| + | Hey, its nice to see new faces here! We've been noticing that you've been reverting the edits of administrators here on ZeldaWiki, especially when it comes down to using the names of enemies in ''The Adventure of Link'', many of which have names that are more canonically friendly (i.e. Wizzrobe instead of Wizzar). When it comes down to naming, it is not usually warranted to make/move content to new pages for enemies that are identical, yet with different names. Hence, your edits to the Wizzar, Babs, and Billy were all reverted in order to keep all relevant information all on the mother page, where it not only belongs, but supports all other info on the page. We are in no way attempting to discourage you from editing - we're just trying to keep everything relevant together! If you have any other questions about this, or about anything in general, reply below me here! Hope to see you around =) {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 23:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC) |

| − | Hey. I know that you are a tad busy at the moment and not completely focused on ZW, but how would you like to be promoted to help with [[Zelda Wiki.org:Patrol|patrol]] as you can? The staff believe that you have shown the dedication and skills for the position, and we are in need of some help in overcoming the [http://www.zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500&hidepatrolled=1 current patrol backlog].

||
| − | Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones, okay?{{:User:Neo/sig}} 06:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Really? I had NO IDEA that it strained the server so much. You know what? I'm going to see how much your little server can take, and thus will make 485098242 more edits to one page, without hitting Show Preview! Take that, Neo. =) {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 06:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC) |

| − | Cip, I notice that on the 7 March you made an edit to [[Characters in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]] which involved reverting a whole heap of changes (mostly addition of sprite images), and you marked this change as minor. Was this deliberate, or accidental? {{:User:Petenu/sig}} 19:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :<s>Oh jeez, that had to be completely accidental! I have no idea why I was even there... maybe a patrol thing? But that was definitely not what I meant to do... Sorry!{{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 21:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)</s> |
||
| − | :Ok, Pete, I know exactly what happened. I must have been patrolling one of Jeangabin's edits, which was an older one, without realizing there were more recent edits to the page, and I must have seen an issue with something, thus edited the page as it looked when Jeangabin got to it, ''not the most current revision'' . Since the newer revisions had some extra sprites added, my edit of an older revision without those sprites took the page back to the way it looked when Jeangabin saw it. Does that make sense? I hope that clears things up! :( {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 21:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :We are currently working under an unwritten manual of style as we are a currently shifting wiki in terms of article content, style, and appearance. While we don't have such at the moment, there are examples here on the wiki of what we consider superior article formats (any of these articles are also "featured"). For example, for enemy pages, look [[Blade Trap|here]]; for places, look [[Hyrule|here]]; and for items, look [[Shield|here]]. You do have an idea, and I agree - I'll present it to the staff! {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 18:32, 14 March 2010 (UTC) |

- I agree with the way you organize things on Zelda Wiki, however Wizzars do not have the exact same appearence, name, or weaknesses. I am sure there are a few pages on here that are seperate, that are the exact same way. Tharthan 23:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
