 Saw you still had no welcome msg, so here it is. :)
 *  Thanks! I'm quite certain I already know a thing or two about wiki editing already, but I still appreciate it. Makes me think I have friends, for one. :-D
 *  Yes, although some friends reply really late. Like me in this case. :)

Page move
When you want to move a page, use the "move" button at the top instead of cutting and pasting the contents into a new page. Doing so destroys a page's history. I fixed your mistake at Multiplayer game. Thunderbrand 20:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Usually I do that, but if the target page where I'm moving the article to is a redirect, it doesn't work. Sylph 10:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Your opinion is needed in this discussion on Talk:Zeitgeist: The Movie
Hi. Two editors are advocating for the exclusion of any mention in the Zeitgeist: The Movie article that Peter Joseph, the creator of that film has stated publicly that words attributed to him in a story cited as a source in the article misquoted him, and that he has not distanced himself from the ideas expressed in that film, as that cited source indicates. I have responded to their arguments, but neither of them has responded directly to my counterarguments, but simply repeat the same statements of theirs over and over. Myself and one other editor disagree with them, so two editors are for the material's inclusion, and two are for its exclusion, with no sign of consensus in sight. Can you please offer your viewpoint in the discussion so that we can achieve consensus? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:18, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
