Templete

Can you edit the templete that I have suggested changes? Thanks! Stop Wooton Around 22:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

account maintennance

I couldn't figure out how to delete profiles... there's a Mv-eugene account that was a mistake, and a MVeugene account that I would like to change/delete so I can be Elementus Green. I couldn't find out how to delete my own account. MVeugene 13:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

More or less Done. MediaWiki does not natively support the deletion of users, but it is as "deleted" as it can get. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk

I can delete accounts, however there is no account by the name of "Mv-eugene" to delete, also I've changed the name of your account from MVeugene to Elementus Green Reddo 16:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

That's because I blocked and suppressed it. So it is deleted then? God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 16:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

no, that's not how you delete accounts i was just looking at the user list page and didn't see it there, but in the database the account still existed, however i have now deleted it and merged it with his new account name Reddo 19:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Reverting edits

I guess I just didn't notice the move option up there before. Then again, I do usually have my head stuck in the clouds. : )

and even though you are not Erwin Springer, thanks for answering my question!

MarvelousMarvin 21:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Nate. I have a question for you or one of the other administrators on my talk page. Can you answer it? MarvelousMarvin 23:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Reply: Spam

So when we receive spam to pages, please do not replace the information with {{delete}}. Yes it does need to be deleted, but not because it "does not fit with current article standards". Either Reddo or I will delete the page and block that user, so you don't need to worry about it. Thank you for trying to help though. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 22:23, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

What about when spam is put on a page that already existed? Is is all right if we undue the edit so that the page will appear in its as it is supposed to? Also, when spam is placed on new pages, do you want us to just blank the page, or just leave it alone? MarvelousMarvin 12:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I'd rather you not do anything in either of those instances. Generally we don't get spam on pages that don't exist, but we do sometimes get vandalism and false information. If the information is just a little off, then you can change it, but it it's way off and just nonsense, then I will revert the edits andblock them. When we get spam, we must revert the edits, then block the ip address/user, then tell them that they've been blocked on their talk page. I won't know who to block without looking at the history of a page, so I would say just leave it alone. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 19:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Well to see who to block you could just look at the recent changes page, but that is beside the point as I'm not going to be undoing the edits. : ) Sorry for the trouble! MarvelousMarvin 20:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Quotes

Can you fix the quotes template so that more than just 3 quotes can show on the episode pages? I've been using this format:

{{Quotes
|speaker1a=John Whittaker
|quote1a=I'm talking here.
|speaker2a=Jack Allen
|quote2a=So am I.
|speaker3a=John Whittaker
|quote3a=This is the 3rd quote.
|speaker4a=Jack Allen
|quote4a=This quote will not appear.}}

And this is how all that comes out:

You can go ahead and take out the text above, I just did it as an example.

Can you fix the template so that it can have four or more quotes? Ten would be a nice number. : )

MarvelousMarvin 15:32, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Done God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 16:11, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!. I'm going to go ahead and remove the template from this page so that it doesn't show up on the main page. MarvelousMarvin 16:21, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

File:MysteryCover.JPG

Hi, if you're not too busy with things would you mind coming with something better than this? I'd try and come up with something but I have a number of assignments that need working on. If you don't that's fine I can get to it later in the week, besides that you seem to be more skilled than myself with photo editing, what program do you use by the way? Reddo 02:35, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I put together this. What do you think? It depends on what I am doing, but mainly Photoshop and Illustrator. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 05:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

looks good, might be a little too green though. I see, I usually use GIMP, it's not as good as what you use but i don't do a whole lot of photo editing and it's free Reddo 06:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

bot

just wondering if you ever got your bot working for the site, I'm trying to set up pywikipedia like you asked about on my talk page sometime ago as it's faster for what I'm trying to do and i can't seem to log in Reddo 01:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I didn't get it working. I was emailing Erwin Springer for a little bit, but I just kinda gave up. I was actually having problems with the same thing. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 02:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

The Ultimate Odyssey IQ Challenge

I'm suspicious....You are in your upper teens, I'm farely positive you live in Colorado, and you own all 50 Odyssey albums. Hmmm. Were you the first place winner in the recent The Ultimate Odyssey IQ Challenge Contest at the Odyssey Scoop? MarvelousMarvin 07:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. Sorry to disappoint you. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 15:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Website Speed

Is it possible to upgrade the server to a Dreamhost PS box? Because the current server doesn't seem to be taking the load to well. --Mario 06:42, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not really the one to ask. You should ask Reddo if you have server questions. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 01:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Picture Crop

Does this need to be cropped? The version I uploaded was released on the Official Podcast's website. AIOCREFan 20:26, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

We're using it as a profile portrait image, whereas on the Official Podcast, they were using it as an image in a photo gallery. If you look at the infobox, you want to see his face up close. So yes, I do think it needs to be cropped. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 06:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Images for Album 51

Let me explain the reasons behind all the images you deleted.

1. The album 51 logo. This image was originally created for the new episodes template. Now that you've deleted the file, there's a nice little red link to a file that no longer exists in that template and on the Main Page. You can see the conversation for the creation behind this logo here. Which by the way you were involved in that converstion and you were actually the one who made the image look good. Now you have suddenly deleted it. Why? If you wanted it off the album 51 page, simply take it off, you don't have to delete the image. By the way I put the logo on the album 51 page because I have been thinking for a while that it would be cool to make our album pages look cooler by putting the album logos on the their respective pages. But there was no other place to put that logo on the album 51 page other than the album art section; because if I put it in the description section it will appear on this page, and there was no notes sectio to put it in. Do you have a solution for this problem other than deleting the file?
2. The old version of the 3d cover art. I uploaded this because I thought it would be nice to have it on the album 51 page. What was the matter with it? Why did you delete it?

MarvelousMarvin 00:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I've restored both...One is on the main page so it shouldn't be reomved regardless of anything, and the second is useful as it shows the new and old artwork in both forms. Erwin Springer [talk] 01:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much Erwin! MarvelousMarvin 01:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry I deleted them, but I just figured that I threw the old 3d image together in like 5 minutes, so it's not very good. And the album logo I had forgotten that it was on the main page, and was negligent, and didn't check. I don't really see the need for it to be here, but if you guys have ideas, do say. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 07:10, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

What? You mean that the 3d images aren't real? They're just computer generated? And the old 3d image looks fine. MarvelousMarvin 14:29, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

That's right. The new one I worked on for quite a while, so it looks almost perfect. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 17:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

fanblog-aio

Hi, I just realized this, but did you use to run this? if so would you mind fixing the image links on it? i'm trying to sort out the errors in the wiki's error log in an attempt to make it faster and there's only 3 errors left, one from a bad version of PHP, one I don't know how to fix, and the other is files that don't exist that are getting called when people visit that blog, thanks, and sorry if that isn't run by you Reddo 05:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep I started it a while back, and just didn't have the time, motivation, or need to actually update it. I just shut it down completely. God Bless ~ Nate ~ Talk 06:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
