User talk:Matt/Archive 9

A Few of Things
1. I was following Ando's example of when he spoke to me. I am still new to Wiki's and how they work, so I followed the example given to me in the talk pages. 2. I am working on trying to just edit the one page instead of each section. Excuse me for trying to help at work and not lose the changes I made. 3. If I am coming off rude, I am just treating you the way you treated me. All you did was say "you did this wrong" and didn't offer any helpful, friendly suggestions like Ando has. Politeness can get you a long way with me.

Not to sound like an @$$ but
I was just looking back on Magnus' page and realized something ..which you may want to hear or may not but i don't mean it in any way to attack you...I just thought I should tell u in case u do it again and someone else calls u on it.

You said u were saving my time and everyone elses...and that I shouldn't press my beliefs onto ppl...although u did come into a conversation out of nowhere only to disprove what I was saying...seems just a bit hypocritical and if I was an @$$ I would call you out on it but I just think its more funny really. Just be careful when ya do that next time is all im saying...I got ur back lol--Remo 14:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That is what I told you there. It is not a good idea to press theories onto other people. I said I spoke from experience, and I did. 17:58, October 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * I was also asked to go there and talk. And in that talk I wasn't pressing anything. The very first line says so. 18:35, October 22, 2008 (UTC)

...u were asked to go there and talk? --Remo 03:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I commented on something on another page. I presented my theory there but did not press by saying anyone was flat-out wrong. Magnus was talking to me there and he asked me to continue it on his talk page. 03:40, October 23, 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. Your theories are very sound in comparison to this one. That one is just ridiculous. 01:15, October 24, 2008 (UTC)

0.o.....IT HURTS MY BRAIN!....You can't be serious that has to be a joke?...please tell me its a joke....the worst and most ridiculous thing though..aside from the whole thing itself..is those two "facts" ...He wears his hat to protect him from sunlight..and hes eternally young...do they know hes a different link each time???..my god I hate the internet and its ability to make dumb people think their smart...--Remo 03:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC


 * Totally. It is a load of crap. But they seem serious. 03:10, October 24, 2008 (UTC)

Games
Yeah. We've got a Halo 3 tournament going on now. I'm not competing, but I'll be there. There are twelve teams so far. It is awesome. We've got some sixty people in the dorm lobby now. It is going to be intense. 01:08, October 24, 2008 (UTC)


 * Ahh... Hell. I was drafted. I'm on a team now. Wish me luck. 01:43, October 24, 2008 (UTC) P.S. Our team has about ten hours of play experience, combined. Versus those with 70+ per player. We're screwed.


 * We got creamed in our first match. 50 to 27. Next match is coming up soon. 02:22, October 24, 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I know pretty much nothing about Halo but, uh, good luck. :P 03:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * We got murdered! 50 to 6. Those guys are good! We're out now. 03:29, October 24, 2008 (UTC)

Origins
Well, it's late at night and I feel like sharing. I have researched my family history and I have determined that I'm of English decent on my father's side. It is less clear on my mother's side. It could be Dutch, German, or Swedish. But I'm strongly thinking German. Oh and yeah, my last name is German. But my dad wasn't. But details to that are secret! Try to guess! Mwaa hahaha!! Anyone else care to share? 07:12, October 27, 2008 (UTC) P.S. I can neither confirm or deny any theories.

Yeah, I'll share. It's nothing interesting.On my mother's side, I'm: Italian, German, Dutch, Irish, English. On my dad's side I'm: Polish and German.-- 15:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Ahh, family origins. Sometimes incredibly hard to do, especially as you get further back in time. D: It looks like The Sage of Cosmos comes from everywhere. :P I'm not entirely sure where my family comes from. At all. >_> 15:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, Ando, judging from your last name, I'd hazard a strong guess that you're part English. We've got a little English in us. Look up last name origins of your ancestors to get some idea. Not perfect, but better than nothing. 05:35, October 31, 2008 (UTC)

Comment
lol, thanks for telling me about subpages, and don't worry, Ill get the hang of Zeldawiki. Is there anyway to suggest a userbox? Or make one? Thanks. Zapdemon 14:01, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, a Kafei fan user block would be nice. I still want to know if I can make them, and how, so I don't have to bother someone every single time. ^_^ Zapdemon 18:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll make this one. For in the future, try looking at Template:User Blank and Zelda Wiki:Pieces of Heart. Test out your skills with in the Sandbox.

Your userbox is User Kafei Fan. Don't worry about the white background where the image is. One of us will get rid of it soon enough. Remember to preview your page when adding it to make sure you didn't make a typo. 18:28, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

lol, thanks for viewing my page
 * 1) Your right, I didn't need that extra coding, thanks
 * 2) lol, sorry for the typo on your name ^_^, Ill fix that
 * 3) The reason I put up the vandalism block was because it WAS vandalized, but almost immediately fixed, I just thought it was funny, I guess theres no reason for me too keep it up there now though.
 * 4) Thanks for the Kafei block! Zapdemon 21:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I know you were vandalized. I reverted it. But you reverted my correction too. You can keep up the vandalism block. Everyone that has had their page vandalized does. 21:54, November 2, 2008 (UTC)

lol, sorry about reverting it, I have a backup on my computer i just copy and paste it, just in case. But its been fixed.

I figured out how to create user boxes, so I created a Ruto's Letter in a bottle box. Yes...awesome! XD Zapdemon 02:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

lol, once again, thanks for the advice. Zapdemon 02:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Dude, how did you remove all the info from your page?!?(lol, was using it as an example) Zapdemon 00:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That was just to stop vandals. It is just clever coding. The original page is here. I'm not sure I could explain how I did it. It is complex. But I will explain it is any really want to know. Keep in mind that it would be very technical. 00:47, November 4, 2008 (UTC)

Writing
So you're a writer eh? That's cool. I understand what you were saying about real fiction. I try to be unique with what I write, most of it is hardly considered fanfiction, it has it's own characters, settings, ect. I can also understand your dislike of Fanfiction. The first fanfic I read sucked, the second was no exception, however the third time was a charm (the author was very talented and knew how to write). Finding something good to read on fanfiction difficult, Out of the 12,600 (if I'm not mistaken) stories, only a few are worth reading. I wouldn't mind reading some of your writing sometime, (they're probally good) -- 19:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I originally only told Seablue about this, then Jason. But now I'll tell everyone. I'm writing a book series of full-length novels. Each one will hopefully be over 500 pages long. It started a persistant daydream. I then decided to write a story on it. I worked it through in my mind, building it up whenever I got a chance, making notes from time to time. It was so good that I decided to continue the story. So I was up to three books planned. The main antagonist in the first book was a great villain. I originally decided to have them be completely defeated in the first book. The second one would introduce a new antagonist that would be defeated in the same book. I wanted a dramatic end to it, so I had the first book's antagonist return at the very end of the second book and cause a huge disaster. Leaving the second book with the biggest cliffhanger you'll ever see. The whole third book is about resolving what happened at the end of the second. In the end of the third book, the primary antagonist is dealt a mortal blow to their power and authority. This sets up the forth book, where the protagonists rapidly gain allies the were being oppressed by the antagonist. Just over half-way through the forth book, the antagonist is defeated once and for all. But on a simple inspection of an outpost that has missed its check-in, and old foe makes a surprise return in the biggest battle of the series thus far. The next two to three books, I haven't decided yet, are all about the conflict with this war-crazed race. The next book is about a completely new race. It was this race that the first book antagonist gained the technology to do what they did in book two. This race is even more evil than the first book antagonist. The next several books cover this. Perhaps three. I haven't quite got there yet.
 * I'm still writing the first book. My high school English teacher was so impressed with this, he suggested publishing it. Since I don't want anything released to a GNU license, I'm not going to give any greater detail than I already have. I will not give out the names of the books, characters, races, etc. They are a secret. If you want to read it, then you'll have to wait until it is published. By the way, if you couldn't tell, the books are sci-fi. I strongly predict that these books will be made into movies.
 * I'm in need of character names. E-mail me suggestions. I need full names. First name, last name, and middle name if possible. Names submitted to me with remain anonymous. No one besides you and me will know you submitted that name. There is no guarantee that I will use every name submitted. I reserve the right to use that name for whatever character I deem suitable. Most of the major characters are already named. But I really need names for secondary and minor characters. That is the thing about "real fiction" you've got to come up with new names. I will have to name villains myself, since they use a unique language style for their names. 20:52, November 2, 2008 (UTC)


 * You're story sounds most interesting. I have a story that is a real fiction It is an adventure/fantasy, and I have not posted it on any sites. I'm sure it would never be published, but it is something that that I started for fun, an ended up turning into a loooooong write. I have at least two books planned for it. One of the main characters is called "Sage of Cosmos" (I just used the penname because at the time I thought it was cool). I'm going to see how the first book turns out then I'll see how it goes from there. Good luck, I'll be sure to look for your book when it comes out ;)-- 03:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Games
You've beat Twilight Princess right? I have a question to ask you. After you have beat the Temple of Time, the Skull Kid just disappears. What I'm going to say may sound crazy and may be a glitch but, I'm going to see if you know. After the Skull Kid vanishes, do you remember the sound of his horn and the music that played when he was near? That same music can be heard at a certain spot in the Sacred Grove. I believe from the entrance you go through the tunnel, there are then three more passages, I think you go through the middle one, if I'm correct then there should be a tree that overlooked (what appeared to be) ruins. It was the second location of the Skull Kid. The music still plays there, and only there. I wonder if that is an indication that maybe he still lives in a tree there, or a glitch.-- 16:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * From what I've heard at other sites (and I my self have heard it before too), it is infact a glitch, but I do love making theories, and it would be cool to see more to the game. 16:44, November 4, 2008 (UTC)


 * I've never noticed it. 17:16, November 4, 2008 (UTC)


 * On the bridge like platform in the Sacred Grove there is a 'special spot' that starts playing enemy music, yet nothings there 17:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Adventure of Link
Hey man. Thanks for your message on my talk page, and thanks for the luck wishing. I agree, AoL is indeed hard. I've played it for a few hours, and am up to the Midoro Palace. Good luck to you with it too. I also noticed your friends list on your user page. I'd be grateful to become part of it. Cheers.

Kafei
You really think it needs to be expanded? I guess I could add some things, I can definately mention all the things he does during each day. The Kafei with Keaton mask on may need to be edited. But he really should be featured. Thanks for letting me know. Zapdemon 16:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Ando said he would help with it. I'll edit the image. 18:13, November 5, 2008 (UTC)

I just greatly increased the article on Kafei by adding his daily schedule and some other things. Tell me if you still think it needs to be expanded, Ill add as much information that seems appropriate as possible. Its not a huge deal for me if hes featured or not, but it would be nice. ^_^ Zapdemon 00:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Help please
I just went edit on you user page to steal some of your formatting codes for my user page, and I can say bravo for your Anti-Vandal scheme. Would you be willing to give my some sort of instructions on how to do that to my page?


 * Well thanks. Let's see... In all that code, there is   and   . That is about it. You've got to hide that in all the mess of hidden comments. The closing tag at the first hidden comment is broken on purpose. That hides the ASCII art. I think that the userpage subpage is too obvious, so I'm moving it to something else. Most of that mess of hidden comments is just gibberish. You can just copy it and change some of the characters that are clearly in hidden comments. That should be it. 06:47, November 6, 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, it is   now. That is not as obvious, is it? Heheheheheheheheeeee!!! 06:53, November 6, 2008 (UTC)


 * The noeditsection thing prevents the vandals from getting a quick link to the real page. That is how the edit section things work. If it is included from another page, then clicking on the edit section link will take you to the source. You may have noticed this from the support and oppose templates before we fixed them. But it still does it on the "Hi" template. 07:34, November 6, 2008 (UTC)

Userbox Request
If you have some spare time would you mind creating a 'This user is Australian' user box for me and Yuvorias? It would be appreciated!

07:52, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll see... Ando will help. 07:54, November 7, 2008 (UTC)


 * Here. Having it say "Aussie" was Ando's idea. 08:06, November 7, 2008 (UTC)


 * Tweak the colors as you wish. It basically for you guys anyway. 08:11, November 7, 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome. Thanks guys. 08:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Ahh thanks for fixing up my mistake on my user page. How silly of me to say 'user page' instead of 'talk page'. Also, just thought I'd let you know that some time in the near future I'll be working on making a navigation panel thing for my user pages, so I may be seeking your assistance with some of the formatting. 08:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay then. Those things seem to be catching on. 08:35, November 7, 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, and a Question
Thanks for linking my ZU template. Now do I have to use a FoundImageZW template for the logo on my ZU template? If so, how do I do that?


 * Your welcome. As far as the FoundImageZW template on the logo, it looks like Mases did that a few months ago. If you want to know how to use this template anyway, then read this guide that I wrote. 03:31, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

I got a flag uploaded from my computer. But the boarders and options are all messed up, it's not what I had in mind. It worked on an other wiki though. Light Knight of Zelda Universe 03:51, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Man you did that fast. So where would you say the most help is needing here on ZW? I can't do many wanted pages... I had a look. I can Categorize I guess. Light Knight of Zelda Universe 04:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, thanks for the Canada Template. But, if it's not too much trouble is it possible to make the options alternate at random when you load the page? That is what I had in mind... but I'm not really skilled at markup as you can tell.

OK. Well, the random option is really no big deal. Not that important. I was trying to center the template under me current one... but it won't center like the ZU one. Light Knight of Zelda Universe 04:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you Matt! I have to ask you a question, how did youget it to work? I had it really screwed up, how did you fix that mess? Again thank you so much man ;)-- 18:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

And it was working on second ago, why did it do that?--, 8 November 2008 (UTC) Maybe it works now?--

Okey, I believe it is safe to say it is working nowthanks for your help. How did you fix it? -- 19:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I wrote the guide for it. So of course I know how to do. It is just experience. I wasn't good at any of this when I first came here. Basically, it was in the syntax. A few little mistakes. This wiki software is picky. It wants things a certain way. 19:09, November 8, 2008 (UTC)

Okey. Well, thanks. Your guide was easy to understand, I see everything has to be perfect. I probably didn't have the right slashes or letters. -- 19:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I hate to annoy you again but, could you tell am how to create a user template, or user box (whatever you guys call'em)? I have rough idea. So it won't be as bad as the sig.-- 23:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I think I figured it out man :P So don't bother yourself. If you have any tips though, I could use a few ;) -- 23:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

My Page
Hey. Just wondering if you've noticed my navigation thing on my user pages. What do you think? I added my ZU sig and avy in there too. I think it looks pretty good overall! 06:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I looked at it. It looks great! 07:03, November 9, 2008 (UTC)


 * Cool. That's good to hear from you! 09:43, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

YO
Hey Matt I hear yo at South Dakota too where u at--Jakevan2432 19:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

My Nav Panel
Hey, just asking for some help with my Nav panel. User:Melchizedek/nav. Do you know how to get that 'Melchizedek' text centred vertically and horizontally in that section between the picture and links? 06:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think the wiki software allows vertical centering. But I got it horizontally centered. At least in my resolution. I'm not sure what yours is. 07:06, November 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for trying that, I undid your edit though, because in my monitor it's centred perfectly horizontally how it was, and I guess that I care about what it looks to me most! That's annoying I can't get the vertical centring, but it'll have to do. Again thanks.  07:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Your Page
I have to say Matt, VERY cool page and sig. It looks awesome :)-- 21:53, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Why thank you. Months of hard work pays off. 21:57, November 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you create the images yourself? Because that looks great. Also your sig seems like it's in cursive now, very cool :) 22:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC) ::You must very skiled with pic. --


 * I made a several of them myself. I made the logo on my nav panel. I made the one with the light beams coming out of the words "Zelda Wiki.org" I took that picture of Link "getting" Marin. I'm fairly talented at images. 22:19, November 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * That is what I thought :) Again, awesome. -- 22:35, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I have to ask you a dumb question: how do you use the chatroom? I really have no idea. -- 23:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I did when Seablue was around. But now only when there is an emergency. I've haven't had anyone to talk to in there. 23:26, November 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll talk, if you want to that is. -- 23:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps I will. But at the present moment I'm trying to fix all the redirects that my renaming made. So later. Thanks. 23:41, November 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * Okey then. If you ever want to, just say the word.-- 23:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Vandal
Someone just vandaled Llia's page. -- 02:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * WAIT!! Nope, they didn't! Let me check it out again. -- 02:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No, they didn't. It was just rather...er...poor wording. I shouldn't have jumped the gun. Sorry. -- 02:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You may want to watch this person, new user, recent changes. They have a CRAP LOAD of typos, misspellings, you name it. Someone has to fix that.-- 02:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * is it alright if someone undo them?-- 02:36, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

If it seems invalid, then you can. Just be sure before you do. 02:41, November 17, 2008 (UTC)


 * I just clicked edit on your user page, I was looking for a code for a userbox container, because mine are all over the place. I have to say very cool little trick there I don't need to know how to do it, but could I have the code for the container? -- 16:36, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that is a neat trick. Just clever coding. The userbox container is here. Instructions are on the page. 16:40, November 17, 2008 (UTC)


 * Er.........well, everything is organized! Very neatly too ;)Somehow, this is funny, click on my user page. ''(I'll fix

it)''-- 17:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You fixed it? Thank you. Heh heh...looks like I forgot that very small yet very important letter. I got it now though so thanks.-- 17:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Template Usage
Hey Matt, I forgot where it is where you can find how many times a template is being used. I just want to take a look at the image sourcing templates, to see how we are progressing. Mases 17:18, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Nominating Pictures
This boss picture should be nominated but I dont know how to do that. Help me Matt.--HeroOfTime6 19:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I put this one up for you. If you want to do something like this in the future, then look at existing ones to see what you need to put in it. 19:56, November 19, 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks!--HeroOfTime6 19:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

picture
Hey, the picture you just nominated is great. The only problem is that there are no templates. I'd like to vote for in December but it is an invalid nomination. You might want to start looking around for where it came from.--Link hero of light 02:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I was asked to do it. I'm going to look into it. 02:34, November 20, 2008 (UTC)


 * I've made some changes to it. Enough where I can put the imageself template on it. Uploading now. 02:39, November 20, 2008 (UTC)

ah
The site lagged extremely much for like half an hour, but the screen warp thing was even more indepth than DX. I did some research, and not all of the original copies work either. :O

Name
Thanks for editing my page for that. I didn't realize you could change your name, I don't need to, but thats nice to know. Zapdemon 02:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Jason renamed me. He will take all rename requests. When we installed the rename user extension, it said that we could grant the rename user right to sysops. But that apparently isn't true. So only bureaucrats can do it. I actually fixed just about every single reference to my old name. I just finished fixing all the links. That is why Adam and Ando deleted my old pages. 14:05, November 23, 2008 (UTC)

E-mail or Messenger
Hey Matt, do you have e-mail or messenger. I'd like to talk to you about some things privately. It's kinda important too and I'd rather not post it on the talk page. Thanks! You can e-mail me at mases26@gmail.com Mases 07:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I sent an email to you. You can respond there. 14:27, November 25, 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm also on Skype. User name is mjr162006. 16:12, November 25, 2008 (UTC)

Temple of Time
How can you cite an articles references or sources, like in the Temple of Time article. I put it up for a featured article but it doesn't cite its references or sources.--HeroOfTime6 13:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a guide explaining how here. To cite quotes, use that along with the cite template. 14:24, November 25, 2008 (UTC)
