Adminship
You know, I think it's definitely about time you were nominated for adminship. If you're OK with it, I'll put you up as a candidate for sysopness, for all the good work you've done here. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 17:58, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * OK, I've made the nomination page here, and it's just waiting for you to fill in a few things. --DrBob (Talk) 06:39, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * As a sysop, you must now show up on IRC. -- Prod (Talk) 20:37, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Re: Firefox Add-ons
Thanks for the note, and sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. SW was out again, or at least it wasn't working on my computer. Myth 16:58, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

SC: BW
The BW link can be removed from the toc completely, it's linked on the main page. noinclude won't work because that toc is transcluded on every page in the regular StarCraft guide as well, not just the BW guide. -- Prod (Talk) 18:54, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * How about that? -- Prod (Talk) 19:03, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Sysopiness
Hey, congrats on becoming a sysop. You deserve it after the massive amount of work done. I'm kicking myself for not being around to vote in your election, I'm got to try to be around a little more often. Anyway, congrats and have fun with your new powers. :-) Lunar Knight (Talk to me + Contribs) 10:38, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Don't worry, anything you do we can undo (I haven't tried banning myself....Rocky or Lunar might have...). Only thing to be careful with is Special:Import due to what you are importing and proper attribution.  As long as you don't try to ban everyone, play around with your new powers :P. -- Prod (Talk) 21:48, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You can unban yourself, don't worry xD, Just don't do anything to provoke this, and be careful editing the MediaWiki namespace pages cuz they effect the whole site.

My pleasure
You're quite welcome NMH. Unfortunately, my badgering is a sign of my intolerance which is really something that I should be working to improve in myself. Nevertheless, your own improvement here has been remarkable, and can easily serve as a model for the self-improvement that I must also make. So your promotion was well deserved, and I'm glad to be a teammate of yours. Procyon (Talk) 19:08, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Personal Edits
You mentioned "100 or so" and "10 or so", but I didn't understand; 100 or 10 or so what? Could you clear that up? Thanks. --Myth (talk) 20:52, 2 July 2007 (CDT)


 * I see. Thanks for the note. I'll try and remember that in the future. --Myth (talk) 20:57, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Images
Will being in the Screenshots cat do? Or do I need to give more info, also the guidelines don't say anytrhing about it.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 00:18, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * it did before, does this mean I have to go back and add this to all my images or just the few I got from Bulbapedia?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 00:31, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Also Do I need to link to the image otr just say the site.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 00:34, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm not really sure, since it's not a policy at SW yet, but I would try and follow whatWikipedia does by noting fair use/public domain images. So yeah, you have to do this otherwise we are obligated to remove your images since we don't know the legality of potentially copyrighted images.  We know pokemon screenshots are owned by the developers/publishers, and that by using them it's fair use and we would have to take them down if they asked us to; but if someone else actually creates it, please put their name down.  Go back and add credits where need be.  --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 00:57, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * All my images are my own except the mountain (which has attribution) and all the Pokédex and sprite images. There are about 500 of them so it would really help if I could just link to BP's cat for Pokémon images--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 01:14, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * What do you mean by the "Bulbapedia thing would be ok", leave them alone or link to them? Thanx for the explanation--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 01:22, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Images are solely the property of the copyright holders of the assets and/or intellectual property depicted therein. Crediting the source is considered a nice thing to do, but it isn't a legal requirement since these images aren't released under the GFDL. GarrettTalk 04:57, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * So do I or do I not have to credit 500+ images to bulbapedia--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 07:53, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

All images we have are by default "Fair use". Avoid images with trademarks (like gamespot images) and images not created by the official company and we should be fine (unless that images is PD). If the images wasn't created by bp, then you don't have to (cropping doesn't count as making an images). -- Prod (Talk) 21:47, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Looks like you don't Rocky! I bet you're relieved ahaha.  --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 22:08, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

NFS: Carbon
Just to note, that list was arranged in the order the cars were acquired, that's what that first column of numbers meant. -- Prod (Talk) 00:03, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Hyrule Castle map
Hi NMH. Thanks for the compliment ^_^ It all just a lot of GiMP work. The base image was easily found on the internet, just do a search for Zelda Light World and maybe the word map. From there, it was a matter of cutting out the Hyrule Castel Region, adding a 2-px black border to it, and adding the text. The text in the corner conerning the items was just added on, and I pasted the item sprites in. The labels are different. I made them on a seperate buffer, and cut them out and pasted them over the map. I put them all in one layer, and lowered the opacity to around 70% so that the image behind showed through a little bit. It's all a bit involved, but it takes about half an hour. I will be making one of those every all 16 regions (8 light, 8 dark). Procyon (Talk) 13:22, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

lost page
It was Macalania Temple for Final Fantasy X. I am absolutely sure I wrote it, but it's not there anymore. --MutantJones July 10, 2007 10:04

Requests for adminship/Front matter
They are noincluded because I'm including the page into Guide/RFA Procedure, as Front matter best documents it. However, having two Header Navs doesn't look really good, and substituting it into RFA makes even less sense, as it just wastes space doing the same function. As for the box-thingy, they don't need to see the successful requests (as they probably don't care), and there are a few links to Administrators on the page itself anyway. -- 08:25, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Re: Chrono Trigger Boss Template
No prob :-) I'm going to do some research about the other bosses' stats and complete the Boss page, and then implement it for them too.

OD Jam
The main reason behind the scope is to avoid us turning into an advertising agency. We're here to discuss the major games, not advertise the fun games. -- Prod (Talk) 22:44, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Peasant's Quest is highly notable since it is strongly associated with Homestar Runner. I haven't looked at Heli Attack 3, but WP has an article about it, so it must be notable (and I'm pretty sure I've played it before).  If we start to include any game just because there are a few people who like it, we're going to get hundreds of pages about flash games no one has heard about, while simply increasing the ranking of these non-notable games (essentially advertising for them). -- Prod (Talk) 23:33, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
