I thought you'd be interested in seeing this, so I'll flip you the link too. Your opinion is quite important on this matter, so please don't hesitate. :)

RE: Capitalizing
I was under the impression that proper nouns should be capitalised. A switch is not a proper noun. The Hamdrax is. If you guys are using a non-standard standard, it should be written somewhere. I sort of just figured most people don't know how to pipe properly so in general they tend to overcompensate by capitalising every link they add. Overall I don't really get what you're getting at. Sort of just telling me how to do what I was already doing. 22:13, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am aware that this cannot be found in the policy, but a Manual of Style is being sorted out at our Testing Wiki that does mention capitalization. You can view the (unfinished) manual here. If you'd like to reform the current accepted capitalization method, I'd suggest starting a poll or discussion of some sort.


 * In the meantime, what I'm telling you to do is leave links to items and NPCs alone. For example, you lowercased Glowsticks in this edit. It's not yet clear if we'll be capitalizing abstract links, so I'd actually recommend not changing capitalization in links at all (yet).


 * o i c
 * I would propose things be capitalised based on the English language with proper nouns capitalised, objects lowercased. I mean there's an entire standard already built around when to capitalise, why make another one? In fact, there are two, one designed for wikis. For the record on your style, the creator didn't name glowsticks glowsticks. They are just glowsticks. It's only capitalised in game as a title no different than it would be capitalised in an infobox. I'll post this there, too. 22:35, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Nice Mod!
Hey, your mod is really awesome!! Only one thing, why doesn't this mod work with the rebron mod? It would be awsome to have both mods at the same time :). I would really apreciate if you could reply to this. Thanks in advance!

 * If you're talking about the Obsidian Mod, it was created by Obsidian54 . As for your compatibility problem, the Reborn Mod v1.3 installer installs tConfig 0.22.5, which the Obsidian Mod is not compatible with. To resolve this, you should do the following:


 * 1) Download tConfig 0.23.3 here . Install. Leave the option "Create a desktop icon for the ModPack Builder" checked.
 * 2) If you haven't already, download Obsidian Mod v0.99.4c here . Install.
 * 3) If you haven't already, download Reborn Mod v1.3 here . Do not install.
 * 4) Move the Reborn Source Files folder to My Games\Terraria\ModPacks in your Documents folder.
 * Now, run the "ModPack Builder" shortcut on your desktop. Press the number that corresponds to Reborn Source Files.
 * You should now be able to turn on the Obsidian and Reborn mods in tConfig Settings and run them together. If you have any more problems, let me know.

Nomination?
Hey, I wanted to nominate you for bureaucrat, as you've done quite well as an admin and I trust you with the rights given your handling of the bot etc. Just checking that you agree with being nominated before I put it up. — Mathmagician talk ♥ blog 18:54, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'd be honored to serve as bureaucrat. It means a lot that you'd consider me for the position.

color
hey dzylon, for some reason my color dissapeared, can you put it back please, but this time make it pink :D Twistedmetalero 23:49, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've fixed your color. It looks like your account name changed from Twistedmetaleor to Twistedmetalero (o and r at the end switched), and that's why it wasn't working. To see the change, you need to either wait a day or two, or go to your profile and purge your cache (press CTRL-F5 to purge) to see the updated page.


 * I didn't change the color. The current hilite system identifies users by the rights they possess, it's not meant for personal use (i.e. "I think color ____ is cool, so I want my name to be color ____). If you'd like to change the color, please ask the other chat mods (Koggeh and LumpZ) if they agree to changing the chat mod color.


 * Thanks for getting to that, Math. Twisted: I would like to point out that if you and the chatmods do decide to pick a new color, it shouldn't be too similar to any of the following: #2E8B57, #66aaff , #ff8800 , #A400A4 , #FF7777 , or #DDAA00 , as these are all colors used by other user groups.

Resume tips
I've been re-working my resume lately and thought I'd share this blog I came across with you. It has some great tips for how you can potentially put your experience on Wikia to use on your resume. You should bookmark it =)


 * Nice find, I've always wondered if Wikia contributions could somehow be translated to "volunteer work". Perhaps I could find a place for this info on my college application as well.

Regarding the Statues Template edits...
Ok, I'm not sure what just happened. I just got a lot of picture "credits" in a SHORT space of time, and that confused me. I'll conduct a couple more test edits to see how that plays out, but we'll see how that shows up.

Nice little public congrats!
Well, I wanted to be first. :D Congratulations on becoming a bureaucrat, Dzy! We all know you'll do a very good job of it, so don't sweat it. (I also sorta wanted to show off my new sig, lol.)


 * Congrats, man. Best guy for the "job," as far as I can tell. I'm quite confident you'll do just fine as bureaucrat.


 * Thanks to both of you, and everyone else that participated. :) I'll do my best to handle these responsibilities appropriately.

Brainwave.

Comment cleanup process
Hey, how's the process for the deletion of abusive comments going? Just wondering if you were done or if the process was still ongoing. My personal opinion is that bots should not permanently have admin rights, so I was hoping that when you are done with tasks that require your bot to have admin rights, that you would remove them. I would prefer for safety that you only grant your bot admin rights on an as-needed basis.


 * As of now, including sub-comments, the bot has deleted somewhere over 1,250 pages (determined by looking at the log). The thing is, due to my weak computer, the bot process will occasionally freeze/crash, making me need to reset the filter and allow the bot to re-scan the tens of thousands of pages it had already gone through. I'm currently waiting on an updated database dump, which should help some. It is worth noting that, unless hacked, the bot can't cause much damage (given its semi-automated nature).


 * The other reason is that, if your bot has admin rights all the time, it's less clear when and how you're using those rights. If you only add the rights on an as-needed basis, transparency is somewhat increased. I certainly understand the low likelyhood of the bot causing any harm -- but my opinion (and it's really just an opinion, others may think differently) remains the same.


 * I find the idea of my misusing the bot preposterous, but you can feel free to remove the bot's rights at any time. Alternatively, you can contact me and I can remove them.
