Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- JHunterJ 10:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VI character articles
I noticed you've made a number of edits to articles regarding characters from Final Fantasy VI (I specifically noticed the height/weight info at Gau (Final Fantasy VI)). If I may ask, where are you getting your information? You've named "Japanese sources" in a number of cases, but that's kind of, well, cryptic. It would be helpful if you could cite your sources so that others can independently verify your data. Please understand that I'm not questioning the accuracy or criticizing the change, especially since most of the information you've edited was uncited, as well. But I figured if you had the source information available, we could address that now. – Seancdaug 15:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, Japanese sources = every game manuals+official guide etc. If you think I make this up. At least there must be a reason why every Japanese site listed every characters' height and weight the same as I posted. Example is Terra Branford (Tina in Japan), you can google this ティナ・ブランフォード 身長, and see that every sites stated that her height is 160cm. --Freak on Board 16:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No, as I said, I don't think you made this up. But we still need to cite our sources so that the facts can be independently verified. It's our job to identify where the information is coming from, not our readers'. – Seancdaug 16:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Japanese units of measurement
I have no problem with retaining the official measurements as given on SNKP's website, but given that Wikipedia's aim is to convey (hopefully useful) information, I feel it is best to have a relevant conversion to Imperial and metric units at the same time... particularly given that there is no entry for these archaic units of measurement. --MoriyaMug 19:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
