Try to take better care in your grammar when editing. Looking at [[Special:Diff/2612012|this edit]] as an example, the sentence you added at the end here: "''Luigi has to enter the Terrace at the start of the mission to see [[King Boo]] open the [[paranormal portal]], then defeat a huge horde of ghosts here at the end to save his dimension from collapsing''', the portal is seen but cannot be entered.'''''" is grammatically incorrect, as this forms a {{wp|run-on sentence}}. In cases like this, you need to start a new sentence or use a semicolon or conjunction, not join it with the previous sentence using a comma. | |||
e.g. | |||
<blockquote>''Luigi has to enter the Terrace at the start of the mission to see [[King Boo]] open the [[paranormal portal]], then defeat a huge horde of ghosts here at the end to save his dimension from collapsing'''. T'''he portal is seen but cannot be entered.</blockquote> | |||
Also, when naming titles like, please remember to ''italicise'' them so it's formatted ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' (<code><nowiki>''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''</nowiki></code>), not [[Luigi's Mansion 3]] (<code><nowiki>[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]</nowiki></code>) (see [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles]], though I recommend giving the whole page a read). Thanks and keep contributing. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:14, 27 February 2019 (EST) | |||

Grammar
Try to take better care in your grammar when editing. Looking at this edit as an example, the sentence you added at the end here: "Luigi has to enter the Terrace at the start of the mission to see King Boo open the paranormal portal, then defeat a huge horde of ghosts here at the end to save his dimension from collapsing, the portal is seen but cannot be entered." is grammatically incorrect, as this forms a run-on sentence. In cases like this, you need to start a new sentence or use a semicolon or conjunction, not join it with the previous sentence using a comma.
e.g.
Luigi has to enter the Terrace at the start of the mission to see King Boo open the paranormal portal, then defeat a huge horde of ghosts here at the end to save his dimension from collapsing. The portal is seen but cannot be entered.
Also, when naming titles like, please remember to italicise them so it's formatted Luigi's Mansion 3 (''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''), not Luigi's Mansion 3 ([[Luigi's Mansion 3]]) (see MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles, though I recommend giving the whole page a read). Thanks and keep contributing.
