Thanks a ton Loeth. I appreciate your time in helping create this article. I apologize if I came off as bullish before. Looks as if I've got some reading to do before contributing more to the site. Again, thank you.

No problem. I noticed that the first thing that you did, though, was to change 301 Studios to [301STUDIOS]. This change doesn't comply with the manual of style because it is a typographical representation of a stylized version of the company's name. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, have a look at the Level 3 Communications article. You'll notice that in the logo the "3" is in parenthesis, the "Communications" is sort of like subscript, and that there's no spacing. If we followed that standard in the text, it would be written as Level(3)Communications, but as you can see it's simply written out as the name of the company. If "301 Studios" really doesn't have a space in the name, that's fine, but when it's written out, it should match the name of the company, not their stylized logo. Let me know if you have any questions! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 20:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, you might not know it, but oftentimes people leave messages in their edit summaries. You can see these messages by clicking the "history" tab at the top of any page. This tab also allows you to see all of the changes that have been made to a page, and even see the differences that each change made.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:301logo.gif)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:301logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 17:08, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
