From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howdy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Just a heads up, there's no reason to anglicize or de-anglicize text in articles like you did on Progress spacecraft. This is an english Wikipedia, not just USA, so the funny looking spellings they use over there are A-OK. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:45, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

There's also no need to use a singular verb for a plural noun, as you did here and here. If these are well-intentioned mistakes, I ask you to please be more careful. If you are deliberately adding incorrect grammar, please stop. Ward3001 (talk) 15:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing other editors' comments on talk pages

Although I am assuming good faith on your part, it's not a good idea to make changes to other editors' comments on talk pages, even spelling and grammatical errors, as you did to User talk:Ward3001. You may end up inadvertently changing the meaning of something since it is not your original writing. But no harm done this time. Ward3001 (talk) 20:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

"I wish I knew how to repond to these criticisms.": My statement immediately above is not a criticism; just a friendly suggestion to help you avoid trouble in the future.

"The Beatles" is the name of a group. So, "Beatles is" in that context is correct.": I'm not sure to which specific context you refer. Your statement "'The Beatles' is the name of the group" certainly is grammatically correct. If you mean that in general the singular verb should be used, although I respect your opinion, you're in a minority on this one. If you look at common usage in respected publications, you are far more likely to see plural used. Each of them was a Beatle, and collectively it simply sounds better to a native English speaker to say that The Beatles are performing rather than The Beatles is performing.
