[edit] Torrasque
Hi, this is Captain panda. I am just wondering exactly what my article had that caused it to be what Wikipedia is not. Captain panda 21:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, for starters, the damage that a unit does is way too specific and should never be included in an encyclopedia entry. For another thing, mentioning that air units and reavers counter it is also not suitable for Wikipedia. If you want to add something, try the StarCraft Wiki at Wikia or StrategyWiki. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 21:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I just figured that those facts would be handy in an article about a unit in a computer game. Captain panda 21:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption Offer
Hi Zeratul,
If you fancy adoption by me, have a look at user page, if you like - leave me a message on my talk page or yours. Cheers Lethaniol 00:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, but no. You already have enough users to take care of - I'm sure I'd be too much. But thanks for the kind offer. Nothing personal. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 01:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] (Another) Adoption Offer
Hey Zeratul, I see you've got an adopt tag on your page, and if you want I'd be glad to help you out. Check out my user page or drop me a line if you have any questions, otherwise I'll see what you write here. P.S. I fixed the template you were talking about on the new contributor's help page. Let me know if there are other problems. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 02:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, as you don't seem to be as heavily burdened as the other user who offered, I'll accept! Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 02:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- righto then. All my relevant info is on the adopter's list. I know you're into Starcraft articles (I know, im a regular Sherlock Holmes) and that involved annoying fiction guidelines, so if ever someone gives you guff about WP:FICT or anything else, I am here to be your bludgeon... well... not really but you know. ;) Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 02:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, and congrats on your 150 edit! Dont worry, you dont have to worry about Wikiholism until you hit 200+ edits in a day and skip sex for nominating good articles... ;) Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 02:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Stubs backlog
Hi PZ - FWIW, anything over about 75 stubs is regarded as a backlog in Cat:stubs. That category is meant to be permanently either empty or as near to empty as possible (it usually has about 5-10 articles in it). Putting up the backlog notice alerts the members of WP:WSS that there is work to be done there (it shows up in their watchlists). Grutness...wha? 05:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, okay. Thanks. I just thought that 90-odd articles wasn't much since some backlogs have well over a thousand. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 14:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] hmm... response
Unfortunately, due to the way wikipedia is set up, there's no way to make an image a link. By default, clicking on an image brings it up as a source on the upload screen. That's why captions are so important. You can put the links you need in those captions. Otherwise, stuff like image source and stuff are on the image page. I thought about html as a workaround, but the link a href tags are not supported in markup. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 22:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Starcraft
No problem! I knew that information was around so you wouldn't have to do duplicate work! --Stux 01:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, nothing huge, I found it was already described here. --Stux 21:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] StarCraft?
Do you play StarCraft? If you do, can you help me a bit with User:Prelate Zeratul/List of units and buildings in StarCraft? It gets a bit tedious when I'm the only person doing the rewrites. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 19:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- En Taro Wiki! I indeed enjoyed StarCraft, a bit too much at times. I'd love to help but my hands are a bit tied for a while. --Cat out 22:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hallo! I used to play StarCraft, but I'll help out on the page if you like. --Įиʛ§øç βїʛβяøтњєя Rant | Contributions 21:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Hunter Killer (StarCraft)
Hi, could you delete said article and move Hunter killer (starcraft unit) there to take its place? That would be much appreciated. Thanks! Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 21:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Done, with page histories merged. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sustainable Living?
Ummmmmmmm... So you support Sustainable Living eh? Well, then why would you waste valuable energy spending time at a computer on Wikipedia? Captain panda Mussolini ha sempre tarche Quis ut Dues 03:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Heh... I said I support it, not that I actually practice it. That would take perseverance far beyond my ability. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 21:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application
Dear Prelate Zeratul,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Prodego talk 23:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Note
As your fairy adopter wikipedian, I should note that micromanagement is already an article, just not in the format you have on your user page. Dåvid Fuchs (talk / contribs) 23:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A bit of help with a StarCraft wikia template
I used to be a big editor of StarCraft articles at wikipedia, but I haven't edited anything significant for the past few months. One reason I haven't done so is that I've been working on the StarCraft wikia instead.
I noticed you improved/rewrote the StarCraft infobox template here. Cool! I wish I had noticed the changes earlier, as I ended up with something different at the wikia (using brute force/experimentation rather than actual knowledge or skill). It ends up looking almost the same, though.
The StarCraft infobox template seems to allow the use of "optional" entries (eg if you don't know someone's species, you can leave it out). Can you show me how to do that here? Thanks. Kimera757 18:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's the {{if}} template, this is the code of the template:
{| class="infobox" style="width: 21em; text-align: left;" |- ! colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | ''[[StarCraft universe|StarCraft]]'' character |- ! colspan="2" style="text-align: center; font-size: larger; background-color:{{{bgcolor|black}}}; color:{{{fgcolor|white}}};" | {{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}} |- ! colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |{{{image|}}} |- | colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" |{{{caption|}}} |- ! Species | {{{species|Unknown}}} {{#if:{{{gender|}}}|<tr><th>Gender</th><td>{{{gender|}}}</td></tr>}} |- ! Affiliation(s) | {{{affiliation|None}}} |- ! Position(s) | {{{position|N/A}}} {{#if:{{{voiceactor|}}}|<tr><th>Voiced by</th><td>{{{voiceactor|}}}</td></tr>}} |}
- I'm not sure exactly how it works, but {{if}} seems to play a part in it. Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 16:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:Prelate Zeratul/List of units and buildings in StarCraft
This article was deleted. Do you know anything about this? Captain panda In vino veritas 14:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

- Oh. I see now. Just was confused when I went to go work on it and it had disappeared. Captain panda In vino veritas 17:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- :) If you want to help, work on wikifying and cleaning up the StarCraft storyline (I'm currently working on StarCraft Episode III). Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 21:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
