User talk:Robin Patterson

Hi Robin
i noticed you used to belong to Zeal, which I really liked. I also have been looking at DMOZ and many categories do not even have an editor. Have you ever considered building a wikia directory of web sites? --Gil

Hi!
Would you like to add information about Porirua to the cities: Wikicity? --CocoaZen 03:03, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * Kia ora! Yes, I noticed your contributions.  Thank you!  I'm rather neutral on some things like the category of cities vs city, especially this early in the game, when it wouldn't be hard to change.  I'll respond to other discussions you started there -- soon, I hope.  --CocoaZen 21:42, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Suggestion
Why not use Template:Babelbox2? It's created by me so I'll be happy if you appreciate it. And usage - upssdr  talk 04:38, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Kia ora!
It seems the Babelbox2 doesn't work normally. Danielwang want to standardize all babel templates into a CSS style. But now the layout is not right. I believe he is working on it. As I'm not familiar with CSS, I just hope he can accomplish his mission. Otherwise, that's only a suggestion, it all depends on you whether you want to use the template. - upssdr  talk

Thank you for your suggestion.
Dear Robin, Thanks for your suggestion. It helpful.

One thing strange to ThQn is when I use Help:Contents as you suggested, it always link to http://thqn.wikia.com not go to help on http://www.wikia.com and many of internal links within Wikia always be like that!

I don't know why but I keep on seek for the door out.

Cheers, RobinTh 12:43, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

More Robins
Nope, just you, RobinTh and me so far as I know. Of course with the IDs, there could be more of us, and we just wouldn't know. ;-) Thanks for "stopping by" to say hello!  And, no, I don't know any Thai either.  (But I like the food.)  I don't even think we have some Thai Babel templates here yet.  --Robin 01:41, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

tour bus stops
As far as I can tell, none of the meatball wiki tours link to wikia. It looks like MemoryAlpha is on the "Eclectic Wiki Tour". When I looked at the meatball tour system several months ago, I was intimidated by all of their requirements for adding a wiki to an existing tour. --JWSchmidt 03:13, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Tucson Move
Go for it! I'll help when I get a chance. The only contributor I've contacted is the founder, who is also the main contributor. She's fine with the move. --CocoaZen 17:28, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks all the work you're doing on this! I changed the notice on the Tucson home page from a request for adoption to say that changes should no longer be made there.  Since it's had such low traffic, I'm not sure that a freeze is even necessary.  Feel free to ask for one, though, if you want.
 * Also, thanks for saying nice things in my defence. I hadn't taken the comment personally, but it made me feel good when you said something.

Welcome
Robin Patterson, Welcome to Engineering Wiki!

Hello, and welcome to Engineering Wiki. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Community Portal talk page or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Srini 10:39, 15 Oct 2005 (IST)

NP Mate (-:
Welcome to Wikia! Thanks for removing your little test. I hope you can enjoy contributing to one or more of the hundreds of individual wikis available.

Was just wondering if the pages on the topwiki were true wiki format - and they were! Thanks (-: I am sorry that I will not be starting my own here - I host all mine locally )-:

Catching-Up
Thanks for the note re the math problem on IB. I've rolled the page back. As you can see, "I'm back". I was too busy to be in the past few days. Thanks for continuing to watch over Cities:! I'll try to catch up with stuff in the next few days. --CocoaZen 20:32, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Buenos Aires
You are still needed down south at http://buenosaires.wikia.com/index.php?title=Especial:Recentchanges&hideminor=0&hideliu=0&hidebots=1&hidepatrolled=0&limit=200&hidemyself=0&days=300&limit=200 unless you can persuade your Hispanic friends to get working!

Kind regards - w:User:Robin Patterson
 * There is not much I can do for an abandoned wiki with negligeable content about a city I have not lived in for six years. AFAICT there's not even anything there worth moving to cities: --Gherald 14:14, 14 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Jeb here
Hey Robin lets start listing websites on my Internet wiki!! Jeb 06:47, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Site referring Templates
Hi Robin, You're going to need to show me, sorry. On Left Space, can you take a look at the wikipedia template and see if you can get it to work on the Sierra Club page? That's what I have been having trouble with. Once I understand the syntax from a working example, I'll be able to use it. Chadlupkes 20:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Administrator
Hello Robin, Congratualtions on becoming an admin of the Central Wikia. Please read (or re-read) Help:Administrators' how-to guide to ensure you know how to use your admin abilities. Please be very cautious about editing official pages such as the terms of use, which should generally only be changed by Wikia staff.

fr.fiction.wikia.com
My wiki project is not tolerated any more on fr.wikipedia.org. (Decision of suppression http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Prise_de_d%C3%A9cision/Dissolution_du_projet_univers_de_fiction ) It is a wiki which décrie works of universe of fiction: Film, televised series, game, video game. I started on wiki http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Fr.fiction:Home (my works only, big works) for you give an idea. I can have fr.fiction.wikia.com ?

offerings
1)Which offerings you are refering to please? Cannot locate. 2)Saw you note in my user page in Wiki. Thanks. Cannot see my name in red any more. What I have to do now please? Do not call me Sir. Not worthy of it. My duty I am doing.

'''HEY, Dore (Sir!) - you are doing more of it. This is the Central Wikicity, not the Engineering Wikicity.'''
 * Please move your latest offerings to w:c:engineering

Thanks for tip
Hi Robin _Im away from home for the weekend but when I get back I will move all my pages across to my sandbox using the tip you gave me. I do appreciate you keeping an eye on me. My application seems to have fallen into a black hole. I resubmitted it a couple of days ago to try and gee them up but have heard nothing. I will wait to see what happens on Monday but if I dont hear anything I will email Angela as I assume she is the person who collates permisions? Cant wait to get started. Lifeartist 14:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Anthere
Angela just informed me of the existence of the account user:Anthere. I did not open it, nor did I wrote the very rude message on the talk page. Come on, I can be rude, but to that point? Angela will do it so that I retrieve the account. 83.205.48.213 13:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC) (ip tracking to MY city).

Gradually getting the hang of this
Thanks again for your sound advise. I am in a flurry of activity and its hard to keep all the balls in the air at the same time. Forgot to follow your tip on case even though I digested it at the time so learnt the hard way and had to move a number of pages to get the consistency. Hope things calm down next week. I feel I have made good progress tho', enough to start getting other people involved. What do you do about backing up your sites? I would hate to lose all my hard work. Keep popping by. I like the thought of you half a world away muttering at my indescretions!!!! Lifeartist 23:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Featured City/Vote & Valentines
Happy Valentine's Day! Were you concerned about some aspect of the Featured Wiki this month? Sorry I haven't been around much recently. Started a new position at work, and it's keeping me more than busy. I hope once I get the hang of it, I'll be able to wiki-more. --CocoaZen 23:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello!
Thanks for your message.--Ember Nickel 03:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Fixed the URL
Hey i fixed the URL to my Wikicity now can somebody help me on my problem on putting my logo Metlover21 1:05am February 20, 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for help re: Helen Clark on voterice!
Appreciate the edit! Thanks for dropping by! ;-) Nhprman 03:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Re:StationIj
I understand, but you must remember that there was a language barrier. At the time, I was just trying to stop the specific contributor from blanking the main page over again - sorry if I didn't mention in my message that the information wasn't in "the right place." By the time he read my message, he most likely left. Will he come back - we'll have to see. I'll be sure to use more caution in warning users in the future, even in Greek. --Master Jay 03:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, I received your note on the tech wiki - I'll get to it. I've thrown in some admin access as well. Thanks for the tip. --Master Jay 03:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the warm fuzzy -- and for all your good work around here, too. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for welcome
Thank you for welcome. I have transaled the template. I'm very sorry for my english, I know it's very ingrammar and simple, but I read better than I write and the translation of template is certainly accurate.:) Szoferka 01:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for the information. I saw the redirects and thought that was a good temporary measure. And thanks for the info at the tutorial. I'm sorry I haven't been around on Cities for awhile. (I have stopped by to check for vandalism, but haven't had time to contribute. I have also been taking some pictures to add... eventually.  Things are getting a bit less crazy-busy, so I hope to be around more.)  Thanks for all you've been doing! --CocoaZen 03:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

No progress on some Wiki
Thanks :)

Wikis with This Wiki isn't progress! aren't develop. Can I add adoption template on this Wikis? ZelDelet
 * If I may jump in... If a wiki is no longer being edited, Adopt this wiki has the guidelines for putting it up for adoption. Be sure to leave the founder a message also in case he or she comes back! Thanks, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 20:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Genealogy Wikia vandalism
There's a huge amount of vandalism over at the Genealogy Wikia, Robin. Just thought you'd like to know. I reverted some of it but I don't have a lot of time today. Also, do you know if it's possible to "semi-protect" pages or even entire Wikis in Wikia? I sincerely believe it would solve 90% of the vandalism problems if users were required to log in using a user name before editing. It would also be a better solution than fully protecting articles and main pages, which negates the idea of all users being allowed to contribute. I'd love to hear your views on this. Thanks Nhprman 20:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Link alternative to + tab
Thanks for the welcome, Robin, and for the heads up -- I've added a hyperlink on my Talk page to create a new section for those that don't have a + tab. --JNavas 20:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Psychology Wiki keeps on growing
