Hi again!! I've noticed you've been adding some in-game references recently. I'm a huge advocate of referencing as much as possible, so I approve! =D When writing a reference for an in-game quote, use the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Cite|Cite]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template rather than attempting to format the quote yourself. (See [[Citing_Sources#Different_Types_of_References|this page]] for more info.) It keeps all the references on the wiki consistent where formatting is concerned and minimizes confusion for new users. As always, drop a line here or on my talk page if you have questions and keep up the good work! =) {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 18:41, 15 December 2011 (EST) | Hi again!!

:So I would use the cite template around the quote instead of " ? I just learned how to referece and I went to a lto of the articles that said no cititains or refs and since I really don't feel like going on my game to look I usually will watch this High Quality Let's Play and pause to get the ref. Also when we do a reference does it have to be the whole line the character says or can it jsut be a certain part of the dioloage, Finally I was going to make a page on the Waterfall location in SS(I know they actually named the cave in Skyloft Waterfall, but a page already exists with disabugation and I dont wanna add a location and have disabugation content on the same page, so is there anyway we could have a seperate page for the location Waterfall and change the name of the present disbugation page to Disbugation: Waterfall or something, and thanks for the help master (bows) [[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] 19:00, 15 December 2011 (EST) | :So I would use the cite template around the quote instead of " ?

Yo! I noticed the comment you left on Embyr's talk page, and I just wanted to say something about that. While we do appreciate that you're putting in an effort to write with good grammar, don't worry too much about it...that's what we, the patrollers and admins, are for! :) As long as the content is there (which you do a very good job of writing, may I say!), then the rest is easy business for us. ;) So don't fret too much about commas and such...you'll eventually get the hang of it. :D Keep up the great work!!!

Aww... thanks! I'll try not to worry as much(will still try to have good grammer with the best of my ability though), and thanks for the compliment on my writing, I love to put time in my work. Also, I think someone needs to update the SS Nav Map(if I did let's just say things wouldnt be too pretty!) Hoping your having a good Christmas Break/Vacation/ or holiday.

Hey, I have a question. Normally, when I reference stuff I watch a let's play and will pause at the quote I want to cite and repeat so, till I have the full quote. However, I hear a lot of people talk about Text Dumps, which is like a list of every single quote in a said game(including other info). Since, you're an admin what would you reccomend as the way to go when referencing or citing quotes. Also, someone seemed to blank the Link page last night, I undoed their edit, but I just wanted to inform you.

:You know, I was wondering how you were referencing things! I assumed you had the text dump (that's what I use), but I see I was wrong. Yes, one of the admins here gave me the text dump when it was leaked, so I'll gladly give it to you! I'll upload it to a website and give you the link once it's done. It is separated into six parts, but in a way that's better because it's easier to look for stuff. ;) | :You know, I was wondering how you were referencing things!

Hey! I really like some of the work you've done recently. By the way, we have a Zelda Wiki chat on Skype. I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining.

Thank you, and sure I would love to...(does it require webcam or is it like a chat on Skype) furthermore I don't have a Skype should my username be the one I use here?

:It's just a chat, nothing that requires the use of a webcam. :) If you wanna join, downloading Skype is really easy (we have a link to it in <s>our Skype page</s>). Creating the same username you have here is not necessary, just whichever you use. Once you're all set up, feel free to add me under my username of '''danythedot'''...I'll add you to the skype chat afterwards! :) See you there!

I'm sorry I didn't leave a reason for undoing your edit, but I don't know how to do that except by putting it in the same field that contains the note that an edit was undone, and there wasn't enough space left to say much of anything. Anyway, here's my reason: The "fixes" you added don't actually fix anything. The bits you added to the description at the top just make that sentence ungrammatical, while your edits farther down move the word "from" for no grammatical reason and add an unnecessary comma. I know grammar can be a pain, and I don't want to come off as a jerk here, but you have to be willing to allow people to correct grammatical errors. Regardless, please tell me if there is a way to tell people why I'm undoing their edits that doesn't conflict with the "edit was undone" notice. I'm new at this.--[[User: | I'm sorry I didn't leave a reason for undoing your edit, but I don't know how to do that except by putting it in the same field that contains the note that an edit was undone, and there wasn't enough space left to say much of anything.

Hmm, its fine, just remember don't undo the edit, if you can fix it without getting rid of everything do it that way. You just put the reason for undoing the edit, in the summary after the the notice, like any old edit. I really did like your article btw, cya around.

:Can you explain me the usefulness of having a duplicate information from one page to another, especially for a boss.

Look at the Mogma Page, and it isn't mentioned in the Goron page because the Goron Page is large enough. It is also user friendly, it would be better to make them not exactly the same in words, I agree. However, it seemed to work on that page for ages. Rebonack is an Iron Knuckle, if I remember correctly or a member of the Iron Knuckle's, we do this for a lot of pages as well. I'm fine with all the non-canon stuff staying on the Rebonack page, but maybe we can find a compromise?

:It seemed to work on that page for ages because Rebonack didn't have his own page before, but anyway it isn't a reason, things can change some time or another for better organization. Mogma page is really short compared to the Iron Knuckle page and act as a nice listing since all of them have a specific name, which is not the case for the Iron Knuckles. | :It seemed to work on that page for ages because Rebonack didn't have his own page before, but anyway it isn't a reason, things can change some time or another for better organization.

Hi there. I thought I'd take an opportunity to explain my actions regarding your recent edit to [[Death Mountain (Four Swords)]]. I did what I did because, as far as I could tell, nothing you'd added to the text added any actual new information to the page, and you turned sentences whose grammar was already correct into ones with grammatical errors. (Except changing "symbols" to "symbol", for which I thank you.) For the most part, your edit just added redundant words to the text. I'm sorry if I responded rudely. The thing is, calling an edit "fixes" when you aren't adding any new content and are "correcting" grammar to something incorrect strikes ''me'' as rude. It's OK to make grammatical errors and to not be sure about grammatical rules, but whether or not you intend it that way (I assume you didn't), it comes off as arrogant to act like you know better about grammar or other aspects of prose when you aren't completely sure what's correct. That is what the word "fixes" implies, and that is why I responded the way I did. Does this make sense?--[[User: | Hi there.

Sorry for a late reply, school. I do agree with some of the stuff that you reverted of my edit, and thank you for keeping some of the changes in there. Regarding redundancy, most of the time its just adjetives in order to better describe the setting, but in other cases, its just a word added in. Also, I am known for my grammaterical errors(I'm working on commas, as we speak!), but most of the time, the staff fixes it and I don't really worry if its a minor grammer error. Finally, I'm really sorry for lashing out at you, that was uncalled for and was a really immature thing for me to do. See you around!
