Linux

It is hard to tell whether the anon on the Linux page is merely a troll, but it would be easier to support your position if you discussed it on the Talk page rather than reverting and putting nasty comments in the edit summary. -- Gnetwerker 01:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Capitalization of headings

You recently capitalized the H in "Band history" in the Pink Floyd page. However, I'd like to point out that the correct Wiki style for headings is to capitalize only the first letter, as shown by Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Headings. Thanks for plurifying (is that a word?) the article though to follow standards for British pages. I'm going to un-capitalize the heading, if you don't mind. Thanks.

Not a problem. I think I just undid someone else's edit made in the interim, actually, but go right ahead. Chris Cunningham 19:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

PlaneScape: Torment links

Please leave the page alone. Many of those links you thoughtlessly removed had large significance with the fanbase and were very good resources. You should be deleted. You never even played the game, did you?

You're not helping your case by acting like I shot your dog. If you want the article to improve, add something of value to it. Wikipedia is not the place for fanboys to build their shrines. For what it's worth, it's easily one of my top five games, which is why I'd like the article to not be of embarrassingly poor quality. Chris Cunningham 15:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

It was better before you came along. Now when people want to learn more about the game, the important fansites and guides will not be available to them. All the sites I had linked to were useful in some way. --Jesse Mulkey 15:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Those sites all have the same information! And, once again, there are rules for this kind of thing! This is an encyclopedia. It is not a game resource site. The article on bees does not contain links to beekeeper websites. The article on aircraft does not help one to become a pilot. Grow up. Chris Cunningham 15:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

No one else actually agrees with you. Find at least ten people who do, then maybe I see through your eyes. And how is clarifying author information and adding resources vandalism? You have no idea what you are talking about. I will never stop reverting your edits.--Jesse Mulkey 15:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I tire of this. If you have a problem with my edits, I implore you to seek arbitration before I do. Chris Cunningham 15:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

HA! Would you honestly believe I didn't spot that? Chris Cunningham 14:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

coderwiki

why'd you take the link off? i'm a php nut and i'm starting a wiki for it. i think people should be able to find a good place to get info in wiki form. if there is a better place for the link i'm open to suggestion --da404LewZer 06:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Tutorial links and so are are far better placed in Wikibooks. Chris Cunningham 07:42, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Unix

Hi - you reverted some changes I did to Unix earlier, removing the linked dates, as the dates weren't significant. As the full date (month, year, day) was present, I understand the link was valid - it allows user preferences for dates to work, see [[1]]. If I'd merely found a "2001" year, say, and linked that, it would have been correct to revert it. However, in this case, such dates should be fully linked, so that January 31, 2001 becomes 2001-01-31 or 2001-31-01 or whatever, based on the user's preferences. Hope you agree with this approach. --Oscarthecat 04:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, not a problem. Overlinking dates is a pet peeve of mine, but if people would rather have them linked then I'm not going to get into an edit war about it (especially when there's the format advantage you mention.) Chris Cunningham 08:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
