User talk:Scottch

Welcome! Feel free to leave me a message about Wikia, or just say hello. *I usually reply here (watch) but I may reply at your talk page. Let me know if you have a preference.*Don't know how to generate a signature? Just type four tildaes ( ~ ) at the end of your comment to automatically generate a signature and timestamp.*Since new messages notifications are currently acting up. I'm most active at the, so if you want to get ahold of me, you should try contacting me there (new message).

Thanks for your help in finding pages to delete. Welcome to Wikia. :) Angela talk 00:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, no problem. I figure as long as I'm soaking up server power, I might as well do something useful for Central, and Newpages patrol is all I can do :-)  Scottch 10:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Inactive Wikia
That "IB" is definitely inactive - no positive contribution in at least the last 8 months. Good call. Robin Patterson 21:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I wasn't sure if just plain ol' users could mark stuff like that. It's a shame, IB is a subject that could definitely use a good wiki.  Scottch 22:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Category listings
Noticed your vigilance on the "home" front. If you're still looking for good ways to soak up server power, please see http://wikia.com/index.php?title=Categories&diff=67756&oldid=66625 and check more of those groups! Robin Patterson 22:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Signature
You could probably use an interwiki link in your signature to redirect it to your page on a specific wiki. G .He (Talk!) 21:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I was more worried about the formatting of the signature than the link. I had a teal and orange one on my other wiki.  I'll probably just copy it to a sig subpage here or something.  Scottch 21:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Forum
Your comment at Forum:Rewarding active users was still useful, even if the discussion is quite old. Feel free to put it back if you like. :) Angela talk 18:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh, thanks, but it's kind of out of place with the time signature and all... maybe if the discussion ever comes up again, I'll chime in. Scott ch 19:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reminding me of that, though I did get a chuckle from a few of the edits. Jack Shauner was doing a lot of major vandalism before he requested to be admin, and I knew his intentions were only malicious. Plus, he was with the group that was committing much of the vandalism.
 * No problem, sorry that website is giving you trouble :( Scott ch 06:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the formatting help. I hope the wiki request goes through too. :) FngKestrel 23:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Ericwan
Hi GreenReaper, I noticed you rolled back a bunch of those links to Gameinfo that Ericwan added to wiki descriptions. Did you know that Angela told him that was a good idea? If you were in on some conversation I missed, then sorry for my nitpicking :-) Scott ch 09:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I did, and I disagree. I am in the progress of replying on the same talk page. --GreenReaper(talk) 09:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, well I have no opinion on it, I just thought you would like to know, but obviously you already do. Cheers, Scott ch 09:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikia screenshots
Actually, I think that pictures are Wikia screenshots only if they have the official logo of Wikia. Editcount and other extensions can be installed onto any wiki running MediaWiki software and thus, the screenshots for those would be the license of the uploader, or at least some shots about CheckUser extension are in the public domain...please, do correct me if I'm assuming wrong. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I think you're right, that would make since, since the software etc. is free use. I'll revert, thanks for letting me know!  Scott ch 15:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

About sandbox resetting
I've noticed that you've made an edit in the sandbox (diff) to test out my sandbox reset tool. However, Leonbot only runs when my computer is on (and not all the time at that). Hopefully, someone will volunteer to run the bot 24/7 and it will reset every 30 minutes. If you want to ask any more questions, just leave a message on my user talk page. --Leon:2323 | SMARTSIG : Apply now 18:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

blocking
it won't let me look at the page. I am an admin on kotor. How do i get the acsess? Quinlanfan 02:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks! will it only work if im signed in? if i post it on my user page so i can click on it how do i make sure that other non admin users cant acsess it?Quinlanfan 02:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks a lot! Quinlanfan 15:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, good luck on the KOTOR wiki. Scott <font color=#ff9900>ch 15:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

one more thing, on wookieepedia someone keeps changing things around on my talk archives. how do i set it so no one except me can put things on there? thanks,Quinlanfan 15:14, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't, anyone can edit any page on wikis, but you can ask an admin to protect them. <font color=#00cccc>Scott <font color=#ff9900>ch 18:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

An admin is doing the vandalism. I dont know why but for some reason he hates me. He blocked me one time for trying to help him. I dont know what his deal is. Quinlanfan 20:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
Can you give me a link to delete a page on KOTOR? Thanks, Quinlanfan 16:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There should be "delete" and "protect" buttons on the tops of every page, level with the "edit" button. <font color=#00cccc>Scott <font color=#ff9900>ch 00:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Introduction
Dear Madam or Sir: (I should really look at your home page before writing. :-) ).

I've run across your name several places. After seeing it on the discussion page of the "starter" wikia -- let's see, what is it: wikia.com/wiki/starter -- I decided to check out your discussion page. It seems you've been around with a mop and broom. I've been bothering, mainly Angela, with my deletion requests and vandalism complaints and I'd like to avoid taking up Angela's time with these minor requests; especially with the 1.9 update, she and the rest of the Community Team have their hands full I'm sure. Can I bother you instead?

My work at the moment is centred around: list.wikia.com/wiki/List of Wikias by User Zephyrinus - and the "work to do" under "W" - it's only a beta - that's my excuse.

Oh, and did you hear a reply to your query on the starter wikia discussion page. I was thinking about approaching "Jim" (I don't know his/her name off hand) about making a "help" wikia wherein bits of helpful code could be stored for those who construct wikia pages. Maybe you were doing something similar with your copyright notices on the "??" page of the starter wikia.

Respectfully,

Zephyrinus 19:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Another "i" template candidate
I've welcomed Bollock but referred to your "i" and added another myself. Robin Patterson 03:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, but even if you told him to refer to the one, perhaps should they all be tagged anyway? Otherwise the sysops (I don't know if you're one or not) may miss them in the cleanup in a week.   Scott  ch  03:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like Szoferka got them all anyway, guess my internet cut out at a good time :-)  Scott  ch  03:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Lookupcontrib request
Szoferka brought that user already to staff's attention, but if you need a lookupcontribs done quickly in the future, come to #wikia IRC channel, I'm too often there anyway (unless I'm away for some reason, which isn't that often). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I have trouble connecting to IRC at home for some reason... anyway, glad someone brought it up, he's created a lot of off-topic and hoaxish articles at the Lion King wiki.  Scott  ch  16:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Test (doppleganger)
Testing cross-wiki new messages to see if it still happens. ScottchS 23:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't. :(   Scott  ch  23:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
