feel da powaa

when are you going to join the cool kids and come to the sysop side ? In april you asked for a few days, i guess that by now you got plenty of 'em. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 21:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

and your talk page needs a new archive. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 21:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
you're right, it does need archiving, doesn't it... and, while i'm playing again after a little break... i'm really not as interested or able to spend anywhere near as much time here as i was before, especially in regards to wiki drama, etc. in a way, that might be a good thing: i'm pretty distant from the drama etc., and plan to stay that way... however, if i was going to do the sysop thing, i'd be a "sporadic" sysop... --WanYao 20:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Your's is a voice i could trust with the banhammer and other tools, and one i would like to hear, even if only sporadically. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 22:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Wiki questions

Hey, noticed you seem to handle a lot of the editing on the Dunell Hills and surrounding suburb pages, so figured it'd be best to ask you first: Where is the changing of suburb danger levels actually done? Does it show in the history? I've looked in recent history for both the suburb page itself, and the suburb danger map, but can't see where it's changed. I am a relative wiki amateur however so it might be right under my nose. Just curious as to how I'd determine who changed the suburb level if they didn't leave a note in the recent news section. Thanks -- Peter McGrady  FoD 01:32, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Aha! Knew it'd be somewhere obvious. Thanks for that. -- Peter McGrady  FoD 04:53, 22 October 2008 (BST)

That can't be good...

I was gonna ask you where you been all my life, then i checked your contribs and noticed you'd only been gone 4 days...how'd you miss out on all the 2 Cool bashing that was going on? It would have been right up your alley too...--xoxo 06:32, 17 October 2008 (BST)

ah j3d, see... see how much you love me? i always said... it was only a matter of time before you saw the light... however, i'm not coming back to this "skene" in any major capacity for a long time. if ever. which means you couldbeat that 3-d repair record we share... which i have to fucking post someday, hmnnnnnnn... --WanYao 06:49, 17 October 2008 (BST)
You? 134? I find that difficult to believe. This skene needs you more than ever, know that we'll always have each other, you can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella. But yeah, why the ditching? --xoxo 11:28, 17 October 2008 (BST)

Great Fire ambiguity

Hey as one of the wikizens around here that has a background with ALiM projects that goes back before the purge, we'd greatly appreciate if you went here and testified. We are asking for witnesses who can confirm the fact that the page, Great Fire of 1912 was indeed created by and largely moderated by myself and User:J3D. The task of claiming our creation over the page is complicated by the fact that no history is available to back up our claim due to the history purge. Thanks for you time.--Nallan (Talk) 08:27, 11 October 2008 (BST)

Mall FAK Rates

Seem to be around 1/5....compile some data on it!--xoxo 12:48, 9 October 2008 (BST)

something like that. shit... i decide to quit UD and all this rawking shit takes place. i should quit UD more often! :) --WanYao 07:08, 10 October 2008 (BST)
Hospital search rates seem about the same, as do gun store search rates. --Jen 03:24, 11 October 2008 (BST)

Building Statuses

I've noticed you've been changing the status of malls to "unknown" if they haven't been updated in two weeks. What's your opinion on buildings in general, that haven't had their status changed in ages? Like, say...this one or this one? Also, there's some buildings that don't even have one of those templates - would it be worthwhile, do you think, to remove "building status" from any non-TRP/non-mobile phone mast buildings, at the very least? As those rarely, if ever get updated, and have no real reason to be updated as things stand? (Well..unless they're the headquarters of group...but those are pretty rare). And in either case...if anyone wants to report the current status of a building, there's also the "current news/current status" subheadings on the page, too. --Jen 03:34, 7 October 2008 (BST)

...is there any reason why pages such as this can't just be deleted from the wiki? Please? They're clutter. Occasionally-updated utterly useless CLUTTER. Maybe that's not a reason for deleting them...but WHY THE HELL were they created in the first place???? The TRP, yeah, I can understand those. But generic buildings, with NO unique history? WHY???? --Jen 07:56, 7 October 2008 (BST)
Some of the wiki's more betterer contributors, including those over at ALiM are trying to lolify some of the stub locations to improve the wiki for everyone. Unfortunately some people are out to stop the wiki from being a better place, see 2 Cool intro paragraph for more info. Anyway they exist for whenever anyone does need to add something to one.--xoxo 11:24, 7 October 2008 (BST)
Please don't use my Talk page for this, J3D. And, Jen, the wiki is pretty piecemeal and inconsistent... And people don't even update malls regularly, NTs and other resource buildings are even worse... But, unless a number of people decide to get rid of Status Reports for non-descripts (which I support in principle, I think), it's probably just goinf to stay the way it is... --WanYao 13:00, 7 October 2008 (BST)
Hmm...how would one go about rallying support for getting rid of Status Reports for non-descripts? --Jen 22:22, 8 October 2008 (BST)
Just delete them off, i doubt anyone would notice. If they did then tell 'em to update it more often, chances are they'll either oblige or let you delete. Leave NT ones though, some of them are updated from time to time.--xoxo 23:36, 8 October 2008 (BST)
Deleting the "status report" thing off the page would only be a superficial fix. Though not one I'm averse to making. Ideally...I'd want to get rid of all the Status Report templates for non-TRP buildings. (Hmm...if I deleted it off the page...would that then make it an unused template, and viable for deletion? *Jen plots evilly*) --Jen 23:45, 8 October 2008 (BST)
Now you're thinking like an evil genius! Just put the subpages all up for deletion, rally the troops (ie me and wan) to vote, then someone else has to do the work of actually going through and deleting them all. Or just do the unused template way, either works :) --xoxo 12:03, 9 October 2008 (BST)

ALiM's Birthday Party

You've been cordially invited to attend ALiM's birthday party at Club Head at 10am GMT on the 18th of October. Festivities will last for a full 24 hours. See here for more details.--Nallan (Talk) 02:16, 7 October 2008 (BST)

What happened???

Has this ever happened to you before? I couldn't use my FAK. And it ate my last FAK, to boot. --Jen 01:06, 6 October 2008 (BST)

Oo thats cool, was it on the 60hp or the 45? Either way unfortunate your FAK got goned :( --xoxo 01:28, 6 October 2008 (BST)
Hmm...actually, it's not cool, as several of the Philosophes have explained to me. *sigh* I've been inordinately careful about avoiding stuff like this, too...it's NOT MY FAULT! *crosses her fingers, runs far, FAR away, and hopes that she's not cursed for life.* --Jen 03:49, 6 October 2008 (BST)
I have no idea why you're coming to me with this stuff!!! :) --WanYao 13:01, 7 October 2008 (BST)
'Cause your awesome and know cool stuff and doesn't afraid of anything. ;) --Jen 22:21, 8 October 2008 (BST)

UDWiki:Image Categorisation

Come on Wan! Me having to tell you where something is on the wiki? You're slipping old man. What what? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:43, 12 August 2008 (BST)

stressful fucking day. i don't wanna think! ;P
I normally dont even cat the images if they arent being used, and then ask a sysop to delete them after two weeks. Its a scheduled deletion or something--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:21, 12 August 2008 (BST)
Category:Unused Images is actually decently helpful. Even if we also have a Special page that does the same thing. It keeps the image out of the way of the other people categorizing images.--Karekmaps?! 22:41, 12 August 2008 (BST)
