User talk:BlackSmith

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my user page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

I'd like to hear a reply! Just click Edit above, and write a message under where mine ends - then, at the end of your message (on the same line) type four tildes (Like this: ) to automatically insert a nickname linked to your user page, and a date/time signature!

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around (-; 22:17, July 5, 2007 (EDT)

i need help with Category: using

 * At the moment, listing all the warforgeds after the warforgeds race & enchancements page would display huge number of three (3) warforgeds. Ghant, Sanction, Ferricgnome. Listing warforged enhancements directly under race page with players (as logn the list stays under 50 names) would clear up the "foldering" spamm that is bit too heavy in this wiki. Lots of little stuff there and there, very little anything solid. BlackSmith 04:12, July 30, 2007 (EDT)

Hiya
Hey, thanks for stopping by and doing some editing. I've been gone for 2 weeks (crazy, crazy, crazy backpacking trip) so I missed any of this 'drama' or whatnot - sad to see you and Borror seem to have gotten off to a bad start.

Wiki editors always have differences of opinion on how things should be structured or organized. Thats what happens when you have lots of people who are doing work without money, on a volunteer basis; when somebody is technically your boss, but isn't actually responsible for handing you any money, it can be difficult to listen to them. Trust me, I know ^^/

In any case, let me know if you have any instant messenger contact information - it's a lot faster than talk pages, and I liked to chat with my top editors d-:

Again, thanks for editing, let me know if you need anything. I don't know any of the specific questions you or borror were arguing over, but if you just ask, I'd be glad to let you know the answer. 01:51, August 16, 2007 (EDT)

Template:Ingredient
I'm aware that Template:Ingredient is still buggy and that is mostly because I've never gotten it completed. I'm going through a divorce/separation right now and am unable to dedicate much time to fixing it at the moment. Feel free to take a poke at it. Otherwise I will finish it up as soon as reasonably possible. Thank you. ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 16:53, February 19, 2013 (EST)


 * Okey, I'll fix it. Good luck in love. BlackSmith (Contributions &bull; Message) 11:21, February 27, 2013 (EST)

Alignment
You undid my revision on the article and without a reason. The article was ill formatted, wrongly categorized, did not stay on topic and was not clearing out what it was about. Mind clarifying why you did so? BlackSmith (Contributions &bull; Message) 13:04, March 4, 2013 (EST)


 * Mass Removal of Information Bladedge (Contributions &bull; Message) 14:20, March 5, 2013 (EST)


 * Yes I did compare both versions and you removed all of DDO information from the page and replace it with what appers to be PnP backgoundinformation. I even double check before I responded to your post. This matter is now closed for debate. Bladedge (Contributions &bull; Message) 15:52, March 5, 2013 (EST)

English grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and wikiquette
BlackSmith, I'm not sure if you are aware or not, and I do not mean to be offensive or rude, but your English is horrible and very difficult to read. On article pages it is fair game for anyone to go in and fix them as they see fit; however, on talk pages this practice is discouraged by wikiquette. With that in mind, would you feel offended if myself (or anyone really) tried to clean up your English on talk pages? ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 06:57, March 9, 2013 (EST)


 * No, I was not aware that it is "horrible" and "very difficult to read". I am aware that my writings are not as fluent as native speakers, but I have regarded myself as a decent English speaker. I also know that sometimes when I re-rewrite what I have been planing to say I loose the idea what I was going to say in the first place, since apparently simply saying "You're wrong about this and this and it would be better to do like this" is considered rude and hostile. For the record, You would not have sounded rude or offensive if you would have simply said "Would You feel offended if myself (or anyone really) tried to clean up your English on talk pages?"

 * LOL That still doesn't answer the question of whether or not you would feel offended if cleaning up your English was done...

 * I wrote in the summary: "Sure, go ahead."

Categorization question

 * I'm disappointed Joe, this belongs with the rest of the discussion on Help_talk:Category. Please, let's not have the same discussion on everyone's talk pages.  Thank you.
