Re: Tremulous Maps Catagorie

Considering some other things, like The Simpsons have catagories for their episodes, and have detailed lists and information about episodes, isnt detailed information about maps on the same plane? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paradox4600 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Ok, but just what do you plan on writing about each level? At least each Simpsons episode has a story to write about, guest appearances, etc. I just don't see there being much to write about. It's not necessary for every little thing to have a whole article. It's quite alright to have a quick mention in some encompassing article. If more needs to be said, move it into a List of Tremulous Maps article. No need to jump right into making separate articles for each map. --Imroy 19:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OpenGL

"When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent."

1. The rest of the article uses American spellings, I was making it consistent. 2. OpenGL was founded in America, making it an American topic.

Also, please note:

-ise / -ize

American spelling accepts only -ize endings in most cases, such as organize, recognize, and realize. British usage accepts both -ize and the more French-looking -ise (organise, recognise, realise). However, the -ize spelling is now rarely used in the UK in the mass media and newspapers, and is hence often incorrectly regarded as an Americanism,[22] despite being preferred by some authoritative British sources, including Fowler's Modern English Usage and the Oxford English Dictionary, which until recently did not list the -ise form of many individual words, even as an alternative. Indeed, it firmly deprecates this usage, stating, "The suffix, whatever the element to which it is added, is in its origin the Greek... (or) Latin -izare; and, as the pronunciation is also with z, there is no reason why in English the special French spelling in -iser should be followed, in opposition to that which is at once etymological and phonetic."[23]

Ban user?

Can we ban user Ragnarokmephy? They are repeatedly vandalising the "Nowra" page. They've also vandalised "The Chaser's War on Everything" and "Higher School Certificate", "User talk:Jwalte04" Joeyjoblah 10:09, 29 January 2007 (EST)

Yes, they were vandalising several pages. He/she has been warned and has appeared to stop for now. If they start up again we can go file a compaint over on WP:AIV. It's preferable to have a person stop vandalising voluntarily rather than blocking them and possibly inflaming the situation. Only in extreme cases (massive quantities of spam or vandalism) is a block applied without warning. Just be patient and always hand out warnings after removing vandalism. --Imroy 11:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, cool

Invitation (somewhat)

Hello, mm, Roy? How're you doing? I've noticed that you are interested in free software and C programming, so I'd like to ask if you would be interested in joining Xiph.Org Foundation to help improve the free media formats that one sees in places like Wp here. I know this is offtopic (as messages in talk pages are supposed to be Wp-related), but it may be of interest to you.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} 13:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your message

All in all, I agree. But if you're going to delete a perfectly valid question that I ask, you should do the same for everyone. The other guy looked like an idiot, didnt he? :)

Thanks

for catching that edit I made to photography. I was trying to remove vandalism, but I guess I reverted the wrong edit.
