I've been seeing this problem a lot and want to know if there's a way to rephrase what I'm saying or if it's just that people read what I've written quickly.

So here's what I say: Titles of tv shows need to be in quotations.

What I get is people putting their entire quiz title in quotations.

i always type or write my questions as i think you request

so perhaps you should use an example opf what you mean.

To make it more simple, if the title of your quiz IS the television show, then it goes in quotations.

Ex: 'The Brady Bunch'

If you have something like this: WWF 'Smackdown', then only the actual television show, not the name of the company, goes in quotations.

Also, names of television shows go in quotations throughout the entire quiz, with the exception of fill in the blank answers. So if one of your questions has a television show in it, or your answer and interesting information has a television show in it, then it goes in quotations.

If someone is confused about a correction notice, please ask the editor who sent it, or another editor. We are more than happy to help anyone who asks for help. If you don't ask, we have no idea that you are confused.

Another thing, names of movies, songs, albums, CDs, comic books, books, video games, plays, and musicals also go in quotations.

However, there are exceptions to the rule. If your quiz is about the television show 'Doug', and your asking what does Doug like to do, then his name doesn't have to go in quotations. Only if it's referring to the television show.

If I can be of more help, just ask, I am always here.

I just want to add 'ditto' to what DN said about asking for help if you don't understand a notice. If you just resubmit your quiz without asking anyone, we assume you are ignoring the notices. But if you ask, we'll be more than glad to help you!
