Reverting the Ritualist icon
Hey Tadzio, can I ask why you reverted the Ritualist icon?  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 07:02, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I reverted it because the "padding" looked very bad and pixelated. Better to remake the icon than to stretch the dimensions of the old icon, I think.  I was looking at some of the rit builds, and I just couldn't get over the eyesore of stretched, pixelated rit icon. Tadzio 07:11, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Probably the cache didnt update.&mdash; ├ A ratak  ┤  07:16, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I'll revert it back and clear my cache and see if that was it. If it was, apologies go out to Biro.  Tadzio 07:24, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Yup, looks like my cache was the problem. Whoops.  Tadzio 07:28, 17 August 2006 (CDT)


 * ¬_¬ blaming me for shoddy workmanship! :P  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 07:57, 17 August 2006 (CDT)

Preview
Hullo! I don't know if you are aware but everytime you save an edit the wiki notes it in the Recent changes as well as your own Contributions. If you use show preview (at the bottom of the edit screen) you minimise the number of entries that you make in these lists allowing you to see which articles you edited at a glance and other people to see more recently edited articles. --JP 02:52, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I am aware of it and I use it. I also use the "minor edit" function when I make minor edits-- typo fixes that I miss in the general preview phase, mostly.  If you click on "preferences" and the "recent changes" tab on that page, you'll find a preference that "Hide[s] minor edits in recent changes."  If you follow my directions, you'll find little reason to pester me with your stupid complaints in the future.  Thank you.  Tadzio 05:15, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * lol, I assure you that it was meant as constructive criticism. I'm painfully aware that it's easy to miss stuff in preview.I personally find pasting my post into word and running a spell check over it a valuable exercise (I'm kinda Dyslexic). I checked your contribs before posting and at a glance it looked like you may not be using preview (lots of edits to the same items in a small space of time).
 * I find hiding minor edits a very hit and miss affair as some minor edits are intersting, others may be vandalism others are neither. --JP 05:30, 15 September 2006 (CDT).
 * My minor edits usually follow massive clean-up. Either I do it, or someone else does it a day later.  Usually the mistakes are grammar and readability related and aren't a problem of spelling (though I wish they were, I'd love to toss it in Word and be mistake free).  For example, the changes I made to the assassin build after I cleaned the article were:  1) removing an unintentional line return. 2) Removing the word "do" from a sentence that didn't need it.  3) Adding the  template to the page. 4) Added an "n" to an "a" so "an" would be the result. 5) And changed the phrase "cause significant damage to this build" to "can be a source of significant damage" because it made more sense in the sentence.  I appreciate the helpful place your criticism comes from, but I'm not sure what I can do to help you.  When I make a major clean-up or a new page I literally spend 25-50 minutes in preview editing, checking, editing, checking.  But without fail, I find minor quirks to fix after I submit.  Maybe there's a way you could block my minor edits?  :P  Tadzio 05:50, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't think that will be necessary. Seeing lots of edits by the same person on the same article in recent changes tends to erk me. Alot of the time it's someone who, although may be aware of preview, isn't aware of recent chages or even how handy their own "recent contibutions" can be. The fact that you do is enough for me :o).
 * On another note if you can come up with a better wording for my inital post, so people are less likley to take it the wrong way, (as I fear you may have initially) feel free to leave it on my talk page! --JP 05:59, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... count the Fs.
 * The reason I miss the mistakes I do is the same reason you probably didn't count the correct number of Fs. People tend to skip over certain words in a sentence while reading (particularly while skimming for major flaws).  My reaction to your initial criticism was because I already knew the information you gave me and I get frustrated at myself when I'm forced to make multiple minor edits because I missed mistakes during the main edit.  Apologies for my meanness.
 * If you want to change the tone of your recent changes warning, make it shorter and to the point, with luck this'll remove the patronizing tint. Something like, "You spammed the Recent changes list today.  If it wasn't avoidable, oh well.  But if you can use the "Show preview" feature to reduce the spam in the future, it would help alot in reducing clutter on the Recent changes list.  The "minor edit" feature is also useful in this regard.  Thanks and Happy Wiki!"
 * Feh. I dunno.  I don't bother people about the recent changes page unless they spam it with major edits (that're really minor edits).  But that's me.  Tadzio 06:20, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
