Hello! My name is Pandora Xero, but i prefer to be called just Xero (it bothers me very much, being a guy, to be called "Pandora", or worse, being a cactus, to be called "Pan" (which a lot of people call me on FFXI, and it really gets on my nerves.)
My edits to articles are usually minor technical or grammatical details. I may also Add or Edit Pics from time to time. The images depicting the appearance of gil on the Final Fantasy items page were taken by me. the image depicting FFVI gil was created by me from a screenshot of Final Fantasy VI running in ZSNES. i scaled it up 1:3, changed the background to alpha transparency, and converted it from 24-bit color to 16-color (4-bit), which drastically reduced the filesize of the image, and, since its in png format, no quality was lost (the old image at that location was a jpeg, please avoid using this format for non-photographic images.) if you want to see the exact original, scale the width and height down 3:1. if it had 2 fewer colors, it could've fit in 2-bit color.
The other image of gil is one I added. Prior to me adding it, there was no image of it at all. I was surprised it fit in 8-bit color. the pic itself is from Final Fantasy XI, PC Version. I took the screenshot some time ago, as the image page says (at time of edit) I took it with Windower, which i stopped using over half a year ago in favor of JP POL.
Final Fantasy XI Specific information about me can be found on my ffxiclopedia profile where it belongs. i'm not gonna waste space on either server posting irrelevant information.
In my edits, if I am correcting spelling, i correct neither "British" nor "American" spellings of the same words. "Centre" stays "centre", "Rumour" stays "Rumour". "Meter" stays "meter", and "favor" stays "favor". This is a personal policy, but I'd like it if everyone would just acknowledge both spellings, even if its spelled one way in one sentence, then the other way in the next, there's no point in editing it. Due to its widespread use, the English language has an exceptional degree of understandability by native speakers. Even imperfect English can be easily interpreted. Further, words which are completely different exist in variations of the language. Petrol and Gasoline are the same thing. while i feel that an article should only use one of these two words, I will not be bothered to edit an article which contains both. I hope both parties ("American" spellers and "British" spellers) will accept my personal policy.
Further, I feel that in creation of an article, or new sections to an article, one should not struggle to use a specific variation of the same language. if you're used to speaking American English, edit in American English, and likewise for speakers of British English, or Australian English. Until they decide to split off the english wikipedia into different languages for the different dialects, i feel that each variation has just as much reason to exist as the next.
