Good News
In order to help you with your boss affinity quest, and by request, I have created the CharstatGBA! (The "start" is here and you just have to add a -GBA to the "Charstat/end" that is already there.) If there are any problems, feel free to let me know.--Otherarrow 08:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm honored! Much appreciated.--Aivass Remurias 01:45, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

As a note my name is Semajdraehs (my first name reversed and then my last name reversed, my real name being James Sheard). Not Samadrej. Either way i'm sure both I and Otherarrow will be willing to answer any of your questions if you need help with wiki suff.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  16:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm truly sorry about that. I admit I was careless in misspelling your User name. Thanks for the heads up and for offering help. See you around!--Aivass Remurias 01:45, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Red Links On The Tellius Page
Okay, I understand why you left those red links on the Tellius page. It makes sense. I'm just not used to how other Wikis are almost totally different. On another Wiki I'm on, they greatly dislike red links and always try to remove them. And on another Wiki, they expect you to report vandals most of the time. I can't exactly remember all that you said on my talk page, but if you want, you can leave those red links on the Tellius page.--Black Dragon Laguz 11:41, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, no, it's alright. It's no problem. I just wanted to give a reason why. I mean, if we eliminated all red links from the wiki, we wouldn't know what the wanted pages would be. I'll leave them unlinked for now because there were a lot of them on one page. What I'll do is put the red links for the pages I want to create for Tellius on my User Page to remind me to come back to them later.--Aivass Remurias 16:01, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Only Admins Can Delete Duplicate Photos
i'm on that task now (Y).-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  22:28, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

appears otherarrow already got round to it...only admins can delete files so leaving a note on mine or otherarrows talk page or adding the tag should do the trick.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my  Talk page  22:34, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Stub Pages
please add to the bottom of the page, instead of just putting it in the stub category, that way it leaves the little ''this is a stub... e.t.c'' message.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  11:40, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. I will strive to do as you ask. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.--Aivass Remurias 11:43, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate Images
Some of the images you've just uploaded we already have, you make sure this doesn't happen by quickly checking the pages such an image might be on first.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  16:47, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * My bad, thanks for fixing that. I will do make sure to check more thoroughly from now on.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

i'd try using the categories to have a quick browse through, or/and check the pages related to the image. Ideally you should only be uploading a picture when you already have at least one page to add it too, so this should really come as a natural step. I understand that its hard for new-ish comers to know when there making duplicates, but i've been on the wiki since we had only about 100ish pages so i usually recognise a duplicate, just give a little browse of the pages related and that should get rid of any obvious duplicates and me and otherarrow will take care of it if any others slip through the net.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  22:02, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good tip. Thanks.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Wow!
You are doing a great job by adding those articles!--Black Dragon Laguz 21:38, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! We just had way too many Wanted Pages!--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

How?
How, did you do that by accident?--&#123;&#123;Bowserclass}}&#123;&#123;Userwikidragon}} &#91;Vote for maria in article of the month&#93; 10:07, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I've Just Altered Needquote So It Applies To All Pages Instead
Rather than create one for chapter, characters and misc pages. I don't know why I specialised it for characters in the first place if i'm honest...-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  11:29, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * That was a good idea there. Thanks for helping with that.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

"If They Want To Do So"
If they felt like doing so they'd add it themselves, and ALOT more pages needed more than a blank external link addition, and those pages are still lacking, because people don't want to do so, and if you put that there it looks bad on the wiki,for it's own members aren't contributing for the sake of informations,but instead of when they feel like it, So that's why I deleted it because no one feels like it at the moment, and so that why It will stay gone until some one feels like it, and when the do they will put it there.--&#123;&#123;Bowserclass}}&#123;&#123;Userwikidragon}} &#91;Vote for maria in article of the month&#93; 12:17, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...So I think this is what you are basically saying...
 * 1. Members edit when they want to [do so]


 * Me: Okay, yes...and?


 * 2. It looks bad on the wiki


 * Me: Really? Adding partial content that will be useful in the future is bad for the wiki? As for looks, I'd say it looks fine. If you were to say the look disagrees with your personal ideal of what a page should look like, yeah, I'd certainly agree on that. lol


 * 3. I deleted it because no one feels like [editing] it at the moment


 * Me: Wow, if that's how this wiki works, and I am in no way saying it does, then how do we have all the info we have? Look, it's because everything up to this point wasn't added chunk-wise all at once. It was added piece by piece with everyone contributing what part they know. An attitude that closely embraces such an idea is acting in the best interest of the wiki, because that's how the idea for wikis came about.
 * ...So do you think we both understand each other now? I don't think I missed anything.--Aivass Remurias 22:51, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Great Editing!
Thanks! Yes, they've changed the site layout and it took me a little while to adapt to it. But I'm finally used to it now.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  23:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer Monobook, myself.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu
Have you ever played Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu? I haven't, but it sounds like a fun game. If you have ever played it before, I would like to know if you like it or not.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  01:59, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have, but it was quite a long time ago. I did like it, but keep in mind it was from the Shouzou Kaga era, therefore much more involved and intricate than what most Western audiences seem to like. I recommend reading up about it before you go through the trouble of getting a chance to play it.--Aivass Remurias 15:43, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. But now, I've been thinking about maybe playing a different Fire Emblem someday: Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  06:11, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now that...is an extremely awesome game. Hard as cement, though. I'll put it this way: you'll have a greater appreciation for the Skill stat after beating it. *Shivers
 * There are ROMs of that game floating around on the net, however it was never released in English so you'll need to patch a fan translation to the ROM. As for how and where to do all this, I plead the 5th.--Aivass Remurias 06:24, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Okay. Well, what Fire Emblem game that has not been released outside of Japan is the easiest in your opinion?-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  02:59, January 15, 2011 (UTC) Also, I should probably mention that I'm thinking about maybe playing an FE game that isn't insanely difficult or insanely easy.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  03:02, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm...well given those constraints, and given my subjective opinion, I'd reckon you might want to try either Sacred Stones or Blazing Sword. Relative to each other, I'd say Sacred Stones is the "easier" of the two, while Blazing Sword is a bit "harder" but more rewarding I thought. That's just me. Note that I'm quite biased in this regard (I really like FE GBA graphics and the GUI designs they use). Also a great way to boost one's FE knowledge base, to boot.--Aivass Remurias 03:36, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Cool. I will have to get those as ROMs for my DSi, though, because I don't have a GBA.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  18:10, January 15, 2011 (UTC) So is Blazing Sword the Fire Emblem that was released in the US as "Fire Emblem"? Is it the one with Lyn, Hector, and Eliwood?-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  19:03, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mmhmm, yes. --Aivass Remurias 19:05, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Okay.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  21:05, January 15, 2011 (UTC) I got Blazing Sword as a ROM and a GBA emulator for my computer, but for some reason, I haven't been able to get past "New Game". I might look for a Sacred Stones ROM instead.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  17:59, January 22, 2011 (UTC) Actually, I've got it to work now and it is really good. Thanks for suggesting it! It's probably going to be my most favorite Fire Emblem.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  23:08, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Boss Pages
I'm sorry to say this, as I appriciate the help, I really do, but when posting pages for boss characters, don't just paste stats and a clean up template and except someone else to know what to do. In their current stat, the pages are near worthless to use, since we have stats, but nothing to put the stats to. Who are these people, what game are they from, what chapter do they appear in, do they have portraits, are they major characters, are they one off characters, are they alternate forms of other characters, what? Next time, at least include a "X is from Tear Ring Saga" and a character template with it. Very bare bones, but better than nothing.--Otherarrow 19:58, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * ...I see. What I would have done would have been, instead of just outright blanking the pages, moving that useful raw data to each page's talk page so I could refer to it later (and add the info in a proper way).
 * I'm kind of surprised at these turn of events, and just a bit hurt. I will take ownership of my actions and proceed in the way you ask, albeit less enthusiastically.
 * Words are one thing but actions are quite another. Not sure about how this was handled but I kind of faintly see your reasons for this course of action. I want to apologize if I upset you. Since you cannot hear my voice, please know I am sincere about doing things the right way. I humbly ask for your partnership and understanding in this.--Aivass Remurias 20:16, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

I apologize as well, my actions may have been a tad too rash and extreme. I ment no offense by this, and as I mention, I really appreciate the effort. (and I like enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is good. I am sorry if I permanently hurt that) But, well, the TRS articles aren't exactly popular (to understate it a bit), and at least one protester has complained about the poor quality of the articles "polluting the wiki". Having a lot of boss articles just stats pasted from another source won't exactly help people accept them into the Wiki anytime soon. I want these people to accept them as part of the Wiki, as I feel it is apart of Fire Emblem history, even if one that is divergent from the "main" franchise. If you need any help, such as you don't know how a template works, or are unsure about how to handle a character's class or anything like that, feel free to ask me.--Otherarrow 20:32, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah! You are indeed a gentleman and a scholar! Your words have brightened not only my outlook but my evening as well. I thank you. Say no more. You are indeed in the right. Every single one of the 18 pages that do not exist anymore shall arise in a proper manner, the manner that was described to me. Of that, you have my word. =)--Aivass Remurias 02:49, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

That Link
I didn't think there was a way to view Fire Emblem Wiki with MonoBook, until I saw that link on your page. I like MonoBook more than the new skin for this wiki.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  06:04, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know, right? =) Wishing I had a fancy Userbox so I could spread the love! I love that you like it! XD --Aivass Remurias 06:07, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm using Monobook right now, in fact. Haha, well, that would be really cool. I actually used to use that other one..."Monaco" I think it was called, which I thought was the best skin on wikia, but I don't think that one can be used anymore.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  03:16, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Aha. Yes, I just prefer Monobook, that's all. But I'm biased, see? The new skin has it's uses, too. However, I don't know anything about a "Monaco" skin right now. --Aivass Remurias 03:25, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

The new skin does have some uses, but it just isn't that good compared to Monobook. Before this new skin came out, I was using a skin that was like a combination of Monobook and the new skin. Part of the background was unique for different wikis (like the new skin) and it had a navigation thing on the left, kind of like Monobook, but it was more like a bar, rather then different boxes like "toolbox" and "content navigation".-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  04:27, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Fire Emblem Game Stuff
I've played Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Both of them are now my most favorite Fire Emblems. So, I am wondering; what other Fire Emblems have difficulty around those FE games I mentioned before?-- Black  Dragon   Laguz  23:29, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you as quick as I'd like. However, I'm not sure what to say in response. All the FE games are on this wikia, so maybe you could try a few you haven't considered before. That, or you could try setting the difficulty higher on the games you already have, try getting all the songs and/or support conversations, take different paths through the games, try for special endings, etc. I really want to recommend FE6, as it's excellent for someone who is hungry for a bit of a challenge and is a fan of FE7.--Aivass Remurias 01:45, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

Offer
Dude could you please turn Corpul's page back to normal?
 * Looks like an edit war is here. Since I don't know exactly what version "normal" is, I don't want to abuse what has been graciously given to me. I would humbly ask to remain neutral, but I would ask Otherarrow to help you in this case. I don't want to unwittingly fuel the flame.--Aivass Remurias 22:46, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Holy War Weapon Ranks
It seems that weapon ranks in this game only change as the class changes or through Holy Blood (minor gives A, major gives *, to the Crusader's preferred weapon, if I recall correctly). Bosses without Holy Blood should have the same weapon ranks as anyone else of that class.--Otherarrow 16:27, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping me complete those. I wasn't able to find that info. I think the problem was (and continues to be) that I didn't know the character's preferred weapon and/or didn't know the weapon ranks of others in the same class.--Aivass Remurias 22:24, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Rollbacking
I see you're trying to figure out how to rollback (revert edits). It appears as an additional function when you're looking at edit history; it appears on the right.--Thenewguy34 21:23, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that much I knew already. It was more of a test of how it affects pages, not learning how to perform a Rollback itself.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

I'll Chip In If I Can
what exactly am I supposed to do though, its been a long time since i've touched anything to do with charstat templates, and I wans't even that good at them then-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  04:22, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Working on it as we speak.--Aivass Remurias 04:27, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Okay well i'm working from the bottom up, so we should meet somewhere south of the middle. :)-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  04:40, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ha! Well said.--Aivass Remurias 04:55, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm? Are you sure Semaj jumping in is OK? You put Engweimin and I on hold until you got finished with your session. Should I tell Engweimin that it is OK for him to continue?--Otherarrow 04:44, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's fine. Honestly, I love that so many editors want to help. Everyone jump on in! I'm still going to go through all the character pages to check them, so by all means let's do this. =)--Aivass Remurias 04:50, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Okay up from the bottom until Lana has been done (with a little help from otherarrow along the way). I don't how to do Lanas on so I'm thinking this is a good time for a break, I might pop back online in an hour or so and help again if you guys are still plowing away, although it looks like things'll be done soon anyway.-- Semaj draehs - any replies to my Talk page  06:01, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your help. Thanks!--Aivass Remurias 06:03, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the hard work you have put into improving the Seisen pages thus far. (Apologies for the late reply; I was studying earlier on, so I wasn't too sure as to what you were attempting to do with Lana's page then). When I find the time to, I will try my best to continue expanding the pages with images, language fixes and statistics inputting as well. --Engweimin 15:47, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, I can understand the studying! You are doing a great job with those pages!--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Please
Please do not edit old messages, like you did in the forum. Please avoid doing such in the future.--Thenewguy34 23:47, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * I had a good reason to do so, and had you actually seen the edit, you would understand.--Aivass Remurias 00:10, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I did. Please don't do it in the future.--Thenewguy34 00:19, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Then you are mistaken in telling me that. I mean no offense, but as someone who has not been here that long (less than 3 months), you might benefit from looking at edits before telling someone not to do something.--Aivass Remurias 00:26, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

List of Seisen no Keifu Music
hey Aivass Remurias thank`s if you were the one that made the song list page i started look like the other it`s still incomplete though so if it`s ok can you add on to it here and there?because im not able to do it for today so thank`s there is still alot of song`s to add im writeing them down right now.--76.250.231.108 00:57, April 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Looks like someone already got around to it--Aivass Remurias 01:58, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Gaiden Portraits
Heads up: Like FE1, Gaiden reuses a lot of it's boss portraits. For example, Michael and Judah have the same portrait, despite Judah being a major villain and Michael being a one off boss. Slayer's portrait reappears a lot too. Also, do you want me to delete Michael's and replace it with the Judah image we have or is it fine the way it is now?--Otherarrow 00:37, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Otherarrow! Thanks for the heads-up. Yes, I was completely aware of what you're saying. My thing is that even if two characters share the same portraits, they should definitely have different file names. I have a better Judah image (without background that I will upload shortly, so if you could be on the lookout for the delete tag on the one we have, that'd be great.--Aivass Remurias 01:39, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. Of course, you could do what the FE1 boss portrait did and upload one file with a ambiguous filename and use it on multiple pages. Of course, whatever works for you will be fine with me.--Otherarrow 01:42, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm...I never thought of that. I would hesitate to follow that method, though, because it's kind of nice to be able to identify all the images if, say, one was looking at them on a category page, and not have to check what article is using it, if that makes sense.--Aivass Remurias 01:58, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh and I just checked on this: Judah's robe is more pink, while Michael's is more of a purple, but I knew what you meant. Uploading now.--Aivass Remurias 02:02, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

There is a difference? Huh. Very slight, but it is there. Thanks.--Otherarrow 02:11, April 29, 2012 (UTC) The Wiki is saying that while Judah and Michael/Garcia are different, Michael and Garcia are the same file. I recommend only keeping one of those, maybe renaming the file to something else?--Otherarrow 02:27, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I did notice that. For reasons stated above I went through with it. However, I will most certainly defer to your judgement on this matter, if that's okay.--Aivass Remurias 02:29, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I went ahead and renamed Michael's portrait to the more vague "exorcist" and replaced Garcia's with it, if that is OK. But if you don't get that warning again, go ahead and upload the file. It might be a minor difference thing like Judah.--Otherarrow 02:34, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. And yes, I have noticed the system is pretty good at detecting duplicates, it's great. You know, that kind of piqued my curiousity, though...if two images are the same, but have different file names (and we know that it is two different characters sharing a portrait)...is that bad? Sure, the wikia tells you, but...might it be better to have that than resort to using a generic name for both? Eh, I guess right now it's minor, but I'll keep this in mind.--Aivass Remurias 02:42, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I'd rather have one image at one file name just for efficiency, but that's just me. I guess it's a matter of personal taste?--Otherarrow 02:45, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think you're right.--Aivass Remurias 02:48, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks For The Message
Hi there, thank you very much for the heartwarming message; It was very much appreciated! I get by edit conflict issues by copying (Cmd+C) all the text within the editing box before clicking on the Submit button. In any case, thanks for the tip; I shall use it when editing in the future.--Engweimin 11:29, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, actually, I don't know what I was thinking back there...that's what I do too, but for some reason I involved MS Notepad in that process when I described it to you. Strange. Sorry about that. And you're welcome! Encouraging you is the least I can do. Having you around makes things a whole lot easier. You are very much valued here in my opinion. Thanks again.--Aivass Remurias 01:39, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Conflicting Edits
I've noticed that you've been complaining about me. If you have a problem with one of my edits, just tell me. I find feedback more useful than not saying anything at all, leaving, or leading a personal attack against me (though the second is discouraged by wikipedia, admins have the right to violate this rule, though it's rather biased to do so). As with the edits, I'm not sure what to tell you. We could have different ways of editing things, or our points of view on editing could be different. However, I always get in these arguments: you're no exception. If you want to know more, there's some more information I told Otherarrow on my here.--Thenewguy34 23:12, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * You consider me asking for advice on handling the situation sensitively and respectfully a personal attack? That's laughable, and exactly why confronting you about it initially would've been a bad idea. I have done absolutely nothing remotely wrong here, so citing wikipedia rules and regulations almost has me laughing over here. As far as the edits, you may not be sure what to say, but I sure do: if you edit something incorrectly, we will correct it. That's it. I have things to do (both in real life and here), and getting into disputes like this is not one of them. I come here to edit and improve the knowledge base. Finally, if you "always get in these arguments" like you claim, well, what does that tell you? I've been here 3 years and this is the first time I've had any issue like this come up.--Aivass Remurias 22:50, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

About Moving Pages
I don't exactly agree with you moving the Wolf page, but I get your reasoning, so I won't do anything about it. The reason I am here is, well, when you move a page, you have to go back and change the links in every page that linked to the moved page. I'll be honest, and I am sorry if this just sounds like bitching or whining or me being lazy, but I am tired of having to correct all the links every time someone else moves a page, because they didn't think to do so and just moved the page and did nothing else on the matter. If that makes sense.--Otherarrow 15:25, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I'm aware of that. I'm actually intending to correct all those links once they appear on the full disambiguation list, so no worries.--Aivass Remurias 15:27, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, I usually do that with all the pages I move.--Aivass Remurias 15:30, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. Sorry for my whining and my lack of faith. My mistake. I changed the link on the navigation templates, so it should be easier to find the links once the Wiki notices that I changed the templates (which can take from a few hours to a day or so. Guh. My least favorite part about moving pages)--Otherarrow 15:31, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand and I'm glad you mentioned it. Also, thanks for changing the navigation templates. That's usually a first step for me, as it can eliminate 80% of the work right away.--Aivass Remurias 15:34, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, "Sol" on the new Skill Navigation Template should probably be changed to "Sol (skill)".--Aivass Remurias 15:37, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Dark Warlord's Kakusei Stats
hey thanks for fixing the skill links in my first edits i'm new to this but I saw empty things with like 2 done so I decidied to help thx and i'll rembember next time.
 * No problem at all. Thanks for adding those stats!--Aivass Remurias 18:23, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks For The Tip
Hello Aivass Remurias i got your message thanks for the tip!I`m slowly getting better at this editing stuff but not quite.I`m glad i have somone else to turn to for help i think somtimes Otherarrow get`s tired of having to help me all the time,but i try my best up here.look`s like there are nice people up here after all who try to help.you,Otherarrow and Engweimin have my thanks and gratitude thank you all for trying to help me.let`s all work toghether to make this wiki a great place.--Naglfar94 01:10, May 13, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * No problem at all, I'll be more than happy to assist you when whenever I'm able to do so. Like I said, a lot of this editing stuff is just seeing how everything works on an already established page (that's the key), then just copy and pasting what you need, replacing the old values with new ones. For most every other case, try and observe how other users do things or look back on edits they may have corrected for you. That's really the easiest and fastest way to improve and will save you a great deal of time and hassle. I am appreciative and inspired by your positive attitude to improve the wiki. Looks to me like you just need to work a little on your punctuation and you'll be fine. We are all equals here, so please let me know if I can help you out.--Aivass Remurias 01:33, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Aivass Remurias i got your other Editing tip i tried it but i don`t think i did it right.so i just clicked edit section this method is not right is it...--76.250.231.108 17:51, May 13, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * I'm not sure what you mean. I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. You are getting better.--Aivass Remurias 22:37, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Weapons List Problem
hey Aivass Remurias what`s up with the weapons from kakusei? it`s like somone went and started the pages and then put nothing up at all.so i am filling them in i already did Roy`s toughsword,Eirika`s swiftsword and Eliwood`s steelsword that leavs two more blank pages to fill.--Naglfar94 22:02, May 13, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * I think we were waiting for more information from Kakusei to be released. If you're talking about the content of the pages, Thenewguy34 likes to go to the Wanted Pages, start a page with very little useful information with a Stub tag, and we have to go back in and add to it. I've tried to get him to stop. Either way, thanks for adding those pages.--Aivass Remurias 22:37, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Your welcome Aivass Remurias now atleast thoes pages exist.oh yeah i already know about the stub pages from Thenewguy34 i saw the complaint debate on the talk pages.--Naglfar94 04:26, May 15, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94

Help
Hi Aivass Remurias I need help I don`t know how to get that Charstat,Chargrowth template thing to look right. how do you name the sections of it?and how do you create it?I was trying to edit yodels page from monshou no nazo to add his stats and when I previewd the page the charstat thing took up the whole page and it had the wrong sections in it like Con,so I just stopped the edit as I probably would have gotten in alot of trouble if I did that.--Naglfar94 06:02, May 21, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * At this point, I think the simplest way to go about it would be to go to another FE3 character page and copy/paste the Charstat Template and the Chargrowth Template (at least for Yodel's case), then fill in the new values for the numbers and percentages. That way, you don't need to create it. You don't actually name the individual sections of the Charstat or Chargrowth, because the Template does that for you. It's hard to know what the problem is without seeing what you're seeing, so this method should work. If you need additional help, I would ask Otherarrow. Of course, I'll still be here if you need assistance. It's just that this week is going to be a bit busier for me than usual.--Aivass Remurias 01:56, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you I will try that.--Naglfar94 02:13, May 22, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94

FE4 Star Icon
Yes, it is from the actual game; I personally ripped it from the game itself.--Engweimin 07:11, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok! I was just wondering. Thanks!--Aivass Remurias 01:56, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Finally Figured It Out
Hi Aivass Remurias, thank`s for telling me that copy paste thing for the stat`s template thing I figured out how to do it and I`m going to start useing it often when it come`s to stat`s editing thank you very much.Naglfar94 05:16, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Oh, no problem. Glad to assist. Be careful, though. I'd highly suggest taking a look at the changes I made to your new pages, Black Knight (Seisen no Keifu) and True Dragonstone. They needed a bit of help, and seeing what needed fixing can be helpful for future edits.--Aivass Remurias 05:32, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

ok. but I am truthfully alittle worried about that black knight page though I think it will be gone in a few hours. also I need your help I want to add a photo to Cuan and Ethlin`s page but the problem is I can`t tell who the other two caracter`s are in it.I`m guessing maybe young Eltshan and Siglud? is it ok if you take a look please? it will be with the other photo`s I won`t put it up on a page yet thank you for helping me.Naglfar94 05:42, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Yes, I've seen that CG before. I have a couple of ideas about that image, but you should definitely ask Aveyn Knight about all four of those characters, just to be certain. Aveyn Knight runs Serenesforest.net and is very knowledgeable about everything Fire Emblem.--Aivass Remurias 06:25, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

What's Going On?
hey Aivass Remurias what is going on with that unregistered user? I wonder why somone would do somthing like that vandilism on a wiki that`s not good well I have to go now I`m just curious at what`s going on.--Naglfar94 06:12, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Vandalism happens quite often. The best thing to do is undo the edit, put Vandalism in the Edit Summary, and report the IP address(es) to an Admin right away, especially if it's intentional, repeated vandalism like that.--Aivass Remurias 06:25, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

ah I see. I left a message on the guy`s talk page to try and get him to stop.I see he`s giving King marth 64 problem`s too everything was just fine intil this unknown user came.--Naglfar94 06:31, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Don't bother wasting time trying to talk to deliberate, unregistered users who engage in vandalism. They will just edit, delete, or ignore your messages and it doesn't help anything. Just report them to an Admin. I already did, though.--Aivass Remurias 06:36, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

yeah I can clearly see that he just put C: on my talk page and he wrote somthing on his talk page under my message I give up I think Otherarrow will solve the problem.--Naglfar94 06:54, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Yes, please do. I don't want to dwell on it anymore than I need to. Attempting to talk usually just encourages more disruptions.--Aivass Remurias 07:00, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

yeah you are right well I will be leaving soon I think this little episode was enough excitement for me I had plan`s to edit other stuff but that`s out of the window now I will have to do that stuff later on now.well goodnight.--Naglfar94 07:15, May 28, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Well, when I said "I don't want to dwell on it", I was partly talking about this entire thread, which I thought should have ended six messages ago. I'm terribly sorry if that sounded rather blunt, as I'm not trying to be unfriendly. It's just that I don't like to encourage the vandals by having a big discussion about it when I don't really have to. Don't take it personally, though. You're not to blame. Let's just end it right here.--Aivass Remurias 07:32, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

oh no that`s fine you were not unfriendly at all I get what your saying I`m just glad it`s over.--Naglfar94 08:34, May 29, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Ok, see you around.--Aivass Remurias 18:59, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

Fast Question
Hi Aivass Remurias it`s been awhile since we spoke. anyhow I have a question I wanted to know if you knew of any pages that really needed help really bad because one by one lot`s and lot`s of page`s are getting complete! but I have been trying to add missing weapon icon`s now and I also started quotes.--Naglfar94 04:16, June 16, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * I can't really think of any right now. However, I noticed your user page is usuing a duplicate image that will probably be deleted soon. I fixed it, though.--Aivass Remurias 06:17, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

oh that`s fine Aivass Remurias but the image of Fala on my user page will stay right? or do I have to change it?--Naglfar94 06:02, June 16, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * It will stay, you don't have to do anything. I already fixed it so it links to the image we already had.--Aivass Remurias 06:17, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

thank you for fixing it!--Naglfar94 06:34, June 16, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94

Cropped Character Images
Some of the single character images are cropped due to the fact that in the original scans themselves, other characters happen to be standing in front of them, or that certain parts of their clothing overlap that of the character in question. I have tried to utilize the Clone tool on Photoshop as best I could, but the result usually turned out to be highly unsatisfactory and slipshod. Y'see, I'm not exactly an expert on the intricacies of Photoshop...

I'll be sure to look through the unused files when I have the time to do so.--Engweimin 02:50, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem at all, and yes, I was aware of the reason for the cropped images. I just wanted to check with you and see what your plans were for them. As for the Unused Files, no rush. We are in much better shape with those than we were even a few months ago, and considering all the Kakusei activity, that's not half bad.--Aivass Remurias 03:48, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

List
I did my best to answer your list. Sorry if I came off as a bit crabby. It really caught me off guard.--Otherarrow 04:56, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, no problem. We're good. Thanks for your help. I just now left a response on your talk page, actually.--Aivass Remurias 05:20, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Name on Template?
Explain that a bit better to me please. You threw me off when I was creating the demo.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 10:24, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, no problem. Some weapons have the same icons but different names (or the same name but different icons). It's more of a fix for the first case. As far as the width for "Name", it can always be expanded if something doesn't end up fitting in the future.--Aivass Remurias 10:30, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, the first template is done! It covers everything from FE6 to FE10 (Not FE11, we need to create separate rules for that due to FE11's similarities to FE12, and FE12 does not possess a weight formula). An example can be seen on Durandal.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 10:49, June 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Here's a visual that makes all this a bit easier to understand.

FE1:     Name      Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses Wlv Worth     Effect(s) FE2:     Name      Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng                    Effect(s) FE3: Icon Name     Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses Wlv Worth     Effect(s) FE4: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit    Wt Rng Uses     Worth     Effect(s) FE5: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth     Effect(s) FE6: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth     Effect(s) FE7: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth WEx Effect(s) FE8: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth WEx Effect(s) FE9: Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth WEx Effect(s) FE10:Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth WEx Effect(s) FE11:Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt Wt Rng Uses    Worth WEx Effect(s) FE12:Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt   Rng Uses     Worth WEx Effect(s) FE13:Icon Name Rank Mt Hit Crt   Rng Uses     Worth WEx Effect(s)


 * As you can see, FE7-FE11 are exactly the same, so it totally makes sense to include them in your template. Ideally, there will be:
 * An FE1&3 Template (exactly the same except for Icon)
 * An FE2 Template
 * An FE4 Template
 * An FE5&6 Template (exactly the same)
 * An FE7-11 Template (exactly the same)
 * An FE12-13 Template (exactly the same)
 * Note that the individual stats aren't in the proper order as they should be in the Templates (I like the way you have yours), I just lined them up so you can see the patterns more clearly.--Aivass Remurias 11:40, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Don't forget TearRing Saga!--Thenewguy34( Other ) 12:57, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good call! Thanks for reminding me! =) Check your Talk Page, I left a message there.--Aivass Remurias 13:01, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Template:WeaponStatFE4
Can you create the how-to-use table? It's very late and I have to get off. (P.S. Geesh, I can't believe people are still waiting for Shin Monshou no Nazo; it's already been 2 years since Japanese release, and they're still reverting my edits about it being unlikely. If you're still here, can you please watch this page for me in case someone reverts it?) --Thenewguy34( Other ) 00:33, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just for FE4, right? Sure, not a problem, I understand. As for the FE12, I'll keep on eye on it, no worries. Thanks for your help.--Aivass Remurias 00:37, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

I think that I remembered that FE8 3DS Virtual Console for the Ambassador Program did announced after Kakusei announced and released before Kakusei got released was like December 2011. And I did saw couple of other things was Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure (14th) was released after Minish Cap (15th) in Europe and Wario Land 4 for the 3DS Virtual Console Ambassador Program did release after Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 for the Game Boy Virtual Console for Europe and US and I did saw the Kid Icrasus Game Boy Virtual Console game did release before Uprising released in Japan and Europe and is going to release after for US. I wasn't too sure about this, I found that out that was after Kakusei announced the release date for Europe. 01:41, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * King Marth 64, I'm a bit confused. What was all that about? I don't remember ever talking about that with you, let alone having anything to do with what you are saying. Thanks for the observation, I guess?--Aivass Remurias 22:47, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Class Stats
Most of the class pages don't have stats actually. I think it was only recently that people started adding maximum stats, but bases aren't around yet. While I do say we need those stats, I'd rather we make a template for it instead of reusing the character stats one. Just looks...kinda sloppy to me. Sorry for any trouble.--Otherarrow 04:58, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * No trouble at all, I agree with you on that. I'd rather put that project aside until the WeaponStat Templates are done, anyway. We actually already have a very nice ClassStat Template (only valid for FE4, though).--Aivass Remurias 00:08, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Question
In FE4, some weapons have Holy Blood requirements (like the Tyrhung). Should we include that to Template:WeaponStatFE4, and mark those without the requirement with "none"?--Thenewguy34( Other) 20:08, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since only a handful of weapons have that limitation, I'd just list it with the effects. Unless you really want to have it the other way of course.--Otherarrow 20:30, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree with Otherarrow's idea. That's why the Weapon Rank is there. It's only a slight issue with the Holy Weapons that share weapon types (the 3 Swords and the 2 Lances). That's it, just those, and they can be easily fixed by just adding "Vylon and Siglud only", "Eltshan and Aless only", etc. to the effects column or below the template with an asterisk.--Aivass Remurias 00:08, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Start?
Can you please start adding the weapon templates to the weapon pages? Thanks.--Thenewguy34( Other) 22:28, June 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I won't be able to get to many of them today. I saw the WeaponStat for FE12-13 that you just made. It should be ready to use now. I guess I'll start there.--Aivass Remurias 22:47, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Staff Pages
Should we create separate templates for staff pages, since staves are a bit different from other weaponry?--Thenewguy34( Other) 10:47, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, for things like HP replenished or HP cost, the Effect(s) column can be used. For Location (saw some of that on the Physic page), that can just be put as a note outside the template. I don't think they are different enough to make a Staff Template for almost every game.--Aivass Remurias 13:12, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Note
I am going to be out all of next week, so I cannot update the weapon articles all of next week. If you can, I ask that you can pick up where I left off on updating the articles.--Thenewguy34( Other) 19:40, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will do what I can. Have a nice break.--Aivass Remurias 19:42, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

A Question About Yesterday
hi Aivass Remurias I wanted to ask you can I please please put the edit back up that I did yesterday? for Akaneia and Jugdral. the info I got is true really the two are close toghether I would not put it there if it was not true...really..--Naglfar94 21:58, June 29, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Could you show me your source for this? Also, you were saying that two locations were both southeast of each other. That can't happen. Think about it.--Aivass Remurias 03:50, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

wait...you want me to tell you where I got the info from?--Naglfar94 22:11, June 30, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94

ok ok I`m sorry I will tell you where I got the info from I did not want to tell you becuase I thought you might think thoese places are silly to get info from. I saw it the first time in a summary about FE4 on Ebay and recently I saw the same stuff on the Gaming Wiki that`s where I got it from and if I`m not mistaken some other site but I forgot. Can I please..please put the stuff back up? just tell me if it`s ok or not but yeah I found it in thoese spot`s I`m telling the truth.--Naglfar94 01:58, July 2, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * Based on what you just said, why? I already knew that info was bad, but now you're saying the sources were an Ebay listing, the Gaming Wikia and some other site you forgot? The most current info we have is that everything is connected through the Other World Gate. Let's at least wait until an English release or a reliable source presents itself.--Aivass Remurias 02:03, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

ok.--Naglfar94 02:21, July 2, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * For the record, though, I checked your Gaming Wiki source. While the original article does incorporate most of it's content from the Wikipedia article for FE4, the bit about "Judgral being southeast of Akaneia" was added in by the original author completely on his own. I'm not sure why the author wrote that. While it's true that Akaneia and Jugdral both have the connection with Naga, the details surrounding that are only made known in the developer's notes or by reading Shouzou Kaga's posts on the topic. Even then, there's nothing about one being just southeast of the other (or both, which doesn't make sense anyway). Kakusei provides a more definitive answer, in that they are linked somehow by the Other World Gate.--Aivass Remurias 02:27, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

oh I did not know I thought the info was real I guess I really messed up this time. For now I just won`t use them as a source anymore sorry.--Naglfar94 02:43, July 2, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * No problem, don't worry too much about it. We're good.--Aivass Remurias 02:45, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

I Am Back
But you will need to give me some time to get things sorted out; everything has become a doozy over the last week.--Thenewguy34( Other) 18:51, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, welcome back.--Aivass Remurias 18:59, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

New Look On Pages?
hey Aivass Remurias what`s going on with the weapon and item page`s now? are we going for a new look on all of them? I noticed the stats and stuff are being put into that grey template thing now..I was just wondering as I`m seeing change going on.--Naglfar94 06:50, July 15, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94
 * We are starting to add templates to pages instead of listing the stats. Like what we do with characters (i.e. Fiora or Devdan)--Thenewguy34( Other ) 11:36, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thenewguy34 basically said it all. We have been adding the WeaponStat Templates we created to the Weapon pages, I've been adding the ItemStat I created to Item pages, and Engweimin has been adding the SkillStat that he/she created to the Skill pages (and doing a great job cleaning them up in the process).--Aivass Remurias 18:59, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

I see thank you both for telling me because I was starting to notice pages getting changed so I`m wondering what is going on? it will take me some time to get used to the new looks but I`m assuming the change is for the better right? it does make the pages look a bit neat I guess thanks for telling.--Naglfar94 19:24, July 15, 2012 (UTC)Naglfar94

Soren
Hello, can you clean the page Soren for me? I have stuff to do, so I cannot get to most of it right now. Thanks!--Thenewguy34( Other) 22:47, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Yeah, that was an absolute mess. Among other things, a user had copypasted all of Ike and Soren's support conversations from one of the games. I left a message on the edit summary. We should try not to use death, retreat, or battle quotes for the featured quotes of character articles if they have other dialogue that can be used instead. However, with some characters (minor bosses in FE2, for example), there isn't much choice.--Aivass Remurias 00:13, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Should We?
Do you think we should move Warren to Warren (Monshō no Nazo), since there is a Warren in Hasha no Tsurugi?--Thenewguy34( Other) 15:04, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with moving it. Go ahead. Actually, please do the same with Arcadia. All I ask is that you change the links on all the affected templates. After a day has gone by, I don't mind going back in and fixing all the non-template links.--Aivass Remurias 15:09, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Midia
This article is a huge mess. I have stuff to do; can you please clean it up? Thanks!--Thenewguy34( Other) 22:37, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll look into it.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 18:29, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome!
I'd be glad to help out with what I can. I've been lurking here for quite a long time, but I was always nervous to edit much because I don't have much experience with this sort of thing. But if I see something I think I can help out with, I'll do it! ---DarkHeroRaven (talk) 17:05, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Great work! Thanks! The pages you have made so far are great starts! I think that because there is so much involved with most recent pages you created (Everyone's Room and especially Double), they were daunting tasks, probably why they were still wanted pages up until now. I will try and remember to add more to them, hopefully sometime next week. Again, if I can be of help to you or if you need assistance, let me know and I will do my best to help (although Otherarrow would be better, especially because I expect to be just checking things this week, editing much less than usual).


 * I'm sorry to hear that you felt nervous about editing before. I want to make you feel welcome if I can and have the lines of communication open. I admit, it can be tough around here at times...--Aivass Remurias (talk) 04:16, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Need Class Stat Template Has Been Added
I am not sure if you see this or not, that I just created the new Need Stat template for Class pages and so that we can use the Need Class Stat Template instead of adding the wrong Need Stat Template for Classes, the code was: and I just changed all the Class pages with the Need Character Stat template to the Need Class Stat template, I just letting you know. 23:38, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I definitely did notice. Thanks! That was a much need addition to the FE Wikia! You even made a related category, excellent. I agree with what Otherarrow said about the template's use for now, as I saw his talkpage comments on it. Just curious, what is the "U" in "NeedstatU". I know we couldn't use "C" because that's the template we use for character articles. Maybe we could have "NeedStatCh" for characters and "NeedStatCl" for classes? Something to think about, especially when we can get to a point where not many pages are using them (meaning fewer template redirects that need changing if they are renamed).--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:24, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that we completely rid of putting before each stat? Because I personally think that adding was a convenient reminder to anyone who does not understand it (and this is completely different from the redirect issue, where we had the search engine).--Thenewguy34( Other ) 11:25, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Eventually, yes. It's not really that convienient. If someone doesn't understand what's going on, they probably won't edit the template, anyway. Actually, it's still fairly easy to see what's going on with the column reminder removed. The whole thing kind of outlived it's usefulness (although I can kind of see why it may have been used early on).--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:46, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Weapon Rank Articles
On the rank lists (ie. List of B-rank weapons), can you split the GBA sections? I have stuff to do. I am going to mark List of A-rank weapons and List of S-rank weapons for cleanup, and then I am logging out. List of A-rank weapons is a good manual of style to follow once I finish cleaning it up. Thanks!--Thenewguy34( Other ) 17:41, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see what you mean. I'll do as you ask for the E, D, C, and B lists.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:46, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

FE4 Battle Sprites
Oh, thank you for the appreciation! I think I'll make this my new project. :)--GwenhwyfarRaven (talk) 14:31, September 15, 2012 (UTC)GwenhwyfarRaven
 * You're welcome.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:36, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Twelve Crusaders Image
I saw in the editing history that you would like the numbers added to the featured image of the Twelve Crusaders, so I added them. I also added the names on a separate image just to see what it would look like. Here's the |the image with the numbers and here's the |the image with the names. It's very simple and basic, but I think it's functional. I'd like your suggestions and your opinion regarding which to put on the page. :) Thanks!--GwenhwyfarRaven (talk) 16:38, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow! You are excellent! Thank you! When I wrote that, I had the Eight Legends page in mind. I originally thought that because there are so many (12 instead of 8), and the Crusaders image is differnt than the Eight Legends image, numbers would be a better way to go (less image obstruction, maybe?). On the other hand, the names are also fantastic now that I see them, and it matches how the Eight Legends page was done.
 * Tough decision! I think I'm slightly in favor of the names at this point, maybe if they were just a bit smaller? In the end, I would encourage you to ask Otherarrow (our admin) to make the final call. Make sure you show him what I said about it, though (you can just link to this particular thread on his talkpage along with your message, like this: User talk:Aivass Remurias. Maybe we can leave the image we didn't end up using in the wanted images or the talk page of Twelve Crusaders. Either way, thanks a bunch!
 * I think there is only one other pending image request I have now (see Hector's takpage). Just thought I'd mention it.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:27, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I really like the one with the names, actually. All it needs are letters with a font that cuts out a good portion of the body of each letter (which I'm pretty sure is possible).--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:40, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not replying promptly! I feel awful about it. :( I'm concentrating so hard on this family tree diagram I'm making for the Jugdral series, I totally forgot to refresh this page. Anyway, yeah, the font I used was just Times New Roman in bold, so I should just make it not-bold? Would that do?--GwenhwyfarRaven (talk) 00:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a problem! Don't feel awful...I'm sorry if you felt rushed! =( As for your idea of using unbolded text, I'm sure that will work just fine.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:17, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, try the unbolded Niagara Engraved font (if you are using MS Word). That will ensure that more of the actual image isn't blocked.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:19, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have Niagara font on either MS Word or GIMP, but I googled it and saw what you were aiming for. I don't think I have any font that looks like that, but I think I hit a little closer to the mark this time. This is the image |with Garamond font.--GwenhwyfarRaven (talk) 00:34, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. The full name was Niagara Engraved, actually (I liked it because big portions of the letters were cut out, revealing more of the image behind). The Garamond font you just mentioned is thinner, so I guess that's still better than before. Try that, then. Thanks!--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:38, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I looked for that, but there's nothing like it on my comp. :\ Anyway, I'd make the fonts smaller, but I'm afraid that they won't show up on the smaller version of the image that will be seen on the page. Should we present this to Otherarrow now--GwenhwyfarRaven (talk) 00:43, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right about the letter size. Yes, please go ahead and let Otherarrow know.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:46, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I see no problem with it I guess.--Otherarrow (talk) 00:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Glare
Apologies for leaving the information of this skill increasing the Defense of the enemy unit.

It is, however, redundant to state that Nailah will be unable to attack for the rest of the turn, as usage of this skill essentially counts as an action that will take up a whole turn.

Thanks for the well-wishes, in any case.--Engweimin (talk) 01:01, September 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, no problem. And yes, I understand what you're saying about the attack inability, that makes sense. I left the initial message about this on your talkpage, so I thought you'd respond there. Not to worry, I look at virtually everything that happens at any time in the Recent Changes, escpecially messages between users, so there's no need to think I won't see a response to something I left on another talkpage (since that won't trigger a message alert).--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:50, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Formatting Disagreement
It appears we have a disagreement in terms of formatting. When I first came here, I seldom ever saw "Background" or "Chapter Information". We cannot just use the normal quote template, or what? Do we see "Background" and "Character Information" for character articles, like Rebecca and Haar? Neither of our methods are in any way the superior. I understand the Column stuff a bit, I just missed your response on your talk page for a while. Let us get on the same page here, and compromise.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 23:05, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I left a message on your talk page addressing this and the example you put forth.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:07, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, the quote template was used for awhile, and is still used for most chapters without an opening narration. For chapters that do actually have an opening, the Background heading is used.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:09, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

We still are not in an agreement in the past week or two. But I do have a problem with formatting clean-up: The WeaponStat templates. Shouldn't the end tags all be merged into one, because they are all the same? ( Template:WeaponStatFE5&6/end --> Template:WeaponStat/end ). It is rather redundant to label them differently. --Thenewguy34( Other ) 23:17, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * While I was responding to you, you added your signature to your previous message that you forgot, edit conflicting me, and I lost my whole damn response. LOL! To sum it up: Look at what Fabsu93 has been doing in regards to that. Charstat/end, Chargrowth/end, WeaponStat/end, and SkillStat/end are pretty much the only template endings we need now. No rush, though, as it will take a long time to change all of those, and the extra templates themselves are only 2 characters each, with the name differences not much bigger than that. So while I agree with you, there's no rush. The size differences are about as small as they come.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:28, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

This message here is not exactly the most important response, but you could not hit the back button to retrieve your message? --Thenewguy34( Other ) 23:32, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's okay. But no, it doesn't quite work that way. The wiki attempts to merge the two iterations, but what ends up happening is that your changes end up taking precedence because they were the last to be added to the page. The only way to really prevent it is by right-clicking and copying what was written first, and if the browser asks for the frist user to resend their info and the first changes aren't there, they can paste what was copied in the previous step.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:37, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Also, I am fairly certain that you use the monobook skin. Please confirm to King Marth that my edits to Rebecca are indeed legitimate.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 23:43, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Already done.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 23:45, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

But he did put in 20px on the Roy page in the Stats template which he putted in last time like a couple of months ago and I don't use wiki skin, it looks kinda cluttered. 00:04, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * 20 px is not always the solution. And also, I am not bugging either of you. Do not request Otherarrow that I be blocked; my edits are not malignant.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 00:11, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not sure why King Marth 64 said those things. Ok, maybe I have some idea...but I think that was taken too far. I was not annoyed in the least (ok, well not anymore than normal). Currently, as far as I'm concerned, there's no issue between us.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:18, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was kinda a little bit confused, sorry, I was kinda helping out the wiki, I didn't mean to do something bad, it was kinda a confusion. 00:23, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

That's okay. I can kind of understand in general, but in this instance, I had no problem with anything Thenewguy34 did today, as we talked about what we disagreed on and that was all settled. Again, I have no problem with that user, currently. I assume good faith, and today, that wasn't hard to do.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:33, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

CharStat Templates
Yeah, I know that the Charstat /end templates are not needed. The code source for the end templates is just plain  |} . If you do choose to change it, be aware that those /end templates affect over 1,000 pages on the wiki.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 11:16, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I knew all this even before I started. If you find an /end template listed in the unused templates list, feel free to mark it for deletion. The key is that they need to be listed as unused before you do so. After last night, there should be some listed now.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:07, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Class Icons
I am going to be installing a program similar to photoshop to my computer soon. If you would do a favor for me and put a list of all of the class icons that do not have transparent backgrounds on my talk page, that would be great. Once I get that program installed, I will start working on removing the white backgrounds.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 14:29, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I would, but ever since last month, I've not been able to see any images on this site without going to each file's individual page. It has something to do with a temporary (I hope) inability to display Jscript in Monobook using my browser. As such, I would be extremely unhelpful and slow in fulfilling this. I will say this, though: there's a difference between class icons and map sprites. Class icons are representative class portraits, usually generic enemies will have them. Map sprites are what a unit looks like on the chapter map. Based on previous comments, I'm assuming you are talking about map sprites.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:07, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Correct. I just got the application installed, and I want to fix the map sprites.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 17:43, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. Click "Upload a new version of this file" on the file's page instead of uploading an entirely new image and having the other, superseded file deleted. It preserves previous contributions from past editors and is better than having a mess.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:49, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hell, it is not reading the transparent background.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 17:53, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not even able to tell the difference, unfortunately. I can't see what the icons look like when displayed the pages they are used on. I can only see them on their individual file pages, which can't differentiate between clear and opaque backgrounds. Engweimin would probably be able to help out better than I can in this case. I wish I could be more helpful.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:58, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the background is starting to fade, so I guess it just takes a few minutes. I hope you get your ability to view images back.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 18:02, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I hope so, too! I really appreciate what you are trying to do with the transparent backgrounds. I'd highly recommend Engweimin, who knows a lot about images and has done some of the things you are attempting.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 18:08, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Relevant update. JavaScript in my web browser's Monobook view is now fixed, so I'm no longer having the problem I described above, meaning I might be able to help more effectively than I could before. Thoughts?--Aivass Remurias (talk) 01:32, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that you just need to refresh to get the updated file. I can work on all of the files that need a transparency update. Hmm... all of the GBA map sprites are in blue! I might ask King Marth if he is capable of getting the red map sprites.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 13:07, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, that sounds good.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 18:55, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Quick Question
Do you mind if we switch from using "Stats" in headers to "Statistics" in the headers for the formal touch? I should also mention that another one of my questions did not get answered.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 20:16, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * That was something I kind of started awhile back, but it sort of got lost in the shuffle because of time and more important things, so I dropped it. While I used to have some kind of opinion on it, it's not really up to me. I will say that if you support it, it should give it a little more strength. I've no problem right now with using it in headers, but it's ultimately up to Otherarrow. As for the redirect, that was one of the "not so easy" redirects I mentioned before. I don't have the answer right here and now, but whatever is written in the actual game should be fine, I think. There are still plenty of other ones left in the Special pages list that are fairly easy to identify as "bad".--Aivass Remurias (talk) 20:33, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * In short, go for it. I think Engweimin prefers it as well.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 20:35, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Template:Charstat
Can you please look at the "Demo" section? I am unsure how I should re-code it.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 01:14, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just looked at it, and I'm pretty sure I got what you talked about. What's displayed in the demo section could be better, but now I think it's easier to work with. Thanks for showing me. I think that template may become obsolete in the future, though. Nevertheless, I don't mind helping where I can.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 01:25, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Special:UncategorizedFiles
We have a very large amount of Uncategorized files, can you please categorize them? I can do some of them, but you know stuff like this better than I do.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 14:28, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have been aware of them for quite a while. Many of those are either of dubious usefulness or involve using categories that haven't even been made yet. Once categorized, sometimes incompletely, it becomes very difficult to find them and fix them, so many have been there for a bit. There used to be much more, well over 250, but myself and others got what we could over time. I guess I'll just let the cache clear and see what's left. Looks like you got a good chunk of them, anyway. Thanks for that.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:26, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

File:Something.jpg or Something.jpg?
I have noticed that Engweimin has been removing File: tags from images in galleries. I know that, at times, it can be extremely difficult to go through very large galleries, and File: helps, though with smaller galleries, File: is somewhat redundant. Can you please give me your thoughts on this?

--Thenewguy34( Other ) 20:44, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, right. Well, let me preface my opinion with this: Whatever my opinion may be, one way or another, the community should have a discussion about it, if Otherarrow determines it is the time for one. Ultimately, he has the final say, I think. Regardless of what my opinion is, it doesn't mean it's a mandate or I have the power to "give the ok" or what not. Ok, that was the boring part, sorry. An unfortunate but necessary disclaimer. I'm learning just like everyone else.


 * Right, so now my opinion. I'm a minimalist when it comes to code, and a realist when it comes to content, in a nutshell. This is a coding concern. I really dislike code that doesn't do anything (or no longer does anything), but in this case, I don't mind having the "File" prefix before Files in gallery boxes. I think it's a good practice, and I'm not entirely sure it actually does '"nothing". It is helpful for large galleries. For small ones, like 3-5 Files or less, I don't think it would be a bad idea to have those with the "File" prefix as well. Consistency is important if we are to approach an optimal manual of style. I think it might be helpful to add that most pages (rough estimate, maybe 70%) already have the "File" prefix on most (90%) if not all of their gallery boxed files. So...


 * I am (and was) well aware of what you so painstakingly illustrated above. I can't fault you for being specific, though. Thanks for that. I'd really like to hear the opinions of Otherarrow (obviously), Fabsu93, Engweimin, King Marth 64, and yourself. Probably in the Forum. If Otherarrow wills it.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 00:23, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

Thenewguy hiatus
He requested that I block him because he wants to go on hiatus for personal reasons but says he lacks the willpower to go through with it. He wanted me to tell you. If he ever wants to change his mind, all he has to do is post on his talk page, but eh.--Otherarrow (talk) 18:08, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. Not much I can say about that.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 21:04, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

King Marth Being Stubborn
If you look here, you will notice that, in his revision, he tried to code my message so it would not appear in his talk page. Will you please come and express your point of view on this? I am trying to talk to him about the sizing of map sprites on Gaiden pages like Dahha, but he is being too stubborn to give me his thoughts.--Thenewguy34( Other ) 12:13, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, I saw that back when it happened. That was not good. Forgive me, it's just that I'm quite backlogged with edits and seeing what people have been saying on user talk pages, made a bit harder by the time of year.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:22, December 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I want to add, though, that you are both good editors. There are a just a couple of things here and there that have been difficult to adjust to, but I'm hopeful we can work through them. More on that later if I can get the opportunity. In retrospect, the real challenge (albeit a rewarding one) over this past year was re-cultivating a core group of solid editors who knew what to do and what was going on. The reality is that we all can't be on here all the time making sure content is done the right way. That's why having other editors to cover for each other is so great.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 17:39, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo weapon icons
With icons like File:Silver bow icon.png, do you think we should remove the blue background? Or should we just leave it as is? I want to keep consistency with other weapon icons, but nobody ever touched the Monshō no Nazo icons. What do you think?--Thenewguy34( Other ) 14:24, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm cool either way, really.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 19:32, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Some things about weapon articles
--Thenewguy34( Other ) 13:17, February 2, 2013 (UTC) It's a great day to for Fire Emblemers. =). Here I go.
 * 1) From a couple of revisions (for example, Steel Bow), I have noticed that you are splitting the Shadow Dragon and Shin Monshō no Nazo sections, despite the similarities. Is there a real need to split them into two sections?
 * 2) If you look at some of Engweimin's revisions on pages like Fimbulvetr and Tornado, the icons for the weapon types forms a break in the line. Should I expand the weapon type boxes so this does not occur? I made a sample in my sandbox, if you need to look at a sample of my idea.
 * 1) Steel Bow was a test, and the test found that splitting them actually uses less bytes than the blurb about weight being nonexistent in FE12. A distinction between FE11 and FE12 was made for a reason. My thing is that I only merge if they are exactly the same (which is the case in some FE7-8 weapons. That's why I did it.
 * 2) Good observation! A combination of the Clr template, expanding the box, and changing the icon size will get us through. Nice idea. I like what you did there.

I hope I provided the information you were looking for. Thanks for your help. I have a couple of messages on your talkpage when you have the time. The only other thing I'm kind of leery about is the removal of the blue backgrounds from FE3 icons. It removes a lot more of the actual icon itself than I previously thought, which, when you think about it, is counterproductive. Easy to fix on this end if it gets really bad, though.--Aivass Remurias (talk) 13:55, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
