User talk:Omega9999

Thanks are in Order!!

Hi there, Omega!! I just wanted to take a minute and really say, "Thanks, for the stuff you do!"

We were just talking this morning over coffee, and we were saying that you've been doing a lot of editing lately and how noticeable it is. We appreciate what you do. You've been around the Greyhawk community for years now, especially on Canonfire, and I don't think that we've ever really taken time to talk all that much, or anything. But, we (as GreyhawkOnline) want to fix that! :D

First, I don't know if you do text-chat, or anything like that, but, we'd love it if you came by the GHO Discord server where GreyTalk has kind of migrated to by default … we want to give you a custom "role" tag that would identify you specifically as someone who has helped write the Wiki! It's really just a way to show the community -and you!- that we love you for what you do!

Second, we'd love it if you'd like to fill out your User page some, because we want to give you a "Top Contributor" logo on it!

Thanks again, for the consistent, quality volunteer editing you've been doing on the Great Library of Greyhawk wiki!

Thank you Icarus

Thanks for the badge, I really appreciate it, I really do! I've been around the community for about 10 years now I believe (gosh, I'm so old). I'm kind of a strange duck when it comes to Greyhawk. I'm italian and it has basically never been actually published here, if not for a bunch of modules in 3rd edition era. Thanks to my understanding of English and my lack of money when I was a teenager, i had to find a setting that was cheap to DM. So I started with buying 3rd edition Gazeteer (the 32-ish pages one, not even the LGG). And then i fell in love with the setting. It's the perfect framework for a fantasy campaign, without hundrends of books to read (I'm watching you, Realms) and I could study it while actually mastering it.

Thanks again and thanks for the badge!

Welcome . . .

to the Great Library of Greyhawk. Be sure to check out the Writing Guidelines. Feel free to post any questions you may have on my talk page.--Robbastard 10:07, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Your recent edits

Thanks for your contributions. However, I have reverted some of them, and/or altered them. The general practice on this wiki is that for NPCs, including deities, the corresponding symbol is only used in the infobox if a depiction of the subject itself is not available. Also, the standard width of these infobox images should be 200 px. Thanks again--if you have any questions, please post them on my talk page.--Robbastard 10:07, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Ooook!

Ok all right! No problem! ^^

Galleries

Hi! I moved a couple of the images you had in the Zagyg and Trithereon articles. Generally speaking, it's best to forego a gallery section for a single image and instead try to place the image within the article, ideally in a related section (such as placing the holy symbol image under "worshipers"). See the Vecna and Warduke articles (which also have gallery sections) for an example. Thanks for your edits!--Robbastard 11:35, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Answer

Ok, I understand! I will add other images in a couple of days ^^

Update

Hi! We've made a few changes since your last period of activity. The preferred size for most infobox images is now 250 px wide, except for source/module images (200 px) and heraldic devices for realm articles (100 px). We've also added a category for images, so it would be helpful if you could add "Category:Images|file name" in double brackets to future images you upload. Thanks!--Robbastard 19:56, 19 November 2009 (EST)

Answer

Ok, I understand, so I will follow the new guidelines for the images!

• Your Warnes, Bigby, and Alhamazad images are only 200 px wide--the preferred size for character infobox images is 250 px wide. Do you think you could change them, please? Also, don't forget to sign your posts--use four [1] (~). Thanks!--Robbastard 11:45, 28 November 2009 (EST)

Concerning Images

No Problem for that, i'm going to fix them soon, by the way, I have to post the pics of the others Circle of Eight's Mebmbers as 591 CY

Edit summary

Don't forget to use the edit summary--this gives other editors a brief synopsis of the changes made without having to wade through the history of every article. Thanks!--Robbastard 20:31, 8 September 2010 (EDT)

Image

The new image you uploaded for Kiaransali is only 154 px wide. The preferred size for most infobox images is 250 px wide.--Robbastard 15:17, 15 December 2010 (EST)

Recent edits

When uploading images, don't forget to add the image category & add text explaining what the image depicts, the source it's from, & the artist, if known. Also, don't forget to use the edit summary.--Robbastard 21:29, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Edit summary

I see you're still not using the edit summary. It's the narrow field right above the "save page" button, with "Summary:" to the left of it. As stated above, this gives other editors a brief synopsis of the changes made without having to wade through the history of every article.--Thanks,--Robbastard 22:28, 8 February 2012 (EST)

Recent edit

I reverted your recent edit, because it was the same image, and the only difference was size, so I'm not sure what the point was.--Robbastard (talk) 18:54, 19 March 2015 (EDT)
