Signature fix
Allo, I've done some fixes to your signature as it was causing issues on Opera (specifically, the lazy html tags and lack of "" on attributes were causing green text for the rest of the page). When I get my bot up and running, I'll do a site scan for your sig and apply the fixes globally. In the meantime, just say no to lazy html tags! :P --Gnu32 17:22, 12 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Aah, sorry about that. I originally used the version that I use on Wikia, which didn't leave out attribute quotes or closing tags, since I wasn't sure if HTML Tidy was installed here or not. After experimenting, it looked like it was, so I switched to the much leaner (and much more invalid) version I use on Wikipedia, since Tidy should fill in the missing quotes and closing tags itself (there haven't been any complaints about my sig on WP in Opera, so I assume Tidy actually does what it's supposed to there). If it's not too much trouble, could you play around with my sig, removing quotes and closing tags, to see if there's a shorter version that plays nice in Opera? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

What a coinky-dink. Just as I hit the "Save Changes" button to add Mystery Block to the proper "Removed" section, I get hit with the ol' Edit Conflict. Checked the history and saw you fixed my silly mistake. Thank you kindly :) ''(I has an excuse! I only had 3hrs of sleep last night, and didn't notice the original "Removed" section)'' That Canadian Guy 19:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, no problem. =) Truth be told, if I had my way, that template (and the other navboxes) would look quite different, at least in the edit box, but that's just me (and really has nothing to do with your message ;P ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:06, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Believe me, if I had the time (which I don't), I'd go purchase some cheap site hosting and make my own Minecraft Wiki. And things would be alot different. Much more professional looking, as if it was a Wiki for the FBI (no offence to this Wiki, I'm just a professional kinda guy), and I'd probably do things differently such as splitting up the Mob page into separate pages for each mob (I wouldn't care if half of 'em were stubs. Stubs are awesome.). That Canadian Guy 19:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Without knowing how you feel about Wikia, let me point out the Minecraft Wikia. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:24, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 *   Wikia. Wikia can go   itself. I loved how they introduced the NEW WIKIA SKIN :O, then within like a month of it being released, half of the bigger Wikis (Such as the Pikmin Wikia) said "Screw this" and ended up getting their own site hosting. Wikia just screwed itself over big time. I did use Adblock Plus to get rid of all the Wikia ads on the Monaco theme, but their new theme is just ridiculous and overcrowded with ads. That Canadian Guy 20:45, 2 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I figured you might be like that. =D I can tell you that the main reason the YGO Wikia didn't also leave was because we decided we probably wouldn't be able to compete with our own work (and the fact that we'd have to find a host that could handle the traffic didn't help matters any, either). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:06, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Er, to address an above point, isn't the mob page already split out into separate pages? --JonTheMon 21:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoa. Nice edit. --R ocĸetor talk  07:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, took me a while. =) I'm now trying to decide whether a refactoring of the table would justify the columns it would add. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:51, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Why?
Why did you undo my changes? Where was the fail? --Yulex2 03:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I perhaps worded my edit summary too strongly (especially considering you are a new contributor here), but I reverted because of the change you made to the template's CSS and the fact that you used Sprite directly instead of using BlockLink, resulting in a lot of extra code. In addition, we don't have an article on the Spider Web, or, as far as I know, any sourceable information on its intended purpose. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok I understand now. --Yulex2 10:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Reddit
Yes, I am the same NipplesOfTheFuture from reddit :D I'm also GhettoGreen on Minecraft, but I don't play on nerd.nu as much as I used to (I have a private server I play on with friends). --NipplesOfTheFuture 18:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

"Sublime" splash
Care to explain why you deleted my explanation? "Really not sure about either of those" isn't exactly a fortress of logic, especially given that you could've confirmed mine at least with two seconds of Wikipedia.

Sublime (literary) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The sublime is a form of expression in literature in which the author refers to things in nature or art that affect the mind with a sense of overwhelming grandeur or irresistible power. It is calculated to inspire awe, deep reverence, or lofty emotion, by reason of its beauty, vastness, or grandeur.[1] When thinking of the literary sublime, most scholars point to the Romantic Period as the age in which it flourished. In Romantic poetry, authors often referred to mountains or deep crags, things that they considered both awe-inspiring and terrifying, in order to express the literary sublime.

 * While that may have been the original usage of "sublime", its meaning has shifted since it started being used (at least, in my experience) - I have never heard it used in a way that would suggest the object or experience being described as "sublime" was anything like "awe-inspiring and terrifying"... If you disagree with my (admittedly sketchy) logic, though, feel free to readd your explanation to the article; I won't remove it again. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:25, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The only real shift in meaning it's undergone to my knowledge is a colloquialization- it's used to add a superlative quality to a description that doesn't necessarily have to have anything to do with supernatural wonder and terror. However, to me it's pretty clear that Notch intended the original sense of the word: one of the paintings in the game is a facsimile of the foreground character in Caspar David Friedrich's Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer, a really excellently prime example of the Romantic sublime in art. (It's here if you're interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog) I think I'll add the explanation again, with perhaps a slight re-phrasing to make it a little clearer.

Template:items
The Bowl isn't a tool: it's only used in the crafting recipe of the mushroom stew. If the bowl mustn't be on the "raw materials" because is crafted from planks, why the stick is in the "raw materials" section? Also, I added water and lava buckets because they are tools and they're two types of bucket--Ua 08:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The group labels on Items aren't necessarily hard-and-fast rules for the items in those groups. There are several items besides sticks in the "Raw Materials" group that aren't really raw materials, for instance. This is done deliberately, for convenience and brevity (if the group labels perfectly described the groups, we'd need twice as many to cover the same items, easily!).
 * As I said in my edit summary, Water Bucket redirects to Water, and Lava Bucket to Lava. Neither of these has its own article, so I'd argue against their inclusion in the navbox. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

1.8 Content pages and template tags
Thanks for all the fixes on all those tags etc on the Melon, seeds, etc pages. When it comes to content and wording, I'm pretty good, but tags, administrative rights, and reasoning for things exclusive to wikis, i don't really know that much about. --HexZyle 03:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. I have a reasonable amount of experience working on wikis, from both sides of the admin bit, so feel free to ask me about anything you might need help with or explained. =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:31, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
