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! :) 20:06, 30 December 2011 (EST)
 * Oh, sorry. I didn't know it caused such a strain.  Thanks for warning me.  I'll edit more efficiently from now on.--Osteoderm Jacket 20:10, 30 December 2011 (EST)
 * Don't worry about it, it's a very common mistake among new users. I was guilty of that one myself, once. In any case, I'd say you're off to a pretty good start. I hope we'll be seeing more from you in the future! 20:21, 30 December 2011 (EST)

 * Thank you very much! I don't really know what to say.  I just saw a gap and decided to make an article.--Osteoderm Jacket 22:22, 30 December 2011 (EST)

OOT Bosses
Hello Osteo!

I saw your message on Dany page and I replied there, but I also copy-paste my reply here so you can see it more easily. It is not true, see the Mini-boss page - "They may be optional." Itachou 18:32, 13 January 2012 (EST)

My Vaati Name Theory
But like I said, theres nothing wrong with putting a theory until it has been proven wrong. NOA hasn't given us a reason on how and why they gave Vaati his English name, people on this site are entitled to have a theory. I've seen Etymology theories all the time on this site and some of them still haven't been proven and yet their still there. The statement bellow that revision has nothing to do with my Etymology theory in any way, I never said that Vaati's name had anything to do with his Japanese name Gufuu, I said that Vaati's name could have come from the word "Batty" but said in a Japanese like-style of format that would be prounouced as "Vaati". In Japan, V and B sounds are often interchangable when translated into English as well as R and L sounds too like how Jap-Rinku would be translated to Eng-Link. Vaati's name could have been created from a Japanese style of format using a word that resembles his appearance, Vaati-Batty. Thats my theory, I don't see any reason for it to be removed until it has at least been proven by Nintendo of America. There are tons of theories on this site that are still there and have still yet to be proven, so why does mine have to be automatically removed? --Vaati The Wind Demon 23:51, 15 January 2012 (EST)
 * Individual people's theories are not a good candidate for inclusion in the main article. As far as I can tell, this is your own idea and isn't a commonly occurring one in the wider Zelda community.  If I'm wrong, by all means tell me so and return the note to the page, but nothing you've said so far leads me to believe that it's anything other than yours.  If it's your own idea and you want to express it on this wiki, put it on your user page.  That's what I've done with mine.  For that matter, if a localizer is creating a new name altogether rather than basing the name on one from the original language, why would they base their new name on the way some word in their language would be pronounced in the source language?  Why not just make it a word in their own language?--Osteoderm Jacket 00:01, 16 January 2012 (EST)
 * I could put it on my own page, I can really do that? I thought your page was for describing yourself only.--Vaati The Wind Demon 00:03, 16 January 2012 (EST)
 * I see tons of people with theory sections on their pages, including admins. I don't think anyone minds.  It's just counter to the spirit of a reference, which this is, to put information in an article that is neither a confirmed part of canon nor a sufficiently widely-held fan idea to be something someone interested in the Zelda community should know.  (Of course, fan-created concepts must be clearly distinguished from canon if they're present in the articles, which we're generally good about doing.)  Anyway, yeah, go right ahead and put it on your page if you like.  It looks like you haven't created a user page yet, but it's not much work.--Osteoderm Jacket 00:14, 16 January 2012 (EST)
 * Ok, thank you for the information, that really means a lot to me. A lot of people over on Youtube keep on telling me that user pages on Wikis are just for posting information about yourself only, like inroductions, bios, interests, ETC, anything that pertains to you, but this changes everything, thanks for the information.  --Vaati The Wind Demon 00:23, 16 January 2012 (EST)
 * I can't speak for other wikis (that are anything like this one, at least; I also edit TV Tropes Wiki and Wikipedia at times), so don't generalize this to them. This is just how it seems to work here.--Osteoderm Jacket 00:25, 16 January 2012 (EST)
