However, writing image captions on TFWiki is considered a perk of sorts for those who spend time making significant factual edits. You especially shouldn't be changing existing captions. Jalaguy (talk) 12:08, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
- Additionally, please use capital letters and punctuation when editing. Thanks. Jalaguy (talk) 12:18, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
Please learn how to use capital letters correctly. Jalaguy (talk) 18:54, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
Hi, your additions to the Age of Extinction page have problems with spelling, punctuation and grammar, which is why they keep being removed. Information needs to be presented in a clear manner or the readers will not be able to understand what happened in the movie. As an example, you added the sentence "The Autobots scored a huge victory when Megatron was slained by Optimus prime." - here Prime should start with a capital P and "slained" should be "slew", as slain is not a verb. The sentence following that one "The problem is the battle caused the lives of thousands of people." means the exact opposite of what it should mean. --abates (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
- Thanks for the advise :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MetroPlex71 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.
- I'm sorry, but what you are adding is still not grammatically correct, and in some cases the detail you have added is not what happened in the movie. The image you uploaded with pictures of dead Autobots is fanart and not official Paramount material. I'm going to suggest you please let someone else write a synopsis for Age of Extinction. --abates (talk) 20:51, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
- Seriously, you need to stop. You're edits are filled with grammatical and spelling errors, and despite asking you to let someone else edit the summary, you keep on doing it. Please stop. Escargon (talk) 22:20, 3 July 2014 (EDT)

- Perhaps I was a bit harsh, but there's still capitilization errors. In your most recent post, you decapitilize Ratchet, a proper noun, and you capitilize killing, when it's not after a period. Escargon (talk) 22:55, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
- I wished that people just edit it not delete it. That makes me feel that I'm nothing to this wiki. User:MetroPlex71
Please do not copy and paste text from other sites. A good portion of the text you added to the Age of Extinction page is copied from the Wikipedia synopsis. --abates (talk) 23:29, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
- Accuser I never even COPIED from it I wrote it for hours and hours and it gets deleted for an illogical reason. JeezUser:MetroPlex71
- You're going to deny you copied this from another site? OK. Your synopsis has the line: "In rural Texas, struggling inventor Cade Yeager and his friend Lucas Flannery purchase an old semi-truck in hopes of stripping it down and selling the parts to get Cade's daughter Tessa Yeager into college." The synopsis on the Wikia's AOE page has the line: "In rural Texas, struggling robotics inventor Cade Yeager and his friend Lucas Flannery purchase an old semi-truck in hopes of stripping it down and selling the parts to get Cade's daughter Tessa into college." If you wrote the synopsis you added yourself, how is it word for word what is on that other site? --abates (talk) 23:47, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
I understand you are frustrated at the text you are adding being removed, but please bear in mind that you are just starting out on the wiki, and jumping in to write the synopsis for a major motion picture straight away is like turning up to a music class and trying to play a symphony your first time out. When starting out at something, you need to start out small until you get better at things. Copying text from other sites is not the answer, and is expressly against the rules of this wiki. --abates (talk) 00:55, 4 July 2014 (EDT)
- I'd also like to add, with regards to your request that people edit rather than delete your text, that the only person whose job it is to correct your writing is you. Unless they're feeling exceptionally kind, other editors don't want to spend their valuable time correcting other people's grammar, and TFWiki would rather have no summary than a summary containing multiple errors. If you don't want the content you write to be removed, put the time and effort in yourself to make sure it's error-free. Pasting it into a word-processor with spelling and grammar check is a good start; having a friend proof-read it is even better. Jalaguy (talk) 03:42, 4 July 2014 (EDT)

Please check your spelling and grammar when editing. People will just revert your edits rather than spend time clearing up after you. Jalaguy (talk) 10:52, 5 July 2014 (EDT)
Do not take screencaps from pirated versions of the film
