Talk of 2009
Last years talk topics have been archived. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 04:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Great Pumpkin
It is fearfully whispered (among those who are privy to the occult's darkest rumors, the spirit world's grimmest tidings, and the latest horticultural gossip) that it is nigh-impossible to triumph over the Great Pumpkin, as his prime method of attack is to insultingly not show up to the fight. Against such a cunning foe, how can one hope to win? --Undomelin 15:50, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * An undefeatable opponent who never show up for a fight. I like it. --Rej 05:47, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sysop
You are now a Sysop/Administrator. ⚙Zarchne 02:41, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 01:49, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome, I just hope I'm not irritating everybody with the more... creative theories I've posted.--Necrotas 01:59, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Picture Licensing
I found the current picture where it's under Creative Comomons, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a template to that effect, without re-uploading a new copy of it. Honestly, if it's too much trouble, I mostly just put it there as a pun, if the joke's not worth it, the whole thing can be removed.--Necrotas 21:17, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. I figure you might have trouble figuring out how to change the license.

I'll put detailed instructions on your talk page. You can write responses there too for this topic. Keep up the good work. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 23:06, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I make changes to soon.
Hi I have been changing a number of things in this wiki and for the most time if I find somthing that I think lock wrong I will change it making a good explanation and if someone disagree they are welcome to change it, please tell me if that is the wrong way to use a wiki? I am sorry if I did some wrong changes concerning the Demonica pages.

P.S. I was an may why to writing a response to your talk in the Demonica article when you wrote on my wall.

 * You didn't do wrong. I was concerned about who moved the page. That wasn't you. It was Quadibloc. I have begun a on the topic at the watercooler. It will be interesting to see how it comes out. Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 02:52, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing
Only glad that I could help. It really wasn't easy finding the page with the real text at first I only found links. Agge.se 21:35, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Link spam?
See User:Puran

--Undomelin 09:00, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Undomelin,
 * Thanks for pointing this out. The link looks like it is a link to a paper doll site. Girl Genius has been know to do those from time to time.
 * The fact that it was edited twice suggests we are dealing with a person rather than a bot. Also in its favor is the user created an account and is using their own personal page. So I think the thing to do is be patient. They just may be getting warmed up.

Possibly, but I just did some googling, and I found that this isn't the only site where someone has recently signed up and not posted anything besides putting that link in their user page; see www.mercedesforum.com/forum/member.php?u=58522. Also, a user "purany" posted the same link on a link exchange forum (see forum.siteground.com/showthread.php?p=41451 ), where people go to artificially inflate their sites' search engine ranking by agreeing to link to each other. (Sorry for making you cut and past the URL's, but I'm purposely avoiding writing those as actual links, because I don't wish to contribute to raising those pages' search engine ranks by linking to them.) All in all it makes me suspicious.

Admittedly, it doesn't affect the wiki much, so long as it stays confined to one link on a user page, so I apologize if I'm making too much of it. =P Moreover, like you were saying, it doesn't hurt to wait and see. --Undomelin 07:53, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was checking if it was possible to ad a rel="nofollow" tagg to his link but it turns out that all external wiki links are rel="nofollow" from the start by defult http://www.jocuri-jucause.com >Jocuri Dress up


 * If it is link spam it is the most incompetent ever. Agge.se 16:10, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heheh, good point, I hadn't thought of that. --Undomelin 19:25, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Rejs weekly
Hi Rej I noticed that you had linked to the disambiguation storm king page and I am not sure if that was deliberate or a mistake. One adder thing I think that Gil is refering to "francois mansart les abominations dangereuses de l'architecture" not the "Alphonse Ennui's the temptation of saint valcania"
 * Ah, good catch. I write my drafts in a word processor usually links are an after thought. I slap brackets around the name and stop when I get a non-red-link.
 * As for the other thing I got the distinct impression that it was the statue he was talking about. Thought what you say would make sense usually pronouns refer to the most recent thing mentioned. In any event it makes a good provocative question. You may just have provided the answer.
 * Consider this though. If half of Europa can claim to be his descendant, where did he procreate their ancestors? And what might the furnishings have been? --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 04:30, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

callipygian?
How do "callipygian" fit in the discription of Queenie? Started a topic in Talk:Queenie. Agge.se 19:07, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Answered in Talk:Queenie.

Template glitchery
Ah, Argadi fixed it already - for some inexplicable reason, the page started jumping around horribly as I tried to use the autocomplete. It must have thrown in those random bits of text until I rassled it into Notepad to finish what I was trying to do.

Yay for bookplates. :D

Corgi 19:57, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the infoboxes
and the other changes you've made to mesh with the new Wikia. Argadi 23:58, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hear, hear -- the constant work you've been doing to make this changeover as painless as possible is much appreciated, Rej. --Undomelin 04:06, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 20:05, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

"Violetta explains that the dart wasn't meant to stop the problem but to re-movit."
Heheh, clever. --Undomelin 17:29, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is why they are fun to write. Thanks for taking the time to notice and to comment. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 21:39, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Croeso (you're welcome)
It just needed a little tweaking - you're sort of prone to sentence fragments (I over-comma, myself).
 * Yep.
 * Your help is always appreciated. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 20:14, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Corgi 15:07, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

You should specify which novel
You are leaving references like "Agatha H. novel, p116" — these are unique now, but in a few years there will be several Agatha H. novels so it would be better to have links to Agatha H. and the Airship City. Argadi 08:27, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct. First pass was to get stuff on the page. I count on this being a wiki. So I didn't stress the details. I figured there was plenty of time to correct it. The next Girl Genius day is 9 months away. --Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 15:18, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Moved Assistant / Muse theory to a /Mad page
(as per the title, wanted to drop a note so you noticed) Cheers,
 * &mdash; Hobart 04:46, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hobart thanks for the heads up. I seem to be a majority of one on this one. See my comment on Talk:Assistant/Mad

Picture Uploader
Is not working right, Rej. It will not list any options after you upload the picture. Fortunately, it does upload as a thumbnail, but you still have to go in and edit it to put the picture on the left hand side of the page. Unfortunately, it no longer lists the available licenses the way it once did. -- Billy Catringer 05:04, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, you found a bug. Wikia obviously changed something. Lets give them a chance to find their own error. If they don't we can take the trouble to complain. Licences can be added manually by editing the file page. Cheers -Rej 06:39, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Ah. the upload button works completely differently if you open it in a new tab then you get Special:Upload which provides all the necessary fields. Just pressing pops up a window with less options and which presently has bugs. --Rej 06:58, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

White Space Mishandled
Rej, every time I edit a page, the wikia deletes all the blank lines on the edited page. I don't know if this is a problem with the software on the wikia server or with my browser. Can you help? -- Billy Catringer 22:08, May 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. Wikia considers all lines separated by only one newline as part of the same paragraph. When shown they all appear together and the newlines characters are replaced by spaces. Two newlines in succession separate paragraphs. In this what you mean?

One. Next line.

The line after I have skipped a line.

Look at this section in source mode. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 00:06, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have looked at it, but it tells me nothing. I had a great deal of trouble editing the Obscure Wulfenbach Minions and Enemies. page. It is a less complicated version of the Castle Heterodyne inmates page that you fabricated. As I edited the page, and editing that kind of page demands that you go into source mode each time you edit, it would delete the blank lines I had previously inserted between the paragraphs. Go have a look at it whenever you get the time. Right now I am exhausted. I just finished putting a window unit in my mother's bedroom. It was a small air conditioner and they are much easier to install now than they were back when they first came out, but I have had a stroke (5 Jul 09) between then and now. I have not recovered as much as I hoped. Well, fiddlesticks! I took some pain medication for my legs and lower back and it tends to make me overly garrulous. Sorry for running on over trivia. I'll check back with you sometime late tomorrow afternoon. Is there some way to make a duplicate of a page? -- Billy Catringer 00:50, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. I gave up on the wysiwyg editor a while back. It seems to interpret things I want to leave alone and I can never get my idea of it to match what it is doing. What I have done instead is set my preferences to always show a preview of the page above the edit window. I also set them so that I edit exclusively in source mode then check my work by pressing the preview key early and often. Since I am error prone before I press publish I will always press preview. That way I have control over what appears. The wysiwyg often seems wysiwtf to me. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿ ¤¤ ? 17:25, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Question on signatures
I noticed that your signature is not the same as your user ID. I tried to change my signature using the custom signature option, but I cannot get a custom signature to link with my page. If I change it, the link goes away and I can't figure out how to re-link it. I have found a temporary solution, but it is more time-consuming than simply using the preset signature. How did you modify your custom signature to still link back with your page? ~Mysteria Femina~ 04:06, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

I have a page User:Rej Maddog/sig with my signiture on it. There is a place in preferences where I let the wiki know to use that page for the tilda signature. If I am not logged in I can type " " which gives exactly the same effect.

Always happy to see someone join who really enjoys the comic. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423051546/common/avatars/thumb/8/88/1298786.png/20px-1298786.png Rej¿¤¤? 04:29, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can get that to work, although I might need help because I'm new to using stuff like source. I'm not a computer wizard (yet), but I do wish to learn more about computer stuff like source code. Learning new things is always fun. Looking at the source for your signature, it seems like you could be a big help in figuring it all out. How do you make a new, independent page? So far I haven't seen how to create an entirely new page without using the forum or something like it. ~Mysteria Femina~


 * If you go to a random page, like Yeti, there is an "Add a Page" button on the right near the top (I need to scroll sideways to see it). You can also just type http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/NewPage in the address bar of your browser to start NewPage. To create a sig page like Rej you could add "/sig" to http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mysteria_Femina and press enter to create http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mysteria_Femina/sig .
