Just curious if this is happening to anybody else, or if it's just me... half of the time anymore, whenever I post or edit a page on the wiki, I get a PM (same message each time), saying my last edits had to be removed because there was a problem with proper English, grammar, punctuaction, etc. Is this happening to anyone else? Because, I don't get it. It's not as if I'm posting entries like, "Lawl, this troper found da funnies 2 be da best part of dis movie."

Well what did your edits say?

According to Ask The Tropers, you have some grammar problems with your edits. We like proper grammar and repeated grammar errors (I notice an overusage of commas) in your edits are prompting the messaging.

We have a thread for assistance with English. We require grammatical writing here, and if your work contains repeated errors, it causes other editors to have to clean up after you. If it's persistent enough, you will lose editing privileges.
