Quest Items
I see you have started making pages of quest items, like I do sometimes. But you have had some mistakes in those pages, so let me correct them:


 * The article must be started by explaining the item and what it is, like: "Tribal totem is a quest item used in Tribal Totem quest. It is..." but not like this: "It is Ranuki Tribes and was stolen by..."
 * You have left some of the infobox item template's spots open, even if they're obvious. Please add everything you know. (I mean that it's members-only quest, and you didn't add the info is it a member item.)
 * You don't have to italize the examine text, and please add dot "." in the end.
 * The category for quest items is Category:Quest items, not Quest item.

You can look to Tribal totem (item) article that I edited. Thank you! 08:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Now you're doing very nicely there! =D But you really should make an user page: User:Pointy. Keep up the good work! 12:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Omg, I just praised you and instanly i found a mistake. You really should add links to those articles which you make. Somebody else has done it for you but when you make a quest item article, you really should go to that quest article and add there a link to that item. 12:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Which one was that? If I've got a few items from a particular quest then I'm creating all the item articles before I update the main quest article to avoid creating hundreds of revisions. They might have found it half way through while I was still creating item articles. Pointy 12:35, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * If you're talking about Recruitment Drive, that IP address is me. I must have either used a window that wasn't logged in or it somehow didn't resolve my name. Pointy 13:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok then, but I'll take Relic part 1 now. When it's members-only quest, it's obvious that the item is members-only, then why don't you add information about members item? Same thing with tradable section, quest items aren't tradable! I already fixed it but in Watchtower article there's no links to them. You need to add them. 11:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Katshuma. I'm currently working on the Watchtower article. I've added about a dozen or more links to articles so look out for the update in a short while. It'll contain links to all the new articles I'm creating. It's probably best to wait a couple of hours after I've stopped creating articles before double-checking my work as I tend to go back and check things again once I've made the bulk of the changes. I suppose I should have put a 'undergoing major revisions' tag on the Watchtower article while I was working, so my bad there. Pointy 11:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't add members and tradable info as I haven't actually tried passing the items to a non-member. I didn't want to inadvertently enter incorrect information by making an assumption. If we're ok with saying that all members-only quest items are definitely members-only items and are definitelt non-tradable then I'm happy to go back and fix that in all of the articles I've created. My primary goal here was to avoid entering incorrect information. Pointy 11:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * And you still should make user page. 11:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not quite sure what I'd put on it. Pointy 11:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your feedback, by the way. If my comments sound confrontational then I apologise - I'm simply trying to explain my actions, and it's probably the text-only nature of the web that makes it sound like that. Pointy 11:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not incorrect, if it's a members quest, then you don't need to try test if it is non-members, just put that it's members and it's not tradable. 14:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Omg, I noticed another thing. Yeah, you should just put every members-quest quest items to they are members and no tradable, and if you then add link to them from quest article you're doing very fine, but 2 very important things: Tell me where do you get those images, and whenever you answer, ask or tell me or anybody other something, please reply on his/her user talk page, so he/she notices it easily. If you answer here, we don't get the information, I once put wrong things here, because I didn't think that you would answer here and didn't notice. 14:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The images come directly from screenshots of the items in my inventory. I then retouch them in a graphics package to remove the background and drop shadow before uploading them. I've been collecting them for a couple of months now so I'm clearing a bit of a backlog - I've still got about 90 more to work through and create articles for. Pointy 15:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Photos.
Thanks on the Photos, remember The King of Fakes pities the foo who doesn't use png as a main file type! Blankothe3rd

Re: Alco-Chunks
Feel free to change it back. I simply inferred that since Pineapple chunks give nothing (tested and tried) that Alco-chunks gave nothing as well. -- 22:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Userboxes revisited
Hello. Thank you for attempting to help me solve my userbox problem. I would like to see the point you've reached so far. If you could show me the javascript, that would be very nice. Once again, thank you. Dtm142 17:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, thanks anyway. You can upload it whenever you're ready.  Once again, thank you for helping me. Dtm142 01:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * IT WORKS!!!! Thank you!!!  I've added the button to my userpage.  I'm going to attempt to edit the MediaWiki page so that everyone can see it.  Then I'll be able to add more userboxes. Dtm142 18:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added the code to MediaWiki:monobook.js. Now any user, registered or not, can see the show/hide button.  If they have the code in their own monobook.js file, they'll get two show/hide buttons. Dtm142 19:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Well done
Well done on your editing spree of items today! Korak 09:59, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Makeover Voucher
Just created a stub for the makeover voucher, and I notice that you have already uploaded the graphic for this item, and have it marked on your list of articles to write. Please feel free to add to the draft stub. :-) Best wishes.  Leevclarke 23:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Nomination.
You have been nominated for adminship. Please accept and sign in the request, as you definitely deserve it. Tarikochi 00:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the nfa :-). It'll be interesting to see what people think. Oh, and let me know when you've uploaded you latest animations and I'll put some into articles... Pointy 00:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear you accepted. And sure, I'll let ya know, and thanks for that.  That in itself adds to the list of reason why you should become an admin :p.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 00:50, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Combatting Vandalism
I don't think that two rollbacks is really enough for me to say you have done alot of work against vandalism. I find dealing with vandalism a very important ste of adminship so if I don't see alot of familiority in that area then I won't give you a support. I am very harsh when it comes to dealing with vandalism so I will change my vote after I see some more rollbacks/problem reports etc.... --Whiplash 15:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Before I forget..
I'm not gonna count the chickens before they hatch, or whatever the saying is, but I'm afraid I'll forget if I don't mention this now. It appears you know a lot about wikia and wikipedia, so I don't know if you're aware of this page, but if/when you win your RfA, I'm positive you could use this page: Special:MultipleUpload. I'll feel silly if you knew of it anyways, but here you go. Good luck on the nomination, I've decided I'm going to [try to] stay out of these. Cheers. Christine Talk 21:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Log in =P I'm aware you can't see it, but it contains about 10 upload spaces rather than just the one that normal users get. Not many more, but certainly saves a ton more time. Christine Talk 22:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
