User talk:Edwin Herdman

Hi, welcome to UESPWiki, and thanks for all your questions and contributions! FYI, there's no need to be cautious about adding spoilers on pages. There have been some discussions about spoilers, which came to the conclusions that the entire site is basically a spoiler and that relevant information shouldn't be withheld or hidden. So, for example, there are lots of pages that mention where nirnroots can be found. It's more useful for readers to just directly state that Natch's house has a nirnroot than to hint that it's got some type of plant. And feel free to flesh out Jiv's article with any info you think is relevant. --Nephele 04:09, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Alright, thanks! I'll fix that. Thought my sentence was clunky anyway, and needed to be gone over again. --Edwin Herdman 06:07, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Preview Changes Before Saving

Please preview your changes before saving. Recentrly you edited Morrowind:Meet Sul-Matuul 13 times in a row! Try to avoid this by using the Show Preview button next to the Save Page button when you edit pages. This way you'll avoid cluttering the Special:Recentchanges page and save some work for patrollers, who would have to go through all your edits. Thanks! --DrPhoton 05:05, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I do use the Preview button. Unfortunately, every time saved that article I had thought it was the final version. New information kept coming into play. Have to admit that I could've let it sit longer to prevent that, though. --Edwin Herdman 05:55, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Ditto. It took you three edits to post this reply. Please take a bit more time and think over your edits before saving. --DrPhoton 09:46, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm just pulling your leg. Yes, that was pretty terrible. I'll do better now. --Edwin Herdman 00:19, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

notes and books

I did the notes like that because that is how it is in the Oblvion notes section. All of the books have their own page. I use the Construction Set directly for the books so im pretty sure the transciptions are acurate. I realized i made some mistakes on the headers earlier and I think I got them fixed but if you see anything let me know specifically or just fix it. Also I know i made mistakes...I do use the preview button I just realize stuff afterwords. :D

Sup Lordbrian3, don't forget to use the two hyphens and four tildes (or press the Signature button, it's second from the right on the edit box above)! About the books...it must be just the headers then. Unless you're copy and pasting there can be some errors though! I was taking forever because I don't use the CS and so...yeah. Very inefficient, but I'm pretty sure I didn't screw up so I'm not too unhappy about it...besides the time wasted, heh. --Edwin Herdman 22:47, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Yeah the headers may very well contain errors. If you see any mistakes feel free to just fix em. --Lordbrian3 23:15, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Knights of the nine page

I changed the "Knights of the nine" page back to a proposed deletion, because I don't think it helps to keep it as a redirect. Double redirects (i.e., a redirect from "Knights of the nine" to "Knights of the Nine" to "Oblivion:Knights of the Nine") don't work. And the "Go" search feature already checks for all possible alternate capitalizations of a name. In other words, if the "Knights of the nine" page doesn't exist, a reader using the "Go" button will automatically be taken to "Knights of the Nine" and therefore end up at the correct page. Keeping it means that the reader will end up at a broken double redirect. Although I would like to substantially increase the number of redirects used on the site, I don't think that redirects that are just different ways of capitalizing a page title really help overall. I hope that makes sense. If you'd like to discuss it more, though, I'd be happy to :) --Nephele^Talk 00:27, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

Okay, I understand now. --Edwin Herdman 20:04, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
