Dragoon Wraith TALK 17:01, 30 November 2006 (EST): Regarding the OBSE wish list: Just want to make one minor detail clear: Scruggs, and pretty much anyone who edits the list, is not part of the OBSE team. IanPatt and behippo are generally too busy to learn Wiki syntax and maintain the list; the list was made for their benefit so they didn't have to keep track of it themselves. Scruggs's edits were made because I requested something be done, and in general he did an excellent job. If anything thing was erroneously removed (be it by mistake or by misunderstanding), please simply re-add it in the proper location, or discuss it in the talk page. If you'd simply said "Hey, what happened to SetHostile?" or whatever, there wouldn't have been a problem. Complaining about the edit itself just puts the editor on the defensive and hinders communication.

Anyway, feel free to remove this note after you've read it. I know you deleted the bit on the Wish List, so I know it's mostly a finished issue, I just wanted to have a bit of input, because I agree with you about some of the functions, and would have liked to have seen that episode go a little differently.

GuidoBot 15:21, 1 December 2006 (EST) Well we all have our off days, Guidobot probably more than most. My reaction was a little OTT initially and almost immediately I went to edit it, but Scruggs had already replied. I did want him to realize that he went a little far, in that it would not hurt to proffer 2 or more very similar suggestions under the same sections, as one syntax may be more appropriate than another and/or give more insight into the most general utility. I guess we probably both upset eachother a little and I do appologize to Scruggs for this.

Dragoon Wraith TALK 16:39, 1 December 2006 (EST): Of course. I hope I didn't come off as scolding or something, that wasn't the plan. Anyway, how has the issue gone? Were those things re-added or what?

Oh, and by the way - generally notes for other people go on their Talk pages, the User page is for them. I don't particularly mind, but some people might, and besides it's easier to keep track of discussion when they're all in the same place. You could have just posted a response on my Talk page, and I would have responded here (back and forth kind of thing) - that's the standard on Wikipedia. Personally, I prefer keeping all of a discussion in the same place, rather than back and forth, but that would have been acceptable. Also, for me personally, I check the Recent Changes page regularly, so I would have seen the edit to your talk page.

Noted. Since I've already talked with behippo about some of these suggestions (as side notes in PMs) I will not be further modifying the wish list. Most of this stuff is way off of their radar right now so there is no hurry to put any more requests. GuidoBot
