Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Please stop removing introductory and serial commas

You are making edits in the name of grammar, but they are not improvements.

Introductory commas necessarily reflect pauses that would be there if read aloud. If you have confusion as to what these are or the introductory clauses that they set apart from the rest of a sentence, please see nps.edu/web/gwc/commas-introductory.

Serial commas are mandated by many American style guides, allowed by some style guides, and occasionaly disavowed by others. MOS:SERIAL states: Editors may use either convention so long as each article is internally consistent. Serial commas are more helpful when article text is complex, such as a list with multi-word items (especially if one contains its own "and") or a series of probably unfamiliar terms.

Now that you have been alerted, please take heed. I will regard future removal of introductory commas as disruptive. Except in a case of copyedit that obviously resolves cases of ambiguity, I also will regard your removal a serial commas without a clear explanation to be disruptive. In either case, I will advise you here with progressively higher levels of warning.

Please excuse me for be so brusque, but I do not think we can tolerate removing good puntuation in the guise of grammar correction. Peaceray (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Wien (river), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see MOS:CURLY Peaceray (talk) 22:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
