Is it cool to make foreign articles?

I see a lot of red links on foreign pages when I roll random articles, and it always bothers me. I made a page for the Saxxy award music in Czech, and just added the video and navigation. Not pretending to speak the language or anything. Would that be alright to do, or should I avoid it since I don't actually have information to add? SilverHammer 05:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It's not alright to do, because then the page exists and translators assume that it exists and is fully translated. Translators look for red links and translate this in priority rather than following blue links and seeing if it's fully translated.

tl;dr: Don't do that — Wind 06:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I won't, and I should have waited and asked before I made that first one. I don't seem to be able to roll the edit back. I guess I can't un-make a page, huh? SilverHammer 06:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

It's alright, I deleted it; next time, simply put {{delete|Some reason to delete}} at the top of the page when you want a page deleted. Also, I highly suggest you join IRC — Wind 06:15, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, maggosh showed me how to nominate for deletion last night. c: I'll look in to getting on the IRC right away. SilverHammer 06:19, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

No, it's not alright, translators will then assume that-... oh... Wind hijacked my page... OK. Guess I'll go back to my corner -- Firestorm 08:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Undone link

Why was this link undone? http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Bonk!_Atomic_Punch&diff=next&oldid=572364&htmldiff=0MEDUNN 05:43, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Because I was awake at 2 in the morning when I had work 7 hours later and I thought it was bad trivia. It's been put back, my apologies. -- Firestorm 13:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

That's okay, thank you for the clarification. No need to apologiseMEDUNN 15:50, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

Hope you have a great one! 07:40, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

Sprites

Is it cool if I borrow (*cough* steal) your Demoman Eyelander sprite? It's pretty damn awesome. Hojung1996 11:11, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Go right ahead! They are pretty awesome, aren't they? -- Firestorm 11:11, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Yeah, they are. Kudos to the guy who made them. Hojung1996 12:32, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Oh, by the way, can you show me how to fix the sprite near the bottom of my user page? It isn't working to well for me. I want to resize it and make the background color different to match my page. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hojung1996 (talk) • (contribs)

I'm going to assume that you want both the white and the black portions transparent? It's just a photoshop job, I'll fix it up for you in a few hours, when I get home -- Firestorm 13:06, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Alright, I added transparency and fixed up a few things, the thumbnail will fix itself in a little while -- Firestorm 16:12, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Hey, Firestorm. Thank you so much for fixing the image. Right now it doesn't display correctly, but is that just because of problems that the server is having right now? Hojung1996 20:49, 11 July 2011 (PDT)

Yes, it is. Try it now though, it appears to be fixed. -- Firestorm 06:27, 12 July 2011 (PDT)

Jarate Bug

Hey Firestorm, I'm not really sure about where this bug I found should go (or at least I was until that guy removed it), so can you check the Jarate talk page out so this doesn't become some sort of edit war between me and him? Thanks. Hojung1996 09:18, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

If you're referring to the "Kook the Spook" Achievement, I've dealt with it -- Firestorm 10:57, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

Dear Firestorm...

I do believe that there is a user who has been overlooked for the rewarding of a wiki cap. This user, Violencejr has made over 1000 edits and has been with the wiki for 5 months. During this time, he has done a number of things, including a trading guide for those who are new to it, awarding wikichievements to those who deserve them, and spreading overall happiness. :) Could you please consider him as a possible candidate?

Thank you, Hojung1996 21:11, 2 August 2011 (PDT)

Thank you for your suggestion! We will take it into consideration -- Firestorm 07:39, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Well, seeing as you've made countless edits, and you made this in the first place...
