Why did my SoundWage account get removed? PLEASE GIVE ME A REASON. Restore it, and I'll stop making new accounts. - [[User:Catfan|Catfan]] 10:42, 20 October 2013 (EDT)
==Downshift (UT) move==

Hey man, I hate to be a pain, but doesn't the [[Help:Style guide|style guide]] say to abbreviate Energon, Armada, and Cybertron as (UT)? He's not a Cybertron character, apparently, but we could mark on the page that he's from the Energon portion of the Unicon Trilogy continuity. - [[User:Doogles|Doogles]] 21:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

:Hi, Doogles - The style guide is undergoing revision, see note on the community portal. It could probably be better marked. We had a long discussion on the Community Portal's talk page about it and eventually decided to use the franchise of origin for characters if and only if they needed disambiguation. So, no more "UT" suffixes. Sometime after Comic Con and the academic conference I'm going to right after that, I will update all the wiki's help pages. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 22:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

=="series Character"==
No. I thought it was necessary after seeing how absurdly bloated the Generation 1 category was and thought it would make things much more organized. I'm only doing it for series that have a significant amount of articles that aren't characters; I'm not doing pointless ones like "Operation Combination characters", as only one article in "Operation Combination" isn't a character page. Same goes for stuff like Robot Masters and Victory.

My interpretation of the Generation 1 category differs from yours, evidently. I take "Generation 1" to be the catch-all category of the continuity family, which includes stuff like the Beast Era and Robot Masters. Obviously, this includes Classics. [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 17:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

:I agree that the Generation 1 category was bloated and I think having a "Generation 1 characters" category to address that is a good thing. I also think that this sort of significant reshuffling of how we categorize things could probably have stood to have been thoroughly discussed somewhere, like the Community Portal's talk page, prior to implementation. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 18:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

==David Kaye==

I'm not sure about the word "regularly". In this context, it means Kaye has voiced both characters multiple times, and yeah, there are multiple episodes of Animated, but Animated should be taken as a whole. It's the only ''one'' series in which Kaye has voiced Optimus. "Regularly", used like this, I would expect to convey the same role across multiple series.

At the same time, G1 Megatron's speaking role in BW was so *small*... --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 18:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

:By your definition, Frank Welker's Galvatron wasn't a regular role, as he only voiced him for one full season + three episodes, where Kaye voiced Galvatron for three series.
:For Animated, Prime is a regular role for Kaye. He was hired to voice the main protaginest for the entire series. This isn't like the VA for Sixshot, who was hired to voice one character in a single episode, Wally Burr who would fill in to voice a recurring character if the main VA was unavailiable, or the various regular VAs who would also voice the one line for "Guard #1" --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 19:17, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

::I see what you're saying. For the record, I was going along the line of thought that "regular role" and "voiced regularly" were two seperate (though similar) uses of the word "regular". Apparently that line of thought isn't a common one, nor the one by which the word is used.
::I still don't think the word needs to be there; the sentence makes perfect sense and is still noteable without it, unless I'm forgetting something. King Starscream, at least, seems to have used the same thought process I did, so the note as-is may again be considered inaccurate by others. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 20:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
[[User:Lordhighannoyingstarscream|Lordhighannoyingstarscream]] 21:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC) I am a new user here and I am also sorry for the caption thing, but i just discovered that someone took away all the humourous captions and sarcasm in [[Vector Sigma]]'s info page. he is a somwhat important character so I think somebody should look into that. I also had an idea for the [[Unicron Trilogy]] so if yoyu wanna fix anything i put a basic theme there as well as some content and images.

==Edit conflict==
My apologies about that. Believe me, I know what that's like. And it was on my own talk page. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 00:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

==Comic dates==
Why did you add dates to to original miniseries, then make them "unknown"? The month for original publication of The Transformers was right, if nothing - I got it from an old issue of Marvel Age. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 15:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:crazysteve had made a [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/371bda38dd8ae979?hl=en#08a422e4fbc2a95c post] on a.t.t where he was trying to figure out the actual release dated for the original miniseries. the dated for issues 3 and 4 come from Marvel Age issues 21 and 24. He then deduced issue two came out on July 31 and issue 1 came out on may 29th. However, there was a review of issue 1 posted on net.comics at midnight on may 21, so I then removed the release dated for issues 1 and 2. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 15:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::... oh. Apparently I am a liar, as I not only did not add the month for issue #1, but - having dug out my copy of Marvel Age #17 - the original publication date for issue #1 was sometime in April. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 16:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Spoilers in profiles ==

For fuck's sake, stop putting spoilers in the character profiles! Those go in the Fiction sections, and always with the <nowiki>{{spoiler}}</nowiki> template. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 01:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
:Er, was there more than just the one? Because I was only aware of the one in Nanosec that got edited, and am not exactly sure how I merit a "for fuck's sake stop doing ____" notice.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 01:14, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== Note ==

Do not revert me, I have been instructed by staff to remove all edits by this user. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] 23:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

:"Evidence" is present in the article history, btw, but you need not worry, this is being handled. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] 23:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

::If you have problems, please talk to [[wikia:User talk:CatherineMunro|Catherine]], I am following her instructions. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] 23:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

== Charitwo ==

Yeah, I just spotted who he was and apologized on his Talk page while you were messaging me.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 23:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

==Western Governors University==

Hi -- I just responded to [[wikia:Forum:Issues_with_adds|your post on Central]] about the audio ads. Thanks for spotting that ad -- you're right, it's not cool, and we killed it. It wasn't something that somebody at Wikia saw and approved... We get our ads from ad servers, and once in a while, they try to slip something through that crosses the line.

Unfortunately, that means that we only know about a bad ad when we see it, and sometimes, the users will see it before we do. I'm usually the person who notices them -- I'm on the wikis a lot, and I have a very low tolerance for distracting ads.

So if you see an ad like that again, please let me know -- you can leave me a message on my talk page here, and I'll make sure it's taken care of. It's important to me that we don't have ads on the site that drive users away.

Also, let me know if there's anything else I can help with. My thing is the Entertainment sites, and Teletraan I is one of the biggest and best. So I'm always available, if there's something you need. Talk to you later! -- [[User:Toughpigs|Danny]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|talk]]) 22:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

:Hmmm, I just came back to check and I saw the WGU ad again. I'll see if I can figure out why it's still running, and get it turned off for good. If you see it again, please let me know... -- [[User:Toughpigs|Danny]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|talk]]) 00:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

::I was just making some edits, and I don't see the WGU ad coming up again. I'll come back later and check again. Let me know if you see it again. The code that you copied was perfect; if you spot it again, give me that code. Thanks! -- [[User:Toughpigs|Danny]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|talk]]) 18:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

:::Okay, I just saw it again... I'm sorry it's taking so long to get these shut off; I know how annoying they are. I'm trying to pin down the guy who works on the ads, and make sure he shuts it off. I'll let you know when it's done. -- [[User:Toughpigs|Danny]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|talk]]) 20:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

::::All right, this time for real -- it's turned off. I'm sorry that it took so long! -- [[User:Toughpigs|Danny]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|talk]]) 01:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

== SciFi Wiki ==

Hey, I was wondering if you could come help out on the [http://scifi.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page SciFi Wiki] because we have no articles on Transformers (or if you could ask some other users on here to help, or suggest a way to ask more). Thanks!!!--[[User:UESPArules|UESPA]] 03:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
:Wouldn't that effort be redundant with what's going on here? --[[User:GrantB|GrantB]] 03:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

==Elita One==
So, I'm a little confused as to what you want to do with that article? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 01:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I was seing if using the undo function to a version before there was anything becides a redirect would allow the Elita One article to be moved back.--[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 02:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

==Image sizes==
Regarding the Road Caesar image you uploaded - take care with image sizes/quality. The wiki software should have warned you if you went over 150KB or something like. In an effort to keep image loading times reasonable and to save on the wiki's server space, when we have big images, we should use photoshop to adjust the image size and quality down to a reasonable file size. Thanks. Thanks for finding the new image too - I was bothered by the fact it had text and the component guys covering him. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 02:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:Odd, it gave me a warning, but that was for replacing an existing image. Also, I don't have Photoshop, and Paintbrush is horrible for, well, everything.

== Blocking IP ranges ==

Sadly, I don't even have access to what his IP address is. Given that accounts are universal across Wikia and all that, I assume it's only the Wikia staff who can see it. I don't know if it'd do much good anyway; it's SUPPOSED to ban his IP address each time, so unless he just has a dynamic IP (which isn't really that likely nowadays), he's probably using proxies.

It sort of sucks. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 07:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

==You are no fun at all.==

my bro has hacked in2 my user. i will change my password now. he made arcee 4 me and i have been usin that same password ever since. [[User:American Girl|American Girl]] 13:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

== What do you mean? ==

What you mean how cute? Are you insulting me?

== Oh ok ==

Yah I was just showing my brother the floro Dery article and I felt like makin a little joke aboot how he always says he isnt him. I mean yah noones gonna actually think Im Floro dery ,Its just a little......joke ,kinda like ,IDK Im not Floro.[[User:Imnotflorodery|Imnotflorodery]] 00:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you remember a user called destro oy? If so that was me. I forgot my password so I made a new acount.[[User:Imnotflorodery|Imnotflorodery]] 00:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== The Doctor ==
Any particular reason for the revert? You didn't cite one.
:He put a caption bastard tag on your talk page, that should tell you what you did wrong.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 02:34, 26 April 2009 (EDT)
::Yea, it would be, except for the fact that nothing in Wiki: caption seemed to argue against it. I've edited here before, under varying ISP's, and to assume otherwise is bad faith. If nothing else, it hardly behooved me to know you guys had taken such thigns to mean "signed up members only." [[Special:Contributions/198.146.55.145|198.146.55.145]]
:::Just made an official account. I'll try to remember to get my work credited to me from now on. Whole thing still reeks of bad faith at best. Still, its vaguely similar to policy, so I can't entirely blame FortMax.[[User:Turkishproverb|Turkishproverb]]
::::It's not that you weren't signed in, it's just that all you contributed was a caption, and just doing those without doing anything else first is kinda frowned upon. It took me a couple of weeks being signed on before I realized what was going on.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 10:50, 26 April 2009 (EDT)

== The Sandboxes ==

Actually, those ''are'' supposed to get deleted. See [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal#Sandbox clearout]]. Interrobang didn't get trigger-happy on that. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 07:32, 17 March 2010 (EDT)
:The problem is that most of the ones he tagged ''are'' wiki related, be it in-progress templates, Energon cartoon generics, or toy data. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 11:58, 17 March 2010 (EDT)
::No problem there. People who are planning to actually finish and use their sandboxes at some point can just remove the tag (like I did). --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 12:32, 17 March 2010 (EDT)

== There's such a thing as disagreeing with someone's views... ==

And then there's "shouting and condescendingly attacking the other person instantly". I'm sticking to the first option here, and kindly ask you to read [[Category talk:Fan terminology|this]], which I wrote six minutes before you complained on my talk page. (You may have read it in the meantime, hence I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.)--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 09:21, 2 September 2010 (EDT)

== G-2 logo ==

I've been looking for a copy of the G-2 logo to upload and your instruction archive has the nicest copy I can find. Any objection to having it used on the Wiki? --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 12:58, 23 September 2010 (EDT)

:Depends. I don't know if the one for the US page is official. But feel free to use the others. (Also, I can probably get a better version of the Japanese logo, the one on my site is a downsized scan from my Laser Prime box.) --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 13:41, 23 September 2010 (EDT)

::The Japanese one is the one I'm looking for actually (hence my spelling of G-2). If you could get a better version that would be great. I want to set up our G2 nav template so that the different logos (American/European & Japanese) show up for their relevant pages. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 13:54, 23 September 2010 (EDT)
:::Feel free to use it as a placeholder for now. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 13:55, 23 September 2010 (EDT)
