==Re: Promo and others==
 
Good work, mate, but I'd like to change around the message content a tad (I'm a bit busy at the moment, so pay me no mind), and as you can see [[User:VI/SandboxII|here]] (ignore the textual content, it's just a placeholder) I re-did the colour and indent settings to fit more pleasingly into the template. Did you say you redid the scan update template thingy of Alka's? Bravo! Do you have a link to it? I don't see it in your sandbox. Sorry for the brusqueness, I'm a bit pressed for time. {{User:VI/S}} 06:37, 14 June 2009 (BST)
 
:No problems here, just wanted to get it up and running. I am not the world's best copywriter. You can see the changed example to the Suburb Scan Template on our [[Talk:NecroWatch|NW Talk page]] or in my [[User:Dr Mycroft Chris/Sandbox3|Sandbox3]]. The source for the template on the WIKI is located [[Template:NWnews|here]]--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 11:06, 14 June 2009 (BST)
 
 
 
== Template:NWnews ==
 
I've took the liberty to fix it. Setting <code>align="left"</code> causes the template box to hover to the left and the text to wrap around it. By removing alignment code altogether, the template stays to the left but the text doesn't wrap.
 
Just one question though, was the decision to change the template yours? Or was it a team effort?
 
The reason I'm asking this is because, while the template looks nice and professional, I kind of miss the good old A.L.I.C.E. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 18:17, 17 June 2009 (BST)
 
:As you are doubtless aware, NecroWatch is at best a loose confederation of like-minded citizens. We recieved a "complaint" about the ALICE template being too obtrusive. We started a discussion between it's creator and us. He gave us carte blanc to re-do as we saw fit. However, we also took this opportunity to change the design as this new template promotes NecroWatch, which is the whole reason we started the template idea to begin with. The ALICE template is sooo cool, but only promotes us tangentially. I must admit, I took action quickly once we had a general consensus and no one voiced a dissenting opinion, so voila! Nothing is carved in stone, all things can change. But it is nice to just get it done, too. BTW, thanks for the adjusting the code. That's a bit of a weak spot for me.--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 21:08, 17 June 2009 (BST)
 
::Well, to tell the truth, I'm not a Wiki code master either. I tried to change its position to <code>align=center</code> as a temporary (and "obtrusive") solution. But I misspelled it to "ce'''m'''ter" and the preview worked fine. So I just removed the alignment altogether. Talk about a lucky mistake.
::Anyway, the A.L.I.C.E. template is now forever preserved on the discussion page so people can relive their fond memories of it. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 16:31, 19 June 2009 (BST)
 
:::Ha! ROFLMAO! What a wonderful mistake...Thanks, again.--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 23:49, 19 June 2009 (BST)

Hey! Just felt like letting you know that I am level 3 now! About to be level 4. Am planing on getting shopping. Then visiting that hat shop of yours. Ever think about settling down? [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 17:06, 9 July 2009 (BST)
 
:Well, congrats on moving up a few levels! But as you can see from my logbook, I still got some time to go before I settle down, of course. I'm about to finish the NE quad of Malton in a few weeks probably--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 22:16, 9 July 2009 (BST)
 
I'm staying at Shore Hills, at [[the Locock Building]]. I'm the only one who uses it. No lights. When I get shopping I'm going to go and stock up. Am going to get a rabio for it also! [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 17:39, 10 July 2009 (BST)
 
Well got shopping. Went to Akland mall. Got a phone, and a radio. Got a pistol and a clip, shotgun shell. You can text me now! :O! I don't have you though. [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 17:54, 10 July 2009 (BST)
 
Robert is at Darvall Heights. Them 2 could have been friends :/ Where ever your at. Stay there. I'm heading over! - [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
::I'm at [[Adney Auto Repair]]--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 21:45, 15 July 2009 (BST)
 
:::[[St. Pius's Hospital]] myself. I'll head over there tomorrow when I get AP. - [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
Robert died! You got a stick?
 
:unfortunately, no...got attacked in my sleep luckily they didn't finish the job but had to move into Darvall Heights, will resurface when fully rested. --[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 18:15, 16 July 2009 (BST)
 
Well Robert is out side the building. Zeds attacked the place and killed me in my sleep. How lucky. - [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
::All is not lost....do you carry a radio? what frequency is it tuned to? I WILL get there but it will take a few hours--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 21:06, 16 July 2009 (BST)
 
1. 26.45
 
2. 28.53
 
Thats my radio's for Rob - [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
::OK, have jabber, must rest up for AP...see you soon, my location is secret for now until I revive you (Thanks, Pluto!)--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 01:20, 17 July 2009 (BST)
 
lol. Okay. - [[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
== Might as well answer you here to save AP ==
 
Yeah, we're in the area. Word is we'll be getting a lot of reinforcements too. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 01:04, 18 June 2009 (BST)
 
:Glad to make your acquaintance Sir! I'm aiming for scans from the other 2 NTs in Quarlesbank soon, but gotta go get gas & gennies first. Seems like a bunch of disorganized ferals roaming around that 'burb. Thanks for the heads up--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 01:33, 18 June 2009 (BST)--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 01:33, 18 June 2009 (BST)

== Penny heights NT's ==
 
Was craddy reclaimed, or did you just drop a fueled genny inside? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:11, 18 June 2009 (BST)
 
:Just a drop to get the scan, 3 zeds inside (Ghost Recon Ribbon). BTW, how you doin'? My alt is resting in the Humphrys Bldg a few clicks away loaded with ammo if needed, 3jabbers and a toolbox--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 21:35, 18 June 2009 (BST)
 
== Recent News Template ==
 
Hey there Dr Mycroft.  I just wanted to let you know that I'm reverting your [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Template:Recent_news&diff=1491554&oldid=1482115|the recent edit] to the template [[Template:recent news|recent news]].
 
The way the template is supposed to work is you type <pre> {{recent news}} </pre> onto a location page and the template will set up a news archive link.  You don't actually add any information to the template itself, but rather to the location page.  I hope that makes sense?  Anyways if you have any questions on how to use the template or if you have any suggestions on how to improve the directions for its use please feel free to contact me via my talk page.
<br>
Laters!  --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 17:11, 23 June 2009 (BST)
:Oh, you know what, I just went to the Vincent PD page to re-add your info there and I realized that it was a problem with the template itself, and not something you did.  Sorry for the confusion.  I'll sort it out.  --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 17:20, 23 June 2009 (BST)
 
::Thanks for that, 'cause it was a little bit confusing and I still have no idea how that happened. I was updating the "Current Status" when I went to save and some other page came up saying "Template." I thought, Oh Crap! what did I click this time? Glad that's sorted out--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 10:23, 27 June 2009 (BST)
 
== NecroWatch achievements ==
 
Congratulations, Doc!  Have been watching you get closer to the crown jewel for NT reporting. Finally done. Thanks for a job well done. --[[User:RustyNailsSon|RustyNailsSon]] 21:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC+10)  :)
 
:Thanks! It is always nice to garner some recognition and I definitely do not plan on going anywhere soon but I may catch up on some social obligations I have put off for some time. First off...[[THEM]]!--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 22:20, 26 September 2009 (BST)
 
 
Hello. . .and. . . well. . . congratulations! what else can I say :-). . . I hope, you'll continue <s>work</s> have fun in NecroWatch and also keep writing your diary, which I enjoy to read :-)
--[[User:Hermitek|Hermitek]] 10:41, 15 September 2009 (BST)
:Ditto ;) --{{User:Hashk/sig}} 16:17, 15 September 2009 (BST)
 
Thanks! It has been a delight to trek all over Malton, met lots of great people and yes, I'm continuing with NecroWatch. There is much to do. I'm hoping to ease into more of an administrative role and facilitate an easier NW in the future. And if elected...LOL!--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 02:17, 16 September 2009 (BST)
 
== Recent news ==
 
I found you have removed news from [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=The_Bascombe_Building&diff=prev&oldid=1540611 The Bascombe Building], [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=The_Gilesi_Building&diff=next&oldid=1372063 The Gilesi Building], and [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=The_Curme_Building_(Molebank)&diff=1547976&oldid=1434764 The Curme Building]. I've checked your past history a bit, and you don't seem to be the "delete everything" type. I see you usually save longer news, but remove really short ones, those without signature or timestamp.
 
Well, don't do that. Every news, no matter how trivial, has historical value. An unsigned news can still be salvaged, just check up its history, and use [[Template:Unsigned]] <code><nowiki>{{Unsigned|User name|Edit time}}</nowiki></code> to add the signature (you can see my example at those pages, where I edit back those news.) If you can't find that information (edit older than August 2008, that history was removed), then just leave it as it is. Thank you. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 01:16, 23 September 2009 (BST)
 
:I absolutely agree! Just so you know, what I regularly delete is the "Nothing to report" comment at the "Current Events" section of NTs or yes, an undated, unsigned comment IF it carries no historical value, i.e. "Zombies are trying to break in...!" or "I rested here and my penis RULZ!" Uggh...
 
:However, your point is very well received. If you wish, I will forward to you any material I find questionable. Thanks for your support in the past and I look forward to working with you in the future.--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 02:32, 23 September 2009 (BST)
 
== Are you done with it all? ==
 
Have you done it?
 
Have you done it all. If you have join me in Havercroft!
[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 18:56, 11 October 2009 (BST)
 
:Yup! the scanning is done, now I can fulfill my social obligations, 1st up a siege or 2 up at the mighty haslock. I can send an alt to work with you but I think you'd have more fun & learn more if you joined me up here, besides, '''''It'll be FUN!!!'''''--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 01:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 
==Corrected your scan==
You posted your scan of [[The Morrish Building]] as [[The Haslock Building]] on the [[Pitneybank]] suburb page. I corrected it. Regards, your fellow NT technician. --[[User:Itsacon|Itsacon]] 18:02, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:Thanks! Sometimes in all the pasting & copying code, one overlooks these things. Whewww...glad you caught it--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 18:08, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::Been there, done that. Copy pasting is dangerous work! --[[User:Itsacon|Itsacon]] 05:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 
==Scout report template==
Is there a reason you posted your recent scout report for [[Pennville]] as an image, and didn't update Alka's excellent template for that building? I just moved your scan to the template, hope you don't mind. I'm not stalking you or anything. Honest ;-). Regards, [[User:Itsacon|Itsacon]] 13:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:Yes! I can't post the template onto the respective suburb & building pages and their needs to be proof that I actually did make that scout report. Besides, who you gonna' ask? Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much activity from other NecroWatch Techs at the moment & our founder is off fishing...sooooo.....--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 17:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
::Well, as for proof, same goes for the Necronet scans (it's only HTML, after all). As for including the scout reports on building/suburb pages: I'm working on some stuff. I think the scout reports are up for a bit of a facelift... [[User:Itsacon|Itsacon]] 18:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 
==Vinetown scout report==
Hey, me again. I was about to create the new Scout report template for [[Vinetown]], but noticed an inconsistency. The current designated building for this is [[The Yapp Building]], but the most recent scan (yours) is made from [[Bubcar Towers]], and the wiki page for that building also contains the related NecroWatch info. What building are we going to use? --{{User:Itsacon/Sig}} 14:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 
:Bubcar it is! Will change the page, thanks--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 17:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 
==Reverting Pages ==
You can revert pages by going to an article's history, selecting the version you want, selecting edit, and then saving the edit. You can also put revert in the summary to make it more clear why you are restoring an earlier version of the article. -[[User:MHSstaff|MHSstaff]] 19:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 
:Thanks, never ran across this type of stuff before, didn't want to push the wrong button--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 23:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 
== A/VB ==
 
Check this link..
 
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Mornington&diff=1620084&oldid=1617928
 
If you look at the top right, it says undo. Pressing that reverts it to the version on the left.--{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 23:25, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
:'''RE:''' I got beat by a few hours... Anyways, MHS Staff's way makes an edit, while mine reverts theirs. Either way is usually acceptable by everyone. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 23:26, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

==Necrowatch Question ==
Hi Dr Mycroft Chris,
I'm a newbie in UD and NecroWatch and I saw that you are decidedly experienced in updating NecroTech scans so... I have a problem  that I can't solve and I hope you can help ... I followed the guide and I've  updated the  scan image of a building  (Coutts Building - EastonWood),but  I noticed that the previously scan remains in the wiki page, when I'm expecting that it changes... I changed the previous user sign with mine, hoping that something happends but nothing. Searching in the Nechrowatch database scan I also find the image that I've updated...so the question is...where is the mistake in uploading the scan?
Sorry for the bad English, and thanks in advance --[[User:Vera Potter|Vera Potter]] 18:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
: Vera, it looks fine to me; I see your uploaded scan on the Coutts page. I think the problem is you have to refresh your browser after you make the update; you are probably seeing an older version of the scan as your browser has not reloaded the page yet. Welcome btw! -[[User:MHSstaff|MHSstaff]] 20:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 
:::Sorry for the lateness of my reply, but it seems MHS has answered your query. Welcome aboard BTW! I'll make sure your up on the board at NecroWatch but if there is anything else you need, let me know. I also added your contact, you can always get me in town that way. I use a satellite phone, my # is MYC-ROFT...LOL--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 06:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 
== Nice job with your log ==
 
The real reason I popped by here was to thank you for posting a log (Scanman Chronicles) on your main page for others to follow. It is interesting to read and to follow your scientist's experiences around the city. -[[User:MHSstaff|MHSstaff]] 20:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 
:Thanks! It's something to do...you know what it's like in this town. Liable to go stir crazy otherwise...LOL--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 21:02, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

:Are you still alive? That burb was in imminent danger of getting run over by the MOB...got someone in Old Arkham--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 05:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 
== Dr Shadows is requesting HELP! ==
 
How close are you from Havercroft? I've been stuck here for awhile, remember when you said we would help each other out, maybe knows the time. I can get on the computer know so thats great! If you can help me get out of being another darn zombie let me know via my page, also would be great to add any news if you can. Red is back in town!!!
[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]]
 
:Ok...I have an alt at the Mall in South Blythville, Capt'n Midnight. Would you be able to meet me somewhere in between? Say [[Shallet Crescent]]? It's right next door to an NT in [[North Blythville]] and won't take me too far from my destination back in Mornington.--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 22:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 
I willing and ready. But it may take a little bit, I don't any zed skills and am a little bit rusty with this zed thingy! --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 22:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 
:Not a problem...I'm still putting together my jabber kit--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 22:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 
I'm in Lerwill Heights; should be able to get to you by tomorrow. What plans for after? A team up? --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 22:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 
:This particular alt is part of the Chidley Row Fire Crew in Mornington; we got stuff to do if your available. It'll be fun!!--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 05:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 
Got revived earlier then I thought I would. Tell me where to go and I'll be there. --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 19:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Suburb [[Mornington]], then get to [[Millington Towers]], I'll meet you there--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 20:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 
Its a deal, mate. Can't wait to be in the presence of a UD hero. --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 14:37, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 
:Thanks!...for the sentiment but I'm just one guy out there, it's all of us, everywhere that make this city what it is. I'm just glad you're still around, hadn't heard from you in a while--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 15:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 
School got in the way, my computer got messed up and I couldn't log in. But, here I am. Ready for anything. (Just about)... --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 21:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 
Looks like zombie activty in Mornington is up. At least near our little tower, I just hope that Mornington doesn't go red. --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 21:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 
:Count on it! It all turns red sooner or later--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 08:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 
Well, I'm still trying to get my pistol skills up to the highest. And I got it. Heading over to [[Marven Mall]] to reload and restock. I'll get back to the towers has soon as possible. Hold off the zeds till I get back; don't want to die on me now. --[[User:Dr Red Shadows|Dr Red Shadows]] 21:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Bit late, but sounds glorious to me - we'd be quite happy to recieve necrotechnicians as long as they're alright with being force-fed pie, that is. :D - Rddr
 
:Well, Sir...thanks! I don't know when you'll get your first guys on Tour but I will be returning soon; have 20 jabbers in stock--[[User:Dr Mycroft Chris|Dr Mycroft Chris]] 08:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 
== Badge help ==
 
Hey there,
 
I saw your name on the edit list for the NecroBadges Template, so I thought I'd ask you. I want to make something similar for my group, but am really unsure as to how to do it. Is there any guides or anything that I can look at to help me?
 
Thanks in Advance,<br>{{User:Dezonus/sig}} 06:18, 5 September 2010 (BST)
