Fixing errors
In the future, if you see an error in an article, either fix it or point it out on the article's talk page; do not highlight the area. I thought you were just doing so for no reason. If you can type the wikicode necessary to put in a highlight, you can fix any errors you see.--31dot 02:28, December 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I dislike errors, but I have a principle against editing on Wikia. Highlighting an error doesn't violate my principle. Highlighting the error is the next best thing to correcting it. Therefore, I highlight the error. Fix it or GTFO, don't whine about my methods, and don't be an idiot to revert my edits without fixing the underlying problem. Passive-aggressive help is still help. 8.24.2.244 02:36, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't realize at first you were pointing out a problem- that's my point. Highlighting, aside from not being SOP here, doesn't mean anything if no one else knows what it means. It also doesn't make sense to me that you are willing to type an extensive wikicode to highlight but are unwilling to put in two characters to fix an error. Have whatever principles you wish- but don't expect others to read your mind. If you want an error fixed but are unwilling to edit articles- tell someone about it either on the talk page or a regular user's page. --31dot 02:46, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
