Using Show Preview

Hello Mas12806, 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 recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, — Defender1031*Talk 21:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, please use it, it won't disappoint, i promise. — Defender1031*Talk 21:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to remind you about the show preview button. In case you don't knw that i'm referring to, it's

Hope that helps. — Defender1031*Talk 16:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Mas12806, I still see you are flooding recent changes despite being reminded more than once about the "Show preview" button. Besides the issue with flooding, you'll really save yourself time if you would try using it and only hit "Save page" when you are 100% sure your edit is going to appear how you want it. Also, it would be nice to see you start using the "Summary" field to describe each edit you make. OptimisticFool 18:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Pretty please?  Green Helmet 23:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it'd be great if you did this. Or at least replied to us. — Defender1031*Talk 17:05, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to remember to use the show preview button more. Sorry for replying late from previous messages I had not known that you wanted me to write you back. —Mas12806 (talk·contribs) 01:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. — Defender1031*Talk 01:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Related E-mails

If you wish to discuss wiki related matters, contact me via my talk page. I allow other editors to contact me via email only so that I can be contacted about off topic matters, or in the unlikely event that I need to be contacted about something that is not germane to a public discussion. Thanks.  Green Helmet 20:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Homestar Runner E-mails

A few notes regarding your recent changes to this page.

1) It is never acceptable to post someone's personal e-mail address in a public venue without their explicit consent. In this case, I doubt the e-mail address that was listed really was that person's personal address, so inaccurately listing it as such wasn't invasive after all, but still inaccurate and therefore not appropriate.

2) It is dubious whether the details of the MX records and related DNS information of homestarrunner.com should be documented in this knowledge base. In any case, the information you listed on the page was again inaccurate. That domain is not a secret part of the site. In fact it doesn't even respond to HTTP requests. It's part of their mail system.

3) To reiterate what I already mentioned on the talk page of the article, it's not in the purview of this knowledge base to provide a comprehensive contact sheet for all things homestarrunner.com. That is their business. Our mission is to document what they do put out there.

I understand you put work into the page, and I appreciate your effort on that. However, there was a notice at the top of the page indicating the probable transience of the page. Some of the information you added to the page should be documented, but not there. For example, the email addresses found on Thorax Corps' website would be appropriately listed in the corresponding articles for the pages of that site. Please don't think I'm attacking you, as it's not a personal matter. I just have a sensitive spot for respecting the distribution of other peoples' email addresses and publicly posting technical details of their systems.  Green Helmet 20:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Far more than spelling fixes

Your "spelling fixes" on Strong Badia the Free only accomplished removing all of the links, formatting, and mandatory templates on the page, in addition to fixing the spelling of a mere two words that I noticed. Why did you do that? If you copied the page's contents into a word processor, ran the spell checker, and pasted it back in, that would help to explain it... which is why you shouldn't do that. --Jay (Talk) 18:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
