Any reason why you are telling an IP with one edit to create an account? I understand asking if they have been around for a while, but it's a bit strange so early on. They might get frightened off if someone tells them point blank they need an account even though its not mandatory.

:Half the appeal of a freely editable wiki is that people can just casually edit it without making an account if there are only interested in doing occasional touch-ups. It's only when people get beyond casual is it appropriate to point out they seem pretty serious and that an account would help them out at the level they are working at. Trying to press an account on occasional editor types is liable to put them off or make them suspicious why someone would be demanding they join the website. Are there any other people you have asked to create an account that I need look at?

What to do with Bourbon
What we'd do with Bourbon is that we'd use the person's real name for the main article like how Kir and Hidemi Hondou worked out. If Bourbon is Amuro, Bourbon will redirect into Amuro. However, I think that we will probably need to keep Scar Akai and Okiya Subaru separate because their roles are pretty long and complicated. That's my not-agreed-upon-opinion two cents. Also, your favorite character is the coral head? Good choice! Chekhov MacGuffin talk 04:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
The Good news striked again...
The Good news striked again!!! Puto Fansub (fansubbers of the old episodes) has fansubbed EPISODE 658 and 659. Woohh! Can't wait to watch it. --Ectvalenz 10:57, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Telling IPs to create accounts
Any reason why you are telling an IP with one edit to create an account? I understand asking if they have been around for a while, but it's a bit strange so early on.

- Half the appeal of a freely editable wiki is that people can just casually edit it without making an account if there are only interested in doing occasional touch-ups. It's only when people get beyond casual is it appropriate to point out they seem pretty serious and that an account would help them out at the level they are working at.

- Edit: If you are going to ask someone to make an account don't just say make an account which sounds like an official demand. Say something like, "If I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen you around for a while. Have you thought about an account? You get some nice features to help you edit and can post over at the forums too.
