I have no real problem with you doing any of those things, or at least trying them to see what they looked like, but removing the header with the background we currently use and not changing the colour of the links (in the top right) makes the links very difficult to read. That's the only reason I hadn't removed the header already, because I also think it looks better without (except for the links). -- Supermorff 14:09, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid not. We ended up with the skin we have not because I thought it looked great, but because it was the best I could do. I would be really happy if someone (e.g. you) could improve it further. -- Supermorff 17:20, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I sort of did it by trial and error. I got the Sonic Team logo from some website, made the background the same colour as the main Sonic blue, then used Paint.net to duplicate the logo and rotate and flip it over so it was in a grid of 4 all looking in different directions, then I rotated the whole thing by 45 degrees. Then I used Photoscape to divide up the image into triangles, which I rearranged so that it was in a tileable square. Then I used Paint.net again to tweak the colour so that it looked okay as a background. Um... does that help? -- Supermorff 08:42, August 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you have such faith in me, but I'm afraid I have no intention of making another skin. Partly because my computer has decided to stop displaying images properly, partly because I'll be going abroad soon and won't have time, but mostly because I just don't have a very visual mindset and am not very good at manipulating images. The only reason I managed to do the one we have now is because the image is incredibly simple, and even then it took over a month to get right. -- Supermorff 12:14, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cloud
Drones, I just want to say well done for dealing with Cloudthehedgehog12's blog. I think you were right and that about a month was an appropriate length of time. I have now changed the length of the block back to 1 month. Unlike GMTails, Cloud never pretended that he was the character's creator - he was just silly enough to think that it would be okay to use the character. Anyway, I think you handled yourself very well. -- Supermorff 09:48, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Code
58, it's great that you're showing initiative in wanting to improve the wiki, but seriously: slow it down! For one thing, bring up ideas to the rest of the wiki first, so we can all make a decision on it. Second, please, don't try to mess with coding unless you know exactly what it all does or what you're supposed to do. What happened with the front page should prove my point well enough. I'm not reprimanding you, understand that; I'm just giving you some advice about adminship.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 05:15, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

That's just it: I don't know how to. Heck, I didn't event install the Archive tool successfully entirely; someone needed to make the needed changes. So, for now leave it alone until you have the proper info, okay?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 05:18, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I suggest SNN Talkpage and a blog.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 05:27, August 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not to butt in here, but the most appropriate place would be Sonic News Network talk:Community Portal. Could still be advertised on the main talkpage and a blog. -- Supermorff 08:42, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I've given you my own complaints for one. Second, this is not my project; I personally feel that the headers are as I described them on your blog; generic, and far too short for most of the templates. You are the one who wishes to change the Main Page; this is your project. As such, it's your job to get people's attention on the matter.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 06:53, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

58, "no one is helping you" is hardly the truth. Look on your blog, and you will see that people are fully participating in the discussion and suggesting ideas. It would be a good idea to regularly check your blog, 58.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 05:23, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

(sighs) 58, I really think you should slow the heck down. Wanting to contribute to the wiki is great, but you need to start slow, then work your way up to the bigger projects. Starting off immediately trying to make big changes to the wiki will make people question your character. The best thing you can do after earning your adminship is proving that you deserve it by using it; deleting spam, maintaining articles, and dealing with vandals. The header change bit is already well on its way, but please wait before attempting to make further changes until you've proven yourself more, okay?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 05:36, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, wouldn't it be better to create a sandbox before you start changing everything on the main page?  Myself  <font color="Black">123  15:04, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well you can copy the main page and put it in userspace, that way, you can tinker with the page and sort everything out before you make proper changes to it. It means you would be able to perfect the page without any fear of making it look professional along the way.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  15:32, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey 58 it's been a long time since we've talked.So how are you dude? Ultimate Dude  127 14:57, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

No where, I would have congratulated you when you became Admin but I thought you were too busy.So CONGRATS man! Ultimate Dude  127 15:28, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

No prob buddy, I can tell its hard work.I tried going for Rollback but I got canceled because of too many noes.I got annoyed and I pulled off the idea. Ultimate Dude  127 15:34, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I can tell how it feels to be admin I am a admin in my wiki, but of course that doesn't count. Ultimate Dude  127 15:43, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know I came here with the wrong sense of direction then I changed and became a vandal fighter, but some people thought it was bad of me to become a vandal fighter.So really I'm stuck. Ultimate Dude  127 16:32, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know but somethings stopping me. Ultimate Dude  127 16:38, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, unfortunately. With recent concerns regarding vandalism, some of us Recent Changes Patrollers need to keep tounch on what's happeneing on Talkpages. 16:44, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Users Reaction to the New Headings for the Homepage
Ehh... I've seen them on the Front page before, but I'm a little iffy about them. I'll need some time to think them over, if that's okay. Phoenix the Cat The flames reborn....  07:35, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

It looks awesome! Vote Blaze!!! 11:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Question
There seem to be some articles on this site that I am unable to edit. If I try to it get the notice that says the page is locked. Yet at the same time I see people making edits to the page, some of them admins and some not. How can I make edits to these pages?

Examples of pages like this are Sonic Colors and Amy Rose.

Thanks. Jacktheinfinite101 17:53, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

It is ok, right now I don't need to make any edits to either page at the moment but I would like to know how long until I am no longer considered a "new user" so I qualify to make edits to those pages. Jacktheinfinite101 13:04, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

That's fine. Thanks for clearing up my confusion though. I'll ask some other admins about how long until I am no longer "new" but in the meantime do you think I could inform you of any edits (if I find any) that I think should be made to the Sonic Colors page? Thanks. Jacktheinfinite101 14:39, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

hmm strange, it says on the site that he is an active admin. Should we change it? Jacktheinfinite101 15:21, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Homepage headings
In all honesty, it feels very dull to me. It looks like something straight off of powerpoint or something like that. It should have something unique to this wiki, like no other Wiki would have, like this (note, this is not intended to be the actual heading, it is just a concept I threw together in 2 seconds).Sonictoast 18:37, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

You know, I don't want to help you so much after you so rudely demanded some 3D Green Hill Zone who knows what skin, acting like you're my boss or something. I thought I'd ignore you for a while, but then you asked my opinion on the headings and as most know, I'm very opinionated. Anyway, I'm a tad busy right now with some other projects. If I were to do the headings I would want to take my time and make them perfect (unlike that little Sonic one I showed you earlier today). So if you can wait, I can do some headings later this month, if you can't wait, ask someone else, I'm good either way. Anyway, hate to serve you a slice of humble pie, but I was a "featured user of the month" before I was an admin, Kagi said I was the first, but I don't go around bragging about it. Just wanted to let you know so you could make your user page accurate. Sonictoast 06:25, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * no worries, all is well.Sonictoast 14:49, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Your thoughts on something
Hey I am in this debate about a trivia fact on Sonic Unleashed. I am making a convincing arguement but this guy doesn't seem to budge. I was wondering what your thoughts are on how the trivia fact should be since you are an admin and just having myself and this other person go back and forth will not result in anything. Here is the link. Thanks. Jacktheinfinite101 05:54, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well I belive that the reason he so strongly wants the trivia to remain the same is because the way it is now makes Sonic look more like he is romantically interested in Amy. While I have nothing against someone if they like the idea of Sonic and Amy as a couple, I think that when it comes to romance we should only acknowledge the ones we know for fact such as the fact that Rouge is interested in Knuckles and the fact that Amy is interested in Sonic. Is there a policy against romantic speculation? If there isn't then do you want me to write one? I would gladly. Jacktheinfinite101 06:08, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I know it is allowed (and while I agree with you on Sonic and Amy) but do you think that we should make a policy against speculation of romances? I have seen how obsessive the Sonic community can be over parings and having a policy where only confirmed love interests can be ackknowledged would keep this kind of thing from happening more often, don't you agree? Jacktheinfinite101 06:17, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well I looked at the rules and while they did have a section on rumors, I suspect since a large ammount of the fanbase belives Sonic to be interested in Amy, it would be a good idea to have a section in the rules highliting how speculation of romances would be considered vandalism or to use speculation of romances as an example in the vandalism section. the reason I am so concerned about that is because there are so many fans who think Sonic feels the same way about Amy (enough to the pont where SEGA now tends to include an option in their games to let the player choose to have Sonic reciprocate Amy's feelings) that it seems like something that we should have in the rules as an immediate reference so we don't have to convince everyone about how Sonic is not confirmed to like Amy. If you don't want to that's fine but I jsut figured I'd put the idea out there to make future issues like this easier to prevent. Jacktheinfinite101 06:26, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Also *facepalm* I can't believe that I actually let "ackknowledged" get through, I even double checked to make sure it didn't. Sorry. Jacktheinfinite101 06:38, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Eh not much. It is 3:20 AM where I am so I actually should be sleeping right now, but I'm making a few quick edits to the trivia section of Sonic Unleashed including the addition of how onw of Sonic's stage complete poses resembles that of his pose in Sonic Advance 1. But I have a quick question, I was looking at some footage of Sweet Mountain Zone and then I began to notice just how much the level design resembles that of some of the Savannah Citadel day levels in Sonic Unleashed, I noticed so much that I actually downloded the videos and recorded myself going through the Savannah Citadel levels in question and then made a video that shows both the stages from start to finish and then compares the points where they seem alike, I was able to find a total of 23 moments where Sweet Mountain and Mazuri resembles eachother (let alone other Sonic Unleashed references.) I uploaded the video you Youtube (here). I was wondering if you think (since I found 23 simiarities) that I should note this in the trivia of Sweet Mountain Zone and embed the video on the page. Thanks. Jacktheinfinite101 07:39, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I actually haven't played Colors yet. I don't know how I noticed them all but it might just be that I was so hyped for Sonic Unleashed that I was on top of any leaked info, screenshots, and videos available and I just have that game forever burned into my mind. For whatever reason, I am glad I noticed them. Jacktheinfinite101 12:51, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. You are a very nice an intelligent person. Also here's something funny, since you have aparently seen my face, I am actually only 16 years old despite the mustache. Jacktheinfinite101 12:59, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
