User talk:Kirbman

Welcome
Hi and welcome to the wiki. Your character links are a bit wrong. For example you link to article 'Enemy Crusher', but stuff which tells about your character should be at User:Kirbman/Enemy Crusher. To fix the links, use the following code: Enemy Crusher. This will link to the correct place, but still show up as the text that you currectly have. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page or here on your talk page. -- (talk) 19:36, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks Gem, btw, do you have AIM? It would make it a lot easier to talk to you, and you seem like a really nice person. Thanks for the tips btw, I'll work on it now.


 * Oh, I just realized you might not want to post your screen name since anyone could access it here, but if you do have AIM accessable now I'll post mine and you can IM me if you'd like.


 * I don't have AIM and I'm just going to bed. However, if you want to talk to me, feel free to contact me in game. It is also possible for me to use MSN messenger, although I don't really like the program. If you want to talk via MSN, I'll tell you my hotmail adress in game.
 * A few other tips: You should sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes: ~ . This automatically creates a link to your user page and the date+time. When you are replying to the previous poster, you usually indent your comment with one or more colons . If you look at the code of this talk page, I put one colon in front of your replies, so they got indented once. As I am replying to your posts, I indent twice with 2 colons. And so on. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 19:57, 29 August 2006 (CDT)

Hey! It's Crim! You want me to grab you the Jedeh's Offhand? I just finished mouth of torment and trying to make a hero/hench build to run for the demons.

One of the things I never had much of. lol Anyways, keep it Fresh! See you on Guildwars.--Crimson Remnants - PWN3D! 12:39, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Policy
We appreciate your help with the greens section, but you have broken one of our main policies, GW:1RV. This is a warning. Please read up on the Policies. &mdash; Gares 13:41, 30 November 2006 (CST)


 * Edit: You may also want to review GW:S&F before making any significant changes to an article. &mdash; Gares 13:43, 30 November 2006 (CST)


 * Sorry, I didn't realize that I made the same edit twice. I'm currently going through the unique item stubs trying to fix everything so that it conforms to the Styles & Formatting Guide. If I'm making changes that you think are improper just tell me and I will fix the way I'm changing that part of each stub. Don't think I'm just going through changing things to my own way, I've been looking at multiple style guides and am fixing weapon and item descriptions to matching their in-game descriptions. --&#91;&#91;Image:DualAttack.pngKirbman]] 13:49, 30 November 2006 (CST)
 * My signature seems to be messing up again, think you could help me with that too?


 * Yeah, if you follow the S&F guide for unique items, you'll do ok. I noticed some problems besides the breach of protocol. You changed Image:Buhon's Prism.jpg to Image:Water Prism.jpg. Even though someone stating it had the same appearance as a Water Prism, that doesn't mean it looks exactly like one. Most of the time the dye is different, thus making Image:Water Prism.jpg on Buhon's Prism's page an incorrect and inaccurate information.


 * Secondly, under where you keep changing Bow to the specific type of bow, you are actually changing the link to a specific item, i.e. Longbow points the basic Longbow found in lower level areas. Bow, Sword, Hammer, etc. are articles that tell generic information such as max damage, damage speed, types of bows, swords, hammers, etc. That is why Bow was there. Some other advice, not all things need to be wiki-fied. If one Energy is Energy, the other 3 or 4 in the article don't need to be wiki-fied as well. One thing as you are working on greens is to look and make this page your friend for now. ;)


 * As for your sig, try --[[Image:DualAttack.png]] Kirbman and make sure raw signatures' box is checked. &mdash; Gares 14:20, 30 November 2006 (CST)


 * Thanks Gares. That does make sense about the bows, I didn't even realize that. THanks for fixing the Prism back too, If I come across one I'll make sure to screenshot it and add the picture. As for the extra wiki-fied links, I've actually been removing those, not adding them. Thanks for the link to the style and formatting guide, I'll probably use it to get back to it quickly later, but I've had it up this entire time in another tab. Yay, according to the preview my signature works now. Oh, I have a question about formatting unique items that isn't answered in the formatting guide so I haven't been changing it in articles so far: should two handed weapons have "Two-handed" at the bottom of weapon stats or not? --[[Image:DualAttack.png]] Kirbman 14:41, 30 November 2006 (CST)


 * No worries. I have a Buhon's Prism, just haven't had time to upload it. I was in such a rush, I didn't see in the Diff that you were removing them, that was my fault there. Yeah, under staves, bows, daggers, and scythes you can put *Two-handed . Seems to have become common practice now and there doesn't seem to be any negatives to adding it. Go nuts :D &mdash; Gares 15:43, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Lists
Please read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:List for information about list formatting. Using a colon to indicate a sublist is not quite right. The colon technically indicates a definition in a definition list; it isn't really a "tab" per se. -- James Sumners 15:27, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * Thanks! --[[Image:DualAttack.png]] Kirbman 19:04, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Sig
Sorry to bother you but I noticed your sig is 'illegal', you can't use an existing image, you have to use one that you upload because it has to redirect to your userpage. Fusco  (T/C)
 * Oh, I didn't even know that, I got the idea from so many other people with already existing pics in their sigs. I'll put my own little mini icon thing up sometime and change it to that when I think of something. Thanks --[[Image:DualAttack.png]] Kirbman 09:59, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You can reupload the same image, just as long as it doesn't redirect to an article.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 14:47, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
 * There, i just reuploaded the image with the name "Image:Kirbman sig.png". if you could now change your image to this one in my preferences, it would be much appreciated. Thanks--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 14:52, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

HoM pages
Is there any possible way you could integrate each separate Monument page for each character, into a single HoM page? You are clogging Recentchanges/Newpages and while I do approve of users using the Wiki's capabilities to track in-game progress, this is a bit excessive tbh. (T/C) 03:17, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

Title templates
Noticed you've recently added the extra title ranks to the userbox usage section, are you also going to update the template wikicode? --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 06:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There isn't anything that needs to be added to the wikicode is there? --[[Image:Kirbman sig.png]] Kirbman 07:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * At closer inspection of those title templates, you're right. Those userbox templates have been poorly written requiring the user to manually provide both the rank name and the number of points they have. :( I was expecting them to be a little "smarter", ie, you just provided the number of points your character has, and the template works out the correct rank name to display; and so then they would have required additional wikicode to handle the additional ranks you'd added (more if-then conditions). Sadly, those userboxes are too widely used to change now. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 23:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah that would be nice, but it works the way it is too, its just a little more effort to change the title yourself. --[[Image:Kirbman sig.png]] Kirbman 19:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
