Welcome
Hi, welcome to Editable Codex! Thanks for your edit to the Anmanivas page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Fenyx4 (Talk) 23:22, October 1, 2010

Thanks for helping out
Always great to see another editor! Dungy 00:29, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, welcome aboard! It's great to have more people who are enthused about contributing aboard. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. --Warder Dragon 10:38, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Btw, what we DO have is a partial Sytle Guide, here: Editable Codex:Style guide. Please do use it as guideline when editing articles. Thanks!--Sega381 18:29, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Got the hint! Working on re-formatting my refs. Much thanks. :) Blu3vib3 07:35, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Stop rewirting the tenses
Stop rewirting the tenses in character articles. The present tense is intentionally not used after the introduction sentence. Thanks to you I now have to correct all of them.--Tribun 00:32, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * In fact, we have NOT decided on this matter yet. There are some articles written in the present tense, and others in the past tense. We should decide on this in the Style Guide, and stick to that convention. And Tribun, there is no need to be so rude.--Sega381 00:36, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I didn't see any discussion on a lot of pages and felt that the present tense made more sense, given that the actions of the player in each game are not fixed. I will cease to edit tense until this issue is resolved. (Blu3vib3 00:56, October 2, 2010 (UTC))


 * I've raised the subject here: Editable Codex talk:Style guide.--Sega381 01:08, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK guys, we've successfully made a horrible mess out of all those gargoyle articles. Seriously, Tribun, stop and think before shooting your mouth off... again. I tire of your foul attitude. Some of the edits Bluevibe made were good, some weren't, but you erased all of his work, including introducing a LOT of errors back into the work that he corrected. PLEASE, stop using this wiki as an ego trip, and in the future, don't just revert edits like that. Dungy 02:43, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm actually a girl, but thanks for the support. I'm new to this wiki and might be a little over-enthused about my newfound love of Gargish as a conlang. I also realize I have a tendency to create overlong, terrible, Faulkner-esque sentences, so thanks for all of the grammar edits, Dungy. :) (Blu3vib3 02:49, October 2, 2010 (UTC))
 * Yeah, don't take it personally. He seems to do this to noobs. You should have seen what he tried to pull when I first delurked. I'm surprised I haven't reached my boiling-point yet.
 * The rest of us will allow you to learn from your mistakes, and eventually it'll jell with you. AngusM 03:33, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, don't sweat it, the idea of a wiki is that anyone can edit it, so if someone makes a mistake, others can correct it. Don't let this lower your enthusiasms!--Sega381 12:14, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * My enthusiasms are hard to lower! I'm a person on the Internet! 'Sides - the other wiki-ing I do is about depressing things like shootings and prisoner advocacy and crying kittens, so Ultima-drama feels like a refreshing summer breeze. Blu3vib3 07:39, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Group hug, kumbajah and s'mores around the campfire? ;) --Warder Dragon 12:22, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Bring the marshmallows and I'm game. Blu3vib3 07:39, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Blaine
Blaine is now my hero. Thank you for bringing the epic story of The Mustache War to me. I always enjoyed having Blaine in my party but I was never sure why... Until now. -- Fenyx4 13:29, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously Blue, how the heck did you ever find that? That is awesome. Dungy 17:23, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * How did I find it? Paper procrastination can push a woman to unforetold extremes. :) (Blu3vib3 17:32, October 7, 2010 (UTC))

Important wiki decision
Hi, you may be interested in contributing the discussion we're having here: Forum:Wikia's new skin. It may affect the future of our wiki. Thanks!--Sega381 02:45, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Lord British
I've been enjoying your various rewrites since you joined here, but good grief, your overhaul of the Lord British article was epic. Fantastic work! --Terilem 06:34, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking the same thing. You do a fantastic job when you rewrite articles. Dungy 10:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, great job! Pleeaase do come with us when we move this site to our new homw. And btw, thanks a lot for starting to use the new ref templates! They will save us a lot of time in the future in order to easily tweak the references templates. A small notice: it is not mandatory to put each parameter in the template in a new line, in the template page it's shown that way in order to see them more easily. Inside articles, you can put just a space, instead of a newline, between parameters. Though newlines make the references easier to modify, I think they can make the page content flow more confusing when one's editing, as they break the paragraphs.--Sega381 12:28, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'll keep the template formatting in mind for the future. Blu3vib3 18:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back
Welcome back to the new Codex! Glad to see you made it through the site change!--Sega381 20:00, 3 November 2010 (PDT)

Thank you for tackling the cities
The quality of the city articles has been bothering me for awhile. Thanks for deUltima7izing them and generally making them spiffy. It is VERY appreciated! Dungy 14:32, 4 November 2010 (PDT)
 * Seconded! The standard of writing around here has really gotten a shot in the arm lately. I wish I had the diligence to perform so many rewrites of this magnitude. --Terilem 22:26, 4 November 2010 (PDT)

Good work, but...
You do good work with your edits, but could you please stop the strange gibberish in the edit descriptions. Some, like me, use the recent changes to see what was done, and it being flooded with this nonsense starts to get annoying.--Tribun 12:49, 9 November 2010 (PST)


 * 10-4. Will do.--Blu3vib3 12:51, 9 November 2010 (PST)


 * Again, Tribun, no need to put it so rudely. I kinda like Blu3vib3 descriptions, but I do understand that they should be informative enough. I do believe that it is ok to add funny stuff in the edit descriptions, as long as they also contain the real description. I think that should be the way to go. And Tribun, though your message is good, try and re-read these things before submitting it, and tone them down please.
 * Btw Tribun, I am one of the people that uses the Recent Changes to see what's going on, and you haven't added one single letter to the edit descriptions in all your edits in the last weeks at least. I would appreciate if you (and everyone for that fact) could start writing small descriptions on the edits in the edit summary. But I don't see why you get so angry at Blu3vib3 writing funny edit summaries, when you never write anything on them...--Sega381 16:23, 9 November 2010 (PST)
 * Agreed. I have no issues with edit summaries being humorous as long as they are also informative. Their purpose is to make it possible for other editors to see what was changed and sometimes also why. As long as those criteria are met, I actually enjoy the occasional humorous remark. Why are you always so hostile, Tribun? --Warder Dragon 16:28, 9 November 2010 (PST)
 * I'm completely chill with toning down my rampant love of the absurd for the sake of people's comfort, although it's good to hear that somebody enjoyed my blithe remarks on Balron-os. --Blu3vib3 16:49, 9 November 2010 (PST)

You think I'm rude and hostile? For me that was just a perfectly reasonable request. Maybe English-speakers really have different standards for rudeness. However, I did not lie, all the absurdity did start to annoy me.--Tribun 17:39, 9 November 2010 (PST)


 * Seriously. I'm chill as a cucumber regarding my descriptions, but I've gotten the impression that this sort of criticism has been made of you frequently, and I've thought to myself that, "Yeah. It probably has something to do with the difference in first languages," which is why I don't try to sweat overmuch regarding your occasional barbs. But rather than see this as a source of endless confrontation, might I suggest seeing it as a learning experience?


 * English is a pretty bizarre language, and I freely admit, I wouldn't have the dedication to learn it as a second tongue, but as a person with a passing love for linguistics (as any student of Latin eventually becomes) might I suggest that you take the conflict as a way to better learn the subtleties of English? You speak it very competently, and it seems a shame that so much strife should arise from what may be differences in native speech. My fiance, a devotee of Japanese, has really opened my eyes to the extent which small changes in a foreign tongue can really impact its sentiment.


 * What could you have done differently? The base of the problem is probably in the terms "gibberish" and "nonsense." They are overstatements of what I was doing, and if I were the sort to get offended by this, I might see it as derisive of my style in general. Rephrasing it as a more exacting phrase, such as "farcical summaries" would probably have raised fewer hackles. You did a good job by opening with a compliment (I don't think there's a language in which that isn't good protocol.), but you also used the vague "some" to imply that people aside from you were offended by my humorous stylings. Being direct and using a simple "I" might have personalized the statement, making it clear that this was something that bothered you in particular, rather than bothering some nebulous collective.


 * Hope that helps clear things up. Peace and additional kumbayas around the campfire.--Blu3vib3 18:05, 9 November 2010 (PST)


 * I, like Warder, have enjoyed the humorous summaries (as long as they remain also informative). And they are far superior to no summary which I admit I do too oft. -- Fenyx4 22:58, 9 November 2010 (PST)

Nice Rewrites!
Am enjoying your many contributions to the wiki -- might I suggest that, on any creature rewrites, you retain any appropriate information regarding appearance/associations/habits/weapons/etc? Your articles are, for the most part, highly superior to anything I've written, but do try not to negate anything that could be considered important to those seeking particulars on a given creature. Thanks! --Polygoncount 12:16, 1 December 2010 (PST)
 * Cleaning up and rewriting all of the Ultima VII NPCs is an awfully ambitious task. I salute you! Dungy 15:10, 24 December 2010 (PST)

Since you are back
Seeing the masses of references you put into your newest work, I have to make you aware that we've had a serious discussion about that here Talk:Captain Fox. Please read it.--Tribun 20:50, 6 February 2011 (PST)


 * Really, references do serve a very good purpose, and a handful of them spread over several paragraphs just doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I actually think the way Blu3vib3 handles them is ideal. --Terilem 21:18, 6 February 2011 (PST)
