Academic research about Minecraft
I'm a member of a university research group working on multi-user CAD systems. We figure Minecraft is the most succesful multi-user 3d design package in history and we ought to be able to learn a lot from how its users collaborate, so we're working on an academic paper about Minecraft. We're doing this through a survey. We're also interested in talking to a few people who know a lot about collaboration in Minecraft. So, would you like to take the survey? (Won't let me post a link yet, but we can figure something out.) Redistribute it to other people who might be interested? Talk about any of this?

Also, it looks like there is some other academic research on Minecraft out there (e.g. Google "mining data from minecraft Alex Leavitt"). Would it be appropriate to create a wiki page about minecraft in academic research? I obviously have a self-promoting reason to do it, but it might be of general interest as well.

Thanks Quatroking
Thanks for dealing with all the vandilism and stuff on the admin noticeboard.THANKSDog gey Talk to me here:D

Hi!
I'm a new user here: DinnerBlazter1. I want to make articles in Romanian, but I don't know how. Because you are an Administrator, can you help me adding the Romanian language? -- DinnerBlazter1 14:26, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just start a project and start making subpages using the /ro suffix. For example, Minecraft Wiki/ro. Take a look at the other projects, especially the finished ones, and see how they did it. By the way, if you really want to take this on seriously, raffle up some Romanian friends and have them help you :) Thanks for contributing to the wiki!--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  14:42, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Would we need latin?
I was wondering is latin needed for a new project. I know its dead. But, I speak very well in it. Dog gey  My talk page!!!
 * Not really, I personally don't see much need in languages that aren't being used around the world in terms of populations.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  13:00, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for telling me.i would have had to pretty much do the whole thing by myself anyway :D Dog gey  My talk page!!!

I can speak Latin too. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Japejoop1 (Talk&#124;Contribs). Please sign your posts with

Suggestion for Wiki Rules
Quatroking,

I've looked though the Rules, but I haven't seen one about signatures or attribution on article pages. I think a rule regarding the use of signatures/attribution should be addressed in the rules. My suggestion is that signatures or any form of attribution are not allowed on articles and article sub-pages. Signatures are only allowed on Talk pages. I think this is a fundamental guideline that should be listed since new users might sign article pages or attribute edits in the Tutorials to themselves or their friends. Examples: ,

And to prevent further misunderstandings, the exceptions for the Known bugs sub-pages should be stated as a bullet under the signature rule to make it more visible. (I almost flamed another user because of a misunderstanding (a nd my failure to read the page guidelines thoroughly due to the long paragraph format on that page, or just my rushing through the edits and skimming). Hope you understand - Asterick6 03:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see any reason why this shouldn't. I've always known this as a rule and I think the majority of the userbase, including anonymous users know this as well. Quite frankly you surprised me Astrick6 by pointing out that it isn't written anywhere. --Moxxy 03:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I think many (most?) people intuit this, but it doesn't hurt to have it stated explicitly. Maybe add it to rule #18, since that one concerns signatures already? -- Orthotope 04:07, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarification: My suggestion is to help other users (account or IP) to know about the signature usage guidelines, not because I made a mistake of putting a signature on an article page and want a reminder. That reminder is for the sub-bullet about the Known bugs pages, which I did not know and missed the long paragraph in the beginning, which resulted in my removing of another user's signatures. (I'm getting a bit defensive for some reason...how immature...I'll need another wikibreak soon.) - Asterick6 04:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You didn't come of as defensive at all. Even if you were I wouldn't blame you as a certain user who you've dealt with lately has pushed my anger much further. Anyways since me, Orthotope and yourself are all longtime Minecraft wiki editors and in agreement, I'm positive Quatroking would agree as well. If your solution is to make it more clear on the Bug page itself I would add it yourself and Quatroking can look over it when he gets on. On the off chance he disagrees with it he can just undo the edit. --Moxxy 05:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

And...
Yeah, I have two other friends that like Minecraft. I'll make pages soon. By the way, I saw you wrote on your User Page the sentence 'I am the Boss' in different languages. Can you write in Romanian? The translate is "Eu sunt şefu' pe-aici!" -- DinnerBlazter1 21:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, um, yeah, can I copy the text and images from an English article and just translate it? -- DinnerBlazter1 21:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Start a translate project and gather up some people, then feel free to start translating!--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  21:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Why did you do this?
I mostly edit Indev pages. I have no idea why did you revert the page from my edits. I will now move it back, with slight changes, not ruining the page... Ldtvproductions 11:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * All information you put on the page is false; Rana, as well as the other mobs made by dock, never had animation because the model format never worked properly. Rana also only dropped apples, and her hitbox was throughout her body but not her head. Have you even played Indev, 2.5 years ago?--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  12:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually yes, i did. When she steps in water, she stays awhile, and then she falls and disappears, dropping resources... So it maybe wan't 100% true. Animations were from Notches blog in a picture . SO that's it, i'm just a nostalgic player of InDev, scrapping some details i see there... But i have no idea how Rana came there before Dock - check the dates...

Bot and AWB access
Hello, I'm Jeffw. I'm an experienced wiki user of five years, and I've began to edit the Minecraft Wiki. Recently, I've discovered that no bots are active on the wiki! This is most unfortunate, since I needed to have some work done. I've used AWB many times on the English Wikipedia and it would be great if you could approve of my plan to make a bot account, User:Jeffbot, and perform automated tasks for everyone in the community. Thanks. -- Jeffw  (talk) (contribs) 21:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Cleaning Admin board in German MC Wiki
Hi Quatroking, the German MC Wiki is cleaning its Admin board and like to remove you from the Admin list. Your last activity in our Wiki was 2012 but as a founder you are always mentioned in our history section. Greetings Sumpfhuette (talk) 12:47, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Inactivity
Hello! I wanted to let you know that there was a discussion, which can be found here, proposing to demote admins who have been inactive for over a year. The community fully supported this so the proposal passed. Because your last edit was in January 2017, these conditions are applicable to you. You will have about a week to respond to this before I request a bureaucrat to remove your admin rights, and I'll also send you an email as you may not check the wiki anymore. If you are demoted, you'll be able to request that your rights be added back anytime if you ever need them. Also, please know that this is not any kind of punishment and will not be held against you in the future or be treated as a black mark. Please let me know if you have any questions or objections. Cheers and thank you for your service here.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 23:59, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
