Please don't change the format of dates. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this article.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. Fleet Command (talk) 06:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing that to my attention; I had been over much of the Wikipedia Manual of Style, but due to my relative newness I had not come across that section yet. I had not realized the source for the release info was in the download link, changing that was simply a dumb mistake on my part. If I make any other Wikipedia format mistakes like that please let me know. HMman (talk) 21:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

You are welcome. And thank you for your understanding and politeness. You needn't worry; that's how we learn and everything is alright. :) Cheers. Fleet Command (talk) 06:23, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Busy beaver

I've reverted your addition of the no footnotes box at the top of busy beaver. Most sections in that article are, in fact, cited. They are not links (they merely state the citation in text). But if that is your concern, I'm sure you can easily link them in some way (I don't particularly know what the best way is). If you still think it needs better citation, please start a section in the talk page so that we can understand the best way to address this. Thanks, — sligocki (talk) 23:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I see what you mean, thank you for taking the time to explain the revision to me beyond what was said in the edit summary box. I am not disputing your change, but wouldn't the wording of the "no footnotes" box imply it would also be applicable for situations such as on that page? HMman (talk) 00:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

You're probably right, the "no footnotes" box is probably meant to suggest that articles have more footnotes. But it's not clear to me that that's a big shortcoming of the busy beaver article. Like I said, if you think the article could use more footnotes instead of text citations, I think it would make sense to add them rather than simply adding a note on the top. Cheers, — sligocki (talk) 00:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thank you for your time. HMman (talk) 00:32, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Re: Innocent Life

The template automatically puts North American releases before Australian releases. The game was released in Australia before North America. By putting two separate templates, the release dates are in order. ~ Hibana (talk) 15:09, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah, thank you, I wasn't aware of that. Regards, HMman (talk) 03:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC).

highly significant correlation between bone strength and muscle strength

In the osteoporosis article, in the risk factors, you removed: "* Weakness— a highly significant correlation between bone strength and muscle strength has been shown" (with citation PMID 8805035)

This is a precise statement, and the obvious conclusion is: If you do training which increases muscle strength (muscle building training), you can also prevent osteoporosis.

The often used term "weight bearing exercise" for prevention of osteoporosis is less precise, even "walking" is regarded as "weight bearing exercise".

So I recommend that the term "highly significant correlation between bone strength and muscle strength" is (again) explicitly mentioned in the osteoporosis article, to show that muscle building training is efficient for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wqq (talk • contribs) 20:48, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

I have reworded the section per your suggestion. Regards, HMman (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC).

Got your messages

Thanks, I'll make notes now and reduce the number of changes. Glad you like the improvements to the article. FYI, any user is free to delete anything from their talk page whenever they wish. 842U (talk) 16:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. I realize users may delete messages from their talk page whenever they like, but when a recipient deletes messages without explanation, it gives the impression that the recipient so disagreed with the message (or was so stuck-up) that they weren't even going to do the sender the courtesy of responding. Hence my frustration. Regards, HMman (talk) 16:20, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

If this is really about courtesy, you might refrain from calling another editor names. Thanks. 842U (talk) 16:23, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Romaji

Hi, FYI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Katakana#Romaji — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.214.75 (talk) 02:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, although I am a little confused as to why you feel I'd be able to help with this. I've just started learning Japanese, so I'm afraid I'm not yet qualified to comment on the romaji issue. Regards, HMman (talk) 03:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC).

Hugh Cairns

Hi. The image is for a VC and bar. I know I am being pedantic but he only received the VC (only 3 people received a second award) - so removing the image, not just from his page but from a bunch of others. Hope that makes sense. Gbawden (talk) 14:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

I see, thank you for the explanation. I'll revert my revert. Regards, HMman (talk) 14:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC).

Pitaya edit

Wasn't questioning the definition, HMman, but rather the sentence structure. Your edit is fine. Thanks for checking. --Zefr (talk) 15:39, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree the sentence structure isn't as nice now, but the reverted revision gave the impression pseudohematuria referred to the coloration of the feces as well, when it does not. Perhaps a bit pedantic on my part, but I would rather have accuracy than good sentence structure. Thanks for the reply. Regards, HMman (talk) 16:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC).

Re: Calling All Dawns cover

Weird! I guess this was some kind of performance issue, I've seen that once in a while (when both images have the same pixel size, I guess the background process that creates all thumbnails is slower). I see the better version too, now. -- Luk ^talk 10:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
