User talk:CocoaZen/archive3



Hi there,

I've left a message on your WikiMac page; please let me know your feelings on the questions.

Best, --DavidFeng 06:10, 9 Dec 2004 (PST)

Hi, CocoaZen. Whish I had more time to care for Wikicities. MattisManzel 01:58, 15 Dez 2004 (PST)

I like Creatures too, and will probably recommend it for the featured wiki next week. I just thought WikiMac should go first. I really appreciate the help I've received from both you and User:DavidFeng as I've started using wikis! I've learned a lot from you and from examples in the WikiMac and Creatures --CocoaZen 20:05, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)


 * Glad you like it! My personal feeling is that Creatures is more "complete" (due in part to its restricted scope), and therefore a better example for others wikis to follow in terms of building their community - especially in terms of attracting contributors, an area in which I think WikiMac has not been so successful. It'd also be nice to show the Creatures community that they have actually achieved something worthwhile - a lot of people (not me :-) are all "oh, the CC is dying, alack, alas . . .", and it's nice to have the occasional "first" to build up spirits.


 * I guess it depends on what the admins want. If they want to feature something that needs more users to reach its full potential, then they might well choose WikiMac (although I feel WikiMac's main audience will be from the outside via search engines and the like, not due to internal promotion). If they want to showcase a Wiki that has grown really quickly due to the contribution of many users, and which has (I think) reached a reasonably mature state in just 6 weeks, I think Creatures is a better bet. But then, I would think that. ;-)


 * Or they could decide to choose something completely different! *grin* We'll have to see how it goes . . . -- 21:58, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Thank You, give me a few days to upload the pics on the Stargate wiki --SGCommand

Thanks for the welcome, didn't think I'd be noticed ;) I think the logo for the Stargate wiki is a bit dodgy though. As are the images. Particularly in the copyright area. Alphax 23:30, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)

Hi you left a message on my user page. i looked up google.wikicities.com and nothing was there. can we put stuff there? or is it a restricted area?--Mrcrister 22:47, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)Mrcrister

Hi CocoaZen. Thanks for your welcome-message. Yes, I saw the page you mentioned and I have already had a new wiki created for me. I hope I find time to get it going shortly. Wiki is great! I have been a contributor to the Dutch Wikipedia for almost two years now and I must admit that it is very addictive. Have fun, Harm 16:59, 31 Mar 2005 (EST)

Sorry but I need helpSGCommand I've answered on your SGCommand User pageSGCommand

Stargate mailing list
Please join this list - you can go to the Stargate-l info page to do so. Thanks, Alphax 06:03, 12 Apr 2005 (EDT)

The Interwiki map indicates that DIY Culture: should work too, but it doesn't seem to be active.
 * That's a an error on the page. Interwikis will never work with a space in them. I'll remove it now. Angela 12:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Miqra interwikis are ok now. I think the problem was just missing colons. he.miqra won't work, but he.miqra: will. Angela (talk) 08:25, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Friscan page
Hi, CocoaZen. Thanks for your concern, but I've already made a request for a new Wikicity. Angela had some concerns as to whether it would more properly fit on an existing wiki, so I just started work on it in my username space while that was being discussed. But again, thanks, Djinn 03:55, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the repairs! I'm going to stop now, because I don't want to step on your fixes. --CocoaZen 16:51, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Thank you for letting us all know on IRC! -- 16:55, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Admin
Congratualtions! You are now an administrator on the Central Wikicity. Angela (talk) 08:55, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thank you for the comment. Ted Ted 16:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And I thank you as well. I've been here for a couple of weeks, getting PokerWiki set up, but only just thought to set up my user page. -- PhilipR 21:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And welcome to yourself. Such a pleasant habit you're forming. I'll bet it serves you well over time. Best wishes. -:)Ozzyslovechild 00:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for reverting all that vandalism. I've changed the block on "admin" to infinite. Angela (talk) 02:55, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Admin guide
Hi. I just saw your other question on IRC. Help:Administrators' how-to guide might be an easier page to read than the ones you were pointed to on Meta. Angela (talk) 02:29, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Cities
Hi,

I've been seeing your stuff on Cities. It looks good and it's certainly more apparent than any of the stuff that I've done there. Hope you don't mind if I nominate you as an Admin there. I've only been checking in about 3-4 times a week to see how things are going there, since I got projects developing elsewhere. Hope you don't mind the Infobox that I stuck in Charlotte either. Though I am thinking of making it a bit thinner before putting one on the Huntsville page.--Kirk 03:44, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Kia ora from Porirua. You may notice I spent a bit of yesterday poking around with categories etc. Keep up the good work! Robin Patterson 20:22, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[moved the following down from top of page]

I'd love to merge the Tucson Wiki into your Cities site. How do we do this? --Kimbayne 8:41 PM, 17 September 2005 (MST)


 * I'm no expert, but it could be done largely just by copying the pages. I've created a cities:Tucson stub in case it's any help.


 * Robin Patterson 05:57, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Now it's official - User_talk:Angela - that we should copy and paste. Prefixing the "Tucson:" could be done as part of a bulk move near the end of the process, maybe, prefixing links in the same way whenever we notice them?

Have you contacted the other recent contributor/s?

(If I get enthusiastic and do some of it before you reply, you'll have to forgive me. Old age.)

Robin Patterson 23:54, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think I've put a message on every Tucson: contributor's Talk page about the move. It will be pretty obvious to anyone who looks at the Recentchanges. I think we could ask the chiefs to freeze it now, as long as that leaves it all copiable.

With a bit of listing and head-scratching from me and lots of really useful copying (including images, which I can't do properly) and categorising from you, we are doing well. Thanks, pal! Robin Patterson 03:28, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Spam Blacklist
Hello, I've never used the Spam Blacklist before and I have just added some domains from here. Is it possible to you to verify that I'm not doing something wrong? Thanks :) --DCLXVI 17:06, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Heya, about that "Vote"...

 * I did place a vote a few months ago, I wasn't sure if this counted as a second one. As Angela said at the time, it wasn't very big at the time, and the additions were supposed to reflect how it had changed. TwoTailedFox 16:55, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll stop by the new vote page more often ;)

Hi
Hi CocoaZen, thanks for the welcome :)--Yossarian 23:08, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks for the welcome CocoaZen - it always helps to hear a friendly voice when you've just walked into a room. I'll be looking foward to getting to know your work and please feel free to visit the Meta Collab Wikicity in the next few weeks and give me your impressions. cheers! Mark Elliott 00:47, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * Saw your contributions to Technology & Stub - i think you're officailly the first, thank you very much! Also, wondering if you might know why the bullet dots on the top table on the Main Page are rendering outside of the border?? cheers,Mark Elliott 00:24, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your efforts - it's strange cause the bullets were working an an installation of mediawiki i had running on a different server while i set it up. have to snoop around a bit. Mark Elliott 05:53, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Wow.
If Wikicities had 'barnstars', I'd give you one for going through all that history and confirming all the votes. O_O Wow! Almafeta 15:21, 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Featured Wikicity/Uncyclopedia
Hello. I started the Uncyclopedia front-page excerpt on the above page. I tried to be humorous while still giving the basics of the site. If you'd rather a more objective description, please tell me (especially with regard to the MA dig, which is really just a good-natured ribbing, but I can understand if you/Wikicities would want it removed). Thanks! --Rcmurphy 18:03, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Re: Blurb I did it this way because then the text on Wikicites page can use the same text as Featured Wikicity/Uncyclopedia rather than needing to manualy copy and paste the text into the main page with obviouse advantages for maintainability. --Uncyclopedia:User:Elvis 14:56, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

WoT icon
Thanks for the compliment! You'll probably like our new one even better, and if you're any sort of a graphics guru, I'd appreciate your input at w:c:wot:Wotwiki:Cascading_Style_Sheet. nae'blis (talk) 16:07, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the warm welcome, CocoaZen. I just got married this July to a lady in China (I'm here in Beijing now) whose English name is Coco, and it seems you also speak Chinese? (still learning--ugh). Anyhow, I have a ton of suggestions and ideas (at least new Wikicities if they don't exist already) and look forward to contributing, as I may. I was SO excited to see the existence of Wikicities. Though I've used Wikipedia quite a bit, I didn't know what this was till just now. Thanks! Brettz9 04:33, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

In regard to your question about what interests me here, you have inspired me to add my on-going list of ideas to my user page. Though as you can see there are many different ideas there, I've detailed one idea I particularly would like to pursue through some means here at Wikicity, namely the Chat cafe. Best wishes, Brettz9 21:24, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)

User:82.43.160.203
This user has made their four edit to Wikicities, which just so happens to be their fourth act of vandalism to the main page. Perhaps a stronger block is called for, as you had promised them a few vandalisms ago? -- user:zanimum
