User talk:Jack Phoenix/Archive 1

 Feel free to leave me a message. Archived talk: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

The page needs to be in the template namespace for it to be used across wikis. If you put something at Template:User:Jack Phoenix, you will be able to use that by typing on another Wikia site. However, it's quite a buggy feature, so don't rely on it too much since it could easily break in future. For example, it's meant to be wikia now, but only the old wikicities version works, and sometimes edits you make to the template won't show up for a long time due to a caching problem.

Do you, by any chance, know anything about the Inheritance trilogy? A Finnish one was started, but the founder seems to have abandoned it. :( If you do know something, it would be great if you're willing to help revive/adopt it. If not, then that's okay too. I'm sure someone will eventually come across the wiki. G .He (Talk!) 16:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've answered your questions on my talk page now. --rieke 01:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

featured article
Thanks for the help with setting up a featured article. One more quick question if you have the time. I have a page with quite a long list of links. w:c:physics:UVa_Physics_Qualifying_Exam I'd like to put this list into two columns. Not sure how to do this. --Kjh4p 03:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC) BTW, (at the risk of sounding very incompetent) why do some usernames show up as Username (talk) or Username (contact)? Are you using the 4X~ method of signing or something else?w:c:physics:User_talk:Kjh4p

On SWgaming wiki they deleted the page. How do I delete or erase it? THanks, Quinlanfan 20:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

War Wikia
Hi. Thank you so much for your invitation to contribute to the War Wikia again! I stopped posting there because the previous administrator was doing some very strange things - like calling himself the "President" of the Wiki and acting more like a dictator. That, and he almost immediately got into "wars" with other users, putting new articles up for deletion and trying to set up a "supreme court" to arbitrate non-existent controversies. I left after that. I checked in the other day and noticed it looked a lot better, and will be happy to stop by again and see if I can help. Thanks, - Nhprman 03:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Granting Roll back rights
I noticed that the upgrade added a new feature, (At least I haven't seen it yet), Special:Giverollback. Yet when I try and give a user rollback rights it says them can't find them. I've tried Adding "User:" infront of their name. Any suggestions? -- Esemono 15:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Gearspedia Hello template
There are actually two different templates for hello in Gearspedia, Template:Hello and Template:Welcome. Should I modify the second template to discourage new members of Gearspedia to apply for adminship?

Preferences panel issue on MA-en
Hello,thank you for your last help! Now, Im afraid that I need you once again (Bravo for your admin nomination, BTW! ;-). So, could you please help with this issue? At least, if you could give me some pointers. Thx a lot in advance! --StarTrekMan( Talk &#x007c; Contribs ) 19:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Deleting talk pages
Could you please tell me why have you deleted these talk pages? Have you consult anybody about this? Have you seen on Central any mass deletion of talk pages earlier? Szoferka 02:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Additionaly, why have you deleted the following pages: Special:Undelete/Talk:Peanuts, Special:Undelete/Talk:Miles_Davis, Special:Undelete/Talk:Homestar_Runner_Wooky, Special:Undelete/Talk:Cheat_sheet, Special:Undelete/Talk:Barbatie (which you can't probably understand), Special:Undelete/Talk:Biographies, Special:Undelete/Talk:Bionic, Special:Undelete/Talk:Restaurant, Special:Undelete/Talk:Scotland?
 * Please know that I will vote strong oppose your request if I could know what will you do after becoming a sysop here. Please consider requesting a removal of your sysops power of Central becouse of that. Szoferka 02:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I was being bold on those deletions, as in my opinion, those pages did not provide much (or any) info at all. For example, Talk:Restaurant contained one unsigned comment that said ""Restaurant" is spelled wrong here...". I aplologise if I have done something wrong. But for the most part, there were lots of orphaned talk pages. I.e someone had accidentally created a page about his/her city on Central, and it got deleted, but the talk page was orphaned.


 * As said, I'm very sorry if I deleted useful pages. But for the most part, they were orphaned talk pages. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Being bold on deleting is the lamest explanation I've heard this year. Being bold becouse you've get sysop rights is the second lamest. You've deleted a buch of Central Wikia history without any recognition if it's needed or not. I hope globalsysops will never be created if you going to become one. Have a nice day. Szoferka 10:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't though that orphaned talk pages were needed. But anyway, cheers and have a nice day too. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Jack Phoenix,

So...there's another dude that h8 me @ Halopedia: Forerunner.

Check this out:

Another piece of hostility towards me. He thinks I make overt and "weak attempts to make friends" because I have a "lite supply", as per other quotes.

 * Hey, as the old saying goes, "you can't like everybody and everybody can't like you". Everyone is allowed to say their opinion, as long as it's not a personal attack. It would be nice to have some evidence on things like these, though. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

abandoned wikia
I noticed you left a message for Angela about an abandoned wikia. If abandoned Wikia is/are something you are interested in, you might find list.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Wikias_by_User_Zephyrinus to be of interest. Under the "Work to Do" entry, you will find a list of all the Wikias which I found to be abandoned.

I have since become far, far too busy to maintain this list. Feel free to take it over if you wish. I can be reached on the Genealogy Wikia, or just leave a message here - I'll include your talk page on my watch list.

Best wishes.

Respectfully,

Thanks for the welcome Jack
Hi Jack,

Thanks for the welcome in my talk page. I've actually made a proposal for a new Wikia (about Spelljammer) so followed your link for proposed Wikia's.

To be honest the entire section is a bit confusing. The "Proposed wikis category" says "don't use this category - its out of date" and the "Proposed wikis page" says "use the forums".

I've looked on all of the pages and can't see my own proposal (which I made by using the Start a new Wikia page.

I'm new here, so don't know which of the methods I should be using (or if the form on the "Start a new Wikia" page ate my data). What is the best way for me to do this?

(I think that someone who knows about this should put some text on the other pages that tells people to do things the best way. If forums are best then that should probably go on the "Start a new Wikia" page instead of the form.) David Shepheard 12:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

You Know me right?
Do you remember me from places like Halopedia and House? If not, ohh well. Anyways, i wanted to contact you about giving me admin access to the (en) Half-Life wikia. It's currently dead, 11 articles, no sysops, almost no editors. I saw it today and i would like to fix it up. I'm sure i could get people like RR to help me. I already know how to be an admin, as I'm an admin of the Halo Fanon Wikia. I'm a great member and editor of Halopedia, just ask anyone there, I'm even their Halopedian of the Month. Within two months of my joining of Halopedia, i have almost 3000 edits. I've played the Half-Life games, i know there's a big following for the game, the people just don't know about the Half-Life wikia. So, can you help me out?

Template
thx for your help here. I have made my tamplate based on yours as i have no expereince in making templates, so as a starting point i copied yours and altered it to make it my template. I hope you don't mind, and when i get more expeirence in making templates i hope to edit myn more so it's just my template and not an altered copy of someone elses. again thx for your help and i hope you don't mind.--Ima Wiz 14:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

RR
He has time to campaign on Halopedia, write a new RP/Story thingy, and play XBL for hours everyday. But he can't take a few minutes to edit the MediaWiki, or even tell me how to. C'mon. He's completely ignoring the Half-Life Wiki. In the past several days he hasn't even gotten 40 edits, he made one change to the sidebar and that's pretty much it. RR is my friend in real life, but i don't think he's even trying with the Half-Life Wiki. He has all this time to talk on the IRCs and write RPs, but can't tell me how to edit MediaWiki.

Adding Half-Life
Could the staff add the Half-Life Wiki to the current list of wikis(in the sci-fi section) on the main page? We could use some new members, and i thought that bring some more people in. Do you think you could do it? I could really use new members there, with the past few days (Apl 11-Apl 13), i've gotten 510+ edits. I've created almost every single page on the Wiki. I really need to get members, and i think this might help.
 * -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 01:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Theoretically I could, but that's the Wikia spotlight. You will have to ask a staffer if it's possible to add Half-Life Wiki to the main page spotlight. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 06:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Here are a few tips for you when interviewing:
 * Know the questions you're going to ask beforehand - use your working area to prepare some questions. You can add the answers later.
 * Make up some questions - You don't have to always stick to the questions you have planned to ask. If something the interviewee says inspires you to ask a question, feel free to ask it.  Even if the question sounds bad, you can always change the question around in the editing process (as long as the answer still matches the question).  If you suddenly come up with a question, you can use it.
 * Don't make the questions too complicated - interviewees can sometimes get confused by complicated questions. Make them short and simple.

I hope you do well in the interview and that these tips will help you. All the best. -- 21:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
