Linking to Flash-requiring site and Alfakim/Albotim

This is a continuation of an archived discussion. See User talk:Alfakim/Archive2#Linking to Flash-requiring site and Alfakim/Albotim

Thanks for taking this up Armedblowfish it's really appreciated. I don't get it though... should I now continue to linkspam the official site? -- Alfakim -- talk 13:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I guess so, though "linkspam" is not really an accurate term. I looked at WP:EL, the style guide Naconkantari cited. Apparently, it is more acceptable to link to plain HTML pages that then link to rich media, so I propose switching to the front page (which offers links to high and low bandwidth version, and a download of Flash). I also suggest directly citing WP:EL and why this is acceptable in the comment. You may also consider a brief explanation in your edit summary. (Note: I also looked for a non-Flash mirror, but could not find one.):

About vandalizing...

I find this whole situation amusing. I haven't been vandalizing Misplaced Pages, and I didn't leave a message "I am not vandalizing! Stop talking to me!" on whatever that page is. I don't understand why my IP address (I assume that that's my computer, so correct me if I'm wrong) is leaving vandalism. I've never edited any of those pages I keep getting scolded about! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.226.18.30 (talk • contribs) 16:24 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Stargate Story

Hi, I just added to both of your stories. What do you think? Tobyk777 20:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Although you put season 10 stuff into the S9 bit.. but no worries :P. I'd like to see many more project members involved with this it could be very cool. -- Alfakim --  talk  02:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You wrote me

"I also think this is the best scifi ever made and so on, although you simply have to accept that wikipedia wants very certain types of things, and not huge povvy synopses. post it on imdb. -- Alfakim --  talk  00:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)"

Uh.. have we corresponded before? Your point is...? Considering that you are referencing what is essentually a "dead issue" I had to ask. TTFN

(Jason Palpatine | speak your mind | contributions)

no, no previous correspondence. just saw the issue and was compelled to converse. (also i didnt realise it was "dead") -- Alfakim --  talk  18:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I was just letting them know where I stood. Even though the desision to delete (inspite of the original results) was upheld, I wanted them to know that I had not been swayed. Even though the matter is a "dead issue", I wanted it clear that i had not changed my mind. My opinions are my own. And I was letting them be known. Thanks. -- Jason Palpatine 05:40, 24 June 2006 (UTC) (speak your mind | contributions)

Christmas

I've comprehensively re-edited the Christmas article over the last couple of months. I thought this would be a good time to seek FA status again. Read it and tell me what you think. Kauffner 22:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I think I've covered this adequately at Tobyk777's talkpage. --Improv 06:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Help with the timeline

Hi, I was just turning the cites into inline citations on our timeline, but when I saved the page it came out completely screwed up. I don't know what I did worng. Could you please take a look. Tobyk777 08:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

your sig

Hi there. I do like your sig with the blue box and I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to show me how you made it. Regards. --RND 19:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

1. Prefs > sig > check "raw signature"
2. Change sig to {{User:YOURNAME/Sig}}
3. Edit Special:Mypage/Sig as you want it. See mine at User:Alfakim/Sig. Please dont copy it directly 100%. -- Alfakim --  talk  17:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I have created user:RND/Sig with the required code, however Im not sure where I should enter {{User:YOURNAME/Sig}}. --RND 18:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

No, put {{User:RND/Sig}} -- Alfakim --  talk  19:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

yeah I realised it was {{User:RND/Sig}} :) but couldnt figure out where to put the tag. Is there a box I need to enter it in? --RND 19:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

(prefs) The "nickname" box - remember to check "raw signature" underneath it. -- Alfakim --  talk  21:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

finally! got it working. Its best viewed with firefox as it uses firefox specific code. I hope you approve of the new sig and thanks very much for your patience. -- RND  23:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Can you help me with a template?

I saw you on a list of template experts, so I thought I'd see if you could help me out? Does it help if I'm also a SG-1 fan? :-) I've create an infobox for Jane Austen characters, but for some reason the image is not appearing. What am I doing wrong? Here's the template: {{JAustenCharacter}} and here's an example with image not showing :-P

Template:JAustenCharacter

Thanks so much for helping me! Argh, keep forgetting this platform is case sensitive :-P -plange 17:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

adminship

I've been keeping an eye on you, and have now decided to pop the question; are you interested in becoming an admin? American Patriot 1776 05:00, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

definitely :D .. have you nominated me? -- Alfakim --  talk  15:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Not yet, but I will do so now. I wanted to make sure that you at least wanted it because if you didn't, it would be a bit awkward. American Patriot 1776 00:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Signature Suggestion

Your lengthy signature appears to be creating a big effect on your RfA, I strongly suggest you change it as soon as possible, see WP:SIG. It's up to you though, but it's what I'd do.--Andeh 19:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. --Alfakim-- talk 21:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

heh ive changed mine since we last spoke. Where can I vote for you! -- RND  T  C  23:34, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that your recent request for adminship failed to achieve consensus to promote, and has been closed. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Misplaced Pages, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 18:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Alfakim, I hope you'll reapply after you get some more of certain types of experience as noted in some of the comments. I opposed your RfA on experience only this time -- you seem like a great potential administrator. (Also, if it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't vote for myself either with my present level of experience.) --A. B. 04:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks A. B. but I'm not the type of person who'd put myself up for adminship someone else has to nominate me, I think that's the better way of doing it all. --Alfakim-- talk 15:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

re: EasyLogic symbols

Hey there,

Do you have a zip file somewhere I can download with all of the current image files? Seems like a bit of a drag to download each of them separately.

Thanks.

david_wees(AT)yahoo.com

Lol i forgot about this. I do have a zip but actually the extension doesn't work yet, it's still in alpha stages. So don't use it. Sorry :S. There might be an easier way for you, what are you trying to do?--Alfakim-- talk 21:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about your RFA

Sorry that your RFA went so badly. With you expirence and skill im amazed it didn't pass. Tobyk777 02:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

your edit to DNA Resequencer

Hi, I just reverted the edit you made to DNA Resequencer. Although your edit agruably upgraded the text, It Deleted 3 refs, detsoyed about 20 cites, and disolved sevral pieces of key info. I like what you added and how yo restructured the intro to the article, however it messed up alot of other things so I reverted. Later I will try to incoperate your changes to the text without damaging the refs. Tobyk777 18:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

S .. took me ages to do all that work. Could you re-revert to the version I did? and then sort out the refs from there? I thought the work i did on that intro was pretty crucial, especially if you're looking for FA. --Alfakim-- talk 23:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I liked the work you did. Tonight, I have some time. I will try to re incorperate it. Just wait 6 hours from when i'm posting it. I appericiate all the work you did. I will try to make it perfect. Tobyk777 00:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I just spent more than an hour. The text is perfect, and all the cites are in the right places, however, the refs are really screwed up. Because of it alot of the text is invisible. I know it has something to do with the ref tags but I can't figure out what. Tobyk777 03:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Take a look now

I have incorperated my great refs with your text. With the help of Tango and Morph, it looks perfect. Is there anything else that you think could be improved. Tobyk777 23:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The article needs copyediting heavily, it is riddled with spelling and grammatical mistakes :S. Also, your new leadin has introduced elements I tried to remove, such as those going into too much detail or sounding OR, or most importantly being in-universe. I would appreciate it if you could revert as significantly as possible to the version I wrote which removed 99% of what FA guys would object to. for isntance, your descriptions of various events (e.g. anubis and the goauld) in the leadin are far too detailed and in-universe. --Alfakim-- talk 01:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I copied all of your text into the curent version. I just re-reffed it, and re-added info you deleted. I didn't revert because your changes were bad, I reverted because they destroyed the refs and deleted info. The text in your version was the best the text ever was, (except for the info you deleted) If you could copyedit it without destoying refs and deleting info it would be great. Tobyk777 02:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

If you take a look here and here the text in the current version is almost identical to your text, I tried to preserve as much as possible. It is reverted to the version you wrote, just better refed. (Also, the show never mentioned anything about an army of hokotaurs so i took that out) Your changes were great, I just reffed them. Tobyk777 02:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed some of your info because of reasons like:

• Too much detail for a lead in section
• Sounded in-universe
• Repeated elsewhere in teh article

Remember that a leadin is meant to be a brief summary/introduction to an article that doesn't go into detail, and shouldnt take up more than 1 screen. --Alfakim-- talk 14:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
