Adding citations on pages
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for your recent work of adding citations to pages...you're really helping us out. :) Edit on, and keep up the great work! Dany36 00:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing! I'm having a blast! =) Embyr 75 00:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Multiple edits
Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones, okay? 23:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, cool. I usually THINK I'm done and then want to add something else... I'll try harder to minimize my saves. Thanks for the info. Embyr 75 23:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Skype
Hey, so you've been around for a bit and you're starting to get into the community, right? Well, a lot of us use a program known as Skype to communicate with one another about editing and other things. If you'd like to join, we'd be glad to have you in the chats with us! You can find details about it on our Skype page. It's free, it's easy, and it allows quick communication in text form! Just contact any one of the active people on that page if you get Skype and we'll add you into the public chat! Your best bet would be to contact me, Mandi, or Matt, as we're almost always on. Hope to see you around! 01:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, sounds like fun! But I'm across the country visiting relatives right now and don't want to download anything "foreign" to my grandparents' computer. Maybe when I get back to my desktop. Thanks for the invite. Embyr 75 02:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Ikana Kingdom
Just wanted to let you know that you're doing a seriously phenomenal job with that page! I'm certainly going to keep up with what you add, it's been very interesting reading all of this nice and neat in one place, rather than as scattered quotes about the net. Keep rockin'. :) -- RustyCage 00:46, 4 May 2010 (EST)
 * Hey, thanks! =D Glad someone else is enjoying it as much as I am. =) Embyr 75 04:50, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrol
Hello! Just wanted to congratulate you for your promotion to Autopatrol! This basically means that you're a freaking awesome editor and, since your edits are so great, we trust you enough to not have an admin or a patroller check all of your edits. Woo! Way to go! We hope you stick around and continue with your fantastic contributions. And of course, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of the active staff members (or other folks that seem trustworthy). Happy editing! :) Dany36 00:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * YAAAAAAAY! *Does the Happy Kirby Dance* <(^_^<)(>^_^)> OH I feel all capable right now! =) Haha thanks!  01:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * WOO Embyr! Yep, your edits are pretty sweet. You are definitely deserving of the promotion! 01:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's another congrats for Embyr =). --K2L 01:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * sniff I'm feeling the love!! X) Thanks guys! 01:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * More love, yo! So glad to have you autopatrolled. We never needed to patrol YOUR edits because they're always top notch! Keep up the awesome work because you're an invaluable help to the wiki. =) 23:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much!! XD You guys are AWESOME!!! O_O 00:51, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey!
Got your message, yeah I am a total newb at this, lol. I have decided that until I have the content for this page ready, I will make further edits in OpenOffice as to avoid the frequent updates, and to make my life simpler.
 * Haha, cool! No worries. I end up pressing the "preview" button like ten times before I save cuz I'm ALWAYS forgetting something!!! ^_^ Anyway, glad to have you, and hope you stick around! BTW, you can sign you edits using four tildes, like this ~ =) See ya! 04:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Skype...again
Hey, Embyr, I wanted to bring up Skype again to see if you were interested. Last time, you were gone or something? But anyways, we'd really like to have you join our chats! Just let me know if you're still interested, and if you get Skype, you can contact any of us via our Skype names found on the Skype page. Your best bet for an immediate response would be to contact myself, Mandi, or Matt, as we're the three most active users. Dany's been online a lot, too, lately. Hope you decide to join us! :) 02:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey Justin! I definately haven't forgotten about it, I'd like to once I'm on my own desktop again. I'm still away from my own box (I've been across the country for 6 months! O_O I wasn't expecting this trip to last this long lol), and when I tried downloading Skype to this laptop it didn't work. I actually have Skype at home, ao as soon as I get back to the West Coast I will let you guys know. =) Thanks for the reminder! =P 02:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay! Hope to see you in our chats when you do get back! =D 02:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Patroller
On behalf of the Zelda Wiki.org staff, we came to a discussion to promote you to a Patroller. If you are comfortable with that, we will rank you up whenever you reply. 20:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ehm, since Steve didn't explain, patrol is when you review the edits of others and mark them as "patrolled." You then make changes (if necessary.) It's basically our way of making sure that every edit is of high quality. It's a bit tough, but we all thought you'd be perfect for it :) You can read more about it in the help guide here. 21:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * For reals?! Awesome! I'd be honored!! 22:37, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Good to hear! I'll let you in on a tip: Create the page User:Embyr 75/monobook.js with the following:
 * It'll add a patrol tab while patrolling edits. You can hit alt+shift+1 (in Firefox) or alt+1 (in Chrome) to patrol the edit you're looking at. After that, you can do it again to go back to the unpatrolled Recent Changes. It's a REAL helpful feature! Glad to have you working with us, Embyr! 04:22, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, I love Steve's formality and all that jazz. So yeah! Welcome aboard to the awesome group of people known as the Zelda Wiki PATROLLER STAFF! Yay! ~ <--(confetti) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or any of the other active patrollers/admins! Happy patrolling! :D Dany36 04:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Great job
Just wanted to say great job with all the patrolling! Usually, I'm the only one who actually does any of it, because the rest of these lazy bums just let the backlog grow and grow, then I get stuck patrolling hundreds of edits. NOT FUN. Anyways, I'm glad you're doing this, and I know that patrolling can be a thankless job, so I wanted to let you know that everyone appreciates it, especially me :P I'm actually going to be leaving on Monday and will be gone for 12 days, so I want you to keep the backlog in shape while I'm gone, eh? And if no else is patrolling (which you can check by going here,) feel free to yell at them on their talk pages :P And make sure you tell 'em you're giving em a chewing out from me >:] Happy editing! 05:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, thanks!!! I'll be sure to keep everyone in line while you're gone. >=] Have fun on your trip!! 00:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Psst!
We made a canned message for people who edit too much. This is it ;) 03:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * HUZZAH! Awesome, thanks for the info. I will, like, so totally use that from now on. ^_^ Oh man, and in your absence, I have like, so totally kept the Recent Changes tidy... well. Except for today. It's a wreck today. I was out. O_O 03:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Thought I'd mention it...
So, I just wanted to say that you've been doing an awesome job with the patrolling, keep up the good work! Another thing, I think someone may have asked you this before, but, do you have Skype? Skype is just basically an IM program like MSN, Yahoo, ect. The Zelda Wiki staff/members use it to communicate, point out problems, just chat, ect. We have a text chat formed specifically for ZW contributors and patrollers/staff. It'd be great if you could download it!:) 01:44, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Aw, thanks! I'm a bit of a neat-freak, so this patrolling stuff comes naturally. =P I do have Skype at home, but I'm away for an undisclosed period and can't download it on this laptop. I will definately be joining you guys when I get back to the West Coast though, cuz there have been soooo many instances when I really, really wished I could get your collective input. So yeah, as soon as I get home! =)  03:39, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Yay! That's great. 03:53, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Conversation
Hey, Embyr, I've been meaning to talk to you in private about something. I sent you an email to the address on your userpage, so could you check it when you get time? 17:33, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Done! =) 17:59, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Medallion Links
Hi, how are you? Recently, I began to add information about the thematic elements of the dungeons by adding a new field to the Dungeon template; however, I would like instead to put the images of the Sage Medallions associated with those elements (forest, fire, water, etc.) and make them link to the disambiguation pages regarding the dungeon (for example, if I put the Forest Medallion, it would link to the Forest Dungeon page); do you know how can I do this, please? Thanks in advance =) --K2L (Interrogatory) 14:12, 11 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Hi K2L! I personally don't know how (or if) that can be done, but I'll pass it on to some of my Template-Savvy buddies and someone will drop a line here. =) 14:17, 11 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Through the template ImageLink. Fairly simple to use. 18:19, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK! Going to try at this moment, thanks! --K2L (Interrogatory) 14:28, 11 October 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm having a few problems with the ImageLink template, it says I must specify the image, and yet I do! Might have to do with the fact that I'm trying to add a template (ImgL) into another (Dungeon); I'll try this later, because my Internet is getting horribly messy at this moment.
 * The instructions say to not add the File: prefix. That may be your problem. 19:12, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

That was indeed the issue. Thanks again! =) --K2L (Interrogatory) 18:22, 11 October 2010 (EDT)
