Revision UndoEdit
"Undo revision 279833 by Zhentar (talk) Please don't remove valid lore without good reason"
There was good reason. The source was from 1995 and Dungeon #170 lists the Castle as completely rebuilt. That section not only isnt up to date, its unnecessary for an overview section, especially since "Places of Interest" has its own section which I was in the process of adding to when my changes were removed. I will be removing it again in the future and moving its contents in a newly created Valjevo Castle page in a history section.
Calling a tavern owner "mysterious" and the tavern itself a "great place" is subjective and while it may be "lore" in a very loose sense, it is opinion and not fact. It was changed to "popular" to be more objective.
I have no intention of removing facts from the wiki as a whole, only to move them to more appropriate areas and with citations. Obviously subjective statements, however, I have no concern in preserving.
--Zhentar (talk) 07:37, January 4, 2016 (UTC)
- It's not the wiki's goal to present only an up-to-date version or current situation. Rather, the wiki's goal is to present lore at all points in history, so it may be useful in all eras of play. That's a consequence of our Remove Wiki from Timeline policy. So, we maintain the existing lore as history, rather than remove it, and then add to it with fresh history. Erasure of content isn't the solution. Instead, write it in past tense, add a date for context, then add new lore. Move it to a better location, but don't delete unless it's patently wrong or unsourceable.
- You also moved some information around unnecessarily. The Cracked Crown is "The city's most expensive inn." according to The Moonsea sourcebook, but if you move that outside the citation, it's no longer clear where that information came from.
- Yes, the article is untidy and cluttered, and much of this lore should go on separate articles. But the lore shouldn't be deleted out of hand until it is.
- Furthermore, subjectivity isn't a concern. This is a D&D setting after all, and the wiki should be useful as such. Opinions are a thing we report on. "Mysterious" is how people view the NPC. "A haven from the tumult of the city" is how NPCs view the inn. These are facts (if that is what the adventure module truly says) that the wiki should present.
- As a new member, we have to pay extra attention to what you do to ensure that it maintains and improves the wiki along the lines of our policies. Too many come in, do something strange, and disappear. Your edit summary was contradictory. You said "Added notable locations" but that's not what happened. You said "Removed superfluous text", but I don't agree it was superfluous, only faulty and/or should be on a separate page. I don't know that you intend to create a Valjevo Castle article and develop Phlan (though it would be utterly fantastic if you do). Too many new editors come in with a grand project but don't follow through. So, I can't trust a new editor will remove something one day and maybe restore it the next.
- It sounds like you're taking on a huge project here. I would not recommend it as your first project. Phlan's a big, oft-used place and this is a big and cluttered article to overhaul, and there'll be too much text to shift while you learn the ropes. Instead, I recommend you start on something small and self-contained, like an article for one of those taverns, and branch out from there. Ask us if you have any questions, and, finally, welcome to the wiki. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:31, January 4, 2016 (UTC)
Back in what seems forever ago, I overhauled the Zhentil Keep page and added the majority of the content that is there now. I took a break from D&D and FR for a while and am now interested in finishing what I started. To be fair, the Zhentil Keep page itself I left unfinished (the history section is meant to get its own page for a starter) and still needs a lot of work. You recommend not starting with Phlan, yet it is the starting point for a new campaign Im going to DM, so overhauling the page while I research serves me in the long run as well. Honestly, the whole Moonsea area is needing a dedicated archivist and Im a bit miffed at seeing all this fame and fortune going to the Sword Coast while the Moonsea crumbles and my favorite city remains a sad pile of rubble. Perhaps a well documented Moonsea will inspire further development from the powers that be...
Zhentar (talk) 22:59, January 4, 2016 (UTC)
- Ah! I apologise, you're not a new member, you're a returning old member. I'm afraid 2009/2010 was way before my time here, and I've not seen your name around any histories. In that case, welcome back! Anyway, things have changed quite a lot around here since then.
- I didn't mean not to do Phlan at all, more that it would be better to start on a smaller article, such as a tavern or NPC from Phlan, or Valjevo Castle itself. It's easier to manage, and gives you a place to put lore that's unnecessary in the main article. That starts clearing the main article for development.
- BTW, you made 10 edits there today. I find an easier approach is to copy the text to a word document, do and undo all the changes I like, then paste it back and publish. It saves on undoing changes, and makes it easier for others to get a handle on what you're doing.
- Phlan received a lot of attention in 5th-edition adventures recently, which User:Unknown user 11 created pages for the NPCs of. That's where Madam Freona's Tea Kettle came from.
- Phlan was one of the first places I discovered in the Realms, through the Pool of Radiance novels, so I'm looking forward to exploring it more fully through this project of yours.
Ulthar IEdit
I made a mistake with the page name of two character, I create the page Ulthar but after I put inside all info about Urmas NPC, so I went to change Ulthar's page name with Urmas; after I tried to create a new Ulthar page but the system block me and said it's need an administrator to solve the matter. I create Ulthar I as page and need only to cancel the "I" from the page name thank and sorry for the mistake (Unknown user 11 (talk) 14:16, January 28, 2016 (UTC))
- User 11, I fixed the page for you... there was already a Ulthar page... So I named that page the Darkhorn and fixed the stone giant page to Ulthar :) - Darkwynters (talk) 22:57, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
thank Unknown user 11 (talk) 23:25, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
Air in DidYouKnow? Edit
Hello! I have created the article air to replace the redirect this week. Might it be fitting and possible to include it in the Realmslore on the Main Page? (I also plan for fire and water in the forseeable future). Thanks for considering it. Daranios (talk) 13:08, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
- Cool. Template:DidYouKnow/current should be unblocked, so see if you can add one of your own. Otherwise, I'll work on it when I get a chance. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:27, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
- It's specifically marked as unblocked, but I guess the block on the Main Page cascades down to it. Okay, I'll do it next. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:53, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
- Done. Let me know if you have something more interesting to say about it. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 14:01, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll note it for next week. — BadCatMan (talk) 10:46, February 4, 2016 (UTC)
- Great! I'll add it to the list. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:28, February 13, 2016 (UTC)
Game screenshots Edit
Hey there, I noticed you deleted a screenshot of Cespenar from Baldur's Gate II. Are game screenshots a faux pas on this wiki? I was thinking of replacing a few of the low-quality infobox images from the BG series with crisp versions, but if such things are frowned upon I'll focus my efforts elsewhere. --Ir'revrykal (talk) 11:45, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
- Oh no, screenshots are accepted, I've put up a few myself. I just felt it was a rather poor image: you could barely see the imp, even at full size, and I felt the image of the player's party, game interface, and conversation window were unnecessary. We generally prefer clear images that focus on their topics, and don't show unnecessary game information (no rules, interface, etc.) that lift the reader out of the wiki experience. We still have some wonky images around, so I'd like to see some improved images.
- Have a look at Ilbratha, History of the Vast, and quiver of plenty for examples of how I've used BG screenshots. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:56, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
- Noted. Thanks for the swift response. --Ir'revrykal (talk) 11:59, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
Indexes and appendicesEdit
I couldn't find an answer to this in your Manual of Style, so here goes. Should the wiki maintain indexes on games, such as Neverwinter? It could be useful, but could also get rather large and unnavigable (although, some sort of collapsible table could be employed). Furthermore, should the Appearances sections of appendices be broken up by media type? --Ir'revrykal (talk) 06:35, February 25, 2016 (UTC)
- I haven't gotten up to this in the MoS yet, but I'm glad people are looking at it. :)
- I'm in favour of indexing games, treating games like any other source and adding all that can be added (my wiki philosophy is inclusive and completist). As you say, size issues can be handled. The question is having an editor willing to do the work: it someone's willing, then all good; if no one is, I wouldn't call for it. The Neverwinter MMO is a different beast though, as it would be ever expanding with game updates. So, nice to have, but not a must-have.
- Generally, I'm in favour of breaking up Appearances by media type: it helps to know which is a novel, which is a sourcebook, which is a non-canon game, etc. I like the following format, which avoids excessive section headings:
* ''[[The Fat Gnome Trilogy]]''
** ''[[Gnomeland]]''
* Campaign Setting Nth Edition
- to give:
- Novels
- Sourcebooks
- Campaign Setting Nth Edition
- Not all pages do this, and it's a bit needless if there's only one or two entries. — BadCatMan (talk) 08:17, February 25, 2016 (UTC)
- That clears up quite a bit. I'll begin a Neverwinter index—a slightly daunting task for one person, but my hope is that if people see there's a framework in place, they'll be more inclined to add to it. --Ir'revrykal (talk) 08:23, February 25, 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, good luck! And thanks for getting involved! — BadCatMan (talk) 08:37, February 25, 2016 (UTC)
History of Spells and Monsters and Such Edit
So, I thought of starting a forum post on this, but since you are the one doing it, I figure I'll bring it up here first. In your awesome expansions of articles—which I quite enjoy reading—with information from the comics, you often throw some tidbits into History sections. For example, you note that such-and-such a spell was used by someone in the comics to do such-and-such.
To me, it seems like this would fall more under some kind of Notable Uses section, just like we have Notable Instances of Foo for other article types, such as races or classes. I feel that History should be reserved for the actual history of the spell, such as who invented it, its reputation through various time periods, ways it changed through all the "cataclysmic events that changed magic" (*cough*, editions, *cough*), etc.
Likewise, in, e.g., the Kenku article that includes details of specific kenkus doing their thing. I would expect the History section here to be about the history of the kenku race as a whole. The whole paragraph there, IMO, should simply be placed under the heading of Notable Kenkus, even though they are not singled out as individuals.
I hope my points make sense and are not to nit-picky.
~ Lhynard (talk) 21:58, March 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Not at all. I was dissatisfied with some of my additions, but didn't think of "Notable Xs". I've been adding stuff mostly for the sake of adding content (context for images, and such) and completism, but only cases I felt were particular significant or interesting (e.g., a clever use of pyrotechnics on the fire elemental, but not a mundane use of magic missile).
- But I'm ambivalent on dividing the existing History sections. I feel a small History can include more minor appearances of the subject: these give context or historical significance that might otherwise be lacking. A history of the kenku race is currently lacking. OTOH, a lengthy history on, say, orcs in Faerun shouldn't include minor orc characters as would appear in a smaller article. In that case, historical context is already provided by the actual history. I'm not a fan of very short sections anyway.
- So, I agree, but I would only divide if it gets long and unwieldy.
- BTW, my ISP went out Australia-wide, so my internet access has been poor today and may continue to be crap for some time. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:13, March 17, 2016 (UTC)
Current Clack Edit
Are you looking for creative additions for what users are working on for the "Current Clack" weekly update? If so, how about: "Artemaz is visiting with the Dalai Lama, unraveling some of the mysteries of the Hidden Kingdom of Ra-Khati." – User:Artemaz
- You're really forcing me to step up my game here. :) Okay, will do. — BadCatMan (talk) 04:33, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
Did you know: Southeast ZakharaEdit
Hi! It's nice that southeast Zakhara gets its mention in DidYouKnow, but to be completely accurate, the Steaming Isles and Sahu are in the Crowded Sea but not in southeast Zakhara, only bordering it. There are a number of islands there, but only the two large ones, Harab and Bariya, are named. Daranios (talk) 14:54, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Aww, that's much less interesting. Okay, I'll try correct it. — BadCatMan (talk) 00:50, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
Many thanks for your patience and apologies for my lack of comouter skills. I didnt realise that the page was viewed by people, and saw it more of draft format rather than the finished product. Im gonna clean up the pages that you guys havnt already dealt with, and looking forward to expanding the website
I have to apologise again. I didnt fully undestand the fromat procedures which combined with ny thinking it wasnt posted for peolpe to view, at least until finished. My skill with computers isnt great so that was another factor. Give me a week or so and i'll clean up the work, particulary the ancestor mound page to which i'll add the relevant mounds of the tribes. – User:Snorogh
- Thanks for getting back to us to talk it over. Okay, that's fine. If you want to make draft pages, consider putting them in your own user space, that is, pages branched off your user page as User:Snorogh. For example, User:Snorogh/Draft or User:Snorogh/Zokan Thunderer. There, when they're ready, we can move them to the main article space.
- So, we'll leave the others tagged as they are and you can work on cleaning up and expanding them. Have a look at other articles, particularly those we feature on the Main Page as Featured Articles, Realmslore, or in Current Clack, to see how they do things. You might also peruse our Help pages and Policies, and my incomplete Manual of Style. And if you have any questions, just ask one of us admins or regular editors. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, and when posting messages on these Talk pages, please end with four tildes, ~~~~, to make a signature, so it's clear who you are. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:02, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
Hi Edit
Hi, and thanks for the welcome. I happen to have the 4e manuals and some other manuals about dragons and their kin (my favorite creatures of D&D), and I want to help with what I can in those themes.
And yes, those edits... as you can see with the many "minor editions" my english isn't perfect yet, and it will be good idea that someone check the article later for grammar and stuff. (Zeromaru X 06:39, April 17, 2016 (UTC))
On canon and twitter Edit
I have been reading the Canon article, and it says anything that Ed says is canon until it's contradicted by something published in official materials, as those take precedence. Can we use a tweet from Ed as a source for something? --Zeromaru X 05:36, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
- Personally, I wouldn't trust a tweet, but given our current rules, I can't say why not, as we've allowed for everything else. We've normally just taken his responses at the Candlekeep forum. As long as the tweet comes from the genuine Ed Greenwood, doesn't get deleted, and can be linked to using {{Cite web}}, it should be okay. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:51, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I erroneously included the Mercenaries category on Grash Crackbacker's article. The Realmslore entry should be corrected as well. I would do it, but the page is protected. --Ir'revrykal (talk) 16:03, April 24, 2016 (UTC)
- Done. — BadCatMan (talk) 16:13, April 24, 2016 (UTC)
Clan Article Titles Edit
Hello there! I wanted to rename (without redirect) a couple of sub-categories listed here and thus I was looking for the wiki's move proposal template which I didn't manage to find. So I am wondering which template would be appropriate to use instead.
Thanks! - Viktoria Landers (talk) 12:51, April 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome aboard. There's a couple of points. First, I don't think we have a move proposal template. Second, users may rename pages if it's justified, but only admins can move a page without leaving a redirect. If a redirect is left behind but should be deleted, then you can place a {{Deletion}} tag on it.
- But finally, categories cannot be renamed anyway, as they're formed by the pages with Category links on them. So, you would need to go to each page in the category, and update the categories to the new category. Then you make a new category page for the new category, and place a Deletion tag on the old, empty category. If you follow all that. :)
- But how and why did you want to change the categories, and which ones did you want to change? — BadCatMan (talk) 13:10, April 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Aha I see. Well, in the category I linked you before I want to rename the sub-categories Melairkyn and Dolvak Clan to Clan Melairkyn and Clan Dolvak respectively. The reason is for those categories to follow the established naming convention. Thanks again. - Viktoria Landers (talk) 19:06, April 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks for tackling that. We've discussed this issue before, for dwarf clans, drow houses, and noble families, but it didn't go anywhere as we weren't sure what the official names should be in each case. That is, is "Battlehammer", "Clan Battlehammer", or "the Battlehammer clan" the most correct name? Have you found something in the sourcebooks about this, or were you just making them consistent?
- In any case, personally, I feel article titles should be only the name for the sake of simplicity. It's easier and more flexible to link to just "Battlehammer", so "Battlehammer", "Clan Battlehammer", and "the Battlehammer clan" are all possible without a lot of redirects. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:10, April 27, 2016 (UTC)
- No I didn't find anything, my reasoning was the established convention set by the vast majority of pages and categories which use the "Clan Battlehammer" style of naming. Personally I don't feel strongly for either option so I would leave the decision to you guys. Viktoria Landers (talk) 21:48, April 27, 2016 (UTC)
- That's fine. We should have a proper forum discussion about it some day.
- I can have the bot change categories (that is, category links on pages), but it can't rename pages. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:45, April 30, 2016 (UTC)
1E Characters Edit
I signaled an objection made from User:Artemaz about NPC from Swords of the Daimyo and my answer: – Unknown user 11
Don't forget to make all of these characters from Swords of the Daimyo with 1E classes and not 2E classes. 2E was not released until 1989 and Swords of the Daimyo was released in 1986. Artemaz (talk) 13:08, May 5, 2016 (UTC)
- I had this doubt before starting but nobody minus you corrected me. Plus I saw that also Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms module was classified as 1th sourcebook but all the pages in the wiki had a 2th classes. I think when need a clarification about from User:BadCatMan or an other administrators(Unknown user 11 (talk) 13:14, May 5, 2016 (UTC))
- I wait for a clarification foe the eventual change (Unknown user 11 (talk) 13:23, May 5, 2016 (UTC))
- I know next to nothing about 1st edition and 2nd edition and the divide, so I'm not the one to ask. When I made my articles, I assumed Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms is 2e, as it's labeled "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", but that's only a guess on my part. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:34, May 5, 2016 (UTC)
If until now we all used 2th I was for continue this way (Unknown user 11 (talk) 14:04, May 5, 2016 (UTC))
Why change Roben to 1th?? from the forum talks with User:Hashimashadoo I understood was not necessary (Unknown user 11 (talk) 09:52, May 6, 2016 (UTC))
Plus I believed that change to 1th, a move not more need, some oriental pages will confuse people that read the wiki (Unknown user 11 (talk) 10:06, May 6, 2016 (UTC))
- I think you might have misunderstood Hash's statement. I'll answer this at the forum thread. — BadCatMan (talk) 10:28, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
The only clear statement was that kara-tur sourcebook and adventures after Ronin Challenge were ALL 2th edition. Before Hash was no so clear. I understood that a change to 1th was unnecessary. Plus repeat I believe was confusing have samurai of BOTH 1th and 2th edition. (Unknown user 11 (talk) 10:39, May 6, 2016 (UTC))
Ok I not totally agree but my next PNC from Swords of the Daimyo I put in 1th, If you can use the your bot to change all my previously pages was better – Unknown user 11
Thanks, I'll work on the bot later. But please have a look at the Swords of the Daimyo page: it's a very early book, published in 1986, so it's well before 2nd edition was introduced (1989). It's not labelled as 2nd edition either. It's very clearly a "1e" book, just as that page is categorised.
BTW, the ordinal numbers in English are abbreviated as 1st (first), 2nd (second), 3rd (third), and then 4th (fourth), 5th (fifth) and so on. Only the numbers 4 onward use "th".
Also, don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:22, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm running the UnseenServantBot over your recent articles now. UnseenServantBot (talk) 12:45, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
Hi i've been looking into reworking the couple of entries i've made using the format for the site and i hate to say it but my computer skills aren't up to the job,which combined with time becoming an issue as work has picked up in the last couple of weeks, leaves me a bit short.
I dislike to leave things half finished and it may seem a bit of a cop out but i was kinda hoping that someone could maybe edit the work thats left, a piece on ancestral mounds and an enrty for Elrem the Wise.
I love the site, and will continue to browse through, the Realms allways was my favorite setting and i find the wealth of information brilliantSnorogh (talk) 20:55, May 5, 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for letting me know. I or someone else will go back and tidy up the pages later. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:40, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
the Way (Koryo) Edit
I noticed among the change to 1th that Korax (shukenja) was a follower of the Way, was the same Way of Enlightenment worshipped both in Kozakura and Shou Lung???
- No, the Way of Enlightenment is actually the Kozakuran version of the Path of Enlightenment, or the Path. The Way and The Path/Way of Enlightenment are different religions, based on aspects of real-world Confucianism and Buddhism, but with a lot of cross-overs, confused names, and mismatches so they don't fully fit the real-world counterparts. Religion is very tricky in Kara-Tur. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:32, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I know that in real life Korea always had a peculiar style, so I suppose was also for Koryo, for this I ask. I have two PNC, (and probably more arrived) followers of the Way of Enlightenment and I was wondering to use your Category:Followers of the Way, but the answer was clear no. Maybe later I create the right category. (Unknown user 11 (talk) 12:14, May 6, 2016 (UTC))
I read your last update about Koryo and your note about the war with Kozakura, for what I read about Kozakura I found no clue about an ongoing war with other countries, they were busy plotting each others. My sensation about was that some kozakuran daimyo acting independently attack Koryo (this can explain why the war involved ONE city in Koryo). Hope this can help you about Koryo's history (Unknown user 11 (talk) 09:46, May 27, 2016 (UTC))
- Thanks. I've skimmed the Kozakura material, but didn't read it too closely. I couldn't find a hint of the war either. The closest might be the unidentified invaders of the island of Kanshu, but they could be anyone. It's a problem with the Kara-Tur setting: each chapter is written by a different author, and they set things up without really telling each other to follow up on it.
- I have couple of ideas about this one-sided war. In addition to your rogue daimyo, the "Kozakurans" could be pirates or a ninja group, or they could be survivors from a war centuries ago hiding out in the Karak fortress. My favourite idea is that the old Sillan Empire was like North Korea, with a mad king telling his people they're surrounded by enemies, when it's not like that at all. These "Kozakuran invaders" might not be Kozakurans at all. That's all wild speculation and homebrew lore though. — BadCatMan (talk) 10:11, May 27, 2016 (UTC)
New Categories Edit
Is there a way to make new categories instantly auto-type when I'm trying to add them to character pages? For example, I'm adding a bunch of new "Locations of" and "Inhabitants of" categories to characters from Huzuz, but I have to manually type them out on the source edit page. Older categories seem to pop right up when you begin typing the name. Artemaz (talk) 12:43, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
- You only get auto-suggest if the category page has already been made. It won't work for an unmade category, as the name is not in the system. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:45, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
- Hmm, I don't think I've ever noticed the delay, but I usually make my categories afterward (if at all...). I've encountered the delay with other things, but I don't think it's ever been more than a few hours. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:24, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
Title Case?Edit
I noticed you changed a "See Also" to "See also". I thought we had a consensus that we liked title case over sentence case in headings (after I had already gone through and changed all the "Standard sections" in all the infobox templates to sentence case). What's the verdict? I just want to be consistent and reduce your copy-edit time. —Moviesign (talk) 14:43, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
- Had we? I thought we kind of trailed off. :) I forget where we even talked about it. Anyway, it was force-of-habit.
- One thing I'll note is that if I let the bot do its own thing in AutoWikiBrowser, it will change section headings to sentence case. — BadCatMan (talk) 14:59, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
- It was in Forum:Manual of Style and we had 3 votes for and 1 against—yes, it trailed off; we need more votes. I will try to stick with the Manual of Style until something changes.
- PS, were you aware that your talk page is a member of Category:Followers of the Way? :) —Moviesign (talk) 16:15, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
- I am now. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 11:52, May 22, 2016 (UTC)
Hi thanks for the welcome message! Love your awesome work and since i have been using this database for soo much time i will help with some editing. im still noob with wikia but i understand the mechanism on how to do edit pages, thanks to your message i learnt how to add a reference! thanks! and send me more tips please to make it quicker :) Thanks a lot. An Italian DM (User:ItalianDM)
- I'm glad to hear it, but please make sure you include a reference with anything you add, such as what you added to Nesmé. What was the source for that? — BadCatMan (talk) 13:36, June 8, 2016 (UTC)
it's silver marches p.23 im trying to add the reference but cannot find the correct syntax :(

What? Who said that? :p I'll alright, I'll see what I can do. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:26, June 20, 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, there's no good way to get a list of all pages on the wiki to search through. Does anyone have the wiki-fu to generate a list of all the pages that use these? The bot can get all links off a page or I can copy a plain list into it. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:44, June 20, 2016 (UTC)
- Here's how to get the bot to access all pages: From the Source: drop-down, choose Special page. Click Make list and a dialog box will open. In this box, choose Source: All pages (no redirects) and the Main: namespace, then click OK. In a few seconds, the list of pages will be populated with 19,386 pages (or however many we have at the time you do this). —Moviesign (talk) 16:48, July 16, 2016 (UTC)
- That works great! Thanks! I'll start the bot off now. — BadCatMan (talk) 02:31, July 17, 2016 (UTC)

Deletion requestEdit
Dear BadCatMan,
I am Saya222, first thank you for the advice you've sent me regarding editing style.
And I have to apologize for a trouble I've caused. I created a page in order to cite a book that already existed. http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Cite_book/Menzoberranzan_Boxed_Set
This is a complete oversight on my side. I'm sorry.
I've seen your name under the administrators, is it possible for you delete the site linked above?
Again my apologies
- Hi, thanks for your response. I've deleted the incorrect cite page. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions or problems. — BadCatMan (talk) 15:47, July 16, 2016 (UTC)
Dear BadCatMan,
thank you for deleting my mistake.
Best regards
Dear BadCatMan,
thank you for replying to the talk and your suggestions (e.g. not to rush it), I will follow these. I'm sorry for the trouble I surely caused here.
I have a question about the edit number. I use the preview button, so I'm surprised myself by the number. The way I edit is generally, clicking on "edit" and than to Edit Source for because I found it easier to write references and so on. I remember that "save page" needs to be clicked to get back to the edit page which serves also as a preview, does this count as one edit? If yes, I will change this habit immediately.
Also thank you for the "Word" suggestion. Stupid as it may sound, it hasn't occurred to me. I will do it.
Again thank you and my apologies
Best Regards
- Yes, the Save Page or Publish buttons (depending on skin and editor) will save whatever changes you made.
- By the way, you can sign on your posts with four tildes, ~~~~, which will produce your name and date. You can adjust your default signature in Preferences. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:29, July 18, 2016 (UTC)
Questions about rulesEdit
Dear BadCatMan,
I'm Saya222 and I have a question about the rules. I apologize for it'll be lengthy.
You wrote me once that I have to keep out crunch from the articles. I edited yesterday the article Jaezred Chaulssin. After rereading the last one today, I became unsure whether the section "Magic and Skills" has too much of crunch as does then the part about the members.
The policy state for example that for example, spell names can appear. But if the section is to describe that the spell selection has tendency for versatility, should there be a description in how far or should it be left out? The same goes for magic items, should there be a description why and in how far they are useful or should it be left out?
Another question is about when to italicize. I looked up the Nimor article to look for conventions whether magic item names are to be italicized like spell names and found that there is no consistent convention (the policy only talks about spell names), so I left them not italicized, should this be changed?
Throughout, I hope I haven't caused copyright problems.
I'm sorry for the lengthiness and thank you in advance for reading and answering.
Best Regards
Saya222 Saya222 (talk) 12:34, July 31, 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, these are good questions.
- For the first question, your "Magic and Skills" and "Members" section looks just fine for the issue of crunch: there's no talk of dice, DCs, or whatever. It only mentions what they can do, and describes it rather than stats it. We do allow some mentions of +1, +2, etc., for the sake of comparison, as a +1 longsword is a very different thing from a +5 longsword. Don't forget you can also link to spells, items, and magical enchantments, as we have pages for most.
- I'm not quite sure what you mean in the second question. Do you mean they vary their spells? That's probably fine. Is it just their choice of spells, or do they have a special ability?
- As for how much you describe, consider only what is relevant or useful to the article. For example, if the Jaezred Chaulssin simply use the spell shadow evocation, then the Jaezred Chaulssin article only needs to link to it and move on. A reader interested in that spell can go to the shadow evocation page and read all about it. The spell details probably won't tell us much about the Jaezred Chaulssin themselves, so they don't need to be discussed on the Jaezred Chaulssin page. However, if the Jaezred Chaulssin do make special use of shadow evocation, for a ritual or special tactic, or if it was important in a battle or something, then it would be appropriate to discuss the relevant spell details, that is, those that apply to the Jaezred Chaulssin. In general, always try to focus the writing on the topic of the article, or what's vital for understanding it.
- Thirdly, for magic items, follow the convention in the sourcebook. Generally, magic items are italicized, so we italicize them here too. Mundane items aren't italicized, and some artifacts and plain magical items sometimes aren't italicized either. The Nimor Imphraezl hasn't been checked, so the non-italicized magic items are just an error.
- I hoped that answered your questions. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:05, July 31, 2016 (UTC)
- Dear BadCatMan,
- thank you for the quick answer, it clarified a lot.
- I'm sorry that part of my question wasn't well written for understanding, indeed without context it is not possible to understand it. The observation was that if one looks at the Jaezred Chaulssin favorite spell list, they choose spells which have different options at default like shadowgloom, spells that can be converted to other spells like shadow evocation or spells like simulacrum, creating an ice doll that can be commanded for just about anything, in short they had a tendency to choose spells that gave them much freedom and versatility in relation to the number of spells. I've picked the spells and gave a quick explanation why they are useful for what they are doing or wherein lies the versatility that was named a sentence earlier. My question was whether this is valid.
- Also thank you for correcting mistakes and putting speculation mark on what I've written.
- Best Regards and thank you again
- Okay, if they prepare a lot of that kind of spell, I think that would be fair to mention. You make it a footnote (discussing the flexibility from an out-of-universe point-of-view in the Appendix) or mark it as {{Speculation}} in the text of the article. You can look at Cognition thief to see how I used a footnote to discuss a rules issue. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:55, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
- Dear BadCatMan,
- thank you for the advise, I've done it.
- Thank you again
- Best Reagrds

Article Requests Edit
Any chance you can write up articles for Bloodforge Wars and Bloodforge? Since your recent work on the Blood & Magic game, these have jumped way to the top of the list of wanted articles. ~ Lhynard (talk) 03:51, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, these can be rather nebulous topics: five different sources each give somewhat different accounts or else make vague but important allusions. I was planning to start on the specific (individual sources and local topics) and work my way up and out. I'm also working away from the Utter East for a while. :) Anyway, I've redirected Bloodforge Wars to Utter_East#The_Bloodforge_Wars, so there's a start that'll knock off one from the wanted list. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:50, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
Asking for name changeEdit
Dear BadCatMan,
I'm sorry but may I ask for in total three name changes.
The reason that I made the mistake of writing the following three page names' second parts with capital letters. The pages are Elf Disguise, Soul Charge and Vhaeraun's Nightshield.
I'm sorry for causing trouble for you
Best Regards
Saya222 Saya222 (talk) 10:37, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, it's done. You can rename a page yourself: you should have access to a Move button, which does the same thing but doesn't delete the original page name. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:09, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Dear BadCatMan,
- thank you for telling me it. I found it.
- Best Regards and thank you again
- Saya222
- P.S. thank you for the advice, you've written at the correction of my entries.
Lord's of Waterdeep ContinuiutyEdit
Hi BadCatMan - I left this message on the talk page for the Lords of Waterdeep. No one has replied so I was wondering if you could help or tell me which administrator would best be able to help me? Thank you for any input you can give me. (TeliomBrainFreeze (talk) 22:23, September 17, 2016 (UTC))
- My messege - Continuity
Are all of the Lords as of 1479 correct - Kyriani is a ghost in blackstaff tower according to Blackstaff Tower, and Death Masks characters like Laeral and Mirt act like Piergeiron the Paladinson and Durnan are dead? Also since Death Masks placement is the Year of the Scarlet Witch which is 1491 should a new list be made for that point in time and those who are dead be moved to the deceased list (perhaps a secondary deceased list could be made for the Lord's who were assasinated during the Death Masks novel(TeliomBrainFreeze (talk) 01:49, September 14, 2016 (UTC))
- Also in 1479 DR, Dagult Neverember was still the Open Lord (acording to Blackstaff Tower (novel). Laeral did not become the Open Lord until at least after the events of The Herald which is set in 1487 DR. (TeliomBrainFreeze (talk) 17:07, September 24, 2016 (UTC))
- I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to respond earlier, and it eventually slipped my mind. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Lords of Waterdeep, much less how they are in 4th edition, so I don't think I can help you. — BadCatMan (talk) 00:59, September 25, 2016 (UTC)
- Okay. Well, I will try to work on the page and provide citations when I can to bring it up to date.(TeliomBrainFreeze (talk) 19:36, September 25, 2016 (UTC))
Trolling how? Edit
I am tired of anti-Semites calling Jews trolls merely because we support Trump. Just look at that asshat Erik Scott de Bie's recent Twitter feed. I used to like his novels and short stories, but now I fucking hate his guts and want him dead. He is a racist piece of shit, calling me a "white supremacist" and an " alt-right troll" merely for complaining that he stop insulting Trump supporters. How is telling the truth about this racist bastard "trolling" or " harassment"? He is the one doing the trolling.
- I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and see nothing of the kind on de Bie's twitter. Regardless, your personal dispute with him and political differences are completely irrelevant to the Forgotten Realms, to his work, or to the wiki. Please don't take the argument here.
- Since you're no longer actually active here and have abused your admin powers for this, I've removed your admin status. I've also blocked you a few days to cool off and think about this. — BadCatMan (talk) 04:48, September 22, 2016 (UTC)
- I've come to believe that the User:JarlaxleArtemis account also belongs to Quinsareth so I'm pre-emptively banning it before it can be used. -hashtalk 04:33, September 25, 2016 (UTC)
- Wow, that's ten years old. Alright, thanks. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:56, September 25, 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I love this lock system, but I can only get it to work with doors not chests. If I follow the instructions under Setup above it will not lock the chest? Am I supposed to use another command other than /lock for the chest to work? Thank you.

Make the South Island your Ski destination this winter!
The South Island is home to the magnificent Southern Alps and offers a wide variety of activities to experience both on and off the fields. This wonderful mountain range dominates the landscape and is home to a host of ski fields including Mt Hutt located just a short easy drive from Christchurch. The breathtaking views from Mt Hutt on a clear day stretch across the patch-worked Canterbury Plains all the way from the Pacific Ocean to Aoraki Mt Cook. The nearby town of Methven offers a variety of accommodation just a short drive from the ski field.
Dubbed the "Southern Hemisphere's premier winter destination", Queenstown is a haven for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities and those that just love the après ski atmosphere. The two key ski fields are The Remarkables and Coronet Peak both of which offer easy transport services directly from Queenstown to the base of the ski fields. Treble Cone and Cardrona are also just a short drive away, nearer to Wanaka. Fancy a rest day or time to absorb the stunning landscapes? How about trying snow shoeing, sky diving, ziplining, hot pools or head to any of Queenstown and Wanaka's amazing restaurants or wineries. There's so much more to do in New Zealand this winter and it's easy to get there with Air New Zealand.

A Thursday accident along a rural road outside the city resulted in the death of a 17-year-old Oakdale girl, killed June 23 when her ATV entered the path of a 2002 Chevrolet. The Chevy was traveling westbound on Rice Road at about 45 mph early Thursday evening when the vehicles collided.
Fireworks booths throughout Oakdale are open for business and the temperatures are predicted to heat up for the weekend, with plenty of people liable to hit the local waterways for the Fourth of July holiday.
Out of concern for the senior citizens and a frustration with government inefficiency, a construction professional wishing to remain anonymous gathered his crew and took a few hours of his time on Saturday, June 25, to install a 95-foot sidewalk on A Street near Yosemite Avenue.
Oakdale Rural Fire Protection District has achieved some financial security for the end of the fiscal year. Chief Lee Winton is in the process of saving for a rainy day; a reserve fund is something ORFD hasn't had.

It seems at the beginning of every warm weather season, water officials issue a dire warning about conditions on the Stanislaus River. The basics: it's moving fast, it's cold, and it's filled with hidden dangers, remain the same. The difference this year? Take the essence behind those typical warnings and multiply that by a hundred and you might have an inkling of what officials fear for the 2011 summer season.
Riverbank Oakdale Transit Authority (ROTA) directors will delay raising their public bus fares, originally planned to become effective July 1, pending consideration of a Stanislaus County proposal to assume transit operations for the cities of Riverbank and Oakdale.
The City of Oakdale will enter the 2011-2012 fiscal year with a balanced budget, approved unanimously by council members at the Monday, June 20 city council meeting.
A new fence and locked walk-through gate will be erected at the Oakdale Irrigation District offices. In an action at the OID Board of Directors regular meeting on June 21, the board voted 4-0, with director Frank Clark absent, to install a 350 linear feet, six-foot high chain link fence on the east side of the OID property bordering the Live Oak Plaza. OID has a satellite office space in the Live Oak Plaza, those employees will have a key for the walk-through gate.
Sometimes the most important job or person is overlooked until you realize without them - you'd be in hot water, or as in the case of the Stanislaus River: frigid, rushing, and dangerous water.
The Oakdale Irrigation District recently announced the promotion of Eric Thorburn to Water Operations Manager. Because of Thorburn's dedication to his job and his knowledge of modern irrigation practices and system controls he was promoted to the position.
Retired Oakdale Police Lieutenant Vern Gladney acquired a vast assortment of duty gear over his 30 years of service with the city's police department, a career that spanned parts of four decades.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett share their joy at Oscars luncheon
Final voting for the 86th Academy Awards is just four days away, but Monday allowed this year's nominees one more stress-free event before it all gets "oh, so serious" again. For the public at large, the annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon is a celebration of the honorees as they all crowd into one room to take the "Class of" photo. It's also a huge press opportunity where the contenders can subtly communicate their final pitches in hopes that a stray Academy member will read it or hear about it on TV.
According to media on hand who'd endured the luncheon interview room before, the talent that wandered in to take questions was much more impressive than in years past. No doubt, just a reflection of how competitive the season has been and how much is still on the line. While Jennifer Lawrence, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender were unable to attend, contenders such as Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Sandra Bullock, Lupita Nyong'o, Bono, Pharrell Williams and Amy Adams all stopped by for a light afternoon meal.
Here are the nominees' thoughts on the day, their films and the Oscar season in their own words.
June Squibb (Best Supporting Actress, "Nebraska")
On being invited into the club:
"It's very exciting. I feel like I'm a part of a community; those of us who are lucky enough to be nominated are gathering to celebrate together. I saw Lupita [Nyong'o] upstairs and other people I've known."
Lupita Nyong'o (Best Supporting Actress, "12 Years a Slave")
On whether she saw all this coming:
"I didn't expect anything. No, there is no way I could have dreamt any of this stuff up. It has been an incredible journey. It's an adventure and a very exiting one and a very rewarding one and a very revealing one as well."
On her birthplace, Mexico:
"I have a warm place in my heart for Mexico and I do for my other country as well, Kenya. I have been celebrated in other places and also in America and many different places in the world. That is a humbling experience to have so many people embrace you. That is the beauty of film. It brings so many people together."
On the nomination and thoughts on winning:
"It's a recognition of the highest -- everyone regards the Oscars as the ultimate stamp of approval and I don't know. I guess we'll see."
Alfonso Cuaron (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing, "Gravity")
On what his film means to audiences:
"First of all it's the emotional experience of the film. We go through adversity every single day of our life and those adversities shape who we are. Our attitude toward adversity. In many ways it's about embracing their adversity."
On "Gravity's" Latino support
"I'm very grateful with the Mexican crowd and the whole Spanish gang who have been so supportive about this process. Since the moment the movie has been released through all the celebrations."
Alexander Payne (Best Director, "Nebraska")
On what films served as inspirations:
"That's always a hard question to answer. I just liked the screenplay. I just liked the deadpan humor and the sadness underneath and the austerity and it was about kindness. I just saw the Oscar-nominated short documentaries yesterday and they are fantastic. I recommend watching the Osar-nominated short documentaries. No concrete films inspired it. I was inspired by my own relationship with my own aging parents."
Jonah Hill (Best Supporting Actor, "The Wolf of Wall Street")
On reuniting with Leonardo DiCaprio on a new film:
"We wanted to work together again and we have the same manager, Rick [Yorn], and he was trying to find another project for us to act in. And this story about Richard Jewell came to us and we were both so moved by it it was something we had to do."
On working for scale in "The Wolf of Wall Street":
I wouldn't care honestly. Martin Scorsese is my favorite filmmaker of all time. "Goodfellas" is the movie that made me want to make movies. Money is never a concern [when you can work] with people like Martin Scorsese. I would paint his house if he asked me to.
Does he still have his unused acceptance speech for "Moneyball?":
"It's in my safe. I figured I could just change some of the names from the 'Moneyball' speech. The possibility of winning seems so insane to me. It seems so indulgent to me. I guess I will write one just in the one-in-a-billion chance it happens."
Steve McQueen (Best Picture, Best Director, "12 Years a Slave")
On the recent success of Solomon Northup's novel on the New York Times bestseller list:
"For me it was always my ambition to get this into schools when I read it for the first time. We have made this film and it's not bad and we have recognized this novel, which everyone will now know his name, which is fantastic."
Have audiences embraced the film or are they still concerned about the intense violence?:
"For sure. Look at the box office here and the box office in Europe. We passed the $100 million mark. It proves it's not a question to raise anymore. All audiences are interested in challenging films."
On trying to have fun during awards season:
"Someone told me very early on -- beforehand I wouldn't have done this -- but someone told me, 'This movie is more important than you.' I understood that and I took that with me. And actually it's been wonderful. What is happening is a great debate. Every Q&A has been like a Town Hall."
On the emotional difficulty of making the film:
"Well, that wasn't actually the case. We came together as a group of filmmakers, grips, gaffers, electricians. It was a foundation of people, a family, to make this film. As a group we made this movie. It wasn't at all a burden. As a collective we came together to make this film. It was an honor to make Solomon Northup's story."
Bradley Cooper (Best Supporting Actor, "American Hustle")
Does he have a good luck trinket or charm to bring to the ceremony?:
"Trinket? That's a good idea. I'll have to think about that. Any suggestions?"
Any favorite performances among the other nominees?:
"There are a lot of great people nominated this year. I wish Tom Hanks was in there. Sort of crazy he is not."
On staying humble in Hollywood:
"It would be hard not to. I get to do the things I dreamed of as a kid. To be working with Clint Eastwood. I am absolutely living a dream. Working with David O. Russell and Cameron Crowe in the fall? I keep waiting for [the Oscars publicist] to take me away. [Laughs] Maybe it was the way I was raised?"
Amy Adams (Best Actress, "American Hustle")
On what she'll wear at the Oscars:
"Sometimes I feel like I am dressing in costume on the red carpet, but I can guarantee this year it is something I would wear. I'll be myself."
On what she enjoyed most about "American Hustle":
"Working with the actors that I got to work with. Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence -- I think she's busy with 'Hunger Games' and I don't think she's here today -- it was such a great opportunity to work with them."
On working with director David O. Russell:
"David has a way of challenging an actor past what he's capable of. He keeps on you and he stays on you for what he saw in you when he wrote the role. You get to create these characters you haven't had in your repertoire before."
Sandra Bullock (Best Actress, "Gravity")
On working in the United Kingdom:
"It was probably one of the most beautiful experiences I ever had coupled with I was living in the most beautiful place, and to go to a soundstage for four months with the nicest group of people, most patient group of people... They had so much riding on them, new technologies, it should have been a very stressful situation and every day was so kind."
On what made her trust Alfonso Cuaron:
"I never thought in a million years I would be able to work with him. It was a joke in the office [that we'd offer him something] but he only directed his own scripts. I trusted him 100%. We didn't know what we were making, really, but we kept looking back and it wasn't supposed to be a big blockbuster film. It was supposed to be an avant garde, esoteric film about loss and trust set in space. He made it so easy to make it through the day. Whether the film worked or not, I don't think it crossed anyone's mind. It didn't cross mine. I trusted him."
When she watches the film does she have the same emotional reaction audiences do?:
"Normally we don't. You have seen so much of it by the time you see the film. George [Clooney] and I saw nothing. We saw a black box with wires and camera equipment. We knew how emotional it was on the page. We didn't have that experience until we saw it together at Venice. You [watch] it for the third time and you see something in the background you didn't see. A very emotional and visceral experience for the moviegoer. I think everyone was having a reaction to the film because of something that was happening in their own life. Sort of what you like when you read a book. I think that was incredibly brave on his part. It was his job to figure out how to make that moment so everyone could step over it."
Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor, "Dallas Buyers Club")
On what he'll do if he wins:
"I am gong to celebrate no matter what. This is my time to be nominated. If I ever get nominated again? Who knows? But there will never be another first time."
On what has surprised him about the Oscar journey so far:
"I think one of the surprising things is that we have six nominations for this little film that we thought would never get made. Getting it made, we thought, was a huge victory. That surprised me. I thought it had the potential to be something special, but as you know, there is no guarantee. That stuck with people and they are shining a light on it. Other than the whole process? I have had a good time doing it. I think it has to do with the experience I had. I can talk about this experience with Ron Woodroof for the rest of my life."
Cate Blanchett (Best Actress, "Blue Jasmine")
On her gorgeous silver dress and this recognition:
"Thank you. I made it myself. [Laughs.] Sometimes you are ready to take a role by the teeth and having worked so long and intensely in theater and it felt like a synthesis of my work on stage and on screen. These roles don't come around every day."
On her character's amazing wardrobe in the film:
"They all had to go back at midnight. Everything had to go back. I think the entire costume budget was less than the Hermes bag, which was also borrowed."
On this being her sixth nomination:
"Is it? That's great. This one certainly took me by surprise. I threw myself at the role and you have bits of nervousness and trepidation with the role, but it's always a thrill. Especially since I've been away at the Sydney Theater Company, so it's exciting to have something to come back to."
Leonardo DiCaprio (Best Actor, "The Wolf of Wall Street")
On the controversial reaction to his film:
"Look, there is a lot of disgusting behavior in the movie and it was very much a reflection of this. We as filmmakers wanted to display this part of humanity on screen, this irresponsibility. Scorsese isn't someone who spoon-feeds an audience. I'm not going to judge these characters. I'm going to show them as who they are. And also, you have a protagonist at the end who doesn't get his due and proper. That's why his films are timeless. They are not specific to that period. It's portraying a part of humanity and all its truth. Those are the type of films I want to be part of. All of us were playing a character with no moral compass and were consumed with power and wealth. We looked at it like a gigantic Bosch painting. Pure debauchery. It was entertaining."
On his relationship with director Martin Scorsese:
"It's easy for me. I was inspired by his work. He's one of the first filmmakers who, as a young man, I became transfixed as an audience member. He inspired my whole generation. Everybody I grew up with is influenced by him and is the biggest fan of his work: film history, what cinema means as an art form and to our very culture. His relationship with me has to do with the fact we share similar tastes and I'm willing to do whatever he wants on screen. I think ultimately we gain more and more trust with each other as the years go by."
David O. Russell (Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, "American Hustle")
On the recent, drastic transition of his career with "The Fighter," "Silver Linings Playbook" and his latest:
"I am definitely a late bloomer and I definitely needed to grow up. The first set of movies and the second set of movies. From the ears up is one thing. From the feet up is a different thing. The last three films have been from the feet up. I feel very clear and that can only happen after you've been humbled or gotten your head on straight."
Jared Leto (Best Supporting Actor, "Dallas Buyers Club")
On how his youth and his mother influenced him:
"We were born very poor and into pretty humble surroundings and my mother always wanted to do something better for her life. She was a dreamer, a worker. I think the biggest inspiration she gave me was to dream and the work it takes to make dreams a reality. You get these opportunities to stand up and stay something. The best part is to thank people who have believed in you for so long. She's the best."
On his sports jacket and shiny shoes:
"I don't dress up very much, you know. I just saw them and thought it would be fun. I don't wear a lot of suits and sports jackets. You want to feel like yourself and not your agent."
On the last time he underwent an intense physical transformation for a role:
"I gained 67 pounds for a little film called 'Chapter 27.' My mom and my brother saw it. No, I would never do that again. It's really brutal and it's not a lot of fun and it's really bad for your body. I would never gain wait again for a role."
On being heckled at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last week:
"I think 'heckler' is a bad term. It was a debater, someone who needed to take a public moment to say what was on their mind. I think it's healthy. I think it's positive. It's not like I can't learn anything. I'm all ears. I think the planet is better for all those interactions."

By Mike Tung, CEO of Diffbot
Energy drinks aren't a healthy substitute for sleep. But there we were, 16 hours into fixing a problem on the production servers at Diffbot headquarters. Sleep wasn't an option.
A major company had started pilot testing our information extraction service, and our machines were buckling under the surge of increased workload. With various internal system monitoring alarms going off left and right, our team was frantically hacking away.
We all knew that just a few keystrokes could get us into the clear — but finding the right keystrokes was another issue. The specialists on our team were attacking various aspects of the problem in parallel.
It's during moments like these that anyone can appreciate how a driven team of extraordinary developers can make or break a project — I know I do, and I also know that they can be hard to find.
Rockstar developers are a strategic asset for a small company, and today's distributed workforce means you aren't limited to talent you can find locally.
As GitHub CEO Tom Preston-Werner said at a PandoMonthly event: "Companies that aren't distributed can't possibly say that they hire the best people — it doesn't work that way, the world's a big place."
Matt Mullenweg, CEO of WordPress, says 99 percent of the talent in the world is outside the major hubs.
But how can a small team, with limited resources, hire a developer who's world class? You have to create an environment that will attract world-class talent. From my experience — both running startup teams as well as being a developer — here are my top tips for creating the kind of environment a top developer wants to work in.
Have a clearly defined problem
Like "The Wolf" from Pulp Fiction top developers are natural executors and seek out neat and clearly defined problems.
The key word here is problems, not solutions.
An exceptional developer will find a better way than you to solve a problem — after all, isn't that why you hired them? — but you need to give him or her the room to do the work.
A job description that has been mapped out to say "this is the problem, we need someone to fix it" will be irresistible to a developer. Like a jigsaw puzzle that has been laid in front of them on a table, they will immediately start wondering how to solve it.
Technical autonomy
Avoid dictating which tools or technologies should be used to solve the problem. The tools a programmer uses are like a musician's instrument or an athlete's gear: they are cultivated and refined over time to suit our preferences.
If your project absolutely requires the use of certain tools, do some homework: study the candidates' profiles and portfolios to find those who've used the same tools to solve similar problems in the past.
Give them a purpose
Beyond monetary incentive, we all like to spend our time doing things that are significant and have meaning.
Your company doesn't have to be solving world problems, but you should at least be able to explain why your project is important within the context of the organization's goals.
While you may not think this is essential to do the job, these extra bits of information allow high performers to think of out-of-the-box solutions.
Take a targeted approach to finding developers
Top developers are in demand; we're picky about the projects we take on. Thus, you should also be selective about the developers you approach.
Consider past work and pitch a project that leverages their background, or brings them closer to their career objectives. The most common reason a project pitch is deleted from my Inbox is that it's not relevant to my skills and interests — which someone can learn with just a bit of research.
Be organized and in charge of your idea
Talent is attracted to talent. If you want to work with the best, you need to be at the top of your game.
Be clear about your product goals and desired functionality. Don't ask a developer to "explore" the product space with you or, worse, shift your objectives mid-stream. Top developers have a sixth sense for detecting potential uncertainty; the last thing they want is a drawn out process where they never get paid — especially if it is a fixed price contract.
Take some time to learn the basics of how software development works, so you can speak the language of the developer. Even a simple introductory course will help you better understand, from a technical point of view, what's possible and what's harder to accomplish.
Ultimately, top developers like to spend their time doing what they are best at: developing awesome implementations.
Cut down on the time needed in outer stages of the process — narrowing down a fuzzy problem, assessing technical feasibility and skill fit, negotiating the terms (just give us your best rate up front) — and you'll start to find top developers coming to you.

OTA before Activation?
Posted 21 February 2006 - 05:43 PM
Posted 21 February 2006 - 07:45 PM
I just received the ViP622 yesterday but my installation is not scheduled until Saturday. I'm switching over from D* and have don't have an sat antenna, etc. I plugged the 622 in, connected up the OTA antenna, a phone line, and the video projector. I was hoping I could at least receive and record OTA (as one can do with the D* HD-Tivo, for example, even if the sat dish isn't connected). However, the OTA option is grayed out in the installation menu. Is it possible to receive OTA on the 622 without connecting up to E*? If so, how?
No sir it is not. Until the unit is activated it doesn't even think it's an HD receiver.
If you go to the system info page you'll see it says VIP622 - SD.
Once you agree to the HD programming and they send a hit you'll see that change to HD and your OTA will be available.
You can still prescan for the channels in your area however they will not be viewable.

Posted 22 February 2006 - 11:55 AM
Thanks Sam. I was afraid of that. I wonder if that means that if I later deactivate Dish service I'll loose OTA capability, turning the ViP622 into an expensive door stop?
I believe it will revert to doorstop status.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 315 reviews
I found the staff very accommodating and friendly. The pools were nice and you can walk right out to the beach.
room next to elevator but the noise soon faded into the background. tv remote sucked but who needs tv at Miami Beach???? would definitely stay here again.
Great hotel to stay at. A little more affordable than the oceanfront hotels directly on south beach and this is only a 5 minute ride to south beach. Service was good, pool areas were nice, and direct beach access was very nice.
Great hotel. Friendly staff. Very clean hotel. Excellent pool and great pool staff. I would for sure stay again and again.
My stay was great but not satisfied because we did not have a microwave in the room. Also we went down stairs to eat our OWN food during breakfast we were not allowed to eat in the lobby. Very disappointed!!!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
