 * Questions?

Charles Image
Hey, I'm curious as to where you found the picture of Charles. Thanks in advance! EDlTʘR  •taIk• 02:06, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I found the pics of Charles and the in-game pic of Elizabeth in the Facebook page for Bioshock Infinite. Evans0305 02:15, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: 20-foot tall rabbit
Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder what the guys at 2K were on when they cooked that idea up... --Willbachbakal 18:16, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good job on uploading that article scan! I was hoping someone would do that eventually. I salute you!
 * Also, to answer your question about references... To get something to show up in the "References" section at the bottom of a page, follow the instructions here: Help:Cite
 * As an example, say you wanted to add a references about the "20-foot-tall Freudian monster bunny" thing... (I just coppied this section from the Sander Cohen article)

Sander Cohen was planned at one point to return in Bioshock 2 as a "20-foot-tall Freudian monster bunny".
 * Everything within the tags shows up in the references at the bottom of the page, so the sentence in the article looks like this:


 * Sander Cohen was planned at one point to return in Bioshock 2 as a "20-foot-tall Freudian monster bunny".


 * And the reference looks like this:

?

"the image's edit portion in the wikia somehow becomes a blank page, and neither the image or the format appear"
 * Are you seeing this when editing the file page of the image (i.e. File:Bioshock Emily.jpg) or when editing the appearance of the image on another page?

~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 01:25, February 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, it sound like you are trying to edit the file pages. You don't need to re-upload an image to edit its file page; just click the "edit" button next to the image title at the top of the page (like here: File:Rosie3.jpg). The editing window will show a blank page, but that is normal for editing a file page. I have tried using Safari for this, and all the normal tools for adding templates and links still show. Also, I tried clicking on the "licensing" slider when on the re-upload screen, and it worked fine for me.
 * Try editing a file page without re-uploading the image. If you still have problems, contact Wikia to tell them about the issue. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 19:32, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Emily Talk: apologies
I'm sorry if I seemed forceful. That was not my intention, and I didn't want to harass anyone. The page is valid, I'll give you that, and in hindsight (and reviewing my last comment) I can see why you would consider this harassment. I won't make any excuse, and it seems Blue has deciced what he want's to do with the page. I don't know if merging is the right thing, but I believe the page should stay where it is, thinking about it.

Either way, it's a good find, although, in honesty, I thought it was Fanfic at first. Dark Swarmlord 17:00, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

News blogs
Your blogs here are often very informative, and many subjects you blog about could qualify as news. If you ever want one of your blogs to show in the news feed on the main page, just tag it with the "News" category.

If you don't mind, I would like to show this blog in the feed on the main page: Bioshock 2 - Additional Concept Art pt.1. Would it be ok with you if I placed it in the news categories? ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 05:06, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Adding removed content articles from Deco Devolution
Just letting you know I have replied on my talkpage since Pauolo also got involved in the discussion. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 19:20, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the very late reply. As BlueIsSupreme stated, even though the Aqua Splicer has a lot of information about it, it still doesn't have anything beyond concept art phase, so it would most likely be wrong to make an article about it. I suppose adding info about it to the Deco Devolution article would be best. However, BlueIsSupreme is really the one you should ask about this since he is the one who defined the rule. ~Gardimuer   <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 07:42, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Vandal
Thanks for informing me. That IP has been doing nonsense edits every once in a while for over a year but I was never sure if it was intentional vandalism or just a very foolish person trying to help. Regardless, I have banned the person for 6 months since his/her edits are never constructive. If the IP returns after 6 months then it will be permabanned. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 05:06, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Source of pictures
Hello Evans, I would like to remind you that when you upload some pictures from other website, don't forget to mention the source in the picture's page. That is just some courtesy toward the people who posted these pictures. Thanks for you attention. --Pauolo 15:14, April 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's nothing, it's just that I once forgot to do that with the diary's portraits and I had to send some mails to rapturearchives.org (after I asked them something) but it has been arranged with a link to the website on every pictures from it. In fact, I just wrote the source under the license on each of them. By the way, they've got quite good pieces, and added recently the advertisement signs outside of the buildings. They even have all the bonus content from the Protector Trials (except the cinematics' sketches) if you're interested in it.  --Pauolo 18:45, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Your Blog Post
The best thing for you to do would be to remake your blog post about BioShock winning the art competition. I will delete the other blog post, and the redirect as well.

Concept Art
Just mentioning, but make sure concept art added to the artbook page is from the artbook and not elsewhere. I haven't checked mine in maybe even a year, so I can't be sure of anything, but just pointing that out. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  02:14, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you can find use for the concept art, please do so. I will delete the rest.

 * Ah, I don't need to inquire much. I keep mine in such a secretive place, even I don't know where it is. And if I opened it, I'd be fearing ruining it. So I myself can't really check anyway.

Images
Dear Evens0305

I would like to know where you get your images

I would be very happy if you would give me the website

Sincerely, D.Ryan

Ð.ŔŸÅŅ 14:52, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Thank You
I just wanted to thank you for crediting my site (game-archivist.com) when you added images from it. No one else does that on this Wikia. It's much appreciated. Not only is it nice to be credited, but my personal opinion is that it's proper to acknowledge where images come from, and it's also really helpful if you are browsing the Wikia and you see some information or an image and you want to know where the original source is. I'm always browsing and finding things that I want to know the source, but the source is never given. It's so annoying. Crediting / acknowledging the source is how information can be verified. So thank you for doing things right. - Relight - game-archivist.com 50.92.25.138 16:07, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Cool, thanks again! More behind-the-scenes and ghosting content is definitely coming! - Relight, Game-Archivist.com 50.92.25.138 22:11, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Steam
Are you on Steam? If so, this has proven to be a good method of communication among some users, and I think it prudent that I get your username.

BlueIsSupreme 00:36, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Also, just as a reminder with no need to reply, be sure to categorize videos by there game, and not just the general category.

Re: Wondering if you can do some image grabs?
Ah, I was thinking I'd do this with the full video. I might have mentioned I use Camtasia Studio for screen grabs... And actually, it was acting up last time I tried it. The frames wouldn't save. But I guess I can pull them from there for now... I'd still rather see the full gameplay than all the little clips first. Thank you, though. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  22:57, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * For some reason, there's no download link on the page you gave me. I downloaded it as the on-site .flv, but the only way I can capture frames from it is to convert. I'd rather there be as little steps between video to image as possible, to retain quality. The flv file, itself. is a conversion of the main video. I've found programs that can capture frames from flv videos, but they put the most annoying watermarks on it until I've bought it, which I won't because it's not worth it. Can you find a download link to the video? Nothing is listed when I click "Download." ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  23:57, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I already have an account, actually. They simply did not include download links for some reason. I downloaded the site's .flv, converted it to .AVI and .MOV so two of my programs could open them, and extracted images from there. I got shots of her banner and a still & animation of her projection. I took some shots of some signs and the tear object flickering, including the "Columbia Post Office sign," but the shots are simply too low quality. I'll wait for the gameplay.


 * I started this before I got your message, so I didn't catch the specific moments you mentioned. Besides that, I reduced the video's size to just the new part to take a load off my low end computer, so the seconds would be different. Hopefully they'll work out. I'll upload them in a few minutes (from this message). ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  06:59, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. I'm sure you noticed they overused motion blur in the scene - it made capturing specific frames difficult. The first banner of her starts to blur a lot as the camera closes in. I have a slightly bigger shot of it, but at the point I took it, it was too noticeably blurry. I used a shot a few frames back and clearer.


 * I don't believe this is part of the gameplay they will release - it looks more like a fly-cam of the level it takes place in. If this is the case, then we won't get the same kind of amazing shots as we are in this. If you also find a way to take shots, you should take advantage of it and try to obtain any shots I did not. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  07:28, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, the first image is definitely interesting. Not the one we saw. I'd rather keep this all out of mind for now, as I just did another check for videos and found nothing. Frustrates me somewhere it was shown and none of us got to see it. Don't tell me when they do release it, I'd rather see the people hyping it than feel like I missed the message to see it nearly first... ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  08:06, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Mesmerize
I was looking at Irrational Games' forum and found this thread. I decided you should get to make the article on it. The person included this image, if you'd like to use it with his permission. Otherwise, direct me to the highest quality version of the About the Sky-Lines video and I'll pull more images from it.

I've posted asking if we can use it.

From the prototype editor,

I'm so sorry about all this, i don't know alot about setting up blogs or pages or anything but if figured you guys can and you could assist me with the prototype.

I appreciate you taking the time to look at the page i was able to create but i don't know hoe to do antthing else.

I have sent a message to the deleting administrator and i hope we could work toghether to establish a page for the prototype.

About Gameplay Screen Captures
I'm just jealous right now, but I took my screen captures early yesterday.

I noticed that. I hoped he would take a hint when I removed the duplicates from his userpage the first time, but I see he is still repeating the same mistake.

Character page etc.
The character page looks good, as far as I can tell.

On a side note, I appreciate you taking an interest in Mahi951's conduct, but I want to mention that the blanking of his talk page wasn't necessarily a sign he was rebelling against what I wrote. Some people like to "clean" their talk pages after they have read new messages. It is up to personal preference, and we don't have any rules against people blanking their own talk pages. Unfortunately, your strong reaction seems to have frightened him away so we may never know what he meant to do. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 23:26, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Rescue Little Sister
There is a theme pack for BioShock that has almost all of the icons in the game, plus unused ones. They are mostly unmarked, but one can use deduction to figure out what they are for. We have all of them on this site.

Re: Someone might have figured out the locations in Rapture.
Well, in any case, it's guesses. Can't really think much about it in reality. We could also assume that this wasn't planned to be inspected by anyone but people like us, so we could never actually make real sense of it. ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ<font color="#009900">ᶒ<font color="#00aa00">ɠ<font color="#00bb00">ą<font color="#00cc00">§<font color="#00dd00">ɔ î é ɳ č ę <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t<font color="#ff8800">al k }  08:17, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Until then, someone gifted me Amnesia today and I'm still doing things in MapleStory, so I'll be occupied there too. I want to make a Custom Story in Amnesia which has no scares. Just a day in the life of Daniel the average.

Art theft
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Unfortunately, it seems that D.Ryan has been uploading images without credit for a long time. I took care of the situation as well as I could, but please let me know if you notice any more evidence of art theft. Did you correspond with RazKirdt or Raptorbarry about this situation?

"The mechanical Andrew Ryan is actually a untextured version of the current character model, with some added machinery and damage detail."

Re: Interesting things
That sounds awesome. :) You might want to confer with MegaScience about possible questions to ask Lowenthal; MegaScience once told me that the Crawler is his favorite Splicer model due to all its amusing dialogue. I'd be interested to know how the voice acting process was done- Was he given a script to read, or was he encouraged to improvise? Did he ever meet the developers, or did he talk to them on the phone?

As for images RazKurdt could make, I'd be most interested in getting render shots of items in BioShock and BioShock 2.

For instance, we really need good images of the BioShock 2 weapons with transparency. Something like this that would fit well in weapon infoboxes is preferred. It would be especially nice if he could make separate images of each weapon for every upgrade. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 04:48, September 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm, the voice actor was also the one inspired to make it? Although I love the character, I never thought about this. :o It's been a while, and it is late. :P Might edit this later, but at the moment, can't think of much to say. For all we know, you won't have a chance to ask anything.

Adding spaces
I think it is because of the change to the Template:Games: the game icons now show at the top of each article during preview and overlap whatever is directly below them. That IP is most likely confused by this and he/she thinks they are helping, when in reality the added spaces are unnecessary. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 21:51, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal
Actually, I don't think the added source code was caused by that IP. Most likely it is just Wikia's WYSIWYG editor messing up gain. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 05:59, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suggest you report the problem to Wikia through Special:Contact. The more feedback they get about the problem, the more likely it is that they will fix.
 * Also, remember that switching to source mode in your preferences will prevent most of the problems caused by the WYSIWYG editor.~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 01:14, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Frank Fontaine article
I'm a bit confused by your recent edit to the Fontaine article. A bunch of "{C}" were added, and your edit summary doesn't seem to describe what was actually changed. It almost looks as if you edited an old version of the page by accident. I'd like to correct it, but I'm not sure what your intentions were and I don't want to undo your work by accident.

SOPA and Rapture Museum
I've known about SOPA for a while, and I agree that it would be a bad thing. A lot of websites have decided to protest it on the 18th, including Wikipedia (they will be having a "blackout" of all English language parts of their site to raise awareness). However, at present there's not much chance of SOPA passing, considering that the president has promised to veto it.

Actually, I'm a bit annoyed at Wikia's plastering their position across all Wikia wikis. Wikipedia has justification for their blackout, since they got consensus from their active contributors before deciding to take a stand, but Wikia is just forcing their own corporate views on all of us and falsely making it seem like they represent the views of every contributor. I would have been more pleased if they had actually asked us to opt into this event instead of forcing it on us.

Regarding the Rapture Memorial Museum images, I could fix them, but I don't know what the correct positioning is. Could you upload an image or describe exactly what needs to be changed? ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 06:27, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Same articles at the same time
Rats, I thought for sure I was quick enough to be the first haha. I did realize after I created the page that there is only going to be one Motorized Patriot, and not a whole cadre of them.

AbuseFilter
I checked the AbuseFilter logs today and saw that the filter which checks for Rich Text Editor errors stopped you from leaving a comment on User blog:Iloveelanorlamb3734/Abandoned good ending. I'm sorry about the trouble; I changed the filter so you should be able to leave a comment now.

The filter detects when edits insert pointless html code or other common RTE errors. Unfortunately, the RTE interface for blog comments tends to add lots of html code whenever someone copies and pastes text into a comment. Normally the filter gives a warning to the user when this happens in articles or other normal page edits, but the filter doesn't have any way to give warnings in blog comments.

I don't think we will have any more issues from this since I've changed the filter, but please let me know if you ever encounter this problem again.

I've placed your comment text below, if you want to use it. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 16:35, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. On wikis that I edit, including Wikipedia, we usually remove links that contain " 's " and leave that on the outside of the link. I was taught that " 's" should always remain on the outside of links. I guess this wiki does that differently. Thanks for reverting my edits. I probably have a bit more to learn about the editing style of this wiki. EYCEST★R  <font color="#9966CC">★   23:38, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Behind The Scenes conformity
I disagree that it is too limiting. If anything, removing speculation will be beneficial to us, since it will improve the BioShock Wiki's reputation as a source of a reliable, confirmed information. Fortunately, a great deal more than 50% of everyone's contributions here are not speculation, so there's no need to fear axing the whole wiki. In many cases I move the more plausible (but unconfirmed) speculation to article talk pages so the information isn't completely lost.

Although the switch from "Trivia" to "Behind the Scenes" was recent, the no-speculation trivia policy has been around for over two years. The only thing that has really changed is that I am now enforcing it more rigorously and labeling the sections more appropriately.

I'm interested to know your perspective on this subject, so please let me know what you think the drawbacks of this change are. Also, please let me know if/when I remove some specific trivia information that you think should have been kept. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 06:50, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
