| + | [http://sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Redjack_Ryan×tamp=20071102035339 This article] is plagiarized from http://www.kerensky.ultraforce.org/btech/periphery/butte.html. The webpage itself is, I believe, plagiarized from an official BT book (''Periphery''?), so it's possible that it came from the book or a different webpage that also copied the text of the book. Nonetheless, it has no place here. [[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 10:09, 2 November 2007 (CDT) |
| − | | + | :Deleted. I'm moving this to my talk page for archival and accountability purposes. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 10:17, 2 November 2007 (CDT) |

| − | *Good work with all those disambigs last night. Got a lot done! --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 10:47, 14 December 2006 (CST)

| − | :I'd like to think so, but I know otherwise. I once done about two or three hundred of the things manually, from scratch… never been quite able to equal my previous pace, not sure I want to either; it burns you out too quickly. I'm sure CJ can attest to that fact — it becomes seriously physically draining after a while, like with any work I guess. Nonetheless, thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 11:34, 14 December 2006 (CST)

| − | :::It's called "work", y'know, that thing we don't do over at the UDWiki. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 02:00, 15 December 2006 (CST)

| − | ::::Hehe, true. Although something more specific would have been helpful. --[[User:The General|The General]]<sup>[[User_talk:The_General|T]]</sup> 06:11, 15 December 2006 (CST)

| − | :::::Essentailly, ambiguity sucks. Disambiguation is the process of systematically removing it through making the first point of reference impossible to take the wrong way. For example; [[Atlas]] redirects to [[Atlas (disambiguation)]]. That page tells you that "Atlas might be this 'Mech, or it might be this planet". That way you don't end up at at [[Atlas]] and go, "Hey, that's not the planet! Where's that planet's article?" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation Wikipedia's internal documentation] about disambiguation pages and their purpose should further enlighten you to exactly what I was doing. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 07:05, 15 December 2006 (CST)

| − | ==Wikipedia tag ==
| |
| − | *Xoid, it doesn't seem to work properly with article names that include a space. I'm looking at out [[Chaos March]] article, and it seems to want to refer to either the Chaos or March article at Wikipedia. Any insight? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 11:07, 17 December 2006 (CST)

| − | ==Spelling==
| |
| − | Thanks for the heads up on the alternate spellings. I didn't realize that there was more than one acceptable spelling for those words. I agree that a dictionary for BtWiki would be a good idea. Especially since there are a great number of words that are specific to the BT universe, many of which are hard to spell. I’d be happy to help create a dictionary for spell checking for the BT wiki but I have no idea how to do that. -[[User:AidanPryde|AidanPryde]] 15:06, 17 December 2006 (CST)

| − | ==RE: Boo==
| |
| − | Yeah, I'm still here. I was reading some of the stuff over at Wikipedia, and I'm thinking that some of the stuff I've been doing would be more appropriate over here. I might start moving my articles here, then working on the pages here as well. Haven't decided yet, but it's good to have the choice.

| − | == Xoid-ified templates ==
| |
| − | Hey, if I try and create a Xoid-ified template based on the documentation you provided, do I need to go back and do anything to the articles created with the previous version of the template? I'm thinking of building some book article stubs, but want to be sure to treat the previous articles kindly. Thanks. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 10:36, 14 January 2007 (CST)

| − | ::I've been making my bones on Wikipedia a lot recently (joined the CVU) and am getting much more comfortable with transclusion. I may be coming back here in force soon, with this confidence. {{Unsigned|Revanche}}

| − | == Template:Cite ==
| |
| − | Xoid, ma-man: can you help me understand why this isn't working? Is it that ref code you've asked Nic for? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 00:25, 28 January 2007 (CST)

| − | :What seems to be the problem? It looks okay, but without seeing where it's not working… --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 01:49, 28 January 2007 (CST)

| − | ::[[Federated Suns]]. Page-find 'Amanda.' Background is I had her name confirmed by Roosterboy (at CBT) and wanted to cite the reference. I brought this template over from wikipedia & modified it for 'our' books. But its either not working because of my mod or because it doesn't have the support loaded here. I didn't make the change last night because it didn't work, but I am adding it in now for your review. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 09:04, 28 January 2007 (CST)

| − | ::Second review makes me think I'm just not sure how to properly employ it. It 'fails' the same where here as at Wikipedia. Any guidance would be appreciated. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 09:11, 28 January 2007 (CST)
