Edit Summary
"Yeah, you really should ask before changing us all of your own whim, DTN. Some of us were quite upset"

That's great, the least you could do now as a respectable moderator is to not continue using the edit summaries as places for you to complain. If have something to say to me, you know how to contact me by hitting keys on your keyboard to form a message, or at the very least to read my user page so that you may contact me by IRC. I'm certainly not happy about you adding not only another insult to an edit summary, but also that you directed at a specific user and that you did in the Kingdom Hearts Wikispace. Please do not repeat these actions, direct communication yields far better results than your little ventings around the articles' histories. I apologize if I sound rude or angry, when in reality I'm not exactly "pleased" or "content" with this, but this has got to stop if you are going to be representing the Kingdom Hearts Wiki as a staff member. Childish behavior stops now; thank you. -- 02:54, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

captions
Now, this is coming from an engineering background, but I was taught that for captions you always end with a period, even if it's a sentence fragment. I don't have any sources on hand, though. Glorious  CHAOS!  15:19, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

"Personified X"
means something entirely different than what you are going for. Try this. Glorious  CHAOS!  03:57, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Ars Arcanum (Etymology)
Hello. I created the etymology heading on the Ars Arcanum page, and I also contributed a bit of trivia on how the phrase is actually grammatically incorrect. The second part has been deleted twice now, and I would like to hear a viable reason as to why this is so. Thanks.

 * I am not the best person to ask that. I believe it was explained to another user as not accurate in itself. - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  01:18, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can offer you grammatical sources which offer insight to the trivia I offered. Firstly, here is a glossary (from the Latin version of Harry Potter [thank you, Google] =p): http://homepage.usask.ca/~jrp638/latin/harriuspotter/HPglossary.pdf. Towards the end of page 2 of the glossary, it offers the adjective "arcanus, -a, -um — secret, private, hidden;...". This format (with the us-a-um endings) is to represent the masculine, feminine and neuter form of the adjective respectively. Secondly, at http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookup.pl?stem=ars&ending=, there is the entry "ars -tis f. (1) [skill, method, technique]...". The 'f' straight after the word here is to denote that ars is a feminine noun. Finally, here on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension#Second_declension_.28o.29, we have a table of inflections for adjectives such as arcanus. The feminine nominative is the case that is relevant to correspond to ars, and the relevant ending for this case is -a. So Ars Arcanum, with respect to Latin grammar, should be Ars Arcana. I hope these references make that clear. However, on reflection, perhaps it would be better to translate ars as technique or skill for the purposes of the article. I will amend this now.

Re:Moderator Rights
I would be elaborating on those rights in the Staff page. But basically, it's like this for normal users: they can move articles, but they have a duration limit ie. they cant move pages immediately after moving another, and they need to wait for some time after moving a number of pages. Mods don't have this limit. Also, a regular user cannot move files/images. Mods can. Did any of ours mods say s/he could block an IP?  BLUER   一番   08:47, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know what you are referring to in terms of the block, but it's not possible and the software will check if you have the appropriate rights before doing so. I've tried it before as a regular user in other wikis and it redirects me to a page that basically says "You failed." Why don't you give it a try and see from there, it might be fun ^_^ !

 * It's added to the Staff page as requested. If you still think you need a tutorial for it, maybe BK can help, but I'm positive it's easy to understand.  BLUER   一番   09:31, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
