[edit] Speculation

Just a tip- when removing something from an article, it's usually a good idea to copy it to the talk page. That way, if it is readded, others will know to remove it, or at least discuss it.--31dot 20:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 120m Defiant

I've started a discussion on the Defiant class length issue, so we can actually try and get a real solution. It seems like we aren't all on the same page here, some people thinking there is a source, some people thinking it is speculation, etc. Let's try to actually present a source, all that jazz. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Removing large chunks of text

When removing large chunks of potentially questionable, debatable or unconfirmed text, such as was done at Sovereign class, please be so kind to add it to the talk page, with a discussion as to why it was removed, because I (for one) don't quite understand why you removed that...(deck count debate?) if so/not, then please enlighten us on the appropriate talk page. Thanks. --Alan 17:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

He did not edit your post. He added information you failed to specify. We archive things we remove to the talk page so that they can be restored if it was decided that the removal was unwarranted. Please leave it there. — Morder 20:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

That's what "add it to the talk page" means. --Alan 20:30, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talk pages

Please read Help:Talk pages to find out how to properly indent your comments. If you're the first editor of a section you get no : if you're the second editor you get : if you're the third you get :: and so on and always maintain the same number of :'s for readability. Thanks. — Morder (talk) 16:55, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
