User talk:NOBODY

Hello reader! Welcome to my talk page, the place where you can talk to me. I read and reply to messages every day, and will reply to you between 6-24 hours of you messaging me. I answer any types of questions people ask me.

Also, please note that I may not answer messages in the morning, as in the morning when I come on the computer, I peek at the recent changes, then begin doing my schooling. During the afternoon, I will answer and read messages only after I finish browsing the recent changes, as I have had a tendency in past years of looking at messages, browsing the recent changes, then forgetting I had a message to answer.

Lastly, please do not ask if I can go on the chat. I personally am very against the chat, as I find some users here spend too much time in it. Also, it is very time consuming and goes against the scope of the Wiki.

Furthermore, if you want to know what time it is where I live, it is :. Numbers before the : from 1-12 are in the morning, while numbers 13-24 are in the afternoon. Click here to refresh the page and see the time change.

Rustyard
Please have a look at the Rustyard Template. I'm trying to revise the pages related to Rustyard and I'm keeping the template as guideline. But I noticed that the template of Rustyard isn't complete as well. More, I'm thinking that the arrow buttons should be listed under buttons and not under blocks and Coloured Buttons and the other one should be listed on the Buttons_Rustyard page and not on the Blocks. Mind having a look and checking what's incomplete. Thanks!  Sim533


 * Alright, I have a look in it tomorrow. First editing avatars now I can access them again by link guessing :)  Sim533

Re: WIP
The wiki is for everybody. Since avatars are new, I decided to not add WIP. Go ahead and add that official source thing - but as all the others everything is official source. Isn't it better then to make it global?  Sim533

RE: Icebreaker news
Thanks! The article was very interesting. I didn't know the people at Nitrome were so depressed. Also, maybe they should restart the work at Super Feed Me from the ground up. 14:29, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Lazybones!
Look at the page Under Dwell/Quotes! They said that you edit it, but you can do better! Hurry up, you're as slow as a slug-turtle hybred!

Renaming
I can't undo some of the article renames that Magnavox Oddysey Fan made for some reason, and it tells me to ask an admin for help. So, could you help with that? Thanks. --  04:38, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

Public Announcement: New Account Requirement on Nitrome Wiki
preliminary discussion: http://nitrome.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog_comment:SQhi/What%3F!%3F_Anonymous_editing_is_now_blocked_on_Nitrome_Wiki/@comment-SQhi-20130703040630

Hello people, this is SQhi. As we know at the start of July anonymous editing was blocked on Nitrome Wiki network. The purpose of this discussion is to bring the active and prominent users together to inform our readers and followers of this drastic change.

I am sending this message to NOBODY, Santi, Ayernam, Emite, Takeshi and NTPYTO. If you feel that anyone else should be brought into the discussion, please let me know (talk page).

The first three steps I am proposing are as follows.

1. Through Wikinews. I suggest this entry.
 * 21 July - It is now necessary to have a Nitrome Wiki account to edit and comment on Nitrome Wiki and its sister wikis. This is due to changes in US law which does not allow our website to track IP addresses of children. If you would like to gain access to editing, commenting and more, please sign up for an account. You do need to be thirteen or older. official press release

2. Through banner on our Main Page (and/or through SiteNotice)

Dear readers, you now need to sign up for a Wikia account to edit and comment on Nitrome Wiki and its sister wikis. Changes to US law in which our website is hosted prevents us from tracking anonymous contributions from children using IP addresses. IP addresses can be used to approximate the location of internet access of children. official press release

3. The official press release through a blog entry.

Nitrome Wiki congratulates Nitrome on their official launch of Nitrome Profiles.


 * Since 1 July 2013, it is now necessary for all editors and blog commenters on Nitrome Wiki and its sister wikis(Fan Fiction Wiki and Pixel Love Wiki) to have a valid Wikia account.
 * This is because of changes in US legislation which prohibits US-hosted websites from collecting certain information from children including IP addresses. Nitrome Wiki is hosted on US servers.
 * Unfortunately, IP addresses is the means through which our software MediaWiki tracks anonymous contributions, hence, anonymous contributions are disabled.

Revision to COPPA A recent revision to Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) (http://www.ftc.gov/os/fedreg/2013/01/130117coppa.pdf) which came into effect 1 July 2013 does not allows US-based websites from collection of geolocation information from children, such as Internet Protocol addresses (IP). Nitrome Wiki is hosted on a US server and hence has to comply with US laws.

MediaWiki's use of IP MediaWiki tracks all anonymous contributions through the IP which they are posted from. IP is the internet addresses of your gateway to the Internet. This is an important tool for us as it helps us better identify users, and provides us the means to tackle disruptive acts such spamming, vandalism and uncivil behaviour.

IP of registered users are also recorded, though as such users can be easily identified by their username, this IP information is strictly archived. This information will only be accessed by the webmaster only for the investigation of the most severe of disciplinary offences such as sockpuppetry or vote-rigging, which can be carried out through the abuse of multiple accounts.

Risk of tracking through IP IP is also a form of geolocation information. Through tools such as whatismyIP, an individual can find out the geographical location of a child's internet access point, and hence approximate the location of the child in the world. The safety of the child can be further jeopardised if the child reveals personal information.

Blocking of anonymous editing If we were to allow collection of IP information, our webmaster would have to receive parental consent, which would be impractical to do so. We apologise for the inconvenience caused to all, especially to our young readers who are most affected.

Nitrome Wiki recommends that contributors sign up for an account as long as they are no longer children Since there are no restrictions prohibiting the collection of IP from anyone aged 13 and above, anyone above the age of 13 can sign up for an account for free. You only need an email address and your birthday (to verify your age). Your generous contributions will be fully credited to you on the edit history of each page, ascribed to your member-name. You will also gain access to all the privileges of a member, such as the chatroom, your own profile and talk page, ability to create blogs and upload photos and more.

Hi people, thank you for participating in this discussion. Since there is strong support for the wikinews option thus far, I'll get it ready to put it into effect. Before that though, I do need your consent for the official "press release". Thank you. Also, let's do decide together on what other channels to communicate this to our readers and anonymous contributors.

RE:Transfering flash game save data
I'm sorry because, to be honest, I'm pretty short of time right now.

If you have the time, could you give me a brief summary of how you attempted to transfer your saves. Yep, including which files and from which folder. It would better help me determine where you went wrong, and even whether the method no longer works. It's now Nitrome 2.5 after all. SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 05:12, July 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * I could create a tutorial on this if you are short on time, SQhi, if necessary. --   16:11, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

WikiNews: Anonymous Editing Disabled
Hi people, thanks for taking your time to read my proposal. Many of you seem to be fine with the wiki news blog, but since this is for public announcement purposes I do need your approval and consent. Could you look through and see if you agree to the blog content? It is a community affair after all. SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 18:28, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the commendation Ayernam and NOBODY :) If there are no other objections next morning I'll put it up. *starts to seek a few more opinions* SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 16:35, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Summer holidays and logo
Hello Nobody! Like past year, I'm going on vacation next tuesday (July 29th), so I already made the logo. http://pbrd.co/1dYmPs6 But it's not definitive because Nitrome could release a flash game this week. Anyway, I won't be here in August (only the last days of the month) and I wanted to let you know. Goodbye! 21:43, July 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I forgot to tell you. I will be able to make september's logo, so if they release a game in August, I think we should add it to next month's logo instead. The release of profiles seems as important (or even more important) as the release of a game. 10:24, July 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Anyway, if you want to make a logo, feel free to make September's one if you want. :D 10:34, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hi NOBODY, it's done! I'll leave it to you people about announcing through other channels. Have a nice day :) SQhi&bull;(talk)Wiki Planner 13:55, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Background
I think it's time to change the wiki background. What do you think? 11:51, July 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... what about adding the background once the game is released on Android? Knowing Nitrome as well as we do, they could even release Icebreaker in september. 13:25, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

RE:The reason you don't edit
Hello, NOBODY.

I know I used to edit more in past occassions, however, I just prefer to avoid editing here a little bit.

This is because I believe the wiki is fine as it is, and you no longer need my contributions. It's not like it's just because my edits get reverted, but I think that because of them to be getting reverted, I'm doing something wrong.

And yeah, you may probably notice that I don't like to have my edits reverted that much... it makes me feel like I'm always doing something wrong/bad so I'm not sure myself, or that my edits are pointless.

And I know that I haven't been like the other users that contribute a lot, so I apologise for that.

21:16, July 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * The last message helped me understand things quite better. Thanks for that, I just needed to know if I really wasn't needed here.


 * Oh and by the way, with "fine as it is" I guess I meant that the users that were actually most active here were enough to organise all of the articles themselves. But I think that it doesn't matter after all.


 * Oh, and another thing actually. Does the Nitrome Wiki allow british vocabulary? For example, changing "needs" to "has got to have" - is that allowed? Or is it just prefered like the US spelling? Some words as well, like organization and organisation - which is prefered?  22:39, July 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think I could. And, okay.  22:53, July 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * It is done now, but I think it needs more basis.  23:13, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Thanks
No problem! :D --   16:07, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE:WIP
Oh yeah, I know very well about that template - but since it was only a small edit I just wrote that on the preceding summary. Now the article may be edited. 23:48, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

Too many templates!
Hey. I've found that this article Ice (Ice Breaker) has got too many disambigunation templates. And I believe some of them should simply be deleted, or.. I don't know. Because of the following reasons: Solution: keeping the one on the top of the article and deleting the rest of them.
 * First of all, on top of the article there is one template which I believe is enough, as it clearly (in my opinion anyway) generalises about the sections it has got.
 * I find it pointles adding a template to the beginning of each section, because of the above reason and also, what the template says can be considered to be wrong - it says "This article is about..." when it appears to be actually a section only.

If you believe it's better to keep the templates however, I would suggest that at least we should create special templates that may read "This section is about..." and use it for the sections only, keeping the top one.

I also thought of bringing it to a blog post or even forums but did not know myself how to qualify the relevance/importance of the topic. 02:44, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Hi NOBODY, could I close this forum, since we have agreed to use the press release?

Untitled
Hello, I just created a infobox for Icebreaker map packs, and because I don't have much experience with Wikicode, it won't work at all. Can you help fix it? 02:19, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

A response
Thanks very much! Well, Mutiny has always been a game I like a lot, so I guess that now that I had completed it it was time to keep up with the edits. And the images thing was something I wanted to do since quite a long time, but eventually I would give up trying. Now I'm going to focus more on the writing part of these enemies articles.

And well, it has been hard... pretty hard indeed. I had to beat the whole game again, because my saves (all, except Colourblind's saves, oddly) were reseted.

And now... it is as if the long games list on my user page had - from one moment to another - been thrown to the rubbish can. How bad, isn't it? Oh well, at least I've been able to re-beat NMD already, as well as some very few games. 04:39, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Nitrome Wiki account
Do you mean the Nitrome Wiki YouTube account? Sure, you can have access to it. Funny that you asked today, because I was actually deciding to discontinue the BotW series and thinking about other videos we could upload. (Since the BotW videos didn't really work.) Showing how to get avatars could be a great way to attract viewers! Anyway, should I PM you via YouTube for the password? --  20:55, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, so you did mean the Nitrome Wiki Nitrome account. Unfortunately, I didn't create that account, so I don't have access to it.  I guess it's your choice which account you want to upload the videos to, but I don't think it matters as long as the Nitrome Wiki is linked in the description.  Also unfortunately, I didn't create a video for this week because I was going to discontinue the series.  I'm glad you liked them though!  --   21:17, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Ribbit unofficial names
Hello Nobody! I've got a big doubt about the names of Ribbit's enemies, which is if the fact that their given names are official is true or not. You may view them here.

I believe users around named each enemy themselves, as none of those names is mentioned in the game. Perhaps we should use the unofficial games template, shouldn't we?

I've got to admit that the "Catpiders" name is a creation of mine...

OFF TOPIC: Ain't it a good time to test my new sig? It's got the viral worm from Oodlegobs!

My signature
Get into wiki chat ASAP. Bluefire2 (talk) 20:57, August 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind, fixed it. How come you didn't spot that one? :P 20:57, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Explanation, just in case you want one
I've managed to crack it. So some noob put an open  tag for some strange reason, and for an even stranger reason didn't close it. Now, as you might have noticed, my signature's template is directly transcluded onto my navbar template. The fact that there was an unclosed noinclude at the end of my signature not only stopped the closing  tag being carried with the navbar (making the navbar styling spill out onto the page), but also made sure that the former would be very hard to spot, as the tag was also at the end of the navbar itself; that meant that nothing else apart from that closing tag was left out in the transclusion, causing no visible change to the navbar itself to occur and thereby giving me no clues whatsoever as to what the problem was. Hope you understand; if you don't, this might help. 21:17, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Great job!
Thanks! Yeah, I was just viewing the Icebreaker iOS template and I knew I had to make an article about my favorite character. :P --  04:15, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

Random
What program do you use for recording the videos you upload on Youtube? I think I'd have to quit using Bandicam, since it generates a text on the top part of the videos, and it is rather annoying.

BTW I almost got an edit conflict with the money page. XD
