User talk:Arturo

Hey Arturo, I have some suggestions. First, sign your name with four tildes to get your name and the date:

~~~~

Second, avoid first-person editorial comments such as "I conclude..." Instead use third-person objective, such as "One may conclude..." or "It can be concluded that..." -davogones 12:19, 17 January 2006 (EST)

Arturo, don't forget to mark minor changes as minor. -davogones 20:10, 21 January 2006 (EST)

What minor change are you talking about? If you mean my last one (in Ruto's article) I didn't think that changing the position of part of the article was a minor change. From what I know, minor changes are just ortographic corrections.--Arturo 07:44, 22 January 2006 (EST)

I myself think that small edits are minor too, only if I completely (re)write a big part of an article I would consider it a full edit. But I seem to be inconsequent with minor and normal edits too, if I look at my own posts.--Iron Knuckle 10:51, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Image Categories

Hey, I've gone ahead and removed those categories I added for images. I shouldn't have added then, as that was a huge change without consensus. It was inexcusable, especially after I had just written a short time before about how I'd stick to small things.

At best I can only offer an explanation: I help out on a lot of wikis, and because of it adding categories to images is second nature, not unlike adding categories to pages.

Nonetheless, it was inexcusable for me to do, and I'll really stick to just filling out articles this time. My humblest apologies.

At least you fixed your mistake right away, other than that I think you are doing a good job so far. There one other thing however, I like the sprite set you used for Malon, but personally I don't really like blown up pixels. I know the sprites are small, but all those squares don't make it look nice IMO. I don't know how the other members think about this, so that's why I am asking.--Iron Knuckle 10:51, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Yes, Iron Knuckle, I agree with you that if they were a little bit smaller they would be nicer.--Arturo 16:25, 30 January 2006 (EST)

No problem there. The sprites themselves are normal size, the wiki-syntax simply made them double-sized to show detail. I've removed that bit, so now it shows them at regular size, consistent with other game sprites. --Lesoria 20:43, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Linking Articles

Hello, there. I wanted to say a way of linking articles which you may not know. I noticed you linked "bottles" as "[[Bottle|bottles]]" recently. There is nothing wrong with it, but there is another way.

If you write the link as "[[bottle]]s", two things will happen with the link. It will make the "b" into a capital for the "link", and it will also link the "s" in the word. It does the same as "[[Bottle|bottles]]", but it's much shorter =D

• [[Bottle|bottles]] = bottles
• [[bottle]]s = bottles

Nice, eh? =)

Thank you Lesoria, I didn't know it. I'm certainly not very good with computers. But I'm getting better :) --Arturo 09:36, 20 February 2006 (EST)
