Rofl joke
Dude, that's the most horrible RS-joke I've ever heard! But you dó have a nice userpage.--. 11:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

(Wikibreak sign)
Jake.

Your Wikibreak header is to large, would you mind changing the size or deleting it. You do not need the Wikibreak header any longer.

RE: Timer
Thanks geek. We should get you into beauty and the geek i'd put you in the geek section lol. Did you change the spelling mistake? Geek, you should do it. :-)

From Your sister.

P.s that rofl joke....To anyone who still thinks its disgusting...Its really my brother name.

Welcoming users
Thanks for all your awesome welcomes to the new users of RuneScape Wiki. As such, I'm just here to tell you something I never did either when I first began welcoming users, lol. When adding the welcome template, could you please insert "Subst:" before the word "welcome" as this is strongly recommend for all welcomes as rather then showing the template in the edit screen it shows the source code instead which is better for future customization it more personal :S 10:29, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You can keep your own welcomming-template (i have my own too), but instead of typing could you instead type  ? You'll see the difference.  10:37, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Link colour
Thanks =). 11:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Vote
Thanks Ruud, for yer vote! I appreciate it. . 10:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi Ruud! I changed the code of your signature, it contained a typo, which was causing trouble! (Hope you don't mind). 16:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Do you use this for spelling correction?
I don't actually go out of my way to look for spelling mistakes to fix. Instead, normally I will search the wiki for the American spelling of a word (such as "leveling") and just go through the results, fixing any mistakes I see. In general, if a page has American spelling on it then it has probably not been checked for spelling. I use the style guide and my own common sense to find some common words to search for. 01:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Interview?
By all means, go ahead and interview me. I would be honoured. I am wondering what kind of questions you thought of...

I realise that my second part of the interview with Powers failed. I might try to resolve it now. 10:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not sure. I have a hotmail account though I created it nearly 10 years ago and have not used it since then. If that counts as an MSN thing, then yes I do. 11:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, I just managed to log in. I am not fully sure what to do, you would have to guide me through everything. 11:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Add contacts where?? In hotmail?? In msn?? in live?? Also, my email is "turner_matthew@hotmail.com". 11:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I kinda had that impression of India... 10:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This conversation is getting weird . But yes, of course. Are you going to tell me that India doesn't (I wouldn't be overly surprised....)? 11:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops..what does RFPWFTS stand for? 11:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I removed that. That was the reason why I deleted some of the earlier revisions of my userpage. 11:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Evil yanks interview
After tweaking it a bit, I have posted the interview in the RSWP here. Thanks for contributing. 12:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Reverted vandalism
umm marigolds actually were worth around 500k when i updated that. i think sum1 port-jacked a couple of servers and re-routed them to a server of theres and made the change. o and it was done to marigolds because like 600 ppl where actively merching them, privately and in clans.

Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd are awesome! Wish you were here is one of my favourite albums  07:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Cows
If you're wondering about the validity of those edits, well, I'd think that they're correct, seeing as cows do occupy more than one square, and are thus considered to be big monsters. 12:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Cows are leet. 12:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Wikielves
Not so. Look how many there are of us without userboxes stating our status as WikiElves. 18:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Southwests all gone
Congrats, that is much further then I got. Now only southeast, northeast, northwest, northeastern, southeastern, southwestern and northwestern to go. I might try to change an easy one later today. 04:11, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I might fix north-western now. Btw, I tick the "this is a minor edit" box when I fix minor spelling. I once had a recent changes patroller ask me to do it so the edits don't clog up recent changes. 11:01, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have always though that I would forget that I turned it on, then mark everything minor  11:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have already started on Southwestern, already done most of the larger pages. 11:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Be careful when changing spelling not to create Wanted pages. You created 3 for South-eastern Sea, though I redirected it. 09:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't feel forced to fix spelling mistakes, you should do it out of choice rather then as a chore. If it is becoming boring, then just take a break from fixing them. 10:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * British spelling is a hobby to me to, though I have been falling behind the last month. I don't plan on ever taking a wiki break. Right now I have put all wiki goals on standstill while I post on the forums, that is how I plan on catching up on my lack of post the last few months. It is working. 10:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You will be sorely missed for those 2 days. 10:57, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought that your soon-to-be wikibreak will only last for 2 days. 11:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You were. Based on the average amount of time that a Ruud wikibreak lasts then the next wikibreak should last for approx 2 days. 11:05, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The English language is very fun. I have now thoroughly confused myself as a result of the English language  05:06, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mountain
K2 and Godwin Austin are the same mountains. I just saw it called Godwin Austin once and thought that it was such an awesome name that I remembered it. 11:03, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * I should have sources on my answers. The largest country thing is indecisive. 11:14, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * I want an invitation to your Quiz when you make it. On your music list, I like about half the artists and have not listened to the other half but want to! In the words of me earlier today: "White Stripes FTW!!" 11:54, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Said this a min after you made the quiz =P 11:55, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5/5! I only 100% knew two, the other 3 were educated guesses.  12:01, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Never listened to System of a down. Are they good??
 * I knew Pink Floyds first album, and knew the Phil Lynott one by knowing the lead of the other three bands. 12:05, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't imagine Degen to be a System fan... I should get one of their albums. Which one do you prefer?? I gtg now btw. 12:10, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Favorite Soad stuff
I rarely have a single favorite track by a band, as in this case. I will say that I love the metal sound in Toxicity a very deal.--Degenret01 04:46, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Mountain was becoming cramped
I found that quiz impossibly hard, they were on bands that I had never listened to. I only got 3 out of 11 right. I can't believe that I picked the wrong Who member, I knew that they both played guitars. I might make a music quiz later. 07:31, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems a bit Smashing Pumpkinsey. I like it, I might go look for hypnotize on eBay now! 07:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Schoolgirl
Of course. 12:39, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

New Quiz!
I made a music quiz! Music quiz here! 07:51, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Even the one about which song is not on my iPod?? Congrats! I really do hope that someone gets the first question wrong, thinking that Elton John in a member of the Beatles. 07:56, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good way of guessing. I had real trouble picking an album which would be logical on the list. And I never realised that it is possible to edit conflict yourself  08:01, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * lol. I have to have dinner now anyway. 08:09, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I will, though it would probably be a long time until I make it. It wont be on music though. 10:06, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, will do! 06:39, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't really have any one Guitar Solo that I like the most. Jack White does make some of the great noises out of his guitar though. And, Thanks  01:40, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comefortably numb does have a great guitar solo. I feel like listening to "The Wall" now... 10:08, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a sign, my brain is psychically connected to you RSW account so that I can sense when it logs on. Or maybe it is a coincidence. 10:12, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Quest Log
Thanks. -- 13:02, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

GF :(
I fell for my own trick? How? Why? Lol nvm!! Meanie. Here's a video of 2 girls who got rick rolled, they get soo Pee'd off  15:35, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Lol [this] page needs fixing plox 15:19, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

The White Stripes??
Someone else apart from me talked to you so now our conversation does not flow! The horror! Anyway, I have lots of trouble picking just one White Stripes song over the rest. I could only narrow it down to 3 songs: Blue Orchid - Get Behind Me Satan, I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) - Get Behind Me Satan and A Martyr For My Love For You - Icky Thump.

That was very hard to do. All the remaining songs are such different songs that it would be impossible to compare them to each other. 08:40, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I never really understood why powers did that. It is just as easy to talk at the bottom of the page, and you would be less likely to miss their post. What is your favourite White Stripes album?? I prefer listening to whole albums at a time, rather then individual songs for some reason. I just enjoy it more that way  09:42, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, I go the other way. I prefer their later albums such as Get Behind Me Satan and Icky Thump. I think that those two albums are number 1 and 2 most played on my iPod currently. 09:59, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried listening to them once, but couldn't get into them. I probably should try again. 05:38, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am going to listen to them again now. I know what you mean about the Beatles though, Everything on Let It Be is either increadibly good or horribly bad. Very inconsistant. 05:08, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Redirects
I've never heard of players spelling it that way, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt then. 12:52, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing. I thought that you might have made an error, and was checking (so giving you the benefit of the doubt is saying that you're not mistaken, you're correct). Jumping at me like that isn't very polite. 13:00, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, alright then. Looks like I misinterpreted your tone . 13:05, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Language
Yeah, I suppose. Along with Chinese. 10:22, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm fluent in both, but my mastery in English is much greater than my mastery of Chinese. 10:28, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

RE:Community discussion
I understand your reasons. However, you should keep in mind, that as an administrator, you will be expected and will have to participate in community discussions. You should be able to deal with "Requests for closure" and whatnot, so unless you participate actively, I won't be able to determine that. Don't worry, I understand your message is simply for the sake of clarification. 13:32, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, regarding this statement: Many times the discussion can get heated, and I don't like getting yelled at. and I don't like crossing peoples views and ideas. As an administrator, you'll eventually meet up with rude trolls that probably will yell and shout at you. You must be able to deal with them and handle with being yelled. Hope you know what you're getting into by requesting for adminship. 13:37, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Highlighting text Via CSS
It's possible if you can edit text  insert a tag, like this:

This is some text. Highlight me! This is some text.

Resulting in:


 * This is some text. Highlight me! This is some text.

If you want to highlight certain text in an le in general, then you'll need some JavaScript to do it. I can give you the code for that but it's quite a bit longer. -- 16:41, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

Code:

/* Modified version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gary_King/comments_in_local_time.js */ $(document).ready(function {

var body = $('#bodyContent').get(0);

/** * ADD TEXT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE */ highlight_text(body, 'the'); highlight_text(body, 'to');

function highlight_text(node, search, replace) {	if (node.nodeType == 3) {		var value = node.nodeValue; var matches = value.match(search); if (matches != null) {			var node_parent_node = node.parentNode; var old_node = node; // old_node_list = node.parentNode.childNodes; for (match = 0; match < matches.length; match++) {				var position; if (after_match != null && length != null) position = after_match.search(search) + before_match.length + length; else position = value.search(search); var length = matches[match].toString.length; var before_match = value.substring(0, position); var after_match = value.substring(position + length); var span = document.createElement('span'); span.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow'; /** Apply CSS style to the highlighted element. */				span.style.color = 'black'; span.appendChild(document.createTextNode(matches[match].toString)); var new_node = document.createDocumentFragment; new_node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(before_match)); new_node.appendChild(span); new_node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(after_match));

node_parent_node.replaceChild(new_node, old_node); break; }		}	}	else {		var children = [], child = node.firstChild; while (child) {			children[children.length] = child; child = child.nextSibling; }		for (var child = 0; child < children.length; child++) highlight_text(children[child], search); } }

});

Just modify the top part to change the words that are highlighted with this script. -- 13:56, September 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, just add more lines with  at the indicated area for each word or phrase to highlight. -- 16:46, September 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem is on this line:

highlight_text(body, 'have'nt');

The single quote in the middle needs to be escaped:

highlight_text(body, 'have\'nt');

The script works for me after making this change. -- 12:44, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

RE:hmm
Yes, I am. However, I don't really edit the wiki that much like him. BTW, I am his sister, in case you're wondering how I am related to him. 10:00, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Spellchecker suggestions
I have some possible suggestions for the spell checker. How about "tranquility", "mobilizing" and "RuneScape". They are both very common because of Garden of Tranquillity and Mobilising armies and RuneScape is often spelt Runescape (without the capital S).

Also, does it check plurals and capitals?? If not, then everything would have to be written multiple times. Rumor, Rumors, rumor, rumors. 07:29, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Want some more?? Fremennik is constantly spelt weirdly. Fremmenik, Fremenik, Fremennick, etc. Achievements are also often spelt wrong. Acheivement, Achievment, Acheivment, etc. Tradeable is spelt tradable. There is a bot that fixed this, though I am not sure if it is still active. They are all that I can think of off the top of my head. When I go on my next SG spree, I might memorise some of the more common words. 07:50, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

RfA
I'm obviously not Bonzii but I really wouldn't recommend advertising your RfA. It's usually frowned upon and has generated reasons for opposing in past nominations. You are allowed to link it if you really want to, though. 13:52, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all. I hope that you understand why I opposed and what you can do to change my vote along with several others in the future. 13:57, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think Soldier is my stalker, lol. But, yes I agree. There is no policy against it, but I wouldn't advise doing it. 14:22, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Hello :)
Thanks for the welcome :) —Skilleto (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment.

Re:&nbsp
From what I understand, they're standard spaces (only more complicated) and are caused by the RichTextEditor. While it's not a pressing issue, it's good to replace them with a standard space. 11:52, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

re: How comes the 99?
Hi, Ruud. I'm about 30k away, just less than an hour. I'm taking a break to do some quests—I just started Swan Song— but will get it next week, I think? 12:13, October 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Crazy close. I'm excited! 12:23, October 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Still at 30k. I decided to take a break and do some quests I wanted to do. I've done Garden of Tranquility and Swan Song and just started Lunar Diplomacy. Dream Mentor next, then I'll get 99 range! 11:18, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Nice to see it happen man, good deal for you and the wiki. BTW, every time you block someone, it should not be fun. I personally feel a bit "dang, its a shame I have to but I find it necessary". In my time I found the discussions here to be interesting and insightful. Some of them anyhow. Take 3 minutes to browse it if you haven't, it will help you in your job. Congratz again man.--Degenret01 16:45, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
