Virtual Magic Kingdom article

I have issues with the edits you keep making to Virtual Magic Kingdom. Specifically:

For "Magic Carpet", you deleted my sentence saying "This pin is not yet available to players, but its effects can be tried in the Spell Room in Fantasyland." and replaced it with "Coming soon."
For the guest rooms, you deleted my sentence saying "A pirate ship room has been seen, and according to a VMK object list circulated online [1] it will be named Pirate Prison, but this room is not yet available to players." and replaced it with "The following rooms are coming soon: Pirate Prison: TBD".
You've repeatedly been deleting the multi-use codes from the page.

For the first two issues, you are removing information from the page, and you're introducing a "coming soon" claim that's not warranted - where have you read that these things are "coming soon"? And doesn't "TBD" mean "to be decided" - why do you feel it is more suitable than what I wrote? For the third issue, you keep deleting the codes without giving any explanation for your action. I've stated on the article's Talk page why I believe the codes should stay. I would like to discuss it with you there.

I ask that you please discuss these changes with me before you make them again. - Brian Kendig 16:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop deleting information and reintroducing errors in the VMK article. You keep reverting to your own edits even after people have corrected typos in them. I don't understand why you keep deleting details and now even an entire section, and I'd like to find out what you believe the problem is, and why (for example) you feel that the phrase "Coming Soon!" is more suitable than what it replaced. - Brian Kendig 09:36, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Happy happy

Hey, MagicKnight - I'm really happy with the way that things have turned around. :) You're really going a great job contributing to the VMK article, and I appreciate your work! Good job! Please feel free to explore other parts of Wikipedia and contribute to other articles, too; I'm willing to bet you probably know a lot about a lot of other things, too! - Brian Kendig 13:05, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is this how I reply?

Confusing, ain't it? It took me a while to figure out, too. :)

When someone comments on your talk page, you get a "new messages" notification when you visit Wikipedia again. When you comment on someone else's talk page, that person will be notified of a new comment on his talk page. For this reason, convention here seems to be that you reply on the talk page of the person who left you a comment, so that he'll automatically be notified that you made a comment.

But this means that a conversation will be split up across two talk pages, and I don't like that; so I usually just keep a conversation entirely on either talk page. However you choose to do it is up to you!

Oh, and remember to sign and date your comments by putting ~~~~ at the end of them :) If I can answer any other questions - please ask! - Brian Kendig 00:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

MagicKnight, please stop reverting my edits to the VMK article. For two months you've been repeatedly undoing edits you don't agree with and refusing to discuss them, and up until now I've been patient and understanding with you as I've been trying to help you deal with conflict resolution in a more productive way that's better for the article, but I'm getting tired of it and I'm feeling like you're not making any effort to meet me halfway. The text you keep removing this time is unbiased fact: people have not received prizes they were promised, and the maze event caused severe problems with the VMK game servers. If you disagree with any of this, please discuss the specifics on the article's Talk page. - Brian Kendig 02:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

I am afriad I must inform you that you have been blocked for 24 hours for violating the WP:3RR rule on Virtual Magic Kingdom. Please try to discuss things on the talk pages more next time please. Feel free to discuss here. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 08:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK - since it was your first 3RR I've unblocked you early - please try to discuss things more :). Take care! Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 21:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Many"

Thank you - seriously - for striking the word "many" from my edits about the VMK problems. You're absolutely right that my use of that word wasn't objective (and I didn't realize this when I used it), and your removal of it made for a better article. Thanks. :) - Brian Kendig 02:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding styles and their acronyms into Wikipedia articles. Such additions are inconsistent with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, a style guide by which Wikipedians should abide. All regal styles you have added in will be deleted. [[user_talk:Jtdirl]] 00:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My screen showed a change from the Queen to Her Majesty the Queen. That is now allowed under the MoS. [[user_talk:Jtdirl]] 00:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It probably is best not to write 'The Queen'. Though technically correct it usually is only used at one point in royal articles, at the top where we say that she is styled The Queen. The 'The' elsewhere could be judged either grammatically (where it would be wrong) or in terms of title, where it would be right. Unusual capitisation is controversial. Remember many contributors are from the US and American English (or what the rest of the world sometimes calls illiterate english) (lol) has a hatred of capitals. (Many wanted to change 'the Queen' to 'the queen'!!!) So all the capitalisation of 'The' is likely to achieve is an edit war with irate American lowercasers. So it usually it better to treat the the as a grammatical rather than titled definite article except for the first reference at the begining of the article. I hope this clarified matters. Enjoy Wikipedia. [[user_talk:Jtdirl]] 00:40, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Moving VMK info to StrategyWiki

Please have a look at Talk:Virtual Magic Kingdom, and let me know what you think about my ideas to move some of the 'game guide' info to StrategyWiki. - Brian Kendig 04:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
