Template talk:Howtoedit

Awkward phrase
editprotected Trivial awkward phrasing:
 * You may use on the talk page to ask for an administrator to make an edit for you.

 * I think it is not particularly awkward. Removing the word for makes the sentence imply that you are somehow directly asking an administrator, which isn't true; you are making a request for administrative assistance. If it needs to be rephrased, I would say "You may use editprotected on the talk page to ask for an edit to be made by an administrator." CMummert · talk 01:41, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I do think it's a touch awkward, and I don't think the distinction is important; but it's also too trivial to waste anybody's time debating. There are far more needy articles out there. (tl'ing template.) | Pat 04:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
