Hey

Just wanted to thank you for some of your contributions. I've noticed that you tend to expand on information that isn't really necessary, which can cause articles to get a bit lengthy. For example, the Cushing article I trimmed down because the information you put wasn't relevant to him. Also, the Meredith Gordon info was already available in episode summaries and in her info box. Also, where did you get the Heroes Evolution note about her? Thanks.--Bob (talk) 18:28, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

• Hi, Thunder77. You have some very nice edits and I like that you're really trying to keep the wiki updated--it's very helpful! Just a word of caution, though--some of your recent contributions have had a bit of speculation in them. Just be careful not to inject your own theories into your edits, but rather stick to the facts and what's been revealed. I know it can be very tempting sometimes! :) If you're not sure of something, feel free to ask, or to leave a message on the talk pages. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:07, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

Formal name

When updating character pages, the formal name is only added if it's different than the article's name. For instance, since Ted Sprague's full name is Theodore Sprague, the formal name should reflect that. But for somebody like Lori Tremmel, that is her formal name, so nothing needs to be inputted for her. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 03:55, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

• Again, please only add the formal name if it's different than the title of the article. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:24, 1 October 2008 (EDT)

Capitalization

Hey there, Thunder. I just wanted to give you a couple of tips because you make a lot of edits--the content is usually very strong, so I wanted to help you a bit with your style, specifically with capitalization. Titles only get capitalized if they're used as part of a proper noun. For instance, Bridget Bailey was an agent for the Company, but Agent Bailey is now dead. Likewise, Agent Bennet is now working with a new agent as a partner. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions...and keep up the good work!
