CVG
[edit]What do you mean by sign?
EDIT: CVG
[edit]Erm, sorry for not editting that last one. I need to go to bed, and I'm not thinking pretty straightforward. I'm a bit too lazy to go back and...nevermind. I still have yet to receive the answer to your question, kind sir!--Dreyfus 02:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
On your list of Treasures for Pikmin.
[edit]- As you seem to be a newbie, I've copied my response to your comment here to ensure that you see it:
- ??? The list is much too long to finish in one session. I'm working as fast as I can, but the computer is two floors away from the Gamecube, and my guide is missing. I do have a tendency to include opinion without realizing it, so please by all means edit out the opinion. The only question I have is what "Insufficiently notable per nom" means and what "Non-notable gamecruft" means. Answers?--Dreyfus 18:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- It means you should move your list to Gameinfo or Wikibooks instead of Wikipedia, as it isn't considered a suitable subject for an encyclopedia. Ben Standeven 20:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, there is already a pikmin wiki; they may already have a list of treasures, though. Ben Standeven 20:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikibooks
[edit]My only question is to as where I should put it in Wikibooks. Any suggestions? I may split the two into "Treasures" and "Parts." That may help, but I think I'm starting to understand what you mean... Oh, and actually, I'm not technically new. My first article was WAY back to the Kracko article, so... I just happen to have a problem with mentioning everything, and making too many lists. I'm currently busy on the Forest of Hope article...--Dreyfus 20:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Pikmin articles
[edit]Hey! I see you have written a lot of Pikmin articles. However, since you're new, I've noticed that the articles don't necessarily conform to all of of style standards. I'll be happy to rewrite them for you. Just let me know when the main text of the articles has been written, and I'll copy-edit them for style. Happy to be of service, RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 23:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your praise :) . I would be happy to rewrite the article if it survives AfD. Let me know the final result, and I'll react accordingly. If you need it done before the AfD concludes, let me know when you finish writing the article, and I'll clean up as much of it as I can before the AfD concludes, but I have other WikiStuff going on at the moment, so I can;t guarantee anything on the short term. Happy to be of help, RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 22:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about adding lists of every enemy to appear in every cave, since it creates a lot of redundancy. I think the best route may be to make one giant list of enemies which in appear in an area, and its caves, rather than list some enemies four or five times. Let me know what you think, RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 05:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikibooks?
[edit]I too do not know the difference between Wikipedia and Wikibooks, but then again, I've never really had interest in the other wikiprojects. But hey, if you're feeling down, I know what might work. There's an organization called Esperanza, which seeks to establish a community feeling here at Wikipedia and help users who may not be feeling their best. It's open to any Wikipedian with over 150 edits, but if you need anything, they're always happy to help. I know their encouragement has helped me in the past. Cheers, RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 03:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Awakening Wood
[edit]Maybe not in the creatures list, but some mention should be made that Olimar encounters the white Pikmin there for the first time. RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 03:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Don't mention it. When your talk page gets too long, you can always make an archive. I have two already, and some users, like administrators who are constantly receiving requests for help on their talk pages, have dozens. As a rule of thumb, I make an archive after every thirty to fifty discussion topics, but sometimes sooner if people have been posting pictures on my talk page.

I gave you some bad advice
[edit]It looks like Wikibooks doesn't take game guides anymore; the article says to send them to a place called [strategywiki.net StrategyWiki] instead. Sorry! Ben Standeven 21:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Regarding this edit - when you see a large amount of text added to an article which clearly has some sort of structure to it, it's always worth googling a few sentances from it, just to make sure it hasn't been cut and paste out of another article. By formatting the text you actually make it less visible, and thus more likely to actually end up inserted into an article. Try to keep an eye out for things like that in the future. Thanks.
