Reverted edits
Dude why did you revert my  change?Zainchupacabra (talk) 23:15, October 1, 2018 (UTC)

Why are you changing what I write?Zainchupacabra (talk) 23:19, October 1, 2018 (UTC)

I put a summary what more do you want?

What does that mean? I did everything correctly, why are you still undoing it?

About your operation
Why exactly do you revert my edits in Monkey Business and Surveying the Score? Based on my over 10k edits in Wikipedia, I learned that Reverting should be and only be used in vandalism, and I don't see how my edits, fulfill that criteria. Thus, I would like to know why you did such operation.-AleIp (talk) 17:03, October 2, 2018 (UTC)

Drones
Thanks for the clarification, Smurf. It was pretty simplier than what I imagined, but you certainly answered the fourth question XD. -- SWAT Cam F     03:48, October 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Interesting. The idea of being randomized in each launch can be a good point, and also gives an idea how they operate (like the red cannon-like thing on the quad rotor one, which may be the stun gun). Just to note, I assume they are invisible on radar, because I have seen on videos how players can actually see and destroy the drone with weapons. -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 05:15, October 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, scratch the first part. Seems like only the quad rotor drone is the only option for the Terrorbyte. Now I figured out on the "formerly-leaked" renders that the helicopter version lack the rotating blade texture for it. -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 20:50, October 16, 2018 (UTC)

Dude, why did you removed the fact that it has Maserati Quattroporte headlights on the F620 article? You know, if you look into it, the head lights may resemble the Maserati Quattroporte V. I know it's based between the GranTurismo and Jaguar XK, but head lights look really similar to the Maserati Quattroporte V.

Simeon Car Export Requests
Hello there. I am sorry, but you seem to be wrong about this subject by undoing my edit, as the values I entered are the correct ones for the normal list, and they do not have a range. You may keep the article that way, but it will be giving false information. PandaTacos ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 20:59, November 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * Where am I wrong about it? Do I have to post screenshots from every vehicle to prove my point about they being fixed values, unless you damage the vehicle is being delivered? PandaTacos ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 21:05, November 10, 2018 (UTC)

Pop-up article previews
Hello, Sean, it has been a while! I was wondering whether it is possible to make the GTA Wiki display pop-up article previews (like on Wikipedia) when a link is hovered over. If it is, I feel that a Community Noticeboard discussion should be held about implementing it here, as I feel that it would be a useful addition to the wiki.

TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 13:27, November 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * This already exists as a plugin, and I have tried it. It is currently in "Beta" stages and is, unfortunately, terirble. It is extremely buggy, tends to unload and often takes several refreshes. Moreover, customizing the css for it to work on your wiki is required and the default look is pretty terrible. It also doesn't display correctly. Until a better alternative is made, or until it is finished, I would personally avoid it. Monk (Bureaucrat.png Bureaucrat ) Talk 13:49, November 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * I see. I was not aware that there was a plugin for the pop-up previews. If it is indeed that bad, you are probably right that we should wait until the feature is more properly developed. Thank you for telling me about it.

Regarding redirects from UK English spelling
Good day, Sean. I am aware that you are quite particular about superfluous redirects, so I would like to seek your opinion about this: do you believe that it is appropriate to have redirects from the British spelling of certain articles, such as Organisations > Organizations?

RE: Another one?
Yep, that's clearly him. I reported him to the VSTF a week ago in hopes of having him issued a global/range block, in order to prevent more sockpuppet accounts, but so far no action has been taken (or not enough, at least). As for his current account, I'm putting you in charge of blocking it :P cos I don't want to seem like the one who always deals with him (and maybe get rid of his pointless message above?) 10:35, December 10, 2018 (UTC)

Question
In the Mission "I Fought the Law..." while Franklin is Racing the 2 Kids, i noticed along the way, the Cheetah Suddenly Slows down, and Starts Driving like normal Traffic. Would that be Trivia or a Glitch?

Deleted missions in GTA Online
Hi!

I'm sorry to bother you, but I think we need to speak with each other. Listen, I didn't write false information to GTA Online missions. Those missions (3 Versus and 9 other missions) are no longer available! Please check it in GTA Online. Believe me, I'm right.

Have a good day! Bye!

--NikitaDragovich (talk) 21:06, December 12, 2018 (UTC)

And what about the other co-op missions? All of them are available on the map, or just the Coveted? And what about those 3 versus missions? They are available on the map too?

--NikitaDragovich (talk) 21:19, December 12, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, you are right. Sorry for the false informations. I'm glad, because we've found the truth. Thank you! :) Bye!

Regarding the ability to open Personal Aircraft doors
Hello, Sean, do you by any chance know when the ability to control the doors on Personal Aircraft was added? I cannot remember whether it was added with the actual Smuggler's Run update that added Personal Aircraft, or if it was added in a later update or patch.

TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 22:48, December 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * It was added in the Smuggler's Run update. I tested it immediately after release on a Titan. Monk (Bureaucrat.png Bureaucrat ) Talk 13:47, December 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for confirming, Monk. I needed that information to confirm whether an update to a "Bugs/Glitches" note regarding the Cargobob's rear cargo door that I made was in fact accurate.
 * TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 00:09, December 19, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Re 2 Questions
Thank you for the reply. Please let me know if and when you do find out about the exact patch that enabled the doors of Personal Aircraft to be controlled via the Interaction Menu.

As for the UK spelling redirects, I will follow your guidelines regarding their creation. Since you have indicated that Organisations is a suitable redirect for creation, I have created it.

UPDATE: Never mind about the Personal Aircraft doors, it seems that Monk has already answered the question.

Subway system
Although the subway system is not accessible in GTA: CW, is it necessary to include the (overground) stations and the re-routes seen in that game in the related articles? Again, I am aware that the system is inaccessible, but I wonder if it is necessary to add info related to the system as some nice-to-know stuff, given that by following the tracks from below, it is possible to see how the stations and the routes are seen in GTA: CW like this one.

Regarding the Stone Hatchet in Red Dead Redemption II
Hello, Sean, I do not know whether you can help me with this, as I do not know whether you play Red Dead Redemption 2, but do you have any idea where I need to go, or what I need to do, in order to unlock the Stone Hatchet in the game? Specifically, I am trying to find it in Red Dead Online. I have completed the Bounty Target missions in Grand Theft Auto Online, but I cannot work out how to acquire the weapon in Red Dead Online.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 03:37, January 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * Actually, I have not yet checked the burial site in Red Dead Redemption 2, but the primary reason for that is because I was trying to find out whether the location only holds the weapon in the Story Mode, or Red Dead Online as well, since travelling in Red Dead Redemption 2 takes quite some time, especially to areas without a Fast Travel Post. I have searched quite extensively using multiple search engines, as well as on YouTube, but all the information that I could find pertains to the weapon in Story Mode, not Red Dead Online, and nothing is mentioned anywhere about its availability – or lack thereof – in the latter. I am assuming, then, that you do not know, so I may as well check for myself whether the Stone Hatchet is indeed at the native burial site in Red Dead Online. I will let you know whether it is or is not available once I have checked, and I might also update the Stone Hatchet's article on the Red Dead Wiki if it is not. Thank you anyway for your help.

Re: What are you doing?
I am afraid that I fail to see the problem with the reminder that I posted to this user: I was merely following protocol, since he was not issued with a reminder in the past. The template that you used does not provide a parameter for a personal message, and my reminder is essentially the same as yours, only written in a different way.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 01:54, January 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * My sincerest apologies, I actually did not realize that you had already posted a reminder on the user's Talk page. I was halfway through posting that reminder last night, but I fell asleep, and when I finished composing and posting the reminder, the system did not inform me of an edit conflict for an unknown reason, resulting in me being completely unaware of the conflict until you told me just now (I did not check the edit history). Once again, my apologies for the unintentional removal of your reminder.


 * By the way, with regards to the "ImageDeleted" template's ability to accept personal messages, what I actually meant is that the template does not provide for the posting of a letter-style message, as the template is structured more closely to the "Warning" and "Block" templates in terms of the layout and parameters. In any case, as I noted above, it was not my intention to remove your reminder.


 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:08, January 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * Just to be on the safe side to avoid any further misunderstandings like this, I will leave a note in the edit summary if I issue a reminder or warning message on a user's Talk page that takes longer than half an hour to compose, and for which I did not receive an edit conflict warning, which will appear exactly as follows: (edit time longer than 30 minutes; no edit conflict warning). Please look out for this message in the edit history if you notice any apparent removal of your messages by me, as it is likely unintentional.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:45, January 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * I was not aware of that forum post. I actually agree, and I will begin following that guideline from now on. Of course, I will continue using the "ImageLicense" template for images that have been corrected rather than deleted. Thank you for pointing the aforementioned post out.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:53, January 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for notifying me. By the way, I have made some improvements to the "ImageDeleted" template. Please feel free to have a look at it and correct any errors if they exist. The template should now allow for a signature to be placed inside the template itself, rather than having to sign after it. Also, I made coding changes that will allow the template to be used with no parameters if desired.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 11:18, January 11, 2019 (UTC)


 * I see that you have indeed made changes to the template. Could you please clarify exactly why you removed the generic message that I set to appear in the event of no first parameter being specified? I read your edit summary, but it was unclear to me.

General or specific message on my profile talk page?
Hey I noticed you put a message on my profile talk page about images and copyright selections. The image I uploaded for my profile I already selected ingame screenshot.

Well, technically I got it off my social clubs page, but it's still my own made picture from within the game.

Was it a specific message for this instance or a general 'these are the rules' kind of thing? Crizyz (talk) 13:22, January 12, 2019 (UTC)Crizyz


 * Hello, the three images you uploaded of the Patriot glitch you found are not marked as screenshots, so that's why Kiwismurf left you that notice. <font size="4" color="#62e564" face="Arial">Slash <font face="Broadway" color="#ff99cc">M ,<font face="Broadway" color="#0066ff">C 13:32, January 12, 2019 (UTC)


 * I got that now. Thanks for the info. Also, any way to get notifications in the wiki page instead of just through mail? Don't see it in the preferences, or I'm just blind. Crizyz (talk) 13:46, January 12, 2019 (UTC)Crizyz


 * Good day, in answer to your question, certain notifications, such as when someone posts a message on your Talk page, appear in the wiki itself when you are signed in, but unfortunately notifications such as when a page that you are following is edited will only be sent to you as an e-mail message.

Regarding the "ImageDeleted" template
Hello again, Sean. In case you have missed it, you still have not replied to my question about the changes that you made to the "ImageDeleted" template. Please answer whenever you are able to. Personally, I would prefer some form of generic message to appear in the event of an unspecified first field (it does not have to be worded in the way that I worded it), but I would like to hear your own reasoning.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 07:35, January 13, 2019 (UTC)


 * You make a fair point. However, I personally still like the idea of a generic message. Since, as you stated, the template may be used to notify users of non-Media Policy violations concerning images, I suggest that it should read as follows: "...one or more aspects of the GTA Wiki Policy or the Wikia Terms of Use". If you still do not agree with this suggestion, I will leave the template as it is.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 08:22, January 13, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will do so. Thank you for your input.

As for my Timeline (HD Universe) edit, Michael is known to be the oldest GTA protagonist yet, and his gravestone in the Prologue clearly says ‘1965’, so it doesn’t make sense that you made Trevor older than him and changed his birth year to 1968. It makes more sense that Michael would be born in 1965, which is evident, and that Trevor would be born in 1968, as he is younger by a few years.

Code issue on the "Reflist" template
Good day, Sean, I have a coding problem for you: on the "Reflist" template, there is an issue with the  parameter, wherein the parameter generates a redlink to the date that is inputted there. I have tried, but I cannot figure out how to correct the problem. Since you are more experienced with coding than I, could you please fix the problem and tell me how you did it so that I may understand the process behind your fix?

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 04:34, January 16, 2019 (UTC)

I am just bumping the above request, as it has been two days since I made it. I understand that you may be busy, and I apologise if you are already aware of the request, but I would appreciate it if the issue could be fixed as soon as possible. Like I mentioned above, I would fix the issue myself, but I do not know how to.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 03:30, January 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for getting back to me. The parameter does not appear to be in the code for the template, so I would assume that it is located in MediaWiki:Common.css. Try looking there when you can.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 03:40, January 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I have fixed the problem myself. As it turns out, I made a mistake in telling you where to look: the template with the offending code was "Cite web" – which I used to cite the reference with the offending redlink – not "Reflist", which was why you could not find the offending parameter. I remembered that I asked the Harry Potter Wiki to make this exact same fix years ago, and therefore reasoned that the problem was likely on the same template. Thank you anyway for your help, and apologies for any inconvenience caused by my mistake.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 04:08, January 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, I am pretty sure that you are correct. Even Wikipedia do not use that access date link anymore, so that must have been a holdover from the time that we did copy the template from them, which obviously was before they themselves removed the linking.

Re: Dummy edits
Yes, you are right, and I suppose that old habits do die hard. I will not make apologies for correcting my typographical errors on Talk pages themselves (or any other namespace messages or edits), but I do apologise for my unnecessary edit summaries, which I will be sure to cease doing. In fact, if you wish, you may block me if you happen to notice me posting such edit summaries, as I am sometimes unaware that I am doing so due to it being a bad habit. As for Talk page grammatical corrections, I will be happy to not make edits solely to correct such errors on your Talk page (or anyone else's) if they specifically ask me to stop, but as a rule I will continue to do so. Since I assume that you do not wish me to make such corrections, I will stop on your page, and I will no longer correct grammar in my already-posted messages unless it is done alongside a larger edit such as a new message or addition to an old one. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by my edit summaries and minor grammatical edits to your Talk page.

Additionally, I should also mention that I sometimes cannot help having to make multiple edits, especially on pages with a high amount of code or templates that may not show up correctly in the VisualEditor during editing, or on very large or text-laden pages, including pages with a large amount of source code, like on the Grand Theft Auto V article. However, I will continue to try and cease doing so. I should also point out that I do tend to edit individual sections on large articles where I notice an error, rather than the entire article, which prevents me from easily noticing any other errors until I have saved the edit, especially when I edit using the classic editor.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 04:10, January 24, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the pointers. As I said in my last message, I intend to continue correcting my grammatical errors in messages in standalone edits when I see them, though users who do not wish this to occur (such as yourself) may request me not to do so. I do it for personal reasons, as I am extremely particular about correct spelling and grammar, especially in my own messages, which was actually why I began editing here in the first place back in 2015: I noticed the atrocious grammar on many articles at the time.


 * As for the videos issue on the Grand Theft Auto V article, I was actually unaware of any widespread issue until now, and I was merely fixing the problem that I encountered on that article in particular. Since I assume that you are already taking care of the more widespread issue on the Grand Theft Auto IV/Videos page, I will leave you to it, but feel free to ask me if you require any help.

Avenger
Hello Smurf. How's going?

Well, just to let you know, I have Noirlime's images for the Avenger to be uploaded, but part of the Current Design Gallery is occupied by some of your images.

My idea is to keep the front/rear quarters of the vehicle with both flight modes and move the cannon and interior map images on the Image Gallery. The rest of the images, well... depends if you want to keep them, as the ones with "Turbo-prop" mode, the interior and the first-person view images would be replaced with the ones I want to upload. In that way, I could keep "balance" between Noirlime's screenshots and yours.

So, what do you say? Thanks in advance. -- SWAT Cam F     23:10, January 24, 2019 (UTC)


 * I see. It's just that the set is simply a stock Avenger in "Turbo-prop" mode, unless I improvise and use another one for both flight modes (maybe the front ones?). As for the other two images: Yes, I will keep the interior in the Image Gallery, but the cannon is the only image we could have for the weapons, at least until newer images with all cannons are available. -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 23:58, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

I was actually aware that it was not perfectly square, but it was not easy to correct for me, as I used to crop the image, which does not appear to have an easy way to accurately create a perfectly squre image crop.

Re: Broken svg files
Actually, I did the exact same thing that you did (I downloaded the SVG file from Wikipedia), but the flag kept becoming corrupted, so I gave up and redirected the page to "File:Flag of Slovenia.png". Do you know what the problem was?

I see that you are now experiencing the same problem that I did. Please tell me what the problem was when you fix it.

 * Good work on the checklist, it is very helpful. I have made additional notes about adding Staff artworks and flags to the Staff page and "Gtawiki staff" template if necessary, and also made notes that the flag does not have to be the country of residence of the Staff member (as mine is not, since I do not live in Singapore, but Australia), as well as minor grammatical changes.

 * Thank you for the explanation. May I ask how you actually modify the SVG source code?

 * I have split the discussion header to match the change on my own talk page. Apologies for the very late reply, I was – and still am – dealing with a family tragedy (the death of my mother), and as such I will be semi-active for some time. Thank you for correcting the Slovenia flag issue. I must say that I am surprised that you went through that much trouble to fix the problem, as I would have simply applied the "lazy" fix and created a redirect to a PNG image of the flag, as it would have the same result of allowing the flag to be used with the "Flagicon" template.

Deleted page
Why did you delete the merryweather dilantdette page?S.hippiecat (talk) 21:50, February 8, 2019 (UTC) i would like a reasoning please

Hello, please forgive my lack of understanding on how these sites work. This is the first time editing and responding. Now then, my edit to "The Doctor" was made moments after just playing the mission "Have a Heart" where the character appears. I've been a fan of Anthony Cumia (Radio Show Host) for many years and notices it was his voice right away. I don't have any direct sorces documenting that it is him, but I can assure you that it is. He also does other voices in the game (Pisswasser Singer) so it isn't a stretch on my part that it's his voice. I would appreciate if you would undo the change you made, But if you do require written confirmation, I'll understand your decision to omit it. Thank you for your time and patients, I am new to this don't know how this all works. Zherry (talk) 01:39, February 10, 2019 (UTC)

Regarding my error on the Potshot article
Hello, Sean, I noticed that you corrected an error that I made removing information about the "Potshot" mission only being available on the Play Job list on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Grand Theft Auto Online. My apologies for the error, but I must ask whether the mission is even available on the enhanced version of the game: I have never actually played that particular mission, so I know little about it.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 19:15, February 11, 2019 (UTC)


 * I see. I have improved the grammatical style of the sentence to make it more clear that the mission is still available via the corona in the enhanced version, just not via the Play Job menu. Could you please tell me the names of all the other contact missions that are only available via the corona so that I may make the same change to those pages?

Regarding a deleted image
Hello, Sean, may I ask why you deleted this image? I was about to add it to The Families article myself.

I see that you have answered my question on the Talk page of the user who uploaded the image. I have no idea as to whether the map was accurate or not, so I will trust your judgement on it.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:25, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Not a problem, and that also explains why the image was orphaned. May I ask how you knew that the map was incorrect?
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:29, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Heh, this reminds me of this incident from my early days of editing this wiki. In any case, thank you for the explanation, even though we had to talk over each other a bit to get the message out!
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:34, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Is it even possible to draw a hard-bordered turf map of The Families? If so, I feel that we should put an "Images" template on The Families article.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:46, February 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello again, Sean. It appears that you may have missed a question in my above message (quite understandable, since we were messaging over each other at the time that I sent the message): I was asking whether it is even possible to draw a hard-bordered map of The Families turf, and if so, whether an "Images" template should be placed on the article to encourage users to upload such a map. Please get back to me when you are available.


 * By the way, I have separated the below message with a subject header of my own creation, since the user who posted the message did not add their own. Feel free to change this if you wish.


 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 01:49, February 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry, perhaps I should have been slightly more clear: while you did indeed answer my first question in your earlier message, I specifically was wondering whether you feel that users should be encouraged to upload as accurate a map as possible, that is not misleading like the one that you deleted.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:10, February 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * I must split hairs here and point out that you said that it was almost impossible to create an accurate map, not that it was actually impossible. In any case, I will take that as a "no" to my question. I do have a habit of reading very deeply into the wording of statements – sometimes a little too deeply, as it seems that I did here, and for that I apologise.
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:42, February 19, 2019 (UTC)

You make a good point. To be honest and frank with you, I did not think that it was necessary either, but I felt that, if there was even a slight chance for an undisputed, accurate map to be created, it would benefit the wiki, regardless of my own personal opinion as to whether it is necessary or not. However, if any turf map could be potentially disputed due to the blurred turf lines of The Families in Grand Theft Auto V/Online, then the wiki is probably better off without such a point of contention.

Braking
Thanks for correcting the imperator page, I cannot believe I put break instead of brake! my head is drifting so far away these days lol The sad thing is that I only just noticed that I put it as "break" due to your correction, I had visited that page mulitple times since my initial edits on it. Must acquire better observation skills.-- The Cruentus ( Talk ) 12:09, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Thank you sir for your guidance. I will definitely try to work on it and improve as i go forward.

For licensing images I upload them first and then manually add license to all of them as I found it somewhat easy then the one you mentioned. Can I continue doing that way?

But some images required to be cropped thats why i do it as i mostly use Snip and sketch tool to capture screenshots.

And one thing are my uploads good? and what better I can do to improve?Steve316 (talk) 12:53, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Infobox technical issue
Hello, Sean. I do not know whether you can fix this, but there has been a relatively minor, but longstanding, issue with captions used with images in Infoboxes: regardless of what code is used, no formatting modifiers (italicisation, emboldening, size changes, etc.) appear in the captions. Additionally, attempting to add formatting modifiers to the text of an external link does make the changes appear, but also duplicates the link text, creating one copy of the text that is linked, and another that is not (see this diff). This issue appears to affect all the Infoboxes. If you have any idea of how to fix the problem, please do so.

 * I was afraid that you would say that. I do seem to recall bringing this matter up with Monk years ago, and I am surprised that Wikia has yet to fix the problem after all this time. Thank you anyway.
