Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

The table formatting is really awful. Do you think you could join the discussion in talk towards making this section follow WP:PROSE? --John (talk) 23:23, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing awful about the formatting, why don't you keep your unnecessary thoughts to yourself, and in my opinion, it looked ten times worse beforehand and was hard to navigate. I have commented on the talk page. Dustin (talk) 23:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of making edits like these? In the time it took you to do this you could have found sources. Next time I suggest just finding sources. --John (talk) 19:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You could probably say the same regarding whoever tagged the article in the first place. Dustin (talk) 19:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

True. --John (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, I just make edits which others consider to be useless, and I guess, at least to an extent, they are right. Dustin (talk) 19:12, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I sympathise. Maybe you are a WikiGnome, like me. --John (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of adding a user box to your page. Please undo it if you do not like it. --John (talk) 21:17, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

This tablet is going nuts. I didn't think that went through. United States Man (talk) 02:32, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers

All right, I have read WP:NUMERAL. Why is this a good edit? --John (talk) 00:03, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@John: As may be read at WP:NUMERAL:

But adjacent quantities not comparable should usually be in different formats: twelve 90-minute volumes or 12 ninety-minute volumes, not 12 90-minute volumes or twelve ninety-minute volumes.

Avoid awkward juxtapositions: On April 28, 2006, thirty-one more died., not On April 28, 2006, 31 more died.

Also, I converted the second value to word-form to remain consistent within that sentence. Dustin (talk) 00:16, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I see what you were doing. I have I think a better solution. Let me see what you think of it. --John (talk) 12:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go, what do you think? --John (talk) 12:42, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Hurricane season updates

I read up on that, and it looks like you can use {{nobr}} to prevent clutter, instead of having countless {{nbsp}}. United States Man (talk) 03:25, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is that silly TfD notice. United States Man (talk) 04:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I called it a "mini edit war" and it was mostly directed at USM (but he did that in a somewhat "panicked" response to your change to the live template). 3 edits with 10 minutes to a live template is a very bad thing. You still haven't gotten the main point that actually was directed at you specifically... that being if, in the future, you ask for my help, please don't then just go ahead of me and do the change yourself. Either just do it (but test first in the sandbox), or ask me and wait for me to do it. -- Netoholic @ 05:45, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
