User talk:Lancer1289

Welcome to My Talk Page. If you don't find an issue that you have brought up with me in the past, then please check my archives because I have moved a lot of it to there. However I ask you to NOT edit there, just drop me a new message to bring up the discussion again. To leave me a message, please click on the "Leave message" button above, rather than just editing the whole page. That way I know what to look for. Thanks.

Please do leave me a new message unless there is a conversation that is already in progress that you wish to comment on. If you have a question that has no bearing on a conversation that is under a heading, then please don't edit there. Just leave me a new message. For example, if you see a section called Help, but your question doesn't relate to what the conversation was about, then PLEASE don't edit in that section, just leave me a new message. The comments will be moved to the end and I'll create a new section for it.

Email
Lancer, check your email. I'm heading out, so I won't be able to reply (if necessary) until later. -- Commdor (Talk) 20:53, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * What a coincidence, I was just about to email you. I'll just reply then. Lancer1289 (talk) 20:55, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

I suspect a sock puppet.
I don't want to go make baseless accusations and throw people under the bus, but this Gavin Hossel guy has some strikingly similar qualities to that of User:Charles Saracino, not to mention he showed up the day after Charles ban.--Legionwrex (talk) 21:10, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * We are watching. Lancer1289 (talk) 21:12, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Who is "we", you're the only one I alerted.--Legionwrex (talk) 21:13, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * We are watching. That is all you need to know. Lancer1289 (talk) 22:28, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay???--Legionwrex (talk) 22:32, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * We are watching. That is all. Lancer1289 (talk) 22:34, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

I might be over-reacting...
But if not, we might well receive another warning from the Wikia Central. On the MC vs. Shepard blog, Mr. Mittens has brought up the matter of the fanfiction blog (one you ended up comment-locking). While the discussion didn't contain any death threats, it had certain responses that might warrant a warning to certain users.

I sincerely hope that this is false alarm and whatever you do, please don't close commenting on that blog. Best regards, 4Ferelden (talk) 00:47, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * No death threats have occurred. The only way that this goes any further is if TW takes it there. --Mr. Mittens (talk) 00:53, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please when leaving messages, please look at the situation that came up before and if it isn't that serious then please don't open with that line.
 * I will still look however. Lancer1289 (talk) 03:33, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Please Help.
User Ardent Clerk Bosker Apologist has started a political debate on my talk page (for no apparent reason) and has been insulting and hostile towards me ever since, even after I informed him that he was breaking site policy and asked him to stop. Please take a look, it is under the politics section of my talk page.--Legionwrex (talk) 03:42, September 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * The user has been blocked for harassment. -- Commdor (Talk) 03:43, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you Commdor, for whatever reason I seem to have an admin-sized target for hostility these days.--Legionwrex (talk) 03:47, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Apologies for not taking care of this sooner but I hope you can indulge me. One thing I learned from my recent match is what is worse than four Shadows with Cerberus Harriers? Lancer1289 (talk) 03:59, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's all good. I haven't played ME3 in so long I've actually forgotten what a "Shadow" is.--Legionwrex (talk) 04:11, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was kind of hoping for a response based on two big BioWare games, or just a simple "What?" Well what is worse than four Shadows with Harriers, is four Shadows with lightsabers and Force abilities. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:20, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Get this, Ardent just sent me a message via X-box live further harassing me.--Legionwrex (talk) 04:36, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * How does he have your gamertag? If hit continues, then just report him and block communications. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:40, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's on my user page, anyways, it turns out it wasn't him, but rather TW6464 pretending to be him for whatever reason.--Legionwrex (talk) 04:42, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * What? Ok this is getting out of hand. I'd still report that and block communications. This is why I never have and never will put my gamertag on my user page. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:42, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I don't know what the H*ll is going on, TW6464 is sending some pretty creepy messages.--Legionwrex (talk) 04:46, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you share? --Mr. Mittens (talk) 04:48, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just block communications and be done with it. Lancer1289 (talk) 04:50, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

I have to cut in here. I'm friends with Ardent Clerk Bosker Apologist, and I helped him set up his account here (What he chose to do with it was of his own accord). I'm communicating with him via Skype right now and he says he is NOT responsible for these Xbox messages. It must be someone else. --Mr. Mittens (talk) 04:45, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

These are the messages from TW6464 in order.


 * "Springrollio..."


 * "I am not Ardent Clerk Bosker, btw, its...TW6464. and my friends"


 * "No Im completly serious, there are 6 other frequent posters with me"


 * "We can all explain at at later date, we are Helping"


 * "keep calm, we mean you no harm, We intend to bring greatness to the wiki"

Creepy, huh?--Legionwrex (talk) 04:54, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok that is a really creepy, especially when it's the first thing to read in the morning. Bluegear93 (talk)

Blood Pack Punisher
I just wanted to pop in and let you know I removed a note on the Blood Pack Punisher page that another user added and you edited regarding the effects of AP ammo. After your edit, the page said that AP ammo is unnecessary with the Punisher because of its inherent armor piercing ability. I found this odd because no other weapon with armor piercing/cover penetration properties mentioned AP ammo being unnecessary.

Through some testing I've noticed a clear difference in the effectiveness of the Punisher with any ammo that does extra damage to armor or weakens armor. Using the console I removed both squadmates and went 1v1 with a Brute. There is a very noticeable difference in the number of rounds required to take him down when AP/Cryo ammo is applied. If this was inappropriate, please let me know and I'll remove it, but as I mentioned before, it's not consistent with the other weapons and I believe it is incorrect.

Sorry for the long message, I'm just trying to make things as accurate as possible here and don't want to step on anyone's toes. If this message is unnecessary or in the wrong area (Punisher talk page?), I apologize, and feel free to contact me and delete it. --M storch (talk) 16:45, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I"m not sure what you are talking about. I've only undone edits on that page so some explaining is needed. Lancer1289 (talk) 17:00, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

The page previously stated "As the Punisher already does extra damage towards armor, adding an anti-armor ammo power will make it become overwhelming." which you reverted to "As the Punisher already does extra damage towards armor, it renders anti-armor ammo such as Armor-Piercing Ammo obsolete--unless your playstyle revolves around shooting through cover." I feel the former statement is somewhat correct, as there is a noticeable difference in anti-armor capability, and the latter statement is flat out wrong. As I said before, no other weapon with armor piercing ability has this disclaimer, so why should the Punisher, especially when it's not true? --M storch (talk) 17:11, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh that. Well at the time it seemed like removal of content as there was no edit summary given. When no edit summary is given for an edit, it makes it hard to determine whether or not someone is either correcting information, or simply doing something because they found something different, which is also why we ask users to leave them. If it is incorrect, then it does need to go or be changed, but a summary goes a long way. Lancer1289 (talk) 17:29, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I'll keep that in mind for future edits. I'm here to help out, but I'm new and don't know the proper procedures. Thanks for all the help. --M storch (talk) 18:13, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * The only advice I can really offer is that you just need to feel the waters and feel your way around. Every wiki is different and therefore you just need to feel around. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:28, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

My idea
Hello. I wonder if there is any place for the idea i had in that blog of mine as you said i can't have it here (for personally, pretty silliy reasons) I know of ME fanfiction but i wonder if they do stuff like that there.

Could you give me a link to the fanfic site?

--Hello (talk) 15:33, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I unforunetly cannot help there as I don't know any links. I know there are some, but just google ME fan fiction and you should get a few. I do know of two on Wikia's network itself but again I can't remember the links. Lancer1289 (talk) 15:48, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Deleting blog comments
Can you delete blog comments without them being violations of the rules? If possible, I'd like the comment thread that started with TW6464 and devolved into arguments about blog spamming deleted as none of it was germane to my post. If not, then I'll just ignore it. Thanks! Trandra (talk) 17:51, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Have your tried telling us to stop? I'd rather we start dealing with problems ourselves then keep running to admins at the first sign of trouble. --Mr. Mittens (talk) 17:53, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Tranda, to be fair, I was merely stating that I had the same character builder blog. I was not trying to advertise anything TW6464 (talk) 17:58, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not trying to start anything TW6464 (talk) 18:01, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Since it is your blog Trandra so I can delete comments at your request. I shall delete it now.
 * However, Mittens does have a point, you could try asking them to stop before coming to one of us. At the same time Mittens, some people just won't stop even if you tell them to. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:00, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Lancer. As you said, "some people just won't stop even if you tell them to" so I wanted the comments deleted (and am unable to do so on my own). Lately I've been around less and less because the overall feel of the wiki has been very dismal, and I just didn't want to get involved with it on my blog post. Trandra (talk) 18:07, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well I've been thinking of starting a few projects to get the focus back on content and away from the blog scene. I hope you will stick around to see what I came up with. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:10, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It will probably take me a day or so to write everything up, get things organized, and then present it in the project forum. Lancer1289 (talk) 18:17, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

quick formatting questions

 * 1) #REDIRECT Citadel: Negotiator's Request is this how to make a redirect
 * 2) do we need voting approval on redirects for "obvious" keywords (ex. Elias Keeler -> Citadel: Negotiator's Request or Kaidan Alenko/Unique Dialogue -> Kaidan Alenko/Unique dialogue)

having multiple pictures of enemies
Lancer, I was wondering: why do we only have one picture for enemies that have multiple forms? For example, the Blue suns soldier page has only the human and Batarian version shown, but there is a turian version, too. What I'm asking is, is it possible to have multiple pictures for enemies that have multiple forms?--TW6464 (talk) 13:06, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * The template wouldn't be able to handle multiple forms, and even then, there really is no need. One picture is more than enough. Even if one were to combine them into the same format, then no detail would be shown. Lancer1289 (talk) 23:48, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Ok thank you--TW6464 (talk) 13:06, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

An odd question.
This is kind of a weird question, but because I know other wikis have a policy against this, I'll ask. Is it possible for a user who was banned to become a senior editor, or even an administrator?--Legionwrex (talk) 23:44, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. As far as I know there is no policy preventing that, but I'd recommend asking Spart that question since he'd be able to give you a definite answer. Lancer1289 (talk) 23:46, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, well thank you for pointing me in the right direction.--Legionwrex (talk) 23:50, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Unjustly Banned.
Is there a place to go if you are unjustly banned and wish to report a admin, because after this run in I had with Charles Saracino, I would like to do that. Why don't you take a look here and tell me if this ban was just, --Legionwrex (talk) 03:38, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

I would contact a member of the staff over on Wikia Central, because that's pretty obtuse.

Vandalism Spotted.
This user vandalised the Citadel: Scan the Keepers page. I have since reverted the edit made by the user.
