Quotes[edit]

Hello! Please don't transcribe the audio files by yourself. Use the official subtitles if possible. Pixeled sandvich.png18 (Commentary node transparent.png) 18:08, 31 January 2016 (GMT)

Sorry, I'm away from my computer the majority of the time, so I don't have subtitles usually. I'll make sure to use subtitles for any of the quotes I can't spell out. Thanks. TheScoutwhocriedSpy (talk) 18:30, 31 January 2016 (GMT)

It's important that you use them even for those quotes that seem straightforward to transcribe as punctuation, spelling, and capitalization may be different in the official captions. Make sure that you don't make any changes to them (only capitalizing some words when needed, for consistency throughout the wiki), so that other people don't have to check everything again. If you spot any unused quotes (those subtitling nonexistent audio files), put them in a separate table, in an "Unused" section. You can view the Portal 2 subtitles here.

Thanks man, I appreciate you helping out. TheScoutwhocriedSpy (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2016 (GMT)

Hey, If you check my Sandbox page, you'll see I'm working on a Lambda Cache Locations. I know it's on your To-Do list, but I want to get it out of your way. I just need to know how to format them. Mine looks a little off, so I need a little guide. TheScoutwhocriedSpy (talk) 00:19, 1 February 2016 (GMT)

RE: Lambda Cache locations[edit]

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Don't use the second person singular. Replace it with "the player" or "Gordon", or use the passive voice. Try also not to make it sound like a game guide. I'd suggest having each chapter in a separate paragraph, so that there's not a wall of text, followed by a wall of images.

Thanks. I finally reached cache 45, hooray. I just need to update all the previous edits and it should be ready to post on the Lambda symbol article. Should I do the Episode 2 caches too? TheScoutwhocriedSpy (talk) 01:22, 4 February 2016 (GMT)
