I know I have not posted an image renaming request for 6 months...
but I have suggested that "Image:WD Nazonazo.gif" should be renamed to "Image:WD Nazonazo Phantom.gif". Namcorules 16:40, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Done -- 18:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a heads up for you - I have suggested that "Image:WD Ice Broker.gif", "Image:WD Sunobado.gif" and "WD Plant.gif" should be renamed to "Image:WD Ice Blocker.gif", "Image:WD Snow Bird.gif" and "Image:WD Eater Plant.gif" respectively. Namcorules 16:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

== With regards to this post on Najzere's talk page, the "Pac-Mania Vandal" has returned! ==

According to the edit history of Pac-Mania/Getting Started, he has used three more sockpuppet IPs since his second IP, User:76.228.225.174 was blocked for a year in March 2010 for the offending edits; User: 122.52.84.223, User:76.228.226.122, and User:68.225.40.136. He obviously still has not familiarised himself with the promotional flyers, and I do not take his edits lightly given that I was the one who created the guide for the game in the first place! So if you or another admin could please block these IPs for a year or protect the page in question so that only registered users can edit it, I would be most grateful.

By the way, I have marked these images for deletion: "Image:FH Atom.gif", "Image:FH Dia.gif", "Image:FH Dome Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Stone Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Robot Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Raito.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 1.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 2.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 3.gif" and "Image:FH Tank.gif" given that the enemies that are depicted in them have not actually appeared in the Japan-only game of Finest Hour.

 * Procyon's had his say on the Pac-Mania edits, and I have to say I agree with him. I will, however, keep a close eye on any edits to the Pac-Mania guide for similar edits in future. Also, the images have been deleted. -- 18:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

hello
maybe you can help me with my strategy guide stubs? Thanks --Passiondragon23 15:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As Procyon mentioned, a good place to begin would be by adding at least box artwork to a new guide's main page, and a short description of the game (both can easily be found on the game's corresponding page on Wikipedia, providing that correct attribution is provided). Also, actual guide pages need a lot more detail than nav templates and a one-line description of the area that part of the game is set in. -- 15:31, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't i can at least make stubs maybe people could add on if they have the time Moydow sorry but I wish to contribute more. thank you. --Passiondragon23 20:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

A total of sixteen Dangerous Seed-related images need renaming...
...and their old names are as follows: "DR Enormous Derota.gif", "DR Derota2.gif", "DR Orca.gif", "DR Monsterhead.gif", "DR Cicada.gif", "DR Medusa.gif", "DR American Crawfish.gif", "DR Enormous Disaster Serpent.gif", "DR Dial2.gif", "DR Channel.gif", "DR Guhu.gif", "DR Ultimatetiger.gif", "DR Looper.gif", "DR Buffalo.gif", "DR Bagworm.gif", and "DR Monstermouth.gif". I have requested that they be renamed to "DR Derota (S6J).gif", "DR Derota (S6S).gif", "DR Oruka.gif", "DR Monster-Head.gif", "DR Semi.gif", "DR Big Kurage.gif", "DR American Zarigani.gif", "DR Enormous Hebi.gif", "DR Daiyaru (S7N).gif", "DR Chaneru .gif", "DR Gufu.gif", "DR Ultimate-Tiger.gif", "DR Disaster Looper.gif", "DR Bafaro.gif", "DR Mino Worm. gif", and "DR Monster-Mouth.gif". Also, I have requested that both "DR Gear.gif" and "DR Medusa Egg.gif" be deleted given that one is actually the top of a Hasami, and the other is the larval stage Big Kurage.

 * It's not often said, but it's often felt: thanks as usual for fielding user requests like this. We appreciate it ;)   Pro  cyon  22:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

FYI
There's no need to delete old image versions if there's no copyright issue or oversight problem. It doesn't save any space (the file is still on the server since it can be undeleted), but it stops editors from reverting to a prior version if needed. Just wanted to mention it, in case you thought it was a maintenance task or something, since I've seen this a couple times now. Cheers, — najzere T 15:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Tactics
Hello!! My (user)name is drkelflord and i would like your help with something.

You see, after touring this site and subsequently joining, I realized that the Final Fantasy Tactics page has a great deal of pages that are simply gone or missing(or never there)and i would like to rectify that. If you or anyone else could help me with this i would be greatly apreciative

thank you for your time, sincerly--Drkelflord 19:47, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I won't be able to contribute to the guide, since I've never played that game. I can only advise you to take into account the messages I or other admins leave on your talk page, and also to look through the help guide for information on other aspects of contributing to StrategyWiki, such as uploading images. I would also like to mention that you should not post the same message on any more than one administrator's talk page at a time. I assure you, if any of the admins had content to contribute on Final Fantasy Tactics, they would likely have done so before, and certainly without needing prompting by other users. Thanks for understanding. -- 20:05, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for helping out with the spammers as much as you have lately. I appreciate it. Prod and I are working to find a solution that will make it much harder for them to attack.  Pro cyon  01:47, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem :) We actually had a pretty big attack by spammers recently over at the F-Zero Wiki, so I installed the QuestyCaptcha module for ConfirmEdit and some basic questions like "What is the (random number) letter in F-Zero Wiki?", and that seems to have stopped a lot of them. Does something like that sound like it'd be useful here? From what I've seen, the mathematical one is pretty ineffective, and that seems to be a good alternative. -- 02:28, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!
Sorry for putting my sandbox in the mainspace >.< I didnt even realise I did it until after. Thanks for moving for me! Primordial Child (talk) 04:31, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, happy to help :) -- 04:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

File:Dot.png is for marking tables in a way that mimics a table like so: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/garen-spin-to-crit-99504 (look for the table near the top, about one page length down titled "Ability Sequence"). -- 03:07, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is exactly it. Primordial Child (talk) 03:18, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking at that page, it looks like yes would be more appropriate to me, but since I haven't played LoL, I won't argue if you decide File:Dot.png is more appropriate. -- 01:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it would work but it doesnt exactly fit quite right. A check mark, bullet point, etc would all fit better than simply "yes". Thank you though :) Primordial Child (talk) 05:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Image Discussion
It's Neo22. I've been trying to work on the image a bit, but is there a way to rename the file name or does the admin have to do that, if possible, could you change it so that the fire name for my sprite has a sprite at the end (Pokemon_Conquest_HeroMaleSprite.png) I didn't know what to name it other than the character you play as. Also for the pokemon, they each have their own art in the game, what name should I put when uploading the pokemon art?

--Neo22 (talk) 20:41, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * "Pokemon Conquest HeroMale" is fine, unless you're intending on having several images of the same character (usually, more than one won't be needed). As for Pokémon art, we already have art for most Pokémon, except for Generation V (see Category:Pokémon artwork). So, there's probably no need to upload art for all 649 Pokémon just for this one game. If you want to upload the art for the Generation V Pokémon, use the name format "Pokemon 001Bulbasaur.png", replacing "001" and "Bulbasaur" as appropriate, and place all in Category:Pokémon artwork. -- 21:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * There are different spirtes for the characters once they level up, but I wasn't planning on adding them because it would take up too much space on the page. As for the pokemon image, the art from the core pokemon games to Conquest are different, Compare the image of Eevee from the core pokemon games to Conquest and you can see they are different. Plus there's only 170 pokemon in Conquest. Do you still want me to use the official art on here or upload the new pictures that are in Conquest? --Neo22 (talk) 19:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Upload the game-specific versions. No one cares about Pokemon Yellow if they're playing this game. Also, upload the other character sprites; we can make them fit on the page nicely. -- 22:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Lost internet for three days due to a severe storm. But I will upload them when I get the chance. I'll let you know when I get the other two sprites up for the hero. --Neo22 (talk) 18:05, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I apologize for sounding demanding. No worries. I hope things get better for you. =) -- 19:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. You're jut doing your job. Keep up the good work. I have uploaded the two images. Go ahead and try to make them fit in nicely, i'll try to follow up by doing the rest. They are Pokemon Conquest HeroMale2.png and Pokemon Conquest HeroMale3.png if you need the name for them. --Neo22 (talk) 20:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Normally we link to the files by doing this: (see the code for the specially placed, preceding colon) File:Pokemon Conquest HeroMale2.png and File:Pokemon Conquest HeroMale3.png, but since you notified me, I can check your contributions to find out what you've done or uploaded. They should be on the page by the time you read this. -- 00:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Grammar rules
I see you reverted my edit in Oracles of Ages (rings page) with the purpose of restoring several grammar mistakes. That's vandalism. That's really annoying. Please don't do that anymore. I'll write more when I calm down. --Abacos (talk) 20:33, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I'm not upset anymore, I can have a respectful discussion. Still, "OoA" is wrong, as "USoA" would be; "OA" would be correct, as "USA" is. You can trust me on this: I'm not Irish nor American, I'm a Continental, and on the Continent Grammar is a subject taught from the beginning of primary school until the beginning of high school. Quoting a famous proverb, "If all your friends jump off the cliff, would you jump as well?" British and American Common law say that yes, you should jump because of the precedents, but Roman law (used all over Europe) says no, you should not because a codified rule says so. No harm meant, it's just a cultural difference between UK/USA and Europe. Cheers and sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. :-) --Abacos (talk) 22:45, 29 June 2013 (UTC)


 * No offence taken. I wish schools here put as much effort into teaching proper grammar. :/ Anyway, on that page, I was going by the abbreviations used here and here - those links are from two of the most popular Zelda resources on the Internet, and most Zelda fans will be familiar with the abbreviations used on those sites. I'm a bit of a stickler for proper grammar myself, so I know they're grammatically incorrect, and they stick out like a sore thumb to me, but I'm just using what I think most users will be familiar with (though that goes back to "If all your friends jump off the cliff, would you jump as well?"). Since you've contributed to the guide more than I have, though, I'll leave the final decision to you. -- 23:04, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Did I edit Oracle of Ages that much? By the way, I added this note on the main page: It is commonly abbreviated OoA or tLoZ:OoA, although the grammatically correct abbreviations would be OA or LZ:OA. That should settle it, right? We quote both the wrong abbreviation and the right one. Maybe I'm sort of a "missionary of grammar", trying to spread the Knowledge in uncharted lands :-) (PS: I think in English-speaking schools there is no time to teach much grammar because the English spelling requires ages; do you know this joke? An Irish friend showed it to me :-D ) --Abacos (talk) 14:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, I can now see you in 2 places!
I posted a message for you on Wikirby, since I have an account there as well! Well, nice seeing you! :-) Meinfoo22 (talk) 23:39, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Cool, good to see you helping out on some of the other wikis. :) -- 23:42, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it OK if I do a Super Smash Bros. Personality test right here on StrategyWiki, but on my talk page?--Meinfoo22 (talk) 16:29, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not on your talk page, but as long as it's within your userspace, it's fine. -- 17:46, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, Thanks.--Meinfoo22 (talk) 19:03, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Meaning of (top)?
I've seen this next to a few of my contributions and can't find anything to explain it's meaning. Also thanks for tidying some of them.


 * I'm not entirely sure what (top) means, but it only appears beside edits that are the most recent changes on that page, so maybe it's just marking that out. Also, please remember to sign your talk page posts with ~ . Thanks. --


 * That's my understanding of it too: the "top" comment is at the top in the "History" of that page, that is it's the last edit. --Abacos (talk) 23:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Let's meet: slàinte!
Hi Moydow. I just read on your profile that you're Irish. I'll be in Dublin from Mon 9th to Thu 12th September. Any chance to meet in person? (Actually, I'll be in Scotland from tomorrow to the 9th, I'll probably see your reply just on the 9th) --Abacos (talk) 23:36, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
