Huh, it was the reason to remove the red links. What oddity. What can be done to remove those links from the Wanted Pages list? Energy X 17:12, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Infobox problem v12.3

Any word back from Kirkburn yet? I can roll back the changes and check to see if everything's OK, and put them back again if they're not, if you want me to. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 13:14, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

I just tested the extension. It's returning the proper values. I'll roll back the changes tonight. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 13:24, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Videos

Hi J. I was reviewing some of my bot's edits when I realised that by default it will replace YouTube videos (those with <youtube>) on pages with a video file (which the bot will create). There seems to be no option to turn it off (or on)... Sorry for any confusion this may have caused (I believe they work the same though). For simplicity, I will go around and try to revert those changes and delete the files uploaded. --Skire (talk) 02:03, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Red-links

Just warning you before-hand, but don't have a cow when you see the numbers of red-links popping up after today. I'll be finishing up those VB links this week and next week, and now I'm having to deal with some linkage over the Pre-War nav-box. On-top of that, it appears that we have a major inconsistency. Regarding metro stations, 'station' itself is an improper noun, and it seems we have quite a few that are considered both improper and proper. So it looks like I'm going to have a lot of fun tonight fixing those. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 02:06, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Scratch the station red-links. Those should be finished by tonight. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 02:22, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
Oops! Spoke too soon, it seems like. We'll (Skire and I) will get those station red-links finalized tomorrow. I hope they don't bother you too much until then - I know how much you hate red-links. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 02:41, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
I was told not to make redirects anymore. As for the red-links, I just notified you that a bot was on the job, and they would be gone soon. As for 'company' and 'corporation', they actually are not capitalized. Can you please go back and revert your changes? For instance, there's the Nuka Cola company. The company itself is just Nuka Cola, and the company is an addition onto the name to declare what kind of business it is, meaning that it's still an improper noun.

Also, please don't make assumptions. Skire offered to help with those red-links. You may even ask him - I told him that I was willing to reap what I had sown, and he said he'd be happy to lend a hand with his bot. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 16:49, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
Absolutely! I know how confusing capitalization can get, even for native speakers. But the way that I was taught and has been correct so far is that the only thing to be considered proper in a name is what they establish themselves to be. For instance, Coca Cola call themselves exactly that: Coca-Cola. They do have company in their name, but it's just to establish that they are, indeed, a company. Another good example would be the Apetex corporation. When being referred to, unless someone is being overly formal, they would just be called Apetex. Let me know when you get a second opinion. I won't push it or anything if someone disagrees - I know that's one of the more tricky areas to get into. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 16:58, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, it was Gunny. As for red-links, they are a bit necessary for me, since my ctrl f search function does not work, and red-links are needed as a sort of port of harbour for me. They're not really that much of an issue, though, when someone is actively working on them. Even Wikipedia, when looking up red-links over there, states that red-links are not bad to have. (But I do understand that we're not Wikipedia.) ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 17:00, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

VB

Oh, there was something I was meaning to ask you... I've been working on the stub removal project, and something I came across is that there were quite a few weapon files hidden away in the VB demo that could be obtained through the use of console commands. I originally had asked HawK, but he's... banned. I was wondering if you were interested in helping me out there? It would be nice to get some more details into the VB pages. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 17:26, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

That's what I've been doing. I dropped work for a couple of days so I could read as many of the design documents that I could find, as well as reading the Armageddon Rag. Sorry if I miss anything. Feel free to correct me if I remove a necessary stub. I know I'll be leaving them on weapon pages for now until we can gain confirmation over which ones can be obtained through the use of console commands.

Break

I'll be back in a bit to work on those pages more. For now, it's time for a late lunch and to clean up the house a bit for company later. ForGaroux Some Assembly Required! 19:01, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

As soon as it comes online, I'll make sure to have it on the job! It's pretty bad (exhausting) how much time needs to be diverted just to fix links. I remember why I stopped working on them before my editing died out after the split. But if the redirects really are the reason why our article-pages load so slowly for some, then I'll do my best at getting everything tidied up.

Ghoul (Fallout Tactics)

Is there anything else that needs to be done with this page or can it be considered complete for now? Luvere (talk) 23:36, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

STOP DELETING MY GODDAMN PICTURES, LIL BOY. i never did anything wrong, so stop the bullshit.

then stop deleting already, the wikias are there for everybody, not only for one person. PS ok then delete the male character too, since "we dont know what he will look like cause its players choice".

what EVER...then at least leave my shitty muggy image...on second thought just delete everything.

Response, please? Also, what's all this stuff about pictures?Luvere (talk) 22:50, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Absence

Hey Js, currently my apartment does not have Wifi, and I'm not sure when I'm going to have solid access to it again. This means that I'm not going to be able to finish peer reviewing the Fallout 3 locations and Fallout New Vegas Location articles for awhile.---bleep196- (talk) 16:21, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Infobox problem v23.19.2

I rolled back the temp fix to the infobox. It looks like everything is OK. Pages are rendering properly now. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 01:35, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats

I thought you were gonna wait and roll your 10,000th image edit in with the other two milestones you were working towards. You edit too fast :P  The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 17:10, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Didn't you have a big category milestone coming up soon, too? The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 17:32, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Vote

Hey, the vote has been finished. It would be appreciated to let us know the result. Energy X 19:36, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

ok listen mate, ive edited a light shining in darkness, because the translation from greek into english was WRONG and i know it, cause im half greek.

Hi J. I saw the results to the housekeeping votes forum. Is it okay that we keep the clause above voting rationales being recommended (only) in the policy, but removing the rest? Rationales are always recommended and this notion is unchangeable by voting. --Skire (talk) 22:02, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

ok...im going to explain it again...since youre uncapable of understanding it you retrard, I AM THE GREEK ONE HERE, NOT YOU ok you understood that now didnt you, it doesnt say a light shineth in darkness, since shineth doesnt exist, and it doesnt say "and the darkness comprehended it not" it says and the darkness overtook it, if you cant even build up a real sentence, then leave it cause comprehended it not is a grammar failure....and like i said, dont open your mouth if you cant write talk or understand the greek language.

Thanks

Thanks for moving the Audio needed template page to the decap version. Just realized my mistake before you moved it.
All a learning experience, huh :)
