Style
Please remember to write articles in-universe, that is, instead of saying "X happened during the events of Y.", say "X was an event that yadda yadda yadda. (PF: Y)" ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rufus
I've only just learnt how to view page histories for changes, and am getting quite excited at the thought that bio-data on rather obscure comic strip story characters may have come to light! I can only assume thats why you've created red links! Is there something I've missed?? The Librarian 23:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Content removal/deletion
When removing all content (ie from pages/categories) than will then require deletion, could you please put {{proposed deletion}} on the page, just so admins know to delete it it (rather than it just disappearing into the page structure some where. --Tangerineduel 14:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Categories
While some of your additions are ok, it's generally established that a category should have more than one entry to justify its creation. --Tangerineduel 17:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the correction
That was a dumb mistake. -- Q1712 17:41, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Assistance with a discussion on forum
Hi, I'd value your input/discussion on this topic in the forums Forum:Italics or Quotation marks?, I'm not comfortable making a ruling solely based on a running conversation between myself and CzechOut and would value other regular editors' points of view on this issue. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 06:29, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Best practices with stubs
Heya :) In restructuring the way we handle stubs, I"Ve noticed that you seem to have developed a habit of simply adding stub categories to pages, completely bypassing the use of templates. This is undesirable for two reasons:
- Readers can't easily see that the article is a stub
- It makes maintenance much more difficult than it needs to be
The second point is particularly important to remember. If you use the template {{character stub}}, the category is automatically added to the page. This means that if we ever have a need to change the category, we'd just make a one-line change in the template code, and all the pages that had the template would change over instantly. Note, though, the important qualifier there: all the pages that had the template. Since a number of pages on which you've worked, including skin suit, Angboda and others, don't have the template, I have to manually edit those pages to change the categories over. So, please, remember to use stub templates, not stub categories. Thanks :)

Kangs
Thanks for helping out with those meddlesome Kangs. Specifically for creating Last Yellow Kang as I had not idea where I was going to put that; great choice of title by the way.--Skittles the hog - talk 21:01, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Check spelling of categories before creating
It should be franchise, not frenchise. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:52, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
Mammals
Hey, could you please reinstate the category "Earth mammals" to all the articles you removed it from. Otherwise the achievements don't work. It won't be like that forever, just while the track is enabled. Thanks--Skittles the hog - talk 08:06, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
