Thank you
For the ban on Nonciclopedia. Can you answer to this question please? --  Puzza87     (  Cazzo vuoi? )  18:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. I've answered to the question at w:c:nonciclopedia:Discussioni utente:Puzza87. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks But..
Yeah thank I dident know.And I aplied for my own digi wiki but it did not get made and i requeated for it Last friday RedVeemonPS Could you get me one made?


 * As Dantman explained on your talk page, Wikia will not create a copy of an existing wiki, in this case, the Digimon Wikia. Please have a look at Wikia creation policy. But if you want, you can participate in Digimon Wikia - I'm sure the community is glad to have another member to join in. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you very much for your help--Fulmin (cerchi botte?) 15:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Only one day ban for The Smoke? It made a mess. &#123;&#123;subst:nosubst&#124;User:Tom mayfair/sig}} 21:08, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm just a Wikia janitor, not a local admin (yet at least) so I let you guys to make the final decision - that block was merely an emergency block. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks :)

 * Thanks - I'm sure you'll do great job as a Central admin. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

*Tips hat*
Just a quick thanks for some spam deletion over at the Forgotten Realms Wiki :-) Zerak talk 20:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, it's what I do here. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm rather curious why you make your userpage in every random wiki. I mean I can't really see a point in it other than trying to get your name more visible on the internet, so erm... why do you do it? —This unsigned comment is by Zaku I (talk • contribs).


 * Hi, please remember to sign your posts with four tildes ( ~ ), this makes life easier for both of us as I know whom to address the reply to. :)


 * As for the question, I am a Wikia janitor, which means I'm going to pop up in a lot of different Wikia wikis hunting for spammers and vandals. Having a userpage and a talkpage redirect makes it easier for everyone to know who I am, how to contact me and why I could, for example delete pages or ban users. Especially new administrators might be confused with how some user who doesn't show up on the wiki's Special:Listusers/sysop - admin list - could delete a page or two. Besides, it's not against Wikia's policies to do so. Some Wikia Staff members have a userpage on almost every wiki, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Capitals
Dear Jack, You are wasting your time for no benefit to anybody by changing these links: http://starter.wikia.com/index.php?title=Help:Administrators%27_how-to_guide&diff=0&oldid=2659

Not one of those changes will make any difference except in the edit box, I believe. It's possible I did some of them. When I have to type, I don't capitalise except where it makes a difference. On the other hand, when I can paste, I do, and that may produce a capital. But the software capitalises all for display purposes.

Most of what I see you do is very good and helpful - keep it up!

 * Hi Robin, thanks for your message.


 * I do kinda agree, they're minor cosmetic changes, but if a new user sees and  on some help page, they might get confused with the formatting, and I've been told that MediaWiki isn't *that* newbie-friendly. And I find it kinda funny too that a page uses both, so I decided to fix it while I'm at it. ;-)


 * Thank you for the compliments. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Bruna Manzon
No, I want to write in portuguese. Actually, I've started this one: http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/Bruna_Manzon. Lord Insipidus 01:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * You could request a Portuguese Beauty Wikia, like pt.beauty - so go make request for it. The page you've created seems to be actual content and it clearly states the following on the editing screen:


 * Please do not use the requests wiki to create content. This wiki is only for making wiki requests. If you currently wish to make a request, please use the wiki request form. If you have made a request and want to create content before your request is reviewed, please create a temporary wiki at Scratchpad Wiki Labs.


 * If you decide to request a new wiki, I wish the best of luck for you - starting a new wiki can be tough, but rewarding too. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Problem in Arabic uncyclopedia
Hi Jack sorry to bother you, we made a change in the system messages, and to bee more specific we changed the skin of the site ,Not from the monobook but from the special pages using that new feature called customize the wiki and we don’t know how to go back to the original one, We made a big mess and we don’t know how to fix it. we need urgent help, ThanksClassic 971 16:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe sannse and the techs fixed this; CustomizeWiki seems to be a bit of beta-feature at the moment. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki redirects
Considering interwiki redirect doesn't actually work, and you seem to be just copy-pasting the stuff on your user page and talk page on other wikis anyways, it probably be much friendly if you invest in some time to type up something with a link, instead of just having a redirect that doesn't automatically redirect. This is regarding w:c:alicesoft:user_talk:Jack Phoenix. -Afker 06:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Quite honestly, I fail to see the 'problem' with interwiki redirects. They work exactly as they should; they redirect the user to this page - even though not automatically - which is where all messages to me should be left. I want to keep things tidy across 4000+ wikis; having a real talkpage on every single wiki would be just painful and it'd be too hard to keep track of issues, bugs and such things.


 * Besides, automatic interwiki redirects would be horrible, even inside *.wikia.com sites. My userpage template quite clearly explains who I am and where to contact me. I'm quite positive that most people check userpages before talkpages. ;-)

Help!
My wikia request. Shouldn't it be created?? :S Thnx Alexandru 10:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * From a quick look, that request looks pretty promising to me. Unfortunately, there's nothing much that I can do - I suggest you leave a message to a member of Wikia's Community Team, they are the people that usually close requests. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hitman Wiki
Hello Jack, I’m relatively new to Wikia and I just stumbled upon the Hitman Wiki. I noticed you were the only blue account on the wiki, so I hope you don’t mind me asking for some guidance. The Main Page was started by an anon, and both the sysop and bureaucrat user lists are empty, so I couldn’t find a better person to go to! I’m wondering, why are the two user lists empty, and what does it take to become a sysop or bureaucrat? If there’s a situation that requires an admin’s attention (e.g. persistent vandalism), who can I go to for help? —Shidou 03:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * User rights log on Hitman Wiki shows that the initial founder who had bureaucrat & admin access was desysopped for some reason. If you'd like to become an admin on a wiki, you could adopt it or if there's a bit of community in the wiki, create a page like Project:Requests for adminship, put your request there and after some time, show it to a member of Wikia's Community Team who will then grant administrator access to you.


 * In general, if a wiki with no (active) admins has problems with, for example, vandalism, it's better to ask help from a member of the Community Team or then from a janitor, such as myself. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for your help! —Shidou 19:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Jack, I noticed that you made a stop at the CSI wiki and I'm not sure exactly what you deleted but I am sure it was some helpful clean up type thing. It seems like you can answer my question or direct me to someone who can as I am still not clear after reading wiki policy (or maybe I am just overly cautious). When putting an image such as a screen cap on wiki am I allowed to do so as long as the source is credited. The image is obviously copyrighted especially comming from a tv show. I just don't want to break any rules. Thanks Proudofthefish 17:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I just deleted one spam page created by a spambot, nothing bigger. From what I know, it is ok to upload screenshots as long as you tag them appropriately. For example, you could copy w:c:swmerchandise:Template:Fairuse (or another Fair use template) to CSI Wikia and tag the screenshot images with . And of course, mentioning the source is always a good idea. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * That makes sense. Thanks for the help. Proudofthefish 18:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, I'm happy to help. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Dark709 Wiki
I have made a significant amount of changes to the Dark709 Wiki for approximately one week, and I stated editing it when it became inactive. Would you please (if you're not too busy) A. Check the credibility of my first statement and B. See if I can adopt the wiki and gain administrative access to it, because there are some pages so perfect that they are better off left locked. —This unsigned comment is by Toa of Mirrors (talk • contribs).


 * I trust you, as I do to all other Wikians. :) I checked the wiki's recent changes and it looks good to me. I see no reason why you couldn't adopt it. Go ahead and ask a member of the Community Team for administrator access. But please read Wikia's protection policy and Help:Main Page first. Pages shouldn't be protected unless they're a target of repeated vandalism. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Help for deleting images
Can you please check this? Thanks. And about the Checker-16x16.png, thanks, I couldn't find it out. At least yesterday the monobook/main.css didn't point to that file, and it was missing. Then you can delete it if you want --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 08:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting that, I've deleted the junk and banned the vandal.


 * The problem with Checker-16x16.png and main.css is a bit complicated one. By default, the image can be found under /skins/common/images/, but main.css expects it to be located under /skins/monobook/. For the time being, you'll have to use the URL http://images.wikia.com/common/skins-1.12/common/images/Checker-16x16.png or ask a Community Team / Technical Team member to copy Checker-16x16.png from /skins/common/images/ to /skins/monobook/. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I found that the same image exists under [/skins/common/images/Checker-16x16.png /skins/common/images/Checker-16x16.png] in all wikias, so placing it in a css would be safer than a URI with a skin version, that could change eventually. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 17:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Apparently I didn't search hard enough. ;-) Good to know it's there. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey
Look, I was banned for "Vandalism" on the E-Wrestling Wikia. Ms Brittany is my friend, and I was trying to Re-Construct her Wikia Pedia. Is their anyway I could get Un-Banned as I play Alexis Rose and I really need to Update her Wikia. —This unsigned comment is by Meme2k8 (talk • contribs).


 * Well, the ban is only for two weeks. Besides, replacing page content with "dot." or "mememe" seems like vandalism to most wiki administrators. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I was seeing if it worked. I didn't understand on how when I changed something, it automatically changed back. Maybe it was because we were using my computer. Is their anyway the ban can shorten? My Wiki means allot to my E-Wrestling Character and I really need to update it. =) Please. —This unsigned comment is by Meme2k8 (talk • contribs).


 * Fine. I have unbanned you from ewrestling.wikia. In the future, please make editing tests and such on pages like Project:Sandbox. Pages like that exist on most Wikia and they are meant for editing tests. Happy editing. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:15, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Heya! I just wanna say thanks for unblocking me. Yeah, I wont mess up again this time. Thanks Again! =D
