The Article Improver:

{{welcome}}
:Thanks for your improvements. Regarding your [[The Battle of Sunshine Church]] article, please leave out the "The" at the beginning unless that's actually part of the name (and in this case, it's not). But don't worry about fixing it for this article -- I'm taking care of it -- just for future reference.

:Also, if you're going to create Civil War battle articles, I recommend you use [[Template:ACWbattle]], which helps a reader neatly and quickly read the information of the battle. If you're going to create an article of a non-U.S. Civil War battle, please use [[Template:War]] instead.

:I strongly recommend you carefully read [[Conservapedia:How to create and maintain high-quality articles]] if you're going to create articles. I also recommend you read [[Conservapedia:Guidelines]]. Thanks. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 19:49, 6 December 2017 (EST)

:: Thanks for correcting my mistakes, in the article. I'm new to writing articles, so I expected to get a few things wrong, at first. I suppose my name is a little redundant right now, considering the mistakes I made.

::Also, thanks for linking the info that you did. I'll make sure to read it, before continuing to create or edit any more articles. --[[User:The Article Improver|The Article Improver]] ([[User talk:The Article Improver|talk]]) 20:34, 6 December 2017 (EST)

:::Many people do make mistakes when just starting out. Those pages should help you out some, but if you have any questions or problems, I'd be happy to help! Welcome to Conservapedia! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 21:35, 6 December 2017 (EST)

:::One question: I notice that on your article, you have a number of "external links" which are to specific pages on the subject. This is fine, but did you use these pages as sources while writing? If so, they would be better labeled as "references". The external links section is usually reserved for related but unused websites. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]]) 21:42, 6 December 2017 (EST)

::::Thanks for your offer to help when needed, David. And to answer your question, the links I put in the article I did in fact use for reference, when writing. I will gladly change the heading to "references", so as to be more concise. Thank you for pointing that out. --[[User:The Article Improver|The Article Improver]] ([[User talk:The Article Improver|talk]]) 22:26, 6 December 2017 (EST)

:::::Any time! I just wanted to check, since references are a little more complex. Ideally, they will actually be included in the body text in such a way that the wiki software places a tag there, and listed it underneath. A basic write-up on doing this is provided [[How_to_put_links_and_footnotes_into_your_articles#Creating_footnotes|here]]. 
:::::In short, you would do something like this: <code><nowiki>Pluto has been reclassified as a dwarf planet, because it has been found to be smaller than an official planet.<ref>http://example.com</ref> Pluto is actually just one of many asteroids in a belt around the outside of our solar system<ref>http://www.example.org</ref></nowiki></code>
:::::The wiki software takes the content of the "<nowiki><ref></nowiki>" tags and places a tag there which links to the reference listing below. Down at the bottom, you place "<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> where you want the list to be displayed. Here is what would happen with the example above:
----
Pluto has been reclassified as a dwarf planet, because it has been found to be smaller than an official planet.<ref>http://example.com</ref> Pluto is actually just one of many asteroids in a belt around the outside of our solar system<ref>http://www.example.org</ref>
====References====
{{reflist}}
====External links====
*https://www.nasa.gov
----
:::::Hopefully this clarifies a bit. This way, when a reader wants to see the source for a specific statement, they can click on the small number in the text body, and they will be brought down to where that specific reference is listed. Hopefully, this is helpful rather than confusing.

::::::I believe I understood correctly, this time around. I added reference tags to the article, and put the links I didn't use for research in the "External links" section. Don't hesitate to let me know if anything else needs to be corrected, though. Thank you very much for your help, so far. --[[User:The Article Improver|The Article Improver]] ([[User talk:The Article Improver|talk]]) 01:42, 7 December 2017 (EST)

The '''Battle of Sunshine Church''' was an event during the [[American Civil War]], in which a battle between the [[Union]] and [[Confederate]] armies was fought, in 1864.

Kirby (Video game)

2017-12-06T19:09:10Z

The Article Improver: I added a complete chronological list of every Kirby game in the main series, including the non-traditional platformers. Spin-off games were not included, and should be included in a seperate "Spin-off Games" section at a later time.

'''Kirby''' ([[ESRB]] ratings: E) is a [[family-friendly]] platform [[video game|game]] series produced by [[Nintendo]], it features the character Kirby, a pink blob with legs, feet and face who in almost every game of the series has the ability to copy enemies' special abilities by swallowing them; he also has the ability to float. He is the hero of a fantasy world called Pop Star, and his adventures usually consist of spoiling the evil King Dedede's plans.

Most games in the series feature side-scrolling levels reminiscent of [[Super Mario Bros.]]. Throughout the game, the player is required to find and use special abilities in order to solve puzzles and finish the level. Occasionally the player must obtain secret items to achieve a 100% completion rating for the area.

The series also contains various games in genres other than platformer.
