thanks
just want to say thanks for undertaking the incredible amount of hassle sorting/unduping the icons is. --Uberfuzzy 12:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * G/You are welcome. My spouse thinks I am addicted to editing, though. :-)P   J a n z e- N e k   ComsCons 13:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So do we. Not that we're complaining mind you. (We're addicted too.)--Kodia 16:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

And in case you've never looked at the stats with respect to your addict...*cough*...valiant efforts to increase the database clarity: EQ2i wikipedian stats. --Kodia 15:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Boggle No, I had not seen that before. Most of it I cannot make sense of, but that 4 digit number is falsely impressive: many of my edits are small copy-and-paste.  If I were actually altering articles for improvement THEN it would be impressive.  (I must remember this distinction if the spouse again threatens my computer tower with a large hammer.  And be sure that link is only opened when I am home alone.) Janze-Nek ComsCons 15:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Probably a wise idea to keep that link reserved for special occasions. :) As for what the numbers mean, the first column, "Now" is what your editing rank is among all EQ2i editors, as determined by your number of article edits (article edits only, and no others), large or small. The delta (triangle) means how many spots in that ranking you've changed, up or down, in the last 30 days. And while the number may seem falsely impressive, know that even cut-and-paste edits can provide invaluable corrections to the database. There's only so much by way of changes that we can actually use a robot to correct. Your edits are valuable, no matter how small or mindless they may seem.--Kodia 16:21, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Fixing Problem Reports
Hi there. Thanks for fixing the information on Death Chimes that was noted in the problem report. If you happen to see a problem report that needs fixing and you fix it, is there any chance I could convince you to make a comment on the problem report? That helps me and other admins who go through the list of related changes in order know that it was fixed later on without having to search the entire related changes list. Thanks!--Kodia 11:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Icon Tweaks
Janze-Nek, I'm very new to wiki contributions and just curious what edits you were making to the icons I uploaded yesterday. Since I plan to do more uploads, is there anything that I can correct beforehand?Troub-o-rogue 21:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Response by me at User_talk:Troub-o-rogue, btw.--Kodia 12:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

From Smoogley
Was trying to figure out why all my contributions were being edited by you as I am new to this wiki thing. So to save you time, I assume you are mostly just taking all out all non-needed values and the help texts? Smoogley 04:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You seemed to be having a problems, so I went to your Contributions page and checked your recent edits. The links below will take you to the history page of each article so you can see the edits - minor and major - I made:
 * Minor edit of Kaari Eesah - I added the description of her location. The word description is for people who cannot or will not use waypoints supplied by filling in the mapref.
 * Champion Gorlok was missing the same information.
 * Major edit of Lord's Planeswalker Boots - My personal quirks are to add the correct icon to every article I edit, and to (most of the time) remove the template instructions.  Most editors do not do this, and doing either (or both) is far less important than the information on the item itself.  Having relegated those 2 changes to the "minor" bin, the major edits were:
 * adding the flags for "lore no-trade"
 * minorly adding commas to the 4-digit stats
 * handling the blue effects -
 * Damage Per Second has its own code to be added to the template (see Template:EquipInformation for a truly mind-boggling list of blue stats that can be added to the template)
 * Dark Tidings required the use of another line in the template to accurately describe the effect
 * adding "Armor" to the "Plate" under dtype so it sorts the item correctly
 * removed the entry in the "classes" line. The template will auto-fill these if the item has the normal classes; if it is not normal, "classes" must use links and/or special templates (see the edit I made of the "classes" line in Blackened Band of the Voidcaller for an example of the templates used).
 * minorly adding the gamelink (allows grabbing the code so an unheld item can be linked in-game)
 * adding the obtain, found through doing a Preview of the article and using the Link-back feature in the Obtain line
 * Awakened Scaleguard plate helm and Blackened Band of the Voidcaller had similar problems/edits.
 * Other edits:
 * "Rhoandrilliis" was misspelled and so directed to the correct name,.
 * The Spectre Tower image lacked any of the pull-down licenses, therefore it went uncategorized.
 * Champion Gorlok's image not only lacked the license, but was far too large, both in pixel width and file size. I tagged in the license and uploaded a smaller image.
 * This talk page: moved your posting to the bottom and added a headline for it. The easiest way to add a talkpage message is to use the "New Message" tab at the top of the talkpage.
 * This is a wiki - if I see something wrong I can fix it myself. Getting on your talk page and leaving you this list of changes/errors might discourage you from editing, which is the last thing that I want.  I am sorry I left you wondering as to what exactly was going on. Janze-Nek ComsCons 13:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
