RE:FIMG
Hmm, should we give it awhile to see how the nomination goes? Or just revert it? You choose, it's your nomination ^_^

Prffdinas
(sorry if I spelt it wrong) Well, I thought that requiem's version was straighter and nicer, and some of the comments said they preferred that version. Sorry that I didn't say or anything, I was in a hurry and had to go. Revert it to your version if you prefer that, I don't mind.-- 15:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

FIMG nomination for "Lesser reborn ranger"
Could you provide a link to where the nomination was withdrawn, or provide an explanation as to how the nomination was withdrawn? 11:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. 11:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey I want to let u know something Caleb.
Hello, recently I've checked what you have said which means stuff like your characteristics. I'm also a Christian and i don't swear and things you already know. You seem like a person just like me, and i will ask you if u will add me on rs so i can get to know you. My name is Mega Cute67 on the game.




 * Sure. I'll add you to my Friends list, I won't get on anytime soon though (as I'm signing off for the night). 15:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Oops
Oh, sorry. I was checking recent changes and checked out the Demon page. I saw that Nightgunner removed something that looked like vandalism to me, and the last person to edit that page was 76.226.135.229. I thought that they were the one who added that. Sorry. 12:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Oneiromancer
Nice try...


 * Just as a NECRO-mancer draws their power from the energy the dead, and the CULINARO-mancer draws his power from the energy of food, the ONEIRO-mancer draws her power from the energy of dreams...
 * Inaccruate, and not worded appropriately. There's really no need to shout. (-mancy is divination, seeing the future; -mancer is thus one who sees the future.)
 * ...so that a member of the Fremennik tribe may understand what it is to be a member of the Moon Clan...
 * Most people don't pay attention to quests. This line assumes the reader already knows he's Fremennik.
 * ...the Oneiromancer suggests that the player helps him by entering his dreams...
 * Okay, it didn't copy, but it links to Dream Mentor. It's already linked to in the subtitle. Plus, it should be explained that you do it in Dream Mentor. "During the Dream Mentor quest, the Oneiromancer suggests that the player helps..."

Apart from that, there's the occasional inappriate word ("Incredibly", for example) and no mention is made of a few key facts - she'll kick you off Lunar Isle if you try talking to her without a Seal of Passage, for example.

It's a small list, thus, not a bad article.. B+. You avoid detention. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 18:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Please be consistent.
Hi - thank you for the edits to the God bird page; I was unaware there is a Wiki capitalization policy and would appreciate a link.

However, given your status I was rather surprised at your inconsistency and lack of follow through in your corrections. If you only clean up half an article and not search for further examples, it's not the most helpful contribution to the rest of us. I'd much rather spend my time continuing to create new articles and overhauling ones in bad need of it rather than chasing down someone's unfinished efforts. Farmyboy 18:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you were 'multitasking' again when you wrote your response, since I appear to have touched a nerve or two and yet you still haven't addressed what I brought up.


 * I politely requested a link to any policy on this Wikipedia that stated a capitalization policy and in turn you told me that I was 'reprimanding' you. You seem to have done an innumerable amount of redirects and edits in accordance with one, yet your 'minor edit' did so only halfway, leaving myself (and I presume others who you've done this to) confused, not to mention spending our own time cleaning up articles in accordance with an editing rule that doesn't seem to be readily available.  Thus, I was wondering exactly what the policy was, or if this falls under what you define as a long series of 'voluntary' edits.  If it's the latter, I'd be quite happy to open up an RFD and work with you and others on formalizing something, although I suspect we'd be at wildly differing viewpoints on its importance and consistency.


 * Either way I do hope you find time to write more content sometime soon, since contributing all of a single stub article as your sole new content article contribution of 2009 does tend to remove administrators from the concerns of those who spend hours coming up with content, capturing pictures, finding pricing, and other things that actually draw people to this wiki. I have no problems with those who are editors rather than contributors on any wiki - we all volunteer in our own way - but I do think Jimmy Wales got it right when one of his five principles early on was that perfection wasn't required because endless editing serves no one, but new content serves all.  Farmyboy 08:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for finally responding to my request.


 * I will be quite happy to open a RFD/VFD (or whatever you call it here) to help come up with a MoS that is supported by something like Strunk & White or the Chicago Manual of Style rather than someone's opinion being supported by "common sense," since that part is not an "extremely trivial" matter whatsoever. Perhaps you haven't had a chance in your primary schooling to read either yet, but Wikipedia wisely came up with their MoS (based largely on those two classics) a few years back to precisely prevent the plethora of inconsistent edits you've seemed to prioritize over content adds.  1000000 differing views of "common sense" style rules tend to waste everyone's time since it creates incomprehensible, defensive responses by those confident their on their own opinion of style is "right" with no need for consensus to back it up.


 * It may be a while before I do that, however, since in what limited time I have here I have a number of long-overdue, half written articles that need to come first, along with any number of screen captures that need to be edited for content. Unfortunately, I've been delayed in finishing them as I've run across far too many articles that have content that's just outright wrong; spending hour after hour looking for style changes when there are so many articles in bad need of correction just doesn't seem like a good use of time to me, since bots can do that just as well.  I suppose we differ in our opinions on that too.


 * But you're right - my time could have much better been spent elsewhere instead of pointing out that repeated, inconsistent style changes that aren't supported by a formal MoS don't help anyone. Of course, had you responded with a more appropriate answer to my question with a link to the semi-skeleton style guide, it would have answered my confusion without this discussion, since as it turns out it does directly addresses capitalization of titles in the style you refer to, just like British spelling is used over American.


 * However, I do hope that if you can spend some time rereading that link, as not only was your answer to me incorrect - there is in fact a Wiki policy - but it might actually help you aim towards consistency in your continued efforts to perfect articles until such time as the community can have a more formal discussion on the matter of coming up with a more robust MoS that everyone can refer to instead of relying on their own personal opinions. Have a wonderful day, and I do hope you can find the "chance" to contribute content sometime soon in between all your style edits.  Farmyboy 09:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Weee
I'm back, hope you didn't miss me too much. :P 06:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It was for reals. I would have said I needed to get my keyboard fixed if I really was getting it fixed. >.< 06:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Your Userpage
This is your userpage with 640x480 resolution on Google Chrome, is that what it looks like on your laptop? -- 06:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
