Can I download a protected image utilized in a news article that is technically copyrighted by Square-Enix and re-upload it as a user image at User-Charitwo.jpg for use as a user picture? -- 20:18, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Announcement
The main info is in. You can play with it if you'd like. They need links. -- 12:55, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

Your recent clean-up of Recent News has caused Image:060323 aht.gif to be come unused again. See Image talk:060323 aht.gif. -- 08:00, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

You don't want that in chronological order? O.o -- 08:57, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

I can't seem to get Image 2 to display correctly(right-aligned) in the Mercenary Rank section without bleeding it into the next one and breaking it. See if you can fix it, perhaps I overlooked something. Quick Reference -- 09:03, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

Edit war
There are people entering in to an edit war with me on the Einherjar chamber pages (Rossweisse's Chamber specifically). -- 09:23, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

User Page
Not that it really matters, as it is your user page, but I'm still curious why you added 30~ line breaks to the bottom of your userpage. -- 16:24, 13 June 2007 (CDT)

Didn't appear that way to me on the older revision. Then again, you could always put it under your "My Subpages:" section at the top. -- 11:51, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

What happened to YellowSnow? D: -- 15:05, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

Quest link changes
Not trying to make more work for you, but I kinda am avoiding changing links for quests in the user namespace to avoid drama. Had enough of that lately. -- 11:31, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

That's what I thought, if they care enough about their user/subpages they'd fix it themselves. I remember your warning, but with this and that and another thing, no more. There's a couple more, but you get the idea. -- 11:43, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Redirects
You have no idea. Before I even touched redirects, there were approximately 2500, now there are less than 1500. -- 16:33, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

AfD
Please see User:Charitwo/Sandbox at your convenience. -- 00:15, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

Think Gahoo must be busy, do you have any objection or further suggestion for my sandbox project? I'd like to implement it. For speedy delete I was thinking or. Any preference? -- 07:49, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

editing comments
lambasting him? i did no such thing until he coldly dropped copy-paste on my talk page and told me i was freaking out on his talk page when the original request had absolutely no hostile intention behind it whatsoever. i was courteous. i said please. i was well aware that it is 'acceptable,' but i personally would rather he didn't and i was asking him person-to-person to respect that wish, since there is no requirement that they be formatted that way. why is everyone making me out to be the awful person here? no. he's the one not assuming good faith here. i made a courteous request and he responded with discourteous copy-pastes and hard, outright insults. when i respond in kind, i'm the only one reprimanded? something seems incredibly wrong with this. charitwo needs just as much of a talking-to as you felt i did. --Eleri 10:38, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Patrol
I get this error when trying to mark an edit as patrolled.

You are not allowed to mark your own changes as patrolled.

Promotion
=O Uh... wow! Thank you! ^^ --Techno 15:01, 27 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Thank you for promotion ! --Calvagh 11:02, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Hiatus ... ?
Oh, come on now, you've played long enough to know that even 9 days can feel like a hiatus. =P -- Bhujerba 17:10, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Patroller - Upload log
Do you know if there is a way to monitor the Upload log with Patroller notifications too? That would make uploaded files easier to monitor too so we could check to make sure they are properly linked, need Picture Replace or Delete tags, adhere to image policy, etc. I was curious if this was available with the software too. Thank you also for the promotion! -- 05:35, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Thank you!
Mierin, I hope this is the right place to do it, but if not feel free to let me know! I appreciate your posting the information on my talk page, and I would like to suggest using those little flags for things like the top of quest pages, etc. While I can't take credit for the majority of them, I have a whole set of tiny flags like that, and I did create the Aht Urhgan flag! Even if you choose not to use them, I appreciate the guidance and look forward to helping with the wiki as much as possible. -- Ketra 15:54, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Ix'Job
Those qualify for speedy due to Ix'MNK, Ix'DRG, and Ix'DRK. Redirects of different casing are not allowed. -- 07:19, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Quoting
You don't need to quote me from anywhere, I already know exactly what you're referencing without. I like my page unbroken and can do without the preformatted boxes. Thank you. -- 09:03, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Linking between Wikis
sorry - I just followed Gahoos request on my discussion-page to do the linking. Didn't do it before this request - and ok, won't do it any further until being told to be allowed to do it again ;) -- Calvagh 13:34, 9 July 2007

Brown Box in Sitenotice
Ugly, would it be possible to change it to a different color? Was thinking 00FFFF or vice-versa! Brown doesn't go very well with maroon and green. Please :o -- 20:11, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

I hereby declare you do something about that ugly brown E3 box! -- 17:16, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

Yay, thank you! -- 22:07, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

WotG E3 Preview
Shouldn't this not be a subpage of Wings of the Goddess and add a See Also section to the main article? -- 10:54, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Oversight
I brought it up with Gani, he said to leave a link to it on his talk page so he can read up on it when he gets back. Thought you might have some interest too. User_talk:Ganiman -- 23:09, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

German Wiki
Hi Mierin, could you kindly move the category de:Category:Spezielle Fälle to de:Category:Ereignisse? SE uses Ereignis vor Special Event. --Samsara 14:00, 13 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Tahnk you, got your message. And I have another request, could you unprotect de:Das Sternenfest and de:Das Sternenfest 2007 for an hour, so we can add categgories and such? --Samsara 14:22, 13 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Ok, Mierin, you can protect them again, I'm done. --Samsara 14:48, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Categories
Fixed, thanks. -- 17:15, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Color template
I'd like to remove the elemental colors from Template:Color, so would you mind changing the  text to   and the    text to   on the Main Page and Recent News? ~ Karuberu 13:10, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Template:Title
Template:Title needs to remain protected to prevent abuse and especially until the coding/modifications are finalized. A wrong edit when this is implemented could cause dire repercussions. -- 17:31, 24 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Template:Edit Wars should be unprotected as well then. -- 17:38, 24 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Please delete Template:Title2. -- 17:51, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Special:Renameuser
This is the command to rename users, you could probably test it on User:Ganiman1 (the account he made to test the user creation log feature). -- 16:58, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
 * It doesn't work. -- 17:04, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Strange, maybe it's a setting needing enabled in a config file. Rename, Move, delete, user rights, rollback, patrol, etc.. permission levels are configured that way. -- 17:42, 26 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Btw, what error message do you get when attempting to use the feature? -- 18:47, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Sitenotice
Shouldn't a box be added for the Summerfest 2007? -- 18:47, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

por que? --

My main concern was any confusion it may cause as the both the account name and the nickname, which only utilizes the first name, may confuse the user with the admin. -- 11:01, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

So and admin stole my nick! >:| I altered my sig when I saw that yours was the same. Don't want to confuse users. :)--Mierin E 13:42, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Re: Cait
No other reason, other than being tired of seeing the same unintelligent and unoriginal vandalism being spread around. If you feel he should be given a second chance, I won't argue, though I'd recommend just resetting the ban to two weeks instead. No reason to put up with any vandalism without repercussions. -- 23:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Per his comment about the same vandalism, please see the history for Faceguard and Granite. -- 23:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Based on the two pages Char noted, it makes sense now. Okay, I agree with the decision.  Thanks, both of you.  -- 13:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

AfD Defcon
Take a look at the descriptions before Gahoo changed them :P It worked out exactly as I planned it would, Gahoo and CJ would keep everything below 50 just so I couldn't change it above level 5 -- 13:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
