Gender neutralization

Thanks for correcting that gender neutralization issue on those 2 userboxes I made >.o Can't believe I forgot to make sure I used proper terminology! 404 User Not Found 23:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Wear it with pride!

Congratulations again, old chum. You have been around the Wiki for ages fixing and polishing things, and you certainly deserve it. Esquilax 23:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Note to Self

Just because you haven't had any particularly ugly incidents with "Show Preview" doesn't mean that you can slack off. --LordKelvin 07:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Yo, about the class match-up pages.

I ran through and looked at the style guide for strategy.

"Strategy pages contain advice instead of neutral statements about gameplay, so writing "you," giving commands, being accurate and being brief are preferred to encyclopedic language. Whenever applicable, the scope of a strategy should be specified. In some cases, this will require phrases that are normally weasel words, such as "probably" and "on occasion."

Anyway, you know I'm already going through and revising those pages. So with the aid of the style guide, I'm against not using "you" to address the reader. Thoughts? I should be able to remove the cleanup tag once I'm done, right? Also, nice mech on the front page. I notice these things! -- InShane 22:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

The thing is, "you" is fine if used occasionally, but it sounds unprofessional when it's applied a few hundred times in an article (which it is on the community strategy pages). I would much prefer that it be used as little as possible, and if it can be avoided then all the better. --LordKelvin 02:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

My main concern as of now is the basic strategy pages, which you marked for cleanup. It sounds really awkward to say "A Pyro should do this" instead of "You should do this (as a Pyro)." I have the feeling that you've probably talked to Zoolooman about this before, but he's the one that convinced me to the "you" side, especially because it flows better. -- InShane 02:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Due to their relative length, I wouldn't be against using "you"s on the basic strategy pages, it's just that it starts to grate in the match-ups and community strategy sections. Since you're the one who's keeping an eye on those sections though, I'd say feel free to edit them however you see fit. --LordKelvin 02:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah, cripes, I also meant class match-ups. Those pages, as of my edits, contain general tips for class-to-class fighting, sorta like "basic class match-ups." Actually, that reminds me of an idea - Basic Match-up pages, and Community Match-up pages, like the ones you're creating on the Community Strategy Pages. -- InShane 02:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Well then, feel free to remove the cleanup tags and edit them as you see fit. And as for the community match-ups pages, that's what I'm actually working on, I just want to try to actually create one of each section for each class before proposing it to a mod. --LordKelvin 02:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:Comment

Could you have a look at it again? I'm relatively certain {{c}} used to produce  Comment, but it doesn't anymore. --CruelCow ^(talk) 14:18, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 Comment Just checked it, fixed. -- LordKelvin 15:35, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 Comment Thanks. --CruelCow ^(talk) 00:03, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to ask you if I could use your To-Do List structure as inspiration for my own. Thanks much. Triscuitable 00:37, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

• Hello.It's me,~www~,again.I appreciated that you approved my request of deleting the copied zh-hans pages.
  Actually,what I marked was just a small part of it.There are much more pages which have been copied by Chinese.They pissed me off, I'm in fury toward them right now.
  Therefore, I think I will mark more pages in these days.Hope you don't think it's weird or something.Because the Chinese had done this kind of act for a long time, and they left many copied pages.I'm done with them.I want to make this horrible act end.
  I hope you and and other admins can continue accepting my requests of deletion in the future, I will be very thankful for that.

Wikichievement Get!

Wikichievement	Awarded by	Reason
Quality Editor Re-write or heavily expand an article to the point where it is considered great.	Stevoisiak	Wikichievement unlocked! You cleaned up multiple community strategy pages. The unruly, chaotic, messy, community strategy pages. No more needs to be said.

Congrats. :3 --Stevoisiak 23:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)W

Sorry about that

I'm too used to Wikia. SalaComMander 07:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Comm. Strategy Edit

Hey LK.

Apologies for the aggressive editing. During my time on Wikipedia, I was usually encouraged to "be bold" with edits and felt little need for the section considering the "match up" and "anti-class" strat pages do a similar job anyway - plus I felt that the section made the rest of the article feel quite bloated. Although, to be fair, I was reading the Spy Strat article beforehand and got a little annoyed that things like cloaked reload time animations were written down there.

Still, apologies for the "unadvised", should we say, edit. Still, I'd like to propose a proper "manual of style" for the community strategy articles. It seems, perhaps being their nature, that their content seems inconsistent with each other - perhaps it's something yourself and I could start working on? :D Regards. --Leftism 19:49, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent Oktoberfest edit

There are multiple pages where there is additional information on obscure patch notes. These additions are in brackets and are used to clarify. I don't see why you are suddenly against this.--Focusknock 05:32, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

The user in question was adding all sorts of pointless and false information on various pages, so it may very well have been a false alarm. However, from my understanding the patch history information is meant to closely follow the actual patch notes as close as possible, and the information added on that page didn't seem relevant enough to keep. -- LordKelvin 08:59, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

Sorry

I was just copying your user box and I accidentally edited your user page. It was an accident.Bigbangbilly 17:56, 23 August 2011 (PDT)

Wow

Thank you so much for The Pilkman. It's genuinely one of the coolest hats I now own! -- Pilk ^(talk) 01:29, 8 September 2011 (PDT)

Moderator guidelines

This is just a generic message to notify all mods/admins of the finally-in-writing moderator guidelines. If you don't agree with any of the guidelines, or just have questions, feel free to let me know on my talk page or in IRC. Cheers. -- Pilk ^(talk) 06:31, 24 September 2011 (PDT)

User hat checklist template rewrite.

Since we seem to be the ones that predominantly edit the user hat checklist template and we're both apparently trying to figure out what to do with the new Halloween hats, I think we should change the template a bit; there seems to be too many different sections (Classes, All, Promo, Event, Mask), and it could probably stand to be trimmed down to Classes and All. I polled a few other folks, and they all seem to agree; Tturboo thinks that we could probably change the background color on some of the items to denote quality as well. What do you think? ButteredToast 08:28, 29 October 2011 (PDT)

It sounds like a good idea, honestly, because that Promos section is getting way too big. I think Event should retain its own section though, since some of them are holiday-restricted. -- LordKelvin 09:27, 11 November 2011 (PST)

Welcome back and all that.

I understand that you recently returned from a long vacation, so to welcome you back I'm Ghana think of some amusing puns for you. So Howe was the trip? Where did you Goa? Did you have a Wales of a time? Did you travel by sea or by Rhodes? If I can give you a Pisa advice, you should travel more often. Anyway, I'll see if I can Greece the wheels a bit and come up with more puns, but I Congo on for a while, so just tell me when you are sick of travel puns and I will think of Samoa topics. I would not wish to become a Budapest after all. --- Esquilax 19:01, 24 May 2012 (PDT)

I am both awestruck and besaddened by the above statement. Truly the fine work of a master pun craftsman/craftswoman/craftsthing. I for one welcome our new Kelvin Lords, without the appropriate punniness, to my dismay. — Wind 19:05, 24 May 2012 (PDT)

How is such wordsmithery even possible. Gottam Esky is a hacker. Now, Kelvin... hai :3 I missed you more than real_alien feeds -RJ 09:30, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

Awww! You flatter me, and don't worry fellows, if one or both of you decide to take an extended holiday, I'll welcome you back in style. You can even pre-select the topic! I can also spam-up your respective Talk pages upon request, but I will need some material to work with ;). --- Esquilax 16:20, 27 May 2012 (PDT)

That stuff

That stuff with the things is still happening, I just have not got around to it. Sorry sir. :( -- Pilk ^(talk) 04:05, 16 August 2012 (PDT)

The deed is done. I cannot believe it took me so long. Please accept my sincere apologies. -- Pilk ^(talk) 05:55, 30 August 2012 (PDT)

I just received the package today. You sure know how to brighten up a man's day, thank you! -- LordKelvin 15:53, 8 September 2012 (PDT)

Yay! -- Pilk ^(talk) 03:16, 20 September 2012 (PDT)

Wiki Assistance

Hello! The other day I noticed the layout of the TF2 Wiki and I find it quite appealing. I play on a Minecraft server known as The VoxelBox, and we also have our own wiki. What I wanted to know is how you were able to change the backdrop of the wiki, the format of the custom buttons and sidebar of your wiki page. I'd appreciate it if you could share some professional insight on how you guys did it, we would be very happy to know. We find our Wiki page to be very bland, and we were hoping that you would help and give us information on how to spice it up a bit. Once again, it'd be very appreciative to have your help on this.

Thank you very much, RyanM16.

Hi RyanM16, thank you for showing interest in our Wiki.

The person that you want to get in contact with is WindPower, he's the one who manages the major aspects of our Wiki. I myself have relatively little knowledge of the Wiki code since I'm not the one who maintains it, but he can certainly help you. -- LordKelvin 18:55, 6 September 2012 (PDT)

On behalf of The Voxel Box, thank you :). Johnsmom 18:58, 6 September 2012 (PDT)

OPTF2

Since you were the one who originally reported it. I meant to ask you something about backpack pages. Remind me in the IRC channel to elaborate later when I remember/review what it was. -- Lagg 03:22, 20 September 2012 (PDT)
