[edit] Architecture of Africa - new AID collaboration

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikicities as well. --CocoaZen 18:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks as well. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 18:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:500th language pool

I hadn't noticed that your initial prediction had been removed from this pool. I suspect the removal was accidental. Feel free to put it back (although personally, I think your more recent predictions are funnier).-gadfium 20:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

It's Ok. I think they're funnier to. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 08:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for fixing the redirect pages

Thanks for fixing up these pages [1] [2] [3] [4] Ansell 00:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

That's what I do when I'm bored. ~ Ghelæ the Often-Bored^talk_contribs 06:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] don't feed the trolls

Please don't feed the trolls at Talk:Suki. The guy's not even saying anything new. Just revert him. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 03:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I will. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 06:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikifun starts on Sunday

Hi,

I thought you'd like to know: Wikifun Round 13 starts coming Sunday at 21:00 UTC. -- Eugène van der Pijll 18:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

This message has been sent to you because your user page is included in Category:Wake me for Wikifun.

Thanks for the message, I'll come Monday afternoon (Might seem a bit illogical to you, but is logical to me). ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 05:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikia: AltHistory

I've commented on your alt-hist God eu Mac (and the funky diacritic that I can't do, and am too lazy to copy-paste, yet I type all this in much more time than it would've taken to do so.) Bo-Lingua/Louisiannan 20:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I don't go to Wikia/Wikicities any more, ever since I forgot my password, so... ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 06:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

You should just sign-up again as Ghelae-v2.0 or something. :) And I've commented again...I'd love to see your thoughts. Bo-Lingua/Louisiannan04:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok then, but I'll still stay IP. Probably. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 14:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transcluded signature

And I quoth:

Transclusions of templates and parser functions in signatures (like those which appear as {{User:Name/sig}}, for example) are currently impossible, because the developers have determined them to be an unnecessary drain on the servers. (Any template or parser function you enter will be substituted automatically.) Transcluded signatures require extra processing—whenever you change your signature source, all talk pages you have posted on must be re-cached.

Signature templates are also vandalism targets, and will be forever, even if the user leaves the project. Simple text signatures, which are stored along with the page content, use no more resources than the comments themselves and avoid these problems.

Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages

Please don't use transcluded signatures. :] Uncyc has determined the server load to be inconsequential at Uncyc, but en.wp has different rules. Thanks. --Keitei (talk) 01:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey. It's me, Crazyswordsman from Uncyclopedia

I got banned for a week because a shared IP of mine did vandalism. If you look at my contribs, you'll see that I wasn't this person (and you know me by now). Can you do me a favor and get this message to Uncyclopedia:User:Ogopogo because I don't have IRC abilities on my computer? Thanks! Sir Crazyswordsman 04:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Forget it. I was unblocked. Sir Crazyswordsman 04:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok. *forgets it* ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 14:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr Who Monsters/aliens

I have seen you edit the Dr Who Monsters/aliens list. My idea is what we should use in my opinion. What do you think? This is an example of what we use. No infoboxes and small picture:

--The Gelth--

The Gelth are a gaseous life form that appeared in the 2005 episode The Unquiet Dead. Their bodies were destroyed in the time war and they travelled to Earth via the rift. They then inhabited dead bodies from a Cardiff funeral parlour where the rift comes out. The Gelth are capable of flying at incredible speed and can also float.

Xdt (talk • contribs)

Well, it's going to be hard convincing Khaosworks et al. about removing the infoboxes, as they provide a neat summary of the creatures in question, however in many cases having at least a smaller default size for the pics in the infoboxes may help to shrink down the page slightly.

Personally, I think that we need to collect the ideas for shrinking the page down on the talk page and have a discussion there. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 10:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
