"Ah. A brand, spankin', jim-crackin' dandy fresh new talk page! No doubt this will soon get trampled over and clogged with spam messages."

- BobTheDoctor27, appreciating your worthwhile messages.

I thought so. And of course, anything that mentions your work is guaranteed at least an A+. Anything else would be ludicrous.

Main Page
Hey Bob, I have drafts for the FI, FC, and FU. Would you mind taking a look at them? Could you also revise it some? That'd be great. Do you want me to just copy and paste my drafts on your talk page? Thanks a ton,  Pitcat 00:11, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

At least the two mocs can be WIPs together. These look great, Bob. I like how you're integrating both siolver and gunmetal grey in your Tayluu moc, can't wait to see the final product. Artek206 (talk) 23:36, October 4, 2015 (UTC)

I require your presence in chat for Main Page stuff. Pit, if you're reading this, come as well.

Bob, Invader's MP drafts are on the google document mine are on. Just gonna let you know  Pitcat 22:25, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Graviton
So I noticed some strange things recently... certain things indicate that you used to have a page for Toa Graviton, but it was deleted. Why is that? He has a moc... an old one. He has backstory, which is his entire character basically. So I assume there is a reason for it. (Also, Artuado. Almost the same story)

-- Windfall the  Wanderer



On a more serious note, have you seen the trailer for Jessica Jones yet? And I know you've mentioned that you aren't all that into Doctor Who anymore, but I'm curious if you have any thoughts on the new series.

Also. Do you remember a while back when I asked you about writing a short story centered around Kyros' chute accident in Metru Nui? You gave me the go ahead then, but I figured I'd check with you again just to make sure it was still ok to finish and post it. I was thinking it'd make a nice story to release sometime in December or January. (This would have no affect on the Pofia story, which is progressing reasonably well all things considered).

Hey, just wanted to ask: Why is the Tolunga page blank? I don't understand why, but I can't see it.

EDIT: Never mind, I think I fixed it.

Many thanks, Bobdo! I'll try and build it with the body outline you gave me. Thanks again. He will live.

Re:Awkward situation
Oh dear. I was afraid of that. I wasn't planning on revealing this just yet, but since Tusval will be my secondary selfMOC soon, you can use this image instead

The trailer was quite good. Tennant looks to be perfectly cast, you just have to listen to the trailer and it sends chills up your spine, even after several viewings. Since we don't have Netflix I'll have to wait to watch it, but it looks to be amazingly done.

So far Series 9 has been fairly solid in my opinion. Capaldi has plenty of potential, but really the less than stellar Series 8 has given him a roadblock in the sense that he never had that moment like Smith had on the rooftop in "Eleventh Hour." But I would expect Series 9 to rectify this by the end. And I agree, Missy definitely did do wonders for "The Magician's Apprentice" and "The Witch's Familiar", though they would've been decent episodes anyways. But I suppose I can understand, to an extent. I'm not qutie there myself, and I doubt I'll get to the point where I won't enjoy watching it, but after all, there's only so much one can do with a lonely alien traveling across space and time in a box before it all starts to feel the same.

Ehehehe. Thanks. New avatars seem to be popular recently, so I thought I'd get in on that. -- Windfall the  Wanderer

Heh. Thode must've driven us to use the Miru. Hail Thode. And Denmark. And Hydra.

P.S: I'm now on Chapter 7 of Haunted Origins. Just need to finish this and the Epilogue and tada.

Hello Bob! I just wanted to drop by to ask a few questions. Would you terribly mind posting some instructions for the Torso builds of your Tayluu and Theran MOCs? I would really appreciate it.

Leg Instructions
Heyo, Bob. I recall you asking for a how-to on Tayluu's lower legs a while back  so I went ahead and posted instructions. Just a heads up. Artek206 (talk) 00:11, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

Voting Center
(applauding) Thank you!

Hey There
Cheers to you to, mate (:   - Pitcat 01:21, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I overexaggerated. I really did not appreciate the minor inconvenience you caused, switching my image for FI with something else. I figure it's equal revenge for telling CB you praised him. I'm sorry I overreacted to that. All is forgiven? - Pitcat 13:01, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Alright, sorry for the misunderstanding. Most of the time, I name my images (and I thought I did so with this one, too). IT must not have worked and this happened. Thank you, however. I deleted the earlier message because I thought you had trolled me (and you didn't). I wish I knew that before I re-uploaded the image. I really wish I could change the name on that. - Pitcat 17:42, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Uuuuh, how do I do that? I am very uneducated in this field. We could do it on chat whenever you want, either. - Pitcat 18:31, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Oh. My. Goodness.

So this is what happens when we talk to Delta about where his story should go after Hellbound, and I suggested China, since digging past Hell will get you to China (like the cartoons say). Then we get into this discussion on how Karzahni is basically communist China with child labour, until we come to this conclusion.

Vacca Nui
Hey man. I wanted to make one of my character have some history on Vacca Nui, but to elaborate on his Bio, I need some more info on the Civil war and such. Would you be willing to provide some more detail for that, like on the Vacca Nui page?

So just like replacing an image, does editing a template take a while for the changes to show up on the pages with said template? -

How long does a ban normally last?

(Biomarvel740)

How exactly did I misbehave in the chat? Sure, I know what I said, but why can't everyone have an opinion at leaset? Also, yes I taunted Thode to a duel, but honestly, it's all in good fun. So please take the ban down? I wasn't trying to insult Thode, just giving him a challenge. Isn't considering him as a challenging opponent a compliment in a way anyways?

(Biomarvel740)

Could you meet me on chat ASAP? I have all the spotlights for the MP ready (including Delta's).

Cheers and welcome back.

To Bobthedoctor27,

I just want to say, politely, that the page of Youl, third continent of Jekrox Phasor, was still under development. I would like the deletion cancelled if possible, as I had only just made it, and it was still under development.

Regards,

Mavrah333

Well, this was a fun thing to wake up to. :)

You've cranked out yet another spectacular moc, Bob, this one standing with pride and an authoritative pose. The color scheme fits together well, giving off an elite kind of vibe, and the mask is effective, adding to the personality of this hardened warrior.

Again, well done, Doctor! And thank you for yet another amazing iteration of Tayluu.

Hey, Bob! I was wondering if you might be willing to post some instructions for Tollubo's torso build. Max the paranoid android (talk) 12:12, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Also, perhaps you could post some instructions for your G2 Pohatu revamp? Thank you for your time. Max the paranoid android (talk) 18:11, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

What was wrong with Nerok?
Greetings, Bob. I just checked the page I posted for my MOC Makuta Nerok and I just found out that it was deleted because it was considered as a stub. However, in my point of view, it wasn't that much incomplete. I mean, it had a template, biography (not complete, but it had content), a section for abilities and traits... So, i am not sure if it's deletion was justified, unless I am skipping something, but there is another thing I realized.

When I looked at the deleted paged, it said (Exceeded stub time limit: content was: "{Wikify|January 22, 2016} {Template:Makuta |makuta_image = 250px |makuta_region = Kyria Nui |makuta_mask = Great Naiderek |makuta_tools = Claws, Double-Edged Hammer |makuta_status = ...). You deleted it at January 7, when it said that the deadline for me correct it was January 22. So I'd like to know what was that impulsed you to delete it earlier than usual, and what was that page lacking, and most importantly, can you revert the deletion so I can correct what was wrong.

Don't take the wrong idea. I am not angry. I just want an explanation. Have a nice day.

--Garmagic (talk) 09:33, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

Sounds intriguing. I shall certainly have to look into acquiring it then. At the moment, from what I've seen of the Protectors they definitely strike me as stronger characters than the fairly one-or-two-dimensional toa, so a book focusing more on them should be an interesting read regardless. I shall let you know when I manage to get my hands on a copy.

Page Adoption
Hey Bob, thanks for voting on my Page Adoption method. By the time of this message, we have 12 votes, and now that you are a bureaucrat, I think we can have this law passed. Since I am not experienced with code, should we update the stub/wikify/delete articles with an adoption tag of sorts? If so, I won't be able to do it. Now we can actually do something with these articles. Should a blog post be made about the rule? Please respond when you can. Thank you - Ad  Victoriam!  16:23, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Mate, I'd like to solicit some help. Specifically, with the Southern Continent page. I noticed you cleaned up and revised the Northern Continent page, filling in some locations, detailing some history, adding known inhabitants. I wanted to do the same thing for other similar pages, like which Barraki controlled which region, what each region produced or what function it served, stuff like that. You also seem to have an agenda(or at least a lot of ideas) for filling in these gaps of geography and culture and attitudes, so naturally I'd like your help with this much needed endeavour.

Hello, Bob. It has been a little more than a week since I last talked to you about the page adoption issue. It had enough votes for it to pass. as you know. When I last talked to you about it, you said something on the lines of "just let it go through naturally." I know you have real life to worry about and this isssue is very low on your priority list. I assume that an admin can also help with what needs to be done (adding text to the stub/delete/wikify templates and the official blog post). Would that be the wisest choice of action? Thank you, - Ad  Victoriam!  15:59, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

I'm really not trying to be an ass about this or anything. I do apologize for the incident in chat, it was uncalled for. With luck we can put this whole matter to rest with some civilized discussion.

Hello! I’ve been looking at your creations, am I’m impressed! I’ve been a fan of bionicle for quite a while, and I’ve actually never seen such great mocs.

I also plan on reading some, if not all, of your stories, as they seem infinitely interesting. :) mercpro (talk) 19:40, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Personally I prefer the first one but do whatever you want. Looking good, though.

Seems I'm not the only one who wants to write a G2 story!!Glad to know that there are people finally embracing the new storyline.

Any chance you could give me some advice on writing? I’m working on a story of my own, actually. Toa  Diablex  15:02, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips, man.

Also, you have idea for what I could do with a prequel? I plan to kinda-sorta write a backstory of Skull Basher and Skull Slicer. Skull Slicer is a little obvious: he’s a gladiator. But I’m having trouble with Basher. You have any idea what names I could give him? Thus far, I only have Kaitoa, which is Maori for “brave man” or “warrior”, but sounds much more like a females name...

Also, what exactly would he do? I’m having a whole slew of ideas, and could use a little help. Summer is almost here, and I won’t be here to exactly post, per say, but I will be writing and planning the story (I don’t actually have a computer to call my own). I just need a few tips to get started, because after seeing some of your stories (Holy….) it kinda makes writing intimidating, with all the intricate skills you portray. Thanks again. Toa  Diablex  22:27, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! That actually really clears things up, and it even helps my story make more sense. I actually wanted Skull Basher to be one of the more intelligent ones when he was alive, and Slicer to be one of those you would call a “seasoned professional”.

Oh, and as far as names go, I’ve already found one for Slicer. I’m calling him Amaru. Sound good? It’s the Maori word for the Scarlet rātā vine, Metrosideros fulgens. It also just so happens that it means to be “dignified” or “distinguished”. Fitting.

Once again, thanks. I didn’t get to see those animations, nor am I able to read the books right now. This is mostly because I didn’t find out this was happening until later (I really came late to the party, didn’t I?). Toa  Diablex  15:19, April 18, 2016 (UTC)

'Massive Erect Statues'
Alright, y'know what? I get it. I get the fact it starts of 'innapropriate' and then sequences into something rather different. Although, might I add - Why is that a bannable offence?

You 'erect' buildings. In other context you may see 'erect' as a 'naughty word', though it's also a term used for building and positions. It would be too much of an assumption you have a dirty mind, and I won't accuse you of anything.

Might I add to my 'argument' that another person (Rando07) was in that chat - And no banning was brought upon me. If you two are the same rank, why does one of you bring upon a verdict and the other doesn't?

Best regards, a little confused,

User:Mizziracer, world's end. 17:26, April 18, 2016 (UTC)

Bragging. Bragging? Bragging. Amongst all that's new, it's certainly the most recent. I'm not sure what I said that could be counted as 'bragging', I told windfall I had got banned - yes - and was unsure of the time. I gave up trying to enter at about 5 minutes, because I did not know the time - As I was explaining to windy. If I wanted to brag about punishment, I'd go off and be a hip cool kid with the rest and wear the baseball caps backwards like most of the human teenagers do.

But alas, I don't.

It's hard to reach a clear consensus when the verdict is given immediatley after. It's like giving 7 years in prison before the jury has even entered the coutroom. And 'numerous times'? I said it once. In other context, I may have spoken of other things - Which added to the conversation (the good, bad and the very ugly of indie 'hit' game Undertale). Within the chat rules it says no pornography - Printed or visual material containing explicit detail of sexual conduct. Didn't detail a story, that or the rule is so broad that it could mean almost anything. I spoke of how pornography had effected communities (like indie 'hit' game Undertale) and had made it worse. If that is a crime in itself, then chain me up and throw the large mass of flesh that is myself into prison.

Yes, I used 'erect' as a phallic expression. Yes, people have sexual organs. We know - Don't we? You don't condemn 'life skills' lessons as pornographic content simply because they speak of genitalia. Not that the people in chat would've been morally shocked by the context. If you humans can't get a grip of yourselves when chat comes up (which isn't recorded and sent to everyone) of someone implying something phallic, then I don't know why I try.

In no way am I trying to offend each and every one of you in the chat - But if the rules and the implication of said rules are not one and the same, then I don't know what to tell you.

Also, as for Rando07's involvement, he could've banned me as quickly as you came to the chat - So why didn't he? That's all I want to know.

Of course, I'll improve my conduct in chat - Well, this chat anyways. Best regards, now even more confused,

User:Mizziracer, world's end. 19:20, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

Script
Hey there! I'm doing fine, thanks for asking.

Anyway, I want to clarify that yes, this is in fact a script I wrote, but I've had no intentions to make it public in any shape or form. What you're seeing is basicly a leak.

Yes, I am. Was going to change my name but instead decided to resort to sockpuppetry. :)

(There weren't many edits on the last acc, and I wanted to keep the name change option free.) Kneeler (talk 20:24, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

No, just the two. Slicer account was closed years ago. Kneeler (talk 20:29, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

Also closed the last account to avoid confusion and SM's mockery.

Basic color schemes for the templates are done thanks to I39. Would like User:Kneeler/common.css deleted now, but there's a small fix that needs to be made in MediaWiki:Common.css:  needs to be replaced with   when possible.

Inspirational Tidbit
I just found something that resembles what​ Skull Slicer could have been when he was alive! Asura Basura Toa  Diablex

Whatever Happened To Ehlek's Species?
In terms of before the Great Flood, Ehlek's species, known as the Aq-Skakdi in Pirates, went into a Civil War following the abupt disappearance of their Chieftain. Like the other Barraki species, the Aq-Skakdi's conflict within their own ranks lessened their population numbers significantly.

Then came the Great Flood. While the Aq-Skakdi are amphibious and were underwater when the Flood occurred, ocean currents and incoming debris from destroyed locations decimated their nation of Ehl. With so little of their numbers left and also fearful of other species coming to finish them off at their weakest, the Aq-Skakdi migrated to Zakaz, where they hide amongst their cousins under the guise of their Third Powers being water-breathing. Obviously, the two reasons for the decision to hide their identities from the Skakdi are that the Aq-Skakdi sees their surface world relatives as being one of those who would harm them and their relations had already been tense for a while now.

Help me, BobTheDoctor27, you're my only hope
Right-o, I need some help. As you probably remember, it has been established that some pages have an immunity to the stub tag (like element pages). I've looked through the policy pages and can't locate this bit anywhere. Do you know what else it extends to, if anything (Kanohi pages in particular)?

Ah, that is exactly what I was looking (and hoping) for! As ever, thanks for the help (and the typical quick response).

So, I was thinking that perhaps we should have a policy page compiling stub, wikify, and adoption rules all in one place for those few new users who bother to read the policy pages before editing.

Not the least bit surprised there. But good luck getting a staff meeting started.

Quick question: am I allowed to use other people's pictures without their permission in the infoboxes for the species pages I've been working on?

Right, I've gone on BS01 to figure out how the Matoran Universe works, and I'm sort of getting the whole "dome" thing. But I can't find anything about what's between each dome. I always thought they were "regular" islands with liquid protodermis oceans in between, but the BS01 article says nothing about oceans (well, it does, but it's worded to sound like each dome has its own ocean... the article actually doesn't seem to be written very well, but that's beside the point). Any chance you know what's canonically there?

Ahhhh, so it's chutes instead of oceans to get to other islands.

Very helpful, informative, and interesting. Thanks for being so comprehensive (... and for answering my question).

I've got two questions for you this time.

First off, I've looked briefly on BS01 and can't find anything about how many Toa Stones a Toa can create. I know Lhikan made six, but he might not have had full Toa Power. Any idea how many is the max?

Secondly, I'm working on making major changes to the history of the Chalkaverse-1, and I wanted to know some things about the Fractures Universe. Mainly, was the island of Mata Nui ever settled on, and did Voya Nui leave the GSR (or whatever the heck happened to it)?

Alright, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Ah, I didn't even think about the fact that the GSR was on Bara Magna (though I never realized it was standing). Thank you for that lovely wall of text :P.

Invader's message to Mizziracer said something about only admins being able to remove stub templates. I've never heard of this being a rule so I want to clarify if this is indeed a rule or not. In the past, I've been telling newer users that any experienced person can come by to remove the stub, so I don't want to mislead them.

Hey Bob, I finally found the right PDF file for that story, I have the first chapter uploaded here. If you get a chance to read it, I'd appreciate some feedback to see how I could improve it. Thanks in advance. User:Toa Tasorin 06:02, August 3, 2016 (UTC)

Why exactly did you delete my comment on Invader39's blog post?

Talk Page
As you saw ealier, I resolsved the issues with Invader39 and we agreed to make a new start; effectively start from a blank slate again. I interpret them as therefore agreeing with me when I requested my talkpage be unprotected and cleared of all the unplesant business that transpired as a result of me yesterday. I would be very happy if you could oblige with my request. Thank you. Kralich (talk) 22:39, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very kindly for accepting my request-I was wondering if you might spare some time to read through and critique the two articles I have written thus far? http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Ta-Metru_Enforcers here and http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Naraku here. I intend for this to be a sort of overarching thing and I'll have about fifty full articles once it all gets completed-I shall endeavour to deliver on that. If I succeed and find it interesting, there's hundreds of ideas I have that I've never really put to paper before, so naturally I'd find it interesting to share them. One final thing-For the last three years or so, I ran an instagram account that was my primary outlet, here https://www.instagram.com/toakralich_bionicle/. I used to put creative writing on there, but sadly it became apparent to me very quickly that my followers weren't paying much attention nor interest to the lengthy (for Instagram, anyway) biographies I created for characters and I lost interest. Kralich (talk) 22:39, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

I also had some other questions regarding the guidelines of posting content on here that a skim of the rules didn't quite answer. They're admittedly...niche, and as a consequence I don't fault the guidelines for not being clear at first glance whether what I have planned is permitted or not, but I would still like to avoid any undue issues. Is there an easier way to contact you besides this back-and-forth of talk page here and talk page there? Thank you. Kralich (talk) 22:44, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Further Article Evaluation
Many thanks for taking the time to review my articles-I appreciate the kind words. I've always been a narrative person and fundamentally I love writing in every shape and form. I'm currently working on a novel, on a tangent, which is an alternate universe Star Trek-inspired sci-fi book with about 90 pages or so at current and around 24000 words. It's got a fair way to go and it's by far my longest project, but I've been juggling it with this as well. I was hoping I might use this to submit more articles for review-given your status I thought it prudent I obtain your advice first. Here's a link to one I also wrote recently, continuing on from that original idea in the adopted article. http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Hateshi

This links to another question I had-Obviously, some of these Matoran will have very similar backstories in parts, and having read the Bionicle Encyclopaedia through time and time again I noticed this to be a common theme for teams of individuals. Assuming they do have some uniqueness in pictures and personality elements, as well as unique histories in some parts, would this kind of completionist attitude along with some arguably identical parts be permissable, or should I aim to effectively reword every possible reference I can? For reference, I mean that instead of copying the paragraph, " When he awoke, his body was twice its previous size, his strength doubled in turn, and he found he was far more durable and able to resist damage to his frame. Additionally, like all of his allies, he had been given limited elemental control via enchanted daggers, which he christened Pyron. This greatly increased their effectiveness in battle and allowed them to equal the strength of another Toa when combining their powers together," which would be a virtually identical backstory in most of their cases, I might reword it? My reference for this in the encyclopaedia is Norik and Iruini's section stated "what masks and tools their wielded as Toa is not yet revealed", and also the opening paragraph on the Inika forms of Jaller, Matoro, Hahli etc. Thanks again.

I haven't had the pleasure of knowing you very long but in my time here you've been very helpful and understanding, so I too shall extend birthday wishes, assuming I'm not late.

Happy birthday, old man.

Happy  Barf day, Bob. Although I've only really known you for but 144 days, I feel like I have known you for 20.57 weeks.

Apologies for missing you in the forum chat last night. I shall prostrate myself before my shrine to Thode.

Wiki Statistics Since Chat's Deactivation
Yesterday I wrote up a report on the trends in wiki activity since chat's deactivation. Given that you were the primary proponent in the decision to deactivate chat, I recommend that you look over these findings and see whether or not deactivating chat actually accomplished what you would have liked it to have accomplished.

Personally, I highly recommend that you reconsider your decision. The statistics speak for themselves, but chat was an essential factor in CBW's community. Mainspace contribution is important, yes, but I think what's most important is that the wiki has a community; in my opinion, this is much more difficult to accomplish when chat is disabled. There's also the whole "we should have had a MCC vote for this" thing that I hint very strongly at in my latest blog comment Whatever your final decision, I'd like for you to consider what I've said regardless - based on what I've heard from just about every other user I've talked to in the meantime, it reflects their opinions on the matter as well. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 14:35, August 28, 2016 (UTC)

^^I am curious as to your thoughts on this.  HA IL    DEN  MARK  22:47, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Forum Reactivation
I appreciate your effort to make some sort of compromise, but I guess I should have made it way clearer in my initial message that this is not what I'm looking for. As much as I want a resolution to the problem that deactivating chat started; I'm just as much looking for some answers as to why this whole process was handled as poorly as it was, and how you're looking to avoid it happening again. Deciding, without any evidence of consultation with the community or other members of staff, that we're going to reactivate the forums is only a perpetuation of the problem that started this whole mess: You overstepped your administrative bounds and you're making no attempt to fix it.

Why did you decide to deactivate chat with minimal consultation with the members of the community, in spite of the fact that the MCC was created for this exact purpose (and, yes, I know the fact that a vote should have been held there was pointed out to you before chat was deactivated). Why did you lie about the decision having reached by an "administrative consensus" in spite of the fact that at least two of the four admins on the wiki did not consent to the decision? Why did you claim that you were going to "give it until the end of the month and monitor the Recent Changes more frequently than normal, keeping a close eye on both the Wiki chat and the Wiki activity" and then still deactivate chat in spite of the fact that, as indicated here, wiki activity actually doubled during this period? And why is it that, after all of the problems that have arisen from your refusal to consult with others, you're deciding, again wholly on your own, to reactivate the forums?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not entirely in opposition to the forums. I am in opposition to the fact that you seem to think that you, as bureaucrat, can do whatever you want. You can't. Nowhere in policy is it stated that an administrator can simply decide to deactivate or enable a major wiki feature simply because they want to. That's the entire reason the MCC was created - to give the community the input that they rightfully deserve in making decisions like these. That, too, is the reason the Board of Trustees was created - for admins and community representatives to reach on-record consensuses on policy decisions. They were not created for an admin who thinks they know best for the wiki to make brash and inadvisable (I was going to say "unadvised", but it's very clear to me that you were advised and simply chose to ignore that advice) decisions like disabling major wiki features without consulting anyone.

In fact, policy makes it pretty clear that admins do not have the power to do this. Take heed of this section of the user rights policy. "Administrators of wikis are not by any means "in control" of the community, meaning that the decision of an administrator is NOT automatically the "last word". They should respect the general wishes of the community just like anyone else; they, like all users, should always discuss problems and try to find a solution that both sides agree to." You seem to think the exact opposite, and you have very much failed to respect (or even try to listen to) the general wishes of the community. Consider this as well. "An administrators' job is instead simply to protect pages following the protection policy and block users who are not following the rules." Where do you think that "administrators can disable wiki chat because they feel like it" falls into those administrative responsibilities?

I imagine that it might be hard for you to recognize, but even though you have the best interests of the wiki in mind it does not mean you can make decisions without at all consulting the community. You might think you know best, but this fiasco indicates otherwise. The best way for you to make the decisions the wiki needs is in consultation with its members.

Proceed as you wish, but I highly advise that you do not make another brash decision without consulting the MCC and perhaps make a better effort to consider what the community has to say and show that you both recognize and understand their complaints. This is your chance to show that you recognize the limits on your authority and the necessity of those limits. Please take that chance. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 06:02, August 30, 2016 (UTC)

Regarding Deadshot
How exactly am I plagarizing? And I'm not crossovering, I'm giving credit where credit is due. So what if the page is from his perspective?

Fusionx963 (talk) 20:54, September 2, 2016 (UTC)

Am I not allowed to give credit where it's due?

Fusionx963 (talk) 21:06, September 2, 2016 (UTC)

If you don't mind my butting in: what exactly was wrong with Fusion's latest page? I'll admit, I'm not exactly well-versed in Deadshot's character, but I don't really see any "blatant plagiarism" on the page. I also fail to see how it's a crossover. Near as I can tell, he just based a character off of Floyd Lawton, and used both his alias and surname (surname as a Kanohi, rather than a surname of course). He notably gives credit to DC for the name and the character he based his off of. Besides, we all base our characters off others sometimes. Overall, seems perfectly fine to me.

Still not seeing it.

Don't make it so easy, nerd.

So you've finally tried your hand with Shapeways, eh? Any plans on getting Trollubo an inorganic Suletu, or a Mask of Ultimate Power ? :P

Where exactly did you get that mask from anyway? I can't seem to find it on Shapeways.

Send em whenever you're ready.

I believe these were what you were looking for ? :P

Even if you got the wrong one, it's still a nice design (and power) either way.

Re:Mask of Conjuring
Golly, that is quite striking. You got it off Shapeways, I assume?

Hello

I need to see your skull creature M.OC's.

Adoption
I've seen a few articles that are available for adoption haphazardly dotted around; however, other articles which haven't received edits by the original author since as early as 2008 are not, for some reason, given this template. Is it up to staff or to users to create adoption templates? I'd likely adopt three quarters of the stub and wikifying articles if the case was users could choose to adopt the article, going under a certain criteria. For some examples of really old articles which could probably use an adoption tag:

http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Mountains_of_Doom

http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Syoresha_Mekore

http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Tori

I'd be happy to adopt a bunch of articles if there were set user criteria; otherwise, these three, at least, have seen no substantial action for at least four years each and so are beyond waiting for their owner, I would imagine. Kralich (talk) 11:56, September 18, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the response and clarification-I intend to adopt as many as I can whilst balancing my own content, as it seems like some of these have kernels of intriguing ideas but don't really develop them justly. Kralich (talk) 16:34, September 18, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I saw those on TTV, and his other kinds. It makes me really jelly because I want to be able to do that for Nothing to Lose XD

I love that guy's dedication.

Hello, I just wanted to inform you that my page Sol has been edited to meet the requirements of the Wikify template. May you please remove it, or let me know if it's okay to do so myself? thank you. Toa  Diablex

Glad I'm not the only one who notices this. I'm in the annoying process of fixing it now.

What does that thing mean, anyway? Toa  Diablex

Thanks for the tip. I currently like this skin, so I'm not sure how I'm going to avoid this...I guess I'll just use the source editor instead.

BTW, I plan on writing fanfiction here soon. Just to see what level I am, I would be honored to have you critique one of my other works. It's from another unrelated franchise, but you doing so would really help me to see exactly what I should be changing before I start. Would you be willing? Toa  Diablex

Thanks! Like I said, it’s an honor to have a writer of your caliber read one of my works!

Please Enjoy!

RE: Halloween
Yeah, Invader told me in the discord, so no worries. But thank you regardless for the heads up. Kralich (talk) 08:18, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

Embarasing Question
Yeah... So, I just made a page, and I need your help. Can you change the title of the page for the last part of the parentheses shows up? Thanks in advance, and sorry to bother you. Toa  Diablex

Hoo boy, that's actually a lot of questions I've only partially considered. I ought to consider these more before I answer them. But on which page exactly did you discover that detail? I don't think it was mentioned on the Tusval page.

The image looks great, it'll do very nicely. Excel sior!

Hi!

I' d like to ask You one question: why did You cancel Eselox's page? I like that character and ( if it's not a problem) could You, please, bring her back. User talk:SmokMaciek

I have an embarrassing question of my own. I have created a page for an old Dark Hunter MOC of mine, but I no image of the complete MOC. Those were lost when MOCPages crashed years ago. The only surviving image I have of him is in a partially disassembled state. I'd rebuild him myself, but I don't exactly have access to my LEGO pieces or the space to build with them these days. I was wondering if you could... well, recreate his full form for lack of a better word.

Alright then. Let me know if you wish to do so or not once you regain access to the parts.

I wasn't sure if I was going to say anything, but I feel a degree of obligation to comment on this. I intend this as constructive criticism- not an accusation- but I do feel that something is off about your comments on this talk page in regards to the character name "Meltdown."

Need I remind you Bob, you yourself have created similar characters in the past, predominantly among these being Bonecrusher and Leontes. Though I am aware you have retired some such characters, you still did exactly what this contributing member has done. I understand where you are coming from, to an extent; the name itself is not fantastic, but there is no inherent problem with it.

What I must protest however, is your use of Bureaucratic authority in this instance to attempt to railroad this user into changing his character's name. It is not a crossover, as he has said repeatedly, it is an original character created by Fusion that shares a name with various other fictional characters. Nowhere is it stared that this is not allowed: indeed, if it were you yourself would have broken said policy on multiple accounts. Now, there's nothing wrong with making a recommendation to change the name, contributor to contributor. Such interactions are what drive communities such as this one. But instead, you challenged his decision with hostility and a degree of arrogance, if I may. This exchange was unwarranted, in my opinion.

Speaking as a former siterunner, I personally have experienced similar situations and understand exactly where you are with this matter. I must advise you of a very simple truth that many leaders in all areas tend to neglect: you do not always know best. That's the harsh fact of the matter, and I have fallen victim to ignorance of it on several occasions. It drives away newcomers who end up feeling restricted and old dogs who no longer feel the have the same freedoms they used to. It is an extremely detrimental attitude to the community to begin to assume you have tbe best idea of how things should be.

Speaking as a friend, I have an immense level of respect for you and your accomplishments. You have worked your way to where you are, and I wouldn't even dream of questioning that. But I don't want things to turn around on you.

I see no problem with the Meltdown character as it stands. I would just like to politely suggest that you reevaluate how you handle such situations, as a former admin and siterunner, a fellow user and as a friend.

Respectfully, Your Friend, DeltaStriker

Hi!

It's me again. About our previus talk: I wasn't talking about Eselox as a character, I was talking about her page. When I try to visit it, it says ,, redirected to Betak". Why is it like this?
