Your "interesting facts and figures" are hilarious. No, it isn't "one eyebrow", it's called a unibrow because both eyebrows actually meet in the middle. And I'm flattered to hear someone call me a good mod. --UrsusArctos 04:18, 9 February 2008 (PST)

Welcome

Welcome; to get you started on how to use mediawiki, please read this one-stop tutorial which I wrote up: The NGE Fan-Geeks Project:Boot Camp for Newbies, which contains basically everything you'll need to know. Btw, a convention we use is that "Nerv" is always spelled "Nerv" lowercase, never with full-capitals. It was decided that that was just a translation mistake, i.e. sometimes even "Adam" and "Second Impact" are written all-caps. Check out the Notes section of the "Nerv" article where this is explained along with a screenshot demonstrating that within the series itself, they actually alternate between the two and do indeed spell "Nerv" lowercase at times. By extension, its also spelled "Seele" and "Gehirn", because those aren't acronyms either. Good luck, as as me if you need help. --V 11:39, 10 February 2008 (PST)

I see you've found the "Wanted Pages" thing. That doesn't mean "pages we want or have requested"; it more literally means "links have been created leading to articles with this title, but they don't actually exist". That is, a functional link to a real article, i.e. "Shinji Ikari" appears in blue. But a link created to the non-existant "Shinji Useless Whiny Geek Ikari" would appear as a red link; this shows the link is "broken" (doesn't lead anywhere). That said, just because someone created a link to a page doesn't mean it should exist. That is, back in the day "Ritsuko Akagi" didn't exist as an article. It appeared as a red link. So I wrote an article, then it was there. But "Shinji Useless Whiny Geek Ikari" should never exist in the first place, someone just made a link to a non-existent article, if you follow me. --->Do not use the "Special pages" lists as a guide for what should be worked on they really aren't a guage of anything. Check out what is being worked on in "recent changes" (usually the best way to see "what's going on") or just browse through existing articles and expand as you see fit. It's not so much a process of creating new articles totally from scratch as it is incrementally, gradually improvising upon existing stuff, in a snowball effect. --V 11:45, 10 February 2008 (PST)

Thanks for the info, but the Boot Camp doesn't explain everything, and there are some things I want fixed but I don't know how, and nobody else is bothering to try to fix it...Thanks anyway --Bee-Zerk 16:17, 11 February 2008 (AEST)

...what is it that you're trying to fix? (I just fixed the Manga template image display if thats what you meant). --V 07:12, 11 February 2008 (PST)

Yup, and thanks for that, but how did you remove it..?
