Talk:Re-Take

The article itself is really well written but, does it seem to be slightly informally written or something of that type? Still, for a first timer it's great and needs a bit more work. How do you think Ursus? --Bee-Zerk 20:52, 7 April, 2008 (AEST)

I had to correct a load of spelling mistakes, though. And the lines were coming in a rather odd pattern when I tried to edit them. Otherwise, I like it.--UrsusArctos 03:57, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

Stop editing the wreckage back in

Guys, why edit out the spelling corrections and other changes I made? Editing back a mess doesn't help. And please don't make so many small edits here and there. You can type the text in word, spell-check, and then copy-paste it and preview it. A lot of errors can be caught and corrected in previews. In wiki editing, "Less is more", so as to speak. --UrsusArctos 19:18, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

Oh, you talking about me? Yeah, I had several edit conflicts during the time when you were editing as well so I had to leave the errors until some time. A few times I got a bit pissed off because I made one HUGE correction of the whole page and then it came up with edit conflict so I just kept on correcting the errors. And, for an adult, there's just far too many spelling errors. I can understand you're at work but you've got to improve your grammar and spelling. Like Ursus said, type it up on Word first, because then you can easily make any changes, or get a dictionary installed into your browser, or just use Firefox. --Bee-Zerk 15:57, 8 April, 2008 (AEST)

Edit conflicts? No wonder. Sorry, I thought the wording had been brought back in. I got lost in the sheer number of edits made to the page.--UrsusArctos 23:07, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

I do type it up on word and use the spell check I don't understand why its not picking up the errors, although i do have grammar set to Australian and thats not being changed as I need it for work.--Zeak 23:28, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

It's not the American-Australian grammar/spelling problem, as the Wiki accepts both spelling standards, but I had a similar problem with Word about not picking up errors; I reinstalled it with an updated version and it worked fine. Perhaps check your settings for Word or just use Firefox. It has an integrated dictionary, so you can just write articles straightaway. Since computers can't detect every error, like some instances of grammar, you should be reading over it every couple of times to just check. --Bee-Zerk, 17:45, 8 April, 2008 (AEST)

Err I do and Im not reinstalling word because that means I have to take my pc back to work and do it ther which creates a hell of a lot of problems. also I do use Firefox and Word to do my editing and all the grammer appears correct. Also when I do post sometime (now for example) I cant use firefox or word to use processing and it all has to be general knoledge. I cant always use these resorces and a complete reinstall on the system is way out of the question I have toomuch imortant stuff I cant afford to lose although I have backups I would still lose the most current vertions.--Zeak 08:06, 8 April 2008 (PDT)

Shorter synopses, please

Otherwise the text walls will be unbearable. A couple of sentences per volume should be the maximum; the article is not supposed to be a chapter-by-chapter rundown of the story. --Dr. Nick 11:42, 8 April 2008 (PDT)

I have no idea where to begin with cutting it down to size.--UrsusArctos 16:45, 8 April 2008 (PDT)

Yeah, I agree, the information is great, but it's just one of those articles where, it's like everything seems right but it's not. It's not up to the Wiki's standards, that's for sure, but how? It'll be pretty hard to try and improve the "wordings". --Bee-Zerk 15:56, 9 April 2008 (AEST)
