Double redirects
You need to fix them. — Hower64 03:47, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Tutorials/Mob farm revisions
I fixed spelling, grammar, added wikilinks, clarified ambiguities, corrected dubious information, removed opinionated language and redundancy, introduced consistent nomenclature, mentioned caveats of the mathematical formula, formatted the formula so it wasn't extending outside of its box, wikified other formatting, made the article more concise and precise overall,... and you revert nearly everything. Actually, no, you didn't revert it. You pasted the text of an old revision as your edit, completely circumventing the standard reverting procedures and etiquette. What gives? Seriously. Do you even bother reading edit differences and summary tags in the page's history, or do you just like to "own" pages? --74.233.138.254 and 65.8.84.37 11:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That was not the intention at all. If you had bothered reading the edit summaries this is what is mentioned: "Copied the rewrite from Minecraft Wiki:Sandbox/Tutorials/Mob Farm". As I was looking through the wiki's sandbox, I came across the page and the formatting and such looked far superior to what was already on the page. What I obviously didn't realise was that the 'rewrite' was based off an older revision. That was an overlook on my part. But no I didn't just revert it to an older revision - compare the edits before and after I copied the rewrite. If there is something that you feel that the rewrite missed, feel free to look at the edit revisions and copy it over. Next time please don't make false accusations without actually doing your research. –  Goandgoo ᐸ  Talk  Contribs  Edit count 12:58, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Sig title
It only accepts one word because you haven't got quotation marks around it, which you should be using anyway. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs 08:49, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Your signature
I never really thought about this until now, but your signature is almost double the limit of 255 characters. If it doesn't fit into the default signature box in your Preferences, it's too long. I suggest using a character counter, such as this one, to aid in trimming it. 22:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I've trimmed it down from 420 characters to 317, is that ok? – Goandgoo ᐸ Talk  Contribs Edit count 23:29, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I got it down to 270 by trimming the Contribs title and the height numbers, removing all quotes (as ultradude25 hinted at above, it's good practice to always use quotes in tags, but using attributes with no spaces in their values still work without quotes if you need to save space), using a "safe" color (first, third, and fifth hex character in the color you used), and combining the span and triple quote into just a < b>. Except for that title, that's the best I can do without changing the appearance. It's definitely an improvement and I'm more-or-less indifferent now, but someone else may or may not agree. I was just pointing out the excessive length.

 * Wow, that's an extra 47 characters trimmed off :P Just a quick question - on my info box (User:Goandgoo/info) how can I make it so that the signature is in normal font, rather than Lucida Console? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk Contribs Edit count 00:05, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Tutorials/Item sorter
Why did you delete the content from Tutorials/Item_sorter and redirect it to Hopper? 122.59.227.101 11:21, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Whoops I meant to have put it into Tutorials/Hopper rather than Hopper. I moved the content basically because I think a Hopper tutorial is a better place to add on other tutorials rather than something as specific as an item sorter. Btw no content from Tutorials/Item sorter was lost. –Goandgoo ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edit count 11:44, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Show preview
You seriously need to use the Show preview button and check your edits. Please don't make me remind you again. — Hower64 05:50, 5 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I used the Show preview button but I probably didn't check through the edit properly. Next time I'll double check my edits. –Goandgoo</b> ᐸ <small style=display:inline-block;line-height:1em;vertical-align:-1em>Talk Contribs Edit count 06:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
