Licensing

I'd just like to thank you for creating the first of our licensing templates. I'll be implementing MediaWiki's official licensing selection for uploads soon, and your contribution is really a great start. Thanks again! --Jake 23:09, 2 December 2010 (EST)

Sure, no problem. ~SuperHamster Talk 23:12, 2 December 2010 (EST)

Capitalization

It appears that I was too quick to correct the capitilization of some pages. For some reason it appears that the current standard has all words besides the first without a capital. While I understand that in game items are typically spelled in all lower-case lettering, I do not believe it correct to have page titles with lower-case words. Could you please rationalize this decision for me? (I think it looks terrible and sloppy, but that's just me.)--Dvorakelt 22:14, 7 February 2012 (EST)

It basically comes down to being grammatically correct (not very exciting reasoning, I know). No way is really better and both are justifiable; our system of lower-casing titles is just the way the standard has developed. Wikipedia has similar standards in titling their own articles. Here is a little discussion from last year where we discussed and decided on capitalization conventions for fish and insect articles. ~SuperHamster Talk 22:25, 7 February 2012 (EST)
I checked and it appears that Wikipedia does the same thing. I suppose it is just me then. Thanks! Sorry for any inconvenience I caused in my hastiness... --Dvorakelt 22:38, 7 February 2012 (EST)
Nah, it's not just you, I can see the argument that capitalizing all words could look better. It's a title after all. No worries though, that's the beauty of a wiki ;) ~SuperHamster Talk 22:41, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Friend Code

What is your Friend Code?Pokemon9

Hey, sorry, I haven't played Animal Crossing in a long while. Check out the Bulletin Board though for some people who may be interested :) ~SuperHamster Talk 02:49, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Hey SuperHamster thanks for correcting me on villagers and characters it's appericiated thanks

Adding Bugs

Hi, I don't know if this is the proper procedure, but I've been going around the wiki fixing up things, and I noticed that the Rainbow Stag isn't even listed as a bug. There is no connection between the Rainbow Stag Article and the insect category page. Can you add the connection? I don't seem like I have that power...--BellBank 21:26, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

'Ello - I went ahead and added the article to Category:Insect. Thanks a lot for pointing that out. In the future, note that you do have the power to add articles to categories :) Simply add the category you want to the bottom of the page, with the "Category:" prefix and double brackets, like this:
[[Category:CATEGORY_NAME]]
Thanks for all your contributions so far. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:37, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

Featured image template

Hello, can you change Template:Main_Page/Featured_Image to say Shizue instead of Shizu? Zharkaer 21:45, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Done, thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for all your contributions so far! ~SuperHamster Talk 00:38, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
Thanks man. Zharkaer 00:52, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

Rename

Hello,

Nice to meet you! I'm, Sdgsgfs an user in this wiki. Well, I'm not really new to editing nor the Animal Crossing City (was shocked about the moving thing, but was a good idea actually). I want to rename myself, since the name is kinda not professional, so can you please, rename me to "Wolfgang"?

Thank you, Sdgsgfs 13:27, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Done, you've been renamed to Wolfgang :) Thanks for your contributions so far, keep up the great work! ~SuperHamster Talk 16:34, 11 August 2012 (EDT)

Hello

Hello,

Nice to meet you! I'm, Wolfgang an admin and bureaucrat in Club Penguin Wiki. I have recently moved from Wikia, I'm not new to Nookipedia. But I noticed many admins and lead editors are inactive, you must consider demoting inactive users that are inactive since 2010 and promoting active ones. Sorry if I'm interfering, but I want the best for Nookipedia.


Thank you, Wolfgang 12:36, 14 August 2012 (EDT)

Hey again. Thanks for the concern. We're currently in the slow process of doing that - we're just about to promote a fairly new, yet active and experienced user to adminship. However, it does take a bit of time for users to become experienced enough with editing this wiki, and for us to determine who is fit to be a staff member. Right now the majority of active users here are doing a great job editing, but still need a bit more time and experience before they're ready to become part of the staff. Moving too quickly to promote active users would be a bad idea if the users are unprepared and inexperienced, but as soon as I and other staff members feel a user is ready to be promoted, they will be. If you'd like some tips regarding what you can do yourself to show that you are prepared for becoming a staff member, let me know. Thanks again. ~SuperHamster Talk 12:51, 14 August 2012 (EDT)
I completely agree with Wolfgang, sorry for barging in. As such, I'm a lot more used to an active staff on Zelda Wiki, this makes me more comfortable while editing because I know most of my mistakes can be fixed. I think we really do need to start going through a slow-but steady process of demoting and promoting... As such, I understand how hard it is to get promoted.. I'm one of the more general active and effiecent users on Zelda Wiki and I'm still an autocomfirmed. It comes down to the overall quality of your edits, not quanity. Making 5000 edits that aren't good, won't get you promoted. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx 18:31, 14 August 2012 (EDT)
Definitely correct, as much as we need an active and experienced staff though, we need an active user base to promote in the first place. In the next few weeks I think we could see a few promotions, though :) Thanks for the input guys, it's appreciated. Me and the few other staff will keep an eye out for when we think any editors have shown the knowledge and skill to become part of the staff. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:27, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Hello

Hello,

I forget to add licenses ;D. I'm totally sorry for that, I'll make sure to add from now on.

Thank you, Wolfgang 09:04, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Heh, no problem. Thanks for all the awesome image uploads, they really help. Keep up the great work :) ~SuperHamster Talk 15:16, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
