Monobook skin
Hey Gard, I would like to show you this since I based it off of the MediaWiki:Monobook.css here, and I figured I would show you what I came up with. -- B a s s  J  apas  00:10, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Adding removed content articles from Deco Devolution
I was wondering, since most of us have the Deco Devolution book, but there hasn't been any images of the removed content, would it be possible to write the articles for the removed content, with cited info, so we can hopefully get the images in the future? There were at least a few locations removed from the game, and there is the removed creature, which has a lot of concept pics to it. I understand that some could be merged with similar pages, but there is some content that would be informative enough to get a page into the Removed Content section for BioShock 2.Evans0305 00:12, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Removed content? Like the Little Brother? Strangely enough that one was only mentioned in Deco Devolution but Protector Trials features its concept art. By the way, Rapturearchives.org has most of all the concept arts from that DLC and in good quality, if you're looking for them.
 * But to be back on the subject, I think the "Removed Content" pages should be better organized. It's kinda messy when you're redirected to a category page. --Pauolo 10:36, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Paulo, I'm not sure what you mean by it being messy. "Removed Content" used to be an article, but it was just a list, so it didn't serve any function that a category page couldn't do just as well. You can see what it used to be here: . How would you suggest improving things?
 * As for making articles about removed locations and creatures, our rule is generally that we don't make an article about it unless there is evidence that whatever it was got farther than the concept art phase. I.E. that there were character models, AI scripts, or level objects already made for it at the time that the idea was cut. If the removed locations/creatures fulfill that requirement, feel free to make articles about them. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 19:12, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * In fact, I was thinking of making it an actual page with few descriptions for each of the removed content linked to it. For example, we could write about how we find each elements, like the diaries on the game files (it makes me remember to add the remaining unused diaries' portrait from BioShock 2 on the wiki) or the "Rapture Zoo". It's just that I don't like to get on a category page on some wiki when I am looking for something in particular (mention to some messy wikis I once looked at, where "Characters" was redirecting you to a category page with no order than an alphabetical list of articles under "Characters"). --Pauolo 21:03, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uploading the concept pictures would be great idea. If there is no legitimate article for the picture to be found in, simply put them in the gallery portion of the Deco Devolution: The Art of BioShock 2 article. As far as removed content is concerned, I will say two things. First, removed content is defined as something that was in the game at one point, including a developmental stage. This is to be differentiated from a concept, which was merely an idea that never made it to development. Articles for removed content are good, articles for concepts are not. Second, some of the articles for removed content are great enough on their own, and to string them all together in one article would be burdensome. The Slow Pro article is a good example of both these points.
 * BlueIsSupreme 21:28, March 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess some could be merged into the Deco Devolution page, especially the removed location concepts. It was just an idea, since there's plenty of BioShock fans who never owned the Deco Devolution book when they got the Special Edition. There's plenty of concepts and content for the first BioShock on here, yet it's sequel has just a minor of it, with some as just the rejected concepts transfered into the game. Still, despite having no character model, I think the Splicer monster could have an article in the removed content section, since there's plenty of developer quotes that describe the creation and idea of it, along with pics that even one of them uses a Brute's shape. Speaking of which, was there one made for the early Aggressors, like the aquatic mutants, before they became Splicers? Evans0305 21:40, April 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been over a week, but I'm thinking about making my blog for the Aqua Splicer as a page for BioShock 2's removed content section, since despite a lack of a character model, there were plenty of detailed content and quotes about this character. Although it might be too much to fit into the Deco Devolution page (most of the uploaded images are not from the book), I could add a link and brief description to that page. Would that be a possibility?Evans0305 06:38, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Minor Vandalism

Logo
File:BioShock_Infinite_Logo.png should now be canon. The latest news on Irrational Games' site uses the version I put there. Since it is quite smaller than the older version, I'd understand if you don't use it right away. But again, it does show as canon logo now.

Edit: Also, Illusian uploaded new versions of the other logos. He gave File:Bioshock-logo.png and File:Bioshock Infinite Logo.png a random thick black edge for some reason. ~ <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 }  05:01, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Possible Vandal
This wiki contributor, 76.200.233.228, created this fake page, Becky Botsford Splicer|Becky Botsford Splicer, which is really the name of a PBS character, with just "The BioShock 4 is coming" in the content. Looking at their contribution history, they've been popping up here for time to time, making speculation edits to the Splicer pages. I think because of this reoccurring habit, they need a permanent ban from the wiki. Evans0305 03:19, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Columbia in Minecraft.
I'm just returning from the server created by the ones who have done Rapture and Columbia in Minecraft Classic. OMG they've done such amazing job! And not only for Columbia (they removed Rapture's map), but also for every map they've done so far. It's like traveling in some childhood dream when you can explore the universe from your video games, but not only. ^^ If you are interested in visiting it, you just have to register on the official website on to go to that link.

Raider of the lost diaries.
Thank you for Music Player and fsbext (it took me some time to find that one) but it's working. But I will have to reinstall the game in English. By the way, is there a way to extract the subtitles from the game ? It may help for the transcripts. --Pauolo 08:43, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * When I began to listen to the files, I couldn't read the file for Fontaine Futuristics and Persephone. After extracting it, I found a diary that I never heard before: Dr. Grimes being killed by Little Sisters (with an ADAM syringe I think) who wanted to play doctors and to see if he was healing. I never saw that one on the official forums. I will wait to get the English version to write the transcript. --Pauolo 09:11, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I've got a problem. The unseen diaries (2 in Pauper's Drop, 1 at Inner Persephone) doesn't exist in English. I think that's because they were removed from the game files of the English version of the game, but not from the French version (maybe older version of audio diaries because the beginning and the end of these 3 diaries sound like the multiplayer diaries). And for now, I don't know if I should translate the French version or just mention these missing files. --Pauolo 13:09, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the .ini files. I will had some content to Porter, Wahl and Minerva's Den from the description. Also, for the subtitle files, maybe we should look for a file named Localizedeng.lbf. Someone upload the file in French (Localizedfra.lbf) on a French forum for solutions to play BioShock 2 in original version subtitled in French and well, it appears to have the texts from the radio messages and lots all of other things that are subtitled in the game. I will take a look in the programm files to see if I can find it, but maybe MegaScience has already found it. And I will try to put the translated transcripts of the three lost diaries in the diaries' talk page. --Pauolo 16:57, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * For the forum, it's here. But I checked it, the French version is already in the game's files, in 2K Games/BioShock 2/SP/Content. There are also the equivalent in German, Italian, Espagnol, but no trace of the English version. I will try to find it on the web. And I look to the French file. Bordel de merde ! (forgive my rude French) there's more than the audio files in it ! There are transcripts for every missing audio file, including diaries and radio messages. Not only from the three I found in French, but also for unheard before diaries of some characters like Alexander (even some that speak of Suchong and his death that "may be not so accidental") but also for never-seen-before removed character and even one the members of the forums at 2K where crying to see or to be mentioned in Minerva's Den. I will not say anything more that could spoil you the discovery of such a gold mine of informations, but I will put those extra content in the diaries' talk page when I found the English file. Oh, and I almost forget, there's also the correct names for every files. ^^ --Pauolo 19:13, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Icons and Logos
The icons category needs some reorganizing and cleaning. How should be differentiate between logos and icons? And should there be subcategories for icons for each game, business, etc.? I have thought about some ideas, but I want to know what you think.

BlueIsSupreme 04:06, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Great question. There are a few images like that which are small pictures of the logo with a slight background, and only decent quality. The pictures that are of the logo only, cut out and reworked to high quality, I am labeling as logos. I could change that.

For quotes here
I was reading the Wikipedia article on Portal 2 and came upon a quote that was written incorrectly, with a special bracketed area next to it. I clicked it and it says that it's used to clarify that the quote is exactly how given, even if it's grammatically incorrect or so forth. We have a few quotes like this, and finally we have a real way of defining them. [ sic ] is what you'd put, which you can use as an example here, at the end of the first paragraph. ~ <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 }  05:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

BioShock 2 Patches
I believe the patch links I provided should remain as a part of the page with a link to 2K's official BioShock 2 Tech Support sub forum under a sub heading "External Help".

I think the SITS Charinfobox should have its data lines merged with the standard Charinfobox, and then deleted. Or at least, it should be made to look exactly like the standard box. What do you think?

BlueIsSupreme 23:08, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

We must complete the map pages or find a way to make it so they are no longer dead-end or orphaned.

Before I start, Let me say it's good to see you around again.

Dungeon Defenders Wiki
Hey I am from the Dungeon Defenders Wiki and we are starting out fresh. We noticed your neat countdown and was wondering if you could enlighten us with the coding. Or a very small tutorial on it. It'd be very much appreciated. Thanks!

15:22,8/24/2011 15:22, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thank you! That was a lot of stuff. For some reason ours isn't work. I'm a good tinkering guy so once I can get it working I will figure out the coding and what not.

Here is Common.js

And Template:Countdown.

Thank you!

The Splarka code wouldn't work either and Wikia said there is no problem with their end. Java is enabled on all my browsers and I know how to clear the cache. And yes that's when I noticed.

Recent developments on images
Recently, D.Ryan uploaded some images, which after looking at the recent two, realized that they belong to DD user RazKirdt, which I did just let him know about it, and linked those images. But that's a side note, compared to a recent development.

What I found under a recent post on his Blog that the real artist is upset that D.Ryan falsley claimed the sketch image was drawn by his brother. Not only that, but the artist has proof that she did it (and yes, the artist is a girl).

Here's the image from D.Ryan's Blog:

http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:D.Ryan/What_a_Big_Brother_looks_like

And here's the actual image from DD user Raptorbarry:

http://raptorbarry.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2th8hf

As upsetting as it is to find this out now, I'll let you handle this matter from here.Evans0305 03:55, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

I managed to message both after your removal of the image. So far, the artist replied, and was thankful about both the removal of both the Blog and image. As for RazKirdt, I haven't heard anything, yet.Evans0305 22:57, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Explanation
Hello Gardimuer,

You recogonize this name?

Good, I would like to explain my actions

I want to point out that your a very good detective, and yes I stole work from those two Artisit's on DeviantArt. I also told RazKurdt what I did to his images and requested an apology (Still waiting for a reply) I have also told RaptorBarry (Still waiting for a reply). I take full responsibility for the things I have caused

L.Cohen/D.Ryan

Oh yeah,
Gardimuer,

I almost forgot, I can still talk to you as an anonymous User

D.Ryan

Vandal on Big Daddy page.
User 174.55.64.148 vandalized the Big Daddy page with writing racial slurs on it.Evans0305 02:32, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Got some scanned images.
Good news is I just scanned some images from my strategy guide, such as the one for Andrew Ryan that was uploaded earlier. The bad news is the rest, such as some weapons, advertisements, and a shot of a Alpha, were scanned from the side, so it'll take some time to correct before they can go up here :( .Evans0305 05:03, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

A couple of interesting things
Just a couple of interesting things I want to mention. First, I finally got something from RazKurdt, who mentions that he was thankful for the bringing it to his attention, and that D.Ryan did apologies to him. I also let him know if he could contribute, which he agreed about it, but he could only grab images of models and ads, not areas, but also asks what pages need images. So if you have a good idea for the rest of the character or content pages that need some good images, let me know so I could reply to him.

And second, I'll be heading tomorrow to Sac Anime in California to see Yuri Lowenthal ( who voiced the Crawler) and ask him about the character. If there's any useful info, I'll let you know.Evans0305 04:11, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

He was very nice to talk to, and excited that I brought my copy of BioShock 2 for him to sign, especially since he didn't expect it. When I told him that NECA'S Crawler figure was suppose to be an item I was hoping to be released early enough for him to sign, he was bit down because he thought the figure was cancelled, but I did assure him that NECA actually delayed it for the end of this month, which he was happy about. I actually asked him some questions like what you suggested, and he told me some interesting info, like the Crawler was meant to be Appalachian-Like in his tone, but it didn't seem to work, and it took a good 4 hours of looking over the concept art and revising his voice until he developed a good sense of the character being more like he's insane. The 2K staff didn't revise too much from the lines, but they did let him scream as much as he wanted. I wished I had recorded this, but I do have his autograph here.--Evans0305 02:05, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Minor vandalism
Gardimuer,

I found some Minor vandalism on the Big Daddy page he wrote: Don't even come closeto the little sisters! You will pay a high price if you do.

I.P Adress: 174.92.221.119

I trust you will take care of it.

─D.Ryan─ 21:37, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

I think I found a useless article that needs to get steped on by a big daddy.
Why hello there.

http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Fruit_ninja

Take a look at this article. Is this relevent to BioShock in any way, shape, or form?

I think it deserves removal. It doesn't help this proud and great wiki in any way, nor anyone seeking info on BioShock.

Thank you. Mr Bio Shock <span style="cursor: wait;" title="Evolve today!"> http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.png 22:35, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Message from Razkurdt
Gardimuer,

I have gotten a message from RazKurdt he said "No to use ay models "Posing" for the camera, I asked him if he could render the models like Front, Side, Back, he also said to say when the pictures are uploaded to right something like "Owned by 2K rendered and extracted by RazKurdt"

─D.Ryan─ 09:05, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

vandalism on Augustus Sinclair page
User 76.120.136.136 made an inappropriate edit to the page by replacing the name and symbol with inappropriate content. Also, there's a lot of recent edits made to that page, so check if that info works, or if it's filler.Evans0305 02:12, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Also, User 65.1.73.200 made some false info on the same page, creating speculation of the character as Eleanor's father if the player got all the endings.Evans0305 02:03, September 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Rapture Businesses page
Hmmm I wasn't sure how to show those three businesses since there were no real names mentioned for them (in the first part), so you were right about deleting them. I will add them on Ryan's page later.

Btw, I was reading the part where Suchong was first mentioned as Korean, and it made me thinks about the incoherence stated on his article on the wikia: how did we know in the first game Suchong was from Nanjing, apart him saying in an audio diary that every citizens in his home town (no name mentioned) were killed by the Japanese army? I'll get a better look later and see if we should change that part in his article, because if looks more like a guess than actual fact. --Pauolo 15:42, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Novel info
I'll take a look later don't worry. And for the sources, I thought ahead and made a list of whatever useful informations or descriptions (like a plasmids' powers description by Anton Kinkaide) and their page number. But I'm still reading the book, so it will come in time. Also, since some songs that don't appear in the games are mentioned (like Rahpsody in Blue by Gershwin), I think I'll make a separate soundtrack page for them if there is enough to make a list. Pauolo 22:49, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Odd double space edits
Apparently, 173.230.57.35 ignored your warning, since there were two recent edits that were just double spaces at the beginning of the articles. I don't know if it's just because they're not into the format, but it seems like they just want to convert every article like that.Evans0305 21:44, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

A sneaky vandal
User 95.16.207.166 created an elaborate vandalism on the Crossbow page by editing the info with jargen before adding his recent edit, which shows up when anyone undoes his edit. Evans0305 05:17, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

I see. Well, this is screwing up edits a lot more. I was going to undo an edit on the Andrew Ryan page, when the preview showed that it's change would remove the code for the References. I think this should be addressed to the Wiki staff, before it creates more unnecessary problems for us here. Evans0305 23:21, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for suggesting it. I just addressed it to them, so I hope they'll take care of this problem soon. Evans0305 07:26, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Date of birth and death
Alright, maybe I'm new to this wiki but, should we remove the date of birth and death? I think its too spoilerific.

Hello
Hello, dear Gardimuer, i always wondered, if i could have such a interesting, graceful thing such as to meet genius user such as you. But i have to ask something? Can/Would i be able to post some hi-res concept art (not fan art, of course) from the 164 page Deco Devolution Artbook. I already have a few concept art, but i wondered, will you offer me this unique chance to add art in this wiki. And i have seen, that some of the art lacks (I mean some ones) total hi-res. I would offer my scanner services, to bring scans of a minimum 2680x4244 pixels for example! I should scan the "Citizens of Rapture", i mean the splicers, and the another residents of Rapture. I should modify the scans with my ultimate image enhancer! It won't take more than 2 hours to scan the whole book. My scanner's size is nearly 4500 pixels. And my monitor size is 5240 pixels. Note that, i always scan in .JPG format. With sincerity and great respect, ☭☭☭☭TitanSith888☭☭☭☭ 14:11, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Of Course, your highness. But first of all, i will scan only the "Citizens of Rapture", "Masks" and "Weapons" pages. At least they will be 2400x4200 pixels. I already have Concept Art about Subject Delta, Splicers, etc.. And i won't let the scan to be with these annoying lights.

Re: Link to Deleted Image
Thanks for the heads-up. I changed the links, so there shouldn't be a problem. If there's anything more I need to change, please tell me.

Also, have you ever taken a look at Akinator? It guessed Sofia Lamb, Andrew Ryan and even Jack correctly for me. It's kinda eerie. --Willbachbakal 10:57, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Frank Fontaine article
I appologize for the error. Here's what happened: It was mostly because of this Wiki User, who kept going back to reedit the article, and just left it with either bad grammar, or wrote it in a "game site"-like format that isn't like our Wiki (Ex: Pop a few First Aid Kits if you need to). However, Willbachbakal did what he could with fixing the article, but I only saw that the User returned to add one more edit after that. At first, I was going to Undo it, but it looked like it could just be reedited and moved into an existing section. However, from a lot of the recent edits the User did, I couldn't tell if they did it or it existed before, since the rest of the strategy article shared some of the same kind of slang in the format. By my mistake, I might have deleted some sentences that existed here before, which I tried to correct by copy and paste method with the past format, but I didn't check if it caused some bad code feedback. Once again, I appologize for the code error. If you can, just recheck and compare from October's format if any of it before was correct, since I'm not that familiar with returning more than one edit to a past revison.Evans0305 22:45, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

Arcadia Gallery Image
I was just wondering: is it possible to enlarge images within a gallery? There's one that could potentially fit the Arcadia gallery well, although it's a wee bit on the tiny side at the moment. --Willbachbakal 00:35, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help; the gallery also looks a lot nicer now. So it's not possible at all to enlarge individual images independently from the others within the gallery? I checked the help page and it doesn't seem so. --Willbachbakal 18:51, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Trivia in the Andrew Ryan article
That's a great idea, especially since BioShock is referenced pretty frequently in other media. How are we going to link it to the other pages, though? --Willbachbakal 11:59, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that was what I was thinking about. Imo, the good thing with a single page is that it'd be easy to locate and verify every new addition, and would avoid having to add the same culture reference across multiple articles if that'd ever be the case. Besides, having a separate area for references in pop culture within each article would sort of defeat the purpose of the trivia section. --Willbachbakal 11:55, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Uncooperative user re-adding same speculation on trivia
User Doug Exeter has been re-adding the J.S. Steinman page with same speculation on the trivia section:
