User talk:JustSomeDude...

This is my talk page. Leave me a message here if you ever want to communicate with me. If I leave a message or reply on your page, it's better that you leave your own reply here on my page, so that I am notified of your reply by both a message that pops up on wikia's toolbar (even when I'm on other wikis) and/or an email (should I be inactive at that time). I do not respond to simple messages like "hi whats up" and I do delete them.

Creepy Law is happy to answer all of your questions!

Signature
You should fix your signature because it links to "User:Example", which does not exist, instead to your user page. 22:55, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I just started to learn about HTML today. I pieced together my signature based on what I could find out from google a long time ago. I think I might have fixed it, but I don't seem to have a sandbox to try it in. So here it goes: JustSomeDude...  23:31, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that didn't quite do it... I think I need some help...

I can help you.

JustSomeDude...

Use this as your signature, in your preferences. If you want to change your signature, Levi or Rici can help you, they're good at making signatures and can teach you how. Levi also have a blog on how to make a signature as well, if you want to use that. 23:45, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Let's try this again: JustSomeDude...  00:05, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yes! It works! Thanks a million Calu and Jade! JustSomeDude... 00:05, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

No problems, glad to help :) 00:06, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Meh
I need you to join chat. Cheese Lord (talk) 03:39, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

Sig Coding
Hey, I noticed some of your comments on these recent forums, but whenever I into source mode, your sig isn't a template like the others. I used to have this problem, and eventually I learned that when you make a sig, you have one page with all the code and a second page with the previous page's name in brackets, like a template. Then when you go to your preferences, put the second page in the signature option. For a better explanation, talk to Rici. Thanks. 03:39, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about the problem. I didn't know I was doing it wrong. But Rici and THT helped me correct this problem. They're so patient... 21:10, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

Banning Policy
Here's what I do. For IP's, I only block repeat offenders, meaning people who vandalize multiple pages, or one page multiple times. I don't really bother with the ones who only do one thing and leave (I call them one hit wonders) because if I did then I would be doing almost nothing but banning IP's.

As for registered users, it depends on what they're doing and how long they've been here. If it's someone who only does one bad edit and leaves, then I treat them as a one hit wonder. If the person does multiple bad edits (and by bad edits, I mean stuff you know you're not supposed to do, like using inappropriate language in articles, blatant stuff), I just ban them without going through the whole warning thing. For users who I can tell have good intentions but are misguided, more often than not their crime is uploading photos that we don't allow (like fanart) or adding speculation or other fanfic crap to pages. People warn them usually and they usually ask me or Yata why the stuff they uploaded was deleted. I then explain the specific part of the image policy they violated. If, after people warn them and their uploads are deleted they continue to upload the same stuff, that is when I step in and state bluntly that if they don't stop, I will ban them. If they stop, everything's peachy and I don't have to do anything else. If they don't then I ban them usually for a month.

As for registered users who have been here a while and for the most part have contributed productively (by that I mean to a considerable number of articles and/or talk page/forum discussions, then they usually get warnings. If the problem doesn't get resolved and the user continues to be difficult, then the forum starts. If you want to see how banning forums work, then just check under users to be banned. That's pretty much how i've gone about the banning policy. If you have any further questions, just hit me up on my talk page. 00:01, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

The only people who know how long they get are the ones that go to forum. Anons get permabanned. As for the ones who mean well but don't listen, I just set it for like a month or something. 03:23, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

Draft of MoS
I don't know if I am allowed but can I edit your draft of the MoS to fix the links? Thanks. 08:22, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

I happen to see your draft, I think you are misunderstanding something: in your manual of style there are many things already settled in other policies, like the Category:Layouts, in the manual of style we should put style guidelines indeed, like "the first mention of the page subject name must be bold" and alike... read the first posts on Forum:Manual of Style for some examples.

Usoop? LOL!! 10:36, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
Hi, thank you for reporting that user to me. I have already saw that he edited as well founded many wikis, though not on all of them was a vandal. So we will look through his contributions and see if a global ban should be the case.

Its about time T^T
Hi Bro, thanks for letting me know ^_^ I will join in the discussion as soon as I get some time out of my busy college schedule T^T COLLEGE WITH 3 HOUR LECTURES SUCKS!! Well regardless I will be sure to achieve my talk-page soon >_> its really long for me to scroll down every time someone sends me a message =_+ Thanks again and c u when I c u. 15:31, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re:White Sig
Yeah, I purposely made my signature's color to match the wiki's background, so people would think that I didn't sign my posts :P Awesome trolling signature, right? 03:18, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? This sig is totally AMAZING! D: 11:43, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Just a small 'lil note of appreciation...
Dude, nothing much but just to say that I recognised you having quite a good supervisory and leadership skills in all that you've invested in improving the wikia on all aspects. From the manual of styles all the way to blog rules, I can see and feel your enthusiastic efforts. This is a very good quality to have (in a person) and I can see this quality carry you far and well into your future career, life and all. I can also feel you having the "no-quitting" attitude and that's good. Keep it up! 07:41, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

re:New Image Guidelines
Okay, I've added a note to this section. Thanks for the reminder. 17:05, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

re:Sig rules
Sounds good. Admin-cadabra, homes. 23:18, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

That's probably a good idea. 13:20, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

And done! 11:51, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Talk Page
Yeah, trying it out right now. Thanks, JSD. 02:19, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

You mean *ugly, chunky piece of a sig that isn't even completed è.é 11:46, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

re:Stickied Thread
Go ahead and update. Everything seems to check out. Thanks. 07:17, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I've archived the forum. In the future just add "|closed=1" into the template, or let it go untouched and it will archive itself. And feel free to restart those forums if they seem important enough.Thanks. 04:05, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Image Guidelines
Are you sure this is a good exeption from the advise not to overload? -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · 06:37, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, got some internet problems over here, so I couldn't answer right away. *shakefist* But now that I had a couple of hours to think about it, it may only be the phrasing that bugged me... Maybe it's clearer this way? -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · 11:45, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Image Guidelines
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't know I had to put a source link for the images. I uploaded other images before and no one told me to do so. Next time I will do it as you said. Where can I put the source for the images? This is the source. Thanks. Link Harvey Dent, fiscal del distrito de Gotham (talk) 16:57, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Manual of Styles of other wikis
Here are some: Final Fantasy, Zeldapedia, Dragon Ball, Narutopedia, Bleach, Memory Alpha, Glee, Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect. Hopefully, they can help you get ideas of how our improvised MoS will be. Thanks. 21:26, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't add the original picture...and didn't notice the screenshot template wasn't there.

Genocyber (talk) 20:59, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Why can't I? It builds up alot of clutter on stuff I don't need.

Re: Poll Rules Forum
I had a glance over it. I disagree on what you said about the banning forum rules not changing anything, since for the two ban forums that have occurred since I joined, neither Meganoide nor Klobis were banned for the extra week. And my objection for the first rule re language was that it was ambiguous, as it didn't clearly refer to a situation like the renders poll.

My view was that there's no point half-assing things - according to you your rules don't change anything, but there's no point having a poll that doesn't change anything then coming back two weeks later to talk about all these new rules that should also be considered. The discussion (including how to deal with multi-option polls) should take place all at once.

Since I'll be sitting in the exam hall 24 hours from now, that's all I have to say for the moment. 05:15, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Image Guidelines
Hey Thomas

Hope your all good! I was trying to upload a photo onto my own profile but it ended up on the recent photos. I have no idea how and Im only contacting you as it says so on the page so sorry for all this but could you delete it? as I could not find any delete button. Totally out of my depth ^_^

eddieteetree

Thanks man ^_^ I think Im gonna run away though. It's kinda way out of my depth here. You guys are experts and I do not really uinderstand how wikis work. I think I will be content to just observe ratrher than contribute from this day forward :-)

Thanks to you and all the others for all the effort you have put ionto this wiki though. I have just started to follow POP and didn't think it bore this much reading into as you all have shown it does, which is great and will mean it might live on for quite some time!Eddieteetree (talk) 14:40, October 30, 2012 (UTC) (Is this what you meant about the signature?) I did that last time but it looks kinda strange so I just put my name eddieteetree.

Admins forum
Sorry, I can't make the forum for quite a while. Apparently I'm expected to get the power back within a week or two. Sorry. I'll make it when I come back ASAP. Or if you want to get it as done as possible, you or someone else can make the forum. Again, sorry. 15:21, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

re:Image renaming template/category
Sure, that sounds great. I'd appreciate it, makes it easier to track pages down for renaming. 05:05, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re:I found something you might enjoy:
*cries from the grammar* 19:41, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Renaming images
After an admin renames an image, would you like the honor of renaming the file links in their respective pages? It would be a lot of work to find them all and do it. 03:11, November 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Quick extension to what Yata says, wouldn't it be easier to rename the files on the page first THEN rename the file itself? It will put a broken link in the page for a minute, but if you rename the file first, it will be harder to find the pages it's on, wouldn't it? 03:16, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Well, if a non-admin renames the image before it's renamed, then that makes a broken link anyways. And then you have no idea when an admin will actually go and rename the images. That's why I think it's best to wait for the category to get filled and and appoint temporary admins to deal with the images in one fell swoop, and rename the image and the links at once. No need to deal with them every day. Also, we can see if bots can actually do it. 03:21, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, they can do it. About your template, it seems perfect to me. Just changed the doc page a bit.

Sorry!!
I just wanted to apologise for the way I called you out like that on chat, I hope we can put this whole thing behind us. 02:23, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
