-	Welcome to the wiki Toby! I liked your recent [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=secret_identity&diff=247578&oldid=247577 edit] on [[secret identity]]. Again, welcome! (informally). --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 19:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

-	Thanks buddy! I've actually been around for a few months now, doing the odd format and prose edit. I'm don't have the ambition/patience to make new pages or sweeping edits, but I am a grammar and readability Nazi, so I help where I can. It's nice to get some recognition, though. :) Thanks again!

-	:Ah! Makes sense! Grammar and readability (er) Nazis are welcome here! It didn't occur for me to check this page's history to see if you'd been welcomed before. Oh well, alas, again (for the third time) welcome! --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 19:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

-	~~== Periods and quotation marks ==~~
-
-	Hey TobyTheRobot, I saw your edit summary and thought I'd let you know that HRWiki style actually dictates that we don't follow the usual American standard for putting periods and commas inside quotation marks. See [[HRWiki:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks\|this]]. So, that's why things are written that way. Talk atcha later, {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
-
-	:Well, don't I feel foolish. Can I ask why that is? Is putting punctuation outside of quotes standard elsewhere in the English speaking world? Is my way just "American?" I mean-- "American"?--[[User:TobyTheRobot\|TobyTheRobot]] 21:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
-	::Actually, yes. In Britain, at least, the rule is to put periods and commas inside quotes only if they belong to the quoted material. For example: ''He once said, "Hustle and bustle are like my right and left arms."'' But would go outside if it were: Hustle and bustle are like my "right and left arms". In the last one, the period doesn't apply to the quoted material. We seem to use a similar standard here. (Dot com or someone else can correct me if I got this wrong; I never seem to be able to explain this rule very well.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
-	~~:::Gotcha. I'll do it that way then, although old habits die hard. :) Thanks for the heads-up --[[User:TobyTheRobot\|TobyTheRobot]] 15:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)~~
