Hello Tedius, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.
Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;
If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 06:38, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi Tedius, thanks for all your contributions so far. Just a reminder - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I think your article Intermission may be better placed at Wiktionary. Angela
Happy 24th birthday, Tedius! I see you're a fellow 1979 cohort and member of the Bittersweet Generation. Wiwaxia 03:45, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Hi there,
Do you know if the scores you metnion on the film score page are synthesized or natural?
Thanks

Nintendo
Hi Tedius,
I removed an earlier bit on the name of Nintendo, but I see that you've restored it. The reason I removed it is that it is trivial, not relevant to anything in the article, and an tedious restatement of Japanese pronunciation and transliteration rules that would be in every single Japanese-related entry if some contributors had their way.
In addition, what you wrote is incorrect:
"The Hiragana spelling is Nintendou, for the o in Nintendo is lengthened in Japanese. The company name is rarely spelled Nintendou in English."
1) The hiragana spelling of the company name in Japanese is にんてんどう。 "Nintendou" is a romaji transliteration of にんてんどう.
2) The company name expressed in Roman characters is Nintendo, and that's the name of the company (not 任天堂) outside of Japan. Anything else in incorrect and is not worth mentioning.
Anyone who cares enough about the romaji representation of 任天堂 probably knows enough about Japanese that they don't need to be told about it here.

Reverse Piracy
As a heads up, Reverse Piracy, which appears to be one of your articles, has been listed for deletion. You may want to go debate the matter. Or not. Snowspinner 21:19, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Abbreviation Confusion
I've never heard anyone use "FFu" for Fatal Fury. For the first three games, either the name is used as a whole or the Japanese Garou Densetsu is used. First Contact is "FFFC", Fatal Fury Special is "FFS", and the rest of the games have "FF" omitted from its abbreviation (eg. RB1). Garou - Mark of the Wolves uses MOTW for its abbreviation.
In fighting game circles, it's commonplace (where I roam, anyways) to use "FFA" to denote Final Fantasy - FF refers to Fatal Fury in SNK forums and Final Fight in Capcom forums. kelvSYC 13:27, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
USF
Hey, nice, I didn't know there was a Nintendo 64 music file format in the workings. I absolutely love the music for a whole lot of N64 games, so this is great news. Fredrik (talk) 07:43, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
User page vandalism
80.42.71.188 vandalized (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User%3ATedius_Zanarukando&diff=5090964&oldid=5090465) your user page with a lot of nonsense about "animal porn" among other things. You may want to keep an eye on it. If it continues, list it on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress, so the IP address can be blocked. Guanaco 01:49, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
your user page
Just thought you may want to know that 66.168.205.69 edited your user page. See [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User:Tedius_Zanarukando&curid=304181&diff=0&oldid=5230330) (they changed erotophobic to heterophobic). -Frazzydee 01:24, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia:U.S. Southern Wikipedians' notice board
Hey! I've created this new notice board specifically for articles related to people from the U.S. South. If you are interested in contributing, leave a message on the page and add articles you feel need to be reviewed, contributed to, or started. Mike H 21:08, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

The Southern Collaboration of the Week board is now up. Please vote or nominate other articles. The first voting ends on October 3. Mike H 14:24, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)
Thought I'd say hi.
Not that you'd remember me, but it was quite surprising to run into you here. Hi. -- Kizor 22:42, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Dragon Quest
Strange things are happening at Dragon Quest. An anon has deleted most of the section "Regional record". Because the same IP also makes seemingly worthwhile contributions to the article, and i know nothing about the topic whatsoever, i didn't dare to revert. Because you too have contributed to the article recently, i thought it might be a good idea to bring that to your attention. Would you please have alook at it and correct it if necessary? all the best, Lady Tenar 10:46, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk) 19:10, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
List of people involved in working on the Final Fantasy series
Tedius, I've posted a rather lengthy... well... diatribe over on the talk page of the above article. Seeing as how the page seems to be your "baby," I wanted to get your input, and give you a chance to address some of my concerns, if you are so inclined. – Seancdaug 00:02, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
- I created that page, because I surely feel that a list of notable people cannot be handled in the main Final Fantasy article. – Tedius Zanarukando 13:35, Apr 19, 2005 (EST)
Looking for help on a major wiki project
Hey man... I was wondering if you'd be interesting in helping out with www.Knowmore.org, a corporation search wiki we're trying to get off the ground. We could DEFINATELY use some people that know how to make a wiki community great & the site is almost a blank slate at this point. It's been heavily customized and is designed to help responsible consumers enter any product or company name and immediatly find information about that co. (the main focus of the wiki is corporate & political information in a much more specialized way then wikipedia currently offers) Let me know if you're interested! aim: knowmoreorg or bernard@knowmore.org
Redirects
If you make changes like the one on Flo Hyman, I suggest you also either move the article to the new name or make a redirect page like I did now (Flora Jean Hyman). Redirects not only help users find pages, they also decrease the likelihood of duplicate pages that have to be merged later. Rl 07:58, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
- I often make redirects, especially when it comes to alternate names or common misspellings. I also do redirects based on Japanese transcriptions of video game titles and Japanese names of Japanese games released to North America or Europe. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando 08:02, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia:U.S. Southern wikipedians' notice board
I have now reopened the notice board, if you are interested in contributing new topics, or in nominating articles for the Collaboration of the Week, which also received a revamp. Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest. Mike H 02:50, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
