− | @Joe: I'm prone of using twok in my references but I saw (extreme-idling on the wiki because the forum seems down) that you changed twok in sa1. So I see that both of them don't really work on the same page now my question: should I better use sa1 than twok? Don't want you to be forced to edit all my references :P.

:Unless I'm mistaken, either or should be fine, every editor has his or her preference. Like I like using "tfe" instead of "mistborn 1" for example. |

:: Hey Meg. You may have noticed that when you have two refs to chapter 7 (say), but each has a different book identifier (sa1/twok, mb1/tfe, e/elantris, etc) they get shown as two different references. I just had an idea how to fix this... XD but I prefer sa1/mb1/etc as they may lead to less ambiguity in the future; in cases where we have books with similar initialisms, we might as well use the series as the id. That's the reasoning behind 'sa1', and its my preference only. I do usually go through and convert them if I spot them, because I'm strange :D and I enjoy editing :P --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 17:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC) |

Correcting Little Things
Sometimes I see a letter missing or something like that, is this okay for you, if I correct such things?
- That is indeed a good thing for people to do :) when writing large articles, it is inevitable that spelling mistakes are made --Joe ST (talk) 07:12, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Your general awesomeness
Hey Meg, I just wanted to let you know your edits are really good, and I'm glad you're here editing :D As such, on the main 17th Shard forums, I gave you a Coppermind award! Seriously, thank you for all that you're doing. -- Chaos2651 (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, your help has been excellent over the past month or so, thank you :D --Joe ST (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
twok or sa1
@Joe: I'm prone of using twok in my references but I saw (extreme-idling on the wiki because the forum seems down) that you changed twok in sa1. So I see that both of them don't really work on the same page now my question: should I better use sa1 than twok? Don't want you to be forced to edit all my references :P. --Meg (talk) 16:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- Unless I'm mistaken, either or should be fine, every editor has his or her preference. Like I like using "tfe" instead of "mistborn 1" for example.
- Also, on a side note, the transcription is done! I'll send you the link when the site's back up, or when I have time to make it to chat

- Hey Meg. You may have noticed that when you have two refs to chapter 7 (say), but each has a different book identifier (sa1/twok, mb1/tfe, e/elantris, etc) they get shown as two different references. I just had an idea how to fix this... XD but I prefer sa1/mb1/etc as they may lead to less ambiguity in the future; in cases where we have books with similar initialisms, we might as well use the series as the id. That's the reasoning behind 'sa1', and its my preference only. I do usually go through and convert them if I spot them, because I'm strange :D and I enjoy editing :P --Joe ST (talk) 17:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
