Maybe you could try Category:Wikipedians from Essex and also place notices e.g. at Wikipedia:WikiProject England. Simply south (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Seems a good section, although you should fix the redirect for Emperor Zurg. As for my userpage image...huh? The Clawed One (talk) 05:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I got your revision and I took your advice into consideration. I put the review under reception. Am I going to get into trouble the way I did it?? Thanks for your help. Kingston8 (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok. So I took your advice and added a few lines. I think this is what you were looking for. Can you check it and let me know because I do not want it to get erased and I do not want to do it wrong. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. And sorry I am using The Orange Box as a test. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingston8 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

'Lo, can you tell me why you changed all the numbers from digits to words in The Orange Box? Standard accepted style (which I believe is reflected in MOSNUM) is that numbers from 0 to 9 inclusive (sometimes stretched to 19 inclusive) should be words (i.e. zero to nineteen) but anything ≥10 (or 20) should generally be written as digits (20, 50, 60, 1000, 65 536 etc.). It's not so much that having them as words is wrong, it's just that I was wondering why you particularly bothered to make the edit. 'A thousand' should also be 'one thousand'. Any particular reason you have for your hatred of all things numerical? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Please tell me exactly why the article:

• Is not notable, give evidence and refer to the policy on Wikipedia and just give some info on why it is not notable.

• Why it needs to be rewritten. I mean yes, fine, some sections or parts may resemble a fan site, (not sure though) but it is an article on a major species in the Half-Life series and needs to be included on Wikipedia. Remember, refer to the fansite policy as well.

Thanks, and I'll leave it alone if you reply with this stuff.

Well I believe the original version was from the SCL transcript of the Lore Panel at Blizzcon, but that's gone, so with a tweak of the wording you can use this. The Clawed One (talk) 20:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC) [1]

Wait, found another source, not sure if its valid though. Quote:

"As for Raynor, while Robert Clotworthy (the original voice of Raynor) has said he’d love to do Raynor’s voice again, Metzen loves a new guy that has come in to the studio and read for Raynor. He says from his, a creative, perspective he wants to get the character right and that this new guy is much closer to what he had originally envisioned for the character. But he does realize that we, as fans, have an emotional attachment to the original voice and they haven’t quite decided what to do on that one"

The new pic looks good. The Clawed One (talk) 21:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you'd want to word it, but a note about Raynor being bald in SC1 for his appearance section should be added. I also tweaked the SC2 section with a new reference. The Clawed One (talk) 23:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Made the minor change. Also, as a general note, I think Kerrigan's actions in the novel Shadow Hunters need to be mentioned on her page. The Clawed One (talk) 23:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

FOR THE INFO! Is it safe to say the headcrab article resembles a fan site? It has stuff that is not understandable by non-fans. JTBX (talk) 21:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Fully updated, including all the sub-boxes. let me know if there are any problems. Chris Cunningham (talk) 12:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

It was all done in Photoshop. :P David Fuchs ^(talk) 21:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Probably. Generally people like having a more concrete reference. In addition, it's helpful in shutting down fans who keep putting in erroneous info. It might take a little longer, but I think it's well worth it. David Fuchs ^(talk) 22:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I actually like it all white, it seems cleaner to me, but everyone's entitled to their own options. However in the regular character options there is a parameter for color, so you can leave it alone and have a clean look, or use a color to unify certain items. But the choice would be optimal, I think. David Fuchs ^(talk) 21:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I did some minor removal, but I do agree that you really can't compress the Starcraft/BW listings down. The only possible thing you could do is to remove the part about the psi emitters, and have it quickly go to how she was overrun... your call. Cortana has two paragraphs for the introductory appearance as well, so I don't think that's too bad. David Fuchs ^(talk) 12:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

you're citing the video game to begin with; while it's always nice to have the transcripts to back up the source, i don't have an problem with it. David Fuchs ^(talk) 19:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately my novel has scurried off, I'll try and find it and get the info back to you ASAP. Also, thanks for the new image for my user page, didn't even know the old one was gone. The Clawed One (talk) 21:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

K, got it. Ethan's infestation and rebirth takes place Chapter 13, Pages 175-178 (they make a big show of it). Mengsk says "Four years with no sign of the zerg, and then all of a sudden they show up on a remote planet which happens to be where you've set up a former black marketeer. I didn't get where I am today be believing in coincidence. Anything you'd care to tell me?" to Valerian, Chapter 3, Page 42. Anything else you need, let me know. The Clawed One (talk) 02:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Just one thing, I removed the part about Ethan being a Dominion mercenary, because he wasn't. The Clawed One (talk) 14:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Well Valerian funds him, but it's kind of a back-door deal. Officially he's a marketeer outside of Dominion influence. The Clawed One (talk) 14:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

You want me to make you a better version than the gif you have now? David Fuchs ^(talk) 02:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

How's this look? I can tweak it as much as needed. David Fuchs ^(talk) 23:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

didn't it pass? xenocidic (talk) 15:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining that. I was unaware. xenocidic (talk) 15:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

unrelated: "The boxed version still requires a Steam account to work" - gotcha, didn't know that. xenocidic (talk) 15:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Are you aware that a new editor submitted Characters of StarCraft to FAC? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It was nominated by a fairly new editor; please see talk page precedent for handling such situations. If you say it's not ready, I can withdraw it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually MobyGames lists two review scores per game. The first is the one off their own site, which is the one the template uses. The second is a compiled rank from published reviews called MobyRank (up to at least 5 are needed to count) and is based solely off those, making it a different score and qualifying it for the compiled score section.

Not second guessing you, just explaining myself and seeing if it should be put back with that reasoning or not.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Why do you consider the exact value inappropriate here? [3] Also when reverting items like this please provide reasoning, having good faith edits reverted without cause is a little bit WP:BITE. -Ravedave (talk) 19:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a10 second counter in the game when you use an uber. A "short time" could mean seconds or minutes. -Ravedave (talk) 00:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Not too long ago you left me some feedback regarding this article. I've done a lot more work on it and was wondering if you'd be able to look over it for me and give me some feedback. Thanks. -- Archangel Lucifer (talk) 06:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback - you have been most helpful. -- Archangel Lucifer (talk) 09:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The new wording's fine. My problem was saying that the features hadn't been seen in a multiplayer game, when the sources didn't support this. This was stated as one person's view, but represented as a general fact when it was just one reviewer's comment. Ask me if you need further clarification. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 16:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I was in the process of making the same revert to the caption at the same time. Good work on the article though, nearly there! Gazimoff (talk) 09:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
