Hello, I was wondering if you know how to create a Category page. Because I would very much like to have a the pages and I have no clue how. Skeeker _[Talk] 07:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow nevermind, I suppose that was a little wierd. They appeared when I typed them in so now I know how. I deleted them when they showed up on here. Skeeker _[Talk] 07:29, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Usurption

You need to be an "established editor" to be allowed to usurp usernames. A new account isn't allowed to do so. Just fyi. Secretlondon 13:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

List of units in Age of Mythology and The Titans

I'd like to help out with that too...I get the feeling I can work on AoE's GA and this towards FL at the same time - it shouldn't be too hard (making tables, finding some refs). Let's get to work (yes, I'll start on this now)! I don't look forward to a full table conversion (having done that before with the list of minor gods in AoM), but I think there's an auto converter - I'll go look.

I'll help with the effort. I've left a few "unit types" blank because I'm not sure what you would classify them as. If you could fill that in, that would be great :-). Thanks! ~ Wikihermit 19:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Spebi - I would be delighted to help where I can too; a long-time player of this game, I would love to see this list featured. Cheers -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Done some things with the TOC, added more info, and added images. What do you think so far? -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, if you tihnk so. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I would have no problem with taking a screenshot. I will take one later on today. The ones you pointed out were also good. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry - it has been pushed back a bit. I will definitely have time to properly play the game and take some good screenshots today. What exactly would you like pictures of, or what pictures do you tihnk would best compliment the article? -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

That sounds like a great idea - I might also get a shot ofm a regiment of hoplites or infantry etc. or some myth units.... -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

/me could get a few screen shots. ~ Wikihermit 04:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do. Sebi _[talk] 04:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe Wikihermit should be the one get them: I just realised I lent my game to a friend a while back. I can get it back at school tomorrow, though, so I will definitely take some tomorrow. I am sorry for the delay. Thanks in advance Wikihermit. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 09:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok then. Thanks for understanding (btw, the shot used in the article at the moment is quite good) -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 09:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

You won't believe it, but I just can't get the screenies - I haven't got the game: friend still has it, i can't seem to get ahold of him etc. etc.. Sorry; I really am. Maybe Wikihermit will be able to get some. Cordially, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

RfA/WikipedianProlific

Hi there, Spebi. Would you kindly please go back and make your vote explicit? From your edit summary and your placement under the "Support" heading, it looks like you are voting in favour, but since there's a fair amount of non-vote discussion in each of the subject headings, and all you did was sign your name, there's some ambiguity there. If you intend to vote in support, please add Support (in boldface) before whatever other comments you make + your signature. If you intend a Neutral or Oppose vote, please remove your comment from the "Support" heading and move it to the appropriate one, as well. Thanks! --Scheinwerfermann 02:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

This will surely sound silly, sweetie, but I've hesitated before starteing to type a short thing here, telling you how much I miss you. My fingers shake - I feel so silly! I guess you'll just have to forgive me if I tell you, thank you so much, not just for letting me know you care about me, but for everything you've done for me in the last days, weeks, and months. The wonderful little card you gifted me when I was down, a couple of weeks ago, was an incredibly beacon of light amidst a dark moment. You so deserve an explanation, and I promise, you'll get it soon - but for now, I hope you feel the warmththe incredible virtual hug I'm sending you. Love you, my S.

I do like the plate idea and it might be something you might think of expanding so that other users could use it for things they have on their "plates" as well.

We should totally have a pageant. Miss Wikipedia! And we could establish consensus on who would win, because after all, Wikipedia is not a vote. So what would the events be? Getting an article to FA, followed by swimsuit competition? ~Eliz81^(C) 07:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Martin Stephens image

I've tried to locate my original source for this image, however haven't had any luck. I'll keep at it so we can attribute the image accordingly. It certainly looks to me like a police evidence photograph. I remember seeing the exact same image used on local tv at the time of their arrests and described as such. -- Longhair\^talk 09:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to add further that I think you're doing a terrific job with the Bali Nine article. I provided much of the bulk that makes up the 10 articles on those convicted, and the events surrounding it, but kind of fell out of the loop once the verdicts were delivered. It'd be good to see this article reach Featured Status. If you need any help, feel free to shout out towards my direction. -- Longhair\^talk 07:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure is close... One glaring problem I see is the entire section titled "Pre-arrest history" being 100% unreferenced. I think you'll find a handful of the existing references could easily back up the claims made there, or failing that, a glance back at the article history from a year or so ago might provide some further external links on the topic. -- Longhair\^talk 07:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Template standardisation

No problem, you couldn't have known. And was easy for me to fix so no confusion caused. And yes, I think the same. I took a look and most threads have been to recently active to be archived, yet the page is getting way to big. So yeah, I think we have to archive in "non chronological order" and just archive those threads who is not needed any more. Although they are not many... Should you or I do it? Or should we make up a list of thread headers on the archive page together to see that we agree and then cut and paste the content to them afterwards? --David Göthberg 07:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)—The preceding text was posted on User talk:Davidgothberg by Davidgothberg (talk⋅contribs), 07:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC).

Hi Spebi. I responded to you at my talk page and I made a list of sections that I suggest we archive. Can you double check that list? I made the list at Wikipedia talk:Template standardisation/Archive 1. --David Göthberg 08:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikihugs

Just a few things... firstly, given that template is in my user space, I would have appreciated being asked rather than just having you change it. Secondly, I already had a delayed subst in the code, which means that the "PAGENAME" variable gets substituted when the template is substituted onto the talk page, and therefore, when it gets archive it still works. Thirdly, I never expect anyone to put it anywhere other than an active talk page, and they would be silly to do otherwise, so sub-pages really isn't a problem. — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)} 15:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
