computer programs playing Go

With reference to your recent edits of the Deep Blue article, I think it is misleading to say that Go programs are still at beginner levels. A "beginner level" suggests someone who has recently learned the game. The main Go article gives 30-25 kyu as typical beginner rankings, while the GnuGo program, for example, is thought to be around 9 kyu. - Hayne 04:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Read and replied in your user page. :-) --Wai Wai 22:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added my response on that page. Summary: I think you are using the word "beginner" in a different (perhaps Go-specific) sense than it is usually used. In usual usage, "beginner" = "newbie". -Hayne 03:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replied. Enjoy! :-) --Wai Wai 13:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Backgammon infobox

Thanks for adding the infobox template. I have filled it in. --Ptkfgs 04:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are very welcome. :) As to age range, it might be better if you can specify the age range (instead of saying any). Like Go (board game), it is about 5+. --Wai Wai 04:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. 5+ sounds reasonable. I've also wikified a couple of other links. --Ptkfgs 05:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You are very fast and, after all, well done! :D --Wai Wai 05:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Backgammon duplication into Category:Board games

Thanks for looking into that! It seemed like a good idea, but I only pursued it for a couple of minutes. Should be easier to find now :-) —ptk✰fgs 06:12, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Unfortunately User:2005 said he is going to change it back and clear up the mess in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure his understanding of the policy is flawed/wrong. Anyway, I hope he would discuss the discrepancy first and make mututal agreement before undoing changes arbitrarily. Also I hope he would respect others' opinions after a decision is made (even if he still does not agree). By the way, I have added you towards the vote of my approach.--Wai Wai (talk) 08:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me a reason why character is better?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Q5 den (talk • contribs)

There's no compulsory reasons for that section heading, but the reasons why it is better are as follows:

Concise: it is shorter while keeping the same meaning
Consistency: I see other articles using this word "characters" when they introduce the subjects involved in the scene, so I picked this word.

For details, please see WP:MOS and Category:Internet memes.

It would be great if you could sign your comment next time. To sign your comment, simply type --~~~~, the system will auto-generate the signature. Thanks for your co-operation.

By the way, you should use "Involved persons" instead of "Involved Persons" (capital P). It is because wiki policy has stated we should capitalise the first letter only of the first word and of any proper nouns in a heading, and leave all of the other letters in lowercase. See WP:MOS#Headings for details.

As to your concerned whether "Characters" make it sound like it was a staged act, I'm not in a better position to answer this question since I am not a English native speaker. It may carry such connotation. Anyway, someone else may give you a better answer.--Wai Wai (talk) 10:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Backgammon

I have made significant changes to Backgammon, and I would appreciate your comments if you care to review the article. —ptk✰fgs 10:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. It's my pleasure to do so. I will review immediately after I have finished a few of my current tasks.--Wai Wai (talk) 10:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Template:User Very Happy[reply]
