Commendations

Nice work on those Petpet shop articles recently :¬). --Macbeth 01:51, 2 Jan 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. Though I thought I would mention something as it isn't being done: You should wiki link every Petpet listed even if it doesn't have an article yet. This will allow the article to be created in the future, or allow editors to see that it must be created. --Jacob 05:39, 6 Jan 2008 (UTC)

Petpet Colors

Hey, I've noticed you're doing the petpet stuff... good job! Just thought I would let you know about a google doc I've made that has the dates of color releases through 2005 if you are interested in adding them to what you do. It's linked from my Talk page, I think. I'm hoping to finish it before I start school again in the Fall. --Cath 20:24, 3 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Redundant?

Something I noticed when you were creating the articles for Starry and other such articles for colours. You're mentioning that the morphing potions in the list are a particular colour and that they are morphing potions. Instead of the whole name, you could simply list the Neopet name, because we know it's a list of Neopets which can be morphed by potions, and that it's the particular colour to whatever the article is about. --Jacob 16:22, 22 Jun 2008 (CDT)

Edit summary

Just a reminder to write an edit summary for every article...or as many as you can. Sure, may seem tedious...and probably is...but helps us know what it is you are editing in every article. And there are a lot. Whoa. :o --Jacob 00:42, 24 Jun 2008 (CDT)

I need a replacement...or something

I'm finally making it officially and stating that I won't be here for awhile, and will need someone to take the lead...or something. Go to the talk page of the community portal to see what I'm talking about. --Jacob 08:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Could you take a look at the conversation and make sure nothing relevant has been forgotten?--Demon 17:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Well done!

I'd just like to say a big well done on all the work you've put in on Petpet colours. Have a muffin, you're a star.

Battledome Quotes

First of all, thanks so much for those templates you've created. It makes the pages all the more organized. ^_^

Second, I totally agree that getting the quotes from some characters (e.g. Kanrik) is futile; but some of them, like the Pant Devil, are pretty easy to obtain. My question is will BD quotes be permanently removed for all opponents to keep the articles consistent or do I forsee a template for them in the future? I thought I'd ask before starting to help with the updating. xP --Dizzy 19:01, 30 November 2010 (CST)

I was planning on getting rid of ALL the battledome quotes. Aside from being difficult to get for retired/war opponents, the quotes really clutter up articles, and, in all honesty, they really aren't really that interesting. I mean, half of the quotes are just screams or grunts! -Emerald Osprey 19:19, 30 November 2010 (CST)

The quote thing is something I've been ruminating on, too. I would think for regular one player challengers they're all right, but not for war challengers (where, as you say, its impossible to verify). --Macbeth 19:21, 30 November 2010 (CST)

Yeah, I see what you mean. Ravenous Monster's quotes are pretty much just typical monster noises and actions. I'm down with whichever path is taken: delete them all or delete just the war opponents' quotes. --Dizzy 19:43, 30 November 2010 (CST)

Advent Calendar

Heya, nice work on separating the advent calender prizes.

I noticed the tables have the word "wikitable" in them - did you mean to set class="wikitable" in each of them? --Macbeth 14:26, 1 December 2010 (CST)

No actually. That's just a copy and paste error. I'll go fix that. (Wonder how many places I've done that...) - Emerald Osprey 18:01, 1 December 2010 (CST)

Oh, okay. Also, what do you think about putting item images in with the advent calender listing? --Macbeth 19:50, 1 December 2010 (CST)

BTY

Hey there, I was wondering where you found all these old better than you entries - did you keep a note of them yourself? I can't find a past-challengers section on the better than you page. --Macbeth 15:50, 8 December 2010 (CST)

Macbeth, there isn't a past challengers page for Better Than You. Every time that TNT puts up a new challenger, the information for the previous challenger is lost forever. That's one of the reasons that I've been diligently adding the BTY information each week right after the challenger is released.

The information that I've been adding to the wiki about past challengers comes from various fansites, including this personal blog. I've cross-referenced as much of this information as I can with the new features archive. For example, using the new features archive, I can prove that Uncle Tharg was the challenger on July 1, 2010 and that he played Ugga Smash. However, the new features page does not record the score or prize for that week. I'm trusting the author's of the aforementioned fansites to have accurately recorded this info for me. I think that this is no different than trusting fansites to accurately record the statistics for past war opponents in the Battledome. - Emerald Osprey 16:51, 8 December 2010 (CST)
