Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! --  Duke Ruckley Talk 17:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for working on the Left 4 Dead guide. I've been meaning to do some work on it myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet.-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 17:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If you check out the toolbox just below the edit box, there's a bunch of handy links to insert common markup into pages. The Header and Footer Nav are both down there to hopefully make it easier. -- Prod (Talk) 07:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Table of Contents
Make sure you use the full address path name on the Table of Contents links. Using  Controls  makes a page at Adventures of Lolo/Table of Contents/Controls, which I doubt was your intention. Something was also weird with the Header Nav. I'm not sure what was going on there, but you can check this diff to see what I'm talking about. Just use the "Table of Contents" button above the edit text box when creating the ToC, and it will fill out the Header with tags for you. Thanks, - naj zere 17:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Bobbleheads
Is revealing the locations of the bobbleheads really a spoiler to the plot? I'd suggest using sidebar to show secondary information like that instead. -- Prod (Talk) 19:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work you've been doing with the Fallout III guide. It's looking really good :D. -- Prod (Talk) 03:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Team Fortress stats
Hi, I was looking at the TF2 stats page and thought I saw an omission. Don't players also get points for pushing and/or capturing the payload cart? It seems distance-based (a point per every number of feet you push it), but I could never figure out what it was. Great contributions by the way. Baejung92 (talk) 00:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * From what I can tell, players seem to get 2 points for pushing the cart for a distance, but none for reaching the capture point. I don't have information on the scoring behind it, since I only did a single test. --Sigma 7 04:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Sysop nomination
Hi. I've nominated you for sysop status, due to your whirlwind of edits since January, and your good understanding of the way things work here. Please edit the page to accept or decline the nomination and, if you accept, answer the questions on the page. Thanks, and good luck. --DrBob (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sigma, I think you need to say whether you accept the nomination before anyone can vote. This might not be true but no one has places their votes yet, so I just assumed that was the reason. I've been waiting to vote for you and you're keping me in suspence : ). BTW, most of the other sysops are sometimes in IRC, so maybe you should hang out there sometime. Keep up the good work! 12:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, I've updated the page with the acceptance. --Sigma 7 23:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Congratulations, you're now a sysop. Make sure you've read the StrategyWiki guide fully – especially the admin guide – and use your power wisely. --DrBob (talk) 17:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirects
No need to label redirects for deletion. We'll take care of them as we see them, otherwise they don't really have much negative impact. Just make sure nothing links to the page. -- Prod (Talk) 22:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Your sysopness
Congrats on becoming a sysop! It's a great accomplishment for one that has been on the site for as short of a time as you have to be given the trust and responsibility that comes along with a sysop position. To help make your life easier, I've compiled an admin guide for you to read over at your leisure so that you may become more familiar with all of the tools available to you and so that you may learn how to handle certain sticky situations. In addition, you may wish to acquaint yourself with our policies if you have not done so already. If you need any additional assistance, feel free to come onto IRC or leave a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to help. Once again, congratulations! -- 23:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Even though I forgot to vote my support I wanted to mention that your productivity is awe inspiring. Many congrats on making it! --Zaiqukaj 07:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I want to apologize for neglecting to vote S7, but congratulations. You would have had my support anyway.  Why does your nick sound familiar to me?  You weren't a #SNES-er back in the day, were you?  You'd know what I mean if you were...  Pro  cyon  18:07, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Game logos
You should probably bring it up on the forums before creating any new image categories. There are already a couple threads on it. - najzere T 17:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Channeling vs. Channelling
I understand that words that end in -el do not add a second "l" for American English and do for British English. I went back and double checked with Guild Wars, so it was right before. I'm going to go ahead and revert that one. I'm not going to get to check on the rest, I've gotta jump off here. Anyway, just wanted to let you know.-- Duke Ruckley Talk 01:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Blocking Policy
Don't you have some sort of blocking policy?(Noryb989 03:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC))

Dark Spire?
Hey, thanks for correcting the Dark Spire title; question for you, though. How do I move existing pages to a new name? I was working on "Dark Spire/Weapons" while you made that change, not sure how to relink it now. Thanks! --Keldi 17:07, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, never mind, someone did it already. Wow. Uh, feel free to remove this, I guess, I have no idea how. Sorry! --Keldi 17:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Positive edits in the wrong place
Please move content instead of removing it (i.e. Mind Control). Thanks, -- 19:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Unsure of term you used
Can you explain what you mean by linkrot when you made this edit?--Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales (talk) (contributions) (email) 17:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Linkrot refers to links no longer working as time passes. --Sigma 7 19:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

TF2 achievements
Hi! Were you planning to upload the new images on the TF2 achievements page? If not, I can do them, but I wanted to make sure beforehand since I'd have to change the links to end in .png rather than the .jpg you linked them as on the page. Bae jung92  (talk) 05:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I chose JPG since it was the one I had the easiest access to. I don't have any issues having it switched to .PNG if it's easier to upload.  --Sigma 7 15:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
