Another request he ignored.

It looks like you're composing some of your contributions in Microsoft Word or a similar word processor and then pasting them into the wiki. While this normally wouldn't be a problem, by default Word and its imitators convert apostrophes and double quotes (', ", ") into their "curved" typographic equivalents (’, “, ”). This causes problems when they are used in links and for markup, as the wiki software does not recognize them -- for example, I just had to fix a case where you inserted [[Achilles' Heel]] as [[Achilles’ Heel]], resulting in Achilles’ Heel instead of Achilles' Heel.

In general we have been very happy with your contributions to the wiki, and if you could please be careful about this we would be even happier. I'd suggest turning off this feature in your word processor (if it is at all possible) when composing text for the wiki.

Ok, sure.

I did get slightly frustrated with this wikia at first but I’m not feeling frustrated at the moment.

If you use LibreOffice (I believe there is an official extension for Microsoft Word as well), there is an extension that saves your work in MediaWiki suitable formatting to avoid issues, I recommend making sure you have that before submitting it here.

MS Word: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12298

LibreOffice: MediaWiki Publisher extension should be integrated into latest versions
