Welcome to my talk page!
== Regarding Danger Reports ==
Hey, been seeing a lot of your work around the wiki these last few days. I just wanted to comment on edits of yours such as [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:DangerReport/Warehouse_45,15&curid=122185&diff=2075669&oldid=2032114&rcid=2147948 this one], in which you edit the comment while leaving the previous commentator's signature intact. I'd '''strongly''' encourage you not to do that, because you're liable to land yourself in trouble for impersonating others if you keep doing it, simply because it looks like they're the one who said those things, when it's really you who said it. If the block hasn't been updated in several months, as was the case with that one's status, I'd just mark it unknown and leave a note saying it was marked as unknown on X date, then would delete whatever was previously there and replace the signature with your own. It's how things have mostly worked up until now (though we used to have some bots that would do it all automatically for us), so it's a tried and true method that won't land you in any hot water. ;) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:40, 4 June 2013 (BST)

Revision as of 00:30, 5 June 2013

Thank you!

It's wonderful in having someone write and to get to talk a bit. Appreciate and in thanks for the neat superb welcoming as well as offering a bit of information to a complete newbie thrilled and excited to be here. Reason I joined the wiki being to provide accurate data related to danger levels of Suburbs and Buildings - accurate to the ... to the bone! Well,we have no skellies around,so to 'the bone' may still be objective transparent and balanced between any of the two huge factions,survivors and zombies (with their variations,which I've been reading on the past month) --Concerned'Citizen 23:46, 2 June 2013 (BST)

Hey Concerned'Citizen! This is in response to the above and to your message on my talk page.
First, regarding leaving messages on talk pages, it's pretty easy - and you've done pretty well. It's generally customary to leave newest messages for a user at the bottom of their talk page rather than the top, although some users prefer it the other way - you'll get used to it. And don't forget to leave your signature after a message, by either typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) or by clicking the Sign.png button at the top of the edit window.
Regarding updating building DangerReports, the thing to do is, on the buildings page, click the small button at the top right of the DangerReport that says "(update)". That button will take you to a page looking like this one, which you can then edit by filling in the appropriate information in each section (after each equals sign "="). For more on how to update the statuses, check out this guide, which tells you everything you need to know.
In regards to the suburb DangerReports, that seems totally fine and in order. In the future, don't forget to leave a brief reason why you're changing a suburbs status in the "Summary" bar at the bottom of the edit window. And feel free to get in touch with any more questions you may have! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 01:02, 3 June 2013 (BST)
Thank you so much, [Bob] for aiding and helping me get this sorted out.
I've noticed you've cleaned the page for the Fabian General Hospital allowing me to have a good edit of the danger level. I was on it and in the process of scratching whatever needed to be cleaned out & thanks in doing that for me as well as all of us using the Wiki.
There is still one building that might need a bit of check and edit restoring it's previous state;it also seems that this one is missing the respective buttons to edit danger levels : Club Brookeman.
Once more,thank you very much and hope I'll have more updated info on buildings and Suburbs,though for now I feel that it suffices.
Got on reading more on the Wiki.It's quite interesting;of course,I'd like in finding out more about coding to improve my user page talk page and even more.
Many thanks for your input and aiding a newbie Wiki nerd!
Concerned'Citizen 02:07, 3 June 2013 (BST)
Sure thing! I'll fix the Club Brookeman article right away. Also, so you know, if you want to link to a page on the Wiki, you don't have to use a link to the page's url; you can just put the page title in double square-brackets, like:
[[Example page]]
will show up as Example page. To make a link say something different than the page title, use a pipe in between:
[[Example page|this]]
will show up as this. Hope you find that useful! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 13:49, 3 June 2013 (BST)
It's quite useful;thank you so much!
Do hope that any newbie wiki users-such as I,would-at some point,benefit from this kind of help,support & finding useful information aiding them in their use of the wiki too.
if you'd have the pleasure and a bit of time to spare,could you please open up the door to the wonders of creating a brand new page for a group? I've been reading about it but haven't got the half of it and would very much like to set up a page for a decent new group around Urban Dead.
In thanks and appreciation,C.C.
Concerned'Citizen 16:57, 3 June 2013 (BST)
If you'd like a read, there is a very long Guide on the subject. In general, the way to form a group on the wiki is simply to create a page with the group's name and add information to it. You may also want to check out the recruitment advertising instructions. I'm afraid I can't help as much with in-game advice as on the wiki, but there is some in the guide I linked to above. Hope that helps! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 17:41, 3 June 2013 (BST)
First of all,thank you.
Um ... and I have had read the recruitment advertisement instructions before,twice or three times-can't say I found it very helpful;it was quite unclear and blurry-at least to me it was.
Well,since the so called 'group' does not fit to any of the kinds I've been reading about,rather being a neutral bunch,if you could possibly share and enlighten me,how's that possible in creating a new page and what/how could I possibly add to it?
Do have a general idea of 'how to add to it'-could sure use a good guidance there.
Though,first things are first-creating an entirely new page-how to?
Once more,thank you so much and looking forward to any insightful positive feedback.
Concerned'Citizen 18:08, 3 June 2013 (BST)
Hmmm... maybe it would be easier to explain if you let me know what the name of the group is? Bob Moncrief EBDW! 13:20, 4 June 2013 (BST)

Welcome & Suburb Danger Levels

Hi Concerned'Citizen!

First, I wanted to welcome you to UDWiki on behalf of Project Welcome! If you have any questions or need any help, don't hesitate to contact anyone on that page, or message me directly at my talk page.

I also was wondering why you changed a bunch of the suburbs listed as "safe" to "moderately dangerous"? In general, it's customary to put a brief justification in the "Summary" spot at the bottom of the edit window when changing a suburb's danger level. Thanks, and have a great day!

One...Two Words of Wisdom

1. Asparagus
2. Potato
Heed these words wisely,
Sincerely, the Gnome. 22:02, 3 June 2013 (BST)
haha
will do my best possible
Concerned'Citizen 22:54, 3 June 2013 (BST)
ow...I see!well,you could have simply said 1/2 WoWs and it would have made perfect sense! Wisdom is one's most precious 'possession' Concerned'Citizen 04:18, 4 June 2013 (BST)

Groups

Thank you,Bob Moncrief EBDW!!

Haven't entirely decided on a name for the group yet. Though,am positive and certain about what it should be:

-getting people in game familiar with the wiki & use it correctly updating data with accuracy; -having fresh new people join Urban Dead; -keep the group neutral,meaning to act as a balancing tool in the rising tides out there; -helping all level; Any kind of subjectiveness and expressing one's sided point of view with pros and cons would be entirely according to circumstances and a simple sincere show of ... of honest concern for having a good game to everyone,as possible.

Even so,Haven't completely decided on a name.Could be 'Lorem Ipsum' for the time being and perhaps a name will pop-out;even so,would like to make them people a page and make it look nice-I'm not that of a wiz with the internet,coding and stuff;a simple clean well organized page would do - nothing fancy.

Good day!
