For being new at this, you're pretty good at editing here. Thanks! There is something though, [[{{void}}|File:Kago]]. It does not break any law, and there wasn't much of a way for you to know, but Metroid Database [http://www.metroid-database.com/contact.php does not like their images used anywhere else] (see point three on that link). Again, it's not illegal for us to do so, but we like to respect that they don't want their graphics used. Don't worry about that image, I'll replace it soon with a much better one :p Keep up the good work, you're well on your way to | For being new at this, you're pretty good at editing here. Thanks!

:Oops. Guess I deleted the image, It was the Kago image, and it had a little "MDb" watermark on it. I'm the one that takes care of images around here, so yeah, I can get picky with images, your uploads are much better then the norm though, so don't worry bout that :p {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 06:49, 13 December 2010 (UTC) | :Oops.

Or did 242 get injected as well? And Question 2. [[Metroid Prime Hunters Logbook#Bioforms]], for the Psycho Bit v4.0 entry, is it a limited scan? Idk, you left it blank, and it looks like a mistake.

::I don't remember the exact wording of it, but I do remember that on the Olympus they said how the Aurora Unit network was down due to the virus, and they developed a vaccine that worked for 242, I might be remembering it wrong though.

:::I am gonna be copying from the trilogy version, but the Space Pirate data and Chozo Lore are already here, with the game distinctions, so i will include ones from both games. I don't think the Creature, Research, or Artifacts have changed, so It should have all versions of the entries. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 20:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

==Images== | |||
There is one thing you need to do when you are uploading images, add <nowiki>{{copyright}}</nowiki> to them. Also while it's not policy but does help when looking for images, can you add some of our other [[:Category:Copyrighted Image Templates|image templates]], it makes searching for images a lot easier than going through [[Special:ListFiles|the file list]] and looking at them one by one. And thanks for working on our ''Hunters'' articles, so nice having less stubs or wanted pages for that game. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Sure thing, I know the hunters images are very low quality, but what do you expect from a handheld system. I will be sure to include the copyright stuff. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 01:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Alright thanks, and small notice ahead of time, if you do use some of those other image templates, you don't need to put the copyright template on the page cause the licensing is already included. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 02:07, 22 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Image Size== | |||
If it's possible, will you upload images that are a little bit bigger than the most recent ones you've uploaded? {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 21:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Those images are the icons for the stage on stage select. I could try to go to the actual area and find a spot to take a picture but they might not be as good. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Alright, the icons still aren't a bad idea to have, so if you do get a screenshot of the area, notify me or another admin so we can move them to something like File:Alinos Perch Icon.jpg cause they still are usable. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 21:19, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Will do, i will put them under icon in the fist place. I am gonna make very generic articles for them all, then go through and make very detailed ones at a later date. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Spelling== | |||
One of our articles may have a spelling errors in its name (I saw this on another wiki but I'd prefer if we do our own homework). The page name is [[Phyrigis]] (and Phyrigisian by extension), but in the logbook entry used for references it is spelled Phrygis, if you get the chance will you check Trilogy to see which one is correct? {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 09:48, 6 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:Yeah, it is Phrygis. I had taken it from the Rundas page and didnt check the actual game. I just checked the real entry and it is Phrygis. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 13:45, 6 February 2011 (EST) | |||
==Vehicle-infobox== | |||
I get it now I think, but just for clarification. You are saying that if the vehicle is a boss, the boss infobox template would be used, ergo having a boss-related section on the vehicle template is unnecessary. Correct? {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 20:57, 11 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Yes. The Vehicle infobox is intended for vehicles that don't serve another purpose. You can only have one infobox on a page, and if that vehicle was also a boss, it would use the boss one. The text i got rid of was probably accidently left there after someone created the vehicle infobox by cutting and pasting the boss one, and then modifying it. They simply forgot to change that part. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== FYI == | |||
It is a violation of [[Metroid Wiki:Policy|our quality standards]] to create articles as stubs. You can either write an article of sufficient length that can be modified later, or you can create a sub-page for works in progress. Thanks and keep contributing.

:Huh, I never realized that. Sorry, just wanted to get up to 1000 articles. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 09:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Yeah, 1000 articles is a nice goal and all, but article boosting isn't acceptable. It's hard to brag about having 1000 articles if a bunch of them are one or two lines. And that part of the quality standards really should be revised. It was placed there after a large-scale vandal attack where the vandal would create articles on the wanted pages list. So our users decided to create them first simply by placing something like: | |||
:::"<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki><br />Missile is a weapon."<br /> | |||
::Creating articles that are stubs is okay, so long as they are acceptable stubs. It's difficult to define an "acceptable stub", but there is a big difference between one-line article-boosting pages and actually starting a page but being unable to provide sufficient information. Most of your articles are alright, Nintendbob, but some are one-line article boosters. You did manage to raise our article count significantly though, props, lol. Rather than deleting some, maybe we could try expanding? Oh btw M4E, the delete template is placed as the very first line of the page, you don't have to delete what was previously there. I haven't seen that delete template in a while lol {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 16:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Moving pages == | |||
That's weird, lol, I don't think regular users should be able to move pages. In any case, those were good moves, but it's weird that you can move them {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Nevamind, I just checked and it seems all autoconfirmed users can move pages, which you are {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:45, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Yeah, I've never moved pages before but the option to has always been there. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 10:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
==MP3 Rooms== | |||
Since you've been doing rooms from the Prime series (and doing very well at it, I might add), it would make sense that you'd move on to Prime 3 rooms after you're done with Prime 2. Are you planning on doing Prime 3 rooms and if so, would you message me when you're almost ready to move on to them? I can create a Rooms-nav for MP3 shortly before you start so it's ready when you create those pages, but I have other projects I've been working on, so I'd rather not do it until it becomes helpful. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 12:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I intend to start on the MP3 rooms as soon as I finish the MP2 rooms, whenever that might be. I might even do the Hunters rooms after, I'll need to see how I feel after MP3. If you could make a nav for the rooms that would be great. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 12:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I'll get on a nav when you reach the Sanctuary rooms then. Have fun. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Oh I will, but only because you said to. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 01:10, 23 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
The nav is finished and awaits your convenience. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 11:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks, I really appreciate the work it must have taken. I haven't been as active as I was since school started, but I plan on being a lot more active in a week or two once some stuff I have going on dies down. --{{:User:Nintendbob/sig}} 19:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::It was fun, and no problem. I understand, real life can be really busy sometimes. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
