User page
[edit]Portal style user pages seem to be becoming quite popular ( ;-) I like them too) but isn't it time that you try to fix that Wikipedia logo image? It seems to jump to the left when I look at it...unless you use a different browser...--The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 09:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC) I use Explorer, with it the image jumps past your picture for "photography for Wikipedia" and disappears. --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 09:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not the best screenshot in the world but :

- Er...I'm not sure. :( --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 00:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- I use the same browser but that doesn't happen to me. Maybe you should download IE7 or Mozilla Firefox. That's really all I can do to help, but if that doesn't help, you could always try the help desk. RyGuy 13:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortuantely, no - the same thing happens, except that now you can actually click the link which leads to a non-image space page ;) Don't worry - it may only be 1 in 100 computers. --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 07:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Addicted!
[edit]Hey AndonicO! I tied with you on the WP:HOLIC test! Whoo-hoo! That was soooooo long. Let's see, nap time to refresh, editing, lunch.... RyGuy 14:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Templates
[edit]Your username appears to be linked into a template. I was updating my list of students at Admin Coaching and something kept corrupting your entry until I deleted it. That could be a problem when you're ready for RFA. Regards, DurovaCharge! 15:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks
[edit]Hi, Andonic! Finally got round to you with the thanks for the support at my RfA! It was a great turnout and had me surprised with the level of the support and kind comments, yours included! I will do my level best not to let you all down, and if there is anything I can do to help, just gi's a shout! Cheers. Bubba hotep 19:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Howdy!
[edit]Hi AndonicO; I saw the email. I just forgot to reply, I feel so silly...hopefully you will forgive me :). Well here are my thoughts about your "concern", The thing is "Wikipedia is changing"; what you are worried about is not as important as it used to be. Remember this guy? A couple of months ago he would be shot down for not participating in a lot of AFD's, but now I guess it is not as important. He passed with amazing results; Wikipedians everywhere are realizing that not all admins close "AFD"s. So I think it is safe to give it a go; what do you have to lose...all you have is to gain :D. And about the userpage; it is for personal reasons that I deleted it and made it simple. Really for security reasons; hopefully you can understand. Hope life/wiki is treating you well! Regards, ~ Arjun 19:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Btw; I got a decent point and shoot camera just a couple days ago; look at my most recent shot with it. [1]. Let me know what you think! ~ Arjun 20:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm...if I have never made an edit to WP:SSP; as I try to stay clear of sockpuppetes. Odd I know yes but most of my work is vandal-related (i.e AIV, RFPP, CAT:CSD]]) and many others. So I still think you would pass; but it is your choice, ah and yes the Piano is part of the family :). ~ Arjun 21:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm Back
[edit]I am back from going through a period of being inactive!!! I feel great now! I was having a lot of stress here and in Rl but now I am fine. I will be more active but I do not think my activity will be as high as before. Have a nice week and god bless. --James, La gloria è a dio 03:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, my stress level right now is very low. For me the last straw was wikireligion. Around that time I had a little stress in real life and a lot here. This guy, Seven of Nine, tried to push my buttons at wikireligion. He questioned my every move, was very negative, and did not make any positive contributions at wikireligion. On his User page he wrote "I am tired of telling children about trying to run a wiki." I thought this was pretty rude so I deleted it and I made a policy against rude comments on user space. It is common sense not to put rude comments on user pages. He charged me with expos facto. He made a big deal over nothing at all.Even after this little thing he still kept on harrasing me. I got fed up and blocked him. After this I leave the wiki for a while and even after he was sending me rude emails. Because of all this crap I do not think I can run for sysop here at wikipedia even though almost all of the time I have shown civility. Peace. --James, La gloria è a dio 00:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- I did to one. He asked if I have ADD and I said no. --James, La gloria è a dio 01:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- He is doing it again and is pretty close to being out of control I think. He will get 5 warning before getting a block. He is a troll. --James, La gloria è a dio 14:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm there just to help change the leadership over to RuyGuy. If he gives up I will take over again. I do not plan to stay there, it is hell there. :) --James, La gloria è a dio 14:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- For now I have given RyGuy the job of setting up the place. I just do not have the time to. Now it seems as if everyone is seeing that Seven of Nine is plain old out of control. --James, La gloria è a dio 21:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Re: For you...
[edit]Thanks! – Qxz 18:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Screen-Shots
[edit]What I did was click save as to the image, so that I would save it in my pictures; then I right clicked the image and selected edit, so I edited the image through paint and saved it as a jpg before uploading it. --TomasBat (@)(Sign) 00:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Quilt
[edit]My quilt just got completed today! You can look at the first quilt here. > Kamope < 21:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I've cast my vote, Andonic. You'd better take a good look. -- Altiris Exeunt 08:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
My vote was to keep. And in any case, the MfD is closed now, with what appears to be a "candy floss" decision. -- Altiris Exeunt 00:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Some users, indeed...even though I barely have an idea of who they are...pfft... -- Altiris Exeunt 01:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikibreak
[edit]Have a nice wikibreak AndonicO, and hopefully we'll see you back on Wikipedia soon. > Kamope < 13:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 15:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Welcome

My Wikipediholism
[edit]I've updated my Are You a Wikipediholic? Test score. It has suddenly jumped three-fold...but so have the Top 20 scores. -- Altiris Exeunt 01:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
One final time? Are you quitting already? -- Altiris Exeunt 01:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, that's alright then. As it is, I've postponed my toilet break for one hour just to take the test. I'll quit once I reach 10000. -- Altiris Exeunt 01:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Good luck to you then. That'll probably mean beating DarknessLord...unless he's even bothered by such competition. Given your score, hitting 25000 shouldn't be too much of a problem (since you have already snagged the first 23410). -- Altiris Exeunt 01:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
...like that time he did the 0th position? Yeah, he'll definitely run for his Wikipediholic position. -- Altiris Exeunt 02:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, with that kind of "scared to lose" attitude, he'll definitely try to raise his after you do so. -- Altiris Exeunt 02:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Unless he cheats, of course...his big brother isn't exactly watching him, no? -- Altiris Exeunt 02:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I added a quote to your Quotes page. > Kamope < 00:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fate chose pretty well :) I got the quote from my quilt. Also, I like your new userpage. It seems weird not seeing a menu! > Kamope < 00:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit]What do you think here? I was going to start sending it out.--Clyde (talk) 00:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well I don't have AWB, so I was going to deliver by them hand (won't take that long). I'm going to start from the top and start delivering. If you get bored and want to help, knock yourself out.--Clyde (talk) 00:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I changed the heading to WikiProject Strategy games.
- Sorry I got really bored really fast. Looks like it is 1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1.--Clyde (talk) 22:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ad for your Strategy Games Wikiproject
[edit]Hey AndonicO, check this out! I asked Qxz to make an ad, and he did a really good job!
- There's only one huge problem with it: it's missing a period after "Join the Strategy games WikiProject". :-) Oh, and "Games" is lower case (per WP:NAME) · AO Talk 12:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Corrected. You may need to bypass your browser cache for changes to take effect. Thanks – Qxz 00:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks! · AO Talk 10:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi
[edit]Hello. Do you remember me? You were the cabal meditator looking into the problems about White people page. If you have time, can you comment on Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Lukas19-LSLM? It has been proposed that I should be banned for one year from Wikipedia and I just think that's not fair. You have dealt with me for sometime and I think you may provide some input about my behaviour. But it's been a long time since then and it's ok if you dont want to deal with another mess.

AIV
[edit]When doing AIV, we can only handle users that have vandalized recently after a last warning (generally, in the last hour). The only edit from that IP recently is the request to have it blocked-we generally won't do that, as it can be abused, unless the network admin sends an email to WP:OTRS. OTRS is equipped to verify that the person making the request really is authorized to do so, but we're not. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Assessing
[edit]Well...
- Defining articles of the strategy genre should be top (strategy game, risk, starcraft).
- Important games (spawned a series, changed the genre, added to gameplay) should be high.
- Unless a sequel or game does something awesome (like Dune 2, which defined the genre and should be top or high) a sequel in a series or varation on game should be mid (like Chess variant).
- Rules about games, expansion packs or obscure varations not worth mid should be low.
What do you think?--Clyde (talk) 18:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think a "game" in general could easily fit in any of the categories; it's more on a case by case basis. For example, I just rated School Tycoon as low, even though it is a game (and could be mid). I don't think we want every single game in a series as high, simply because all of those games aren't worth being in a paper encyclopedia. The first game should have a legacy section that says it had some sequels. However, not all of those sequels should have a complete article in a paper encyclopedia. In that sense, maybe the sequels should only be mid or low if they are not extremely important (in other words game by game basis).
- As to the Total War series, I think it should be as you said. Be careful of how much you rate top and high though. According to the index of all the ratings, the ratios of top:high:mid:low is 6:15:47:68 or about 1:3:8:11. hmmm... I need to think about this, because we need to adjust our system a little. It's going to end up being 1:2:1:1 or something like that--Clyde (talk) 20:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Can I be your friend?
[edit]Well, we have already met. So can I put you on my friends list? (P.S. This is not an April Fool's joke) --Freiddie 14:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Rfa for you?

- (Three-party discussion, so I answer here now). What I told RyGuy was:
- Well, thank you RyGuy. I very much appreciate it. :-) However, Nishkid64 has already said he will nominate when he recovers from his heart surgury last Wednesday. You can co-nominate if you'd like though; I'd like that very much. If you want to do that, I'll tell you when the page is created.
- Same goes for you Chris, you're a great friend, and I'd be honored if you co-nom too. :-) · AO Talk 17:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yay! Alright, I'll co-nom. :-) Best of luck for when the time comes. RyGuy 18:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, you can add Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/AndonicO to your watchlist then (that's right, it works even though it doesn't exist yet!). · AO Talk 18:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yay! Alright, I'll co-nom. :-) Best of luck for when the time comes. RyGuy 18:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
RfA thanks

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. |
Hello Andonic.
WikiProject Strategy games finished it's first collaboration on Risk (game). We have voted for possible candidates for the next collaboration, and three finalists have been selected:
If possible, please vote here on which of these articles to collaborate on. Thank you.
What should I do?
[edit]Hi AndonicO, I was just wondering what I should do if i've never played and of the three finalist games. Should I just not vote? RyGuy 12:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
