Thanks for editing my first full article
Just wanted to say thanks I barely did any edits before that, and was really happy that I got to work on most of Eldin Volcano, I want to thank you for fixing everything up for me, I just added like a sentence and a word I thought fitted in better after your edit. I'm not good at references and citations that much yet but I'll get the hang of it can I request that you fix up these pages as well and try to keep most of my original work in it, just cleaning it up and adding stuff you think is appropiate the articles I made are Deep Woods and Lanayru Gorge. Also, when the Wiki are admins think an article is in a perfect form what do they do with it to prevent it from being changed until it is changed again, do they lock it or something? Finally if you ever want me to do something just message me on my Talk Page, just note I like working on Locations, and enemies, and races the most mostly enemies that are releated to fire are lizards same with areas, but I'll do anything you want. So yeah thanks for reading this and I hope we can talk again great meeting you - XXSuperXXNintendoXx

I'm new and confused!
(four famous Zelda notes) Well, sort of. I've been around the site and need help. Since you are a patroller I thought you'd be of help. Citations. They are my main problem. I've tried and I can't figure it out. I'm sure it is fairly simple, but I miss it. I also have side box problems. On the top left of pages is the box with the info, but I don't know how to add/edit one. All I need is a little help. Thanks... Altidefan1 23:04, 25 October 2010 (EDT)


 * Hi Altidefan1! I'd be more than happy to help out. Citations are a piece of cake once you get the process, and you can read detailed instructions on how to use them (in all their different forms) here. Here's a quick example of how to cite an in-game quote:




 * Pretty simple! But that help page will explain the whole process and the different citation templates. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "side box." Do you mean the table of contents?? These are created automatically when a page is organized with headers. You can read more about making headers here. I hope that helps; feel free to post here again or email me if you want more help!!! 10:23, 26 October 2010 (EDT)

Fixing
The page i was just on about the Anubis... I'm a curious how you fixed it. How did you fix it? 18:54, 3 November 2010 (EDT)
 * Hi Smashbrother101!! I used the Clear template. It's really useful for formatting pages. Basically it does the job of a bunch of  tags, and it determines on its own how much space is needed based on what's already on the page (click on the link for more info). If you have any other questions, ask away!  19:00, 3 November 2010 (EDT)
 * Thanks for that!Sounds like a fairly nifty tool. I'll remember that. For now I don't have any more questions but if I do I'll check back okay? Have a nice day! 07:53, 4 November 2010 (EDT)

Wiki Exclusive
I have a great idea for one and I don't know where to submit it. Could you tell me where?

I have a WE project too
I had told Cip about it, but he has been offline lately (and probably doesn't know about it yet. My project is here, I hope you find it interesting. -- 12:17, 1 March 2011 (EST)
 * Hey K2L!! Interesting topic choice. I think you've done an excellent job coverings the bases, here. I especially enjoyed the coverage of the unique gameplay devices in Majora's Mask. If you'd care to hear my criticisms, they would read something like this:
 * It needs some grammatical cleanup and a sweep for spelling errors, which shouldn't take too long. I think one issue that needs to be addressed is the length. You're covering a lot of information, so of course the article will be long. But as a writer you also need to cater to the short attention spans of most readers. You can do that without having to cut out any of the main points by trimming some redundancy, which I think will really heighten your article's appeal!
 * For example, this is your introductory paragraph for the Majora's Mask section:
 * Released two years after Ocaina of Time, Majora's Mask makes use of the same primary mechanics that debuted in its predecessor. Therefore, the learning curve for the control scheme is nonexistent for thosw who played first the 1998 title, and still low for those who didn't yet. The game has hooked attention for its unusual secondary gameplay devices, which render the quest very different from the other games in the series (though most of the existing primary mechanics are present).
 * You highlight the fact that mechanics from OOT are present in MM with, not one, but three sentences. If you can find similar examples throughout the article and slim them down, and fix grammar and spelling, I think you're article will look really polished!! Deleting unnecessary or redundant information can be difficult, but very worth while. So, that's my two rupees. Keep up the good work! 18:14, 1 March 2011 (EST)
 * Thanks for the advice! I'll try to fix those issues! =) -- 23:41, 1 March 2011 (EST)
 * OK, I have checked the whole page ... twice (a sadistic and very nasty 503 error message forced me to do the whole thing TWICE =,. I have reduced as much unnecessary wording as possible, fixed any remaining typo I could see, and made some clarifications. It's just 1,3 KB smaller than the last revision, but numbers can be deceiving =). If there is something else to be fixed, don't hesitate to tell me! For reference, here you can see the latest changes. -- 02:44, 2 March 2011 (EST)
 * Very nice! Trimming an article can be hard, can't it? But it is SO WORTH THE EFFORT to get rid of lines that aren't completely necessary! Short and concise reads very nice! :) (I totally just made that up lol. I'm such a dork. XD) AHHH anyways. Keep working with it. Make sure it's just the way you want it and error-free, and then send it in! 14:39, 4 March 2011 (EST)

Hey!
Yo!! Good to see you editing again! We really need the help for the SS frenzy, haha. See you around, and looking forward to what you'll cook up now! Dany36 23:07, 5 December 2011 (EST)


 * Hiya!! Thanks for the message! Yeah, I figured you might need the extra patrols during this most joyous (and, for the staff, tedious) milestone release. Anyways no major projects in the works yet, just trying to get the bases covered!! :) See you around, lady!  01:57, 6 December 2011 (EST)


 * Yeah, what Dany said. We need all the help we can get to take care of that monstrous backlog. :P 07:11, 6 December 2011 (EST)


 * It's a pretty intimidating backlog alright! I checked with Fi, Navi, and Midna, and apparently there's no visible weak point. O_O 12:52, 6 December 2011 (EST)
