Edit Frequency

Ahoy! I was going through the recent changes, and I ran across the edits to Grimreapa. If you'd like to see the page history, take a look here, and I think you can see why it's sticking out at me :-/. I don't want to discourage you from editing, because it's good to see you putting so much effort into improving this page... but it's always good wiki practice to get into using the Preview button instead of just posting stuff directly, because that way you know if you like what you're about to post before you actually do, so you can catch things like spelling/grammar, line breaks, formatting, and so on without having to waste time and effort making tons of minor edits. In any event, welcome to the YPPedia, and good luck in future! Nicksterv 09:24, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

Repeat links and over-capitalization

Please try to avoid over-capitalizing words. Thank you.

According to the Wikipedia manual of style on links, there is seldom a need to link multiple times to the same article, let alone within a single section. Only having one link to an article helps reduce the effort required to update links.

Article "ownership"

User pages belong to individual users and should generally not be edited by anyone else. However other articles are free to be edited by any user. Putting a message in such articles saying "Do not edit his page it is how he wants it to be" makes no sense. -- Faulkston 17:24, 14 April 2008 (PDT)


Ahoy there! Just a word in your ear: even if a crew or flag has disbanded, we like to leave their encyclopedia entry in place, just for posterity and so that articles that link to them don't suddenly break. Your edit has been reverted for this reason... nothing personal, we just like to look to the future. Fair winds! -- Faulkston 15:30, 20 April 2008 (PDT)
