LSM page thanks

Thanks for fully fleshing that article out! --Guppymomma 21:51, 3 June 2006 (PDT)

Card Sharks

Ahoy! I had to delete your page for "Cards Sharks" because the correct name is Card Sharks, and that page already existed. --Barrister 11:17, 23 July 2006 (PDT)

Oops. That'll teach me to learn how to spell. Darkaardvark 11:25, 23 July 2006 (PDT)

Categorizing

Good idea on the events pages. However, please wrap the category link in <noinclude> and </noinclude> tags. This will prevent the main page from being categorized under Events. Thanks.--Fiddler 17:41, 23 July 2006 (PDT)

Thanks for the tip. Darkaardvark 17:47, 23 July 2006 (PDT)

The Blade Ad Dicere

We don't mark crews that still exist as defunct because they... er, still exist. :) (On a more personal note, I got all excited to see it marked as defunct because that would mean Sho came back and disbanded it.Oh well!) --Zava 16:04, 24 July 2006 (PDT)

*sigh* I'll figure out how to do this sutff properly eventually --Darkaardvark 21:10, 24 July 2006 (PDT)

The infobox for the defunct flags says "Dormant or disbanded as of...." That implies that it is for dormant crews as well.--Kinocha 08:34, 25 July 2006 (PDT)

I knew there was a reason why I marked it as defunct...how do you classify a "dormant" crew then, if Blade Ad Dicere isn't? Is there such a thing as a crew with 0 members, dormant or active? Would that qualify as defunct? --Darkaardvark 11:06, 25 July 2006 (PDT)

Swabbies

Ahoy! I see that you added "Underhanded" to the list of swabbie adjectives. I've never seen that one. Was it on your ship, or was it on a brigand ship? Thanks. --Barrister 13:15, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

I've reverted it for now; I mistook the page to be all brigand names and adjectives. I wasn't aware that there was a difference, actually. If I do find an underhanded swabby, I'll change it back. --Darkaardvark 13:22, 15 August 2006 (PDT)

Cleaver Interview

Good idea on breaking it up into sub-pages. You may want to transclude those parts back into the main article; take a look at the Ice Ocean changelog to see what I mean and how to do it. If you do go that route I'd suggest removing the individual media file links and sticking with the list in the main article.--Fiddler 18:53, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

I'm planning on making some kind of a template (like the one for, say, bludgeons) that'll have all nine parts and the main page on it, for easy navigation. I suppose I could do something like the Ice changelog linking but it'd still leave me with a bunch of links on the main article and I think a template (if I can manage not to booch it technically) will be more elegant. I suppose at that point having the media files repeated on the subpages will become redundant, I'll likely take them out at that point. --Darkaardvark 18:57, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

I'm not sure what you mean by "a bunch of links on the main article." The utility of transclusion is that the entirety of text of the sub-article is included into the main article without actually having it as part of the article.--Fiddler 19:00, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

If it leaves all the text on the main article, won't that leave us with the same problem that the subpages were designed to avoid- a really, really long page? I think it's too much info to have all on one page. --Darkaardvark 19:08, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

Ahh. See, I like having the entire text all in one piece. I use sub-pages and transclusion to reduce the amount of information editors have to wade through, not what the reader sees in the article.--Fiddler 19:14, 21 March 2007 (PDT)

I don't have a slow connection to test it on, but I'm guessing that it'd be pretty slow to load. Just following wikipedia/yypedia's "break up really large pages" policy. How about this- I'll try my way, and if we decide that it's not efficient when it's done, it can always be changed. I need the practice with templates and soforth anyways.

collaboration request

Ahoy there darkaardvark, I was working on the start fer a flash tutorial fer me bilging guide, when me crew members suggested; why not make a general tutorial?

So what I'm asking is if ye could : contact the authors of the guides or anyone else with a big knowledge and skill who is willing to make a few screen video's and some explanation and if possible help a bit yourself, it's just a proposal, I'm not going to be mad if you can nay help.

I'll work on the flash part, or if someone else could help along it would be nice :)

hope to get a response soon.
