Wow

For being new at this, you're pretty good at editing here. Thanks! There is something though, [[|File:Kago]]. It does not break any law, and there wasn't much of a way for you to know, but Metroid Database does not like their images used anywhere else (see point three on that link). Again, it's not illegal for us to do so, but we like to respect that they don't want their graphics used. Don't worry about that image, I'll replace it soon with a much better one :p Keep up the good work, you're well on your way to win something. Keep up the good work! --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Oops. Guess I deleted the image, It was the Kago image, and it had a little "MDb" watermark on it. I'm the one that takes care of images around here, so yeah, I can get picky with images, your uploads are much better then the norm though, so don't worry bout that :p --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 06:49, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I am still new at this and am still getting the hang of things. I will avoid doing that again.- unsigned comment from Nintendbob (talk • contribs)

It's alright, I didn't find out until yesterday myself lol, good thing I never used those images anyways. And you really don't look new to wikis, even the simplest wikicode like simple links or file links File:Samus Varia Suit zm Sprite.gif take many users weeks to understand --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 14:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

No subtext there, right... :P _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 01:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, all i have been doing is viewing a similer page and then just replacing what they had for that article with the relevant info --Nintendbob 20:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Game names

When referring to a game, italicize it's name using two surrounding apostrophes (').

''Metroid'' → Metroid

It's better than writing simply Metroid. It works when linking as well

''[[Super Metroid]]'' → Super Metroid

A little bar above the edit box helps italicize, bold, and other functions.--Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 17:54, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

No problem --Nintendbob 18:43, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Logbook

Hey Nintendbob, I'm really liking your edits so far. I'm working on a logbook for Corruption, and it can be viewed here. It'd be great if things can be consistent, and the only thing you would have to change is the layout. now I haven't played Hunters, so I wouldn't know if the logbook is different in some way, but let me know the progress. Thanks! - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 8:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I originally was using your format for the Prime 3 logbook, but I do not remember where each scan was obtained, and the only limited scans are the eight boss battles. I figured I would just put up the entries themselves, then if I later found their locations online somewhere I could put them in. --Nintendbob 11:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it'd be a good idea to look at our affiliates and suggested sites in our sidebar <--- for that kind of information. _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 21:15, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Metroid Recon has a guide for it, but it has only the name of the room. Should I still put in the boxes for notes and limited scan, because there isnt gonna be anything in those since there are only a few limited scans. I will put them in if I really should, but it seems like they would just take up space. --Nintendbob 23:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

That would be for creature scans and such. I suggest that the page you're working on be moved to "Alimbic Lore" or something like that, because Lore all have their own pages. The Hunters Logbook will feature everything that isn't lore. Kinda confusing :/ but I'll run you through it. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

As long as you reallize that the game considers it as part of the logbook. I could also just have a differant table for ecah section, allowing the differant colums. For now I will continue with the lore where it is until I get to the creatures.

Ummm hey, you know not everything is a minor edit right haha. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 03:59, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Since there was gonna be a bunch of edits to the one page, because i didnt want to lose my work accidentally, i just made em all minor. I guess i wont now.--Nintendbob 12:03, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Hunters Logbook

VERY nice job! I am impressed! I'll be cleaning up the table coding and it should look much nicer there, our first complete logbook, good job! --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:20, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Seriously!!! Looks great! Awesome job. :) —Embyr 75  ^--Talk-- 02:31, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I think I am going to start working on the other logbooks as well. I am just glad that I am able to help out. --Nintendbob 11:41, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

You are a great help, a very good editor indeed :] --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:06, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it seems like there is never anyone doing edits but you admins and I, so coming from you that means a lot.
