User talk:DRY

Thanks for the fix to the Quasar page. I will try to add my stuff more carefully this time. :)

Damn. I was just about to move my finished text when I stopped to write you, and the damn web page expired. I just lost all of my work. Next time, I edit in Notepad and paste it in. Lesson learned for me. Thanks again for your help, though.

Still having problems editing Quasar page...
This time I sandbox'ed it, and even though I added my code at the end of the section, the original table shows as code instead of the graphical representation of the table (it screws up the look of the page). Here is what I want to insert:

Actually, you should be using "1-8" for 15. Using the "4-7" button will give you a 50-50 chance of winning or losing, but that's not the best odds.

Breakdown using "1-8" button:

1 (16): Roll Again (doesn't count: neither a win nor a loss)

2 (17): Break Even

3 (18): Win

4 (19): Win

5 (20): Win

6 (21): Loss

7 (22): Loss

8 (23): Loss

1, 1 (17): Break Even

1, 2 (18): Win

1, 3 (19): Win

1, 4 (20): Win

1, 5 (21): Loss

1, 6 (22): Loss

1, 7 (23): Loss

1, 8 (24): Loss

Results (15 Outcomes):

Wins: 6 (40.00%)

Break Evens: 2 (13.33%)

Losses: 7 (46.67%)

Non-Loss to Loss Ratio: 53.33 to 46.67

The ratio 53.33 to 46.67 is better than the ratio 50.00 to 50.00. While you may not win as much, you *will* lose less, which gains you more in the long run. For each loss, you have to risk losing again to get back to where you started, so lowering the losing percentage is just as important as increasing the winning percentage.

That's all, nothing fancy. I tried removing the dashes (which turned into a horizontal bar), but that didn't work either. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks in advance.

I only want to ask you something

You name dry what means?

Mass Effect Wiki
Hello, I'm not a member of Mass Effect Wiki, I don't even have the games, I've been looking there and reading content so I can get them for my PC and then when I get an XBOX 360. But I noticed the wiki is really plain, there are no infobox templates and you can't see the text in the image boxes. I don't know if you're an admin there, but perhaps you can help by getting these templates in, plus, on the Mass Effect article you have the poster, not the cover, and on the Mass Effect 2 page, you have the cover before it was rated (it says RP on it, not M). If you would like me to do this, I'll get in there in help. But please try and work on it.  Tommy  talk page 22:44, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Contributors with constructive criticism are always welcome. I'm not certain what you mean when you say that there are no infobox templates &mdash; there are around a dozen for various different things.  Nor am I entirely certain what exactly you mean when you say that you can't see text in the image boxes.  Perhaps the best place to start is by making posts with specific observations to the talk pages of articles which you believe need improvement.  --DRY 00:28, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
