Patrol
Hey. I know that you are a tad busy at the moment and not completely focused on ZW, but how would you like to be promoted to help with patrol as you can? The staff believe that you have shown the dedication and skills for the position, and we are in need of some help in overcoming the current patrol backlog. You interested? Also, archive this page now. :P 06:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd love to help out, Mel. Thanks for considering me! Ah, and I've been slacking on archiving this page. It is time, I guess. =) 05:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Promotion done. Give me a buzz if you need any help. 05:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Congrats, dude :) 11:50, March 5, 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? 06:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? I had NO IDEA that it strained the server so much. You know what? I'm going to see how much your little server can take, and thus will make 485098242 more edits to one page, without hitting Show Preview! Take that, Neo. =) 06:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

RE: Minor Edits
Yeah sorry about that one, but one out of a hundred or so isn't that bad. And I am not using a script, this is all my work. ShadowBroker44 21:24, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Characters in LA
Cip, I notice that on the 7 March you made an edit to Characters in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening which involved reverting a whole heap of changes (mostly addition of sprite images), and you marked this change as minor. Was this deliberate, or accidental? 19:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh jeez, that had to be completely accidental! I have no idea why I was even there... maybe a patrol thing? But that was definitely not what I meant to do... Sorry! 21:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, Pete, I know exactly what happened. I must have been patrolling one of Jeangabin's edits, which was an older one, without realizing there were more recent edits to the page, and I must have seen an issue with something, thus edited the page as it looked when Jeangabin got to it, not the most current revision . Since the newer revisions had some extra sprites added, my edit of an older revision without those sprites took the page back to the way it looked when Jeangabin saw it. Does that make sense? I hope that clears things up! :( 21:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the appreciation. Regards -  S.B.44    [T] |undefined 00:38, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Manual of Style
Does ZW have a formal Manual of Style? Because a lot of the pages I have seen are very convoluted and need reforming, which would be easier with a MoS. Regards -  S.B.44    [T] |undefined 16:04, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We are currently working under an unwritten manual of style as we are a currently shifting wiki in terms of article content, style, and appearance. While we don't have such at the moment, there are examples here on the wiki of what we consider superior article formats (any of these articles are also "featured"). For example, for enemy pages, look here; for places, look here; and for items, look here. You do have an idea, and I agree - I'll present it to the staff! 18:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We do have a Quality Standards page - though not exactly a formal Manual of Style, it is at least a step in the right direction. 19:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, however, I've proposed to the staff a permanent organization in respect to the static subheadings such as Trivia, Gallery, See Also, References, and bottom article Templates - all of which should be in the same order regardless of article. But yea, if what you're looking for isn't in the Quality Standards, perhaps this movement will help with the article convolution. 19:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
