Re:Teh great Kazham

That action was based upon this excerpt: On the other hand, overuse of sub-headings should be avoided, as it can make the article look cluttered. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own sub-heading, and in these circumstances it may be preferable to use bullet points or bolded text instead.

In regards to Henrytopia, I had not deleted all copy-pasted data, but mainly details which were unnecessry, generally repeated within the article, eg: the population (in the infobox) was also placed in a facts section at the bottom of the page

Sorry 'bout that

I only learned of the existence of an NS XML feed a short while ago, and haven't yet learned how to read it and integrate it into the wiki entry.

But currently, most of my edits are either revolving around adding more information, or fixing mistakes and typos. Of course I usually take the opportunity to update the stats as well when I make those edits. ;) Arancaytar 16:28, 14 Dec 2004 (GMT)

I am not aware

This is the first I learned about the copy-pasting issue. I have been minor editing but only the Region page, not Henrytopia. Shoot me a line and let me know if there is something happening so I can try and monitor it as well? I noticed a couple of messages above that someone had posted in reference to it though. Thanks!

poor recent changes list

Poor recent changes list... first I go on a language spree and then you go on a rl-stub spree. Or are you trying to catch up with number of edits again? *foul grin made in jest* -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 17:28, 15 Dec 2004 (GMT)

reverting revolting reverts

Thank you. Sys reverted your revert, so I reverted it agin. This has got to stop. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 20:06, 15 Dec 2004 (GMT)

motion to reopen arbitration case

My objections are not about permaban. They are about procedure. In the interest of publicness I have placed my formal objections here and I hope that you agree: NSwiki:Arbitration/Syskeyia#Motion_to_reopen -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 15:32, 16 Dec 2004 (GMT)

New Flag

Ok, Fris. I got a new flag and I don't know where to get the code to update it from. Where do you get it? Crazed Marines 02:50, 17 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Took care of it. And thank you for the compliment, but I didn't make it. Tiborita made it for me over the International Mall. He does some pretty good work. Crazed Marines 16:53, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Bostopia Factbook

Yep, they're all mine, thanks a lot DaveBoston 18:17, 20 Dec 2004 (GMT)

n-stub purpose

I can understand the reasoning behind this, especially after going through so many nation pages. For many it can be apparently seen that they were created by another user than that specific nations possessor. One relevant example is the nations with and previously in government posts in the region Canada, I have seen so many (I would estimate ten), of these nation whose only descriptor is (one or two short sentences) stating what their government position was/is in Canada, when this could with ease be placed on the Canada article due to the length and utter relevance of the descriptions to the region. Furthermore, some reasonably well known nations have had empty or virtually empty articles created for them. I can thus see the need to purge the category of articles of which it does not seems will be supplemented in the future. (likeness to ranting) Rechze • (talk) 03:45, 21 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Factbook subcategories

I'm sorry for creating any hassle for you. With the number of articles I was thinking of writing (not many, but still a sizable amount) it seemed a good idea to be able to take my Monarch pages out of the category for Falastur to keep it better organised and easier to negotiate. I very much base the workings of my pages off what I have seen on the main Wiki site. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes you. You may delete it now if you so intend.

And you are right. Most of my pages have little to do with what I RP on the forums. But then, I have written a comparatively small amount compared to what others have written, and yet I have not before seen a sysop asking any of them whether the information they have written is relevant. Furthermore, examining the page NSwiki, Goobergunchia said that this site "...strives to serve the NationStates community by providing useful content and a historical record that will serve all NationStatesers..." It also says that "...NSwiki is an open content encyclopedia of all things related to NationStates..." Now maybe I interpreted wrongly. Maybe I misunderstood, maybe that was mere wording, and actually we are only supposed to put up general information that is directly useful to us and linked to our RPs, but when I came to this site and read that page among others, I got the idea that this was for free exchange of background information - a site where I could develop the history and inner workings of my country, and let others read about it at the same time. I have no objection to your deciding that some of my writings are irrelevant - it is perfectly within your right - but I would have prefered it if I knew it was irrelevant so I could have restrained myself before writing it.

I apologise if this came over as ranting, whining, or generally speaking in an impolite manner. I hope I didn't, I certainly didn't intend to, but over textual conversations it is not easy to show which expressions you are using. All I can say is that you asked me to think about your statement and respond with comments, and that is what I have done. Falastur 13:57, 22 Dec 2004 (GMT)

(I won't repeat your reply because I don't want to use up too much space). Fine. In future I will try to avoid making sub-categories. But could you please clarify whether you would prefer I stopped writing background articles for Falastur or not? In your first message, you said they weren't revelant to the wiki. In your second message, you said they were. Not to pick nits or be a pain in the backside, but that confused me a little.

Thanks again. Falastur 14:33, 22 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Re: nesting

Normally, I'd say that you are correct. However currently Agencies are defined as:

A links database for Agencies, Organizations, Associations, and Administrations. These are institutions set up for a particular purpose, other than profit.

Which includes political parties. What I'd like to have is some sort of category that covers, well, "domestic" organisations like unions and shit (excluding corporations and states). With the current def. this one qualifies best. Open to suggestions about another cat. though. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 13:09, 23 Dec 2004 (GMT)

Alliance

Hey, I was thinking, maybe the classificaitions in the Alliance entry could somehow be linked in the alliance infobox? Or at least a link to the article? (Like the calculators are linked in the national entries). That would be a bit more efficent then linking the word 'alliance' in every single article. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 17:14, 27 Dec 2004 (GMT)

IPs and Usernames

Is there anyway you can attribute your IP address to an account you've made subsequently to obtain credit for the modification? I was 217.205.141.9 before I realised I could make this account... any help would be gratefully received. IdioC- ðtalk 22:40, 28 Dec 2004 (GMT)
