Berserker Lord edit help
Hi, I noticed you have protected the B lord page so any non-admins can not edit. I request that you could make an edit for me, its not reverting one of Dazuro's changes though. Here is the trivia section:

The Berserker Lord's battle music is a remix of the music heard when battling Arachnus-X from Metroid Fusion.[2] During the boss fight with Gandrayda, she will sometimes transform into a Berserker Lord. They have a large Phazite crystal on their back as well as two smaller ones within their claws.

Please remove the second bullet point because it is a Knight and not a Lord that Ganny morphs into.

Also it is a Phazite pod not a crystal. There are crystals within the creature's claws however.

If any of this could be done whenever, that would be great. Of course, you protected the page for your reasons, and I don't mind at all if you refuse. Anyway, in responce to what the guy was saying, I think that there was a good reason for everyone voting for you as admin. I think we are certainly better off now than before.

later. Hellkaiserryo12 22:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. Shame you can't even use the talk page... If you want to interject there, feel free, just don't put too much effort into the crazy part of it, if you feel the need to. The last thing we need is to get everyone sidetracked in something irrelevant. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 22:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sure. You'll fix that, but you won't correct anything else that I point out. I don't appreciate this bias against me. Just because I find you to be a horribly incompetent admin doesn't make my edits any less factual, and to this day, my edit is STILL the only one to the Berserker Lord page that isn't biased toward one side or the other. You continue claiming it to be a disputed issue--if that's so, say so in the article, or allow someone else to. Additionally, I notice that the concept art is labeled "Phazon Berzerker Pirate" [sic]. We mention other beta/concept names for things, so I feel this deserves to be mentioned. I'd love to add it, but oh wait, you won't get your mitts off the page's protection long enough to let anyone else make any constructive edits. If you won't come to your senses about that, would you at LEAST add the trivia? Dazuro 22:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think you understand. Your claim is the one that is disputed. Maybe you are familliar with the saying, "The burden of proof lies in the extraordinary claim," or one of its variants? This means that when you profess a source from an annonymous user on YouTube (which borders on original research), you are required to give evidence that this person is real. I am not obligated to disprove the claim. This is called skepticism, and keeps us honest.


 * I think you know who is at fault for the general user not being able to edit the page. The admins before me would have likely blocked you for less than I would. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 22:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, let me get this straight. You misappropriate a quote to back up something the game makes quite clear is not true. I point out that not only is the quote irrelevant, but also that supposedly an employee has directly said otherwise. I correct the page to say "hey, it probably isn't, but some people say it is"--which is 100% true in every way. You protect the page, give me a slap on the wrist, and then force the page to say "by the way it IS him despite the game and an employee saying its not".

Yes, I know who's at fault. Your own goddamned ego. You're too afraid to admit that after all this, I was right, so you're holding on to increasingly thin strings here.

I'm sorry, Dan. I know it's not always easy to be proven wrong by someone who A) is far below you on the chain of command and B) has humiliated you in front of your subjects by repeatedly calling you on your bullshit.

But the fact remains. I am right. You are wrong. Get over it. Unblock the damn page, apologize for your transgressions, and this can all be over. Wouldn't it be nice to return this wiki to the peaceful place it was before you started stepping all over my shit? I'd sure like that.

But hey, if you insist, I can continue proving you wrong and laughing as you pretend not to comprehend my logic. It's all good. I'll (perhaps stupidly) trust that you're going to correct your mistake, though. In that case, I'll take my leave of your page and the Berserker's. Au revoir for now, though I'm sure we'll butt heads again next time I fix an error. I'll be looking forward to it. Dazuro 22:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope he isn't offending you, but he reminds me of some sort of diabolical villan planning assaults on you, his nemesis.


 * "Wouldn't it be nice to return this wiki to the peaceful place it was before you started stepping all over my shit? I'd sure like that." - because at the moment Wikitroid is caught up in a chaotic battle between good and evil. But who is good and who is evil?!


 * "Au revoir for now, though I'm sure we'll butt heads again next time I fix an error. I'll be looking forward to it." - Sounds like he is saying: "You may have won this time, but I'll be back. And the next time we meet, you won't be so lucky!"


 * I am very sorry if my words are out of place here, but I often seem to poke fun at serious matters. Hellkaiserryo12 17:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks man, I'm glad someone interpretted that line the same way I had. No worries about over-stepping here. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 17:33, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Spread the Word
Hey, Chozoboy, do you think you and the other admins could start spreading the word on the other user pages or on the news about the voting going on the Talk:Samus Aran page? I really want to get more votes on there so I know decisively which picture everybody wants. User:Tuckerscreator 21:59 30 April 2009


 * How exactly do you want to do that? ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 05:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm not entirely sure, to be honest, but probably on the users' talk pages would be best. I know we can't expect to write that on every user's talk page so I suggest that we start off with the featured users, because they've been on this wiki for a long time and we know we can trust them. Then hopefully, they'll start spreading the word to others and we'll be able to get a large amount of people voting so that there will be a greater chance of the winning picture being unanimous, because I'd hate to put up a image as the main one that most people hate but it won only because four people voted total. Does this sound like a good plan? User:Tuckerscreator 17:24 01 May 2009

Certainly, go ahead. Glad to see you thought it through. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 00:31, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

You're going to help me spread the word, right? Since you are often logged on well before I am, if we both work together, we'll be able to accomplish this faster. User:Tuckerscreator 17:35 01 May 2009


 * Yeah, I'll see what I can do. Got some Psych stuff I've got to take care of tonight/four new lizards I just got/all of those new edits to patrol, but why don't you try hitting some message boards about this? It'd increase traffic, but just avoid sounding like you are soliciting. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 00:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Four fast little lizards, eh? Don't you mean FastLizard4? Ha ha. I've never been to the message boards, I think. Can you help me find them? User:Tuckerscreator 17:49 01 May 2009


 * Haha, the long-tailed grass lizard and anole are pretty fast, but the leopard geckos aren't.


 * Our message boards aren't going to bring in any activity, but maybe some others like MdB, IGN, M2K, etc. General Metroid/Nintendo forums would work. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 00:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, geckos are funny. People hype so much about the fact that they can stick to walls, but that's because that's all they ever do. They never move. Ever. Eventually you get so bored of them, you begin deliberately pulling off their tails because you want to see it grow back. I'd like a chameleon. Jackson's chameleon.

Right now, I'm just going through all the featured users pages, but since you are an admin, and proably know where to find more users, I'll need your help in rounding up all the other users who aren't on the list. Could you do this, please? I'd really appreciate it. User:Tuckerscreator 18:06 April 2009

Doesn't help that this type are nocturnal. Oh well, got them and the cages for free. Even came with thermometer/hygrometers. You came up with more users than I can recall. Really, I can't think of another. Great job. I'll see what I can do in a bit. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 01:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

On a related subject, Chozoboy, since I'm working on the sweep right now, what do you think the Samus Aran page needs the most? Currently, what I'm doing so far is clearing out any clutter such as "However, Samus is the female variant of Seamus, so it is possible to figure it out previously." and putting them in a section where they would be more appropiate, such as in a "Behind the Scenes: Concept and Creation" section. I'm also looking at expanding the backstory on each of the games. For example, the article only has a brief blurb on Metroid Zero Mission and doesn't even talk about how she was shot down and had to regain her Power Suit. I'm also going to add more images, as this article has only five, I think, on my last count, not counting the gallery. Eventually, I hope to start sweeping the other main articles too, such as Ridley and Mother Brain. But do you think the Samus Aran page needs the most right now? User:Tuckerscreator 19:24 01 May 2009

Last time I got a good look at her page, it had a big wall of text that needed segmenting and images to help break up the shape. Maybe we should have a history page for her like the Pirates? I recall that it was missing the Manga's story and a lot of other plot elements. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 04:05, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that, I feel, is the biggest problem: that the page is far too solid and needs to become more segmented. I don't think anyone who looks at the page now will actually feel like reading it; it looks too boring because it is solely pure text. So I'm paying special attention to that.

One section of the page I'll need your help on specifically is Samus's biography as given in the 2002 manga. I haven't read the manga for a while now, but I'll appreciate it if you could write Samus's life from the end of Chapter 2 and henceforth, except for the beginning of Zero Mission, as I already have that part covered. It will really take a lot of trouble of my hands, as I know you are far more respectful and well knowledged in the manga than I am. User:Tuckerscreator 21:49 01 May 2009

Sure thing, but big contributions from me may have to wait a bit. I've got a big paper due the 18th. In the meantime, I can certainly review anything that you write up. Why don't you read the manga as you draft it? You could even skip the sections that don't involve Samus to speed it up. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 05:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll try but I'm unsure as to how well I'll write that section. I'm better at explaining the in-game info and behind the scenes sections. You know how I feel about the manga, I probably won't do it justice. I'll try but I feel you should at least take a role in editing it when I'm done, if you don't want to write it. User:Tuckerscreator 11:46 01 May 2009

I'd love to write it, I just can't for about 2 weeks. You know what? I think we should do more of those history articles. Have one from the Pirate perspective, Samus, Chozo, GF, etc. Anything with a complex canon that spans multiple source materials ought to have one. Maybe even Zebes or Phazon, but they'd all need to be cited out the ass. The fact that they would be well documented would be a big draw for anyone looking to understand the canon. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 21:00, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

That is a great idea. I'm looking at doing that as soon as I finish Samus's page. Another thing I think the pages need is specific for the Creatures pages: a phiosology section that details the creatures appearance, behavior, and other biological matters. User:Tuckerscreator 4:03 01 May 2009

RE: Bot Question
Yes, AutoWikiBrowser has a build in category replace function (you'd build a "target list" on pages in the category to be renamed, then give the command "category replace" in one of the program's tabs, then use the appropriate edit summary and click 'start'. If you turn on bot mode, it will do it's job completely automatically, otherwise it will allow you to check each edit (the recommended and safer mode).  Being an administrator, you can download the program and use it, although you should really read the manual (provided on Wikipedia, linked to above).  Also, you need to be running Windows, have the latest version of Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer 8 was pushed via Windows Update last night) as well as the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.  And, no, you don't need approval to run the bot on Wikipedia (since you are a sysop here).  If you want, I can even set you up with a bot account on my wiki where you can run test cases with AWB. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 08:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

IRC RC Feed
Here's something you might find useful: I just finished testing the IRC-RC feed for Wikitroid. Since I set you up with an IRC client, you should just be able to click here to see the feed. It instantaneously relays every edit made to Wikitroid to the channel, making it rather useful for patrolling, especially for administrators. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 01:35, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that seems pretty useful, but I'd lost the file for accessing the chat when my computer was reformatted. What was the one you'd recommended for IE again? ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 01:48, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The one I recommended for you was mIRC (I lost the URL, but a Google search should find it). Or, if you want the quick-and-dirty method, just click here.  -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 01:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Omega Cannon
When you host the game you can change the damage level under advanced settings.

You can use: low/normal/high for damage.

on low the omega cannon does 150 damage, on normal 200(above max health) and on high 250(above max health also).

Also here is my metroid prime hunters website if you want to check it out:

Ryanfireball 21:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

If everything is officail then why do you use fanmade sprites for the MPH weapons? Ryanfireball 21:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I made it inuniverse-style and will fix the other ones. Ryanfireball 21:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

We are always in the process of removing all fanon, still. Earlier today I fixed the "Metroid Queen" name to "Queen Metroid", as evidenced on the talk page. It is my understanding that those sprites are not fanmade and are seen on the lower screen, but if you are sure then double check in your copy of the game and let us know on a talk page! ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 21:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

While the symbol is the same, the effects and jittering are fanmade, the sprites are idol(they don't move) and transperent.

Ryanfireball 22:00, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I play this game all the time(100% also), I am positive that those sprites are not used. Ryanfireball 22:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Dark ridley is adding fanon Ryanfireball 18:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd suggest discussing that with him on the talk page for the article or his. Wikis are constructive processes and you can work together without asking for an admin to step in. ~User:ChozoBoy

sitenotice
Hi, I'm Scott from Wikia Entertainment. I wanted to let your community know about a giveaway on Terminator Wiki to win tickets to a screening of the new Terminator movie. If it's okay with you, I'd like to put a link in your sitenotice to help bring it some attention. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! 05:14, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Great, thanks! —Scott ( talk ) 05:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Categories
I've thought that it might make more sense to add those categories in intervals rather than as I do the pages, as that'll require a lot more checking and time. I wrote a program to compile a list of what pages need what categories from the rooms that link to them; just saying I won't be doing it as I go along, but rather every now and then. And the categories I'm adding are the ones you intended, right? Green pickle


 * Hey, so based on [ this], what you said about rooms doesn't apply to creatures? They get both the planet and area categories?  Green  pickle


 * Yeah, if we did rooms that way then Category:Tallon IV would get very cluttered. Giving that category to creatures robots, materials, etc. helps to keep a good reference of what is one which planet. Users looking for a particular room are more likely to look by sector rather than name, anyway. If not, that is what Category:Rooms is for. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 19:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Right, okay. I guess that makes sense.  Green  pickle

Thank you for the help
Thanks for editting the Hunter License page. Sorry, if I made a hassle from creating the page. DragonTetra

Nah, we needed it. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 18:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Spacetime Beam
Ok. Next time, please remember to indicate the reason for the deletion when you delete the page, otherwise there's no way to determine whether or not your action was correct. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 19:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Besides, in any case, a redirect would be more appropriate for this kind of thing. -- FastLizard4 {ADMIN} (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 19:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

MPH Overhaul
Is it okay with you if I expand a lot of the Metroid Prime Hunters related articles on this site? I am noticing several of them that are really short in details, namely articles dealing with specific areas. I am just asking if I am allowed to do such a thing to be on safe side. DragonTetra

Sure thing. What did you have in mind? If you are going to do something big (like rooms), a discussion about the format of them is always a good idea so that everyone can put their minds together to make sure all of the info would be looked for and added the first time and not on unnecessary second trips, if you know what I mean. Additionally, if you are going to add info like what you did for Sylux, why not go ahead and do all the rest of the hunters? ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 22:37, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

What I had in mind is something similar to what I did to the Ice Hive page. I want to edit the areas so that they include as much detail as possible while not going into fanon. I think it's a good idea to do discussion; however, I know plenty about Metroid Prime Hunters as I have played it for over 1,200 hours. I could edit in the information on my own, but your the admin, so if you want to have discussions on format I won't argue about it. I just want to see my favorite Metroid game get all of its info on this site, that's all. I'll do what I did with the Sylux page for the other hunters too. DragonTetra

The reason I suggest it is because users will sometimes do something like this and then leave out some detail while gathering the information (like connecting rooms or something), then they or another user has to go through again to get that detail. That's why it is best to do a list of things to be looking for (the format) and ask if anyone can think of anything else, you know? ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 18:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

How do you Join the Ranks
Just out of wondering, how do you become a featured user? User:Tuckerscreator 12:38 17 May 2009


 * I have no idea, honestly. Editing a lot? ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 23:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the nomination
I just wanted to say thanks for nominating me. By the way, does my request for access go in the site notice box? Oh and one other thing. I noticed when you edit talk pages you edit the headings, and then create a new one below. It has the effect of looking like you are editing an old talk page heading on the recent changes, instead of making a new one. Hellkaiserryo12 20:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll ask FL to put it in. I looked at it, but didn't want to do something screwy on accident. Yeah, I think I understand that second part... Just part of how it works, I guess. ChozoBoy [ADMIN] (Talk/Contribs) 23:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
