Dips (Exercise)
The article on dips, in addition to being incorrect on matters pertaining to muscular mechanics, does not show proper subject/verb agreement throughout. A "person" is singular and "their" is plural. You cannot say, "A person supports their weight," if the antecedent of the pronoun "their" is "person". That is not proper grammar.
WikiPedia most certainly does NOT support this absurd non-grammatical nonsense. The website you listed was
WP:GNL
but that website says that it is acceptable to use "they" and "their" when pluralizing both subject AND predicate, not just one or the other. Read the link! It says: "Pluralizing (not “A player starts by taking up his position”, but “Players start by taking up their positions”), although this can be problematic where the text needs to emphasize individuals, or where it creates a need to switch regularly between singular and plural."
What you have written is simply bad grammar and Wikipedia does not endorse it. Please read the discussion page and contribute there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raoulduke25 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I will try to rewrite the article and preserve both aspects that Wikipedia wants. But then there is also the issue of the involvement of the latissimi dorsi (which contribute nothing to the execution of a dip). Sorry if I came across a bit harsh.

Hi Inhumandecency! Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. I put "sources" and "wikify" tags but i removed it because i wasn't sure it was 100% appropriate. That's the reason why it only appears in the history (I guess you understand now). For more information, see
WP:SOURCE, which contains guidelines and tags. Don't be afraid to take a look at wikipedia guidelines related articles, there is a lot of useful information for newcomers who want to improve the encyclopedia (like you). I'm not a wikipedia expert but you can drop me a line if you have more questions. Salut! :) Frédérick Lacasse 13:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply

Re: slime quote
yeah, good sources on obscure things can be tough to find. usually if you just mess around with google long enough though, youll find what you need. i hope the slime article continues to grow. Evaunit666 01:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
