Little Help
Can I get your opinion on. I have mine on it's talk page and i think it should be deleted. --David (T : C) 15:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

What picture is that exactly? What ever it is, it does not seem relevant to any Legend of Zelda article. --Matt 16:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Looking at the history, it seems that it was just deleted. It also looks like that was the best course of action to take.--Matt 16:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, my friend Ando (who's a sysop) deleated it. He must have seen me look for opinions. --David (T : C) 17:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Image(s) uploaded
Hi! Thank you for the new image(s) you recently uploaded; the wiki appreciates your contributions! We've recently introduced a policy of crediting the original source of any images used here, so we ask that you please take a moment to let everyone know where your images came from using the various templates here. For more information, see this explanation, and any questions you may have will be answered by the staff here. Thanks for your help! —Adam (talk) 18:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, as a second note, I noticed that you seem to be, uh... a little confused on how to properly use the templates. You don't need to copy and paste the entire coding for the template; it's much simpler than that. :P Simply put the name of the template in between two sets of curly brackets, like . This adds references the template directly and adds it to the page. I'm gonna go see if the template pages have specialized instructions; if not, I'll update the pages with template-specific directions for use (some of the templates require a little extra typing). And... that's all I have to say. ;) --Ando (T) 18:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, that was a rather dumb slip-up on my part. But, on the positive side, my minor mental lapse has caused instructions to be placed on the image templates.--Matt 19:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Credit
On your table, you should probably write: This table was ripped from David's userpage who rippedit from Douken's user page who ripped it from Ando's user page who ripped it from an unknown person. Oh, and come down to the Chatroom, We get bored down there! --Seablue254 19:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering how I should do that, thanks.--Matt 19:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Grammer
Hey there. Just wanted to let you know; it always makes me smile when I see your edits correcting spelling/grammatical mistakes, since you always mis-spell the word gramm a r

XD --Adam 16:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice. Well, there goes that joke.;P--Matt 17:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * But it was real mistakes I fixed though.--Matt 17:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As you may have noticed from my userpage, I like to make people laugh. I thought that intentionally misspelling the word "grammar" would incite a few laughs. But that joke has passed. It's old now.--Matt 18:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Dang it, Adam. I noticed that every dang time, and laughed every dang time. I was gonna let it go on. You ruined it. Although was the fact that you would fix SPELLING mistakes while still saying that they were grammer fixes on purpose? :P --Ando (T) 00:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems more ironic that none of the ones I've seen are even errors, it's just things like armour, favour, and colour... England's spellings of English words. =P --Douken 00:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * On ZeldaWiki, we are supposed to use the American spellings. Eventually I just decided to change all of it in one go. I used the search and found every instance of the English spellings on articles. I left the ones on talk pages alone. But, occasionally I find other grammar mistakes. Some of the more recent ones were sentences changing tense mid-sentence, twice. I've always been good with grammar. But I like to get a little "grammer" in too. It was actually my English teacher who gave me the idea of using grammer instead of grammar. He found that on someone's paper, about the quality of grammar in today's society, she misspelled every instance of grammar as "grammer". He could not help but laugh about it, and he never missed an opportunity to bring it up. Inspired, I decided to intentionally misspell grammar as grammer on this site whenever I corrected bad grammar. I was planning on stopping when someone finially said something. That took longer than I thought. Everyone be warned. I now intend to slip in a grammer or two every once and awhile. I'm glad I got some laughs, and I hope to get more!--Matt 00:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess if I fix a spelling error I could label it as smelling. Another letter switch! ^_^ --Matt 05:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

ZW Logo
I put this image of the ZeldaWiki logo here to keep "certain users" with itchy trigger fingers from marking it for deletion for being an unused file.--Matt 18:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Note. You don't have too. It's on the Main Page, meaning that it'll Never be deleted. Even if someone did want to get rid of it, no sysop in their right mind would ever delete it :) --Seablue254 21:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No, this particular version was marked for deletion. And this page is the only page linking to it. Notice that the one on the main page is not the same one here. It is a smaller version.--Matt 21:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm....you're right. Good Idea! :) --Seablue254 22:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, I'm sure that Jason probably still has the original file, so even if it WERE accidentally deleted (which, being the ZW logo, I'm not sure that any of us would ever delete it unless told to), Jason could just re-upload it if necessary. --Ando (T) 00:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Most likely. But, like I said, I put it up to stop people from marking it for deletion.---Matt 01:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Featured Disqualifications
I guess you're right there, but may i make a point? I voted for one article and one picture. So therefore, i have have voted according to the qualification rules :P --Seablue254 19:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, technically, the Featured Content Disqualification page states that "you may make one vote a month"; nothing mentioned about one article and one picture. :P HOWEVER, I thought about that as well, so that's why I didn't tell you to remove a vote myself... I'll go edit the page myself with the "one article one picture" idea. --Ando 21:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Click here if you haven't voted yet, people!


 * At least this incident has cleared that up for everyone else. I seem to have a tendency to provoke these clarifications. At least the results are positive.--Matt 22:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

True! It's people like you that provoke change and clarification. ;) --Ando 22:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The smarter the person, the dumber the mistakes... Down ego! Down! Bad! Sit! Stay! Good ego. Good--Matt 22:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh! I just noticed that Adam's already edited the EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE PAGE with the one article one picture rule. Beat me to it. --Ando 22:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

It's still not very clear. I'll fix it.--Matt 22:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Reminder Templates
Yes you can see them at the top of my talk page. I think it should become standard practice to place these on a user's talk page after he or she uses a month's vote for a featured picture or featured article. The user should place them up himself/herself but other need not be afraid to do it for them. It is very easy to forget whether or not you have voted. With these templates, one need only to check one's talk page. Once the next month rolls around, and the user has voted on something else for that month, the templates should be updated to reflect the new month. These templates can be quite useful.--Matt 22:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow... Right...
What is ZeldaWiki.org's estimated value? Seventy-two United States dollars (see here). We must be proud.--Matt 03:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's(here) is $1,750,147 (US Dollar).--Matt 03:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine, but it's just some computer-generated statistic. We all know how reliable statistics are, especially those produced by machines ;P
 * Plus, Jason's already demonstrated that the wiki's not for sale... --Adam 18:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I know it is nonsense -- A fact made quite clear by the title of this section! I just thought that it was funny that it thinks this site is only worth $72.--Matt 18:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Gamecube Startup
The strangest thing happened when I started up my Gamecube. Instead of the normal sound when Gamecube logo is rolling out, I got babies giggling and laughing! It happened after Majora's Mask locked up. Does anyone know what just happened?--Matt 17:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You were holding down Z when you started the system. I don't remember how I found this out... probably on accident. The sound changes again if you start the system while holding down Z on all four controllers. It's trippy, yo. --Ando 17:21, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I guess I never tried that before. Why would Nintendo put something like that there? I've never noticed it before in the last six years.--Matt 17:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Because they're insane. :P I really don't understand why, either. Just a nifty little easter egg. --Ando 17:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * 'Tis happened to me too. However, sadly, my gamecube is toast, it can't run anymore, and now, my wii takes over for that job. Also, seeing i am one of your friends, i will add you to my list :). --Seablue254 20:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC) Come check out the Chatroom everybody! We're all ears for a chat!

My old Gamecube fried out too. That's how I got a copy of Collector's Edition. And about two years ago that one went. The first time was a defect. Since the warranty was expired, I figured it was better to get a new one than spending $100 US plus on repairs. Second time was a thunder storm. That day I really felt like an idiot. I had it plugged in an outlet directly instead of on a surge protector (and no the Gamecube was not on). I let you fill in the details. I'm hoping that my current one lasts longer than the other ones did. Since I'm venting I might as well say that I had ordered Twilight Princess for GCN five times!!! Every time the store (trying a different one each time) either lost my order (how in the hell do they do that?) or they "forgot" to reserve a copy for me in the next shippment. I finally managed to get it from Amazon, in March of 2007!!)--Matt 22:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * ?! Where the heck were you trying to buy Twilight Princess where they messed it up that much?? It was GameStop, wasn't it? --Ando 00:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Best Buy, Wal-mart, Gamestop, Best Buy again, and then Amazon.--Matt 05:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Damn it! You don't deserve that! You deserver better, especially when you make almost a thousand edits in 2 months! --Seablue254 11:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I did make over thousand. I just haven't updated my counter yet. This post is edit number 1039. I really can't remember a time when I was more angry than that time.--Matt 11:07, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, again, thirty-one days as of today. Edit 1044! --Matt 12:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * ...you're embarrising me! I only have 600 edits! MUST...EDIT! --Seablue254 14:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

On the possitive side, We're getting closer to categorizing all the images. When we finish that (two more weeks maybe?), we can really start to find sources to the unattributed images.

Out of it... For a day
If you read my userpage, then you know that my high school graduation ceremony is tomorrow. My graduation party -- clean, no alcohol, drugs or crap like that -- is tomorrow too. I'm going to have to wash our garage floor -- pressure washer... heh, heh ^_^ -- right now. So if anyone asks me anything, I might not respond until four or five hours from now. I'll be absent most of tomorrow -- but there is so much I have do here :(. Oh, well. This site isn't going anywhere. But high school graduation (should ^_^) only comes once. Later.--Matt 18:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll be gone for about a week. Camping. Mind the fort. Look out for vandals. Watch the noobies. See you later.--Matt 19:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That trip didn't go as planned. It rained almost the entire time! For five days straight! Luckily, I bought a Nintendo DS and a copy of Phantom Hourglass on the way up. Seeing as it rained -- THE WHOLE DAMN TIME -- I managed to complete the game. I don't know our router's WEP number -- don't ask me, I not the idiot that lost it -- and I can't reset the router anytime soon. So no wireless play for me, for the time being. So anything happen while I was gone? Any acts of foolishness, (major) inexperience, or vandalism? Fill me in.--Matt 23:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Yo. Welcome back. ;) Uh, not really anything happened. Just more of the same. No vandals that I can recall... only a couple of edits that I looked at and said "okay what"... So yeah, pretty uneventful, actually. Heck, we had a couple of days where there were maybe 10 edits that weren't done by myself. Not an exaggeration. --Ando 23:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey! i may be late, but there was me! --Seablue254 20:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Bright Orange
Good Color choice! I'm glad you made it. Most of the ones I was searching for are gone, thankly. Like the Kaepora Gaebora being dead theory, ugh. good riddance on that one. I think I've run through the more common annoying theories, I'll likely find more tho.Axiomist 01:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Normal orange, FF7F00, was too close to the red of the spoiler warning, FE6060 . So I used the web color orange, FFA500 .--Matt 02:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that we got most of them marked now. I'm thinking of altering the template just to make it look less like the spoiler warning. How does "theory warning" sound?--Matt 18:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. It could say 'Be advised' or somethingAxiomist 19:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I put both of those in.--Matt 19:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The Midna Art Debate
It is here. What do you think? --Seablue254 18:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh... I was going to do just that. Looks good. Maybe put an explanation of what the issue was, the subject, outcome, participants, and the result. I've got something else to do at the moment. --Matt 18:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, i shall do that! Anyway, if you would like to, you can come into the Chatroom and talk as we edit. --Seablue254 18:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have it set up yet. I'm sorting the templates right now.--Matt 18:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Da-Da-Da-Done! Now look! --Seablue254 18:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
