Thank You edit

Thanks for catching that typo. You'd think that I'd've caught that much earlier, but.... Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 18:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

ISSN edit

{{helpme}} I've been trying to wikify a section in Chitosan, involving extensive citation formatting… A number of articles that are cited have two different ISSN numbers, one for a print source and another for an online source. I tried doing it in the following manner…

{{cite journal | author=Y. Fukada, K. Kimura, and Y. Ayaki | title=Effect of chitosan feeding on intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats | journal=Lipids | volume=26 | issue=5 | pages=395–399 | year=1991 | publisher=Springer Berlin / Heidelberg | issn=0024-4201 (Print) 1558-9307 (Online) | doi=10.1007/BF02537206 | url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/p08107u75814t787/}}

… but it displays it as…

Y. Fukada, K. Kimura, and Y. Ayaki (1991). "Effect of chitosan feeding on intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats". Lipids. 26 (5). Springer Berlin / Heidelberg: 395–399. doi:10.1007/BF02537206. ISSN (Print) 1558-9307 (Online) 0024-4201 (Print) 1558-9307 (Online). {{cite journal}}: Check |issn= value (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

… when I'd like to have it display each as a separate ISSN number with just ONE set of parentheses clarifying which ISSN it is. How might I do this? ~XarBioGeek (talk) 23:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{cite journal}} doesn't support this. You could do it by hand, thus (warning: monstrous code follows):
Y. Fukada, K. Kimura, and Y. Ayaki (1991). "Effect of chitosan feeding on intestinal bile acid metabolism in rats". Lipids 26 (5): 395–399. Springer Berlin / Heidelberg. doi:10.1007/BF02537206. ISSN [1] (Print) [2] (Online). 

Caffeine edit

Please always assume good faith in wikipedia contributors. The issue of caffeine as being fetotoxic belongs into the introduction - IMHO - because: the introduction should brings out the most important issues (they can be further explored downstream), there is an inherent untruth about the FDA statement and the findings of fetotoxicity, and simply placing the finding at the end of the article hides its significance. If you truly feel otherwise and that the danger of caffeine for the fetus is not important, feel free to leave the article in its current form. Ekem (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you can do it, great. Ekem (talk) 03:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I modified it - 2007 study and fetus. And thanks. Ekem (talk) 03:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Regarding [3] edit

Hey, sorry, I realize that the edit I made there wasn't terribly clear, but I'm working on removing edits entered by a banned user. That does include moving that page back to the original title, which I've now done. Sorry for the confusion! Hersfold (t/a/c) 06:11, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ah, okay. Sorry for messing that up. ~rezecib (talk) 18:28, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Renaming Dota (genre) edit

Hey, I've made a new motion to rename Dota (genre) to Action RTS right here. Since you previously stated your opinion on this matter, would you be able to again, in order to get a consensus on the subject? DarthBotto talkcont 23:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Dota/ MOBA Issue edit

Hello Rezecib,

I am very new to wikipedia, and I am very unfamiliar with how to regulate any changes at all within the context of the site appropriately, but you seem to have a very strong understanding of the MOBA issue.

I too, a student and an avid gamer am explicitly concerned about the MOBA page currently on wikipedia. Sadly, some do not see this made up term as a Marketing Ploy by Riot Games. The entire existence of the MOBA page is itself in need of deletion. This page was literally hi-jacked from its former version of Action-RTS, which is still a real thing, and now exists as a redirection to MOBA. This seems very backwards to me. The MOBA page now includes games which do not even fit into the "generic description" of what they claim a MOBA map looks like, which is actually just the layout of the classical Dota Map. Furthermore, since there is no official documentation of the origin of the word (because again, this is all just a marketing ploy by Riot, so using it frequently then removing all claims to the word makes them look better) MOBA is nothing more than internet slang. I don't see any wikipedia pages about other popular Internet Slang. Take a fast search for the following terms which I know you will be familiar with. TTYL, GG, and WP. TTYL, a very obviously popular internet acronym, sends you to internet slang. GG does the same thing, because after all, it only signifies slang for a phrase. WP is another one anyone that has played any game such as Warcraft 3 or Starcraft or Dota would be familiar with. Yet this isn't even identified as internet slang. We cannot create a page with a biased name which is obviously identified with one game over another, when the original games were called Action RTS, and still to this day are identified by this term. MOBA should not have a page title, as it is simply internet slang with no official "origin". Just look at the History, there would be no mention of the word MOBA on the page AT ALL, if it was not for an uncited, segment under league of legends. There is no basis for classification of games which are all Action-RTS, not even one cited source. MOBA must be reverted to Action-RTS. You cannot re-write history based on popularity. Dota =/= Moba MOBA = Internet Slang

Please help me, I am bad at wikipedia, but I know that this page is terribly wrong. Please help.
