Caterogories for Serbian

As you said this option will be marked for deletion, must say that I'm little bit disappointed. I hoped that this kind of feature will help my fellow citizens for easier guide through Wiki but nevertheless i understand the situation. One thing I will just ask, not to undo any pages that was added these new categories, if you want to edit this and remove categories they are all on the top of page (the very first line of text) in every article, however if there is no rush i will remove this categories tomorrow.
Best regards (fell free to delete this chapter after reading and if you like to reply do it on my talk)
--EternalFlameOfFreedom 16:45, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Many thanks for the cookies with milk. It was difficult, but translate the main part is almost completed. Without your hints, it would have dragged on for a long time. =)

Croatian Categories

AndyCro, I think we are going to have to remove the Croatian categories off of pages. In the last 2 weeks several users have tried to categorize pages based on their languages. As I try to explain that the main language of the wiki is English, like the game. I get asked, well what about the Croatian categories??? So... I think we have to remove them or we have to let every language have its own categories --- that will make it horrible unmanageable. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 15:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

OK baby, as I put them up, I will replace them and while I am replacing them, I will update the articles. OK baby? --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 15:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you my darling! --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Task completed. I have moved this section to your talk page as I hope that you will put this discussion into your archive! :) --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 13:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


Off topic, do you know is there a place in which are eRepublik dates written with regular dates (Day 173 = 12 May 2008)? I have done a mistake in updating history (one day :(!!!) and I am correcting this now, but I would like to stop doing this mistake in the future. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 15:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
No as far as I know, there is no RL to eRep conversion chart :D. I don't even know if we started on day 1 or day 0. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Day 0! xD --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 13:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Greetings from Chile

Hi! Thanks for the message. I fight a lot for get a wiki account and now I can fix all the Lat-Am section, in English and Spanish, because the section is deserted. See ya! --IVicentico 23:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Requires Formatting

See this page Director (discussion page:Talk:Director), I have reedited the article. Can I remove the Formatting Template now?--• • Prince Terence II Why Speak?! • • 04:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

And you have done a nice job, I like it. The data now has more info about the director positions, so I believe that you can remove the template. :) --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 08:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

What is the Wiki policy on citizen pages?

When I created my citizen page it linked from the game. I was told not to do this, just to make it with my name and not the citizen preface. I was also told not to make redirect as they would just be deleted. Its the same with political parties. Is this still the case? Are they changing the links in game or not? --Reclusive Monkey 10:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

We don't know when they will be doing this. For now, all citizens are free to create wiki links between the game and their citizen, company, organization, or party. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

RE: New pages.

New Pages

Hi, you have created a lot of new pages. Though there isn't anything wrong with this, the problem is that they are all stubs and incomplete. We hope that you will continue to work on these pages to complete them. Let us know if you have any questions. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello there. Um - in regards to this. I was just wondering: I have been creating pages for some of the previous cabinet members in my country (Australia) to try and make the cabinet members page look more official. The only problem with this is that some of these members happened well before my time, so i am only able to glean partial information about them, as i wasnt around when they were.

is it okay for me to be creating stubs, and making it so that there is less to fill in, for the "oldies" ?

And the second reason that i didnt create more than stubs is that for those players that were still highly active now, i didnt want to step on their toes and flesh out their pages for them (in case they didnt want it worded like i would, etc.

- [User: Timeoin| Timeoin]

Timeoin, we have determined that no one owns their own wiki article. Therefore, you may edit anyone's article so long as it is accurate and objective. Feel free to flesh their articles our for them. --Chris Stanwick 15:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Chris: i would. But i wasnt around when some of these people were around. Im hoping i can con patti or someone into adding more details :) [User: Timeoin]

The problem with creating incomplete pages in the wiki is that they often stay incomplete. You are just leaving work for someone else to finish later. And it rarely happens that someone does it. Clearing the stubs is one of the ongoing projects listed in the Bar every month. Honestly, I am more inclined to just delete these short pages instead of taking the time to update them because they are of low quality/value. Every author needs to take personal responsibility for the pages he or she creates. They don't own the page, but to create it, he or she must put adequate effort into it - meaning a properly filled out template, image, and some text. If you do not have the time, energy, or knowledge to do this, then you aren't the one to be creating the page. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Idea

Can we add the link to your newspaper (Wiki Chronicle) - http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/wiki-chronicle-184130/1 - and other useful links in the MediaWiki:Anonnotice? This notice is seen by all not logged in visitors of the Wiki. What do you think? --Belea2008 22:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

We can if you want, but it means more pressure for me to update it, right? --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Independents politicians

I think there isn't any category for that (well, eR doesn't support it in his coding [bad coding]), how can I create one?, and also, maybe it should be called from the Party subsection in the citizen template (it calls a "Members of Independent" category, that isn't created), but with a proper name, something like "Independents politicians"..., there is any way to code it all (and also, to add that exception in the template's core, I still don't understand them much, so I don't know how to add another if command, and well, I can't edit it). Well, I'm proposing it more in the idea that it's a clear difference between apolitical people and independent politicians, and that they shouldn't be labeled equally, even if ingame status says things like that, and you think that until seing the citizen's newspaper, or searching for comments in the media, and obviously, in the country forums. Also, I think it should come with a modification in the name of that subcategory, something like "Political Affiliation".

I think that is all, good luck, ;)

PS: I don't know if this goes better in the Bar, or just here, XD PS2: I forgot to sign..., --Purohueso 20:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

As far as I am concerned no party can mean independent or apolitical. The thing is, the structure of the game forces politicians to be in a party to be elected. If a person considers themselves political independent, he or she can write about his or her beliefs in the text of the article. The template doesn't have to say everything. "Members of Independent" is the way categories are coded in the template, there is no way at this point to change it. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Bias

I love my party, how to I write a neutral article? if I don't write it, no one will... --Travis Bergman

Maybe you should write it anyway, and ask someone more neutral to "neutralize" it, but try your best effort in doing so, and if you don't know how to put some thing that don't match with a "I love it" type, as fails or thing like that (that obvioulsy apply to the wiki), put them in the Talk Page so the rest can put them if necessary, ;)
PS: Ah, you forgot to sign, but I put a link to your User Page, so that is solved, :P --Purohueso 17:27, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't even remember what party this is anymore, so I can't respond directly. The best advice is to read other party pages. Describe the party... Who, What, When, Where, How. What are the goals? Describe what the party wants to accomplish. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:59, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

My Articles

Hi. This article needs some more work Declaration of Independence of the Nation of Hawaii

Another category based on article content (if appropriate) (Category:United States of America. Proper citation on where the article came from in the game - Newspaper name, URL, Author A brief sentence summarizing the article Links back and forth to the author's or newspaper's wiki page (if possible), so they won't be in Special:LonelyPages Wiki links to other pages in the wiki, link to Hawaii. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I have similar comments for all the other articles you created. Please review other articles that have been done to make sure that these are formatted, linked, cited properly. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 14:21, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Please Explain further in detail on which of these Principles I Have not completed, They are ALL linked to a player and Article, they All have a A small Setence summrizing the Article, The only thing that I Have not done from what I know is Links to other Wikki pages, Im useing a format to link pages like this {{eLink|Profile...article...Forum||Number|Text} What should I use for Wikki links?EZStreetTalk To Me

Am I Not Wrighting This in the Right place? How Did those Not fit the Outlines? Please Explain so I Can become a better Editor on Wikki!?EZStreetTalk To Me

Ok Please review this: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php?title=Free_the_land_of_the_Southern_Cross!&diff=205410&oldid=204725 You can see your article with the changes I made. First of all, there is a category, the article is about Australia, so it gets put in the category for Australia. It is linked to other pages in the wiki, Australia and Indonesia. The introduction sentence was changed to describe what the article is about. It is clearly defined in the header where the original article begins, and the link is the name, making it easier for citizens to find it. The spelling, capitalization, and punctuation has been fixed.

These are other articles you can look at to see the format: Admins_have_feelings_too or Special_Report:_Portugal. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Template translator

I'm eager to become templates editor for translating them into Latvian (specially) and Russian (optionally). -- Dark Eagle (talk) 12:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, at least by now you can create the translations in a Sandbox..., I had already done it with citizen and country templates translating them to spanish..., you still can use them, just put where it should be the template name (first line) User:[your user]/Sandbox[number], that way it will work..., this is an example of how to call them if you didn't understood me , :P -- Purohueso (talk if you want) 13:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Andy and Hrvat experiments

Hello baby. Hrvat is going to "update" articles with have flag-United Kingdom and replace it with Flag-UK. This is much less work than doing it any other way. But, he will create some "non-existant categories". I know about it and I will do it when he will be done. So, don't do anything with UK categories in next few days. Thank you baby. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 10:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

That is fine, my darling. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 15:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Game over. xD
We (Hrvat has done the big part) are finished. And, off topic, I answered on one of your questions - Talk:Gabriel_Meflusar (better late than never).--AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 16:11, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

WHY?

Slurp... You must be hungry after all the awesome editing you've done to this Wiki, have some milk and a cookie as a reward! Yum.

WHY are you deleting all redirects? Some are needed... Or need to be replaced because things link to them.... please see the discussion in the bar. Deleting these means it will be harder for us to fix things later. We should only be taking out the redirects that deal with citizen, company, region, country, newspaper, party. The rest, let me deal with. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 13:24, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

All right. Thank you for informing us. We will be careful in the next few days to delete only the redirects that deal with citizen, company, region, country, newspaper, party. --Admin 14:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Finished. From a quick check, we concluded that all redirects with prefixes have been deleted.
We consider that a maximum number of less than 500 redirects is easiest to maintain than more than 500 of them.
Let us know what the Wiki community decides regarding the rest of the redirects.
Thanks for the help you have given us in deleting unwanted redirects!
--Admin 15:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Why was my user page blanked?

Did I do something wrong? Did the template change? Could you please offer an explanation when completely blanking out a page, please? --Jmoore 04:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

  • Ah nevermind. I see that you've moved it to its rightful place. Sorry, I'm new to the community and it looks like I happened to check in just as you were fixing it.--Jmoore 04:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Panslavix

Sorry, but I did reply to counter the suggested deletion for both Panslavix and the ESA on the ESA talk page Talk:European Social Alliance. I thought at the time I wouldn't bother copying the same discussion to both talk pages, I assumed you would see the ESA talk and discuss it there. However, I was annoyed to see the Panslavix article deleted, especially as I would see that as the more important of the two. I won’t bother repeating my arguments here, but I still think both the articles should be kept. --Martin23230 21:17, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

That is fair, I will do some updating to make them more relevant. Thank you.--Martin23230 17:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Dear QJ!
I was taking look at some categories, and I have found several, by my thoughts, not needed. Also, for some of them I have found an alternative categories, while some should be erased indefinitely. Could you take look at this list below and tell me would this be a good idea, or should I leave everything as it is...
List of the categories not needed and my suggestion with what to replace them:

And on the end, is it really necessary to put Categories, for example, Category:United Kingdom and Category:Politics of the United Kingdom on the same page? It should be enough to put Category:Politics of the United Kingdom as this is in fact subcategory of Category:United Kingdom. I simply do not see the need to put both of them. Thank you darling! --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 21:48, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

We have moved alliances pages to their short names (for example, see the EDEN page). We have also deleted all the redirects related to alliances. Let us know your feedback and suggestions. --Admin 12:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

We would also wish to know what will happen to redirects related to parties (examples: Romania Unita or The Golden Party or TUP). --Admin 12:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
We also propose the following:
  • currency pages to have the short version (example: United States Dollar to be moved to USD and the redirect deleted);
  • military ranks to be deleted (example: Colonel);
I would leave this because too many links (including template RANK) are pointing there and it will be a horror to watch over it after you delete it. (it is easier to leave it) -- AndyCro
  • CTP related redirects to be deleted (example: eRepublik:Citizen Page Tutorial - Create);
I didn't delete it? I thought that I delete that already. --AndyCro
Tell us what you think. --Admin 12:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
We also wish to know what is the view of the Wiki Community regarding cities pages (which are, almost all of them, redirects). --Admin 12:43, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
To sum up, we know that the process of cleaning the redirects list is long and "boring". Please guide us in order to offer you and other contributors help in order to make the process faster and smoother. --Admin 12:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
While you are waiting for QJ's answer, I have wrote my opinions! ;) --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 11:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I answered on the User:Admin Page. --QJ Lincoln Talk To Me 19:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Is it good now? Am i doing it right?

Thanks for undertanding --Macedonian Lion 23:36, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

You've really made a difference to my wiki page. Thanks a lot. Petrica Somalezu
