| − | The types of punctuation used formally were: …‘’“” (You might need to see in editing mode to get the difference). I used the characters ... and ' and " to replace them. The thing is, that every type of character has an id set to it in the form of a combination of bits (01010101). This is done because bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc, is how data is stored. In other words " does not equal “ or ” in the storing language. However in English they would mean the same thing. " occurs earlier in the storage character table than “ or ” therefore it has a smaller id. Thus space can be saved by using it. My advice is to either stop using MSWord and use WordPad or TextPad editor. OR... first write in MSWord then take it to TextPad and then use the find and replace functions to switch the above characters. You can also use FoxReplace addon if you are using Firefox but that's just a little more complex in initializing the settings but the result is that the replacement process becomes fully automated (It's a major pain if you make a mistake though, if you don't exclude pages you need to, then the replacement could affect something you did not wish it to). The final way is to use this site's own search and replace function. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UCT) |

Hello.
I'm Darkoneko, one of this wiki's Old gods. As I don't edit much, you probably haven't heard of me.
On the other hand, I have recently heard a lot about you. So in the last few days, I investigated, read about a book worth of talk page discussions on the wiki, checked on diffs, etc.
Your edit count is pretty impressive. 4629 edits, a lot of which are template creation/integrations and cosmetic changes. The templates are a nice work, tho i don't agree with your "space/storage" argument. Template are interesting because if you want to alter the navigation system, you only have to do it on one place rather than having to edit each page. A few more megabytes of text in a database don't matter.
But on the other hand, your interactions with people leave a lot to be desired. You have a net tendancy for stubborness and to keep insisting until the other person gives up. This is what happened on Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai ; this is what happened on Hidan no Aria ; this is also also what happened on some less known altercations with other translators and editors. Alas, after reading your various interventions, I came to the conclusion that this part of you haven't changed and that I can't expect it to.
You did a good work on the wiki when it came to maintenance. I honestly thank you for that ; But if the side effect is having others people going away from baka-tsuki -especially translators, which are pretty much the rarest thing out there-, then your overall balance become negative.
It's pretty abrupt, but I can't allow you to edit here anymore. I realise that you will most probably find that unjust ; it wasn't exactly easy for me to make this decision either, but it's final.
I'm really sorry.
