Impulse ship
My bad on that. I did not read it enough before using my itchy trigger finger. Sorry about that, hope no harm is done. --OuroborosCobra talk 02:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No prob. -- Kingfisher 02:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Categories
Why are you removing the Energy category from the reactor articles? The category isn't just for types of energy, it's for energy sources, energy fields, and other energy-related topics as well -- Renegade54 21:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Considering that the Energy category is part of the Physics category, I think it would be a poor choice to conflagrate "things that produce/affect/transform energy" with "things that are energy", considering that they are two fundamentally different things. Either of those groups would contain several dozen articles, and I think to blend them would make the category less useful. I would advocate an "Energy Technology" category instead. -- Kingfisher 21:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * We conflagrate all the time... which doesn't mean it's right. ;) It probably wouldn't hurt to have an "Energy technology" category, though, as a sub-cat of Technology. Why don't you assemble a list of potential candidates and add it to the category suggestion page. I'll be happy to support it. -- Renegade54 21:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Vaadwaur
Hi Kingfisher. I just saw your rewrite of the article Vaadwaur. Good work on that, I think the article has a better flow now. However, when copy-editing articles, please make sure not to remove any information - the content of the former "physiology" section seems to be missing completely for some reason.

When an editor thinks that some content doesn't belong on an article, it is common practice to move that content to the talk page for further discussion instead of just removing it. So, if that wasn't just a mistake during editing which you will fix later, it would be nice if you could comment that removal. Thanks. :) -- Cid Highwind 22:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I suppose it is a personal bias of mine, that I don't like extensive descriptions of things that are self-evident upon looking at the subject but not emphasized in dialogue, hence the truncation of the physical description. -- Kingfisher 22:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
