I'm saying it looks like you are making detrimental edits. You always seem to need the last word; you are arguing minutia points, and when people try to explain why these edits are not worth fighting over, you make a big deal about it.

Look at the lengh of this page and the other ones we have spoken on. Is all of this really worth it for a few colons and semi-colons? No. Everyone on this wiki wants to improve it and the articles, but we can't do that when someone chooses to make edits that the majority have already decided were not problems in the first place. The semi-colon and colon debate was already agreed upon, so that's the end of discussion. Az-Zur had to edit the Rithmere article four times because you wouldn't listen to him.

Once again, if you truly want to improve the wiki, make changes that are worthwile. Listen to what everyone has to say about your edits—Az-Zure and CreativeDream have been trying to help you. If these debates keep taking up time, effort, and keystrokes, then it would be best for you to just walk away.

"I'm saying it looks like you are making detrimental edits.": But that doesn't mean I am. "You always seem to need the last word; you are arguing minutia points, and when people try to explain why these edits are not worth fighting over, you make a big deal about it.": "You always seem to need the last word...", not true. "...you are arguing minutia points,...", not so minutia that other people don't seem to have a problem for some reason or other. "...and when people try to explain why these edits are not worth fighting over, you make a big deal about it.", in other words I should just accept that if there is a disagreement that everyone else is always right and I am always wrong.

"Look at the length of this page and the other ones we have spoken on. Is all of this really worth it for a few colons and semi-colons?

"The semi-colon and colon debate was already agreed upon, so that's the end of discussion.", I was told that a colon is used before a list of items, a quotation or an explanation. But when I use it in such fashion I am being berated for such. "Az-Zur had to edit the Rithmere article four times because you wouldn't listen to him.", there is a difference between not listening and not agreeing with someone.

"Once again, if you truly want to improve the wiki, make changes that are worthwhile. Listen to what everyone has to say about your edits—Az-Zure and CreativeDream have been trying to help you.

"Listen to what everyone has to say about your edits—Az-Zure and CreativeDream have been trying to help you.", listening and agreeing are not one and the same. "If these debates keep taking up time, effort, and keystrokes, then it would be best for you to just walk away.", would you do the same?
