Recent edits by GrouchMan
Some (but not all) of the recent edits by GrouchMan have not been constructive to the article, and he seems to be restoring them after I change them back. I will list some examples here and why I disagree with them.
- If you check the history, several commas have been removed from this article, as well as in Episode 3037 and Episode 4160. I've put them back where I think they belong, and pointed this out on his talk page.
- "... who prefer to live wherever there is trash-trash cans, ..." - a hyphen inbetween the two uses of the word, "trash-trash" makes it look like its own word. Also, the more synonyms we have for "trash," the better the article will look.
- "A Grouch's mission in life is to be as miserable and Grouchy as possible" - there doesn't need to be a capital G on the word "grouchy" - it is an adjective, not a noun.
I am not trying to discourage anyone from editing, but I notice this has turned into an edit war of sorts, so I hope this discussion of the problem helps resolve it, and that it will help users understand how to make proper edits. --MuppetVJ 19:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- User:GrouchMan has been making a mix of helpful and strange edits all over the grid. I've opened up the door for communication with him, so I hope to have some feedback soon. In any event, I agree with your reversions and I anticipate we can take this out of timeout soon with or without his response. —Scott (talk) 21:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Attention
Grouches are such an important part of Sesame Street culture; and I think this page needs some work. This could be fun project. I can envision this being akin to Snuffleupaguses, The River, and others. I'd like to see this become an in-depth look at the Grouch culture and phenomena (more than just some lists). I'm no Grouch expert, nor do I have many good Grouchy resources, but I'm sure some of you could do it. -- Brad D. (talk) 05:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
