Cloak
Hi. I will get a cloak for you as soon as someone from freenode is online, but I've been having problems finding any of them for the past week. Angela (talk) 14:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks. ;-) TulipVorlax 18:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm just clearing out some old messages on my talk page. Did you ever get this cloak? Let me know if not. Angela (talk) 03:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Not the last time i was on the IRC but, i'll go check this right away. — TulipVorlax 04:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Checked. It seems i have not. I mean, doing a WHOIS on myself show my IP and ISP... I'll report this on your talk too... — TulipVorlax 04:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. You now have a cloak. Sorry for the delay. Angela (talk) 05:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Adoption tagging
Hey Tulip, just a word of advice, when you are tagging wiki's for adoption, please keep in mind to add the adoption tag to the Mainpage of the wiki (unless its protected) and to also notify the founder or another active bureaucrat of the wiki about why the wiki they founded or ran, was tagged for adoption, and if the wiki doesn't have a logo, please add the category (Category:No Logo) to its main page on Central so that our team of logo makers can create one for their wiki, Thanks..-- Cometstyles 05:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Did a founder complained ?
 * I made a misstake off tagging a recently created once but i've put it back to "normal"... There's too much to check at times...
 * No template for the category? No big deal anyway, just a third thing to copy paste. At first i did not used subst on the wikis main page...
 * Don't fear, i'll redo the entire french category when my first "tour" will be over.
 * If a founder complain, send them to me, and i'll explain and apologize...
 * But, most of them dont even have a single contribution of anybody since they have been created like 6 months ago. In fact, when putting i actually created a lot of main pages...
 * Ok, i'll see what i can do... I mean, contact the founder ? Saying "Hey! I'm putting your negligated wiki for on adoption." or "Hey? Are you still around?" and waiting a response in that last case ???
 * hehe, No, No one complained, its just the proper format to follow when tagging wiki's for adoption since most of the time most Bureaucrats/Founders dont even know that their wiki's is up for adoption and if a message was left on their talk page regarding their founded wiki, they will be able to fix the problem or try to find a method of reviving the wiki.-- Cometstyles 05:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Can we say that a wiki created in the first months of 2007 (or even before) that as less than 6 pages is an abadonned wiki ?
 * There is many french wikis that have very little good content. There's even one where there's a link on the main page that say "the site has move elsewhere".
 * To me, it's just people asking for wiki, editing a bit (or not) and then, dont even caring about them.
 * But, yes, while writing those few lines, i've come to understand that they might not been watching their main page, so if i want them to receive a notification email, i'm better off on their individual talk. Unless their prefs say to the wiki to not send any but in that case, we couldn't do much. TulipVorlax 05:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Good ! Found a better way to see if the wiki is really abadonned or not. Using the contribs page of the founder on "his" wiki.
 * And i've composed a message :
 * Salut,
 * Je suis présentement à faire le tour des wikis français afin de mettre les inactifs en adoption. Votre wiki recevra donc une boîte sur la page d'Accueil à cet égard.
 * Si vous souhaitez réanimer votre wiki, cela est toujours possible. Si vous souhaitez me dire deux mots à ce sujet ou non, c'est possible via ma propre page de discussion ici ou sur le Wikia central.
 * Bien à vous.
 * TulipVorlax 06:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Excellent, e-mailing is a great idea too and the message to be left on talk pages, sound good..-- Cometstyles 06:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I just made this list to retreive founders to be warned... TulipVorlax 06:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, i had to revise the DPL manual 'cause didn't remember how to do an "AND". TulipVorlax 07:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Contribution à mon Wiki
Coucou TulipVorlax,

J'ai vu que tu avais contribuer à mon WIKI d'informatique que j'ai laissé à l'abandon involontairement, je suis parti en vacances et lorsque je suis revenu je n'y est plus pensé, mais j'enviseage d'y contribuer et je te remercie aussi pour l'aide et la contribution que tu y apportes, je vois que tu es en français cela va m'aider, pour le wiki sur GTA que j'avais créé il faudra que tu le supprimes (http://fr.gta.wikia.com/wiki/), je t'en remercie, as-tu msn ou une adresse email enfin que l'on s'échange des messages plus facilement ? Je te laisse mon adresse qui fait aussi adresse MSN : xxx@xxx.xxx (pourras-tu après avoir pris connaissance de mon adresse éditer mon message et l'enlève).

Je te remercie !!


 * Ça ne sert pas à grand chose d'enlever ton adresse car cela est toujours présent dans l'historique. En ce qui conerne la suppression d'un wikia, cela ne se fait pas. La licence GFDL dit que le contenu doit demeurer librement accèssible et modifiable par tous. Mes contributions sur le wikia français d'informatique sont pour le moment sommaires. Mon but principal était de m'en servir pour mes autres projets avec des liens interwikis. Par exemple, mon projet de wikia de modélisation 3D (fr.3d.wikia) est supposé lier tout terme d'informatique à « ton wiki ». Note, que même lorsqu'on est le fondateur d'un wikia, le wiki ne nous appartient pas. Cela fait partie des raisons pourquoi on ne supprime pas les wikis, ils appartiennent à la communauté. — TulipVorlax 01:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Reply: Userpage
That's caused by using a low resolution and by using Internet Explorer. ^_^ -- 11:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


 * My screen is 1440x900, mind you. I have the right to not liking reading too long lines of text. And i wont use Firefox because i dont like it at all. That's all.
 * Oops ! I'm on my bot account. Well, you see, when i use my bot, it's the only reason for me to use Firefox so i can also edit under my normal account.
 * Beside, when doing a website, you should do the necessairy for it to be at least useable on both Firefox and IE. See one of my littles sites here : http://gw-freak.synaptique.ca/ It look's the same with both browsers.
 * -- TulipVorlax on his bot account, sorry. Vorlax1 12:30, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


 * When doing a website, yes. When formatting non-userspace wiki articles, of course. But it's my userpage design and I only use Internet Explorer at work and for use for my bot account elsewhere. I really don't have time to find out why it does that in IE, I ate up enough time converting from html/php to wiki code that would look right on my primary browser. I have my hands full with FFXI wiki, wikia in general, and I'm also in the process of moving to another base so that's eating a lot of time up too. Glad you got AWB working. Cheers. :) -- 14:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


 * And the fact that 90% of the screens in the world are at 1024x800 or even less is totally irrelevent because your page is only for your own use.
 * You see, just a single click to see the source and i already know what the problem is. It's not IE. It's you. You specify a width for your main table that dont fit in the content space of the quartz skin (but i think it wouldn't fit on monobook neither). That's all.
 * But, there's no problem because your user page is only for your own eyes.
 * You think i wanted to show you a screen capture only to... do what ? My intention here was only to help. But now i know i was only loosing my time and should had just closed that tab like every other people with normal size browser window (or screen) would do when seen something like that.
 * So sorry for the disturbance. — TulipVorlax 22:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Blocked or not ?
When i try to edit in the forums (and only there); i get this weird message : http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/2833/03012008080606vf5.th.jpg

It's not even my IP. — TulipVorlax 13:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, it happen mostly when trying to reply to this : Forum:WoWWiki ordered list bullets disappeared. — TulipVorlax 14:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Patarsort
Either he doesn't fully understand google translates or is ignoring me, can you please explain to him about uploading images at central? Thanks Tulip -- 16:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * As i understand this, he has created his account here just so he could make himself some nice and easy publicity for what he do (website, etc). I say that but i dont know if he have been contributing elsewhere on Wikia. — TulipVorlax 21:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

réponse
Je suis venu sur Wikia à la proposition de Monsieur Martin Verne,

je ne comprends pas vos propos

Si je mets mes dessins sur plusieurs sites ( 20 env ) c'est bien sûr pour me faire connaître, y voyez-vous un inconvénient, sinon quel est le but de votre site ?

puisque apparemment ça ne plait pas, je n'en mettrai plus !

salutations Patrick


 * Ceci est le Wikia central; ce n'est pas mon site. D'ailleurs, les wikia n'appartiennent à personne. Ils appartiennent à la communauté. Néanmoins, comme dans toute communauté, il y a des règles à connaître et à suivre.
 * Le wikia central n'est pas là pour que vous y faites ce que bon vous semble. La raison d'être du Wikia central est de recenser les wikia existant, la coordination des efforts de travail des employés de Wikia, des « janitors », des « helpers », etc.
 * Il existe des centaines de wikia. Mais je ne crois pas qu'il en existe un où vos images seraient bienvenues. Aucun wikia ne peut servir à se faire de la publicité. Si vous n'avez pas l'intention de contribuer à un wiki, même sur Wikipédia vous serez vu comme une nuisance.
 * De plus, vos images vous appartiennent. Elle sont donc sous copyright. À moins d'explicitement donner la permission à un wiki de les utiliser, ils n'auraient pas le droit de le faire. Mais quel usage pourraient-ils en faire de toute façon ?
 * Êtes-vous un grand bédéiste connu mondialement ? N'êtes-vous pas plutôt un simple père de famille qui produit ces choses pour amuser ses enfants ?
 * Il existe un wikia où vous pourriez mettre des images pour que des enfants puissent les colorier. Mais je ne crois pas que celles que vous aviez chargées ici soient de cette sorte.
 * Désolé. — TulipVorlax 14:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Unprotection request on Game Dev Wikia
I request that the main page of Game Dev Wikia or Game Programming Wikia, whatever is the name, be unprotected by an admin. I have told Swirl but he does not answer. So I am telling you because I really need to change it for people to read my articles (I have made 5 and will make more). If you cannot do it but only Swirl can do, then I will abandon my efforts here. The point is I wanted to create this Wiki, but it was already created. And I found, to my surprise, that Swirl has protected it for unknown reasons. I saw the history of the page and I saw no vandalisms. It is so unfair, it goes against the spirit of Wikia.com. Don't you think? Freud2008 19:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

French Adoptions page
Hi -- I'm working on a test to see if we can raise a wiki's Google ranking by taking all of the links to the Central page and redirecting them to the actual wiki itself. Your User:TulipVorlax/French Adoption page is making that tricky -- it's DPL, and I can't do anything with those links. Are you still using that page? -- Danny (talk ) 23:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No, i kind of have abandonned that "project". Have to much other thing to do. But before deleting, maybe we could just put the whole thing between comment tag. If it dont work, then delete. — TulipVorlax 00:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, that worked. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 00:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Mis Concept
I maybe misintroduce my subject... Since I was link to wikia creation or more to wikia non-creation... Why supporting the creation of multi wikia when you could refers people to wikia already existing... or similar projects... Do you make money on each wikia started? Is it your motivation for these creations?

Anyway...


 * Me, i dont make money from anything Wikia related. I'm not a staff. Just a regular user that have a lot of free time and thus can be present on Wikia more than an ordinairy user.


 * And by the way, dont think all wikis can be called wikia. Thoses wikis you put links to doesn't seemed to be hosted by Wikia. — TulipVorlax 19:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think your are right they are not hosted by... But Jimbo Wales create the concept of wiki and eventough these wiki are not hosted by Wikia his new company... I really believe that he would love to contribute to more efficient wiki... more complete and with passionnate users like you seem to be. Anyway... I maybe mis post on the forumbut I get some contact I was looking for and could be that Green Wikia and Ekopedia become close partner soon... So So I apologize if I disturb your work... I try to do what I believe is good for our humanity... Doesn't mean that I never do mistakes. Wish you the best and hope to collaborate in the future with more people motivated like you.
 * Olivier_C


 * But, you know, maybe it was me who made a mistake in proposing it for deletion. But, it might not get deleted, now sysops will see if it really need to go and take care of it.
 * There are some rules and policies on Wikia. The more important are "dont compete with Wikipedia" and "existance of other wikis on a topic is no reason to not do a Wikia".
 * As motivated has i might seems, i mostly never contribute to others english wikia and i only do some minors edit on Wikipedia and others wikis. My first language is french and that's why the wikia i started here are in french.
 * On fr.guildwars.wikia, i would never put a link to gwiki.fr (the non Wikia conterpart). Most of the time, i dont see theres a good reason to link wikia to their non wikia conterpart as that would only make people leave wikia for thoses wikis that show no publicity and use the old Monobook skin.
 * Yes, people are still free to choose. They just have to do a Google search. But they must choose. You can't expect people to contribute to many wiki on the same topic. Some are able to because they have more free time than normal people (like me) but most people have work, need to eat and sleep, they go out with friends and dont spent hours in front of a computer.
 * In fact, the chances are that thoses people would not even find you forum article on Wikia. The only people who would see it are people who envolve themselves in the Wikia community. Trues Wikians. So, in the end, doing publicity on Wikia forum is not a so good idea except that Google will find thoses links more faster than it would have on any other site. And that would artificially increase your pagerank if the mediawiki software wouldn't had been modified to put a "nofollow" tag in externals link.
 * What i'm trying to demonstrate, if i may say, is that doing publicity for our websites on any wiki that use MediaWiki is now obsolete; it wont do any good. Wikians are not interested to see links to non Wikia wikis when they explore Wikia. If a Wikian would want to find non Wikia wikis, it would use a search engine.
 * The fact that Jimbo worked to promote Mediawiki software and wikis usage is completly irrelevant to thoses matters. It's not like McDonald's fondator would send his customers to Burger King, isn't it ? — TulipVorlax 19:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Template you made
I saw your answer to someone who had asked about creating pages in a common format at Forum:Setting the same format for all articles including those I don't write and it looks like you did something pretty good there, but I can't figure out exactly how you set the thing up. I'd like to do something similar on Broadcasting, but I can't follow you because I'm not really sure what you did. Can you give me some help? -- BruceG 23:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The most simple example of usage would be :
 *  
 * This code create a single text area. We have put them in templates just so it could be used on users pages...
 * But i'm not sure if this mediawiki extension is still installed by defaut on every new wikis. I mean, it might not work on your project and you might have to ask someone from the Community Team for help. — TulipVorlax 00:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much. I've used it, and it works, though I needed to make some changes to do exactly what I wanted to do. I wish I knew some way of controling the size of the window that was put there (it's much bigger than I'd want, because I want people to simply enter a station call, which is 3 or 4 letters), but it's nice to have. -- BruceG 16:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh i forgot about that. Look in this page : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Inputbox
 * It say you can use width= something. I think there's some others paremeters too... — TulipVorlax 17:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. You've been a great help. -- BruceG 20:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

a question from the attic
hello,

i am the attic door and i had a forum thread asking people to respond if they wanted to help out with the EC comics wiki i founded. it appears to say that you responded to this forum but i see no response on my computer(it's a bit glitchy). i was wondering if you could contact me and tell me if you wanted to help out or if that was just a glitch. thank you.

The attic door 03:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)the attic door


 * Oh, sorry about that. If you had looked in the history you might had understood that i simply corrected the way your signature was showing up. I like clean wikis pages. ;-) I moslty know nothing about comics except that i have a friend who collected thing about Spiderman and the X-Mens when he was younger. I liked the recently made films though. But i moslty never contribute to english wikis because my language is french and i dont have enough time to contribute to french wikis. — TulipVorlax 04:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
