Duplicated image

Hi GX 64,

I've noticed you uploaded an image of the flipper-flopper, but this image already exists. I don't think there's any need to upload another separate image of the same thing. This is also for the fish stick. Thanks.

Oh and btw, if you need to upload a new version of an image with higher quality, you can click upload a new version of this file on the original file. OrderSquid38 (talk) 03:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I wasn't sure what to do because the original is a png and mine is a jpg, so I didn't think it was possible to upload a new version. I wanted to upload new versions because the originals were cropped and were slightly dark.  GX_64 (talk)  03:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, alright. I'll mark my older uploads for deletion then. OrderSquid38 (talk) 05:56, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Inkfest

Sorry I couldn't get back to you on the actual talk page for the inkfest, I wasn't able to because of an error. Yes of course you can participate! Even if you don't play in any matches, your vote will still count towards popularity! Also, the time zone might be a little bit of an issue, as I currently am in Central Time (CT), but I will try to make it work for you.

Userboxes!

Hey there! I saw you were participating in the Inkfest so I made some userboxes on my sandbox! Check them out, or make some of your own! Xan 18:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They look awesome! I will add the Splatana one to my user page  GX_64 (talk)  03:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can we create and edit pages for the new Splatoon: Bankara! Manga? thx Squidatito (talk) 06:47, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Squidatito, I can help. Are there any pages in particular that you are thinking of creating?  GX_64 (talk)  08:38, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Autopatrol

Hey GX 64, I added you to the autopatrol group. This means that staff will no longer be required to review your edits. There are no other changes. Users are generally placed in this group when they are active, experienced, and extremely unlikely to breach Inkipedia policy. Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun editing!

Gear Close-Ups

Hi!! I saw your sandbox and wanted to let you know that I can take care of the amiibo + catalog gear you're not able to add :] I've had the Triple-Deck Specs on my To-Do List but I keep forgetting ahaha. I'll take pics of everything at once when Splatfest is over so I can wear something other than the fest tee!! FancyRat 05:52, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks! If you want to do it sooner you can temporarily wear other clothing during a Splatfest by disconnecting from the internet.  GX_64 (talk)  06:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sweet, thanks for letting me know!! I saw some of the gear was taken care of by someone else, currently working on the rest! FancyRat 16:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WOOPS SORRY ABOUT ADDING THAT TO COHOZUNA PAGE I MEANT TO DO HORRORBOROS 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝟷𝟶𝟷 (talk) 04:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you!

Just wanted to drop by and thank you for your hard work regarding the Twitter archive :) You've completed an astonishing amount of related edits, especially when it comes to tidying archive links up! Yoshifan52 (talk) 01:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No problem! It's quite fun working out how to do them efficiently. There are only about 300 files left, so hopefully I am able to finish them in a couple weeks. I am quite busy this week, so I have been doing less than usual, but I will be less busy next week. Then there are the normal pages to do, but I should be able to do those with a similar method. I'm hoping that a lot of them have links to already archived tweets, so it won't take too long.  GX_64 (talk)  12:21, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm very amused by you saying there's "only" 300 left, that's quite a lot in my eyes! Wishing you the best of luck in getting them done whenever is most comfortable to you. Yoshifan52 (talk) 06:20, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

thank you for your dedication

i just really want to say thank you for you dedication towards the inkipedia you are really good at the job i just wish i was like everyone else who knows what there doing insted im confused all round and can only stick to my file duty all of the time:( i wish you the best in the future thank you again. ⚝𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑⚝ 07:38, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Don't worry about not knowing how to do some things! You have only been editing Inkipedia for a few weeks. It took me ages to work out how to do many things. I still sometimes find tables difficult. I recommend looking at the source for various pages, and keeping useful examples in a text document, and then copying and modifying things from there when necessary. Also, try doing complicated things, and then look at the preview (using "Show preview") and experiment until it is correct. Is there anything specific that you are confused by?  GX_64 (talk)  08:52, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
i keep forgetting how to welcome ppl to the inkipedia in the comments, i also get confused by the tables and to be honest the last thing is why is there not a thai or welsh translation, since i also speak thai and welsh, sorry if my list is confusing im currently fixing up the User:Starbell/Splatfest page! ⚝𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑⚝ 08:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think this is the welcome template Template:Welcome. Do you mean a Thai or Welsh wiki, similar to the French and Spanish wikis, or why there is no Thai or Welsh in the Names in other languages tables? The latter is because the Splatoon games are not translated into either of those languages, and I don't think Nintendo has social media accounts either (like for Portuguese).  GX_64 (talk)  09:29, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
no i meant by adding them to the policy and Names in other languages tables, ik they cant be translated however I ca provide translation for the welsh version if needed, ik Nintendo dont have accounts for those language's however adding translation's for then would be easy! ⚝𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑⚝ 09:32, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The Names in other languages tables are only for translating the text in other language's versions of the games into English, not translating from English to other languages.  GX_64 (talk)  09:44, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
oh right... my bad forgotten about that im always a forgetful type now exsplain about more about this please im intrested ⚝𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑⚝ 09:47, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Here is the template used for the Names in other languages Template:Localized name. There are some examples on this page for how to use it.  GX_64 (talk)  09:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yooo! Thanks man!

I didn't know what to do in that situation... You know what I'm talking about, right? The latest user? I kinda got shook because... y'know when sometimes someone speaks in another language you don't understand and you don't know what to do?... Yeah. I felt like that.

Thanks for your bravery fam! {ЯR}・Veron 02:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Inkfall, the paragraph on your user talk page (User talk:Inkfall) seems like it is supposed to go on your user page rather than your talk page. You can create a user page by clicking on your username in your signature, or here User:Inkfall.
I looked for your friend request, but I couldn't see it. Have you sent it yet?  GX_64 (talk)  05:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

im wondering, please answer my question

thanks - Inkfall (talk) 06:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, if you recieve too many warnings from staff, a block will be placed, preventing you from editing any page except your talk page. The length of the block depends on the severity of the actions. OrderSquid38 [Talk] 06:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It would behoove you to read through our policies if you have not done so already to help prevent that from happening. Trig - 06:35, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Archival of tweets

Hi there! I've recently corrected some tweets that you missplaced by one day (see this revision and the next ones). This is probably due to your timezone (Twitter adjusts the time that a tweet was posted according to your timezone).

Now this is not a big deal but I wanted to let you know anyways to avoid the repeating of the same mistake multiple times which can lead to a lot of cleanup needed if it happened a lot of times.

If you are using chrome I would recommend you checking out the Change Timezone extension which let's you switch your browser's time and check at what time a tweet was posted in universal time UTC (or GTM, they are both the same).

Have a nice day or night! It's moon [Talk!] 20:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry, I often forget to adjust the date when archiving tweets. My timezone is UTC+10, so the date is often different to UTC. I will go through all the posts in the twitter archive and fix the the dates.  GX_64 (talk)  00:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Additionally, I've noticed that when uploading PFPs you often add them to [[Category:Internet archive files]]. That category is used when there is a link to archive.org on the source, for example: direct link <-- this is an archived image so if you used this source, you would add the category. Otherwise, if you don't rely on archive.org to source the file, please don't include the category. Thanks again in advance! It's moon [Talk!] 14:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think you're mixing some things up. That category is for files kept on the wiki exclusively for archival purposes (e.g. twitter archive, tumblr archive), and PFPs fall under that. Cackle (talk) 14:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, then it's me who has been doing it wrong all the time My bad, will fix the files I categorized wrong asap! It's moon [Talk!] 14:30, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
