Gender neutralization

Thanks for correcting that gender neutralization issue on those 2 userboxes I made >.o Can't believe I forgot to make sure I used proper terminology! 404 User Not Found 23:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Wear it with pride!

Congratulations again, old chum. You have been around the Wiki for ages fixing and polishing things, and you certainly deserve it. Esquilax 23:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Note to Self

Just because you haven't had any particularly ugly incidents with "Show Preview" doesn't mean that you can slack off. --LordKelvin 07:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Yo, about the class match-up pages.

I ran through and looked at the style guide for strategy.

"Strategy pages contain advice instead of neutral statements about gameplay, so writing "you," giving commands, being accurate and being brief are preferred to encyclopedic language. Whenever applicable, the scope of a strategy should be specified. In some cases, this will require phrases that are normally weasel words, such as "probably" and "on occasion."


Anyway, you know I'm already going through and revising those pages. So with the aid of the style guide, I'm against not using "you" to address the reader. Thoughts? I should be able to remove the cleanup tag once I'm done, right? Also, nice mech on the front page. I notice these things! -- InShane 22:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


The thing is, "you" is fine if used occasionally, but it sounds unprofessional when it's applied a few hundred times in an article (which it is on the community strategy pages). I would much prefer that it be used as little as possible, and if it can be avoided then all the better. --LordKelvin 02:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
My main concern as of now is the basic strategy pages, which you marked for cleanup. It sounds really awkward to say "A Pyro should do this" instead of "You should do this (as a Pyro)." I have the feeling that you've probably talked to Zoolooman about this before, but he's the one that convinced me to the "you" side, especially because it flows better. -- InShane 02:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Due to their relative length, I wouldn't be against using "you"s on the basic strategy pages, it's just that it starts to grate in the match-ups and community strategy sections. Since you're the one who's keeping an eye on those sections though, I'd say feel free to edit them however you see fit. --LordKelvin 02:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Ah, cripes, I also meant class match-ups. Those pages, as of my edits, contain general tips for class-to-class fighting, sorta like "basic class match-ups." Actually, that reminds me of an idea - Basic Match-up pages, and Community Match-up pages, like the ones you're creating on the Community Strategy Pages. -- InShane 02:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Well then, feel free to remove the cleanup tags and edit them as you see fit. And as for the community match-ups pages, that's what I'm actually working on, I just want to try to actually create one of each section for each class before proposing it to a mod. --LordKelvin 02:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:Comment

Could you have a look at it again? I'm relatively certain {{c}} used to produce Pictogram comment.png Comment, but it doesn't anymore. --CruelCow (talk) 14:18, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

  • Hello.It's me,~www~,again.I appreciated that you approved my request of deleting the copied zh-hans pages.
    Actually,what I marked was just a small part of it.There are much more pages which have been copied by Chinese.They pissed me off, I'm in fury toward them right now.
    Therefore, I think I will mark more pages in these days.Hope you don't think it's weird or something.Because the Chinese had done this kind of act for a long time, and they left many copied pages.I'm done with them.I want to make this horrible act end.
    I hope you and and other admins can continue accepting my requests of deletion in the future, I will be very thankful for that.

You cleaned up multiple community strategy pages. The unruly, chaotic, messy, community strategy pages. No more needs to be said.

Congrats. :3 --Stevoisiak 23:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)W

Sorry about that

Comm. Strategy Edit

Hey LK.

Apologies for the aggressive editing. During my time on Wikipedia, I was usually encouraged to "be bold" with edits and felt little need for the section considering the "match up" and "anti-class" strat pages do a similar job anyway - plus I felt that the section made the rest of the article feel quite bloated. Although, to be fair, I was reading the Spy Strat article beforehand and got a little annoyed that things like cloaked reload time animations were written down there.

Still, apologies for the "unadvised", should we say, edit. Still, I'd like to propose a proper "manual of style" for the community strategy articles. It seems, perhaps being their nature, that their content seems inconsistent with each other - perhaps it's something yourself and I could start working on? :D Regards. --Leftism 19:49, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent Oktoberfest edit

There are multiple pages where there is additional information on obscure patch notes. These additions are in brackets and are used to clarify. I don't see why you are suddenly against this.--Focusknock 05:32, 17 August 2011 (PDT)
