Hello Awexome, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, {{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Signature

Hey there, Retromaniac! It be me again. I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to your signature in the talk page for The Fort Wayne Locomotive. If you want to learn how to customize your signature, go to HRWiki:Signature. For now, just user four tildes (~~~~) to sign your posts on talk pages. This will provide a link to your (currently nonexistant) user page. Oh, and another thing: you might want to use the Edit summaries more often. They make patrolling recent changes a lot easier for us. Keep on helping the Wiki! Has Matt? (talk) 03:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Preview

Hey! Thanks for adding that fact to the DVD commentary for Ballad of The Sneak. I want to encourage you to use the handydandy "Show preview" button, though. That way you can avoid eight consecutive edits moving punctuation around and trying to get links to work. —AbdiViklas 00:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hip Hop

Please do not bring back a deleted page. Hip Hop does not have enough references in FCUSA to warrant a page. Plus, "Not Talkin' Bout Butter" is most definitely not a hip-hop song. ยค The Dang, Pom Pom, you see that? That's a nice golbol. Talk to me. 22:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. When editing a page, there is a field labeled "Summary" under the main edit-box. Please remember to always fill in the summary field, as even a short summary is better than no summary. Indicate in the edit summary field why you changed the page; this will greatly help other contributors in understanding your reasoning. Thanks.  Loafing 22:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC) (P.S.: This is especially important when you know that someone will disagree with your edit)

Dude, I really mean it. It's not very helpful to not use the summary.  Loafing 01:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
In this case, for example, I would have nearly reverted your edit because I couldn't see why you deleted that fact. Only because I gave you the benefit of the doubt and spend some time to see what was going on did I not revert it. In this case, an edit summary like "already mentioned under Trivia" would save others unnessecary work and ensures that your edits don't get reverted. A wiki is teamwork, and if you work in a team, you have to communicate your actions. Loafing 21:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Using Show Preview

Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks. — Lapper (talk) 16:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Recent page creations

Hey there, Retromaniac. We're all very glad that you're so eager to contribute to HRWiki with an abundance of new articles, but it appears the majority of these have been deleted, or are up for some form of transfer. We understand that you may be frustrated by this, but the answer is not to continuously create more of these "word running gag" pages. Such pages include Lurker, Nerd, Freakin, Lack of a visible mouth, Lack of visible hands/fingers, For Good or For Awesome, and Hip Hop. You'll find that articles of or involving minor action repeats and/or repititions of words aren't going to stay on the wiki for a very long time. We suggest contributing to all ready existing articles, and once in a while creating a notable article that you can assure isn't like the others. Thank you for your time. — Lapper (talk) 12:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I sincerely apologize for my obsessive page creations. I suppose I do it out of boredom. I will work on reducing things, and focus on enhancing other pages. I would like to inform you that Freakin was not my doing, so don't blame me for that. Retromaniac 16:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding. And I apologize for that one. — Lapper (talk) 16:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
No prob bob. Retromaniac 16:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Main Page 10

Hey there Retromaniac. Please see the edit summaries as well as the links they contain for info as to why Flash artifacts are not notable. Thanks. — It's dot com 03:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

User Page

I see that you've been contributing to the wiki quite a lot. You should make a user page so that people can know more about you. Also, people without user pages are usually very new or trolls, so it might boost your rep a bit, too. -Brightstar Shiner 22:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Retro. Good jorb with The Beatles :-) Loafing 07:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


Using Show Preview

Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks. --DorianGray

Sorry to burst your bubble... but

  • Um, there is no peasant's quest movie. THERE WILL NEVER BE ONE. See for yourself. Anyway, I think Strong Bad is pretty cool. Merry Christmas, TheYellowDart(t/c)
    • Ohhhhh. LOL

Last defenders of Pac-Man

I know you as the person who first suggested the rhyming 3 is 4 toniters. I was the person who explained why (rhyming 2 sylables, then 1 sylable). Now we are the only ones voting to accept it. Wow.

Removing talk threads

Please don't remove discussions from any talk page (with the possible exception of this one). They are an important part of our wiki record. Thanks. — It's dot com 00:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Apology

Hey Retromaniac, I feel I must apologize for my edit summary yellings on Nintendo. I have been known to lose all sanity at certain points in the day. (And, I'm sorry my apology is late. I have no time on weekdays. ;-)) Bluebry 23:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It's alright. Retromaniac 03:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
