:Well, it looks like Hagnat beat me to it. I'll like to take a few moments to tell you what you are doing wrong, and hopefully give you a hand. Hey, as a member of [[Project Welcome]], it's my job! There are a few things that you have been doing wrong. In no particular order:
'''Group pages ALWAYS go in a group subspace'''- that means that you post pages about you group in their subspace (yourgroup/whatever.) This keeps the wiki nice and tidy and means that names don't get used up. Imagine how many people would need a page such as [[Pker list]]! The same goes for group pages as well (User:Soldier/whatever.) Note that pages posted outside a group subspace are usually speedy deleted (very quickly!) If you have a long group page that needs shorting, use [www.tinyurl.com tinyurl].
'''The administrators are here to help you!''' - It seems that you got off to a bad start with the mods on the wiki, especially [[User:Boxy|Boxy]] and [[User:Krazy Monkey|Cheese]]. Remember that the admins are trusted wiki users, and they usually won't act in bad faith. Also try to act humbly towards other wiki users. It's not a rule, but it means that you don't case too much drama (drama=bad. It's still common, though.)
'''Act in good faith <u>always</u>''' - this is hard to explain, but it's a central rule of the wiki. It means giving fellow wiki users the benefit of the doubt, solving simple misunderstandings via talk-page discussion and mediation (in extreme cases, taking it to [[A/A|arbitration,]]) not just by edit warring.
Two final, minor things. Keep wiki disputes to the wiki. Adding someone onto your KOS list because they upset you on the wiki just makes you look stupid. Sorry, can't put it any softer. Also, try to see consensus before doing something.
If you need any help, post on my [[User talk:Linkthewindow|talk page]], any [[Project Welcome]] member's page, or go to the [[Help]] section.

Discussion

Hello everyone, this is my talk page. In order how to use it you must do it like this:

Example:

Before you start to make a comment, put a Level 2 Headline with your name on it making your own section. Then you do the following:

09/03/08: This is how you put your comment on my talk page.

Additional Notes: This is where you put Additional notes means you decide to add more details to the subject.

This shoulden't be too hard, if you have any questions on anything just asked. Also a new policy, old sections will be deleted in sight after a few months so I don't want any complaints about it.

Ryan Shuck

I am perhaps now unsuitable for the group.

This is my rap-sheet http://www.ud-malton.info/rg/i/1209618.

The doctors say I've gone insane.

If you still want me tell me your location and we can perhaps plan a return of the Special Zombie Extermination Squad


Hey dude I read your log. What don't you understand, I've gone insane, loop the loop, crackers, whacky, mental. Do you really want a psycho in your group? User: Ryan Shuck
Okay I'll try and make it a bit clearer, when playing Urban Dead I am in character, the Ryan Shuck character is insane an a PKer with a bounty of well over 100. Do you really want someone like this in your group? User: Ryan Shuck 28th August 14:14 (BST)
The truth is I find it funnier to kill people, 'cause I know how annyoin it is for people to come on Urban Dead and see there character has been killed, it's more annying for them when it is by a fellow player. I cannot be strightened out and I am clinically insane with no way back, I have killed well in excess of 20 people and hav only been killed once, I like my odds. So there it is, and I don't think I am suitable for the group as I am over level 20 and I think you are lower level. Please reply. User: Ryan Shuck 29th August 20:28 (BST)
Oh you've reported me on the radio have you? And have you reported the PK? Advice for you warn the rest of the group that I'll get them sooner or later. Yea the bounty hunters may get me, but it was fun while it lasted eh? More advice tell whoever it was that asked you all to go to Giddings Mall to be a little more secretive in future, I wouldn't have got you if it wasn't for that mindless idiot. Also you have me listed as insane, the highest danger level, no-one else is as big a danger to your group as me, so I request you move the other person listed as insane down a level. User: Ryan Shuck 6th September 20:42 (BST)

Ahh you couldn't even kill me as a zombie, what a noob! And you violate the scared ground policy, douche! User: Ryan Shuck 12th September 20:00 (BST)

SZES

Hey, Soldier. I'm still interested in joining the Special Zombie Extermination Squad. Could you give me some details please? Thanks!-- Ωmega360 Small septagon.gifT 13:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, but I had to move. The building was constantly under attack. I moved 1 suburb west, in a building called "The Hebditch Building". It's a NT. -- Ωmega360 Small septagon.gifT 13:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, lol, sorry I forgot to put that in my last post. Sure you can put my name in the article, I don't mind. :)-- Ωmega360 Small septagon.gifT 13:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey man, I've got my hands full right now, all my chars have already groups BUT you can list me as an "associate"/supporter/ally you know... something like that... and we can do some coordinated stuff once in a while. Balls! --Obi + Talk!|TZH|MDK 00:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Eric Bessette

08/31/08: Thank you for the heads up soldier. I will keep an eye out, and of ever you need our help, don't hesitate to ask.

09/03/08: Soldier, truthfully I'm still recruiting, trying to pick up the numbers we once had. Ive set an HQ put out radio broadcasts, and graffiti places with info on my group. Also make sure your group page is informative.

09/15/08 I have, too, been PK'd 2 times ina a series of days, im in need of revive and to gather my group back, shit hit the fan in The 'Side, it was most unexpected. im sorry, once i get things figured out, i will try to help, for now i need to get rev'd, my sincerest appologies. --Eric bessette 23:18, 15 September 2008 (BST)

OF COURSE! Soldier, sorry it took so long to respond, i had no internet for a while. but hell yeah, how am i gonna deny an ex-AZS member? our groups can do great things together, and the AZS has been missing your scouting skills. lets make this official. I'm gonna put your groups banner on my and my groups page.--Eric bessette 21:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

So, like a DEM kinda thing? So a grouping of groups like the DEM? i lik ethe idea, ill have to talk it over with janus though, see what she has to say. and you should join the AZS forums on our AZS group page.

User:rosslessness

Why not? What do i need to do? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:40, 5 September 2008 (BST)

Sure, Ive just been away, Ill sort it out by tomorrow. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:55, 8 September 2008 (BST)

Right. In terms of ingame involvement I'm going to decline. I'm pretty busy with my IP hits and the like.

HOWEVER. I more than willing to help out on the wiki, double checking editing, improving pages, discussions with other groups, suggesting page layouts etc. You're active and organised which is good, you just need some help especially in dealing with the PK. Send me a message if theres anything you need help with. I'd hate you to turn into another tomer. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:52, 23 October 2008 (BST)

RH

Two things. First, you have a template up claiming that you're an arbiter - a wiki arbiter. Just thought I'd throw that out there, since you're... well... not. (Or, if by some magical chance, you've become an arbiter, you need to update the arbitration page. However, as I'd guess, you're not. So, yeah. Might want to clean that up.) Second, run your friggin' pages through a spelling and grammar checker, please. It really is that bad. It's about professionalism - I mean, if I intend on hunting down you and your fellow group members, I could only hope that all parties involved could look good doing it.

User:Angusburger|Angusburger

Thanks for the invite and compliments but no, I do not want to join. Since most of my characters have under 10 skills, I wont be joining any group in the future... --Angusburger 20:56, 25 October 2008 (BST)


Hello there

I am Haliman111, Colonel of the UBCS. I just want to give you a few pointers for a moment. Your group, SZES, will have a difficult time evolving until you make a forum. Once you make a forum, I would like to request an alliance.

My group is the Umbrella Biohazard Containment Service. Make an account on my forum. --Haliman - Talk 22:01, 25 October 2008 (BST)

No problem. Always here to help an up and coming group! --Haliman - Talk 02:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
This is not what I meant by a forum. I meant this. --Haliman - Talk 03:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

New Recruitment page

Try this new recruitment page Suburb Recruitment.--Gamerman191 01:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Cutey Pie!

Soldier UDW is so cute! DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Janus Abernathy

Hey there Soldier. Happy to see you've got your group also in Borehamwood. I've got three characters there (2 surv and 1 zed). Hope to meet you in the new city. Cheers :] --Janus Abernathy 19:07, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

11/11/08: Man I'm in the suburb you told me. If you get killed just tell me your coordinates, 'kay (talk page or forum ==> register and send me a pm)? I'll revive you immediately. --Janus Abernathy 19:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

11/15/08: No, no no, I'm sorry. I meant to say the AZS forum. I just wanted to know if you regged there, because we have a new user (and we don't know him). Anyway, we'd be happy to have you on our forum if you get the time to register. Cheers --Janus Abernathy 14:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

AZS

It's me again. Would you like to make an alliance with the Anti-Zombie Squad? It feels kind of strange asking you this, since you were a member ;) What do you think? Cheers mate --Janus Abernathy 22:11, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me a great idea! Eric can't be online these days because of RL issues, but I agree to wait his approval. Cheers man, and thanks again. --Janus Abernathy 13:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Pranks

Your pranks page has been moved here -- boxy talkteh rulz 01:43 21 November 2008 (BST)

And again ^^ -- boxy talkteh rulz 01:19 22 November 2008 (BST)

Rico Montoya

11/22/08: I am interested in joining Z.E.M.A. If I could get info on how I could signup that would be great. Thank you.--Rico Montoya 16:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

ZEMA

You said you were trying to keep the page so you could have a shorter link to recruit in-game? If so there's always tinyurl which is what most groups use in that situation.--Karekmaps?! 02:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey, if you need any help sorting out your pages, feel free to contact me on my talk page. All group related stuff should be kept in subpages, it seems you're mostly sorted but if you are confused about anything, drop by my crib.--xoxo 05:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

In future, please use Speedy Deletions

It appears (quite plainly) that you want this page deleted. In future please use Speedy Deletions if you want one of your own pages, or a group page, deleted. I've put it up there for you, for now, but please do it yourself in future.

Thanks. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

knowledge is half the battle

"knowledge is half the battle" would say a famous soldier. Well, it seems you are losing that half, and making a joke out of yourself.

a month ago you offered me a chance to join your group. I'm a known pk'er and zombie centric player, while you group fight both of 'em. This information is on my user page, and it's not hard to find it.

you complained about boxy moving your group's subpage to the proper location, saying you'd "prosecute" him if he didnt stop. a) you are the one at fault, placing your group subpages in the incorrect location b) its boxy job to move incorrectly placed pages in the right location. c) do not threaten someone who is active in a community longer than you learned to use the interwebs! you might as well paint a damn target on your back.

and finally, you just advertised your group in the News page, where only information about the game is shown. You should've posted your ad in Recruitment.

If you want to play as a 'soldier', you better learn the rules of the battlefield you intend to fight on. Or you'll make yourself an easy target for ridicule. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 22:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
