Green Numbers & Relative Increase
What the heck is Green Numbers? I can't make heads or tails of it. If it's a personal page, please move it to User:Ollj/Green Numbers; otherwise, it needs serious cleanup (especially all that code). &mdash;Tanaric 17:04, 19 Jul 2005 (EST)

[...] Relative Increase helps understandin Green Numbers (or confuses you even more...) [Green number stub]

Ollj, I made some comments on your relative increase theory. Please read them at Talk:Relative Increase. Thank you.

im working on a template for all green number ranges.

Kudos. That was very well done. :) --Karlos 19:41, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)

Positive Note
I just want to actually thank you for being so dedicated to this Wiki. I second LordBiro's suggestion that you take a moment to observe what is in place and examine the styles, the templates, the categories that are in place before you revamp an entire area. Nothing wrong with trying, and none of this criticism is personal. I am sure you are trying to help, and I for one am grateful for all the help we can get. --Karlos 12:10, 30 Jul 2005 (EST)

Trying and Trying
Hey, Ollj, I noticed that when you are trying to do something, you keep editing, then saving, then editing then saving, then editing then saving. Instead, how about you hit the Show Preview button? This way you can see what the page will look like and edit it if you need to.

By editing and saving to check what your work looks like you are filling up the Recent Changes list pretty fast with about 5 articles. --Karlos 18:55, 30 Jul 2005 (EST)

doesnt work on sites with templates that use templates (templates in templates). And wiki table code made of templates (with fixed width) are tricky, i just made it. -24...-14

For testing, there always is the Sandbox, too... --84.175.70.38 00:14, 31 Jul 2005 (EST)

DISCUSS THINGS FIRST
Ollj, you do a lot of very wide reaching things without discussing them. Some things are good ideas, like categories like "causes bleeding" and so on. Others are bad things, like putting EVERYTHING into categories for the sake of YOUR solo work. Others are questionable like your work on number ranges. The way to figure out which things are good or bad is to ask on a talk page somewhere, wait a day or two, and then see if you should still do it or not.

You have continued to do things even after people have asked you to stop and discuss things first. Even when one of those persons has been an admin for the wiki. Virtually everyone has yelled at you at some point. This is the reason. --Fyren 19:36, 1 Aug 2005 (EST)

Im not editing site by site, i edit "group" by "group", its faster (more repetative) and makes it harder to miss something because of more overview over the whole thing. That way I edit like 2000 sites a day, of course the more negative changes fall more into everyones eye when people look at a few sites only, without seeing the whole thing that unites all edits in all sites. That way of editing makes it hard to discuss all the changes because of the hypertext form, but there is discussion! Right now i KNOW half of all sites here :) but i can not keep track of all those discussions. Another problem is that this way of editing takes longer time intervalls so you may see incomplete stuff more often, just because its a project split over multiple sites that are linked to each other. Like the actual categories, wich is a 2 day project of cleaning up. discussion was planned between those days, discussing how to clean up...


 * Dude, this is exactly what we don't want you to do. Here is what you are doing wrong:
 * You are taking on a massive update of what the categories in the site are and you are not telling any one about it. You still refuse to simply TELL us what you plan to do.
 * You assume that we agree with and understand what you are doing. Neither assumption is correct.
 * Most of this public work (public because it affects what users of the site will see) is so that you can do your work easier, not so that users can find more information. This is not why we have these articles. These articles are for people to search and read. Not for us to put crazy/useless info in them so we can sort them out however we want.


 * This is the last time I will actually make this request. Please: Stop making massive changes without first discussing them. If my request is not heeded, I will turn to the admins and ask that they put a ban on your account and your IP address. I am starting to feel your influence has been far more negative than positive so far.
 * This is no threat I am just one user like you, I am simply letting you know how I feel about this in hopes you may reconsider. --Karlos 20:08, 1 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * Karlos, you are not alone. I feel exactly the same. --Geeman 21:37, 1 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * I would not like to have to ban someone from the wiki but I will do if you continue to act in such an ignorant manner. 23:29, 1 Aug 2005 (EST)

Very Large / Cleanup
Whatever can be discussed elsewere than here should just be linked here and be merged and discussed there because this place is getting too full...
 * That alone should make you think what you have done/are doing. --Geeman 01:56, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)

Condition rewriting
Please do not rewrite the paragraphs describing the effect into ugly bulleted short sentences. the work you are doing with the sources of each condition is nice. Keep it up, but please recognize that English composition is not the best way you can contribute to this Wiki. Thanks. --Karlos 20:37, 11 Aug 2005 (EST)

Questions
If you have a question about a skill, ask it on the skill's talk page. Don't go around creating templates and links. --Fyren 03:28, 12 Aug 2005 (EST)
