Sidequests page
I'm not sure if you are doing a lot more to it or not so I figure to check with you before making radical changes to the page. I'd hate to interrupt someone's work :p Anyway I was thinking to break the page up into sections. Not sectioned by game but more like sectioned by Sidequest and show how it has evolved over the series. for instance: == Heart Containers ==

MiniGames
etc. Moreover, you wrote that the 2D games follow LttP, OoX included a Trading Sequence and deviated little from LA, in my opinion. But TMC seems a little more like LttP meeting TWW, in no Trading Sequence, but another long Collection Quest. 07:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Good suggestion, thanks. It's good to see that there is people who remember that this article exists. Actually, I found this article by accident, and it was sad to see that such a prominent theme linked to the series (sidequests, loved by completionists and hated by those who only want to clear a game) was not properly covered in the article. How about dividing the article into these sections: Types (the list you added, there could be the Minigames section you propose, and a NPC Interaction section too), Hystory (the sidequests' evolution as new games were launched; it can also explain with more detail the "Container vs. Heart Piece" relationship), and Trivia (if there is a side note worth mentioning). By the way, I haven't played TMC, so I was unaware of Wind Waker's influence. Sorry. --K2L 15:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Good catch with the Ilia's Memory article: I moved it to something more suitable here, by request. =) 06:53, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Wow!
I'm incredibly IMPRESSED by your newest article! Seriously, it's a great addition to the wiki and it's very well-written! (Now all it needs is a couple of pictures and it'll be good to go. :D) And I should have mentioned this a long time ago, but the revamp you made to the Dungeon article was also incredible. You have a great writing style, so keep up the GREAT work, and we hope that we continue to see more of your fantastic contributions! :) Dany36 04:51, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I second this notion. Keep that up and you'll have a VERY bright future here! 04:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * And I third this! You sound like you'd be a great candidate to write Wiki Exclusives for ZW.org - have you ever heard of them? They are opinion based explorations into the Zelda universe, i.e. theories, ideas, etc. And there are quite a few on here, the newest one is by a user named Midnafan321 and it's called Zelda Weapons in the Middle Ages. Hit me or any of the admins up if you are interested! Happy editing! 05:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I love your technology article, especially after hearing people say trains are too high-tech for Zelda. This will show them... Noble Wrot 05:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ever hear of Skype? Take a look here for details. We use Skype here at Zelda Wiki.org to discuss articles, communicate with each other, and generally have a good time :)
 * It's free and it offers a great means of communication. You should consider it, kay? 05:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless I get stopped by a third edit conflict, I wish to give some positive feedback to K2L. Anyways, you're a very skilled editor and I can see a promotion comming up in the future if you continue.  You're the kind of editor we need on Zelda Wiki.org so... don't leave.  (Really, don't... you will make us sad.) Edit on! [Not] 05:13, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent work on the Transformation page, man! Thorough and enjoyably written. -- User:RustyCage 21:40 (EST), 3 May 2010

Thanks for the compliments, although I was just doing my job :). It's good to contribute on a wiki dedicated to one of my favorite franchises (even if I have to sacrifice the watching of my favorite show in favor of saving a totally screwed article from being deleted). As for the Tech article, can somebody add sections regarding Spirit Tracks and any other game possibly related to the topic? I haven't played ST yet, so I am unaware of how the train plays its role in the game. One more thing: I don't know if it's just me, but after a checking, I noticed that the article doesn't appear in the Misc category despite its addition on the article. I'll check again after writing this. --K2L 07:32, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: Weird, now it does appear in the category. It's probably my imagination, so I should rest already (it's 3 am here in Venezuela). --K2L 07:40, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Woah! Another great job. Although I would like to ask you to refrain from inserting curse words into edit summaries. Try to limit them to userpages, because edit summaries show up in the recent changes, and some people may take offense. Other than that, keep it up! 15:03, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I apologize for that, I have no excuse for the rage I had for seeing an article directly copied and pasted from Zelda Universe. It won't happen again. --K2L 15:33, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm late to complimenting your work, forgive me! The recent new pages were good ideas. no they were great ideas. The only suggestion I intend to make is to avoid overusing commas to extend sentences. Some are fine, but try to break the longest statements up into a few new sentences to avoid exhausting the reader. Your writing has gotten much much better around here and just a little more improvement is all that's needed for you to be a master editor. ;) Keep up the good work. 05:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice =) --K2L 18:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Noticed
I noticed you placed me as someone that you aren't sure if I consider you a friend. Well of course I do! The other two on that list, Dany and Cip are awesome people too. Kudos to your judge of character! 06:30, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making me know. When I said about the "unsure" part, I based more on the times I had a dialogue between you three and me, rather than anything else (as, unlike others, I rarely participate on talk pages). But I'm going to edit that section right now :) --K2L 04:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Skype
Hey, so you've been around for a bit and you're starting to get into the community, right? Well, a lot of us use a program known as Skype to communicate with one another about editing and other things. If you'd like to join, we'd be glad to have you in the chats with us! You can find details about it on our Skype page. It's free, it's easy, and it allows quick communication in text form! Just contact any one of the active people on that page if you get Skype and we'll add you into the public  chat! Your best bet would be to contact me, Mandi, or Matt, as we're almost always on. Hope to see you around! 01:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I tried to download it. Three times. And it's always stuck at 20% completion (which is frustrating, as that first fifth of the content is stored very fast). And this is not even the first time I tried to download the program (I tried when Cip told me a few months ago); I may need to try again later. --K2L 02:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Gameplay Article
I don't want any misunderstandings. You can add to the finished product, but as far as writing the rest of it, I kind of wanted it to be my handy work. I was writing the article off-site, but I saved a sample to ZW to show off to some people. I actually meant to finish the article right after, but the process was going slow because my life is busy. I was actually about to update it when you made your edits, which was somewhat irritating, so I just edited over it. This was meant to be some kind of Zelda Wiki Exclusive, and I've been meaning to take credit for it. I already told the same to RustyCage. I'll give you credit for editing if you care to dip into it again. I have some references lined up that I mean to put into the article when I get some rest. Noble Wrot 05:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * See your talk page. --K2L 21:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Plural links
Hey, man, what's up? I noticed you're making plural links like this: Links. Just to let you in on a little secret: Mediawiki is specially designed to continue links with an "s" after the link, like this: Links. Just look: Links. Neat, huh? It's quicker and easier than piping a link like you've been doing. Keep up all your awesome work, bro! 22:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Let me try: Links (now I'll preview). Hey, it does work! O_o But, I don't understand, why on some articles the s was outside the link? I'm perfectly sure I looked those s outside, and now it doesn't happen anymore! It was the sole reason I was piping the links! --K2L 23:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what we mean when we say that the wiki is haunted. :P Dany36 23:07, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

A mention
Placing this in an edit summary is a little confrontational. I would prefer you ask me why I remove or change things instead of taking it personally. I'd actually been mulling over those edits for days, even letting them sit in the patrol backlog because I was unsure how to deal with them. When I finally decided to look into them, I decided to change some wording, remove some phrases, and generally touch them up. I'm sorry if you took offense to this, but as you can see at the bottom while editing any page, "Please note that all contributions to Zelda Wiki.org are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Zelda Wiki.org:Copyrights for details). If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and  redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I'm sorry if you were hurt or offended. Please ask me next time, okay? 21:07, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I know perfectly about the GNU disclaimer, in fact that's the argument you and me used to make those clarifications with Noble Wrot, remember?. Now, I also know that users removing info without providing a reason for it is not helping the articles in any way. If your intention is to reword articles, made everybody know through the edit summary. Not doing so gives me an impression that you simply want to cut out information. Even Dany36 knows that and also reverted one of your edits. I repeat, I know that articles can be edited by everybody, and I actually welcome that, but everything has reasons and means of work (modus operandi), so if you disagree with something in an article, say why or I may think of you having any intention (including vandalism). Finally, my edit on the SP article was because I knew you were going to remove stuff, and again without giving a reason. --K2L 21:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Understandable. When you've been here awhile, you just sometimes ignore the edit summary with the assumption that people know what you're doing :P And yeah, Dany asked me what I was doing, and I just really didn't know what to do with your edits is all. My apologies. 21:34, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I should have remembered that you want the best thing possible for the wiki. So do I, I assure you. --K2L 21:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course! :) 22:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
