[edit] Fahrenheit 451 (computer game)
Please reconsider your decision to link to the Underdogs site, given that the entry concerned contains a potential copyvio. ShakespeareFan00 12:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Note that a recent debate about the deletion of the {{hotu}} template resulted in it being kept, and therefore it can be used. Use with discretion, of course, and particularly for those games that are freeware, or where the HOTU page has moer information than the Wikipedia page. >Radiant< 09:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Force edits
I decided to write you here rather than in the article. We ry to keep the article length down, so perhaps we don't need to add every teeny-tiny factoid to the article. I wroite here because I am hoping you can police yourself to help trim down your own edits and trim the rest of the article. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 03:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

- I agree that the article should be concise; we can eliminate a discussion of the powers by reference to the more complete independent article Force power. If this article is to be kept to a non-cumbersome length, though, should all citation info be moved to the footnotes? I can attempt to re-work it in the format exemplified by footnotes 3 and 4 in the Bene Gesserit article.
- Not as external sources, but as internally cited footnotes. Do you know how to do that? I know you are kinda new, and the learning curve for WP is kinda steep at times. Look at WP:CITE to learn how to create working citations. As well, you need to learn how to sign your posts, bud. You are doing it by hand, which can get tedious for you, to be sure. Simply type four tildes (which can be found by holding down the SHIFT key and typing the key about the TAB key four times. The symbol looks like this: ~). - Arcayne (cast a spell) 16:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I'll give it a shot. I've been doing more minor edits for a while but this is my first stab at wholesale revisions of articles. Thanks for your tips. Nizamarain 19:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
