Hi!  The template animalsanchez¨used two different names "collect" and "collecting", that's what caused it to malfunction. I have corrected that now. --[[User:EchoMan|EchoMan]] ([[User talk:EchoMan|talk]]) 20:58, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi!  You're probably going to hate me now, but the idea was to copy the contents of the animalsanchez template back into the animal template before starting to add the new data into the various animal artticles. This isn't urgent in any way, but from now on it would be good to use the updated animal template. Cheers! :)  --[[User:EchoMan|EchoMan]] ([[User talk:EchoMan|talk]]) 06:58, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Bulgarian

Hi! I realize I have no idea what to name "Main Page" in Bulgarian. Google translate was no help either. --EchoMan (talk) 09:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Template issue

Hi! The template animalsanchez¨used two different names "collect" and "collecting", that's what caused it to malfunction. I have corrected that now. --EchoMan (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

The animal infobox

Hi! You're probably going to hate me now, but the idea was to copy the contents of the animalsanchez template back into the animal template before starting to add the new data into the various animal artticles. This isn't urgent in any way, but from now on it would be good to use the updated animal template. Cheers! :) --EchoMan (talk) 06:58, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Articles with the same name in different languages

Hi! Normally English has precedence when it comes to articles with the same name. Then I usually let the article that were there first keep the name without the language abbreviation afterwards. I'm not sure why you moved Cobra to Cobra (en) since there isn't another article named Cobra? I would have kept Cobra for English and then added that language code for any other articles, e.g Cobra (de). Another example is the page Öl which is German for Oil, but also Beer in Swedish (Öl (sv)). I hope I'm not confusing things... ;) --EchoMan (talk) 13:28, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

I created the page for Cobra, but also anticipated creating the page for Spanish, which will be Cobra (es). Should I change the English back and remove the (en)? Thanks! -Sanchez
Yes, that would be the preffered way of doing it. Thanks. :) (P.s. If you type --~~~~ in a page, it will automatically insert a timestamp and your username. Also, typing a : first on a line will indent your text, so it becomes more clear that a block of text is in reply to the outer text. Several :'s will indent further. I did this indention for the blocks on this page.) --EchoMan (talk) 14:42, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Great, thanks. I'll fix it. It's not too often English is ambiguous like that. Would you also point me to a good reference you like for wiki? --Sanchez (talk) 23:41, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Hibachi

You have been correcting articles for hibachi to use an instead of a. However, an is only used if the h is silent or the word is of French origin. Hibachi is of Japanese origin and the h is not silent, so it would be old-fashioned to use an.
