User talk:LordKelvin

For any Wiki- or IRC-related thingies that require my attention, leave a message here and I'll hopefully get back to you in the same day or before the end of the next one, depending on my vacation status. If it's something urgent, then just finding me or another staff member on IRC would be best.

After i finished translating the whole page i made the mistake to edit the english version, instead of create the new one with "/ro". Sorry for confusion :) --Mouglas36 14:02, 2 January 2013 (PST)

Deleted my page and my history expertise

Hi im a new contributor to trivia pages and I take a few hours to make one sentence of trivia making sure its factually correct I decided to make a page but I needed help from a friend who knew html better than me so I saved the page and then you deleted it for no reason specified It was a page explaining tf2 trade servers thank you for your time. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kooqie (talk) • (contribs)

There is no reason for a trading servers page to exist on the Wiki. We already have an article on Trading, as it is. -- LordKelvin 17:18, 26 January 2014 (PST)

Okay thanks for the explanation Soo far I want to contribute but there isnt much to do I have been doing small trivia and its barely noticeable are there pages that need work?

Vote thanks

I only write you here because you dont allow emails over the wiki, sorry. Please remember to vote. I'm TheDoctor. I waited for 5month that the staff comes to a decision. If you don't think i should get it vote "No". If you think i should get it vote "Yes". If you have mixed feelings "Abstain". But please vote. It is frustrating a bit, sorry. δ³Σx² > Add + or - skills for me 07:38, 1 April 2013 (PDT)

Could I ask you a favor?

It's bit embarrassing to say but, can you make staff vote for Wiki cap?

I know it's hard to evaluate my contributions since most of em are written in Korean.

But please make a review. It will be a great help for me.

Thanks. Themokey 18:48, 14 April 2013 (PDT)

Excuse Me

• I'm sorry, but I intend to expand the Team Fortress Classic section of the wiki, and the first thing i wanted to do was to change the strategies of the classes. Most of the pages have strategies are about the classes in TF2. So I had to remove incorrect information before I start expanding those pages.

First of all, please use the Show preview button when editing a page. That lets you complete your edit in one try instead of making multiple small edits.

Second, you attempted to translate the pages into Lithuanian, which is not a supported language in Team Fortress 2. On top of which, I double-checked those pages and they read very much like you had used Google Translate to create them, which is not allowed on this Wiki. This was already explained to you on your talk page by Ashes, which you decided to remove for no apparent reason (I should also point out that removing messages left by other users on your talk page is generally frowned upon too).

In the future, please read your talk page to see if there are any explanations for your contributions being removed, before contacting a staff member. Additionally, do try to read the style guide before making any contributions to begin with. -- LordKelvin 21:55, 15 July 2013 (PDT)

Reply

Hello, I jsut reply your comment on my talk .Listen very carefully, I am a user who is registered there about two days. I would not do that just war for a translation which I made spelling errors. It is true that I board not read the rules and that I'm not proud but I note that you are more experienced than me (you contribute to the wiki since 2007 or 2008 if I link yours description and achievements) This is true, I Thank you for your advice to me but I did not need it because I will try to contribute and translate pages to my common language (french). So I say thank you for the advice and do not bother me. thank you.

Update to Template:Current Events

Just got done writing this. Feel free to modify it if you need to. The template hasn't been updated for a few days and there's an entire blogpost un-written about.

• July 8, 2013 - TF2 Official Blog updated. An Active Solution to an Idle Threat Science has proven that standing around doing nothing is now more likely to get you shot than it is to get you free things. Valve has again modified the way that the game grants items!

I figured since you were the last to update it I'd ask you to. I feel like I've been annoying WindPower too much recently. ~Sven~ (talk) 21:39, 27 July 2013 (PDT)

Upload warnings: size too large

I've run into some trouble uploading voicelines. Sf13_mannbros_argue21.wav is 2.18MB, but the server is only configured to upload up to 2 MB. I believe this is the only one that exceeds the limit. Can you circumvent this restriction?

Also, as a heads up, I've finished (hopefully) uploading the new class voicelines and I'm working my way through the Mann Brothers voicelines. I expect to be able to finish up the transcripts tonight.

14:51, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

This is something you'll probably have to ask Moussekateer, RJackson, or WindPower about, sadly. I don't have much experience in that area myself, and I don't even know if I have the privileges for it anyways. -- LordKelvin 14:53, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

Alright thanks, I thought that you would be the best to talk to since you're the only admin recently active. 14:56, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

Major Update Criteria

I was under the impression that the wiki used inclusion on [www.tf2.com/history.php] as the criteria for a major update. What standard are you using for major updates (presumably not that one, since you relisted the summer event as a major update). — Armisael (T · C) 06:47, 5 November 2013 (PST)

I was working under the presumption that, given the amount of content that was changed in the patch itself, and the fact that the update itself was previewed over several days, it qualifies as a major update. Besides which, the Scream Fortress 2013 update isn't there either, for whatever reason or other. Plus, that page, even if it's official, also lists only 390 updates total, when we're at a total of 399 as of the last one (based on manual count).

Maybe this is something that should be taken to a main discussion page (and if you want to create such a discussion, feel free to), but I feel that the Summer Event 2013 does deserve a place in the official updates, given all the major changes made in the patch. -- LordKelvin 10:08, 5 November 2013 (PST)

Grounds for category deletion

If empty and unused are not grounds for category deletion, what is? Darkid (|) 13:51, 3 December 2013 (PST)

The page itself isn't technically empty. It's a user group category, even if both contributors haven't been active for a while. If/when the page author requests the deletion, then I'll get rid of it. -- LordKelvin 13:54, 3 December 2013 (PST)

So the grounds are "Author request" only, if it's a non-wiki article? Why was User:Berna.leao/Classes/pt-br deleted then, if it was requested by a third party? Darkid (|) 13:58, 3 December 2013 (PST)

I was concerned about potential conflicting categorizations since it looked like the page used templates that come from article pages. That user group does not, so I'm going to leave it alone. -- LordKelvin 14:01, 3 December 2013 (PST)

I need a favor

Could you make various SSB userboxes, like this user's favorite fighter is blank — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Obito101man (talk) • (contribs)

Talk page stalker We have a guide on making userboxes somewhere on the wiki. Also, you can just make one userbox with multiple cases. Also don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~ Ashes (talk) 12:17, 3 June 2014 (PDT)

oh thanks Obito101man (talk) 05:17, 4 June 2014 (PDT)

Whoops!

My bad! ~Diesel (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2014 (PDT)

Question about translations..

Greetings, LordKevin. I am a French translator of this Wiki. I already translated English pages (From English into French), you can see it here. But I'm wondering if, when I've translated the page, I have to send it to a moderator, to accept my translation, or if it's automatic. Thanks a lot for your future answer, mate ! Scher2o (talk) 14:38, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

You're free to simply directly translate the pages on the Wiki. You don't need any prior permission before translating a page, others will just check your translations after the fact. -- LordKelvin 14:40, 2 July 2014 (PDT)

Wow. That was quick.

I took maybe 30 seconds to realize I added my User page wrong. I got a new one up, and was just about to start figuring out how to remove it when I found you already did.

That was insane how quickly you did that. Nice job. Pyrochu1770 (talk) 17:30, 3 October 2014 (PDT)

Why me?

I was blocked, and the reason it said I was was because someone else used my profile ID. Did I do something wrong? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leon8359 (talk) • (contribs)

There was a bug with the Wiki that occurred for a short period of time when we terminate spam bots. It should be fixed now. -- LordKelvin 12:51, 19 November 2014 (PST)

Help?

I keep making contributions, and I assure you that they are true and real. If they are not please research it because most of them are. But they are all deleted. Why. I just want to help

Please contact me

I tried it again, I made an edit on the glitch page for something I found. After multiple attempts to make it (but you deleting it) and even being accidently blocked for another person's crimes, I did it again. I have a picture of it, I CAN prove it exists. I don't know how it is caused but it is real, and very interesting in my opinion. So please, reach out to my steam account. I want to help here, but this is the only thing I have right now, don't let it go to waste, that kind of hurts Leon8359 (talk) 05:58, 5 March 2015 (PST)

Just wanted to thank you for cleaning out the marked for deletion category

And also add that the reason it's helpful to delete files (rather than let them sit unused) is it makes the "unused files" list more of a "where should this go" rather than "do we need this". Darkid (Talk | Contribs) 13:01, 23 March 2015 (PDT)

About Trending topics

Hi, I think it would be better: click. End of the Line video link we can change to any other new item (e.g. {{item link|Pool Party}}). Thank. RADIST 02:24, 28 March 2015 (PDT)

Hey, Question

Um......how much do one need to do for a wiki cap? Not cape, i know i cant get one. Mr.Balbaloo (talk) 13:38, 29 March 2015 (PDT)

There's no "minimum requirements" to get a Wiki Cap, it's not an automatic process. Please see this page and read it and the nominations page to understand how to get one. -- LordKelvin 13:42, 29 March 2015 (PDT)

Oh,sorry for waisting your time with my stupidity :( :/ --Mr.Balbaloo (talk) 07:11, 1 April 2015 (PDT)

Restoring User Page

I don't know if moderators have any privileges for restore deleted pages, if is possible, check this page and restore it. Maybe this can help. Thanks. Dio Joestar | Talk 09:54, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

Thanks again! Dio Joestar | Talk 11:52, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

Deleted my page because it's "unnecessary"?

What qualifies as unnecessary? I didn't expect an extremely popular phenomenon within the game to be unnecessary.

SpackTheCanadianSpock (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

This wiki is not for keeping track of popular community fads, and we don't need individual articles for each individual fad that may not even be notable. The primary purpose of the wiki is to document the game series, and as such we do follow a certain standard of quality. -- LordKelvin 19:31, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

Then I seriously doubt your sanity, because players may not know what these "community fads" are, and if they aren't on the OFFICIAL WIKI, they may not think the sources are credible. SpackTheCanadianSpock (talk) 19:33, 11 April 2015 (PDT)

Little question about the log.

Hi! When I log in, I can see a little Soldier icon, next to my pseudo. Is this because of something ? What does it mean ? S. 08:47, 10 May 2015 (PDT)

I'm pretty sure that it's only there as part of the customized layout/skin that the Wiki uses. Normally there would be a person icon there anyways, but it's been stylized to be a Soldier in the case of this Wiki. -- LordKelvin 10:41, 12 May 2015 (PDT)

MasterCard menace

Thanks for blocking him for a while. At least we can have some rest of those pesky 'translations' Maybe he will calm down and at least read all the stuff we gave to him for a little longer. But what should we do if he won't stop even after this? ~ Sealed 11:27, 12 May 2015 (PDT)

If he persists, I'll extend the length of the block, and if he continues then I'll eventually make it permanent.
