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)

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.

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.

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.

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)

Tips
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.

Wow!
You are doing a great job by adding those articles!--Black Dragon Laguz 21:38, September 2, 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...

"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)

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 swoon over 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? =) Wishin' I had a fancy Userbox-thingie 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)

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)

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)

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, you might benefit from looking at edits before telling someone not to do something.--Aivass Remurias 00:26, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
