Imprisoning War

Your work on the Imprisoning War page is very commendable. Great job on all you've done with it. User:Melchizedek/sig 02:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Episode Titles

You can pipe link all of them and it will save time when creating each episode's article. The pipe links will show up red and place it in the Wanted Pages, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Great work on the page. I'll point it out to someone to get a template made for the information such as the writer and voice actors, etc. User:Axiomist/sig 06:03, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I've got a short set of reviews of the Zelda cartoon up at everything2.com if you want to reference that for any details. Might be some handy information in there.

Re:About the edit war

That is fine man, I accept the apology and also apologize for any confusion or mistrust that has been caused. I agree with your idea to the detail, and that was what I was trying to suggest last night. I am very glad you have come back to the table and am very glad we have reached agreement. Perhaps we can work together on it to make it to what you described. I'd be very happy to help if I can. As far as citing sources, I am unsure about the coding required for it, since I was never very good with programming. Perhaps you can help me there. And I in turn can help you as well to craft the sections and bring the article up to speed as you said. For the record, I also agree this encyclopedia is far more credible than the other one, but in a respectful way. I can see that they may have different standards than we do, but they too love the series just as much as we do. I may not agree with all that they do, as I do believe we have a good policy and a good operation here, but as I said, I just live and let live. But I do agree with you that we have a more credible operation here and that we have good policies and a wonderful alliance with other sites, something that can't be said for the other wiki it seems. But they are entitled to their own standards if they like, even if we may not agree with their policies aesthetically. I appreciate your understanding and willingness to work together though, and I look forward to helping in the effort to improve not just the Great Cataclysm but others alongside you as well.

Edits

I've noticed that you seem to make multiple edits to the same pages. I wanted to tell you that instead of submitting your work every time you add information/correct something, you can simply press the show preview button. This will allow you to preview your work before submitting it. Which results in less edits and also keeps the page histories clean.User:Mandi/sig 18:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

The edits of the same page, a few minutes apart, and for the most part small (<1000) get annoying. If you can use the "Show Preview" button or even go to your preferences and click the box to show the preview automatically. User:Axiomist/sig 03:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hyrule

Hey Ganondorfdude11, I saw you were helping with the work on the Hyrule article, and I thought I would ask perhaps if you would like to continue to help out with the restructuring of the article perhaps? I have been trying to restructure it to better meet standards for the wiki as well as look more organized, and you are one of the few that has shown interest in helping to put the meat on the bones of the article. An article like this is nearly overwhelming for one person to do alone, so I thought I would ask if you would be interested in continuing work on it and to collaborate with me and others working on it to get the article done in as quick and efficient a manner as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated with it. And I hope you don't take offense at me replacing what you wrote on the sections about the appearances, I just wanted to make them more detailed about the plot of the games and the implications each has for Hyrule in those games, as was suggested to me by a couple of the admins in their vision for the article. If you could help add even more to what you wrote in some of those or in any of the other sections, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm just glad someone else is showing interest in helping. ;) Link87 18:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure. I added the "wars' section underneath the history section and am trying to flesh out the "appearances by game" section. I style of writing seems a bit more lacoic than yours, I tend to just state the important stuff and leave it at that. Maybe you could say something about the plot of each game in the "Appearances by game" section?Ganondorfdude11 18:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, add the plots of the games and the parts that affect or involve Hyrule at large in them in the Appearances by Game section that you created. So yes, that's precisely what I had in mind as well. One area you could probably be of great help on is the Races section too, since those are more just facts about the races and how they've changed throughout Hyrule's history. We can also expand upon the section regarding wars and invasions as you suggested as well, so that is a good idea. Link87 18:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

It looks like somebody went and wiped the entire "appearances by game section" because it was "unnecessary plot summary."Ganondorfdude11 22:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

That's because it was. The majority of it was useless game synopsis. If you want to add those sections back, please refrain from making it a 40k kb page with 12 different game summaries. Maybe describe how Hyrule has changed with each game, but that should be it - they do not need to be large, cumbersome sections with copious amounts of information. -- Xizor 22:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually Xizor, I've had other admins (Dany and Axiomist to name a few) that actually want more detail in the history or appearance sections of the article. I was asked to expand upon the stories and how they affect Hyrule in the appearances section, so please let us continue work on things uninterrupted and we can cut things everyone thinks is too much when we're done. This has been a lot of work for those of us that have been trying to work on the article, and seeing that none of the admins that have been here for over a year did anything with this article in all this time, that doesn't leave much room for criticism toward those of us that are trying to improve it "as we see fit", like the label says. Link87 00:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

That sounds acceptable to me, I'm going to just mark things as patrolled and not touch anything until the two of you independently tell me or other staff members that you are done. At this point some trimming will likely take place. The many readers have been finding redundancies and I'll get them to hold off on the whole thing bc the wiki loses when tempers flare up. User:Axiomist/sig 01:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

As I told Christopher, there were many of us who thought the article was bulky and that the entire section should be removed - it was not an independent decision on my part. As I also told Christopher, I'll hold off on reducing it again, but if the article only continues to get larger and larger, then that's not the point. Do not summarize each game - mention why it affects Hyrule, but after that, we don't need to know the story of each game. That's what the pages about each game are for. --Xizor 10:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
