Thanks for changing my quote on Scopes, how did you do it? Niaro 20:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] gnommish
Hey the gnommish template provides a link to a pic that does not exist. Are you working on this or something? Are you taking the gliphs at the bottom of the pages of the books and uploading them ?Jet'ika 14:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
- if you want help i could upload some of the alphabet pics ,I have a few.Jet'ika Copaani gaan? 10:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
[edit] Eleven Wonders
Check out Eleven Wonders Exhibition. Another page exists about this.It can be found here.We should merge both the articles as they are about the same thing but i am not sure about which one we should keep.Whats the actual name for this place in the book?We should name it accordingly.Jet'ika 09:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
[edit] Re:Admins
Yes, we definitely need an admin.I think you should ask one of the helpers at the main wikia site to make you an admin. Considering the amount of good work you have done here i think they should have no qualms about making you one. Having an active admin will be a great help.Jet'ikaCopaani gaan? 05:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
- I think you ask Danny for adminship as angela is away, but i think even asking her would be no problem. But i think its mentioned on her page that we should ask Danny for adopting all the entertainment wikis. But i dont know if this will be counted under adoption. And about the pics, I agree. Only Artemis Fowl related pics should be uploaded.Jet'ikaCopaani gaan? 05:19, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
[edit] New skin
Hey the new skin kicks in tomorrow and acc to what is stated there the main pages of all wikis using monaco will have to be changed. The test wiki looks pretty cool but will the main page here be compatible or will some changes be required?Jet'ikaCopaani gaan? 06:07, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika
[edit] Forums Working??
I just went over to the forums and found it empty. This was surprising. Then I decided to add a new topic (about a new logo). I saved the page but when I went back to the Forums page, it wasn't there. Is there anything wrong with the forums at the moment, or is it just me and my computer? - Mr nurr 08:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for telling me Mr nurr 07:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Admin
Hi C Teng. Thanks for your work here. I noticed you've been welcoming newcomers which is really great. I've made you an admin here. Please see the admin guide and let me know if you need any help. Angela
(talk) 13:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Dude! Congrats on the admin position. You really earned it. Also I've noticed we are getting a lot more users here. With an active admin an more users the wiki should really start growing by leaps and bounds. Cheers!Jet'ikaCopaani gaan? 15:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)Jet'ika

[edit] Odd links
I've noticed that on many articles, the first couple links do not link to the page specified, but instead the edit action for the page specified. What's going on?
[edit] Forums
Hello. sannse has set up the wiki forums here for you, so these are now working properly. Angela

[edit] The little pictures.... ?
I was wondering (thanks for the welcome message BTW) how everyone gets the little pictures and captions that say.. I support this.. or ' This user is a such and such' *shrug* I just can't figure it out...
Thanks!

[edit] Adminship available?
Helloooo. Don't mean to bother you, but I'd like to talk to you about earning adminship on this wiki. I was told at the Central Wikia to ask you (as you are the main semi-active-ish admin on this wiki). If you took a look at my work, I think you would like what you see. I'd like admin super powers because I love this series and I know I can do great things on this wiki. There are many unneeded pages and stupid vandalism things that I need adminship power to delete or maintain. I wouldn't mind if this site's admins were active and controlled that type of thing, but seeing as how you seldomn log in, I thought it best to have an active admin. I know there are many others and that you all have lives to live, so this is not so much judgement as it is requested partnership. I don't know if you have the power to grant this, but if I got it, I'd try super dee dooper dee hard to uphold the priviledge. Thanks :oD.

[edit] Adminship Page. Possibility?
Hmm... Yea, a "Requests for Adminship" page would could really create possibitities! You talked about using Free Talk. I was thinking we could put an advertisment-type notice on the Free Talk page talking about a new Adminship page. If it isn' too confusing, the page could have various sections, one for requests, one for concerns, one for possible actions needing to be taken by the group as a whole, etc. Just a thought. Any ideas?
Howdychicken 04:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I also took the liberty to create a test page for the suggested new project: Artemis Fowl:Free Talk/Adminship. I put an experiemental message in, just to get a feel for it. I don't intend on keeping it, as it's for the other users to really decide. Don't know if that helps. Thanks.
--Howdychicken 04:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Request for Admin
McLovinn has posted a new request for adminship underneath my own. I've created the talk page as well... Can we maybe get something going here? Contact other active users maybe? Hoping you could get some other people in on this by posting messages on their talk pages so they can discuss the current development. In order to reach a concensus on these requests, we need more people. Just running that by you. We also need to discuss how many people's "yes"'s it will take to earn the user in questin adminship... Thanks. --☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]22:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Tense
Listen are we to write the articles in the present tense or in the past tense? I think past tense would be better. What do you think? Also what about having something like this[1] ?? It should help in maintaining uniformity in the articles.Jet'ikaTalk 12:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Jet'ika
- Hmm, I know you asked C Teng, but I wanted to answer as well (hope you don't mind). I personally feel that present tense is better. The Star Wars article you posted is in the past, whereas Artemis Fowl is a present series.
[edit] Hey!
Hi C Teng, it's Telos (from the Runescape Wiki). I just found this wiki and thought I could help out! Telos 07:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Would you be able to help me please? Someone who has the same IP address as me has been vandalizing the Runescape Wiki and I've been blocked. It says I can contact the guy who blocked me (User:Hurston) to discuss the block, but I can't because it won't let me edit his talk page and I have no idea what his email address is. Can you post a message on the RuneScape Wiki on my behalf explaining what has happened please? I'd be really grateful. Telos 22:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, you're the best. :D Telos 22:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Subsections
Good idea! I also thought they were a little confusing and hard to tell the difference between which request was which. I'll go in and change it. Oh, and I see that you're posting your support under the actual request. Should I move the old requests from the talk page to under the user's request or leave them on the project's discussion page? ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 00:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure... Leaving them on the talk page keeps them from getting mixed in with the request, but leaving them under the request is kinda like what happens when you vote for a Featured Wiki... I think that we should keep the supports or comments on the talk page, but do what you're doing with the whole "Strongly Support" and bullet. Kinda like this:
* Strongly Support - I blah blah blah blah and believe blah blah blah. Howdychicken 02:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC) * Support - So and So is blah blah blah. They blah blah. Howdychicken 02:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- But post it on the talk page. Sound good? Oh! And we could put a link for the talk page underneath each request so that people will know exactly where to go, kinda like this maybe:
To vote for this user, click here.

[edit] Hello There!
Hi C Teng!
I'm Jonathan (a.k.a JewntansOath) and I go around to various new wikis and help out whereever I can, even if it's just reverting small bits of spam or welcoming new users. I am working on becoming a Wikia Helper for the Entertainment Hub and I guess I'll need all of the practice I can get. I just stopped by here to say hi and see if I could help out with anything. Just go ahead and drop me a line on my tak page or email me and I'll get back to you whenever I can.
Thanks,

[edit] Our Icon for Site
I know y'all have already discussed it, but what about a change in icon for the site? Ya know, instead of the "wikia" pic. I created a new one and want to know what y'all think. I'm also posting this comment on the discussion page of Main Page, sooo... If I get the OK, I can do it myself, as the file's on my computer. PS: I someone ends up not liking it, we can always change it.
☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]14:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Got it! Can do. Oh, and should I wait for other people to respond about it on Main Page talk page? ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]21:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Above I added a revised version of the icon... Don't know if it's any better, and I'm sorry that I can't really eleborate, but it's what I have for now :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]00:45, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I suppose I could try. The image to begin with isn't exactly clear, so that may be the root of the problem. As for the A, that should be no prob. Let me see...☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]00:50, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Added newer version... Better? Or do I need to clear it up? I tried to find a less blurry version of the starter pic, but it still may fall short. Let me know :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]01:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, isn't it like 216 by 155 or something along those lines? I think it's 121 by 175... I don't know how shortening it will affect the blurriness factor. ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]00:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ok. Check the newest one. ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]00:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry to keep bothering you, but this is regarding my suggested icon. I have the support of User:Holly Short and no one else evens basically edits any longer. Is that enough to be able to OK the design and get rid of that "wikia" thing? If it is, fine and you can change it out. If it's not, then we can wait for more people that may or may not ever, well, put in their 2 cents :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]04:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Now this one?
[edit] Spotlight Request Problems
OK, I know you're big on the whole vote Artemis Fowl for Featured Wiki thing, however, they've changed up the system a bit, redirecting the original page and not using the voting method anymore. This link is to the current talk page for the Wikia:Spotlights page, now the base for the spotlight requests. I posted a request for being added to the spotlight list there, and Merrystar aka Wendy told me she would be happy to add us to the list, however we needed to clear up 2 things first:
- We have "100 uncategorized page", and we must "find a home" for them.
- Because I was the one who posted the request, and with my whole not being an admin thing, they need to confirm that the admins on this wiki are ready to handle this responsibility. Because you are the only active admin, I think you should go to the page and verify your approval, if, of course, you approve.
This is all for now. TTFN and onward then! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]19:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- We got it! Wendy informed me that we are now on the list. Is that awsome or what :oD?!☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]13:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Delete this please
Well this article, Domovoi Butler's serves no purpose and ought to be deleted. Also, how about adding a deletion request template? We just put the template on a page needing deletion and you or any other admins can then check it out. Should really help against vandalism.Jet'ikaTalk 15:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)Jet'ika
- Actually, I'd already created that kind of template awhile back. To use it, type
{{Delete|Your reason for wanting it deleted}}on the page, making the article easy to spot for deletion.
☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]17:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Delete...Delete...Delete...Can you please delete these?
Can you please delete these articles: Skirmish in E37, Contacting Artemis Fowl, and Maximum ride? For the last two, I deleted the content on the article--Contacting Artemis Fowl had a really weird message about things like "People tell me Artemis doesn't exist, but I say Ha! I'll find him. If you have anymore information, call this number... (giving a real phone number...)". Yup, and the Max ride one just had an incomplete, random sentence. The first one...well, you need only check the History for that Skirmish one to see what that was all about. I'll advise you not to though; it's not the best language management. Thanks. ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]05:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I found another vandalism article. Can you delete this please?☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]22:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry to bother you again, and I'm sorry if it takes time out of your day, but can you possibly look at the page Desserts? It just seems so random and, although it has something to do with the series, it contributes nothing to the wiki. I'll let you decide if it is deletable material. TTFN and onward then :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]02:19, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Editor of the Month (Thank you)
Very funny. Honestly, a virtual medal can be any color you like. ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]21:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ooo. Sneaky. Is C Teng 2 blocked? I'm guessing yes :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]02:18, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, well, Editor of the Month isn't really a vote thing. I started it because, well, some users need some more exposure or credit for their hard work. I was the first Editor of the Month (wonder how that happened...), then McLovinn, then you. Yup, this can be shown on the Main Page. TTFN and onward then! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me]01:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
Hello. I just want to say hi right off the bat. I understand that you're someone on this wiki that I should look up to (I learned this from the fact that you are Editor of the Month) and that can also play with my account until I'm nothing but rags and tears, so I want to be in your good graces.

[edit] Fw: Vandalism?
Turtlenecks left this message for me on my talk page, but, as I can't help him in this case, I'm shifting the responsibility to you. Thanks :oD! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 22:44, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think I found two vandalism articles. One is Cris Krinkler and the other is Bulter. The Bulter one isn't necessarily vandalism, but it's under the wrong title and is rambling and rambling and rambling. The Cris Krinkler one, I don't think is even a real Artemis Fowl character and is just a bunch of nonsense. Can you delete those please? They were made by the user 4.226.156.125. Thank you. --Turtlenecks (talk to the sweater) 21:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Adminship and Deletion page
Hi again! First, I've come to you to delete a vandalism article: Pig heart boy. Second, I've learned you are capable of granting me adminship. Can you change my user level because I now need to deal with larger wiki problems and don't want to bug you about them :oD? Thank you for considering. TTFN and onward then! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 00:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oh my goodness! Thank you for accepting my proposal :oD! Sorry about all the trouble I've probably caused and all the notes I've left you on this talk page. I hope you'll still edit this wiki, although I know you're busy with other projects. TTFN and onward then! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 22:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's something to look forward to! You've certainly left your legacy with this wiki, but I totally get being busy. Good luck with...whatever you work on! Thank you again. ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 02:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] MediaWiki:Common.css
I know I'm supposed to handle things like this, but can I ask you a favor? I'm not an expert on changing the skins on wikis, and SuperFlash101 created a new one for the wiki. However, I'm not sure how exactly to change the skin without disrupting the entire site. Could you please change this wiki to the new monaco, User:SuperFlash101/monaco.css? Thanks so much! ☼ Howdychicken [Talk to me] 14:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
