Editing/Clarity/Format Help

Hey, I've seen that you've edited my page. I'm currently trying to figure out how the formatting goes, and have had some trouble with the tutorial. Do you think I could get some advice? I've read the tutorial over and over and cant figure out how to add properly formatted links and how to edit those linked pages (and so on and so forth)

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the heads up about the categories for my High School submissions and fixing my pages. And thanks for the text for the status bar; I was wondering how to get that.

User: Mreurotic Date: 10/10/2013 Hey, I messaged you once before, and was now curious about something. Is there a way to find out when new pages within your story are added? I ask this because I come on weekly, and hate having to travel through every option to see if there is anything new. I was also wondering if you had your own website somewhere, and if you did, could you share it? Thank you.

P.S. If you, or anyone reading this, wanted to email me, you can at townsville_strikers@hotmail.com

I saw your comment, and I'm kind of busy with my story at the moment but I plan on putting a title for each category I post. -Txtinkerbell12, 12-9-13 ____________________________________________________________________

Hey, quick question: I forgot my password, and was wondering if there was anyway to recover it? if not, that's okay, was just curious. - Kanin452, 12-5-13

Thank you for the constructive criticism without being a jerk, and for not deleting my contribution. I admit that was my very first edit on the site. Your adventure is my favourite on the site so far and I may have gotten a bit carried away! - ThaneOfAss

Still new to site. I see your warning and am trying to figure out what you mean it. I'm just working on structure atm and apologize if I left out something important but i'm still working around the main structure and am not finished so please don't delete my work. My thanks, ~ MixedMojo

Hey there - just wondered if you'd like to read and/or comment on my story. Am new to the site. The story is The Punishment of Claire and Cassandra. Any tips/criticisms on the story or using the wiki would be most appreciated. Hornlarry 00:09, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

User:creat0r Yeah, I know I'm not the best at grammar, and I know I forgot the location in the status bar. *facepalms*

Anyways, maybe you or someone else good at grammar could review the pages I make? I don't want to impose or force you to work. Just asking! Anyways, thank you so much for fixing my little problems. :) User:creat0r What do you mean? I looked over my additions and I can't see any problems. ________________________________________________________

User:Mreurotic Sorry if my grammar isn't up to standards. I love that story arc, yet since nothing was added for a while, I thought I could help. I can see 1 punctuation error, yet that is it. Sorry if I make mistakes.

User: Mreurotic I do admit that I am distracted at times, often writing an addition to your things, as well as on another site trying a 'choose your own adventure' style thing with the comments. I will take into consideration your advice, and re-edit what I have put up to keep it up to your standard. I hope that you do find my writing up to standard, as part of my dream is to become a writer, and this is good experience for me to learn.

User:RoodyPoo Uhhh...don't delete my page. It's obviously a WIP. Let me finish it before you decide if it's good enough or not. _________________________________________________________

User:Masterdill22 Hey, i just recieved your message about leaving my title to the category thing, and I'm somehwat confused... i dont mind if you edit them to meet the requirements, oh and also, how easy is my story to access right now since its just been created?

Hey, sorry. How do I add my title to the category thing?

I am just curious as to why my pages On Xozen Infection? I am very confused.If i did something wrong please inform before you delete it. *Seth Xozen*

I apologize for misspelling "brakes" in Rampage. Thanks for the heads up. -Tower0505

Quick question, how do I make my story available to the public? -Jessica<3

_________________________________________________________

I wanted to try to fix the 'Hot Mom' pages that you deleted because they weren't catagorized but my first and only attempt failed so feel free to delete that attempt. I was trying to keep the original content and just add what ever it was missing but couldn't make it work. Didn't mean to side-step your authority or anything like that and apologize if it created a miss understanding. - Black Dragon 25

Hey how do I add the title to the catagory? - Yougotmyshirt

It's great the sight has decreased the page load time. It was getting to unbearable levels. However the 20 page per hour thing is god awful. Can that be edited some how so ppl are not waiting a whole hour? Like say down to 2 or 3 per minute.--Yihman1 05:02, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, youve sent me 2 warnings on page catagorization. I'm new here, how do I do that? 6 june 2013

alternative site?

Hi,

These last months the site has been unbearably slow making it practically unusable, and despite repeated contacts the site admin Rob Kohr does not seem interested in acknowledging that his quick fixes aren't real solutions. Since I see no indication on his part a comprehensive fix restoring this site to normal responsiveness is forthcoming any time soon, I'd like to ask you if you know of any other free wiki site with a no-censorship policy, Platypus? Regards, Anedwcan 06:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Views

Really quick question, I can't see the amount of views I am getting per page anymore. Is this the same for everybody or did I change a setting?

Thanks, Bojangles

Hello! Just curious about why you deleted my page. - FFF

In regards to your last comment on my talk page, I just wanted to say that I respect that rampage is your story, and if you don't want me posting there, then just say the word; I will respect that.

I put up a couple of stories last night, one of which I found in a folder which I thought I had posted a long time ago, the other of which I wrote in a bit of a hurry. For that reason, I must have forgotten to make sure that they conformed to your preferred punctuation style, and I apologize for that.

In regard to your last comment on my talk page, allow me to say, "Thank you". You said everything I had hoped you would say, and I feel encouraged to keep writing, and to follow http://editthis.info/create_your_own_adventure/Punctuation_with_dialogue.

My academic background is in descriptive grammar, and I have since moved to work with editing, which is of course prescriptive, but I never work with fiction writing, so I haven't had cause to study use of punctuation in quotations before.

User: Hwolin

Sorry about any grammar mistakes, I thought I had looked over it and caught them. Do you mind letting me know what I missed so I'm more aware of it next time?

Hey it's me again. It seems that stories haven't been featured in a while. Are they chosen by the someone or can we just replace it with our own every week?

Thanks-Bojangler Aug/20/2013

User:Darkrage6

Sorry for the way i've been acting, i'm not trying to get banned. Sometimes I don't always think before I post due to my Aspberger's Syndrome, I was out of line with what I said before and I regret it. I appreciate you showing what I did wrong with my last entry, that really helped me. So i'm going to take your advice and try and start my own story, i'll consider myself lucky if I turn out to be even half as good of a writer as you are, i'll try not to make my grammar look too sloppy. I actually did well in my English classes in college, but I guess it's not always so easy to adapt your skills at writing papers into writing stories on sites like this. _________________________________________________________

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. - Azmor

Hi This is Pedobear12 Thank you for showing me how to add the category into the story, I was trying to do that, but gave up. turns out i was almost there  :) Anyway I was wondering if you could tell me how to make different lines in a single story merge. In other words if one decision was made, how do I make the lines merge with a bit down the line decisions of a different set. What I am getting at is that if you choose a path it may lead to being captured or death. if you choose the other path one of the decisions in that path could have the same result. So instead of retyping it, I want to know how to direct the page to that same ending, especially if I think that ending was writen well?

Hey this is Gaydude, I'm new with all these things, I have the basics like making a page and stuff down. Don't know a thing about adding the category thingy and also about merging parts of the story.

Incomplete pages /options/status bar/category from the previous page.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I am fairly new to this site and don't yet know how to make new pages, add choices or add category bar. I don't mean to leave the story on a limb, it's just I don't know how to add options and selections. Could you message me and explain these to me if it's not too much trouble.

EDIT: Interesting how the masculine/feminine forms persist from the the word's French roots. I didn't know that!

I dont know how to create the page with a catagory how do i do that? 22xander

Help

Platypus, i am pretty new to this site, and i want to try to help with your story. Can you please help me with making a good story with links?

(note: I think Links are pretty dang confusing)

Thank you, From TrawnyCarrol

Thanks man, I'll read some of the interactive and see if i can help somewhere

Pokemon Trainer School - Trawny

Ok, i read a lot of what has been done, and i was wondering if i could help with the Pokemon trainer school? I'll take any pokemon, but i would prefer to do snivy's story.

Pizza Girl Choices

I'm confused as to why you deleted the page I added for the pizza girl in the hotel. The note about the deletion said the choices weren't in second person, but each and ever choice refers to "you", the very definition of second person. Please clarify this for me.

Catogrizing pages Trawny

how do i categorize these pages, still a bit new with that.
