Instead of starting an edit war, let me explain my capitalizations: --Pagrashtak 22:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Aether is capitalized because it is the name of a planet and is thus a proper noun. (Just like Jupiter and Saturn are always capitalized.)
 * Chozo is capitalized because it is the name of a race and is thus a proper noun. Among others, you decapitalized the phrase "a chozo warrior". Would you ever write "a german warrior" or "an english warrior" without capitalizing German or English?

Sorry about that, I thought I was just correcting an oversight when I capitalized. You're right that I wouldn't write "Human warrior" with a capital, but I think this is a quirk of us being the only known species. I believe that Klingon and Romulan and Martian (or for that matter, "Earthling") would be capitalized in this instance, and I think that would extend to Chozo. --Pagrashtak 04:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

its/it's
Ok, so I'm definitely not a big grammarian (is that a word), but I would've thought that "it's" would be appropriate for showing possession, much the same way I would say Jenny's ball. the apostrophe shows possession. Why should it be different for "it"? Cheers! Murderbike 10:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

hah! don't worry about it. it's probably in all my articles. i've always been convinced that it was supposed to be that way. Murderbike 07:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Its/It's
Sorry. My bad on the apostrophe and the attitude. Chalk it up to a synapse misfire. B 16:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Wow - you caught me in a grammatical error I pride myself on NOT making. Twice! It's a good thing! Stampsations 22:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Atlas (rocket family)
Thanks very much for your correction to the Atlas (rocket family) article! Although the article draws upon content from other articles, the article per se is fairly new. After looking at it do you have any suggestions for improvement? Was it (for you): readable? Informative? Comprehensive? Did the structure seem to make sense? Thanks in advance for any comments you may have! Sdsds 02:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Images
I'm not sure what optimisation you were doing to the image, but it's best to create a commons account and upload a new version of the file over the existing image, then any usage of the image is updated in the articles. --Steve (Stephen)talk 04:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Kuribo shoe SMB3x.PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kuribo shoe SMB3x.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Bioluminescence
Hi Ylem, I was wondering if you could tell me if the bioluminescent effect seen in File:PanellusStipticusAug12 2009.jpg was enhanced by shining a UV light on it? If so I'd like to update the image description to reflect that, and possibly update a figure caption in the species article I'm working on. This most excellent picture will be seeing a lot more eyes due to an upcoming DYK. Cheers, Sasata (talk) 06:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow! Must have been cool to find that walking in the forest! Am I reading the metadata correct - 517 second exposure? What was the location... according to the coordinates, western China? Sasata (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Bioluminescence
Hey! I'm nominating your photo of the glowing green fungi as a featured picture. The image is rather small though. Do you have a larger one saved on your computer? Something larger than the 1MP photo uploaded. If you do, let me know and I give you the email address of which you can send it to.

Also, was that exposure really over 8 minutes long?

Thanks! --AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 20:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

POTD notification
Hi Ylem,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:PanellusStipticusAug12 2009.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on August 17, 2012. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2012-08-17. — howcheng  {chat} 17:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
