I'm not trying to be a stickler or anything...I respect the devs and this wiki. My first edit was to correct the grammar so that it *would not* reflect poorly on anyone. I realize the need to maintain the quote, but leaving the grammar as is without any note or correction reflects poorly on the wiki (IMO). I'll leave it alone, since you'll probably undo my changes again, but I don't think copying/pasting poor grammar is a great idea. You can delete this after you've read it.

:Believe me, it bothers me, too. One of my degrees is in English education.  While the poor grammar bugs the bejesus me, I'm firmly against revising a direct quote -- in this case, from one of the developers. I believe that here the best thing to do is simply leave it alone.  Most people probably won't notice the error without it being pointed out with [sic] and those who do notice it will probably get over it. Drawing attention to the error only worsens the MH image, IMHO, much more so than does simply ignoring it for a few days. That brings me to the most important point: the announcement will soon be gone from the main page, replaced with whatever news item is subsequently posted by the developers. So while I'm generally in favor of correcting grammatical and other errors whenever possible, in this case it's a direct quote that mustn't be changed and calling it out with [sic] only serves to throw a spotlight on it. Hope that makes sense.  :-) (P.S. Don't forget to sign your comments on Talk pages!) --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 20:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I have been reading the wiki ever since I started playing, but finally decided a few days ago to start helping when I saw stuff that I thought needed to be done, so a steep learning curve (two days) later I make my first page by myself with the wonderful help of the templates. This is why I love this game, and specifically this wiki, I (the uber newbie wiki editor) see the new GB House trap info and do my best to get a new page up with all the proper info in real time. Being a newb though, and having to run out the door in the middle of my edits because the freezing weather made our pipes explode, I left my page in disarray. I am very thankful, and I am sure others are as well, that you have shown so much dedication to a consistent style and format. I look forward to you correcting my many mistakes in the future. --[[User:Niehusa|Niehusa]] 03:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

:We're glad to have you aboard and appreciate your helpful contributions! The great thing about a wiki is that errors -- made both by newbies and seasoned editors -- can easily be corrected and adjustments made. Sorry to hear about your burst pipes! No such disasters here (knock on wood) but it's been very cold (-8°F when I got up this morning) so I can sympathize. There are lots of editors here at least as dedicated as I am, and it's truly a group effort. Again, we're happy to have you as part of the group. Welcome aboard! If you have any questions or need assistance with editing, don't hesitate to ask myself or any of the other editors who have been around for a long time. (Hate to name names at the risk of leaving people out, but off the top of my head I know [[User:Grexx|Grexx]], [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] and [[User:M.|M.]] are frequently around and willing to help.)

==Cheat Sheet==
 +
Regarding the [[Cheat Sheet#Mice|Mice]] table under [[Cheat Sheet]], wanted to check with you if [http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cheat_Sheet&diff=next&oldid=89079 this edit] converting the columns back into one row was intended? Was just working on splitting it up when I suddenly recalled having done it before and went to check the history and noticed your edit on it. Curious about the rationale behind it, since the original idea was to make it easier to adjust for changes to mice locations. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 19:22, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

::I'm of the opposite opinion and found the seemingly randomly broken-up rows to be confusing and extremely hard to edit. One row just makes good sense to me, but whatever. If having it split up makes it somehow easier for the majority to deal with, so be it.  A note describing exactly '''how''' it's split up would be greatly appreciated, however, as I could see no rhyme or reason to it and struggled greatly to make even simple changes. Counting across makes sense to me and should be easier for future editors, but again, whatever, :-) --<span style="border:2px ridge #aaf;background-color:#fff;padding:1px 8px;font:normal 10px Verdana,sans-serif;margin-left:-8px;">[[User:Brossow|<span style="color:#358;">B.Rossow</span>]] · [[User_talk:Brossow|<span style="color:#35d;">talk</span>]]</span> 20:18, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

:::Ah ok, they were actually split along regional lines as described under the [[Talk:Cheat Sheet#New Mice Table Layout|talk page]]. It actually cuts down on the counting needed whenever a new location or mouse location is added, so rather than counting from the first column you can start at the exact region. I'll move the instructions to the top of the page and include in a quick note within the article itself so it's easier to follow :) -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 05:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Since you were the one to add this item to the mouse template, I think you should put your thoughts [[MHWiki talk:Editor's Corner#Weakness|here]]. -- [[User:Camomiletea|camomiletea]] 02:53, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
I think we should keep this page though possibly revert it back to the original page originally made by Dave. The page itself serves no more use other than a history to the development of the three new furoma locations. Also, we all love a little history of MH don't we? We're still trying to find out who Ronza is after all =p
 
*Since the articles for referenced locations are causing the same problem as crafted cheeses, I'm thinking we could use the same solution and just put them all into a single article. I've made an example in my [[User:Revengeance/Sandbox|sandbox]] after going through every location/loot/mouse description and only selecting the ''capitalized'' references. The exclusions include Ronza's homeland, Zugzwang's tower, the eastern island and the northern forest of Furoma. [[User:Revengeance|Revengeance]] 12:47, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Brent, why did you undo the changes I made for the crafted cheese pages? --[[User:Robinm|Robinm]] 23:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 
* Because the crafted cheeses should stay together as was previously decided unless and until there's more than a couple lines of info about them.  There's not enough individual info to merit a separate page for each.  If you look at page histories before editing, there's much you can learn.  :-) --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 00:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 
  
== An addition to the FAQ ==

You reverted my move to the new prize mice category for the itunes mice, with reason it isnt an event mice and always available.

So are all the mice in this category (leprechaun, treasurer, snooty, high roller, mobster). They are all always available (not just events) but still have the tag "event". What is the point of having two identical categories but named different? {{unsigned|Melky}}
  
Based on the fact that Dave Vanderburg himself has said that switching traps/bases will not affect luck in catching mice (according to his revision history of [[Master of the Cheese Belt Mouse]]), would it be worth mentioning that in the FAQ? It's (unfortunately) a REALLY widely-held belief that changing traps will make it easier to catch things, and it might sway people against it if we mentioned it. --[[User:Kirbix|Kirbix]] 03:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

:Because during the short time it was available years ago, it wasn't a special event mouse. The wiki is about providing accurate information, not making stuff up and revising history to just to reduce the number of categories.

Bryan posted about catching Lycan's with cheddar being temporary.  You were wrong in calling it a rumor, so I corrected it....but you edited it incorrectly.  So I edited you again. And you turn around and edited it all over again incorrectly.  You are not the Encyclopedia of MouseHunt and need to lay off the over edits.  This is not your wiki.  You have just come and acted in an overbearing and obnoxious way.  Your language is atrocious, you violate MH ToS with your vulgarities and don't even get me started on your opinion of Christmas and how you put MH down for celebrating it.  The wiki was bad enoough before, but you have come along and becomae a total dictaor with regards to how you edit it.  Nobody cares what you have a degree, stop being so pompous and repeatedly posting you have a degree in English.  Screenprint taken and email to Bryan will follow regarding your conduct.  --[[User:Jjjk|Jjjk]] 07:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Jjjk
