Re:Square Wikia

You should have already received an email already. By now, you should get another email confirmation using Special:Preferences, I think. --Vzing 10:32, 26 December 2011 (CST)

Special:ConfirmEmail? I don't know. --Vzing 13:37, 26 December 2011 (CST)

Re:Ganesha Image missing

You do realize, that if you become an auto-confirmed user, you would be able to delete pages, right? Just saying. --Vzing 15:14, 26 December 2011 (CST)

Well, being that I am an administrator on another wiki, yes, I realize that. Icysugarspike 16:50, 26 December 2011 (CST)

Icysugarspike, you should be autoconfirmed now. If it still is not working by tomorrow, send me another message. --FlyingRagnar 20:40, 26 December 2011 (CST)

Sorry for the delay. Try again and let me know if you are still having issues. --FlyingRagnar 08:52, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Re:Help?!

Umm. Just stick it somewhere else. Its Tabber's fault. If you want that fixed, you'll have to ask Flying. --Vzing 10:13, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Using SECopyright and categorizing as you described is correct. As for the image hiding, it is best to do what Vzing suggested; just put it somewhere else on the page. Vzing doesn't really like galleries, but I think it is ok if we have an area of the page for displaying artwork all together. Generally, just do what you think looks the best and makes sense. --FlyingRagnar 10:55, 28 December 2011 (CST)

RE: King Lorik

Yeah, the new image is higher quality so use that in the infobox. However, we should keep the old artwork on the page so that it doesn't get lost. Just add an == Artwork == section to the page and move it down there. --FlyingRagnar 12:21, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Re: Tortragon

Yep, I can help. Check this out ->List of enemies with different localization names. I started it a while ago, but it isn't finished. Looks like tortragon became wyrtle. --FlyingRagnar 14:25, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Yo

If you think it is a duplicate file, just delete it yourself. You have the ability to do that, right? --Vzing 08:42, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Also delete the talk page of the deleted file... and next time, just upload a new version of the old file instead of just uploading a new file altogether. --Vzing 08:51, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Galleries

Ummm, to be honest, that is just an excuse. When the "Project" is done, make all of the galleries you want. The "Project" needs to be done first, and that will take a long long long time. Sorry. --Vzing 08:53, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Fine, make all the galleries you want, just replace them with the old galleries, and don't put any sprites in those galleries. You'll know why later. --Vzing 11:23, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Short answer: Hell no. --Vzing 11:28, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Hell yeah. Your making some mistakes, I guess, but they are all fixable. >:D --Vzing 11:32, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Re:Deletion

Why? --Vzing 13:00, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Image Credits

Hey Sir ISS, you have been doing a great job. Just wanted to mention something about image credits. For most you have been selecting the SECopyright template which is absolutely correct. But I also noticed you put "Courtesy of the Dragon's Den" in the wikitext. It is probably easier to just use [[Template:DDPermission]] instead. That makes it easier to track which images came from the Dragon's Den by checking the "what links here" page for the template. Make sense? --FlyingRagnar 17:45, 29 December 2011 (CST)

"I tried to fix it on the template page, only made it worse, then changed it back to your revision. ??????"

Next time, and I mean it, for every edit from now on, try using the "Show preview" button. If you don't, you might make a mistake, and you'll have to fix it, clogging the recent changes. --Vzing 18:14, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Also...

File:Untitled.png
There is no reason why you'll need to edit the image again once you uploaded it, if you just putted whatever you were going to put in the image originally when you were going to upload it. I hope I'm not sounding rude, though.--Vzing 18:30, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Re: Multiple Upload

You should already have access to it. It's a special page. Special:MultipleUpload. It tends to be a bit buggy, mainly when you don't fill in all the fields at once. It will display a message about not finding files, but I don't think it is anything to worry about. --FlyingRagnar 10:06, 30 December 2011 (CST)

Hey, yeah. Be careful you don't clobber old artwork with new stuff. Those 2 images were different. It's fine when you upload a higher quality image which is otherwise identical. It is much easier for us later to delete images, so if you think they might be slightly different, just give it a different name. We want as much unique stuff as possible.  ;) I'm excited to see what else you have to upload. --FlyingRagnar 10:26, 30 December 2011 (CST)

I think it is fine to upload the "better" colored version of the images. However, just leave the old revision instead of deleting it in this case. In fact, unless you find 2 images which are exactly identical (size, dimensions, coloring) don't delete the old image. We have plenty of disk space and that way we don't wonder where something went later. --FlyingRagnar 12:00, 30 December 2011 (CST)

Hey

Don't delete old revisions of an image. That is pointless aesthetically, so don't do it. :D --Vzing 15:26, 30 December 2011 (CST)

Skeleton soldiers are stronger than Skeletons. IDK really, cause I never played DQI. D: --Vzing 08:48, 31 December 2011 (CST)

Dude, I just looked at their page in Dragon Quest Wiki. It doesn't lie. Of course Skeleton Soldiers are better than regular Skeletons. --Vzing 11:39, 31 December 2011 (CST)

Re:Online Business Career Opportunities...or Dragon Quest?

You have the ability to delete pages. If you see spam like that, delete yourself. :| --Vzing 13:57, 1 February 2012 (CST)

Re: Site Slowness

I agree it is frustrating. I will contact our host and see if anything can be changed. I did a reverse IP lookup and we are currently sharing with 93 other sites. Back in August when I checked we were only sharing with about 36. There isn't much more I can do than ask though. Unfortunately, MediaWiki is somewhat resource intensive and that doesn't help. If I was willing to spend more than $70 a year on this site than I might consider upgrading, but we all have priorities.  ;) --FlyingRagnar 09:03, 16 February 2012 (CST)

Great pics

Icy, thanks for all the recent uploads. They look great. --FlyingRagnar 07:56, 2 May 2012 (CDT)
