		+	Oh, ok. Thanks Qermaq--Bapes 03:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
		+	== Honesty ==
-	I'm perfectly aware of what an idiotic thing it looks like, but I am demonstrating that ''my'' edits are made by ''my'' grammar rules that are correct where ''I'm'' from, and I don't appreciate them being needlessly and pointlessly 'corrected'. I appreciate that as an American cartoon, American language/spelling is used, but grammar is such a longshot.	+	[[Image:Most_improved.PNG|thumb|"That sure was nice of you."]]
		+	I saw [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Pistols_For_Pandas&curid=40024&diff=550629&oldid=550627&rcid=507887 this] edit, and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you for not being a liar.  You get most improved.  Ding! -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 03:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
		+	:I'm a self-made man, I am, I am! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
-	So, tell me more about what defines an account as caring about what goes in the wiki? --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+	== Whaguh? ==
-	:Hi! As we are documenting an American cartoon, we've agreed to largely stick to American rules of grammar and spelling. This means we prefer "color" to "colour", and that we keep to US conventions in grammar. (Not that that's always cut and dried, you'll understand.) But, there's an unwritten rule that's as true here as it is in real life - if it's not terribly important, don't bother with it. If a change makes things clearer, go for it, but if it's six of one, a half dozen of another, no action is really needed.	+	Nice catch, there.  I've honestly never seen K.I.S.S. not capitalized, yet the 'kipedia article does it...repeatedly!  The link was a gewd idea, though. Plus your semacolon catch on that other edit...I feel asleep. I mean, a-sick. Maybe I should stop editing with a headache.--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 22:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	:Re: having an account. Not that it's fair, but the reality is most users accord a bit more credibility to someone with an account, as they've made a modicum of a commitment to the wiki. Also, this enables you to have a user page and let us get to know you through it, and that's an important part of acting within a community. I encourage you to get an account and get involved, as it seems you are sincerely interested in bettering the wiki. If that's indeed your goal, I think you should! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+	:Semicolons suck. End of story. And don't worry, I'm twice your age, I'm supposed to know these things. And you don't have to deny drunk with me, man. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	::I'm sitting here chuckling because I'm having trouble making out exactly what you're trying to say. Cut and dried? Six of one, half dozen of another? What are you on about? Anyway, believe me, I looked at the style guide before I edited and it doesn't say anything about "US conventions"... but it does say that it's better to stick punctuation outside of the quotation mark than inside in cases like that, so I did. I'm also not really appreciating the way you're addressing me, as though I was the one being picky in the first place: if my edit had been left alone, I wouldn't have kicked up such a fuss. It's not like I go around moving full stops everywhere I see them.	+	::Oh, craap!  I knew no matter how I worded that it'd come across as hangover!  Would you believe I'm a [[for kids|teetotaller]]? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 22:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
-	::Not to sound harsh but I'd rather have nothing to do with the 'community'. Fans scare me. The fact I'm already being referred to as an 'anonny', which I believe is a reference in itself, already has alienated me. And I don't like people that get too involved with wikis anyway. "I'm a vandal-fighter, look at my badges." Uh-huh, sure. --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	:::Well, as said before, that's not how this wiki (or any other wiki) works. "Your edit" became part of the project, and of course someone else will edit it if it can be improved on.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	::::And ''I'm'' saying it wasn't improved upon. It was a needless edit. --[[User:90.240.34.177|90.240.34.177]] 04:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+
-	:::I assume that you are not American and my idioms confused you. I apologize for that. I do tend to talk very "American", and that might be unintelligible to others. And please don't see me as kicking up a fuss - my post to you was concerning "letting sleeping dogs lie" (surely you're familiar with that idiom?) and potentially being a fuller participant.	+
-	:::As to the latter, I appreciate your reluctance and won't press further. If you have a change of heart, realize you will be welcomed and included. I wish you the best in all your endeavours. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)	+

[edit] Cursory Tour

What is a cursory tour that you mentioned here, and how did you use it to prove it's not TBC. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
