Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/15595 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: stefan nagtegaal Reported by: bertboerland@www.drop.org Updated by: stefan nagtegaal -Status: active +Status: patch Setting status to Patch. stefan nagtegaal Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 14, 2005 - 15:59 : bertboerland@www.drop.org *My* drupal not *Yours*! I think that when one addresses the user or the administrator of a site, it is best to do this outside in instead of inside out. So when in the documentation the coder is referring to the site of the administrator, this site should be called "your site" (/inside out/) but "my site" (/outside in/). There are numours examples where the text in referring to "your"where "my"would be apopriate [1] There used to be some "your" in the userinterface for the enduser as well, but that has been solved in 4.5. Before that you had "my account", but "track your postings". This has now all beens replaced by "my"and "mine". If everybody agrees, lets also corect this for the administrator as well; my administrator, not yours ;-) [1] examples: admin/logs/referrers "...that point to your web site." admin/settings "General configuration options for your site" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 19, 2005 - 18:36 : stefan nagtegaal We should consistently use the 'passive voice', when returning messages using form_set_error() and drupal_set_message(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 22, 2005 - 14:05 : stefan nagtegaal Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_set_message consistency part 1 of 2 (51.16 KB) first patch of 2 to make the drupal_set_message(), form_set_error() and watchdog() messages more consistent. please review/comment and apply..
