[edit] Cthulhu Nation

Hey,

I feel kind of bad about switching the link now that I think about it. You've been playing that game for a lot longer than me and it was sort of dumb to change the URL when I didn't even contribute to the wiki. I hope you don't hate me forever.

If it makes you feel better, you can hit me really hard in-game (Patric Aegin).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mroconnell (talk • contribs) 17:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Legionnaire redirect

Sidp, most of the LSH are redundant entries. Per Garth Ranzz, many (Ayla Ranzz, Triplicate Girl and Apparition for example) are being merged into a single document to cover all three. Before simply creating redirects and invalidating entries, please discuss on the appropriate topic page(s). --Squashua 21:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Merging the documents is a good idea, perhaps, or perhaps not. However, an entry that has no content and is merely the real name of a fictional character hardly needs a review for merging. Isn't that adhering to an overly strict methodology? I'm just trying to help. --SidP 22:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a small note

Everyone does this until they know it's wrong, so I just wanted to let you know that when writing about fictional events, present is the proper tense to use. As a comics reader, I know that it is extremely easy to find yourself writing about these events in the past tense: Wizard does it, the Who's Who and Offical Handbooks do it, and with an ongoing continuity, it's easy to see these events as having already occurred. The problem arises, however, when it becomes somewhat difficult to separate fictional from actual events. While it is absurd to think that someone might be confused about whether a person with superpowers is real, this rule applies to fiction across the board, not just on Wikipedia, but in professional discussion of fiction. I saw that you had made some minor change to tense, and I thought, that a conscienscious, detail-oriented editor such as you would want to know the proper tense for future reference. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 52

Stop changing this article so drastically. I disagree with a large number of your edits; I feel they are lowering the quality of the article, and we need to discuss them on the talk page. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

For the sake of posterity, CG mistook another user's posts for my posts. --Squashua 20:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI, I know what you were trying to do and in a perfect world, yeah, just yank it out when people make a mistake like that. But ... we try and keep that stuff around for historical reasons. So if someone makes the same mistake, they go, read that it's been handled, and move on. Among other reasons ;) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 19:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, the text there makes me look like a dumbass (especially when uber-user CG calls me out), even though it's not me that caused the issue. Mebbe if CG clarified on the paragraph. Of course, I know you know what I mean, so at least we (three) are all on the same page. :) --Squashua 20:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Never been called an uber-user before. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
You've got the wiki-stuff down pat. Just check out your own about me page. Very intimidating; all official-like.  :^) --Squashua 17:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Which is why you can reply, point it out, as you did, and move on :) You don't look like a dumb-ass. That stuff happens to everyone at least once. It's no big deal. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 01:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
She's right. I know that lots of editors have these mistakes or disagreements with each other. But no one ever remembers these things. What people remember and notice is your track record, your contributions as a whole. Reputation can be very fluid here. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 01:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Jeez; I come back and there's a whole conversation going on. You kids wanna get a room? Thanks for the support. ;) --Squashua 17:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
The love between Ipstenu and me is an unspoken one. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Now I have to kill you Chris! Damnit! ;) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 01:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
