Multiple edits
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! :) 11:59, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, I certainly try to preview as often as I can. I guess the issue is...I don't always think in a straight line?  I realize things after the fact, and have to add them.  Or I notice mistakes I made, but not immediately.  Editing can be fickle that way. - Dermot Mac Flannchaidh 19:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That is understandable, but sheer amount of consecutive edits you've been making is insane. Try to make an effort to consolidate your edits so you don't have a 12 edits where you could have only two. Champion of Nayru (talk) 20:36, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I do try. This has been the situation at every wiki I edit.  I use "preview" multiple times during a single edit to make sure the edit is satisfactory.  The problem is, I simply don't notice everything I need to, often until it's too late and I've already saved an edit.  I usually get it right&mdash;it's just not always easy to do everything necessary in one or two edits. - Dermot Mac Flannchaidh (talk) 04:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, now that I've looked at my edit history, I realize another issue. I tend to edit section-at-a-time, then save, even for small edits such as wikifying words or fixing misspellings or grammar.  For me, it's relatively less error-prone, and it means I don't have to focus on as many different sections at once. - Dermot Mac Flannchaidh (talk) 04:38, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Hey there! Just wanted to congratulate you on your contributions to the wiki so far. Clearly our IPA standards were in need of attention; thanks for bringing them up to snuff! 21:16, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. To be honest, I've been seriously considering a more thorough pronunciation project.  But instead of official or canon pronunciations, it collects fanon pronunciations, and organizes them in a list.  Such would probably be a user page. - Dermot Mac Flannchaidh (talk) 03:36, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
