I back-changed my dashes :). I did use them because they are used in English books. So I searched one and c&p'd it into my texts :). But I will not do this again; "--" is quite easier. And I hoped I didn't use a dash <–> but an em dash em dash <—> (the difference is nearly not visible, the em dash is a bit longer :/).

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
--Windrunner (talk)
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)
EDIT: done, mix and match as you like :)
Thanks :) So I didn't mix them up, but mostly used twok
@Windrunner: fine :) I'm curious. Meg (talk) 18:51, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
No worries, you should be able to mix and match now --Joe ST (talk) 19:00, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I know! :P

Hey, I knew it was the epilogue :P I just wasn't sure how to cite the Endnote. -- Chaos2651 (talk) 00:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

*adds a section to {{c}} for 'endnote'

You see, it took me nearly half an hour to 'create' this endnote reference ... :P (Nonetheless thanks for the new "c" section :)) Meg (talk) 07:55, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm such an insensitive guy <3 --Joe ST (talk) 09:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Dashes

I back-changed my dashes :). I did use them because they are used in English books. So I searched one and c&p'd it into my texts :). But I will not do this again; "--" is quite easier. And I hoped I didn't use a dash <–> but an em dash em dash <—> (the difference is nearly not visible, the em dash is a bit longer :/). Meg (talk) 19:31, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Em dashes are fine if you'd like; I wouldn't worry about that much at all :) -- Chaos2651 (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
