Next time you have troll trouble, remind me not to get involved. I think I really got in trouble with that ElectricTurahk guy. He actually suggested that you're my sockpuppet! Isn't that ridiculous? So next time, just leave me out of things. Supernerd 10 18:51, 17 June 2007 (UTC) P.S. I'm just kidding. I'll always stand by you, even if everyone says that you haven't made any positive contributions, you've done more than they know.

If you stand by him no matter what he does, then you are doing the wrong thing. You are editing on a bias, which does far more harm than good. I understand that you are trying to be friendly, but don't take it too far. And as far as the BIONICLE pages go, all of Swirlex's edits have been reverted, so he hasn't made any positive contributions to them. -- -- Gravitan

actually gravitan if you look at the visorak pages paragraph on colony drones I put in those last two sentences.Swirlex 16:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

ElectricTurahk just reverted that due to lack of proof and questionable grammar. -- -- Gravitan 18:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Proof?
I never said I didn't trust you, and I'm not the one who reverted your changes. But I don't have the book, so I wouldn't know about that sort of thing and whether or not it's true. -- -- Gravitan 20:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Real Information
And this is all I asked was for proof - I don't have the Rahi guide book. Though grammar could have been better, that can still be fixed. No reason to become defensive. Regardless, thank you. ElectricTurahk 01:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you have blanked your talk page from time to time, and just wanted to let you know that you're not really supposed to do that. Archiving it is perfectly fine, and is done by many editors when the page gets to be too long. But blanking it is not. The old contents never go away anyhow, they just become slightly more difficult to read.

If there's ever anything I can do to help you to become a better editor, or to deal with any situations you may encounter here (edit warring, for example?), feel free to drop by my talk page. I'm just another editor like you, and while I am far from an expert Wikipedian, I might be able to give some sort of useful advice. Poindexter Propellerhead 23:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

How to archive a talk page
Probably the simplest way is to use the permanent link method. I just tried it out myself to make sure that it was as easy as it sounded, and yes, it worked perfectly. Here's how you do it: (1) While looking at your talk page, click on "permanent link" in the toolbox section on the left side of your screen. You are now looking at a copy of your talk page, not the original anymore. Near the top of the page will be a link to your original talk page. (2) Select and copy the URL from the navigation bar of your browser. (3) Follow the link back to your original talk page. (4) Edit your talk page, and immediately paste that URL you copied into the page. Put square brackets [] around it so that it can be followed as a link. (5) Label your link however you like, i.e. [http:en.wikipedia..... etcetera] June 2007 (6) Delete any and all old discussions you want to from your talk page. (7) Save, and you're done. The official, and slightly less detailed version of these directions may be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_talk_page#Permanent_link_archives_method Poindexter Propellerhead 21:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.
