Hang on now. Where does it say that it's wrong to bold list items? Also, by your edits it looks like the practice is widespread.

Sig Question

Hi there. Since you seem to be well-versed in the HRWiki, can you tell me if my signature is "legal"? I wanted it to be fancy, but I haven't been able to (easily) find a rule on images-as-your-name. Thanks! Peacy_p_sig_image.gif Y'all biscuitheads! 06:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Wrongs making right

Hang on now. Where does it say that it's wrong to bold list items? Also, by your edits it looks like the practice is widespread. In fact, there's so many, how do we know that it's not the unbold ones that are wrong? (On a side note, you keep saying "X0+ wrongs don't make a right" in the edit summaries, but you don't say what you're actually doing with the edit; it would be more helpful if you described what kind of changes you were making.) — It's dot com 19:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

It took me a good long time to find all those bold ones, amidst dozens and dozens of unbold ones. I started with categories Inside Jokes and Running Gags and went through them all. Anyway, maybe the bold is right, but I'd hate to be the guy to switch all those other pages to bold. I was just going for consistency, and non-bold seems to be the way the community prefers it. (Also, I almost never find bolded periods; was it really important to do this partial revert? There's another non-bolded period right there on that same page. *shrug*) OptimisticFool 19:58, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
