The Welcome to StrategyWiki notice won't go away even if I mark it read.
When I mark it read, it goes away, but if I reload the page or go to a new page, it's back. Super annoying. Not sure if here's where to report that. Alaharon123 (talk) 18:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

The Quest (1983)
The game contains the following riddle, and I am struggling to solve it. Google has no answer, either. Any suggestions?


 * Blue as the sky on a summer day,
 * Fresh as a field of just cut hay,
 * Deep as the pits beneath the fires of hell,
 * Clear as a note from a pure silver bell,
 * Still as a graveyard on a cold winter night,
 * Ruthless as a hawk in its death dealing flight,
 * As peaceful as a river that flows gently by,
 * The question to answer is: "What am I?"

WRONG ANSWERS (so far): water, lake, sea, ocean, lagoon, river, ice, sadness. Abacos (talk) 10:58, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * A well? -- Prod (talk) 13:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No. After "well", I also tried wellspring, spring, source, abyss, rain. The sphinx says they are all wrong. Maybe the answer is unrelated to water? Abacos (talk) 14:51, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Try SPHINX? -- Prod (talk) 18:13, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought: "He is kidding, the sphinx is not blue nor fresh, and what it says is the very opposite of clear!". I tried and... it worked! This is real "thinking out of the box"! Thanks :) --Abacos (talk) 15:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Xevious Arrangement images
As a result of missing some of the Sols and Zos in this game (which I feared I would), I have had to move some of the images around; after several screw-ups while attempting to correct the numbering in the descriptions (which I know I will also have to do for the affected areas' pages), I must say that the unnecessary redirects "File:NCV1-XEV Area 10.png", "File:NCV1-XEV Area 13B.png" and "File:NCV1-XEV Area 14C.png" have been marked for deletion (as I have requested that the images "File:NCV1-XEV Area 13A.png" and "File:NCV1-XEV Area 14B.png" should get renamed to the second and third of those titles respectively, in order to make way for images of the Sols that I missed).

 * Done. :) Let me know if I did anything wrong. -- Wario Talk 20:16, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
