Khallayne

Boo! It's me, why don't you check out my factbook (and the buttload of articles therein). -Khallayne

I had a look: nice work. I cleaned up one a little, and I'll do some more on others. By the way, to sign your comments, just put in four tildes, like so ~~~~. It saves time, and gives a link to your User page. (If you do four, the date will show; three will just sign you.)Gruenberg2 07:21, 19 October 2005 (GMT)

Thanks for your help on my page! (Ceorana) Ceorana|ΦΔ 22:30, 18 October 2005 (GMT)

Not a problem: glad to be of help.Gruenberg2 22:36, 18 October 2005 (GMT)

Thanks also for telling me I had the "use external editor" checked. Now I can edit again! Ceorana|√∞ 22:27, 4 November 2005 (GMT)

Macabees

Hey, thanks a lot man. And sorry for saying that on NS, I didn't really say it correctly, and I apologize in general for anything that was done to your page, which I know it was, because the people were talking to me on MSN. Macabees 01:28, 19 October 2005 (GMT)

Ah, don't worry about it. I wasn't that fussed: some of it was quite funny. And I know you did your bit to calm everyone down anyway, controlling certain off-site forums etc. In terms of signing, don't actually put the <nowiki> bits...just the tildes.Gruenberg2 01:29, 19 October 2005 (GMT)

Czardas

Shouldn't all those categories be linked? ~ Czardas 05:46, 29 October 2005 (GMT)

....Or not. Sorry.~_^ ~^v^

The Resurgent Dream

Yes, there is a reason. I'm about to delete that stuff from the main page and replace it with a more typical nation entry. I realized the main entry was more a fact book than a typical nation article. The Resurgent Dream

Stoddenia

I'm attempting to put my nation info into the Wiki, and I can cut and paste it well, but I am having trouble embedding the picture of my mapand flag. And apparently the linking doesn't work. I uploaded the picture of the flag successfully, but the map will not upload, and the flag used to work, but no longer does. I would like to put both pictures on the page, but for some messed up reason I can't seem to. What do I do?

(edit: Right. I figured it out. I simply utilized the ages old tactic of lifting code. I hope you don't mind. I changed it after that to meet my needs. And it did help to establish an account at photo bucket. Great place for hoting pictures, for real... Works well. Thanks a lot for everything. The entry looks great now.)

Not a problem. Feel free to ask again if you have queries in the future.Gruen2alk 16:41, 3 November 2005 (GMT)

Ecopoeia

Ta for the edit to UN categories. Glad I'm not going insane - Eco

Love and esterel

hi

thanks for all you contributions to the NS wiki UN timeline and for you message

if you don't mind i will put the link back where they were

last month, i noticed Mik did that for Mitigation of Large Reservoirs, i found it was great and then did the same for Worldwide Media Act, it's more practical, you are right that it's not possible in resolution page, but NS wiki is a Hyperlinked encyclopedia :-) --Love and esterel 00:50:21, 2005-11-07 (GMT)

hi
as there is a precedent, i put back the links, hope you don't mind
i really think it's more practical, this is the way the whole internet is build :-) if you want to consult others to reach some consensus, no pb, i will then modify "it education" and "wma" if needed
best --Love and esterel 01:02:26, 2005-11-07 (GMT)


you right: the neutrality of the "open-source" wikipedia article is disputed, thanks, i have changed the link to this:
http://www.hyperdictionary.com/search.aspx?define=open+source
but i prefer to keep a link until you consult others and reach some consensus

Re:Re:cleanup of Violet

I still believe it needs some cleanup, although I understand what you've said. Perhaps it could be made a bit more professional without compromising the spirit of the debate? ~ Ceorant 02:14, November 7, 2005 (GMT)

Deleted Templates

Hi, thanks for deleting the templates I asked for, and for replying. :) If you want to know what I was trying I was effectively trying to port the Wiki:ISO 3166-1 page from Wikipedia and adapt it for my home region (PEEL) - I really liked the ISO stuff being done here, but PEEL's quite insular Role-Playing wise so I thought I'd be really cleva and make one exclusively. So I looked up the equivilant article on Wikipedia, and having successfully ported a few templates from Wikipedia and adapted them for NSWiki, I thought I'd give it another go. Unfortunately as I went I realised that there was basically three seperate templates for every single nation mentioned - not only that, it all hinged on the countryflag template. Am I right in thinking that the resize option - ie the Image|25px|etc - hasn't been resolved on NSWiki yet? I didn't want to clog up the NSWiki uploads with lots of different flags each in lots of different sizes, so that meant hosting them externally on imageshack - and that didn't agree with the code - or basically I couldn't figure out how to match them together. Unfortunately, I could not see whether codes were working unless I saved the template, because their effects would only be seen on yet another page I was doing. So at the end of the day I had to create nearly 5 or 6 templates to see if the greater thing was working - and it wasn't, and I couldn't get it to work so I gave up on it - but felt that the now completely useless template pages could be cleaned up.

Hope that makes sense :P
Any hints you could give me about this stuff would be greatly appreciated :)
Cheers again
