Grammar, syntax, etc.

As a fellow editor, and as someone who'd like to see this site maintain its high standards, I implore you: please follow proper orthographic and grammatical rules when writing content for pages. I bring this up because it seems like you routinely submit edits without capitalizing the first words of sentences, e.g. the Ei Ogawa article you created. That's just one type of error though, and even using a spellchecker would catch a lot of those errors.

Obviously we all make mistakes, but this is so frequent that it just seems to be negligence. If that's the case, it's not fair to rely on other editors to fix those mistakes when you are (presumably) capable of doing it yourself. Furthermore, if you need a more personal incentive, better writing would mean fewer reversed edits and pages moved to your sandbox. If need be, please read the site's Manual of Style and Syntax pages.

Case in point about spell check, the American tagline you added here: POWERFULL... STRENGHT...

There's really no excuse for misspelling something when you have the original text in front of you. I'd also suggest you carefully review your edit before submitting, just in case you flubbed something that spell check (or whatever) didn't pick up -- in this case, had you done so, you might have realized you also typed "trail" when the word on the ad is "trial".

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

there are lots of american film taglines on wikizilla with capital letters.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

That's not the problem...

You misspelled the words "powerful" and "strength" and typed "trail" instead of "trial". Typos are usually pretty minor mistakes but I thought it was worth mentioning since, frankly, you make quite a few of them. (Also because I'd previously suggested using spell check.)

And as I said, it's much harder to excuse blatant typos when you're typing out something verbatim. That's why I suggested you proofread before submitting. Had you done that, you might have caught those obvious errors.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

i used spell check.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

And I've already addressed the possibility that spell check might not catch every misspelled word: it's not uncommon for certain spell check programs to ignore typos in caps text, for example.

Look, I understand everyone makes mistakes. "Powerfull" and "strenght" jump out to me as two particularly obvious ones, especially easy since you had the correctly-spelled words right in front of you. For the third time, this is why I suggested closer proofreading before submission, because these are the easy mistakes that someone doing frequent editing on this site needs to be able to catch.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

Also, something ironic about the statement "i used spell check" having to be edited because the original reply had a misspelled word... This is exactly what I'm talking about: there's no need to blaze through everything without making sure you've gotten all the obvious errors before you hit the submit button.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

I second this.

Allosaurus (talkcontribs)

Also, Mr. Eiga, when you add an infobox to the pages/sandboxes, please, add it's sections in the good order and with retreats.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

👍

i can't seem to take a screenshot of a Monster from Jellyfish Eyes Part 2... from the video Lost & Unreleased Kaiju Media (ft. Monster Island Buddies) 【wikizilla.org】at 19:57 / 20:38 in the videos time on my laptop can someone help me?

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

You're better off downloading the How I Was Forced to Abandon the Production of Jellyfish Eyes Part 2 videos here and screencapping those. I believe the monster you're thinking of is in episode 3.

Kohei Oguri


Look, I don't mean to nag, but this specifically is what I'm talking about. The Masahiko Katto page, before Allosaurs rewrote it, is another perfect example. Please, please, please capitalize all the appropriate words and make sure the subject and verb tenses are in agreement. There's no excuse not to.

(Sorry, didn't see Astounding's reply before I submitted this.)

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

i'm fixing up the page now...

Les (talkcontribs)
VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

Is there a way to prevent it from making me switch from visual edit to the code?

Les (talkcontribs)

Go to Special:Preferences, check "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta" under the Editing tab, and deselect "Visual editing" under the Beta features tab.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

Thanks.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

done after i made a page.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

🖖

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

I'm reopening this because this matter is not resolved, as evidenced by the Yeti article you constructed. Your synopsis isn't up to the standards of this site, so you really need to familiarize yourself with the site rules on article construction, especially in the Syntax guide.

VaderRaptor (talkcontribs)

Agreed.

The H-Man (talkcontribs)

From your Wolfman vs. Baragon page:

"Wolfman appears from behind so trees where his is abused by the Japanese military he flees and later battles Baragon at a construction site."

That's not good enough writing for this website, and frankly, I don't know what else to tell you if you don't understand why it isn't remotely up to the site's standards.

Allosaurus (talkcontribs)

So our talk was about nothing. You keep creating sandboxes you will not expand and stub pages, which were moved to your sandboxes.

Allosaurus (talkcontribs)

I put this reply in the wrong talk but anyways.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

Sorry there, al i un-followed this post soo it took a while for me to find this talk again. I'm planning to remove some of the films are that films in my sandbox then adding a good plot and moving them out or sorting out my sandbox, pages like Wolfman vs. Baragon, The Black Scorpion and The Invisible Swordsman.

Allosaurus (talkcontribs)

Good to hear that.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

i don't know how creation became a sandbox page its an unfinished film it doesn't even need a plot.

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

@Allosaurus is this improved plot good enough for a page?

A violent earthquake in Mexico inevitably creates an active volcano that erupts explosively freeing giant prehistoric scorpions from beneath the parched earth. The prehistoric monsters wreak havoc on the Mexican rural and threaten Mexico City with complete destruction.
Allosaurus (talkcontribs)

Your grammar isn't bad in these sentences at least, but that's too less. As I know, usually the plot consists of 6000+ symbols (according to what I have seen).

Kaiju No. 14 (talkcontribs)

well a few pages have short plots.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

They shouldn't, but we weren't going to demote a bunch of pages when we decided we were going to mandate full plots for new pages.

As usual, I don't understand why you're in such a rush.
