[edit] Magic wiki

Since you're interested in the subject, please consider also posting your original Magic articles to the M:TG Archive wiki. I'm sure they'd appreciate your help. -- Netoholic @ 20:46, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Commencement Speaker page

Hi - you wrote: 'Much obliged on merging it with the commencement speech page!

No problem. Two stubs on almost identical topics - it just made sense to put them together. BTW - your user page confused me for a second - I drive past Knox College almost every day - but a different Knox College! Grutness...wha? 07:55, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Red link at the Word Association game

Umm... I think you may have misunderstood my question because I framed it poorly. Just got here refers to the game and not to WP. So my question is why do folks add a non-article-link in a game that you had obviously intended be real-article-linked? Sorry about the confusion.  :-) --hydnjo talk 20:03, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot, where is the "Word to Word" dis-association variant? Thanks. --hydnjo talk 20:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Whoops! Sorry I didn't catch what you were trying to say!
Hmm... how else will people know whether a real article exists on a word without making the link first? Personally, I think we're better off cleaning up after people rather than trying to force people to check for wiki page existence, since that's really not the point of the game anyway. I always thought it should be quick, easy, and fun.
The "dis-association" was short-lived, and is no more — but does exist in an archive. I suppose someone could restart it, if adding yet another game isn't too much... :) —Mproud 13:38, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Knox College Seal.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 16:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name (minor)

Which is a better name? WA2 or Last Word? Simply south 19:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Look, no one will look into the Casually observing players section for an invisible branch. And besides, how can people check to see if the words work?

What I'm saying is: I doubt people would have looked in that area if it doesn't belong. So I had to delete it. I'm sorry for any inconvenience but it really wasn't part of the plan. --Addict 2006 15:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

No objection from me. Thanks for being involved and actively improving the WA! —Mproud 03:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
