Images
Hey, Whiplash! When you are uploading maps and screenshots, please upload them in .PNG format. Jpegs make them loose mush of their detail and generally just screw up the picture. Thank you! -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  17:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:Holy Grail
Rather than leaving a message saying you're writing it (which achieves nothing, really) you can make early drafts of guides and such in here. Yep, right there - just go ahead and make your own sandbox. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 19:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's always a good idea if you're writing a big article to do it in your own sandbox first. You can always put an "Under Construction" tag on the page with a temporary link to your sandbox whilst you work on it.  Oh, and good work by the way =) --Eucarya 21:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Legendary characters
The role of this category is more or less filled by Category:Unseen characters. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 20:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It is, in a way, its own category, but almost all unseen characters are legendary characters - the two categories would be almost identical. Mmm...I'll write this up on Category talk:Legendary Characters and see what everyone else has to say. Don't just assume that, becuase I say it, it's right.

Re:Dessous picture
Any picture anyone uploads to the wiki is available for anyone to use; you don't need to ask. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 09:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, don't ask - just use it!!! And thanks --Eucarya 09:11, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

New articles
Thank you for all the new articles you've made! However, can I point out a couple of things...


 * 1) Make sure that the name of the subject of the article is in bold the first time it is mentioned. (instead of "Lesarkus is encountered while doing the Temple of Ikov quest.", do "Lesarkus is encountered while doing the Temple of Ikov quest.")
 * 2) Don't thumbnail pictures in infoboxes. Thumbnails are used when we need to manipulate images and add captions, but this is not necessary in infoboxes.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work! JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 18:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcomes
Nice work on welcoming people! Just one minor thing; when you greet them, indicate to them our style policy. They're gonna have to read it sooner or later. :) Thanks again. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  17:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * erm...attack on a user? -.- Melvnatic 00:03, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * oh, if ur talking bout the guy with 7 accounts, that wasn't an attack...he's still my friend, although im not even sure it's legal to have more than one account...removed nevertheless Melvnatic 00:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Delete
A few users made articles on the pumpkin helmet thing today, which you correctly stated were superfluous and asked to delete. But don't forget the Redirect! Hyenaste talk 21:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete
If you want a speedy delete, place on the article, rather than. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 16:22, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Redirect
To redirect, type #REDIRECT Article name on the article which you want to become the redirect. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 20:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Templates
Whiplash, thanks for correcting me, how did you edit your templates and find them.-Milldog 93 03:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Censoring talk pages
You can't just change people's comments like this. Tell them off if you disapprove, and if you feel strongly enough start a forum somewhere saying you want a rule set that censors talk pages. Such a rule does not exist yet...in fact, we don't have many rules at all...Hmm, there's a thought... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 16:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if you do take action and there's a rule for it, make sure you refer (even if it's just two words) to the rule in the edit summary, or on the talk page of the change you made. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: That word
Ok, I've crossed it out :) We're not really supposed to change what's been said in discussions. But I'll try to keep it clean from now on. Honest. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  20:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Sysop Rights

 * User "Whiplash" is now a sysop

You now have sysop rights!!! This means that you can rollback easier, block users, protect pages and do a few other things. Some notes


 * Do keep an eye on recent changes, watching for potential vandalism attacks
 * If you are going to block someone, please show restraint - a lot of people use shared IP addresses, so a block for a day is normally best. Vandals get bored easily, but we need contributors from everywhere =)
 * Add the CVU page to your watchlist. If another non-sysop notices vandalism, and updates that page, you should see it and deal appropriately with whoever's causing the damage.
 * Finally, keep up the good work - we still need lots of content!! And congratulations again on being sysoped.

There's some notes around somewhere about administrator duties, I'm sure you can find them, and congratz again =) --Eucarya 00:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Deleting articles
I've got no problem with you deleting the articles you deleted today, just please try to give deletion summary-things. "not enough content" is probably good enough. :) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, will do. --◙▲╛Whiplash ◙▲╛ 16:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice work
Nice work on adding that template :) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  21:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok
Well, ok, but, I will still create the article Archer Helmet and Warrior Helmet if thats fine. Emosworld 20:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * OK then, I'll remove it. Emosworld 20:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Categories for the 99 skills
Why did you change them? It would make much more sense the way it was before than having pointless categories with 1 link.  Dreadnought talk 00:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

User page
Your user page is quite messy! To show the power of userboxes and organizations, I made a version of your page where your templates were sorted into a userbox area. Tak a look at it here, and if you like the set-up go ahead and revert back to it. Also, it would be helpful if you did not subst: your templates; that way, they are easier to manage and update. Thank you! -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  23:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I know im proud of it looks better than my room though o.O. --◙▲╛Whiplash ◙▲╛ 02:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Re:User:24.34.93.37
Nope. But more than one person can use the same IP adress (Shared computers or networks, etc) or they may have changed their ways. Besides....It's easier to block an acount than it is to block an IP. Names are more memorable. :) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  08:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
