Angry Zyglak
hello, toa asu...asrev...awwserev...what ever your name is,I want to strike a deal with you.I admit, I did something wrong,but I couldn't resist the DELETE THIS sign on the midak skyblaster article.plus I never said I wrote that myself,and I was only trying to help the wiki.if you don't know who I am,I'm also known as zyglak359,the "vandal" you blocked along time ago.nice to see you again,but enough with the chit-chat. here's my deal with you.I'll try(notice the word try)never to touch that record button,and every saturday(maybe)I'll give you a list of things to edit.becase you're responsible for my block,I'll only give it to you.also,I'd like to know who makes all those cool signitures.and could you help me with my user page?thanx!bye!Zyglak259 22:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You're supposed to leave new massaegs at the BOTTOM of the page, dude. XD - L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 22:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello, Zyglak259 (or Zyglak359, apparently your BS01 username). After doing some research around the deleted edits of Midak Skyblaster and past revisions of BS01's Midak Skyblaster article, I'm guessing you made an edit to the BS01 Midak Skyblaster article, it got reverted by an admin, and you came here, spiteful, to create the page on Bioniclepedia with your revision, just so you could get out your opinion that the Midak Skyblaster was a type of grenade launcher. Since Midak Skyblaster wasn't allowed here at the time, and the site notice clearly stated it, you were breaking the rules. Thus you were a vandal, and you technically did write the article yourself, or at least part of it. But I didn't permanently block you--your block has already expired.


 * As for the deal, it won't be necessary. You can edit anything yourself now. It seems like you're basically saying to me "I want to help but I can't be bothered to read the rules", in which case I have no interest in helping you. As for the signatures, ask LD760 about that. I based my sig off of his. And exactly what help do you want for your user page? ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 02:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * XD, Funny, cause I based mine off of Daiku's. But I can still help you.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 02:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I wonder who Daiku based his off of? :P ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 02:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I based mine off of ToaAuserv, who based his off of Legodude760, who based his off of Daiku, but then, the same question arises: Who did Daiku base his off of? Or did he? Toa Tahkeh  [[Image:Karzahni.PNG|40px]]{ My talk page 02:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe htere's a never ending chain of sig designers. Or maybe, someone figured out how easy it was to make one ;) - L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell }[[Image:Mr.L.PNG]] 03:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoever they were, they were pretty smart to figure it out. Hey LD760, what software did you use to make the 1000th article banner? I'm curious. Toa Tahkeh  [[Image:Karzahni.PNG|40px]]{ My talk page 03:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Toa Mahri
Thanks for fixing the mix up at the Toa Mahri article about the Toa Inika not being changed by the pit. But, may I ask, where did you get this info? --JDitto 16:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It says in the recent changes page,from good 'ol GregF. - Legodude760 { Give a yell! 05:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No, but where? Was it in an email personally given? Or in BZ Power forums perhaps? Could you please provide a link?--JDitto 16:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops, never mind. I found it in Legodude's talk page. Sorry I forgot to sign. How do we know that BZ Power is a reliable source, anyways? How is it connected to Greg? --JDitto 16:44, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Greg is a member of BZPower. Members private message him with questions there, and he answers them. Then you can post the answers, which is what the person in the link did, so the info came directly from Greg. Sorry I didn't answer on your talk page. Since Legodude posted and signed, I thought he was the one who posted the original message too.--ToaAuserv 17:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Userpage/article
I like your userpage.It's just like another wiki article.I was going to do that too,but my userpage is a little big already! - Legodude760 { Give a yell! 02:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I like yours too--it's way bigger than mine and has more information. I just thought it would be funny to do it like that, and maybe some article-writing practice. ToaAuserv 02:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

You said you wanted a job:
Me again! So,the title says all. You said you would help out with anything you could,so...could you help me look on wikipedia for images? I think half the articles don't have them.- Legodude760 { Give a yell! 03:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm finally back, and even though it's been 3 months, I'm willing to help with that. Does it have to be from Wikipedia? Because I'm sure I could find tons more by searching for the characters' names on Google Images. ToaAuserv 21:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You could do both.- LD760 { Talk[[Image:Luigi.gif|24px]] 23:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright then. I guess I'll just start hitting Random page until I find an article without an image! ToaAuserv 23:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

BS01 wiki
Do you know how to get in? When I tried the old hyperlink, it asked for a username and password. I tried mine and it didn't work. --24.76.228.161 22:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've noticed the same problem, but I have no idea what username and password it wants you to use. On the community portal, someone has the theory that it has to do with the main site going back up, and only mods know the username and password. So I guess it's down again. Hopefully not for so long this time. ToaAuserv 22:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Qwery
Since you are the only user editing here (for now), I'm asking you my question:

Do you think the Visroak came from thier own homeland?;-) - LD760 { Talk 01:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you mean did they come from a homeland with only Visorak, or did they come from a homeland at all? I'm not sure about either one, but I think it is probably pretty reasonable to assume the second one. Wikipedia doesn't say anything about it, and BS01 is still down. I'm going to check BZPower, and if I can find anything I'll tell you here. ToaAuserv 19:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Sorry, couldn't find anything. Why'd you want to know, anyway? ToaAuserv 00:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * They've got an island, and I'm not sure whether Sidorak is native to it. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 00:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * No, Sidorak is definitely not native to it. He and Krekka had the same home island, if I remember correctly, but there were no Visorak. He got the Visorak once the Brotherhood of Makuta recruited him. ToaAuserv 01:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Finally, a sig!
Well... everyone else was doing it. So I made a sig featuring good old Hydraxon. ToaAuserv { Tell me about it! 01:30, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, on LD760's talk page you talked about the Cordak that's hard to launch. I can barely get one! Same with squids. ToaAuserv would know.

Sorry, but that's kinda old. How about p'squa? Waht do you mean "you can hardly get one"? You can't own one? Or you can't shoot one? You just shake it a few times on the last bullet 'till it shoots right. Don't shake it too hard.-HR {Tell me about it!} 21:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't have but the Rahi beasts (guide)book, and some metru nui book from 2004, I think. I've only read Rahi beasts.BTW, was there an old member that goes by the name Jeremy something? He goes to my school, and siad he used to be here. Just wandering. X a r a e s Talk to me! 23:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The Rahi Beasts book is great--I have it too. You can edit the Rahi articles with information from the book. A lot of those articles need help. The Metru Nui book has some useful info too. Our articles for the six metru are suffering badly, trust me. As for Jeremy, the name doesn't ring a bell. He might have gotten us confused with BS01. But I've only been a member for a little over a year, and I'm not the best with names, so he might have been here once. I'll try to look into it. BTW, if your parents let you, I strongly suggest buying some of the Bionicle books, or at least the recently-released Bionicle Encyclopedia Volume Two. They're all great books.

Hey, could you use your sysop powers to obliterate the Nuva Blog individual entry pages? I just put them all into the Nuva Blog page. Thanks. ( Takuna 00:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Takuna; I was planning on doing it myself but I got lazy. I see you did DOD too--another thing I was too lazy to do. Unless you already started on it, I'll try and do Into the Darkness tomorrow. But for now, I'm just going to delete those pages. Thanks again!

Banning
I don't think posting leaked names once rates infinite banning. Maybe try giving anon users a warning first, then a block of a day or two, then an infinite block. That should take care of the problem, but not block a lot of anon users just trying to help, but not reading. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } {My Library} 23:01, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I just figured with the glaring site notice that says "Do not post leaked set names" he should've known... I'll unblock him and then warn him. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 01:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey im thinking about making a custom yellow huna for you: great or noble, old, brighter yellow or new, darker yellow? Kohilaice 00:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the offer! I've made one myself, but it wasn't really that good of a job, because I am by no meaning of the word an artist. It would be a Great Huna (unless you wanted it to be for my Matoran of Electricity form; then it would be Noble), and if you could, I would actually prefer it the same gold as Brutaka's Olmak.

Article protection
As an admin, you can protect deleted pages (such as Karda Nui or Midak Skyblaster) so that users cannot recreated them. Just a suggestion so that you don't need that sitenotice up until it's officially (or officially not) released.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 11:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can protect deleted pages? Thanks for the tip. I'll go do that now. Wait a second... How do you do that? When I clicked on a redlink to Karda Nui like I was going to create it, there was no option to protect the page, and I can't think of any other way I would go about doing it. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 13:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * See Wikipedia:Protected deleted pages.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 07:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll probably sound like a moron, but I really have no idea how I would go about "transcluding the article onto a page with cascading protection enabled". I don't even know what 'cascading protection' is. The second solution there doesn't apply, because neither article can redirect anywhere that I can think of. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 13:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * How about redirect the page to the "Pages protected from protection" and protect the redirect pages/protection page? Other than that, I don't really have any suggestions; I tried a deletion test on SWGames, but wasn't able to figure anything different out.  If I find a better way to do it, I'll let you know.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 15:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, perhaps I could do that... I'm considering just letting the article be created. After all, even BS01 has a Midak Skyblaster article. But until it's a confirmed name, I'm reluctant. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 15:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with you. If it's not confirmed, it either shouldn't be created, or it should have a template that says that it is not a confirmed name.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 23:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing
Is there a sourcing policy on Bioniclepedia? If not, there should be, as this is an encyclopedia.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 07:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh... not really. A few pages have sources, but the majority don't. There is this page, but no one really pays it any attention. However, I'd love to establish one. I just don't know exactly what the policy would be--going back and sourcing everything now would take forever, so I would think just sourcing newly-released information would work best. Your opinion? ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 14:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that as an encyclopedia, all the pages should be either sourced or at least the appearances listed at the end of the page. The other wikis I've worked on listing sources or appearances is required, and they have a template for unsourced articels so that people can correct it (with the exception of SWFanon, cause it doesn't need sourcing as it's all fan-made, much like Custom Bionicle).  It doesn't necessarily need a citation on all the information like Wikipedia does, but having a list of sources/appearances would be good.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 07:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay then--I think we're going to make that template and then source new information with links to Greg quotes, and older info to the books or wherever that you can find it. ToaAuserv  [[Image:Hydraxon.jpg|40px]]{ Tell me about it! 18:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
