Wow, you made it almost a month before I decided to stop just reverting your improper edits to come waste another plea on your talk page. Okay, so today I'm here to ask you (again) to use the buttons above the edit text box when creating new pages. Specifically, use the "Guide page" button, as this will put the {{t|Header Nav}} and {{t|Footer Nav}} into the page for you. This means, in a fair world, that you could prevent others from having to come in after you to add the navigation by hand, simply by '''PRESSING ONE BUTTON''' before you start editing. It's not that serious (unfortunately), because someone has to cleanup everything you do, even if you somehow mastered clicking a button. While I'm here I may as well reiterate that you shouldn't put a <nowiki>==Level 2 Heading==</nowiki> at the top of the page which is identical to the page name. Users know what page they're on already. This is where I would normally ask you to also use the Page preview button, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to identify something out of place even if you used it. Until next time, - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 23:03, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Saying you "don't know how to use Wii images" just isn't going to cut it. If you read the [[StrategyWiki:Guide|Guide]], specifically the section on [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Organization#Controls|Controls]], you would find useful links to all button image templates. However, there are perfectly good examples of using the button templates you need '''on the very page you are attempting to edit'''. When you add content to a page, you ''must'' make sure you are conforming to the style and presentation being used. Look at the other sections in the page to see how they have been laid out and make your edits correspondingly. Use copy and paste if you have to. Please try again, as I agree that those pages need information on basic controls. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 21:42, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Please don't remove perfectly good information claiming that it's copyrighted without doing some research first. The information on [[Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath]] came from Wikipedia, and was published under the GFDL license which is compatible with our own. Furthermore, the information is attributed in [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Command_%26_Conquer_3:_Kane%27s_Wrath&diff=next&oldid=249746 the page's edit history]. Most of the guides use Wikipedia's writeup on the main page, so don't go around deleting that information. If you find something you find is suspect, the proper course is to add the {{t|copyvio}} template at the top of the page. This will alert an admin, who will look into it. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 22:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

== ToC templates ==
If you put a template like {{t|cleanup}} on a guide's ToC, it gets spread throughout the guide, because it is transcluded twice on every page (in the Header and Footer Navs). First of all, the ToC doesn't need a ''cleanup'', it just needs to be filled out. Second, if you want to add tags to the ToC, put them in <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> tags so they don't interfere with all the other pages in the guide. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 18:40, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== Responding to your talk page ==
Why are you responding to posts on your talk page from MONTHS ago? The original poster (probably me) doesn't care anymore. You received a lot of posts asking you to shape up, and there's no point in responding to them after this much time has passed and you've (presumably) improved. When your talk page has been edited you'll see '''a big orange box''' at the top of the screen notifying you. When you see it, go to your talk page and respond ''at that time'' if you want to have a discussion. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 22:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

:Every article needs ''something'', but if you're having trouble finding things to do, you can always check out the [[StrategyWiki:Cleanup project|cleanup project]]. Posting comments to all your old talk page messages isn't proving you're listening to any advice; it only highlights the fact that you never responded in a timely matter. What proves you listened to the advice is that your edits have improved. I wouldn't worry about any messages that are older than a month – if you haven't received any recently it's because you've been making good edits. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
