User talk:The Milkman

Hi, welcome to Mass Effect Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Mass Effect: Genesis page.

Be sure to check out our Style Guide and Community Guidelines to help you get started, and please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Lancer1289 (Talk) 22:52, November 22, 2011

Editing The User Page of Another User
Note that editing the user page of another user is an extremely bannable offense. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, unless it is to remove vandalism, no user is allowed to edit the page of another user. User pages are the property of the user they are about and no one apart from them may edit the page. Do not do this again. Lancer1289 00:37, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Won't happen again. For what it was worth, I was just fixing a typo. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 00:39, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Again though, it doesn't matter what you are doing, simple rule, not your user page, don't edit it. At least you aren't like some users who would take the warning above beyond what it was and throw the equivalent of a temper tantrum or do the "why are you doing this to me" speech. Lancer1289 00:45, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

I am a bureaucrat on two other wikis, trust me I know ;) --The Milkman | I always deliver. 00:51, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please in the future respond here as I hate cross page conversations. I make special note of this a the top of my talk page and ask users to respond to any messages I leave them on their talk page. I cannot see how it makes anything easier to read or follow. Lancer1289 00:58, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Nova Page
Is there a reason you proposed the page for deletion? You didn't add anything to the template and therefore it is unclear why the article should be deleted. Lancer1289 17:47, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, It felt like there was not enough information for a page at this time. I corrected it and updated it for consistency as best as I could for the moment. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 23:17, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Images
While we do not have a limit on personal images here, something I fully intend to fix, we do remind users that we are also not an image repository. There are sites on the internet for that purpose. Lancer1289 03:02, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that, put them up for a blog and my user page. I hope implementing a reasonable limit on personal images proves easy to implement, I know every talk page already has a post about the purpose of talk pages themselves.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 03:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * It hasn't been in the past. I've already been shot down twice. But then the old saying goes, "third time's the charm". Lancer1289 03:08, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

lol good luck then. Also, perhaps you should put in giant bold red letters on the main page that talk pages are for improving articles :)

Article Self Links
Since DRY can explain this much better than me, and did, we do have a policy of self linking articles. DRY explains why here. Lancer1289 00:25, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Isn't it at all possible to copy and paste, then remove the self-link? Or replace it with the template? Either way, thanks for the info and my apologies, it was a broken link.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 04:41, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Milkman,

Let me know if you want to team up for multiplayer!--Darkshark74 14:16, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

with as much due respect as i can muster, did you read my final statement on the post i put on your blog? basically, i admitted that i was acting immature and that others had perpetuated the argument. in that same post, i also said that i had left the conversation to play ME3 multiplayer on the Xbox 360. i would like to ask why you felt it was necessary to comment on a closed discussion.

Policy Violation
After looking, you are currently in violation of the Wiki's Personal Image Policy. Under this policy, you are allowed up to 10 images for your personal use. Currently you are using 15 images for your personal use. You have 48 hours from the time this message is posted to propose deletion of five (5) images, or your most recent ones will be deleted. Lancer1289 03:10, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Is there anywhere I can get a list of all my uploaded images?

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 03:19, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your Contributions is probably the best way. Lancer1289 03:23, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Would you kindly delete the following images?
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Garrus_Scar_fail.png
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Garrus_Meme.jpg
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Zaeed_Story.jpg
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Turman.jpg
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Regret.jpg

Done. Thank you. Lancer1289 03:33, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

My apologies for the inconvenience. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 03:37, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

You have once again violated this policy. Currently you have 12 user images and you are only allowed 10. If you do not propose deletion of two images in 48 hours, then the most recent images will be deleted. Lancer1289 17:30, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

How about these? They are no longer being used in pages.

 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Kelham_Head.png

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 17:40, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * While those can be deleted, they will not put you below the 10 count. Currently, you are using 12 images in your various blogs, and two of those images need to go. Lancer1289 17:47, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * And the second is being used. Lancer1289 17:49, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well the former was (thanfully) removed in favour of a better image, so go ahead delete that one. The latter is only used in a talk page, so I guess that counts. Here are the other 2:
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elcor_Yeah.png
 * http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ugly_Shepard.jpg

Both of those are being used either on my profile page or on a blog. Cheers!

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 17:53, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * They are deleted. Remember that you are at the 10 limit, and have been there for some time. So if you need to upload new images, then old ones have to go. Lancer1289 17:56, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Got it. I'm trying to use images from the wiki more often.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 18:03, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

11 isn't 10. You need to pick one again. Lancer1289 (talk) 03:55, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

More than likely my bad math, but I only see 9 here. Are you counting the images of Kelham?

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 04:04, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that I was. Please feel free to ignore this message. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:07, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Will do, thanks. :D

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer DLC Ideas
Could we do a collaboration, where we would combine my ideas with yours? It'd be fun and you have some great ideas. --Dragonzzilla 15:21, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I did a huge update on my thread. Check it out! --Dragonzzilla 00:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hey bro I read the Ending blog, You did a good job on it. I didn't comment this time but I think you made some interesting points. However kinda like we discussed on psn, it remains to be seen how much Bioware cares about the story. Since they don't think that they did anything wrong and are basically just appeasing us, I'm not getting my hopes up too high.--Darkshark74 16:58, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Blog Cooperative?
Hi Milkman, Just wondering if you would agree to me posting this on my blog about a sort of joint venture in the blogging side of this wiki. If you don't like it, fine - if you do, then could you post a similar sort of idea on your blog? (blog title would be Blog Requests) Hi Guys, The Milkman (a true blogging legend who doesn't skimp on content) and SanjayBeast (comparative newbie with aspirations of greatness) have entered into a blogging partnership (sorta). SanjayBeast will be handling reviews of classes and loadouts for MP/missions/game features whilst The Milkman will be doing the more analysis/comment side of blogging, with in depth articles on what he views as the failings (*cough the ending cough*) or successes of the ME series, amongst many other things (not his own words, but I'm sure he'll love this). So this blog is place for all you, the community, to place requests/suggestions for us about things you feel passionately about, and want us to review. Neither of us are admins or even senior editors, but we will try to do everything in our power to make fun blogs that you can enjoy reading. If needed, SanjayBeast will update his side of the blog every day - however, The Milkman's blogs will probably take a lot longer as his are much more thought out, since they are analytical and complex. So, any requests, ideas or just ramblings for us to think over? Leave them below, and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible. SanjayBeast & The Milkman (end) SanjayBeast (talk) 20:14, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds fun. I have a list of blog ideas going, but I wouldn't mind some more material. Blog away!

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 20:19, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Moron

Oh wow, what an intelligent and well thought argument!

Yeah, that was very mature of you. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 23:39, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, you know what I know i'm not part of this but i'm throwing it out there, SanjayBeast if you want a blog partner than you should know, in the the days before the ME3 ending, I was the self-proclaimed "King of Blogs", seriously I have more than ANYONE on this wiki, its just that now there really isn't much to blog about besides the ending, which has been beaten to death, my point is if you want another partner i'm an excellent candidate.--Legionwrex 02:19, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Well that does sound fun. You should be posting that on his talk page as well, if you haven't already. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 05:33, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
Yeah there is enough people now that I am going to stop, just try to piss him off he has already shown he becomes more stupid if you do so. Alertfiend 08:51, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Blog
I was wondering if you would be okay with me promoting my first blog on one of yours in a reply? You have a solid reputation on here for blogging and I figure I would be able to gain a little bit from that for my small piece that's currently up. Let me know. • Ҝ∂║эησעşќў 23:56, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ahem
WRAGHLABRGHLE.

Thank you, that is all. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  00:18, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Okay then. --The Milkman | I always deliver. 03:46, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Blog
Could you go to my blog and help me out please? --JordanaBrewsterFAN 12:37, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I suppose. What do you need? Can you give me a link?

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 13:00, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Nice Job!
Nice job helping me with that vandal, It was good teamwork :)--Legionwrex 18:05, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Haha thanks, you too! None shall vandalise this wiki on our watch :D

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 18:09, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed!--Legionwrex 18:12, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

new blog
Hello, with our recent blue baby blogging, I thought you might want to know that I've posted a new blog, looking a bit at the depiction and role of synthetics in the series, EDI and the geth: their purpose in the story?. If you're not interested, feel free to ignore both the blog and the message :-) --Ygrain (talk) 16:32, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Good job! I read and commented. Also, I just finished my blog on Dragon Age Wiki. I'll send you a link there once it's published.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 20:52, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

New blog is out, if you want to take a look. It's basically a polished verson of a comment I made some time ago, and the thought simply wouldn't let go. Also, I corrected the link above :-) --Ygrain (talk) 11:47, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Favor.
Could you do me a favor and inform me when you finish your next blog, because there is something I have to do when you finish and post it.--Legionwrex (talk) 05:56, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely. Any suggestions on what the topic should be?

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 05:59, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, as for the blog, something non-ending related, maybe comparing DLCs or determining which Mass Effect game is the best.--Legionwrex (talk) 06:04, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Got it. If I cover the entire series in retrospect, talking about each's strengths and shortcomings, I will have to touch on the ending a bit.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 06:17, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Personally, I at least would prefer the one on DLCs.--Zxjkl (talk) 06:36, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

I was thinking about saving the DLC reviews until we get more single player DLC.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 06:40, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your blogs on other wikis
How convenient is it that the TES & DA wikis(along with this here wiki itself) are the ones that I visit the most? Your "Things I Learned in Skyrim" blog is what alerted me to your bloggy greatness. I always check for updates when I can, and I am never disappointed. Fingers crossed for DA3, eh? --CommanderCousland (talk) 22:56, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Needs moar Dakka
And by dakka I mean blogs.

The more dakka the better. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  23:34, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

You're back!
Out of the purpose of not wanting to derail the blog I'll post this here, welcome back.

I myself have been playing a lot of Fallout 3, that game is awesome.

So, what did you think of Leviathan.--Legionwrex (talk) 02:28, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

The Akuze fic
Hi, I promised to ping you when my Akuze story is done :-) The first chapter goes here, User blog: Ygrain/Long Days, Long Nights 1, if you want to take a look. There are also a couple of other short fics out there, if you have nothing better to do :P --Ygrain (talk) 09:37, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
