"Use speech options"
Why do you keep changing the Mel section to say that? "Utilize" sounds much better. Nitty 03:54, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Wow, that thing blew up kinda nasty. Looks like it's over now. Anyway, I'm just getting my hands in making the wiki articles to the point. Every time I use this site, there's clumps of words and information that sound like the author was just trying to sound smart - as opposed to helping people. It's distracting and makes reading the site a chore. This case was a really small example. If you explain something in big words, you risk losing or just frustrating your readers.

You and Kingclyde, as administrators, should consider that from here on out. Instead you just proved my point, this time, that people seem to be contributing here for their own glory, not for the reader who's just trying to get some info on a video game. Write for your reader, not yourself. The average reader has an 8th grade reading level. That's common knowledge, but often forgotten when people write about things they like.

It was kind of funny to see people get so hung up on one word though. I was hoping that you'd get my point if I was a little persistent. Reddyaction 11:13, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

I'll start putting remarks with the edits so people don't get confused. Reddyaction 12:47, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

I removed the entire sentence as it is not needed.--Kingclyde 07:51, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Good riddance. :) Reddyaction 11:21, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hi there!
Welcome to our Fallout wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * If you haven't already, create a user page about yourself! If you do, we'll be able to know you better as a member of our community.


 * Questions? You can ask in the Forum or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, join the live chat in our IRC channel or post a message on my talk page!


 * Need help? The Help page has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit. See the Vault's Policy page for general guidelines and code of conduct.


 * I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
