[edit] Samus Aran
Instead of starting an edit war, let me explain my capitalizations:
- Aether is capitalized because it is the name of a planet and is thus a proper noun. (Just like Jupiter and Saturn are always capitalized.)
- Chozo is capitalized because it is the name of a race and is thus a proper noun. Among others, you decapitalized the phrase "a chozo warrior". Would you ever write "a german warrior" or "an english warrior" without capitalizing German or English?

Sorry about that, I thought I was just correcting an oversight when I capitalized. You're right that I wouldn't write "Human warrior" with a capital, but I think this is a quirk of us being the only known species. I believe that Klingon and Romulan and Martian (or for that matter, "Earthling") would be capitalized in this instance, and I think that would extend to Chozo. --Pagrashtak 04:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] its/it's
Ok, so I'm definitely not a big grammarian (is that a word), but I would've thought that "it's" would be appropriate for showing possession, much the same way I would say Jenny's ball. the apostrophe shows possession. Why should it be different for "it"? Cheers! Murderbike 10:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
hah! don't worry about it. it's probably in all my articles. i've always been convinced that it was supposed to be that way. Murderbike 07:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Its/It's
Sorry. My bad on the apostrophe and the attitude. Chalk it up to a synapse misfire. B 16:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
Wow - you caught me in a grammatical error I pride myself on NOT making. Twice! It's a good thing! Stampsations 22:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Atlas (rocket family)
Thanks very much for your correction to the Atlas (rocket family) article! Although the article draws upon content from other articles, the article per se is fairly new. After looking at it do you have any suggestions for improvement? Was it (for you): readable? Informative? Comprehensive? Did the structure seem to make sense? Thanks in advance for any comments you may have! Sdsds 02:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
