Question about your revert: what? O_o I provided a clear well-lit image of the scythe, the HUGE poison cloud around the blade (the only worthwhile thing about the shole skin), and a random naked monk with no armor to spoil the view that just happened to be holding the darned thing. But you reverted to an image with horrible washed out color, low quality compression, bad post-processing glare, full of multi-colored monk armor, commenting to "focus more on the weapon, rather than the character"... Just wondering why, I don't get it, at all. It doesn't really matter now that someone photoshopped it and cut off most of the awesome poison cloud, but I'm still curious. Rose Of Kali 18:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

With regards to weapon images, you should focus more on the weapon itself rather than the wielder. The current image is fine anyway, as it focuses on the weapon, and has the glow/poison cloud around the blade. -- Lacky 08:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Current only shows like 10% of the cloud, but w/e. My question was about you reverting to an inferior image. Does positioning win over the quality of the content? Rose Of Kali 13:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

^No. You're one was better. Armor was removed, awful post-processing was turned off, anti-aliasing was on, an actual contrast between background and the weapon, and whole weapon (from a more frontal angle) included...just to name a few things. /shrug ~Celestia 14:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

In response to that question Kali, probably not. If you were able to zoom in more whilst still maintaining the cloud though that would have been good too. The current one is probably one of the best though. -- Lacky 11:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

If including a character in a screenshot is necessary to get the best/most accurate image of the weapon possible, then having the character is fine (especially if it doesn't interfere with the weapon itself, e.g. with armour or something). -- pling 11:14, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

That was the best I could do, I was shooting someone else with their bling scythe, and getting them to strip their leet black armor was hard enough. :P "Stand over here, no over here, turn a little to the left, no the other left... yakkity yak yak" :P I was just really impressed with that green glowy stuff, it trailed forever, and even in my original shot before the photoshop I still cut off like half of it, it really IS HUGE! O_O Rose Of Kali 13:25, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I prefer your image. As well as having more of the green stuff, it shows you the size of the scythe in relation to a character, which you don't get with the edited version. -- pling 17:21, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Here's your prize.

Lacky scored runner up on one of Halogod's Contests.

You asked for it. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 20:11, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Cheers! -- Lacky 08:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'm going to start on your page now. Observe. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 23:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Cheers Halo! Hey, with the Tabs as well, how would it look if the background of the page was the colour background of the tabs, and the text of the rest of the page was the colour of the text underneath the tabs as well? Also I love what you've done with the banner! It looks fantastic! -- Lacky 05:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I can make it less colorful if that's what you desire. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 21:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

No no, I love the image, I mean the background of the page, and then have the text as the tab text colour. Is that possible? -- Lacky 22:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, fair enough. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 22:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh, glad you understand. I shall keep an eye out on the page. ^_^ -- Lacky 05:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Requesting Permission to touch your templates on your page in order to fix the one I'm making. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 00:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Which one(s)? Would it be better if you transcluded them into your userspace? -- Lacky 01:03, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Eh, true, but I was referring to the info box one. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Erm, I guess so. What did you need changing? -- Lacky 01:22, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Not align right. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Ahh ok. I think I made it align right so that it wouldn't mess up my page, and was actually next to my userboxes, not underneath them. -- Lacky 01:27, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, I'll tear it out and put it on the page. You deal with it :P →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

You mean you are going to transclude it instead? -- Lacky 01:30, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Just watch :3 →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:32, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, watching. -- Lacky 01:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Lol nevermind, it was unrelated. >.>; →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

*sigh* XD -- Lacky 01:42, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, the basic page is done, tell me everything you want changed or added or what on the page. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

It's looking great! Thanks mate.

Couple of changes that could be made:

• Centre the logo/tabs/etc.
• Make the About Me/Name Tag/etc. Header things white or that silver/grey text colour that is on the tabs
• Make individual tabs for things and link them to the respective pages (e.g.: messages/comments goes to talk page, Your home link to my user page, logout logs out, Your info goes to the about me thing, etc. (obviously not all of those will be needed, but you get the gist of it)
• Add the other stuff from my userpage to it
• Make sure that there is no categories when finished (you may have to Subst: the templates and remove the category link yourself)/remove all categories
• Test out the 50%/50% and the 75%/25% thing(s)
• If it's possible, do you think that you could make it so that it automatically updates to a different style of user page for each season/celebration/event thing like yours does please? The main ones being Canthan/Chinese New Year, Christmas/Wintersday, Halloween, Dragon Festival, Birthday Celebration, April Fools Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, etc.

^That's about it so far I think. Thanks again. ^_^

P.S.:The name tag thing isn't necessary. I just randomly added it in. -- Lacky 04:00, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Code:

• Scratch through: Done
• : Acknowledged
• : I'm going to do that
• : WTF, I don't know how to do that? →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 16:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, for the tabs thing, you will have to cut them up in Paint/PhotoShop, then when you upload them, either redirect the file image or when linking the image, put this in: [[File:File Name.filetype|link=page (e.g. User_talk:Lacky)]]. And with that, link them to their respective pages, i.e.: messages/comments goes to my talk/discussion page, etc. Understand? -- Lacky 05:46, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Well shit, I can't finish it. If you look at the message on my page, you'll understand. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 02:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

=O Aww, sorry to hear that...isn't 3 B's good though? -- Lacky 05:29, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Not in my family. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 13:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Mind if I but in here? [: If you use <span style="color:#aaaaaa;"></span>, you'll get that gray from the tabs, would you like me to finish up for him? (: –alistic 15:48, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Well since Halo seems to be MIA for the time being, sure, go ahead! ^_^ -- Lacky 08:07, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Err where would you like each of the tabs to link to (Info, Home, Comments, etc.) The only ones I know to link are Messages to Special:MyTalk and the Logout to Special:UserLogout. –alistic 20:18, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Erm, well, unless it is possible for you to make more tabs that look like the ones already there, then just use the following please: Your Info link to the About Me part of the page (User:Lacky#About Me kind of thing), Your Home, either link back to my userpage (if clicked on my talk page), your userpage (as in Special:MyPage), or just delete/get rid of it, Comments/Messages link to my talk/discussion page (if you are going to get rid of one, remove the comments one and just use the Messages one to link to my talk/discussion page), Journal, if possible can you link it to an outside source (outside the wiki redirect/link kind of thing)? That, or just remove it please, Themes, well, hopefully Halo will be able to do something like his page where it automatically updates the page layout/colours/images based on the season/holiday/event/etc. (see my above post/comment for further information), and if he is able to do it, make that link to that page, or link to my monobook.js page because when I browse the wiki, I see things differently (I have a different layout/images kind of thing, so that the entire wiki looks like the Feedback section layout kind of thing if you understand what I mean =P), or just remove it if that won't/can't happen/work, and then obviously link Logout/Exit to Logout. Sorry for the rambling, but I hope this helps! =P -- Lacky 00:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

The themes thing can probably be done with {{#ifeq:{{CURRENTMONTH}}|Month|Month colors, etc.|Default colors}} –alistic

Ehh, well, I'm not really an expert on the matter, so if you want to do it, you can. =P I just don't want to keep having to use {{Subst:User:Lacky/Templates/User_Page/EventName}} or something like that. -- Lacky 01:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Birthday page

Hello Lacky, I really cannot explain what happened there, I'm absolutely certain I only added my own birthday. Sorry about any inconvenience, I guess I'll try adding it again.--Sensei | talk 10:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

No need for any more input, I already updated it with your birthday on there. =P -- Lacky 10:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou. And, if it helps, I followed this link [[1]] then edited directly from that page.--Sensei | talk 10:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Ahh ok. Well the reason why it did what it did then was because you edited an old, out of date page. To edit the current version, just click on the project page link thing next to discussion, to make sure you are on the current page, then just click on edit and go from there. ^_^ -- Lacky 10:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, that explains. Too early in the morning, I'm not paying attention at a lot of things yet. :P --Sensei | talk 10:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, it's night time here, so I am. =P -- Lacky 10:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Public templates

If you want to make a change to a public template that is used on multiple pages, please discuss it first. Not everyone who uses that template may agree with the change.... it's called consensus (not to mention common courtesy). -- Wyn talk 03:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I do realise that Wyn, and the change is easily reversible, as you have done, so there is no harm. Obviously I understand about it all and consensus etc. (I do have a brain), however I was just being bold. -- Lacky 06:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey

You're nominated Here. Kaisha 00:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks very much for the nomination. I will have to think it over though before I decide to accept or decline, I am not sure. -- Lacky 05:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Accepted. -- Lacky 04:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Need English summary

Hello Lacky, maybe you could help me.. We still had this "This german guild page is in need of an English language summary. Guild pages must comply with the guild pages policy." Box in our GuildWiki HomepageSection... How can we get rid of it? Where can we edit the English summary? http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild:The_Older_Ones_Legion --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.247.251.113 (talk).

I'm not Lacky, but i can give you the answer:

You just need to write the information in english as well on the same page, or to a new one. - J.P.Talk 12:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

It's already been translated. The tag just needs to be removed. I'll do that now. Misery 12:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.247.251.113 (talk).

Sorry I was not able to respond to this message in time, and I would like to thank J.P. and Misery for helping out. Cheers guys! -- Lacky 05:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Lacky, be sure to check my talk page (on your section). I know my page is full of spam and lulzy stuff, but the progress on your page really depends on your interactivity. ♥ →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 05:42, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I am in the process of it. I currently have like 50 FireFox tabs open from my Watchlist of pages I haven't looked at since they were updated. I will get to it sooner or later. ^_^ -- Lacky 05:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright, but this is my last post tonight, I actually have school tomorrow after like 10 days off. (lolsnowstorminvagina) So I have to hit the hay ecto. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 05:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Ahh alright. Well have a good one then. Learn something at school for me, okay? -- Lacky 05:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
