[edit] Your commas

You have been inserting unnecessary commas into several articles. Is this a crusade? Moriori 03:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I just thought I was correcting grammar. My English textbook says that is the correct way. — Galaeron Nihmedu 02:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

It says to insert commas when using the month/day/year format. The example it gives is the following: "Hawaii achieved statehood on August 21, 1959, and became the fiftieth state. [Notice that a comma separates the final item in a date (1959) from the words that follow it.]"

The second example is this: "Write to me at 423 Twentieth Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101-0423, after the first of May. [Notice that a comma separates the final item in an address (84101-0423) from the words that follow it.]"

The textbook is the Holt Handbook (ISBN 0-03-065287-1), published in 2003, and written by John E. Warriner. This particular issue about grammar is trivial, however, so I don't want to make a big deal about it. — Galaeron Nihmedu 03:22, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

This particular issue is about Wikipedia style, not someone else's. Wikipedia does not use a comma after the year (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)) and in some cases does not use a comma between day/month and year. Moriori 22:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belephron (Belaphron)

Hi there, I noticed that in Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark, when you encounter Grimgnaw in Cania, one of his followers is a lich named Belaphron. I remember fighting a lich named Belephron, I believe, in either the original NWN campaign or Shadows of Undrentide and this lich is probably meant to be the same one, though the name was altered a little, but I can't remember exactly where I fought him. If you know what I'm talking about, could you please fill me in so that I can write an entry about Belephron? Thanks.--Rouge Rosado Oui? 21:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I have not played that game. — Galaeron Nihmedu 02:07, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dartz

Because it is redundant with the presence of "Manga and Anime villains", which is a subcategory of "Television villains". You do not put a subcategory with a parent category in articles. 02:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletes

Hello! Just wanted to let you know that when you nominate an article for speedy-deletion, you must give a reason. See the criteria for speedy deletion for more details. -- P.B. Pilhet / Talk 02:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I just thought it was obvious if a new article's only content is "This cd is awesome! I love the song GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST!!!!!!!" — Galaeron Nihmedu 02:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CSD

Why shouldn't it be a speedy? It doesn't meet WP:N. Please advise- Tlim7882 10:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is not about a person, group, company, or web content, and there is plenty of other articles on Wikipedia about schools. {{subst:afd}} allows people to discuss whether the article should be deleted or not. — Galaeron Nihmedu 10:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The inclusion of topics on Wikipedia is a reflection of whether those topics have been included in reliable published works. Other authors, scholars, or journalists have decided whether to give attention to a topic, and in their expertise have researched and checked the information about it. Thus, the primary notability criterion is a way to determine whether "the world" has judged a topic to be notable. This is unrelated to whether a Wikipedia editor personally finds the subject remarkable or worthy.

Yes, that's what AFD is for. — Galaeron Nihmedu 11:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: RC Patrolling

Darn, you keep reverting before I have a chance to. What Internet service do you use? — Quin 06:52, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

NTL:Telewest (recently acquired by Virgin Media); it's broadband, but it's not particularly fast, I get error pages and slow loading times now and then like everyone else. The trick is to go after the subtle vandalism; I'm using software a bit like VandalProof, and it picks out the obvious stuff so I can revert it quickly. Subtle stuff I don't get to so fast – Qxz 06:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A reward; a medal

Thanks for watching over me. I will do the same for you if I see something like that. Cheers. --Rednblu 03:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
