That is not how things have worked out, but the plot summary for Dead Man's Folly is possibly getting better without getting longer. I hope that pleases you, and we can alter the tone of this interchange to be more respectful of each other.

A point on the mechanics of Wikipedia -- when an editor wants to add a new point on a User's Talk page or the Talk page for an article, the simplest method is to click on New Section at the top of the page, and then insert your desired heading for that section in the page that Wikipedia lays out. No need to use the = signs that work so well inside an article to generate the section headings on Talk pages. --Prairieplant (talk) 05:50, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Another point on the mechanics of Wikipedia is that once you broke one paragraph into two in the plot summary, it was nearly impossible to see spelling errors you corrected by looking at the Difference between revisions, the only tool at hand. Your revisions to spelling were not separately visible after the split of the paragraph, which you can see by clicking on prev at your own revision in the history list. Only changes made before you made the new paragraph show up one by one. --Prairieplant (talk) 06:04, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
