Miles

The main reason I changed your figures in Flight Unlimited II was both the capitalization and the fact that the conversion from square nautical miles to square statute miles was wrong; 13,400 square nautical miles is not 15,400 square statute miles, but rather 17,700 square statute miles. You converted it as a length rather than as an area. But then I also figured that square kilometers would be more useful than square statute miles, so I omitted the latter. I don't really care if someone else adds them back in, just watch it to see that its correct, okay? Gene Nygaard 13:48, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No worries, I figure kilometres is better now as mainly only america uses them (miles, that is). And thanks for picking up on the grammatical error.--DooMDrat 13:53, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)

Grr

You had to be right about the Rise of the Triad God Mode effect, didn't you? One of my personal pet peeves is people editing articles incorrectly... and I was briefly offended that you edited out the description... until I looked at my old ROTT literature. I don't like realizing I'm wrong... so knock it off ;) Scumbag 01:47, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

PS: Apologies in advance if I ever edit a Looking Glass Studios game article in a way that cheeses you off - too many of 'em get written by Uberfans of the game. Part of my "thing" on Wikipedia is editing these writings to be more realistic in regards to what normal or casual gamers thought of the games in question, and such edits tend to cheese off uberfans.

A quick thanks

Thought I'd leave you a message. Thanks for contributing to articles and fixing up an error I made in the Happy Tree Friends article.-203.87.119.103 (primarily an IP user, but this is static so you can always contact me)

Nice Work!

I can barely begin to catch up with all the games work you have put in here. So thanks for that! Seamus Blackey had a life beyond Looking Glass - most all those folks have gone on to do important things in the game industry, so they're worth keeping track of. Nice to be working with you to track that! JustinHall 21:40, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jets'n'Guns

Hey, DooMDrat, i guess i saved a lot of work for you. I added a lot of contents to Jets'n'Guns, so it's not a stub anymore. However, you still need to add a picture. Elitejeff123 15:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Now that you've added a picture, I see no reason for it to stay on your "stubs or not far past stubs" page. Also, thanks for making good edits for what I added. Elitejeff123 17:36, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

RvB

Nice edit on Red Vs Blue. I was going to change the color names back, but I completely forgot how to revert :)

deletion notices

Your Redirect for Deletion notices are being removed about as fast as you can put them on. Just thought I'd let you know, in case you hadn't noticed yet. Joyous (talk) 01:24, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. I'd have probably not remembered to check for a couple weeks, by which time the entry would probably be gone.--DooM Drat 06:37, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

MaSu

Just curious as to why you think there's a problem with providing links to their song files. It's not exactly a problem providing direct links when you can just as easily go to their site and download the songs from the exact same URLs. They've got them hosted on a powerful server for a reason. -D14BL0 11:58, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Strangerhood

Could you write the articles for each of the characters in The Strangerhood? --68.72.125.65 17:40, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While Wikipedia is not paper, The Strangerhood is not anywhere near popular enough yet, nor the characters fleshed out enough to truly justify a seperate page for the characters, let alone pages for each character. Case in point, it wouldn't happen for Red vs Blue (unless, perhaps, the article got too long), and that has a lot more episodes, is a lot more popular, and has seen 3 commercial DVD releases.--DooM Drat 01:06, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Computer game characters

Hi there! I appreciate your effort at cleaning out articles on minor characters from computer games. However, rather than nominating them for deletion, might I suggest that you simply merge them into a suitable 'parent' article or list, such as the article on the game itself? Please see WP:FICT and WP:BOLD for some background information, and Wikipedia:Merge if you need instructions on how to do that. Yours, R adiant _>|< 12:10, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me.--DooM Drat 12:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Doom monsters

Hey there, you might want to use an edit summary of "merging to doom enemies" or whatever when you do this, otherwise it just looks like you're blanking the pages. Alphax ^τεχ 12:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, sorry! It's just that I wanted to get it over and done with, instead of constantly switching between copy/pasted wikicode and edit summary. I should have thought to bring up all the Doom monster articles at once, paste the redirect code in each, then paste "Redirecting to Doom enemies" in each, THEN saved them. Much easier that way.--DooM Drat 12:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
