Recent edit to your user page
Hi, I've recently made an edit to your user page to prevent the template links forming by adding <nowiki></nowiki> tags around the templates.
This is because unlike wikipedia we use and value the special pages such as the Wantedpage and these erroneous red links throw off our ability to make judgments concerning what pages need editing or creating. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 18:13, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Starting DWM articles
Thanks for starting DWM 448. However, it's important to start such articles with the basic details being correct. Ever since DWM starting putting actual dates, as opposed to months, on the cover of their magazines, that date has never been the date of publication. Rather, it's the date of expiry — the time that newsstand owners are supposed to remove that issue and replace it with the next one.
Also, I'm seeing the cover date of 448 as 27 June 2012. Are you sure you haven't confused the 449 cover date with the 447?
I know that you may currently see a lot of sloppy language in the leads of recent DWM issues, but it's important that we convey this most basic of information correctly.
Please click here for more information.
On another point, please do not include an image link, if that image does not yet appear on the site. While we generally do encourage red links, they are not recommended for images. If a person clicks on that red link to add it, they will not get credit for having added the picture in the Game of Rassilon. You may not care about this game, but a number of our editors do. We want to make sure that they get full points, especially if they've taken the time to scan the image.
Thanks again for your edits!

- Also, I suppose the bigger point is to just use the standard format for adding issues. This format can be found by pulling down to "DWM issue" on the "standard preloads" dropdown under the "edit summary" of the standard (which is to say, not Monobook) editing window. It's important to use this standard, because it has a lot of time-saving coding already embedded. Read more here.

- Hi! I'm going through the WantedPages, which is why it may seem I'm making articles haphazardly. Thanks for the headsup on DWM. I looked online and that's the date I found for issue 448. Since 447 was put out in May, it seemed right. But if incorrect, please feel free to fix. I've been rather active on Wikipedia, so I'm used to that, doncha know. Regarding images, I wasn't sure, but that policy is rather what it's like on Wikipedia, so that's cool. I probably won't be making more DWM articles soon, though, since there don't seem to be anymore at the top of the WantedPages.
- Anyhoo, thanks for the notes. Do please drop me more lines should I need more noodging. Cheers! --Ebyabe ☎ 17:13, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
Blogs
Noticed that you tried to start a blog. We don't offer blogs on this wiki. Also, do please remember to use {{delete|reason you think a page should be deleted}} when you mistakenly create a page. Using {{delete}} puts pages in Category:proposed deletions, thereby making it easier for admin to maintain the wiki.

Infobox adding
Some articles are short enough that they don't need an infobox. The infboxen are basically for summarising the article, and if it's not particularly long it doesn't need an infobox. I've removed the infobox from Betrothal of Sontar as it's far too short to need an infobox. I've also removed the infobox from Constitution III as the only additional info it brought to the article was its origin. I've incorporated this info into the article. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:53, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
Section stub
Hi! I removed the "section stub" that you placed on Goth Opera and Evolution. I did it because the placement was messing up the look of the lists on the pages. If you want to put the tags back, I suggest you play around with the placement of the tag, and use the "preview" button to see how it looks before publishing. Thanks!
