Helloher's Absence
Hi TG, I just heard from Helloher on Gametechmods that his internet is acting up, and he can't get onto the Wiki. He hopes to have it resolved soon. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas. ( My Talk )''' 00:01, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. I had a similar problem recently. Does this mean anything for the rest of us, though?  TG    (t    c)  04:35, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, that's that problem sorted out. It's good to be able to get back here. Thanks for sorting the featured content, sorry I wasn't able to before I lost the ability to access the wiki.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  15:15, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Fact you rejected
I thought rather than continually edit spamming the Did You Know artcile i would discuss here what i was trying to say.

Sting/S3 has indeed faced the Firestorm team 3 times and either was flipped out or brokedown and failed to qualify. The 3 occasions the robots met are:


 * Series 2 trials as Sting and Groundhog. Sting brokedown while Groundhog was overturned by Matilda. Sting was eliminated due to being immobilised longer.


 * Series 6 Semi-Finals Round 2: Firestorm flipped S3 near the sidewall and due to the shape of S3 went OOTA.


 * Extreme 2 All-Stars: This fight also contained Bigger Brother. Both robots went for S3 until Bigger Brother flipped S3 OOTA thus continuing the trend.

I also didn't actually notice that ironically Sting 2 and Firestorm just happened to be in the same heat in Series 3. However as you said, Diotior defeated Sting 2 thus making this not count.

I will not resubmit the fact until i get the OK for it to count. If it does get resubmitted, then it definately needs rewording to make it clear what is being said.

All the best Dan Dandaman012 09:51, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean now, I thought you were referring to Sting 2, rather than Extreme 2. Try rephrasing the fact (3/5 times Team Sting was eliminated by Team Firestorm) and resubmit it.  TG    (t    c)  11:42, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Eric
Sorry to ask TG, but why is the Eric article a stub?--Rammingspeed 17:54, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It probably shouldn't be. You can remove the tag.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  00:48, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Series 3 Bin Candidates
Sorry, I must have mised them. I'll do them now.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  10:07, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ramming Bots
Is there a page on rammers? And if not, please may I make one? BuggyBash666 06:57, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Static Blades has ramming robots with spikes or rams, but nothing on robots like Robot the Bruce. Best thing to do would be to write it up here - User:BuggyBash666/Sandbox, so we can have a look.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:03, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Series 3 Audited
Am I allowed to create heat pages for the Redone Series 3 we're doing? It's been about a week now and they haven't kicked off yet...--Rammingspeed 17:13, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Panic Attack
Just out of curiousity. In your top ten faves, you said that Firestorm had trounced robots you immensely dislike. Does this mean you hate Panic Attack?--Rammingspeed 20:10, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Of course not, I am referring to Bolt from the Blue, Dantomkia and Mute.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  21:35, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, right. Have to agree with you there.--Rammingspeed 08:28, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

New subject, no(w) header, but hey.
Sorry about this TG, but would you mind changing Heat D to its proper format? After my computer has crashed twice in attempts to do so, I've lost the will to do it. I will do the rest afterwards, don't worry.--Rammingspeed 17:31, August 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Mate, I'm so busy that I can't. I'm sure you've noticed my significant lack of activity - for that reason. Someone else will have to.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  23:03, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Cyrax 2
This IP address has made a page for a robot that didn't take place in any series of Robot Wars, and therefore has no relevance to this wiki: 94.196.83.84 BuggyBash666 13:17, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Adminship
This is a shock TG. Thank you, and I'll do everything in the power you have given me to keep the wiki running smoothly until you and RA2 are back.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  14:37, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see. Thank you.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  06:04, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about the Team KaterKiller page. It was poor. I'll try to do better next time i make a page. Once again sorry." H-DRules  (talk)  "23:34, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Idea
Why not have a Genral Discussion Page in the forums? It could have topics about the wikia and how and where to improve it, and would be a place to post those topics that don't quite fit into The Pits or The Arena. - Bennyflop 12:25 5/9/10


 * Thats what the Community Portal Talk Page is for.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  11:34, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, thanks very much. I'll check it out right away! - Bennyflop 18:09 5/9/10

Im confused
Im confused did you found this wiki or someone else?MattPPA13 23:29, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Christophee founded the wiki in 2008 and was made admin and bureaucrat. I joined in 2009 and was promoted to admin and then bureaucrat by Christophee. Christophee resigned earlier this year, leaving me as the only bureaucrat.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  01:04, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

i have an image of either Automatic Jack or Death Jester but i dont know which one it is

Reporting excessive vandalism
A user under the IP address 82.132.136.204 has made multiple false edits to the Splinter article, as part of an apparent influx of people who are not satisfied with keeping their own versions of series 6 and 8 to themselves. Glad to help, TheStigisaRobot 08:39, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal
This guy is a vandal. Reverted his edits on the Eleven page. Matt (Talk) 13:24, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to report somebody who has been repeatedly vandalising the S.M.I.D.S.Y. page. I don't know how to link his/her IP address, but I can say that in the section of series 5 that questions why the fight was restarted, this person is changing the reasoning that it may have been restarted due to Chaos 2's champion status from my, (quote) "Pure speculation", to, in their words, (quote) "blatantly obvious to anyone with even half a brain cell." I keep changing it back, as it's unknown if this is truly the case, but after a while, it's always being switched back by that user, as though it's hard fact. --LightningStorm93 20:41, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thank you for your kind welcome, TG. I'll do my best to keep anything I contribute to a valid and neutral viewpoint. At times, I may inadvertantly seem prejudiced to some robots, but I'll do my best to be fair in anything I add. Thanks again.

Recentchangestext
I'm thinking now that we no longer have the sidebar to provide all the links we need, we can add some of them to the Mediawiki:Recentchangestext template instead. I think links to the Forums and the Job List would fit on that template quite nicely, and maybe there are some other links you'd like to add too. I'd add them myself only I don't have the power to do it. Christophee (talk) 14:28, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Profile Page Deleted
The user User:Maxlilion deleted the whole of the content on your profile page, so I reverted the edit. Just thought you might want to know! Prodworthy 17:31, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * User:Maxlilion is now creating random pages. Maybe he should be banned? Prodworthy 17:52, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Prodworthy, I've warned him, if anything happens again, he'll get a nice long ban.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  20:10, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * He, he. Glad to be of service sir! Prodworthy 20:13, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Anniversary
Hey TG. As the wiki's third anniversary will be here in a week's time, I was wondering whether you had any plans to mark it in some way. It may be too late to plan something big, but hopefully we can come up with something. Christophee (talk) 13:55, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm probably the wrong person to ask mate, I thought up the 18 month and the 2 year, and I'm out of ideas. Sorry.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:54, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okey doke. I'll open it up to the community. It would be a shame to just let it pass. Christophee (talk) 13:03, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Rotor Osche
Hey, please can you delete the page I created called "Rotor Osche". The source I was using spelt the name differently and I did not check for alternative spellings before creating a new page on the wiki

Apologies,

DevilboyScooby 20:27, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you very much for the promotion. I will do my best to give out badges and awards to the deserving users. By the way, do you have a new page in mind for the featured article? You said I should leave it to you, but I'll do it myself if you would prefer. You have a better idea of which articles are suitable though, so I'll do whichever one you suggest if you don't want to do it yourself. Christophee (talk) 15:22, February 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't mind doing the FAs, but I won't necessarily have a good idea of which pages should be chosen, so I hope you don't mind if I ask you again in future as you have a much better knowledge of which pages are up to scratch. I'll sort out the next FA later on sometime. Christophee (talk) 02:17, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Capitals
Sorry about that. Middle Eye 20:43, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Related pages
I think you ought to know that the related pages heading on all the pages is screwed up. Middle Eye 21:10, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

My apologies
I apologise if I am constantly causing an interference with the flow of the wiki, as I am only trying to do as much as I can to the wiki. But with almost every crucial page on the wiki and almost all of the relevant information on the pages, it's difficult to contribute much more to the wiki. This is why I have created many pages for robots that have failed to qualify for any series, such as Tecumseh, Judge Mech and G-Man. Once again, I apologise for my actions.

Datovidny 16:10, March 1, 2011

Thank you
Thank you so much for getting rid of Maximillion's newest account. I began to get suspicious the instant he edited his old page. CrashBash 09:24, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Page Possibilities
I understand that I have angered you greatly for creating unwanted pages willingly, which is why I am asking for your permission for this first.

As I've relised, there are many images on the wiki of screenshots of TV series robots on the video game, Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction (PC/Xbox). However, only Chaos 2 and Sir Killalot have their own pages for this, is this because nobody has bothered with making the pages or because these two robots are the only ones to deserve them? Basically, I am asking for your permission to create pages for the other robots. Datovidny 20:24, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Apologies for the unwanted edit
I saw that you reverted my edit on the Extreme 1 Middleweight Championship. Looking back, I have to agree with your actions, as it was unprofessional of me to contribute that edit. I'm sorry for adding something so biased, I was merely going on something which I had noticed to be a prevailing opinion amongst a chunk of the community I am familiar with. It will not happen again, and I will do my best to make sure what I contribute will be hard fact and relevant. --LightningStorm93 00:03, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

What?
No offense, but I don't really understand why you had to revert everything that I've done on The Steel Avenger article during the time that I've been on the wiki. You may see that I've made one edit changing the photos back, but this was before I noticed that you'd reverted everything that I've done. I understand that the photo that I uploaded wasn't brilliant, but I'm only trying to help, and without even consulting me, you've wasted a lot of my time that I spent trying to improve the article over the months! In the future, if I do something wrong, please just tell me, or just make one edit yourself, please don't just revert everything I've done, giving me nothing to show for all of my hard work of all of the vital time that I've spent! Datovidny 15:42, March 30, 2011

Re: Ming
Done, you will now find quotes in the Series 5 and War of Independance sections of the Ming article.

Datovidny 07:44, April 1, 2011

Revert Edit after Revert Edit after Revert Edit
Now I'm not holding you specifically responsible, but several different users keep reverting the edits that I'm making on the King Buxton article. I assuming that it is because of the picture that I added to the article of King B Powerworks in Series 7. I make my edits in big chunks, not just little words or images, I have added much to the article, such as quotes and info to the Robot History and facts in the Trivia, but several users keep reverting my edits on the page, getting rid of all of my hard work and time spent, just because they're too ignorant to think that they could just move the image down to the Series 7 section of the page and just replace it with another one for the main image. Instead, they lazily just revert my edit, unaware that I've also been working hard on the rest of the article. I'm coming to you as you could tell me if there's something that I could do, or something that you could do, being an admin, as I won't just stand by and let other people just flush all of my hard work and time spent down the toilet just because the picture I added isn't perfect.

One way or another, I would really appreciate a response from you soon. Datovidny (talk) 13:40, April 14, 2011


 * You can easily just undo the edit of the person you believe has wronged you, if you explain why and stop messing up the picture.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  13:21, April 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * How can you undo an edit? Datovidny (talk) 19:05, April 15, 2011

Concerning your Lists
I know this is a total waste of your time but, if we may, let's take a closer look at Razer's victories. 15 is "bad" maybe. However if you do the same to Chaos 2 and look at their "proper" victories- 12. Hypno-Disc is even worse- at 10. So Razer may almost certainly have been set up to "grace the arena with their total breakdowns" and to win lots of best designs, it's not like it was the only robot to be rigged up to win. I know those lists are your own opinion and I respect that, but sometimes you have to look and the bigger picture, I apologize if this sounds rude or anything offensive, but I'd just like to make myself heard. Thanks. Pkmn Trainer 18:00, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * You seem to have got this from my list...it is true, but I think you'll find it'd be better to bring it up on the list of the talk page, rather than here. CrashBash 06:47, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * PKT, Please do not comment on my talk page if your only purpose is to disagree with me, my email notifies me and I would prefer it to be only relevant questions. You will not convince me differently, so please leave me alone or I will be forced to raise my protection again.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  10:49, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Panic Attack/Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction
I accidentally made a page on Panic Attack in Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction (PC/Xbox), I made this by clicking on the link to the uncreated page on the Appearances in Merchandise section of the Panic Attack article, however, I didn't relise that the link said Panic Attack/Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction and not Panic Attack/Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction (PC/Xbox), I have since created a page with the right name and the exact same information, and changed the link on the Panic Attack page, but I don't know how to delete pages, to delete the original page that I created. I am asking that you either delete the page, or tell me how to delete pages, if I am able to. Datovidny (talk) 19:12, April 15, 2011

Flipper
This seems to have been accepted by the other mods/admins here, but what's your thoughts on my theory that Flipper is named after the famous film dolphin, rather than its weaponary? CrashBash 06:49, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would concede to your point, and your logic is irrefutable. If you are asking to reformat the page, you have my permission to do so, as long as the criticisms are still mentioned as being disproven, rather than pretending that everyone realised from the get-go. However, as I said to Pkmn Trainer above, I would prefer my talk page to be only a place for requests or questions. Thank you.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  10:49, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

About Razer etc
I'm sorry you find me annoying. Pkmn Trainer 15:33, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

King B3
Why use the series 3 picture when the stats sheet clearly says they are accurate to the robots latest appearence? Same for Diotoir. Pkmn Trainer 15:16, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because for notable robots we use an image of high quality as they are the robots that will generally have a high quality image due to there success. It also makes the article look much better than a blurred screenshot. Llamaman201 (talk) 15:33, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also the infobox says that the stats are accurate as of the robot's last appearance, but it says nothing about the image. Christophee (talk) 16:42, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Please don't block me for this but...
How about that redone series 5? Pkmn Trainer 19:06, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sit-and-spin
Ah, sorry about that, made the edit and then thought that it wasn't appropriate to have the same robot linked twice on the page, i'll try not to make the same mistake again. TheStigisaRobot 16:44, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Why not Botwork, Bamm Bamm or Slicer?
I noticed this comment written in one of your lists on why the 2nd World Championships had NEAT Machine representing Holland, rather than Botwork, Bamm Bamm or Slicer. I think I can provide a simple answer: the 2nd World Championship was filmed before the first Dutch series. The big giveaway is that Refbot's countdown system is the same speed as it was for the US series, whilst in the Dutch series, it is slowed down to the same speed as the UK series....it's through these counting system speed that makes it actually quite easy to tell when an episode was filmed.

I hope that answers your queery. Whilst it would have been nice to have one of those three robots, the producers can't predict the future....well, Jonathan Pearce apparantly can (same episode), but that's beside the point. CrashBash 15:29, May 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's very nice, but most of my lists are quite old and probably wrong, so if you find more mistakes please don't tell me, I'm not that interested anymore. Thank you.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  23:45, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
