User talk:ItsWalky/2010

On an unrelated note: Thank you.

I know this is an odd place to say it, but I figured if I only said it once, it wouldn't be a bother so here goes: Thank You. Shortpacked is hilarious, and when not laughing, I'm agreeing with alot of the statements the main character makes. (and feeling like I was the only one who noticed some of them, like the one about General Discussions.) I also noticed your a Hot Shot fan, which is also awesome. I also noticed its due to the efforts of you and other people here that the move was made from Wikia to Tfwiki, which was a good idea so I also want to say a long overdue thank you for doing that as well, and finally: thanks for doing what you can for this site, because without this site, I'd be out of the loops on Club Exclusive things, and other Misc. Transformers related content. I go here frequently for information (or lolz) and I'm quite sure not only me but many others are grateful to you and all others who help contribute to this place.--Chipmonk328 14:02, 4 January 2010 (EST)

Thanks, and we do our best! --ItsWalky 14:08, 4 January 2010 (EST)

I love it too. Ive been going through the archives and im up to the part where amber gets a bit of a makeover and ive loved every second of it --Mrgalvaprime 17:25, 14 January 2012 (EST)

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Sorry to bother you (I tried to avoid saying something again sense I already did the 'Thank you' earlier, but I HAD to ask about this). Had nothing better to do so I've been reading shortpacked's full archive beginning to end today. (Well I'm currently on July 6 2009 to be fair) and I noticed something that I just HAD to ask about. I've noticed once you mentioned Oklahoma. I ignored it the first time but then later you said "Tulsa". Now you got me curious, because I live in Tulsa and thus wondered what made you decide to choose to mention here of all places, sense basically nothing ever happens here. (Aside from the occasional Convention and the recent BOK center. Granted I may be moving to Florida in a few years..I really hope so. Been here my whole life and its boring) Just thought I'd ask, before curiosity drove me nuts. Keep up the good work on the comic, peace.--Chipmonk328 06:27, 5 January 2010 (EST)

EDIT: haha on second thought..maybe I should've said this at Walkypedia..or do you even go there? (I'd assume you do.) Oh well, my mistake I guess. Hope you'll still answer my question regardless. lol--Chipmonk328 06:38, 5 January 2010 (EST)

WfC Starscream

You said: "We revert that back to Starscream every time you change it for a reason."

Well that's just great since that is my first contribution to that page. And the picture itself says Skywarp so I was just making both consistent. I'll change the pic to Starscream as well.--MistaTee 11:22, 14 January 2010 (EST)

Ah, sorry. Got you confused with Blackout, who was also changing it to Skywarp. --ItsWalky 11:28, 14 January 2010 (EST)

No prob. Just re-uploaded the image with starscream in the name rather than skywarp. The old one now has the delete tag. Thanks. --MistaTee 11:33, 14 January 2010 (EST)

Quick Report

More vandalism, on Nekomimi A/B, section animated..I think? caption didn't seem right.. I heard you're supposed to report to an Admin, right? -Danny LeFox 23:37, 20 January 2010 (EST)

The caption is okay. --ItsWalky 00:10, 21 January 2010 (EST)

Independent Wikis

Hello Walky. This is Archaic, webmaster of Pokémon fansite Bulbagarden, and its associated wiki Bulbapedia. I sent you an email about 2 weeks ago (to the address linked on both your webcomics) regarding an idea I've recently been playing around with of a co-operative of independent wikis. I understand that you've been rather busy recently, so I just wanted to check if you had received that email or not, and if you might be interested in contributing your thoughts to the matter? --Archaic 20:24, 25 January 2010 (EST)

I did receive it! I'm sorry for not answering swiftly. Our answer depends on how much interaction you are looking for. Part of the appeal of leaving Wikia was breaking free of the mandatory link chain to "related wikis" that they put at the bottom of our frontpage. Our frontpage is now our own. That's not something I think we're interested in. We are, though, all in favor of people starting up their own wikis instead of depending on those lying Wikia assmongers. (to coin a phrase) But, I can't speak for the people here who help maintain this wiki and how much they would be willing to lend a hand. So, uh, the answer to your question at the moment is: "I don't know?" Um. --ItsWalky 20:47, 25 January 2010 (EST)

Heh, no worries. We're all fairly busy at this time of year. For now, we're going full steam ahead with a limited version of this idea, focusing specifically on wikis linked to Nintendo franchises, which we're likely to launch within a couple of weeks. Perhaps it might be easiest if I'm able to show you what we're doing there? While we're doing quite a bit of integration between the partner wikis for this limited network, I'd imagine that any more general grouping of independent wikis would have to be a lot less so, if only for logistical reasons. As I mentioned in the email, it's all fairly up in the air right now. A lot of brainstorming, but not a lot of actual action at this point. --Archaic 15:15, 26 January 2010 (EST)

If I may weigh in... basically, while I wager most (if not all) of us are individually supportive of any wikis that break free of Wikia, when it comes to linking on this wiki we generally only stick to links that add information to our articles, such as TFU.info, Marvel Universe TF profiles, Wookieepedia and GI Joe sites for Star Wars and GI Joe crossovers, etc. So unless there's some crossover connection between Pokemon and TF that we missed, I don't see that we can help, because we don't have anything that would need a link to your wiki. --Jeysie 15:35, 26 January 2010 (EST)

What, not even with that page you have on Pokéformers? ;) Seriously though, I think you might have misunderstood what I was suggesting. I'm not looking at a 2-way affiliation or link here. Instead, what I've been investigating is much closer to what Walky has in Blank Label Comics for his webcomics. An alliance of wikis united by a common purpose. Exactly how far one would take that is the real question. I certainly wouldn't expect a link to every wiki in such a network on the front page of any wiki in it. As you've rightly pointed out, you value the independence you've regained after breaking from Wikia, and any such network would have to be very careful to maintain that for all sites while still offering something meaningful. *shrugs* Like I said, all very much pie-in-the-sky kind of vague ideas right now, just exploring possibilities. --Archaic 20:47, 26 January 2010 (EST)

I don't know if you've heard, but wikia has decided to make a change (mandatorily!) that is 100 times worse than what drove you guys to a new server. I am interested in finding info on how you guys actually performed your move, and what would need to be done before, during, and after to make it work. If you could give me even a link (so that I can show others), that would be hugely helpful.

If you could message me on my wikia talk page (yes, I know), that would be most appreciated. Thanks!KrytenKoro 10:18, 28 September 2010 (EDT)

Yeaaaaaaaah

Hey, were you the guy who called a dude a schmuck for no real reason, and so then he quit this wiki because he was treated like shit? You don't get a vote. Especially since you think Florida and Cuba are separated by a friggin' river. (Anyway, I vote against rhyming in the Headmasters section.) --ItsWalky 14:07, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Yes because he was considering the entry was as bare and snarky as possible (You're hardly the soul of discretion all the time yourself sir) . And remarkably, being from a good distance across the planet, I don't know where everything is situated on that side of the world so the assumption of he ran into a river instead of the atlantic ocean, while my own fault I'll admit, is fairly understandable. But if I'm not aloud to voice my opinion cause a guy you don't know told you something about another guy you don't know, then tell me now please, save me trying to vote on something again. (I'm being completely serious by the way, if that's the case, I want to know). All the best. User:Eire 01.33 Feb 09 2010 (UTC)

When your opinion is "the guy who created this page is a schmuck," then you're probably going to get some flak for said opinion. It's not like the page was horribly put together. It was just abbreviated and snarky. It wasn't called for. --ItsWalky 21:52, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Guess who's back.....

Breakaway image caption

Isn't Topspin the one with no personality? (Or was it a ref to Breakaway being Mister Likes-Everyone-Nice-Guy?) --Jeysie 13:13, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Topspin doesn't like being used, and ripped Kickback's spark out of him in angry fury. That's more than Breakaway ever emoted. --ItsWalky 13:16, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Plus, his utter devotion to Alpha Trion was also more characterization than Breakaway got. --Detour 13:19, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Fair enough... it's just that since Topspin was always the one with the "No personality" cracks in his page (and the one who's profile specifically says he's had his personality and will crushed out) it seemed potentially out of place, so I figured I'd ask.

(Personally I admit I wouldn't claim Breakaway (who did a fair bit of pep-talking everyone) has no personality any more than Heatwave, who's equally easy-going, friendly, and optimistic, can be said to not have one, but I was more checking for possible mistakes than taste...) --Jeysie 13:47, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Thanks for color correcting it, looks much better. My desktop bit the dust last week, and my netbook chokes on photoshop. Kookaburra 01:22, 30 March 2010 (EDT)

Mainpage logos

I'm shocked you haven't put up BC Breakdown yet. --M Sipher 16:34, 8 April 2010 (EDT)

I just put up *a* Breakdown. Really, I'd prefer to stick to art rather than toy images. Spark was an adrenaline rush exception. --ItsWalky 16:34, 8 April 2010 (EDT)

I can't think of a suitable title to put here right now.....

This seems rather uncalled for.

Thank you for your attention. ---Blackout- 13:38, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

Maybe you should have brought it up during the twenty-four hours in which she was banned, and not like a few minutes before it expired. And it was certainly called for, considering the disrespect she was showing other users. --ItsWalky 14:15, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

You called her a bitch. Was that not disrespectful as well? - Semysane 16:43, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

I think that was just me making an obvious point about her having talk page conversations entirely about other posters. As usual, I make my points through sarcasm. Jeysie wasn't being sarcastic or trying to illustrate a greater point when she told me to stop "mouthing off." --ItsWalky 17:21, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

I'm not upset about being banned. What I am upset about is that the reason it's so irritating trying to have a conversation with you is that you are constantly responding to people trying to make reasonable points with mocking rude responses, often ones that illustrate that the point was missed. So, I don't like your disrespectful attitude any more than you like mine.

Considering you actually make good points on the few occasions you turn off the mocking attitude and take the time to understand the points being made, it'd make dealing with you a whole lot less frustrating if you'd keep the attitude turned off all the time. --Jeysie 16:57, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

Ahahaha Jeysie is telling me to stop having a mocking attitude! I will mark that on my Jeysie-is-condescending calendar OH WAIT THERE IS NO ROOM --ItsWalky 17:21, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

Can we stop this? Both of you? You're both highly devoted editors to this wiki and we don't need a long lasting feud. Pretty Please? --Bluestreak7 17:28, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

The kids don't like it when mommy and daddy fight.... --Khajidha 17:36, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

Seconded. This is time and energy better spent on working on articles, and I've seen enough from both of you to know that it would benefit the wiki greatly if you did that. -- Ayellowbirds 17:40, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

If Walky drops the attitude problem, there won't be a feud, because I'll have nothing to comment on to him, which will make me very happy.

The only reason I say anything at all is because I'm tired of his attitude always making trying to discuss something on the wiki a stressful chore instead of something productive. --Jeysie 17:44, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

This is silly. --NCZ 17:48, 9 April 2010 (EDT)

Response to Walky: Maybe you're not aware, but I am on a different continent than you are. Different continent = different time zone = inability to respond at the same time as you Americans. And don't even TRY to shift the blame. ---Blackout- 05:07, 10 April 2010 (EDT)

In the filecard for Primal Major and Alpha Supreme, Maggie translated the two non-English characters at the end of it, which mean "Shanghai." That's all she's done (per my specific request), so I don't have anything else to tell you. :) --ItsWalky 10:35, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Ahh, that's still cool! I wouldn't have figured it out on my own! I have spotted at least one or two other bits of Japanese in there and was going to pester Spengler about them anyway. - Chris McFeely 10:40, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

You suck! Along with most of the other administartors on this wiki. I can't believe you treat people the way you do. I've been watching for a while, and I will tell you, that you're just an asshole!

My sandboxes

Hiya David, I was wondering if you will take a look at my improved Primes sandbox (not that I'm suggesting to retitle the article or anything, it's just the whim of my user space). I hadn't realized Marvel never uses the number 13, as it's been years since I read "Legacy of Unicron" or "Primal Scream", one takes these things for granted now. Also, regarding Alpha Trion, I finally have a response again to yesterday's chat, I feel we can compromise on this: the only thing bugging people about him being a multiversal singularity is SG. As you suggested, we should wait: we should wait to see if Forest or Hasbro explain his actions in that continuity or if multiversal singularities don't apply to mirrorverses like SG and that Alpha is truely unique from the original Prime who's more likely than not the one from G1/RID/UT/TA/ROTF/WFC. Alientraveller 14:08, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

Scan request

Since I can't find my copy of it at the minute, and since I know you had it out recent to scan that image of Rodimus Prime that's on the main page at the moment, might I trouble you to scan the panel from the third issue of the Marvel movie adaptation that features Hot Rod with a handful of energon sticks? On Junkion, when he's trying the universal greeting. Thanks! - Chris McFeely 04:59, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

Ultra Magnus

I think we need to rewrite the Dreamwave section. It's kind of old TFwiki there with the super-condensed summary and lack of links to individual issues. --FFN 16:04, 30 September 2010 (EDT)

Daleks

Listen, if you want behind the scenes proof, When the Daleks first appeared in Doctor Who, they were called Daleks, Davros calling the casing Mark 3 Travel Machine never happed until the time of the Forth Doctor. The information on the page is WRONG. LordDalek 16:19, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

Oh, and by the way, Davros if a Doctor Who character. Detour is giving us information from fiction too. The comment is wrong.LordDalek 16:22, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

Something that might be of interest to the TFWiki...

I think you'll find this to be rather interesting, as it may contain certain materials that would be decent additions to this Wiki. --Sabrblade 19:39, 8 November 2010 (EST)

Thanks. I took some screencaps where I could. We should tell Jim Sorenson these exist and maybe he has a million dollars. (Or maybe just a hundred. Not many bids on these, and who the hell even knows this auction site exists?) --ItsWalky 22:33, 8 November 2010 (EST)

That site had some of the live-action movie props being auctioned either last year or earlier this year, IIRC. --Lonegamer78 22:45, 8 November 2010 (EST)

Should I/we let him know in his User Talk page about this? --Sabrblade 14:09, 9 November 2010 (EST)

Question & request

How come we should keep "Junkion trader"? I wouldn't know of a source that makes it a canon designation and before the article even had the noname-nickname template. So, why keep a made-up name that's no longer needed?

Also, if you have The Complet Ark, could you add an image of adult Chip Chase to his article? Geewunling 13:15, 14 November 2010 (EST)

Isn't "Junkion trader" from a magazine or something? I don't think we made it up. --ItsWalky 13:43, 14 November 2010 (EST)

I can't say anything about magazines (though I'd wonder which magazine would bother to mention such an obscure "character"), but mostly, Derik, who made the article, had it marked as "nickname" from the start and left a reason for naming Junkion 1 "Junkion trader" on the Omniverse talk page. Altogether, I think it's not canon in any capacity. Geewunling 13:49, 14 November 2010 (EST)

• clenches fist* Derik!! --ItsWalky 13:50, 14 November 2010 (EST)

Another request (Junkion related)

I figure that before I completely lose my sight looking for Junkion models in a sea of red & random, I should ensure someone will move the Junkion articles (currently 3) I've been writing to their proper location. Would you be so kind? If the articles aren't clear enough on which model/character is described, there's a small extra description in the mainpic temapltes (that I just figured out don't show up on the actual page). Pretty please? Geewunling 12:40, 17 November 2010 (EST)

I don't own the Complete Ark, so it will have to wait for someone to divulge that information. --ItsWalky 15:49, 17 November 2010 (EST)

:( Well, I guess I could try pestering Sorenson about it. Sorry for bothering you. Geewunling 15:55, 17 November 2010 (EST)

I have the Complete Ark, but I'm finding your descriptions a little vague. I think I'd need screen shots or comic panels or whatever to work out who you're talking about. - Cattleprod 17:06, 17 November 2010 (EST)

As I said, the mainpic template contains a "screenshot description" that should make it possible to track who is who. Otherwise, the three most in front in order are: kisser, double-eye and mouthplate. Geewunling 17:09, 17 November 2010 (EST)

Talk:Bulkhead (Prime)

But every other kind of comment is allowed including swearing. The whole point of discussion pages is to discuss despite whether you think it's a waste. If it was in the wrong place then you should have said. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 09:46, 29 November 2010 (EST)
