Can someone PLEASE tell me how to make a game? I am confused on how to make one.

--Skate1168 17:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Instructions are on one of the buttons at the top here. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 16:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

That helps a little bit.

--Skate1168 16:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to make an award? I do not know how.

--Skate1168 18:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

See UN:STAR for the use of Ninjastar awards. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 16:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Uh, this page does not have the text you use to show off the award though.

--Skate1168 16:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Thankfully User Simsilikesims reviewed my Amulet of Yendor article and told me it needed to be more funny. I agree, but does anyone have any good jokes for my article. If you do, post them here!

Thanks in advance! :D

--Skate1168 15:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to Nominate an article to be featured on the main page? I do not know how.

--Skate1168 15:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

To nominate an article for feature, go to VFH (Votes for Highlight) and enter the article's title in the box there. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 16:03, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I did, but there is something about these for and against numbers, what do those mean?

--Skate1168 16:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I think it is apparent that i am a noob, so I should be nominated for noob of the month, because I don't know squat.

--Skate1168 17:32, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Just passing by. Just so you know, you will get many people angry if you review their article with one line of comment in each part. Look at a few reviews Mnbvcxz does and do what he does. Also, the noob of the month isn't for the guy who doesn't know things the most, but for the new guy who is making a big effort. If you want to get nominated and more importantly, voted for, do a few GOOD reviews, write a few quality articles, and maybe get a feature. Good luck bud! ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 21:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi there Skate1168, just to add to Tagstit's comment there: first of all, thanks for taking the time to review some articles for us. We always appreciate users who take the time to try and help others ,and giving your time to review their articles is one of the best ways you can do that. However, if you are going to do this, perhaps you'd consider spending more time on one helpful review, rather than churning out several with one line per box and no useful feedback? Take a look at the pee review guidelines, and some reviews by the likes of Tagstit up there, or Mnbvcxz, as he mentioned - they give a lot of feedback so that writers know what to work on about their article. If you do any more reviews, you might want to give that some thought.

Also, I added a drive-by comment on one of your reviews - this is not to dismiss your opinion of the article as wrong (humour being a subjective business and all), but when my opinion differs so drastically from the one given, I sometimes feel the need to mention it so the author is aware of the different points of view - how they choose to interpret that is up to them! Anyway, in conclusion, if you want to help out, great, welcome aboard - but try for a little more quality over quantity next time, huh? Thanks, and see you around! --UU - natter 22:14, Feb 2

Apoligies

User Tagstit told me that I might get people mad if I wrote bad reviews. I did. ;( So, this section is to say sorry to all of the people who needed in-depth reviews which I screwed up. You can insult my reviews in this section if you want. ;(

The Mars Volta Review

Hey. First of all, thanks for reviewing my article! Typically, I have to wait forever. My article on Gravity's Rainbow has been sitting there for weeks. I nominated it for VFH (even though it's not very good) just to draw attention to it so someone would flippin' review the damn thing. It was booted the first day, and no one has reviewed it yet. *sighs*

Anyhoo, you said that the images had nothing to do with the article, which isn't entirely true. The first two are TMV related, the third is a map of Mexico (i.e. the band's Latin roots/style), the fourth is a louse (their first album is called De-Loused in the Comatorium), and the last two were album covers.

I mean, I'm not at all questioning the score you gave me or anything so petty, I just didn't want you to think I'm the type of guy to put random-ass pictures that haven't the slightest bit to do with anything in their articles (I hate it when people do that). So yeah.

Again, thanks for the (really speedy) review. Rock on, dude.

--Guildensternenstein 05:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I did not know the other images were reated

--Skate1168 13:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Your Gravitron's Rainbow Article has been Reviewed!

I ma a nice person, so I reviewed your other article that was requesting review. It was a very good article, in fact, I enjoyed reading it too! I also reviewed your Tom Brady article as well! :D

--Skate1168 15:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Voting Articles to VFH

Greetings! First of all, thank you for the review of Amy Rose, I'm glad you liked the article! Secondly, if you need help on how to vote something featuring, check out the VFH and read the guidelines. It's all there. :) - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 06:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! :D

--Skate1168 13:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Peeing Info

Thanks for the info guys! :D I am sorry that I suck at reviewing peoples articles. ;(

--Skate1168 23:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

You don't suck, you just are good at writing reviews that suck. Try seeing if you can write good LONG reviews. A little motivation is that you get urinals if you do enough. If your a girl they are pretty useless but otherwise they are fantastic! A gold one for 25 a platinum one for 50 and a diamond one for 75. The list can be checked by going to Pee Review, clicking, Reviewed articles, then clicking the link that says "here" at the end of the paragraph of text at the top. Good luck! ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 23:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. ;)

--Skate1168 01:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, if you like reviews, I want to further help you and not just encourage you, because the review list is WAY too long and we could use another peeing member. Also, if you are a noob, it is a great way to see what is considered good and crap on this site. Are you interested in the fame glory and power that frequent reviewing entails? ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, I am.

--Skate1168 01:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I just wrote two reviews, one for SysRq and one for Orian. Both EXCELLENT writers. I would suggest you look at my comments and see what I recommend. Next try writing your first in depth article. You can do it for the one I recently wrote for Why:Be Emo?. I promise I won't be mad at your review and will respect your opinion. I will also critique your critiquing. ;) ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Wow, thanks a lot! :D

--Skate1168 01:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Ya no problem, tell me when you are done and I will take a look. ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I will, but I am still reading your reviews so it might be a while, LOL. I am a slow reader! :D

--Skate1168 01:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Thats a good quality! Make sure you get everything. The article I wrote is supposed to be read very slowly and moppy keep in mind. So slow reading is good for my article! ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Tagstit, I saw your flashing template on Orian57's article, I remember trying to make it once, but it failed. Do you know how to make it?

--Skate1168 01:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that is a template I made myself. If you look at a few others, each active viewer has one to tell everyone that 1) he is reviewing at the moment and 2) no one else take this one. To make your own, I suggest just copying and pasting mine into a sandbox, for example User:Skate1168/Pee Template and change the text and picture and mess with the colors till you find something you like. ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! :D

--Skate1168 01:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Now get reviewing! ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 01:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing, one last thing though, how come your username looks like that and mine looks like a normal link?

--Skate1168 01:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, right it is called a signiture. I can't really explain it too well, try asking UU or SysRq. Sorry dude ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 02:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: sigs - Look here for details on how to make 'em. Don't make 'em too big. And if you're not sure how to format a good one, do what most of us do - find one you like the look of, edit the page it's on to find where it's saved (Tagstit's one is here, for instance), go to that page, edit it, steal the code, tweak it until you like it, and voila! --UU - natter 09:14, Feb 3

Thank you (again!) for the info! :D

--Skate1168 15:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I made a cool signature which you can find here! Thanks for telling me how to make one UU! I also made some cool templates which you can find here!

--Skate1168 (Talk) 16:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of signature, what are the colors you can use for text, backgrounds, and borders? I know there is dodgerblue, lawngreen, and some of the basic colors.

--Skate1168 (Talk) 17:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

[1] There is a list of colors there. Hope that helps. Btw, how is the reviewing comin? ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 18:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I have not gotten to it yet, the only reason I got that message out is because I posted it during my lunch hour (which thankfully I just started, so I can get this reply out).

--Skate1168 (Talk) 18:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Alright, no rush, just checkin up ;) ~SirTagstit • VFH • NotM • PEEING • CPT • RotM • BFF 19:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for not rushing me! :)

--Skate1168 (Talk) 21:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh!, also, you might want to check your User and Talk Pages somewhat soon. :)

--Skate1168 (Talk) 21:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok Tagstit use these links to check your talk and user pages. There is something nice on them! :D

--Skate1168 (Talk) 21:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Tagstit, we have a problem!

I finally got to reviewing your article, but it you look at it, you will see that none of the stuff is in a table! It is like the Pee review table is not working! Please help if you are online!

--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Next time, don't use all those nowikis, and if you use it, remember that you put "<nowiki>" in front of something, and "</nowiki>" behind it, notice the / in that last one, it's very important. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh no, I saw that, then I tried putting my sig so it would show that I reviewed it, and now the table won't appear at all. Sorry :# ;(

--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:35, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I had already added your signature. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

What you did wrong was removing the "|Signature=" part. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

When I looked at it, it showed your sig. Now it shows mine. Thanks (again!) :D

--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

It may have showed my sig for several seconds, but I quickly replaced it with yours. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I guess I should have just left it like that! Sorry! I am just glad it is fixed now!

--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I think we can all be glad about that. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 00:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

By the way, Tagstit, you can see the review now. I hope it is "in depth!"

--Skate1168 (Talk) 00:50, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Cheers

I looked for a second opinion and got one =) Thanks. Glad you appreciated in and I'll definitely take a look at the spelling. Its been nominated on VFH by someone else so if ya feel like it go give it your vote ;) Cheers --kit 15:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Gald I could help. :)

--Skate1168 16:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

--Skate1168 (Talk) 01:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

An UnTunes Question

Is it okay to put songs on UnTunes that are not necessarily yours but are good? --Skate1168 (Talk) 17:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

We generally don't mind if you steal images from some website, but songs are another deal. We like our articles original, i.e. not just copied from someplace else (more exactly, articles are required to be original). Parody is allowed, but it needs to be substantially different from your source material. Since the song is the main content of an UnTune, it needs to be original. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 19:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

However, SysRq makes a valid argument. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 19:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, just check out this discussion though. --Skate1168 (Talk) 22:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Um

You just voted on a VFP nomination that was closed ages ago... —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 18:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

ROT13

The following message has been encoded into ROT13:

BZT! V whfg yrnearq nobhg gur EBG13 ynathntr! Vg vf fb pbby! Lbh fubhyq purpx vg bhg! Hfr gur yvax orybj! --Skate1168 (Talk) 18:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

EBG13 Rapbqre

C.F. Gb rapbqr grkg vagb EBG26, rapbqr vg gjvpr :)

I learned a little more about ROT13:

ROT13 encrytion replaces each English letter with the one 13 places forward or back along the alphabet, so that "The butler did it!" becomes "Gur ohgyre qvq vg!" Most Usenet news reading and posting programs include a rot13 feature. It is used to enclose the text in a sealed wrapper that the reader must choose to open - e.g. for posting things that might offend some readers, or spoilers. A major advantage of rot13 over rot(N) for other N is that it is self-inverse, so the same code can be used for encoding and decoding.

You can also another encoder at rot13.com

OR

You can do it by hand, i.e. A=N B=O C=P and so on. --Skate1168 (Talk) 22:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
