:A brief response:
#Lots of newer users come here having no idea about how a wiki works, especially the Urban Dead Wiki. Project Welcome (PW,) tries to rectify that by adding welcome templates to newcomer's pages. 
#As an extension to the above, newer users have made petty mistakes in the past, upsetting the wider wiki community. If you know everything about how a wiki works, that's fine, we don't expect that of ''all'' newer users (and, hell, I don't even know the obscure areas of wiki policy yet, and I've been around for half a year.)
#I've been [[User_talk:Linkthewindow#Thank_You|thanked]] about this [[User_talk:Linkthewindow#Thanks_alot|previously]], and got the impression it was working, and helped newer users. In fact, you are the first person to complain.
#Finally, act in good faith. It would have just been a lot faster to delete the message and forget about it.

And ''finally'', if you want to remove the template, just remove <nowiki>{{Welcomenewbie}}</nowiki> from your page. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Glad to be of help :) I'll check some more today. --{{User:Janus Abernathy/Sig}} 13:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
:That's all we really have to do for now :). We need to check 'em all of in about a week (29 Dec.) {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

No need to reply to this, hop on IRC. #MCM please. {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 02:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

You did the whole lot of the radio frequencies! What about us. I was suposed to help. Anyway Good Job xD. You deserve (i think thats how you spell it) a Medal. --{{User:kaylo991/sig}} 12:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, you can spell it correctly :). Thanks. I had too much time on my hands (wet afternoon.) {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 12:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

:Done. I might request a protection later, if I think it needs it. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 01:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Yeah ==

I'm not really going inactive, I'm just going to be a lot less active for a while. I'll probably be more active in a few months, after the current set of real life issues goes away and leaves me some free time. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 13:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:That's cool. Just would have been a shame to lose you :(. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 04:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

==Categories==
Can't believe I missed that, When linking to categories you need to lead with a : it tells the wiki to look in the main namespace and thus treat them as a link rather than a category tag, much like with inclusion of non-template pages.--<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 01:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

==Recruitment==
"07:29, 27 December 2008 Linkthewindow (Talk | contribs) (→SOS Brigade : Pro-Survivor Group - -Removed. Not a template, old timestamp)"
What template? Do I really have to make one just for the recruitment?--[[User:ScouterTX|ScouterTX]] 14:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, it's mostly so your advert doesn't interfere with the adverts below it. There is some [[:Category:Recruitment#Format_for_Posting_Adverts|instructions]] here and a [[User:Bullgod/recruitment_guide|guide]] here. If they don't spell it out for you, just post back here. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 02:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

==Active==

C4NT, the fabulous underground corner kids and VZW are all still active by the way. Even if not wiki active. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 10:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:You tell me now! I'll go back and add them back on the main radio page. I don't think C4NT had a frequency. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 10:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


==Recruitment Ad==

How do I set up the picture between the first line and last line? I tried adding it in the middle but it didn't work.--[[User:PFC|PFC]] 20:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying. Could you please clarify? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:01, 29 December 2008 
(UTC)
:: Nevermind. I've got my three members. Thanks for you time.--[[User:PFC|PFC]] 22:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Recruitment page ==

What do you think of [[Special:Contributions/Sgt Gonnella|these]] edits? {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 22:36, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:Meh is my response :P. I can't see any harm in it, but it you don't like it, then go ahead and revert. Ether way, I don't really think anyone minds. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== [[Anti Zombie Squad]] ==

Just wanted to say that the leader of this group (Dra13) said [http://antizombiesquad.forumup.it/viewtopic.php?t=21&mforum=antizombiesquad something about it]. Would he be able to 'rebuild' the group even with the 'Group Inactive' Template? Just wondering. --{{User:Janus Abernathy/Sig}} 22:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, definitely. It's not a scheduled protection, and removing the advert is easy. Are they active though? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, good :) They aren't active at the moment, but Dra13 said he (they) could start playing again. Thanks! --{{User:Janus Abernathy/Sig}} 22:58, 29 December 2008 (UTC)



==TSR==

Wanna join [[The Status Reporters]] and help us give every TRP a status report? --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 05:48, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks, someone had to do this. I'll drop by your talk page with a few ideas, and I'll sign up in a few days (I've got stuff to do first, both in real life, and on the wiki.) {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 06:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Inactivity project ==

We've always had groups who don't update their pages, despite remaining active in game, but still keep an occasional eye on the page, none the less. Some of them may not appreciate having the template wacked on their page. Just a heads up <small>-- [[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 07:50 30 December 2008 (BST)</small>
:I've added a note [[:Category:Inactive Groups|on the category page]] about how to remove the template. At the moment I'm sticking to groups that haven't updated for over six months, and are not on the stat page, as well as nothing on the discussion page. Although some groups might lurk on the wiki, six months is a long time. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 07:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

==Arbitration==
Go put it back. You'll notice KOTD hasn't made an edit since the last arbitrator volunteered, and given the festive time of year it's unfair to archive it considering. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
:Done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 06:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

==Sorry to be such a pedant==
But some of the language you chose for your story on my life is atrocious and horribly biased. It clearly shows that while you (someone who i respect and whom i'm sure most people around the wiki do to) wrote the list as evident by the timestamp, the motivation and the choice of language is heavily nubis/karek influenced. Firstly, the "sysop team" didn't say WTF? Boxy, nubis and karek did. I didn't, gnome didn't, cheese didn't, hag didn't, conn didn't and the whole assorted list of inactives didn't. Secondly "abuse of the checkuser logs" is wrong for 2 reasons, one i didn't abuse the "logs" the logs are just a list of previous action on the checkuser function and 2, while i did abuse the function the description and link, to an eye unfamiliar with the particulars of the wiki make it seem like the abuse was extensive. A more accurate description would be "looked up User:Boxy's IP address, against wiki protocol" or something. Also, remove a/vb thingo over cyberbob impersonation, i had ''nothing'' to do with that whatesoever, again it's running on nubis etc suspicion.  OK thats pretty much it, kudos if you could fix that up. Thanks.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 22:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
:I'm getting very confused over this. Sorry :(. I've changed some of the language around. Making a list like this is a hell of a lot harder then it looks-now someone will complain about it having bias. Anyway, if you've got more concerns, just leave em here. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 01:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Your suggestion for an archive really helped, thanks for teaching me something new [[User:Me101|Me101]] 01:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
:No worries. Thanks! {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 01:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== You can haz cookie too. ==

{{Cookie|1=Dr Cory Bjornson|2=Linkthewindow|reason=for giving me a cookie for doing some checking with the massacre}}
Thanks for the cookie.  {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 05:51, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
:That was disturbingly quick :P. Thanks. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 05:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

{{Cookie|1=Janus Abernathy|2=Linkthewindow|reason=giving her her first cookie for doing some checking with the massacre}}

:Moar cookie :). {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 13:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Thanks. ==

Thanks for reverting the vandalism. --{{User:Lithedarkangel/signature}} 15:19, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== HALP! ==

The vandalism is really pissing me off now. Thad says it isn't his men. [http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7220/scr6908924ls1.jpg O rly?] Thadeous admitting he sent AT LEAST one vandal to come and mess with my page. Can I get him at A/VB with this? --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 17:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

How sad. I meant that I would stop them from vandalizing your page, nothing more. I certainly did not send anyone. I acknowledge that Skouth and Rohanzap were vandalizing but on their own movement. Good luck with putting me up at A/VB. You will need all the luck in the world.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 18:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I second Thad. I moved under my own devices with no prior talk or orders about vandalism. I worked independantly at the time and i regret it as it has thrown Thad into the proverbial hot water rather than myself. So for all intents and purposes strike the charge of ordering people to vandalise your pages from Thad. I myself have already been punished by the admins so i suggest you let sleeping dogs lie.
Yours sincerely
Rohanzap

:Please, do this elsewhere, as nothing here pertains to Linkthewindow. No, report the specific account responsible for the vandalism. {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 18:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks. Although there has been [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_01#User:Sexylegsread|a recent case]] to do with ordering people to do vandalism in real life, it's a tad different, and the result of much moar wiki drama. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 01:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


== Thanks ==
Thank's for the tip, also i kind of accidentally screwed South Blythille's danger report. Can you please change it to Dangerous for me, thanks. --[[User:Montana8|Montana8]] 12:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:Done. Your archive however, should be located in the user subspace. I've requested a move for you, but please remember that in future. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 12:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== 3 things ==

first of all, your page looks awfully awful... things just overlap eachother and i have no idea what your inactivity metter tells. And second... unlike the guy who is currently running for prom, you are one of those whom i would gladly vouch for the position. --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
:Third thing: your instructions fail. I pressed the + button and it broke your layout --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
::Are you using IE, Hagnat? (get firefox, it's so much better.) And yeah, I second what Haggy said about promotions. I'd vouch for you any day. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I am a firefox user since it was called phoenix, pestolence... --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
::::Ah, that explains a lot. I use a 1680*1050 moniter at home, which means it looks just fine. I'll look into it (I'm using a tiny laptop screen now-it's a resolution probelm.) Anyway, I'll look into that, just as I've conqured the lofty hights of complicated wiki coding. (and, yes, firefox rocks :).) The instructions fail because it's a table, and I imagine the plus button just puts it at the bottom of the page. I'll try to get my user page sorted tonight. Thanks for that. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 03:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Coding ''should'' look better now. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 03:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

:No worries. I've been meaning to do that for a while. Thanks for getting it started. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 02:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== Stealthy links ==

<span class="plainlinks">[http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Linkthewindow 1]</span>, while not as quite as convincing works too. {{User:Dr Cory Bjornson/Sig}} 06:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

==The "New" Archive System==
For A/PT, will last all of as soon as I have time to upgrade it. Monthly sucks in this case, it sucks hard.

::More like it was something he was doing, agreed it would create tons of useless or ridiculously small pages, and then chose to ignore the fact that he was advised against it because the current system worked better.

== Nemesis 645 ==

We're convinced this is the Umbrella impersonator. He recently joined our forums less than a week ago and we see strong evidence that this is indeed the character that has been performing all these slanders and vandalizing the wiki. We at Umbrella Corporation ask that this member be put into heavy investigation before he vandalizes again, this time the Umbrella wiki page. We are soon to ban him for his involvement and would appreciate any protection possible for our wiki pages. -Jackson
:Hmm... If you are ''really'' concerned about your pages, then [[A/PT|request a protection,]] but unfortunately, a vandal case on grounds like that probably wouldn't get through (my opinion, and I'm not a sysop.) Ether way, I'll revert anything I see via Recent Changes and inform A/VB. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 09:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

== Impersonation ==

At the near to the bottom of the section located [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User_talk:Leroy_Jankens#on_dealing_with_TZH here], obifirefighter has changed his name as an insult to mine. I proceded by changing what he put as "Leroy Stupids" after a message implying that it was myself doing the typing, back to obi. He then changed it back to "Leroy Stupids." Would this be considered impersonation on his account? --[[User:Leroy jankens|Leroy jankens]] 18:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
