User:(Vaffanculo)
Could you please block User:(Vaffanculo) and delete the userpage? It's an inappropriate username and a vandal that also struck Inheriwiki. G .He (Talk!) 00:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, it's already been taken care of. G .He (Talk!) 00:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm kinda in-and-out at the moment, getting things set for tomorrow. Glad to hear it's already handled! Essjay ( Talk )  00:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Moving me from servi, ld to User: lds
Yes, you were right to move me (although you did it in minutes -- was it by you personally or a computer program). However, it was annoying as I lost around 20 minutes of editing work.


 * Sorry to hear you lost work; if you haven't closed the window yet, you may be able to recover it with the back button and paste it into the page's new location. I wanted to make sure I moved it as quickly as possible so that you wouldn't feel unwelcome if it was put up for deletion; nothing is as off-putting as to go to the trouble of creating something and have it get deleted on you. As for how it was moved, there is a tab at the top of the page (if you're very new, you may not have it yet, it appears after a couple of days) that says "move"; you click it, put in the new page name, and it moves everything for you.


 * If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. (Oh, and you should sign your posts on discussion pages (any that say "talk" before the ":") by typing <tt> ~ </tt>, which the software will automatically turn into a signature with your username and the time/date stamp. <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  04:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, and thanks for the kind response. Please explain one more thing. After you moved me, I searched for "user:lds" and received the reply: "Nothing found. What did you expect". How was that done? Now when I search I get my page so this was clearly a temporary action. 24.91.110.132 04:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * There may have been a delay in the indexing; I'm not sure how long it takes after page creation for it to be included in the search listings. It may simply have been that the process that adds pages to the search index ran between the time you searched the first time and the second time (or, it was running at that time, and finished before your second search). <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  04:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Adminship.
Essjay, can I ask another question, (again, good job on the template) I want to be an admin here, how do I go about nominating myself? 23:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Add your self-nomination to Community Central:Admins and mods. G .<font color="#666666">He <font color="midnightblue">(Talk!) 04:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply
Thanks for the E-mail reply, okay, I guess adding the info to Wookieepedia is a good idea. Though I already knew it was there, adding to it would be a better idea. Brain40  [ talk  ]  [  my domain  ]


 * You're welcome. Hopefully, the resources available there will be of benefit. <tt>:)</tt> <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  16:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Adobe Wiki
Thanks for making this!!! It's taken a while to even reach wiki stage and I'm glad. <font color="darkred" face="Chalkboard">Wikada - <font color="darkred" face="Chalkboard">Talk <font color="darkred" face="Chalkboard">Contributions 14:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Help
Essjay, I need help with a MediaWiki page on the KOTOR Wikia, could you paste the info on w:c:kotor:MediaWiki talk:Common.css to w:c:kotor:MediaWiki:Common.css?


 * Sure, I'll do so tomorrow (when I'll be around longer to help in case anything breaks, I'm just popping in for a moment right now). <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  01:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks.

Done! If there are any problems, let me know! <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  02:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

GPL Images?
Essjay, I know it's slightly off topic. But I've searched over and over, many times in my life but I've never found a good source of graphics like the ones you've uploaded for your 'useful links', much less a resource with public domain or imges under GPL. Where do you get your images? I've finaly decided to fix up the plain style of my userpage and do some things to change the way I see things myself when logged in on wikia after all this time here. Dantman (Talk) 20:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, I found those at Wikimedia Commons, where there are categories full of various icon themes (see Category:Icons). I've also found some good GPL icons on www.kde-look.org. <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  01:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. Dantman (Talk) 07:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for New Wiki
Hi, Brian40 told me to ask you this. I was wondering if I could create a Star Wars Shadows of the Empire wiki. It is a project from Star Wars. It has a novel, Graphic Novel, Graphic novel Sequal, a soundtrack, and a video game. I own all of the above except for the soundtrack. I have read all the books and comic books, and have beaten the game 2 times. Please let me know what you think, Thanks, Quinlanfan 20:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * All wiki requests need to go through the process at w:c:requests:Request_Wiki:Request_a_Wikia. Once everything is in order there, we'll be happy to take care of it. <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  02:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I made a request. What do I do now? How long will it take? Thanks, Quinlanfan 04:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * This is a new system for making requests (before, it was usually one person immediately making a decision, but now we are involving the community). Most likely, very highly supported Wikia can be created within hours (or even less, if the original pitch is persuasive enough that the Wikia could be successful, will be edited, and is different than any existing Wikia). Some are rejectable immediately, (for example ones that go against the Wikia Terms of Service, or ones that duplicate existing Wikia). For the others, it could be days or longer until the community influences the decision of the Comteam. Probably any Wikia that don't get a lot of supportive comments (or answers from the requestor for more info, or that the comteam just doesn't happen to want to create) after a few weeks will be 'rejected' (we have yet to decide a policy on this).
 * What you should do is monitor the request page and answer any comments anyone might have on it, as well as giving more information about it (who will edit it, what scope it will have, what you forsee as the type of content it will have, etc) if you can think of any more. --Splarka (talk) 05:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright, I found out that one person supports me. How long will it take for yall to decide? Quinlanfan 18:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I now have 3 people who support the idea. How long does this kind of thing take? How long do you think this one will take? If it goes through, I will be the founder, right? since I thought of it. Quinlanfan 04:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

As Splarka said above, it's a new system, so there aren't hard and fast rules. We like to give sufficient time for everyone who is interested to comment. My advice would be to wait patiently until the commenting is finished. <font color="#7b68ee">Essjay <font color="#7b68ee">( Talk )  12:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Even though I requested it, am I allowed to put a support thing on there? Quinlanfan 17:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

SWGAMING WIKI
SOMEONE DELETED MY REQUEST!!! IT HAD A TON OF VOTES!!! THEY SAID THAT IT ALREADY EXISTED!!! I DID NOT EVEN FINISH THE DESCRIPTION!!! THE ONE THAT "EXISTS" DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO GAMES!!!! PLEASE PUT THE PAGE BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quinlanfan 21:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * First of all, calm down. Secondly, from what I remember when w:c:swgames was made, it was agreed that that wiki will be open to all Star Wars games, and if a certain game/section becomes big enough for its own wiki, a individual wiki can be arranged. However, the wiki is currently very inactive and has little content, so the request can go there instead of another wiki.
