Skype
Hey! We would like to invite you to come on Skype and chat with us about the wiki, since you have been editing recently. If you would like, you can add me (masterclydesuper), or add someone else and we would be happy to add you to the group. If you wouldn't like to Skype, that's fine as well. Thanks! - NepetaLast (talk)
 * Hey! I actually requested to join the chat already here, but haven't gotten around to it. :D Will add you now – thanks! --Eli (talk) 00:31, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

File Leaks
Hey there. Didn't realize Inkipedia had a thing for leaks, I'll hold off on most stuff for now :P Anything I can provide you think'd be useful? --NWPlayer123 (talk) 01:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey! No worries. :D Every other site seems to be doing it but I think Inkipedia wants to respect Nintendo's wishes the best they can. And hopefully we're not too far from getting most of the new stuff anyway. ;) Seems you just got added to the Skype, so yay! --Eli (talk) 01:46, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Voting
It looks like you either haven't voted on GuyPerfect's request for rights, Lumoshi's demotion, or both. Please consider reading those issues and voting on them! Thanks, NepetaLast (talk)
 * With 100% support and 0% deny votes, I don't think my decision will have a ton of impact, but looks like they already passed, which is good. :) Sorry for being a bit more inactive lately! –Eli (talk) 09:20, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Moving articles
In future when moving articles, please use the move function provided under More in the action bar at the top of the page. Thanks,  10:10, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wowza, never knew that was there. Thought that was restricted to admins – and I wasn't free for the amount of time needed to get on Skype and tell people about it. ;) Thanks for fixing it. –Eli (talk) 10:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

RE: Grammar & plurality
Hi Eli,

Perhaps it's different over the pond but:

- "The soccer team is in the car." is correct precisely because team is a collective noun as you said. Gear is not a collective noun: it is a mass noun. There is a distinct difference.

- "The camping gear was put in the bag" is definitely favourable over "The camping gear were put in the bag.".

- Consider "The sheep was playing in the field". Despite sheep being a mass noun, we can tell there is only one sheep in the field because was has to numerically agree. However, using "The sheep were playing in the field" makes it immediately obvious that there are multiple sheep in the field.

- Your change to "The announced gear were was all added in Version 2.0.0" makes it sound like only one piece of gear was added, and all does not agree nor make sense.

Kindly,

 * Perhaps it's just a difference between British and American English, then. Considering this site uses American English and the NA translation for most article titles (e.g. Defense Up is the main page, not Defence Up), we should probably go with what's grammatical in American English. Or we can ask others what they prefer/think. Not sure why you didn't just respond to my post on your userpage, but oh well. –Eli (talk) 22:49, 14 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Response on the other's talkpage is generally standard as you get notifications that way :)
 * I changed the sentence to something neutral. per our policy. As stated above, the 'was all' did not make sense in standard English. Cheers :)

 * Re: "the 'was all' did not make sense in standard English" – it does. But something "neutral" is better, so thanks for changing it. –Eli (talk) 22:59, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
