I saw your edit to the facebook talk page. Are you on it? If so, may I direct you to Wikipedians who use thefacebook. I've added my name there if you'd like to add me back. Mike H 08:33, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Nah, I'd rather keep some degree of anonymity on Wikipedia. Thanks, though.  --LostLeviathan 19:49, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Redirects for deletion
Hello. I removed the Speedy tag from Graffiti (PalmOS), as it doesn't qualify as a CSD. If you like, you can list it at Redirects for deletion. Thank you. SWAdair | Talk 08:11, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * You mean Graphiti (PalmOS); Graffiti (PalmOS) is an extremely useful redirect. And you're right; I apologize, I'll go through the request system.  --LostLeviathan 20:09, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mini/POP/Progesterone only pill
Yes all the same thing. Progestin is the term for synthetic progesterones that is used in USA. Thanks for pointing out this missed expansion of terminology. Hope you feel the edit to Progesterone only pill is clear, I have also added redirects Mini pill, Mini-pill. - David Ruben 11:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response! The article looks good now, though perhaps a bit too dependent on comparison to the standard oral contraceptive.  --LostLeviathan 07:05, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Capitalization
I noticed your fix of capitalization in Fantasy films. I believe the wiki standard is that the first word of an article or subhead be capitalized, but not the second word unless it would be capitalized in a sentence. Thus, "Photographing fairies". --Rick Norwood


 * (Please remember to sign your posts.) If you look at the article, Photographing Fairies, it's about a film of that name.  The film's title is officially spelled with both words capitalized, so it falls under the category of proper nouns.  Please look at Naming conventions (capitalization) more carefully.  Surely you're not suggesting that the article on Star Wars should instead be called Star wars?  --LostLeviathan 21:52, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Doodle
You asked a question at Talk:Doodle many moons ago. The article has since been expanded and I believe now has an answer. Cheers, BanyanTree 17:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. That's quite helpful.  --LostLeviathan 21:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Ampersands in MediaWiki
I've been trying to set up my .htaccess as you have described at Meta, but while I can generate %26 in place of the ampersand in the URL, I can't get it to actually go to a page with an ampersand in it! I'm running 1.5.8 with the following .htaccess:

Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.*&.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*&.* RewriteRule ^/?(.*)&(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1\%26$2 [L]

If you have the time...
Hi LostLeviathan. I have recently been making major edits to Music video games and I have noticed that you had made a number of major contributions to it a few years ago. I agree with most if not all of your edits and your comments on the talk page and I was wondering if you'd be interested in contributing to a related discussion. I am currently asking WP:VG members and other concerned parties to weigh in on a suggestion I am making and I would value your input. I have recently been attempting to properly categorize and subcategorize articles that fit somewhere under Category:Music video games and I have found WP:SUBCAT to be extremely helpful. At WP:SUBCAT, the main rule in simple cases appears to be that "an article should not be in both a category and its subcategory." In cases where duplication may occur, however, WP:SUBCAT suggests three test questions to help decide the matter. I was struck by parts of the first question (reproduced here): "1. Are there any explanations posted in the categories that explain what goes in each category? Many categories will say right on the top of the page what belongs in the category. Sometimes there is a discussion on the talk page that can help you make a decision. If there is nothing mentioned go on to the next question. Hopefully all categorization schemes that have duplications will have instructions directing editors about how things should be categorized." (emphasis added) (See also Category page rule)

My question to you is as follows: I would love to craft a set of "instructions directing editors about how things should be categorized" for Category:Music video games, and I've begun drafting a tentative guideline at my sandbox that I would like to discuss with editors who have an understanding of the subject. If you aren't too busy then I'd like to run my scheme by you and any other interested editors you could suggest so that we might gain some sort of consensus on the issue. If you are too busy with other matters right now, don't worry. I understand. Anyway, thanks in advance for whatever help/guidance you can provide. -Thibbs (talk) 22:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
