Thanks for the Welcome
Thanks for the greeting Adan. I'm new to this but I like it, so any advice you have would be greatly appreciated as well. There's a lot I'm still learning how to do. User talk:Wareagle884 8:46 A.M., June 4, 2008

Re: My skin (from PatPeter's talk page)
I use MonoBook as my default skin anyway. I can't stand the newer stuff. ;) --Skizzerztalk - contribs 20:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I do hope this maintenance is done soon. :( - Adan Aileron (talk) 23:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Image Deletions
My first sweep only got porn, random off-the-wall things, a couple gang symbols, and other off-topic things. I'm leaving anything even remotely related to gaming for possible addition to articles later. Make sure you don't delete something that would fit in nicely in an article. :) --Charitwo 02:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for moving the article. I'll make sure to keep on checking up on it.


 * How would I add small capitals such as what the 'power of 2' looks like? I hope that made sense.Sparkyj 02:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, you've been alot of help.Sparkyj 02:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up my socom article(s). They look nice and tidy now lol--HermXIV 02:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Goron Mine's (article deletion)
Melanie Rachel Ravenswood 16:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)AA did you delete the Goron Mine's Page? And if so why?


 * Actually, Cs california deleted it ( deletion log entry for Goron Mine's ). He didn't really supply a reason, though, so I undeleted it. Incidentally, if you ever need to know who deleted any page, you can check the deletion log.


 * Also, I would appreciate it if you could put a bit more effort into the articles you create. - Adan Aileron (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Melanie Rachel Ravenswood 02:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)I Am sorry I do not know how to make all of those stuff.


 * Well, better spelling and grammar would be a start. :) I can take care of the template and categories if you'd rather not, so there's no need to worry about that. Just so you know, however, this is just a request, not a demand. - Adan Aileron (talk) 23:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Wiki Gaming Giveaway
Heya! I just wanted to give you a heads-up that we will be launching a Wiki Gaming giveaway this afternoon. The contest pages will live at project:Puzzle Challenge and some sub-pages there. You'll probably see some extra activity on the site during the event. I'll be protecting some of the pages in order to maintain the integrity of the event, so please don't change them in any way. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! --KyleH (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with Folklore
Thanks Adan. I didn't know how to do that. The link to the Folklore Wiki on the Folklore page looks much better now. :) Takir 04:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. Just part of what I do here. :) - Adan Aileron (talk) 04:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

oops!
Thanks See, I'm so used to delete I considered it the target article :P --Charitwo 00:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

You delete 'Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules/soundtrack'!?
You are a big jerk/freak. I can't believe you delete that page, I worked hard on this!

You big freak!! - Brandon101 16:59, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It's a redirect, and that page is meant for soundtrack information.


 * I didn't delete either Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules/video or Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules/notes, though. All your real work is safe. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Zahid Shaikh
Umm... if I take the Reality Engine features from the Artificial Studios Website and try to put it in my words, will that be okay....?

and thanks for the welcome --Zahid shaikh 05:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would caution you against adding advertising/promotional text, but sure, as long as it's not overly similar, that should be ok. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:06, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!
I generally thank you for making articles that I edit better with spelling corrections and that. If Dragon Quest IX is one of your goal projects, then you might want to know that I have created three redirects for it: Thanks for editing Planet 51 in a constructive way, and we might work on it in the future? 217.42.208.35 20:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Dragon Quest IX
 * Dragon Quest 9
 * Dragon Quest IX Hoshizora no Mamoribito


 * I had already noticed the redirects, but thanks for telling me anyway. You're welcome, and perhaps I will edit the Planet 51 article some more in the future. - Adan Aileron (talk) 20:10, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the Ghosts 'n Goblins pages
Yeah I seriously couldn't figure those templates out. Devilmanozzy 21:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. - Adan Aileron (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

two questions

 * 1) Are there any rules about creating character articles? (like how major do they have to be)
 * 2) What are the categories that need to be added to game box images as I lan to upload a few for the Spyro games.

Also, do pages get deleted if they have no references?

-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  15:36, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah those answers really helped, I asked another admin a few days ago, but he/she never responded so i'm glad I saw you on the wiki.

I added a delete tag to the page Fire Emblem Updates
it just seems to be a page about Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and so has no point.

you guys still get a lot of new users here?
man I have had this game forever and never thought to see if it had a wiki....


 * Hi, and welcome. We do occasionally get new people signing up here.


 * Incidentally, since Wiki Gaming is a general gaming wiki, I'm not sure which game you're referring to. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

hi quick q
the godfather 2 article stub i created needs an infobox if you have time much appreciated. --Slidyshady190 21:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, a page with infobox and box art already exists as The Godfather II. You are welcome to help further improve that page if you like. - Adan Aileron (talk) 01:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I tip my hat to thee, good sir.
I was curious as to if you could direct me towards a list of the orphaned or otherwise underdeveloped wiki pages and other assorted goodies of that nature. I'd like to help around here, but I'm afraid if I don't build from the bottom up or fix spelling and grammar, I'm not going to be very helpful :( Thank you for your time.--Mattmeister 23:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There's the usual group of maintenance special pages, Category:Stub and Category:Maintenance. You can start with those, or if there's anything more specific you needed to know, please feel free to ask. Thanks for your help so far. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:04, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Heh, I haven't done much. I'll look there. I know a few MMOs and gaming sites, but I haven't experienced the full breadth of this sub section yet. Thanks :D--Mattmeister 02:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Featured Images
I added some variety to the featured images (one mediEvil image, one Fire Emblem, one Pikmin and one Spyro), I hope you don't mind that I didn't ask if it was ok first, but I was sick of seeing so many Final Fantasy images.

Is it ok to upload more images to that category? If so I might add some more from a few other wikis aswel.

your old Dead Rising walkthrough
Hello, I know I'm many years behind the times, as Dead Rising was one of the first good Xbox 360 games. I've just recently discovered the glory of wiki gamesites via Fallout 3, and just started playing Dead Rising. I trust that wiki walkthroughs are generally the best, but you are the only one who made one for Dead Rising, and I am depressed that it was deleted, for I am sure that it was the best one online. Is there any chance that you can email me the walkthrough? I assume that it would be a COLOSSAL attachment, but, is there any way I can get it? I know I'm being very repetitive here, but I bought Dead Rising about 6 months ago when it was nice and cheap, and am only now realizing its greatness. It has perhaps the worst save system of any game ever made, so your guide would be a great help. I see that you are now into Disgaea for PSP, I am as well! I bought it on release day, but never had the time to learn to play it, for it is the most gloriously complicated Tactics game I've ever played (and I'm a Final Fantasy Tactics MANIAC). I was laid off a few months back, and the silver lining to that cloud is that I've had the time to learn the intricacies of Disgaea! Also, I didn't have time for Dead Rising, due to the horrendous save system. Now that I do, can you help me out?

My email is [snip] -


 * Unfortunately, there's no walkthrough to send you, as the page just had the text "This game is cool!". I wouldn't have deleted the page if it was even a half-decent walkthrough. Incidentally, I've never played the game myself and wouldn't know enough to actually write a walkthrough for it. It sounds like fun, though.
 * I would be playing Disgaea on PSP except that mine PSP's broken. I've also played Final Fantasy Tactics.
 * Have you seen the Dead Rising wiki? There's no walkthrough that I can see there, though.
 * I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you, but I hope you find what you're looking for, and maybe come back and write a walkthrough here, as Wiki Gaming doesn't actually have one. Have fun with the game. - Adan Aileron (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Portal:Role Playing Games
The TFU MUX Wiki just hit 1001 pages. I don't wish to be presumptuous, but I was wondering what the process was to get one of those neat "___ hits 1000!" Featured Article messages. *^_^*

Twisted Metal Fan Fiction
How can I connect my wiki page to the fanon page underneath the Fanon Gaming Wikis? can't figure it out. Max Jordan 19:51, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting Pictures and links
Hi !

You delet on my wiki some pictures. And some link to other pages. This pages is for exemple of pictures for illustrate my game. So, I would save it. But, you will delet it if I stick it on my wiki. So, what's solution ? I can make a link to the official wiki of any games of my references. Or other ?

Or I will oblige to quit wiki ?


 * Response on User talk:Maliciusthegame. - Adan Aileron (talk) 18:32, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
Thanks for the welcome, though this place is impossible to edit. It doesn't show you if you left behind a header in the middle of nowhere, since there's no indication that you forgot something... so you leave equal signs lying around...

Wikipedia is so much easier to use.

70.29.212.131 12:21, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I do agree that there are problems with the rich text editor. Fortunately, there are some things that can be done to deal with these issues. One is the "source mode" button in the upper right. Also, logged-in users can turn it off altogether in favour of the standard wikitext editor in use on Wikipedia. Happy editing, and I hope that was at least somewhat helpful. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Gaming news blog proposal
Hi, I'm Paweł from Wiki Gaming Team. Plese take a look at our proposal regarding making this wiki a source of all sorts of gaming news at User_blog:Ausir/Gaming_news_blog_proposal and tell us what you think! Ausir(talk) 20:06, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Adding some Sega CD covers :)
Hi there, just found your Sega CD gallery and have nearly a dozen of them that I can update the ol' page with :)

Unfortunately I don't know much about coding at all which, even though I'm learning a few things, I don't know how to add these; when I hit Source there still doesn't appear to be a way (that I can see anyhow) to upload them. So if you could either give me some advice on just how to do that or I can just e-mail them I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Darrylb500 22:53, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Images can be uploaded using Special:Upload and placed in a category (eg. Category:Sega CD box art) by editing the image description page (eg. File:AndroidassaultCD.jpg) and placing a link to the category page in it (eg. ). That will put it into the "gallery" at the bottom of the page. Hope that helps. - Adan Aileron (talk) 23:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

War Metal Wiki
Hello! I figured it is about time the War Metal Wiki was added to the Casual list. I've learned more in the past 5 months working on it than I learned in the previous 7 months when I first joined the Wiki community. I hope to be a long-time contributor to other wikis whenever possible. Refiner 01:39, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, that's no problem. In fact, feel free to add other wikis that aren't in the appropriate lists. Perhaps you might even consider contributing here. Anyway, happy editing. - Adan Aileron (talk) 15:27, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup
This wiki is full of wikidump with articles copied from wikipedia. Can you do anything about it? Slipknot Darkrai 10:48, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you suggest? - Adan Aileron (talk) 23:05, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it looks like the only thing to do is to clean them up manually. I've done a few myself, as have others, and many duplicates have been deleted.
 * Time is about the only way to go about it, I'm afraid... Darrylb500 01:08, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sysop
If I do well here will I become a sysop? Also I am aiming to become a VSTF or a Wiki Staff member... Slipknot Darkrai 15:26, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not impossible, though I do have some concerns. For one thing, Adminship isn't really about "power". Also, I would question the value of reverting a full article (even a Wikipedia import) to a sentence-free stub. Anyway, I'll have a look at your contributions and consider this. I can't make any definite promises, though. - Adan Aileron (talk) 00:14, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I revert wikidumps to cleanup this wiki cuz wikidumps make the articles look messy. Slipknot Darkrai 13:57, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's more than one way to fix a messy article. I'm not that upset, though. The content is still in the history and can be reincorporated by anyone who wishes to do so. - Adan Aileron (talk) 00:53, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK then i'll try again. Slipknot Darkrai 11:02, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Have you considered me getting sysop privileges yet? Slipknot Darkrai 18:32, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not yet. It's still on my to-do list, though. - Adan Aileron (talk) 01:22, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the last time I will ask you, but have you made up your mind about me having sysop privileges yet? I have created the Porygon-Z page....


 * Oh I forgot to mention Dream Focus said it was OK if we revert his edits so we are allowed to. Also I want those Sysop powers to delete that import mess he had made so that is why I want those privileges :/. Can you help me out here and give me the powers and clean up this import mess?

I'm not sure precisely what you are asking for here. Are you asking for temporary rights? I'm not sure we do that here. Also, I would need a better idea of what pages you intend to delete before granting rights to do so. Incidentally, I did not approve of giving Dream Focus rights to do what he did either.

I also have to admit your impatience is making me nervous. That's generally not a good sign with regard to someone seeking admin rights, at least in my opinion. - Adan Aileron (talk) 05:52, February 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks and by that I mean I want to delete the wikidump articles that weren't articles before the import happened and I would like to just do some more stuff with my privileges such as an instant rollback which will be nice and deleting and undeleting pages which is the best part of the sysop abilities. I also want to move images to give better names such as Mario.jpg or Kirby.jpg instead of 262636364747.jpg or stuff like that so that is why I want those privileges so thanks and I also apologize for my impatient behavior and it is just that I am enthusiastic about my powers.


 * The pages I want you to delete is List of arcade games, List of Japanese arcade cabinets, etc. you name it. Now can I become a sysop?


 * Sorry, but not at this time. I don't believe the pages you're talking about should be mass-deleted (at least not without a clear consensus to do so). - Adan Aileron (talk) 15:18, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * They should be considered for deletion because first of all list of Japanese Cabinets is wikidumped and That makes a mess of nonexistent gaming pages sometimes and why are you not deleting them. You have opposed my sysop privileges and I am sorry I asked Alphatwo you just seemed inactive. So it is a no about sysop rights correct. Thx....


 * Oops... I forgot to mention. Maybe I should cleanup the wikidumps and copy the right and proper way without broken uneeded links and templates not used like Bws2cool does. Is THAT okay?


 * Um.... hello Adan you have promised to grant me the sysop rights? Because you stated it in one of your comments. Also look on how much I reverted wikidumps. It floods the history, but I did a great job correct?

I don't believe I promised you that... which of my comments do you believe says that?

As for your edits, if all you care about is removing imported text, I suppose you are. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:29, February 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you help me out here and give me the powers and clean up this import mess? Slipknot Darkrai


 * I'm not sure precisely what you are asking for here. Are you asking for temporary rights? I'm not sure we do that here. Also, I would need a better idea of what pages you intend to delete before granting rights to do so. Incidentally, I did not approve of giving Dream Focus rights to do what he did either. <- that one and also please delete Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/to do because it is imported.


 * Nothing in the quoted text was meant as a definite promise. Anyway, I've already given you my answer, so this topic is now closed. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:18, February 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wait one last thing. I have decided to set up my own nomination on the Wiki Gaming:Admin nominations page so you can oppose or support me there or even make a comment, but I prefer to see your opinion and I set it up there to see your comments about my work currently and my future edits. Sorry if you don't like it then you may revert me so yeah. I set a week for voting. Thanks


 * Another thing. Why did you deny my request? I don't really understand. Can you please explain a little better?
 * Honestly, I don't believe you have the qualities required in an administrator at this time. Patience and attention to detail are two of these qualities.
 * Really, though, you have been asked multiple times to stop asking about adminship/VSTF. No more comments on this topic. If I feel you have become a suitable candidate for the additional rights, I will tell you. - Adan Aileron (talk) 22:16, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

This Wiki
It is in a giant need of cleanup and a do-over. What are we going to do about this? Rabbit Lover 21:34, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you have any suggestions? - Adan Aileron (talk) 21:47, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Some pages have no links, some pages are placeholders, etc. so this wiki needs a giant cleanup which may take a year to finish. Rabbit Lover 12:12, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was hoping for something more specific than that.
 * By the way, please do not presume to lecture me on what one is or isn't allowed to do with creative-commons licensed content. - Adan Aileron (talk) 12:58, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay =). Umm... why are we allowed to copypaste from other wikis here. Isn't that illegal? Rabbit Lover 18:54, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * As a general rule, yes, it is copyright infringement. However, when a site releases their content under a free-content license (eg. creative commons or GFDL), it is permitted to copy content provided the terms of the license are obeyed.
 * For instance, this wiki, Wikipedia and mariowiki.com have chosen to release their content under the CC-BY-SA license. This allows reuse provided that:
 * SA:The content is reshared under the terms of the same license, and
 * BY:The source is given proper attribution
 * In the case of Baby Peach, we release all content under the same license they use, and you can see the required attribution notice at the bottom of the article.
 * Incidentally, this also applies to Wikipedia. If you still have questions, please ask. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:39, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you the only sysop here? Rabbit Lover 17:59, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * As you may already be aware, no, I am not. I'm not the only bureaucrat here, either. You can see Special:ListUsers/sysop and Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat for a list. - Adan Aileron (talk) 21:28, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Other wikis
Is it okay if I copy from other wikis? Besides I am Rabbit Lover and I forgot my password. Jello Rabbit 21:21, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

GamingWiki proposal

 * Think I could become a sysop soon seeing that Veilor fails to delete all the stuff I request for deletion because he is possibly busy? There are thousands of blank categories, unused files, etc. Jello Rabbit 19:25, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

News Blog Proposal
Hello, my name is Nic and I'm a member of the Wiki Content team. A few months ago one of my colleagues contacted you about setting up a news blog system on the main page. His proposal was here, we are again going back to this idea and wanting to get your approval for it. The only difference to his proposal is that we would also set up a "Gaming News Team" where people could apply to be the person responsible for the news each day. Let us know if this is something that you'd be interested in. - Wagnike2 17:14, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, it seemed like a good idea back then and it still does now, so sure, go ahead. One thing, though. Were you planning for the news team to be open membership or something that requires approval? - Adan Aileron (talk) 21:59, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * It needs approval sort of, but at the same time it is relatively open. I mean, nobody will get different rights or be forbidden from posting news if they want to, it's just a sort of "distinction" that somebody could have if they apply for it officially. It's a bit convoluted I know. - Wagnike2 15:54, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * So, an "official group" that requires approval to join, though membership isn't required to post news. Well, I guess that could work. Thanks for answering. - Adan Aileron (talk) 02:25, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! You're the Bureaucrat of the Wiki? I just wanted to drop by and say hi! :D I made a 100 edits in 2 days, not bad for a beginner, right? :D  I am the true Jedi Master!   15:48, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I seem to be the only active bureaucrat at the moment. Anyway, hi. As for your edits, don't forget quantity isn't everything. Quality helps, too. :) - Adan Aileron (talk) 15:53, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, I added a LOT of info to the emulator and Pokemon games pages as well as categorized a LOT of games. And tnx. I just crossed my 150 mark. I'll be on the computer for 30 more minutes and I plan to make at least 200 edits by the end of the day.
 * If I make it to 1,000 quality mainspace edits, can I become a Rollback or Admin? Not that I want to, I'm planning to finish 1,000 edits by June 15th, but I only require Admin or Rollback rights by July 1st - 15th.
 * But can I put up a request now? You know, it takes a month to get the screening done! :D Kenobi.jpg I am the true Jedi Master!  Skywalker.jpg 16:14, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, 200 edits accomplished. Tomorrow, 350! I'm going on a 150 edit per day scale so that in 8 days, I'll get 1,000 edits. Also, I put up my nomination request. Remember to vote! *winkwink* :D Kenobi.jpg I am the true Jedi Master!  Skywalker.jpg 16:31, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd like for you to take some time to acclimatize yourself to Wiki Gaming's policies and procedures first. For instance, articles should only be in the most specific categories that apply to them. This means that most game articles should not actually be in the games category, as they belong in more specific categories.
 * Incidentally, the process of hiring staff/interns does not, as far as I know, require the applicant to have any specific rights on this, or any other, wiki. Feel free to give me a link to any document that says otherwise, though. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:38, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * How'd you know about that? And of course, all games are basically categorized into "Games" and then into sub divisions. Its hierarchy dude. From the most general, to the most varied. Oh and I thought it'd be an asset if I was an admin on Gamign Wiki before I applied for the post of Gaming Content Intern. The better the experience, the better the chances! :D Kenobi.jpg I am the true Jedi Master!  Skywalker.jpg 16:41, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * I saw you discussing it on other editors' talk pages via Special:RecentChanges. The experience thing is somewhat true, but admin experience can be obtained on any wiki.
 * Most of the articles on the wiki are about games. A category with 10 000+ articles in it would be utterly useless as it would be impossible to find anything specific in it. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:00, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I still see that you haven't voted for me. Hmph. JKIN, you can vote only if you want to, no pressure. Anyways, so I should categorize into the sub divisions like Nintendo 64 games or Nintendo DS games? And I gotta go to bed, its 10:43 p.m. here (on the other side of the world if you are living in USA :D) so, g'night! And vote for me, mmk? No pressure k? (Except that if you don't vote I might kill you! :D) JKIN again, seriously bye! G'night!! :D See u tomorrow, where I'll reach 400 edits! (Yaa!) Kenobi.jpg I am the true Jedi Master!

A New Sysop
As I said, we need more sysops on this wiki. Anytime soon that me or Yoda gets promoted? Veilor appears to lack activity and you do too. :l Jello Rabbit 17:12, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not for a while, I'm afraid. Much as I'd like to promote more people, I don't currently see any good candidates. I've added comments to both your nominations as you've already noticed. There are editors I am looking at as potential candidates (if only they edited more...), so it's not like I'm against the idea of adding more administrators.


 * As for my activity, I may not edit as much as I'd like, but I check recent changes daily, and do research into news stories and updates to pages. I do have real-life obligations, though, and I like to spend at least some of my free time playing the games we write about here.


 * There's no big emergency and no need to rush these things. Patience is a virtue, and one you would do well to learn. - Adan Aileron (talk) 15:32, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Eligibility
Hi! Would I be eligible for Sysop promotion... by... lets say, next friday? Would I be old enough on the Wiki by then? Hey, you can't complain! I create the Sony PSP Go and the Nintendo Wii U articles! :D I am the true Jedi Master!  17:19, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree you are doing reasonably well so far, but the timeframe I was thinking of was a fair bit longer than that, somewhere in the area of a few months. Please understand, adminship is not a trophy or badge, it's a responsibility given those who can be trusted to wield it properly. This is not a process that can be rushed. It may be somewhat frustrating for you to read, but please do continue making good edits.


 * PS: Thanks for cutting down the size of your signature. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:03, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had a look at "your" Wii U article. Please cease and desist from copying from Wikipedia without proper attribution as required by the CC-BY-SA license. Thanks. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:15, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, alright, sure. I've applied for Gaming Content Internship on the Hiring Page and if I get that job, I'd be able to help the Wiki more with Helper rights. Sure, of course I'll add to the pages! Also on your Nintendo Hardware template, you forgot Nintendo 3DS - Don't worry, I added it. I'm working on reducing my sig! :D I am the true Jedi Master!  16:59, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S: I see that Veilor has been inactive for sometime now.

 * Why isn't there an article on Nintendo DS xl? I'll add it tomorrow, I'm getting sleepy tonight. G'night, Adan! I am the true Jedi Master!  17:21, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Help
Is temporary sysop status okay if you want to use it for maintainence reasons here? Because I have a plan. I call it Project Cleanup which is deleting unused categories, templates, etc. Jello Rabbit 17:10, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've already got that on my to-do list. However, please keep in mind that not all currently-unused categories are unwanted. The same goes for templates. I'm not sure how aware you are of these issues, so I'm afraid my answer will have to be no. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:25, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know. GOt a proposal going. I just wanted to help, but I guess not :). Jello Rabbit 17:27, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway, I do appreciate the offer, even though I did decline it. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:30, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yer welcome :). I am look forward into the future, a possible time when I can get it and do my version of Project Cleanup. Jello Rabbit 17:34, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Rare games
Do you play Rare games such as Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, or Banjo-Tooie? Jello Rabbit 17:26, June 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've played a number of Rare's older games, including Battletoads, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo-Kazooie, and the three Donkey Kong Country games. I don't own DK64 or Perfect Dark, though, and while I own Banjo-Tooie, I haven't played it because I haven't finished Banjo-Kazooie yet. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:10, June 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I play Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day.


 * Anyways Adan, I have about 5 opposes, 2 of them from new comers. I don't think new comers should be allowed to vote, otherwise people can use sockpuppet voting. I already explained the rules on the talk page of the nominations. Users with 100+ edits must be able to vote.
 * And Adan, when will you support me? Or do you hate me? :(? I am the true Jedi Master!  17:34, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've actually been here since the summer of 2010, I just needed to leave this wiki because I was needed more on other wikis.
 * Edits, buddy. I am the true Jedi Master!  17:58, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * You know, you should really treat people who are more experienced with more respect. So learn to mature.

Harassment
I recommend you get Jedi Master Yoda to stop his harassment and slagging. I've already reported him to staff a couple of times. But as the admin here, you should be the one telling him to stop. Because I've seriously had it. I have personal issues such as depression that I have to deal with. And coming home to find that I'm being slagged off on a wiki doesn't help it at all. So I'd appreciate it if you'd do something about it.

BassJapas is just opposing me on the wiki because I did something on another wiki. Thats not fair. I am the true Jedi Master! 18:00, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, what you're doing is harassment. And I'm sick of it. If you don't stop, I will get someone to do something about you, because you're a couple steps down from cyberbullying. And I'm not taking that. And with my conditions, you're lucky I haven't gotten someone already. So either you stop, or I'm getting a lawyer/whoever deals with these types of things.
 * You stop harassing me on every wiki I go to! Jedi.gif 18:08, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've yet to harass you. Stop trying to seem like you're the one who's victimized. When you're off threatening another user, you've crossed the line. Grow up.
 * Then don't haunt me on every wiki I'm on. From this moment forth, we will indulge in no speaking. Good day. We shall never meet again and will not interfere in other's business. Good day. Jedi.gif 18:15, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was actually on this wiki before you. I only came back because I wanted to work on my walkthrough. So stop being an immature invalid. Because people across wiki are getting sick of your behaviour.
 * I said I didn't want to talk to you. See, you're the one who keeps coming back for more. Jedi.gif 18:18, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * And I said I want the harassment to stop. So either you grow the hell up, or you grow the hell up. Because everybody is sick of your behaviour.

 * Ok, this has gone on for too long. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask both of you to stop your bickering. I'm not sure what happened on the Pokémon wiki, but I'd prefer it if you didn't bring any more drama from there than you already have. - Adan Aileron (talk) 13:44, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

V-G Wiki merge
Would you please help me and BassJapas with it? Thanks. Jello Rabbit 14:53, June 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, could you please refrain from any further copy/pasting of articles from VG wiki? It really isn't respectful to the editors who worked on those articles, and the CC-BY-SA license prohibits copying without proper attribution. It may be best to leave this to staff, anyway, as they have tools to do merges like this one more or less automatically. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:28, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Admin nominations
When do they end? Now? They have been up for a long time. Did I win or lose on it btw. Jello Rabbit 10:13, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I closed them just now. See my comments there for more. Sorry that took so long. I've been rather busy IRL lately. - Adan Aileron (talk) 09:05, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Its okay. Having fun on this wiki anyways. Jello Rabbit 10:29, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Undid MY Edit!?
What, are my categories not good enough for his royalty?  Z mario  00:23, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sarcasm aside, if you were referring to this edit, the categories added were of limited utility, at best. Please stop adding categories for the sake of adding categories. It's not necessary to have categories for every conceivable way of categorizing something. - Adan Aileron (talk) 12:36, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. I understand now :D Thanks for explaining.  Z mario  17:19, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I hope to start a community discussion regarding what the category system should look like at some point, but there are other things that to be dealt with right now (eg. the import mess). I'm not sure when that discussion will take place at the moment. - Adan Aileron (talk) 17:32, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * At this moment in time, the categories are jumbled up - there are way to many non-used categories, doubles/triples, etc. We should start a category clean-up project. If we can get some other active members - we could do it easily.  Z mario  19:42, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is certainly true, and cleaning that up is something I definitely want to have done. If there are enough editors for such a project, feel free to start one. - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:59, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Request for Navigation Addition
Would it be possible to add an addition to the Navigation template, Quotes. I think Quotes would be perfect for games. I am someone who loves reading text in a video game, and I would love to fill out quotes from video games [like Harvest Moon, etc]!  Z mario  01:11, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll look into doing that, though quotes have previously been placed on the game's page directly (eg. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness). - Adan Aileron (talk) 16:59, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * The example you've shown me has MEMORABLE quotes - I'm thinking more of every quote from a game.  Z mario  19:13, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please tell me you're not planning to add entire game scripts. That would be way too much text (especially for RPGs like Oblivion), and well outside the boundaries of fair use. - Adan Aileron (talk) 19:19, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I don't mean transcripts. I should have put it like quotes a character says all the time (like the Harvest Moon games - they say the same lines every day).  Z mario  19:44, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Adminship
How does someone nominate another person to be an Administrator. Self nominations are not allowed - so I'll have to wait for someone to tell me to run? I've been interested in getting adminship on this Wiki (I had it before, but it was revoked because of a complication with the way I got it [read my talk page and you'll understand]).  Z mario  23:35, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Editing Issue
I recently changed the name of a page, because it was a walkthrough and didn't have /walkthrough at the end, so I moved it. It's not letting me add the navigation template to it. Something about a spam filter has blocked it. Could you look into it?  Z mario  14:22, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Update, there is no game information for it. Neon Genesis Evangelion 64/walkthrough The name of the game was the walkthrough, do you think maybe that is what is causing the problem?  Z mario  14:24, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure what's happening here, as I was able to add the navigation template easily. If you still have the exact error message you received, could you paste it here? It will definitely help determine what went wrong. - Adan Aileron (talk) 14:29, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Adminship
I know that someone has to nominate someone else to become an Administrator, but do you think, with the low amount of active accounts, that I could self-nominate myself? I really want to be an Administrator, but I would hate having to wait for someone to nominate me - specially if they don't even know that they have to for someone to run. I was hoping that you would let me atleast self-nominate myself, because this Wiki needs more active Administrators, some have updated for months/years - and I'm almost always on checking the log, adding categories, expanding content, and making new pages.

Thank you for reading this Adan. Please respond on my talk page after you read this.  Z mario  23:02, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * By the way, even if I still won't be able to run, I'll countinue editing on this Wiki for as long as I can. :D  Z mario  23:03, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, you may not self-nominate. If/when I feel you are ready, I will nominate you myself if no one else has by then. As the only currently-active bureaucrat, I would probably be the one to give you the rights should it be successful, anyway. - Adan Aileron (talk) 20:29, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Promotion to Admin
Hi! Its been 2 months since I joined so plz promote me to admin. 11:42, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but no. I've given my reasons on your declined admin nomination. Incidentally, even if clock-time were the only concern, there would still be regular editors ahead of you in line. - Adan Aileron (talk) 13:35, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery
Could you look into adding a "Gallery" category to the Navigation temple?  Z mario  12:00, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see the need, really. A gallery large enough to threaten to dominate the page is probably too large to be justified under the fair use provision of US copyright law. - Adan Aileron (talk) 13:38, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Consolidating a new branch of Wiki for the Ys series
Hi Adan,

I just want to make a brief introduction. About a month ago, I created the isu.gamepedia.com page to devote it to a trove of knowledge devoted to the Ys series (made by Falcom) before there's any further fragmentation in the separate Ys sites I keep finding online. As you may or may not know, there's some existing Ys pages that fall under the gaming.gamepedia.com branch which I would like to make use of to save some time and effort instead of reconstructing from scratch. These entail, but not limited to :

gaming.wiki.com/wiki/Ys_I:_Ancient_Ys_Vanished

gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys_II%3A_Ancient_Ys_Vanished_%E2%80%93_The_Final_Chapter

gaming.wiki.com/wiki/Ys_III:_Wanderers_from_Ys

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys%3A_The_Oath_in_Felghana

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys_IV%3A_Mask_of_the_Sun

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys%3A_The_Ark_of_Napishtim

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys_Origin

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys_V%3A_Kefin%2C_The_Lost_City_of_Sand

http://gaming.gamepedia.com/Ys_Strategy

scratchpad.wiki.com/wiki/Ys_Online

I was just wondering whether I will need your authorization to take them into the Ys wiki. I'm fairly new to the wiki scenes in terms of contribution, so do comment on the etiquette on how give credit.


 * No, specific authorization is not required to copy from Wiki wikis, provided that proper attribution is provided under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license nearly all (if not all) Wiki wikis share.
 * However, I should probably inform you that the pages you refer to on this wiki were originally borrowed from Wikipedia (which uses the same content license as Wiki). You might want to consider checking there as a potential source as well. - Adan Aileron (talk) 13:47, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
