			== inactivity ==

			Good day,

			We are doing some spring cleaning in our right groups (translator, editor, etc.), and people who have been inactive for more than a year are being removed. This unfortunatly appears to be your case.

			I thank you for your past work ; if you come back someday and need those tools again, please contact [[Help:Administration_Contact_Page]]

			== ばんざい！ビンボン！そのと折！ ==

			Thank you Zyzzyva-san! You are the first person here to have noticed this and actually contact me about it! haha!

			You are absolutely correct, this doesn't smell of google translate, it is google translate!

			I was very very lazy and just copy paste the answer, i actually realised it was wrong when my lady friend laughed at it, however i decided to keep it, because it's pretty funny! (saying thank you to old "things" and new friends, and thanks to the new year!).

			So, your name will now go on the main page with the correct sentence! Congratulations. ;)

			It makes me happy to know there are some Baka here who are little bit above the curve! (Wish i was in that group! :p).

			Best Regards,

			Lol, I went with what was written by 92.135.214.225 in the guidelines which was "Myoznitnir." So it's totally not my fault! :p

			I do see that the forums had the correct name.

			---------------------------------

			I'll do that in the future.

			A different question:

			I see a lot of translators using six dots for elipses (ie. "......") instead of three. Do the original novels have six dots? That's the only explanation I can think of.

			---------------------------------
			Thanks Zyzzyva165.

			I see exactly what you are talking about.

			I feel that the wiki format almost requires this method to avoid confusion. The main reason I switched the two around was because I kept having to read the line twice to connect the quotation with the speaker.

			Basically, when I read it this way:

			:“I do not want to use such things to garner popularity,”
			:With ladylike fastidiousness, Henrietta muttered.

			My brain tells me that the line '''after''' "Henrietta muttered" will be Henrietta speaking when she actually said the line '''before'''.

			This is especially problematic when the quote ends in a ? or ! instead of a comma; the second sentence ends up looking like a new sentence not connected with the first.

			I find that this method more intuitive (as the immediate question after reading the quote is: who just spoke?). I personally don't feel it emphasizes one clause over another.


			Both of course work grammatically.


			If we weren't using the wiki format, then the "W" in "with" would not be capitalized:

			:“I do not want to use such things to garner popularity,” with ladylike fastidiousness, Henrietta muttered.

			In this case there is no confusion as no one will think that these two lines are different sentences.


			That went on a little longer than I expected. I'm not dead set on using my way, just let me know if you'd like it changed back. Thanks for all your great translating work!

	Oh, that's what you meant. It should be "Void," because the rest of the sentence is "'Void,' huh?" and the comma should be within the quotes, not outside. In reality, it COULD be outside of the quotes, because not much people would care, however I'm one of the people who would :).
