User talk:ItsWalky/2017-2018

I require some assistance.

So you may not remember me, but a loooooong time ago you told me about some of the rules in regards to what I was doing. The thing I need help with is how those rules apply when I am creating my personal user page. So if you could just help me out with this that would be great. Thanks. -- Maximus Prime Toa of Earth (talk) 15:09, 2 March 2017 (EST)

Transformers Tribute page

Hey man! How are you? Hope your good. Anywho, I created the Transformers Tribute page. You took it down and you asked me if there was anything part of that page that wasn't leaked are stolen information. Here is my answer.

The Orion Pax and Optimus Prime appeared in the Taiwan Tf Expo. And the Leader Optimus Prime was found and bought by some people, so.... no? Proof: 2 Pack- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/videos-and-pictures-from-taiwan-tf-expo-2017-transformers-the-last-knight-generations-and-more/38785/ Leader Optimus- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-tribute-2007-leader-class-optimus-prime/38791/

And if this information ever becomes official for sure, or you think the proof I presented is good, please put it back up.

Thank you very much. User:Notirishman 16:24, 4 July 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for putting it back up! -notirishman (talk) 10:48, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

"Hurricane Autobot" and Ravenspar the same guy?

Does anyone else think that the identity of the "Hurricane Autobot" from Transformers: The Last Knight might be Ravenspar? Ravenspar is the only non-Dinobot/Knight in the toyline with a flying alternate mode, so there's that. DDelgado 10:52, 1 September 2017 (EST)

Moving From Wikia

Hi ItsWalky,

I'm Agent_C from Nukapedia, the Fallout wiki that didn't move from Wikia. I don't know if you've heard about our little problems with Wikia, but we're looking at all available options.

I see from your history pages you were active around the time that this happened and involved in the split, I was wondering if you or anyone else might be able to consult with the guys we have looking at independence options, as we are considering every option on the table.

If you have discord you can reach us though here, or our wiki's email address is Nukapedia@gmail.com.

Thanks for any help you can offer. Agent c (talk) 17:57, 12 September 2017 (EDT)

Modulus photo

Hey, could you upload your Modulus photo from this Allspark post here and add it to Modulus' page? ShootingStar7X (talk) 13:45, 6 December 2017 (EST)

Oh, just notice there's an external link to your photo on Modulus' page. Still, considering the "this article is in need of images" template, it would be nice to add your photo there rather than just linking it. ShootingStar7X (talk) 13:49, 6 December 2017 (EST)

SG Enemy deco

i understand you chose the deco by swapping the voice changer's red and silver around? but, in the same way that we mention Blitzwing's unintentional resemblance to Broadside, would you approve mentioning SG Enemy having a head colored like G1 Rewind's?

--Rhymus (talk) 03:47, 14 January 2018 (EST)

I mean, mentioning it seems like we're stating that it was the intent, and it really wasn't. I feel like that's a pointless bit of non-trivia to add just for the sake of adding it. --ItsWalky (talk) 04:02, 14 January 2018 (EST)

Because we're a bunch of nerds who'd rather have a bit of fun with it, but i see your point. Leaving it out. --Rhymus (talk) 04:43, 14 January 2018 (EST)

Caption for your upcoming POTP Tailgate photo

Can you help me add the "And I'm the one that hates the Purple Oni." caption for your potential upload of the PotP Tailgate figure? FigureGunplaFan (talk) 04:44, 14 February 2018 (EST)

New Picture for Brian Goldner

Think you can update Brian Goldner's picture on his page with this from when Hasbro congratulated on the Opening Weekend of Avengers: Infinity War? https://twitter.com/HasbroNews/status/991430521686298625

Bar none, it's an amazing thing. Energizer (talk) 00:41, 7 May 2018 (EDT)

A serial deleter

Sorry to bother you but can you please do something about Saix? He keeps undoing my edits, most of the time without giving a reason. Not to mention telling me I can't write captions even though I've contributed a lot to the wiki. I don't know what to do about him. I've tried asking him not to but he just keeps doing it. Also by the look of his talk page I'm not the only one he does it to. Help? --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by PurrElise (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}. 21:36, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

Your contributions are not helpful and I am on Saix's side. Please stop. --ItsWalky (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

Sorry but what's wrong with my edits? I don't see what it is that I'm doing that's different from what the other users are doing. I thought they were pretty similar. (Sorry if I'm not formatting this right, I've never talked on someone's page like this). --PurrElise 22:02, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

Not everything you see on this site is something to be emulated everywhere. Sometimes a particular tone is generally inappropriate but works for one particular context. (B.O.T. (episode), for instance, gets a somewhat tonally different treatment than most other cartoon episodes since it's legendarily awful.) And sometimes there's stuff that really shouldn't be there, but nobody has noticed it or because it hails from the lawless Wikia days and nobody's gotten around to replacing it with something up to code.

More to the point, I'm not going to blanket-agree with Saix's edits, but I'm spot-checking your edit history, and you seem to make a lot of edits that are just adding not-very-funny image captions or inserting Your Thoughts without any actual content to go with it. And most of your edits that are more constructive are adding quotes, which isn't bad but it's not necessarily something we need. Now, most regular editors have added their share of dumb jokes (I certainly have), but we tolerate that kind of crap from each other because we know we're also out there doing relatively useful things like summarizing stories, writing up toys, making new pages for various concepts, and fixing errors. (Speaking of which, you also seem to have a bad habit of not proofreading before you edit.) You don't have the benefit of a reputation for doing helpful things, so when you do unhelpful things people are more likely to lose their patience with you. --Andrusi (talk) 00:37, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

Page Deletion Help

I would like to inform anyone from Administration that the page currently titled "Shadow Raider" is ready for deletion. All the necessary information from that page has been moved to the one formally titled "Mercenary". Even though I created that page, I do have the power to delete it personally. Thus, I am asking Administration for help. --NexusShard17 (talk) 10:41, 20 August 2018 (EDT)

The page currently titled "Jetfire (Movie)" is ready for deletion. All the necessary information from that page has been moved to the one titled "Jetfire (ROTF)". I am asking for help with deleting "Jetfire (Movie)" so "Jetfire (ROTF)" can be renamed as such. NexusShard17 (talk) 11:19, 27 September 2018 (EDT)

Shortpacked Photos

Walky, sire, you have taken many photos for your website Shortpacked. I just wonder if you will upload these photos to replace the stock photography on the website. Because you've taken a pictures for a lot of toys on Shortpacked that still have stock photos on this wiki.

and when will there be another archive for your talk page this thing is huge --notirishman (talk) 16:21, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Redirect Icon Help

I would like to inform Administration that the pages with the Elite Guard logo still have the redirection to when the page was called "Cybertron Elite Guard". Can anyone fix these loose ends please?--NexusShard17 (talk) 11:42, 02 October 2018 (EDT)

I'm not an admin, but I seem to have straightened it out. --Khajidha (talk) 15:11, 2 October 2018 (EDT)

Thank you.--NexusShard17 (talk) 17:43, 02 October 2018 (EDT)

Punch of Kill Everything & Gravity Generator: The Same Thing?

Does anyone else think that the pages titled "Punch of Kill Everything" and "Gravity Generator" mean the same thing? I believe that the Gravity Generator is merely the name of the button switch which activates the P.O.K.E.'s power. It looks like something most Lugnuts all have in common with each other.--NexusShard17 (talk) 17:43, 02 October 2018 (EDT)

POTP Jazz

File:PowerOfThePrimestoy-Jazz.jpg I a have hi-res zoom of the wave MAGA Jazz vs. wave 3 non-MAGA Jazz graphics: MAGA No MAGA Both are taken from my own copies.

Since you hopefully still have the original file for the image, you might just add them if you want.

And my wave 1 version will now go into the spare parts box while the wave 3 version takes his place on the shelf.--Nevermore (talk) 08:42, 10 November 2018 (EST)

Wiki hosting related question

So in case you haven't heard, Gamepedia - the wiki platform hosting most of the wikis that left Wikia - was recently purchased... by Wikia. I was wondering if I could talk to you privately about hosting-related stuff, as the wiki I'm an admin for is exploring our non-Wikia options and floated the possibility of self-hosting, like TFWiki does. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 13:36, 14 December 2018 (EST)

You might do better to ask User:Abates on some of your questions, as he manages the server itself, and I am a technological ignoramus who is not competent to answer most server-based questions. (I know where the reboot server button is!) Everything here was initially built by McFly and Christine Love, who no longer contribute. ...I wish I could still recommend Project Wonderful as a source for income, but that sadly disappeared this year. We were lucky to have a pair of loyal advertisers who were just using its infrastructure. But if you still wanna pick my brain, my email is wiigii@gmail.com. Nobody should be owned by Wikia. --ItsWalky (talk) 22:39, 14 December 2018 (EST)

Please feel free to email me and I'll do my best to answer any questions you have. My gmail is "aldenbates", or you can use the "E-mail this user" link on my user page. --abates (talk) 00:28, 15 December 2018 (EST)

On second thought, if you don't mind it's probably easier to have our lead admin contact you directly (since he knows what questions to ask) rather than me passing messages back and forth. --Dark T Zeratul (talk) 03:48, 16 December 2018 (EST)
