Talk:Drake

Booched Categories

I think i booched the categories, for skelly hunters across hunter O_o -- Minimoses 04:40, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Looks fine to me.. What did you think was wrong? Incidentally, you'd be better off posting on the talk page of the page you think you booched ;) --Lizzie 05:41, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

i have... look at the bottom of my page here, the Categories... then Skelly_Hunters_Across_Hunter > when i click on it, it goes to edit something. What did i do wrong this time? Or is it that the page hasnt been created, and does it need to be there? I only added it because i thought it was there --Minimoses 06:50, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

I've removed the tag as it isn't one we use.. to add your name to the list, go to Skellie Hunters Across Hunter, click on edit, and add your name alphabetically. :) Hope that answers your question? --Lizzie 06:54, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Link Assistance

Can someone assist me in ammending the Accompong V event blockade link please - I cant seem to figure it out.. i was going to use "http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Hunter_blockade_history" but wanted a more direct link. Thanks - Drake

Fixed! --Barrister 02:00, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Thankyou - In Addition - I want to change my portrait thats shown on this page. Do i need to go to edit my gallery, and make my 'Skull Island' portrait #1 so that it shows up here?? Thanks - Drake

I've just done it for you. In case you want to do it again in the future, here's how:

1. Save the image from your gallery to your computer. (Right click, save image as.) 2. Click on the current portrait image. 3. Scroll to the bottom where it says "upload new version of this image". 4. Upload the new image you've just downloaded. Ignore the warning saying there is already a file there. 5. Make sure you put {{portrait image}} in the summary space.

Signature Advice

Oh and just in case you didn't know: to add a signature to your comments, click on the second right button on the edit toolbar. Or just type - - ~ ~ ~ ~ without the spaces. And also, to find out about the recent edits on a page, click on history on the page's toolbar. :) --Lizzie 02:28, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Magic thank you > testing Minimoses 02:33, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Woohoo, how sad am i? Yes work really is this boring !! Minimoses 02:33, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Why do you think I'm on here! I've had nothing to do all morning except order stationery supplies! Hehe. BTW, the reason I started on your flag page is because I saw your request to have the link fixed on this page, and I don't like red links so I fix them as I go :p. Another tidbit: on the left menu, the recent changes link shows you all the pages being fixed and created, which I find quite interesting. Just in case you wanted to peruse :) --Lizzie 02:36, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Ok thanks, i just tried that uploading portrait thing as you mentioned. And i know you said it aswell, but, for some reason, it doesnt look to me like its been updated. Is there a time delay for cache memory to refresh? will it upload upon next load of screen? I know im being picky, but its irritating..-- Minimoses 02:38, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Its showing as updated for me. Try holding down your shift key and hitting the refresh button, maybe? --Lizzie 02:41, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Avast !! your intelligence astounds me - im gonna quit my job. Im supposed to be an expert in IT and Internet, and i didnt know that, want my job? -- Minimoses 02:43, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Oh, the tricks you learn when you work and live with computer geeks. (It clears the cache for that page, I think.) And actually yes, I'd love your job! (I'm a PA atm and its just not really my cup of tea :p) --Lizzie 03:34, 18 August 2006 (PDT)

Neutrality Dispute

Some guidance on why this neutrality is being disputed please? - Drake

I'm not sure but I suspect it may be due to phrases such as "Drake returned to a fanfare from friends" and "Drake is renowned on all oceans for his dedication, hard work and promotion critera". As this is an encyclopaedia, pages should contain factual information, and it's difficult to assess whether some is "renowned on all oceans" for particular qualities. --Featherfin 08:43, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

Featherfin has correctly identified the two issues that triggered my decision to use the NPOV tag. --Barrister 16:32, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

Ok, i understand them points, and they have been altered / removed. Hope this is ok

It looks good to me. I did some other minor cleanup, and removed the NPOV tag. --AtteSmythe 13:31, 9 August 2006 (PDT)

Island

I liked the little description. Was it a result of how the island came out, or the guideline for creating it in the first place? --AtteSmythe 07:18, 6 September 2006 (PDT)

Crap, i think i deleted the description as i wasnt pleased with it, but if you liked it, can you help me restore it? It was a mixture of my original design concept, and how the island turned out :) -- Minimoses 11:36, 8 September 2006 (PDT)

Avatars

As these are account wide, should these be on a pirate page? --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 15:22, 6 October 2006 (PDT)

I say yes, because this is my main character, i sign all my avatars as Drake, and i use Drake as contribution to my forums. Many, Many pirates have avatars saved on their pirate page. Even the OMs --Minimoses 00:06, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Avatars of them, not avatars by them. --Ponytailguy 06:36, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

I think a gallery is reasonable here, but I'm admittedly not up on how the Avatar artists directory is set up. --AtteSmythe 08:01, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

The avatar template and categories do a good job of showcasing avatars by any particular artist. So far, all avatar galleries in articles have been avatars used by that particular pirate, and specifically The Ringers. [This link will show all avatars by Drake that have been uploaded and labeled properly on the wiki.--Fiddler 09:49, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

So... does this mean i need to switch my gallery? some for and some by? Does that mean my island (first of many i hope :) ) also needs to be moved? --Minimoses 11:16, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Opening Pandora's box

I reformatted the infobox to match the standard {{Infobox pirate}} ^(Usage). Discuss. --AtteSmythe 08:41, 10 October 2006 (PDT)

Approval++ --Angelbeaver ^(talk) 09:13, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Game Designer?

Is there a better term we can use for your contributions in the GCPP other than Game Designer? To me, game designer implies developer, which you are not. Perhaps "GCPP Participant" or "GCPP Entrant" would be more appropriate. --Squashbuckle 14:23, 27 March 2007 (PDT)
