Signing comments
Hey there! Welcome to Nookipedia (again), and great job so far! Just a quick tip that when signing comments on talk pages, use four tildes ( ~ ). This places both your username and a timestamp on the page. Feel free to ask me or any other staff members for any more help (or consider posting at the Community Fountain to get help from the general community). Thanks, ~Super Hamster  Talk 18:27, July 14, 2014 (EDT)

Usually, in a section title, the only letters you should capitalize are the first one and proper nouns.

I'm not sure if it's necessary to create pages on every group of furniture. I think it's better to create articles of groups of furniture. As for uncategorized items, we can put them in a very decentralized "theme" article, although that would be very time consuming.

If you have access to the e-guide of the game (look it up in the official site; sign in, register, and input a code if you need to; the code is found somewhere in the middle of the book), there's no need to scan the page. Just browse through the guide, right click on the image, and save the image to upload it here. Easy, but time-consuming.

Thanks for asking! I hope I helped. 19:40, July 14, 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the reply. I was actually referring to items from the first game, not ACNL. I also have the guide to  and  so I could scan those guides for item images as well. --sunmarsh (talk)
 * Oh, gotcha. Does Prima have e-guides for Wild World and City Folk? It would spare you a lot of scanning if they did. 19:52, July 14, 2014 (EDT)
 * I don't believe that they started e-guides until after the guide for City Folk was published, so no. Besides, e-guides weren't as widely used back then as they are now? Come to think of it, did Prima even have a guide for Wild World. I have the Nintendo Power guide for Wild World, not Prima. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 02:38, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
 * Hm, maybe you're right. I guess scans would have to do, but if you're able to obtain screenshots from, say, an emulator, the more the better. 16:19, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

Multiple Edits
Hello! I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to the same page over a short time. Doing this puts a large strain on our server and clogs up the recent changes. So instead of saving a lot, use the "show preview" button next to the "save page" button. It'll allow you to view your edit for any mistakes so you don't have to make a lot of fixing edits or additional ones! Additionally, it will help to reduce the workload of the staff who have to patrol each and every edit. Thanks! :) --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 16:33, July 15, 2014 (EDT)
 * Sorry about that! I didn't realize that the Sandbox page was viewable to everyone... although I'm sure that's not the only page where I've been guilty of this. ^^; I'll do my best to keep the edit count to a minimum. --sunmarsh (talk) 16:40, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

Autopatrol
Hé, considering your great recent contributions, you have been promoted to trustee status! It means that you're trusted enough that we don't need to patrol your edits. I hope you keep up your great work here, especially on that Acre article. :) 22:42, July 15, 2014 (EDT)

Staff?
Hey sunmarsh - love the work you've done so far. I think you're definitely ready to join the staff team as a Patroller, if you so desire. Just let me know and I'll be happy to nominate you. Thanks, ~Super Hamster  Talk 09:42, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * That sounds great! Thanks so much; I'll be sure to do my best. :D *Copper salute* --sunmarsh (talk) 14:56, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * I'll support the nomination, that's for sure. 15:03, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * I would definitely support the nomination too, as you've shown through your edits and past projects that you have a vast knowledge on the technical aspects of the series, which is something the majority of players know nothing about. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 15:39, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * Great! Nomination placed at Nookipedia:Staff/Apply. ~Super Hamster  Talk 15:40, July 31, 2014 (EDT)
 * You have been promoted to patroller. Congratulations! -- Ja ke  14:04, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * Awesome! Thank you everyone for your support & positive feedback. :) Is there a page somewhere that lists Patroller responsibilities more in-depth (other than Nookipedia:Patrollers)? Perhaps with guidelines/suggestions on when it's appropriate to use patroller-specific abilities? --sunmarsh (talk) 15:55, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * Hrmm...not that I know of. But to give a quick run-down, the two biggest tools you have are deleting and protecting pages. You can delete pages that obviously shouldn't exist (e.g. files that will never be used, new articles that aren't about anything significant, etc.). Any other page should still go through the normal discussions before deleting. As for protecting pages, that's typically done if a page is repeatedly being vandalized, or a template is widely used across the site.
 * So yep...basically, just use your best judgement :) Being voted in for staff means we trust your judgement. But feel free to ask any questions at any time! ~Super Hamster  Talk 22:36, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
