Yet you still do it. Also, the reason we believe your use of a colon is wrong is that it is extremely uncommon to use it in the explanations you've applied them to. Below are examples of how semicolons and colons are commonly used for explanations: Colon: He had two options: stay fighting or run.

Semicolon: Herbivorous; most likely fed on grass most of the time.

a semicolon is also used in an explanation where an expression like "for example" follows the semicolon. Example: She ate a lot that night; for example chicken, dumplings and bread rolls.

Your use of colons are not incorrect, but it is not common. We also need to have consistency on this wiki, and a standard, and you've shaken it a bit with all your latest edits.
