Thanks for the update you made on the wiki, as well as defending our cases. To be honest, a lot of junk has been hitting me over the last couple of weeks, (including the end of third quarter yesterday for me) so I haven't been active as much. I'll try to reorganize things in our cell soon. (Oh yea, and here's to your first wiki message.) --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 04:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

:I am currently working on it as we speak. You will probably notice new orphaned links as I continue to work. It is however not necessary to point it to me again for they won't be orphaned by the end of my work, which should be in an hour top. Thank you for your time anyways. --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 17:39, 20 April 2010 (BST)

I saw [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:DangerReport/Catherine_General_Hospital_%28Yagoton%29&diff=prev&oldid=1730442 this edit] and was slightly concerned, given that I happen to have an alt in the area and was actually within viewing distance of the building at the time you updated its status. It was both ''not'' safe and ''not'' EHB at the time you posted that update, and was, in fact, fully ruined and in zombie hands. I expect that many more buildings in Yagoton will be as well shortly, given that [[MOB]] is in town for the moment. I would prefer not to have to keep an eye on the danger reports to make sure that they are correct at all times while my alt is in the area.

Anyway, please be careful about posting either incorrect or false reports. While it doesn't come up often, I'm fairly certain that doing so has been considered grounds for vandalism in the past. I'm almost positive that wasn't your intention here, but please be sure that the information you're posting is factually correct. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:34, 21 June 2010 (BST)

Historic Groups

I thought that groups in the Historic Groups sections of suburbs had to be in Category:Historical Groups. --Akule Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™ 23:56, 12 May 2011 (BST)
