Re: Editing tips
I just got your message regarding the Battlestations Midway thing. I admit - I have next to no idea what I'm doing. Really what I'm doing is stealing code from the other pages, seeing what it does in Preview, and seeing if I like what it does. I know very little about coding to make stuff like tables, so that's where the copypasta stuff goes in. I only copy the tables, obviously, and not their data =P

So yeah, I didn't even know that those did anything, so a list of my main errors would be useful and I could go back and edit them out. --Arrow 11:35, 29 November 2007 (CST)

I brushed it through, but I have yet to read it through throughly. I've mainly read it for the code I need for major stuff...like getting images to work for instance. --Arrow 11:44, 29 November 2007 (CST)

Thanks :)
Thank you man :) Feels good ^_^  Procyon (Talk) 12:20, 30 November 2007 (CST)

Your advice
Thanks for your help, I'll thoughtfully read the guide you gave me to avoid further mistakes. One question remains, though. I didn't make the whole Aquaria guide, I just added the "Forms" page for the guide. Do I have to add a special [[category:...] tag to my sub-page?

Ok, thank you very much for getting things straight. Sorry again for my mistakes. Oh and, my old images without tags are still in the database and I don't know how to delete them (the guide didn't seem to have information about image deletion). Do you guys have to delete them or is there a way for me to do it myself?

errors
Template:MapleStory/Versions/Areas, among others, is giving errors for all the refs. Not exactly sure what happened, as it wasn't an editing mistake or anything like that, so I figured it was best to bring it to your attention.--IsaacGS 01:56, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Mucho respect
lol, thank you :) I was afraid I might have lost that respect by putting a welcome note and a thank you to Nacht on his user page instead of his user talk page.  If you hadn't welcomed him, I never would have realized the mistake, cuz I was like, "hey, I thought I welcomed him…"  But yeah, I've been favoring those ellipsis for a while now.  You have definitely affected my writing style, and for the better :)  btw, did you see what Nacht wrote on my talk page? How cool is that? Procyon (Talk) 20:35, 11 January 2008 (CST)

Community Issues December Archive
Hey DB, it's time to make the archive (year's over, posts date back to October). Either instruct me on how to do it, or do it yourself (or do both so I can see the final product, selection process, etc.). I assume you cut the content from the main page and just paste it into the archive page, but I dunno. Thanks, -- 20:29, 12 January 2008 (CST)

Catch 'em all page
Hi DrBob. It's true that I used that section of the guide as a basis for that page. I altered some things as I went along. The guide is out of print, and the publisher is out of business, and the wording is not exact, just the organization and the tables, since the information was complete and concise. So I'm not sure if there is a legal issue. More of the text could be modified if necessary. Procyon (Talk) 07:43, 14 January 2008 (CST)

BSM?
I was wondering why you reverted the all-caps thing. The all-caps thing is present on all the other pages, so I figured it should be the same on the other page too. >.> --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 13:15, 15 January 2008 (CST)


 * I actually got the idea off of the FF8 strategy guide, so recommend you check others too >.> --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 14:33, 15 January 2008 (CST)

Usage of fraction symbols
I don't think we should use them because in browsers like Firefox, you can't even tell what the denominator is (⅓ looks like ½) - see for the change you reverted. -- 16:56, 15 January 2008 (CST)


 * They're tiny so you can't see the difference between 2 and 3, even after increasing the text size 10 times they are hardly distinguishable - I'm using 1024x768 resolution. -- 17:12, 15 January 2008 (CST)


 * There's clearly a difference (3 pixels to be exact), but look at it! http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8616/firefoxfractionswv0.png -- 17:38, 15 January 2008 (CST)


 * I agree, ⅓ looks like ½, unless you have a huge monitor and perfect eyesight (I have neither). Philcha 03:08, 17 January 2008 (CST)

TA manual
Fair point that users may have lost the paper manual (I haven't found mine yet) - I've edited to delete "it is assumed ..." and insert download link for manual. The time it would take to duplicate it here (complete with pics) could be better used in other ways. Philcha 03:08, 17 January 2008 (CST)

TF2 medic section
Hi. Sorry I haven't contributed after finishing the Chamber 19 portal walkthrough, but I've been a little busy at school.

I'm writing to hear if you'd be as kind as to go through the Medic guide I've made for Team Fortress 2, and tell me if it's ok. Since I'm not used to write strategies, and it is far from the same as writing a walkthrough, it would be nice to know if what I'm doing is right.

Also: If there are any mistakes or bad grammar and alike, feel welcome to correct it.

Thanks in advance
