Language Policy
Note that we do in fact have a Language Policy here. We have zero tolerance for inappropriate or crude language. Any further violations of this policy will lead to a ban. Lancer1289 (talk) 21:01, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Flamewar Policy.
You do realize I changed many of the things from the original flamewar policy right? Please explain to me how this policy will "suppress innovative thinking" so I can attempt to change the policy, because if you look closely the policy actually supports innovative thinking, that is why it allows the conversation the flamewar was about to continue, so long as everyone remains civil.--Legionwrex (talk) 22:14, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

The Akuze fic
Hi, I promised to let you know when I start publishing the Akuze story - here it goes, User blog: Ygrain/Long Days, Long Nights 1, and if you have changed your mind, feel free to ignore it :-) --Ygrain (talk) 09:03, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Changed my mind? Are you kidding? Your fan-fics are simply too engaging too ignore. I am looking forward to the next chapter. Please keep up the good work! SolitaryReaper (talk) 09:14, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, one can never be sure when people get fed up with my graphomania, so I always offer a way to back out :P --Ygrain (talk) 10:59, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for pointing out that there was already a blog on that subject. I have since deleted my blog because we have no need for two blogs on the same subject and reposted my personal comments on the other blog. Lancer1289 (talk) 13:55, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

No problem. SolitaryReaper (talk) 13:57, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Please Hold
Please read my last comment on Forum:Operation Concentrated Effort. If you are interested in helping, then please sign up. Lancer1289 (talk) 13:25, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

I did sign up on Project Chronicler. You are advising to hold off till the project is fully operational? I have already edited several articles. SolitaryReaper (talk) 13:29, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * If we have people who sign up start editing every article before the project is implemented, it could, and probably will lead to problems down the road. The point of the project is to get a group of users to perform large tasks, discuss things together first, and provide a way for people to get things done quickly. If everyone who signs up just keeps going around editing, if what they did causes problems, it will just result in complications. The fewer edits the better, and in this case, waiting is the best thing. The project will open in a week from the forum date, provided we can get enough people to sign up, otherwise we will just go with what we have. Lancer1289 (talk) 13:35, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Got it. SolitaryReaper (talk) 13:42, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * How about I make that comment easier to read. Good morning is the biggest oxymoron in the English language. Lancer1289 (talk) 13:46, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you are trolling me or not. But thanks anyway. SolitaryReaper (talk) 14:13, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually if you look at the history, my second comment before I made the changes has several grammar errors that when I looked at it again, I was like "am I really that bad with mornings"? Lancer1289 (talk) 14:16, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Operation Chronicler.
Greetings fellow Chronicler. I am just informing you that Project Chronicle has been launched, and you can find our main page here. I look forward to working with you and Zxjkl.--Legionwrex (talk) 20:16, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have a plan for our approach to this project? --SolitaryReaper (talk) 20:29, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Working on it. I think we should start by modifying the current character templet to mach all articles, but we can all discuss it on the page. If you have any ideas, please do not hesitate to present them.--Legionwrex (talk) 20:34, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Operation Concentrated Effort
Operation Concentrated Effort is now on, and you have been chosen for the lead of Project Cartographer, focusing on the Planet, System, Cluster, and other navigation based articles associated with the Galaxy Map. The basic control page for the project can be found here and you can update the project goals as necessary. Please remember that communication and cooperation is vital to the project. It seems that you will be working alone on this project, for now, but you can recruit other members, which I'd encourage given the size and scope of this project.

Good luck. Lancer1289 (talk) 20:39, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Uh, how exactly do I recruit other members? I mean, its voluntary and I cant force anyone to join. And by the looks of it, I dont think the probability of others joining is high. SolitaryReaper (talk) 20:46, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * You can ask around if you see someone editing planet articles or if you know another user is interested. I'm not really sure how else but what I know is to keep your eyes pealed because you never know. Lancer1289 (talk) 20:49, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Search and Rescue
Please note that Search and Rescue items are not permitted in any system or planet article. Lancer1289 (talk) 17:33, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Uh, why not? Certain war assets are obtained through scanning of planets and objects. They ought to be mentioned in the planet page. --SolitaryReaper (talk) 17:36, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is because of the centralized location of them. Lancer1289 (talk) 17:38, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but planet pages would look much more complete if every aspect related to them is mentioned in the page, including war assets. ME1's feature was the mineral scans, ME2's was again the mineral scans(more detailed though) and ME3's is the war asset associated with planets. Completeness is what we are aiming at here right? SolitaryReaper (talk) 17:47, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Character Template.
The Policy Forum for the new character template has been created.--Legionwrex (talk) 17:16, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

worldtypes
are deprecated. just to let you know we don't use that anymore even if it's present on the template.

 * Thanks for the info. I will get to work undoing all the changes involving worldtypes. Though there are certain worlds like Earth, Thessia,etc that have worldtypes associated with them, no?--SolitaryReaper (talk) 10:22, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

someone had the idea to add it on the templates way back and if i read the discussions on it correctly some of the higher-ups decided worldtypes create more troubles than it solves. no real meaningful distinctions between rock/barren/whatever worlds for starters IIRC.

for gas giants though you can simply add the category Gas giants. although reading that page apparently there's some criteria to fulfill before doing that just because some astronomy nut had his way with the category page way before we registered (i ignored those).

RE:
You're welcome. Didn't want anybody to misinterpret that comment, it was a rather intelligent one. Leon S. Kennedy AKA Shepard 23:45, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, good on you good sir --Boss Hoss (talk) 23:45, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if you guys are being sarcastic or not, but thanks anyway.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 23:48, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

I can be not sarcastic when I want to be! --Boss Hoss (talk) 23:55, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not being sarcastic. Don't know about Mr. Hossel over there. Leon S. Kennedy AKA Shepard 01:38, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Project Cartographer
Hey, Lancer told me to leave you a message on your chat page about me wanting to help you in Project Cartographer. Sqarkplugz (talk)
 * Thanks for joining this project. Visit the project page here for details.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 20:15, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Project Chronicle Update.
Project Chronicle has been updated, please look at the comment section of the projects home page for your new assignment.--Legionwrex (talk) 19:51, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Voice Actor Imdb Linking
Hi there, i noticed taht the Imdb-Page Links of the Voice-Actors direct nowhere. i get 404 not found message. Second i notice that we got Vikipedia Article (Armando-Owen Bailey) and Imdb Pages (Ashley Williams, Kaidan Alenko) as Voice Actor Links. --MaverikCH (talk) 21:48, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * I will get to fixing that.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 21:49, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like a major bug for all IMDB related voice actors. I have asked Commdor and Legionwrex for help.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 22:11, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just confused ;) Armando-Owen Bailey's Voice Actor is on Imdb too: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0389581/. Is there a specific reason for the Wikipedia Linking?--MaverikCH (talk) 17:47, October 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * If there is a Wikipedia link for a voice actor, that is preferred. This was set as policy here: Forum:Wikipedia instead of IMDb. Trandra (talk) 19:13, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thx, for clearence. Kaidans Voice Actor has a Wikipedia Page for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Sbarge. I think,if we go through them, there would be more. shall i propose a small project on this or will the guys on Mass Effect Wiki:Operation Concentrated Effort/Project Chronicler correct it? --MaverikCH (talk) 20:45, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my late reply. As Trandra pointed out, Wikipedia pages take precedence over IMDB pages. I suppose we people involved in Project Chronicler will have to start working on that.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 22:38, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Question.
So, I just have to ask this, did you change your user picture because that guy stole your old one?--Legionwrex (talk) 17:58, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry to jump in here, but what's going on? Lancer1289 (talk) 18:02, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Partly because of that and also because that pic sucked(A rather late realization). Spectre inductee? It sounds so stupid now. *snorts* I prefer Alliance military.

Is there a problem Lancer?--SolitaryReaper (talk) 18:03, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, man you had me worried for a second Lancer. It's not a big deal, a new user came here using the exact same user picture as SolitaryReaper. SolitaryReaper commented on it in Chat!, and now he has changed his picture, so I was just wondering.--Legionwrex (talk) 18:06, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * That was all I needed. Thanks. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:18, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you for this prestigious honor. I will dedicate myself to the wiki and uphold all of its policies.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 00:13, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Welcome to the club, Solitary.--Legionwrex (talk) 00:21, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Legionwrex. I look forward to working with the club.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 00:24, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Unique dialogue pages
To point out these pages have covered dialogue unrelated to squad situations before such as Liara's comments after leviathan if she is in a relationship with Sheperd--FossilLord 03:53, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * That isn't the point of those pages. It is for squad dialogue only. Anything else shouldn't be mentioned on those pages. They should be in the articles. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:00, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

As Lancer pointed out, unique dialogue pages are meant for squad situations. If Liara's UD page does contain the above-mentioned conversation, it should have been removed.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 5:04, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Uh Gentlemen? sorry i will assume you are all men. Gentlemen the point that i am trying to make is that these pages cover the unique conversations your have with your squad members regardless of the situation, if you really must take this information out you should place it some where it can still be linked to.--FossilLord 15:37, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * For now, the Normandy dialogues are being moved to the character pages.--SolitaryReaper (talk) 15:46, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Very well but i must insist that we create a separate page for the dialogue within the next few weeks a Normandy dialogue page, perhaps connected the the Normandy article could be useful if this is how we are treating the unique dialogue pages.--FossilLord 15:58, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
