How'd you find him and how do you know it is him for sure? Thanks though. – Smashman _(talk) 12:31, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

We had the item id/serial of his pin on that page, and that tf2items.com page you linked me to had a list of the item ids. I search for the item id from the wiki, and found it matched up to one on that page. His Polycount account and his Steam account both say they're in Canada as well. I also found six other accounts missing, and I found three other people thanks to a page on the Polycount forums, I just can't seem to find any associated Steam accounts to those three. I just wanted to mention it to you in case you wanted to see the accounts before I added what I found to the pages. --Omolong (talk) 12:40, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

Real life Sherlock Holmes up in here! :) Everyone have their packs listed at the moment, but we probably should list as many as possible. If you could find out which packs they made, that'd be great. If you can't be bothered, I can do it next week. Cheers again, Sherlock. – Smashman _(talk) 12:58, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

All but two of the accounts I found had packs, and it looks like both of them are moderators or administrators on Polycount anyway. --Omolong (talk) 13:06, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

Excellent work! Thank you. Feel free to stick them in. :) – Smashman _(talk) 13:08, 26 June 2013 (PDT)

Item icons

Please note that item icons must be at resolution 512 × 384. Thank you. – Smashman _(talk) 13:39, 11 July 2013 (PDT)

Yeah, I realized that after I uploaded them. I've gone and corrected the sizes on my side now, so would it be alright to upload these versions? --Omolong (talk) 13:41, 11 July 2013 (PDT)

I have already fixed them. – Smashman _(talk) 13:42, 11 July 2013 (PDT)

Wait, I have only fixed a few. Feel free to fix the rest. – Smashman _(talk) 13:43, 11 July 2013 (PDT)

Alright, I'll do it! I apologize for the error, though. I didn't know about the size until after I uploaded them all. --Omolong (talk) 14:34, 11 July 2013 (PDT)

Oh, sweet, thanks for that! --Omolong (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2013 (PDT)

Thanks and question

How can I check is item is paintable or not? I'm kinda a little bit lost. Thnak you for your advice :3 Goora (talk) 11:32, 27 July 2013 (PDT)

If you go into the Mann Co Catalog, and look through it for your item, it will say which tools can be used on it, like Name Tags, Description Tags and so on. If there is something called Paint Can in amongst that, then that item is paintable. If not, then it's not paintable. Another way to do it would be to look through the schema for it, but that's a bit more awkward. Though, it doesn't rely on the item server being up, which the Catalog does. --Omolong (talk) 11:36, 27 July 2013 (PDT)

Pictures

How do you get those pictures? Wetro (talk) 09:57, 28 August 2013 (PDT)

I use Half Life Model Viewer for it. This page and the links on it should help. --Omolong (talk) 10:01, 28 August 2013 (PDT)

Im wondering how you dont have the wiki cap! you deserve more than one. SERIOUSLY GUYS GIVE THIS POOR SOUL A WIKI CAP! I don't want to bugger up nominating you, so that may be why =3 StarHorder 13:17, 11 September 2013 (PDT)

Oh, thank you! I never really expected people to think I deserve a Wiki Cap that much! And I understand your reasoning behind not nominating me, and it's fine! But again, thank you! --Omolong (talk) 14:49, 11 September 2013 (PDT)

About editing

I saw you added a lot of template that should use on another page except English like {{common string}} {{item link}}, which should be use on another language pages. Please revert back your own edits because if on single page have too many templates, it'll take a longer time to load and those templates aren't necessary one. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 19:40, 13 September 2013 (PDT)

I am wondering why you reverted my edit on Horned Honcho even though it was undoing trivia saying it was a reference to Hellboy, when you told me I could not do that. Legomaster445 (talk) 17:33, 22 December 2013 (PST)

Your edit I reverted in the past was because the page already said that the item was a reference to Hellboy, so it didn't need restating. This time around, I reverted your edit because the information you removed was the only part of the page that said the item was a reference to Hellboy, so obviously it was still needed on the page. Hope this helps. --Omolong (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2013 (PST)

I, for one, am wondering, why, firstly, you posted this on a section made by another user, and why you are still removing the trivia, even if people have warned you that it IS a reference to Hellboy. Also that wording is pretty poor and i can barely understand what you are saying, please try to be clearer next time. Lumpy3 (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2013 (PST)

When I first did the edit, I am not being angry or anything like that, I read the page and it did not say anything about Hellboy. I was just questioning. The one time it was not saying somebody deleted my edit for the one soldier Halloween misc, it was not saying somebody was reverting it okay. I am still calm as of now. I did not know of anywhere else to ask this since he was the one to revert it. Legomaster445 (talk) 17:42, 22 December 2013 (PST)

You could always add translations to Template:Self-illumination. I think it's pretty needed. --Omolong (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2013 (PDT)

Request

Hi, Omolong, could you leave some painted variants of items for me? I want add Painted variants for some items, but now i have some problems with model viewer. (/) 14:59, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

Hey, feel free to do some. There are 68 items that need painting, I can't possibly do them all on my own. Let me know if you need any help with anything, though. What's wrong with your model viewer, anyway? --Omolong (talk) 15:01, 30 October 2013 (PDT)

About the Secret Diary

Can you show me the link about that? Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 05:18, 18 November 2013 (PST)

Yeah, sure. This Steam discussion topic has an image where you can sort of see the Diary, and there's a video showing it on the Heavy as well. This Reddit post has an Imgur album (link here) showing the Diary on the Medic from a few angles. I can get the relevant stuff from the schema as well, if needed. Hopefully, this will be enough, though. --Omolong (talk) 05:32, 18 November 2013 (PST)

Ok, Strong proof. I'll look for more source next time then. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 05:44, 18 November 2013 (PST)

dude, WTH am i not allowed to point out stuff like the money furness's upper pipe looking like a medic robot's — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eggmantheheavy (talk) • (contribs)

I found that it wasn't really trivia, based on the trivia style guide. Specifically, I found that it was speculative and observational. In addition, you should sign your messages on talk pages with ~~~~. --Omolong (talk) 11:13, 25 November 2013 (PST)

Anything I can do to help?

I've just started, and I want to be helpful to the wiki, is there anythign I can do?

TheRobin™ 12:19, 14 December 2013 (PST)

It'd depend on if you have any skills that can be useful. Come on over to the IRC, it'd be easier to discuss these things. --Omolong (talk) 12:37, 14 December 2013 (PST)

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Just saying thank you for helping me get started, its very helpful. I would post something on the wiki hat nominations but i do not know how to do it correctly (when i do work out how to do it i will post) Haskellthegreat (talk) 03:50, 22 December 2013 (PST)

Eggmantheheavy (about KLAS BAKB)

whats the meaning of getting rid of my thing on the ARG page about those folders? heres a link to some proof http://imgur.com/9qY1YVi — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eggmantheheavy (talk) • (contribs)

As I said in my summary, we don't know if it's an actual ARG yet. It could just be Valve teasing a future update, or it could potentially be an ARG, it'll be hard to be certain until we get more info to do with it. --Omolong (talk) 05:52, 31 December 2013 (PST)

the mvm update? the pyromania update? they all used a form of hidden message,this is another hidden message, a message that my freind, arrran weeviling is trying to decode so, to me its ARG, a mystery that we, the tf2 community must solve, now are you with me or not? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eggmantheheavy (talk) • (contribs)

We don't know if this is an actual hidden message or just an update tease. We know that Valve are working on things for the next year, and it wouldn't be the first time Valve have added something like this to the game/the game files that's just hinting at an update, rather than being part of an ARG. Until there is more evidence to support this being an ARG, it shouldn't be added to the ARG page. In addition, you should sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~. Thanks. --Omolong (talk) 06:06, 31 December 2013 (PST)

then tell me, where should i put it? --Eggmantheheavy (talk) 06:12, 31 December 2013 (PST)

It's already listed in the patch notes for the update it came with, so lets leave it there until we get more info. --Omolong (talk) 06:22, 31 December 2013 (PST)

Correct order for templates?

Hey,

I'm somewhat new to wiki editing, so this probably seems like a dumb question, but here goes. I have made a few minor edits to the Collector's table template, and each time, the items I add are re-ordered. What is the proper order for items like that, so I don't keep messing it up in the future? - Sventlin (talk) 15:54, 3 February 2014 (PST)

The Collector's template has the items listed in order they were released, and I've then been putting them in alphabetical order if multiple items were released at the same time. Other templates will have it differently, but I think most do have them in the order of release date. --Omolong (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2014 (PST)
