Talk:Perfect Tenses
From Wikigogy
David, thanks for adding this page! Nicely done. I have edited it to help as I can. Hope this helps. Here's how I have helped:
- Headings start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title. See Text#Organizing_your_writing
- Moved heading Uses of perfect tenses to the article summary because there are no other similar level headings in the article yet. When there is only one heading at a given level it is better absorbed into the parent heading, in this case that would be the page title, or into body text under that parent heading which is what I did in this case -- I made it the first phrase in the article summary at top.
- I am also working on simplifying the wiki markup you used but I am not satisfied with what I have done along that line yet. So work in progress for that is on a separate page, here: Perfect tense. I am still learning how we can do this myself. :-) Glad to have you working on wikigogy.org!

- Hello Roger! This was actually my first attempt at any kind of wiki page. I'm keen to contribute more but I'll have to develop my knowledge of how these sites work first! Suggestion: As my page was a summary rather than a lesson plan, how about setting up a grammar reference section? This could act as a useful tool for teachers and students alike. --MrDavid 19:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- David, you and I are both learing how this works. I have only been doing it for two months myself. Glad to have your help. As for setting up a grammar reference section, just go ahead and write whatever kind of pages you wish and we will give them keyword and Category labels to describe them as best we can. I will help. We can create new keywords and categories as needed. Note that I trim plural s off of keyword and category tags as well as page names as a matter of site style. That's why the version of your Perfect tense page that I am experimenting with is named Perfect tense. Oh, and we are using sentence case instead of title case for page names and page headings. See new page#Good page name. Glad to have your help! :-) --Roger 21:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- David, I think I've made some improvements in this version Perfect tense. Your use of colon (:) to indent the examples is working well. Nicely done. So I have followed that style. I just did some smaller changes like
- moved "e.g." to the line above the examples instead of having it start the first example
- removed plural s from some headings and the page name
- put "yet", "still" and some other words into literal quote marks and used italics instead for your descriptive phrases about the grammar and bold for grammar labels.
- If you like this Perfect tense version of the page, please let me know. I can then delete the Perfect Tenses version and you can work further with the new version. Hope this helps! Thanks for using wikigogy! :-) --Roger 01:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
