Why bother
Seems my edits aren't good enough for some. My impression was to make clearer and better various parts of the wiki, after all that's what it's encouraging (well that's what I read into it anyway). But no, certain people (you know who you are) feel that they gotta get one up on the grammar-rights and be all king-shit about it. So much for helping your fellow GW'ers out. As long as the message gets across, I don't care how it's worded, as long as it's clear.
 * Hey - sorry, you placed a note on the page, and I thought I was improving it, as is the norm on a wiki. If you feel your version is better, by all means revert to it. --  Random Time  16:57, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't want to get on my high-horse about it all, I mean what's the point. I'm not some random teen that thinks the sun shines outta my ass.  When I make an edit to ANY page I try to be as concise about it as I possibly can.  Some things need explaining while other non-complex stuff can be easier summarised.  I originally took the effort to correct a common spelling error (then/thAn) before making the VQ edit.  If it's not going to be appreciated and shat all over by someone else then I just won't do it.  I know heaps of others who take far less care in creating and editing articles than myself and quite a few others on here.  This isn't the first time it's happened - people go in and completely change the wording of an article or section just so they can seemingly have their name on it.  Again, you know who you are.  Does anyone really care??  I'm so over it all. --Valandil D 18:49, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you implying that I edited the article after you because I wanted my name on it somehow? --  Random Time  18:58, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you are frustrated, but are you certain you are ranting on the right wiki? I've looked through your contributions back to June, I couldn't find a "then/than" edit of yours, your edits to Vanquisher (if that's what you mean by "VQ") are merely numbers.
 * If you are talking about somethign that happened today, i.e. on the Turai's Procession article, then there must have been a misunderstanding. Randomtime made an edit 3 minutes after your initial edit; if you were still rewording the article at the time, you would have gotten an "edit conflict" message from the wiki, showing Randomtime's new text. Of course RT couldn't know you were still editing at the time; he would never have even seen your version, as it wouldn't have been sent to the database yet. If you get an edit conflict notice, it is up to you to resolve it: if you scroll down on the page with the edit conflict message, you'll find your own text near the bottom so that you can incorporate it into the edited page and then save.
 * If that wasn't the problem you are referring to, please be more specific as to what you are upset about; I'd like to clear it up if it was indeed a misunderstanding. If you have an email address confirmed for your wikia account, you can email me if you don't like to name anyone in public.
 * Oh, and people don't "have their name on" articles. Every edit is listed in the page history, but that's it. -- ◄mendel► 22:06, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think Valandil made two edits on Turai's Procession while logged out, prior to the one he made when logged in, and those are the edits that he feels RT "got all king-shit" about. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:16, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
