Atlas and apostrophe "s"
Regarding the recent changes to the Hestia and Apollo Square pages: In the game, the top floor of Hestia is spelled "Atlas' Headquarters." So, naturally I changed the Audio Diary listings to match. Admittedly, I'm not a grammar expert, but I would hope the developers would spell it correctly.

No problem, thanks for taking care of that.

Link not working
Hi Willbachakal,

I am not sure who to consult about a small glitch in the Wiki.

There is a link that does not work.

The non-working link is on this page:-

>go to

>Rapture

>Rapture Storyline

>1960:An Unexpected Event in Rapture

>Welcome to Rapture

>Line 4

> Welcome Center (this link does not work?) (page does not exist)

It is not important really, I just thought someone might be interested?Aquawiki (talk) 16:00, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

IMPORTANT UPDATE I just found out that the Welcome Center link actually takes you to the 'Welcome to Rapture' page.

The Welcome Center link is not a normal type of link and is probably only used once (in a list).

>see

>Rapture

>Explorable Areas

>BioShock

>List

ps. - a little confusing but probably difficult to change the page layout.Aquawiki (talk) 20:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, it clears things up. I dare say there are a few odd things in the wiki, if you look close enough. Aquawiki (talk) 02:28, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

"angry-autoblock" is especially angry
"Prejudice set to maximum."

- HK-47

Apparently the AbuseFilter has gone back to blocking offenders for infinite durations instead of the 2 hour time limit we requested. Do you know anything about this?

I plan to send Wikia an email about it in the next few days. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 10:23, September 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have noticed the toolbar being stuck at the bottom, and it seems to happen more often recently. I originally assumed it was just an issue with my AdBlock filters. I guess you should send Wikia a bug report about it. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 02:52, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

That user of faux IG info is at it again
User 160.253.128.7 (talk) is more likely that returning User who claims to "know" Irrational Games artists, which they really add incorrect info from U.S. History as unsourced speculation about BioShock Infinite. Its a different IP, but if you remember, they were here months ago as 71.126.174.139, and once claimed they were an "intern". All of them have the same repetitive pattern of unsourced info claimed its from the game, but no links or other sources known by everyone are ever mentioned. Seriously, me and the other BioShock Wikia Admins are really getting tired of this user, especially how its always me that always finds that its the same user, based on their same bad info every time. Hopefully, when the game is released, we won't need to hear anymore of their "facts" again (or will we >p). Evans0305 (talk) 07:05, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well, looks like he just made himself apparant as the "intern". Other than jumping ahead to write on the Sky-Hook Page, he added names for the Easter characters on Infinite's Character page. Also, just take a look at this "informative" post he made on Bioshock123's Blog, What is this?:

''I was an intern when the game was made. sometimes the artists would have their attention wander and they would start drawing random things. This is one of them, but Nate took it as inspiration for a swimming splicer in Bioshock 2 (which was never put in the game, because Ken thought it looked too silly).''

You read that right: he just told people that Colin Fix's is from Nate Wells (which Colin's signature is even visible on the bottom right), and that Wells and Levine made BioShock 2 at Irrational Games! So yeah, its time to block him! Also, try to delete his entry in the Blog, since the last thing we need is a "intern" speculating info. If not, I'll just note it under his reply, correcting his info.Evans0305 (talk) 02:09, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, if you say so, but I think its more likely he'll continue lying about "working" with Ken Levine and Nate Wells, or who he formally reffers to as " Ken and Nate".Evans0305 (talk) 21:18, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, despite what you informed them about their edits, they just added more on the Songbird page that seems to be a bit more speculative than it should be, especially when stating that it was "insider information" (not to emntion grammar issues). I did just informed them about how we're aware that they're not an intern, and they need to provide a linked source instead of their "info". Still, the fact that they're still continuing this charade and not replying about reconsidering their edits, makes me think they're going to continue doing this, no matter what. At this point, its best to block them than allow them to continue speculating, especially when they think claiming to be an "intern" gives them that excuse to add their own info into the wikia.

Steve Gaynor on Idlethumbs today
Steve Gaynor just appeared on Idlethumbs, playing and talking about Minerva's Den:

http://www.twitch.tv/idlethumbs/b/339126396

Besides roughly starting at 13:44 from a delay, its a good 2 1/2 hours of gameplay and commentary. I was wondering if you or the other admins can help me out with expanding the Minerva's Den pages with the show's info, since Gaynor does talk a lot about the game, that its roughly hard to keep backtracking the video for some small detail. Thanks. Evans0305 (talk) 04:54, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Picture
There's been some debate over the Sullivan page and whether or not the picture is of his body. The debate is outlined in the newest section of the talk page and I'd appreciate it if you, being an Admin, would share your thoughts on the issue. Thanks.

French title on the cinema
I found an information that title of the movie was in french because Tear opened in Paris. That would explain whole "Paris thing" and why Booker wants to take Elizabeth right there. That info was in one of the 'We Already Played Bioshock Infinite", so I don't think that it can be wrong. Also, some things changed since that 15 mins demo was shown, so I think that they could also change the title and place. Ison (talk) 14:08, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale article on the Wiki
Just recently saw that Playstation All Stars Battle Royale was added on this Wikia. I know it was done by a User that wanted to add as an extra, but even though we already mention the game in BioShock in Other Media page, I notice that there's a lot of info about it in that game that could be more than enough to warrant an article here (such as its storyline for the Bouncer & Little Sister, a moves list, and selected Andrew Ryan dialog). So I was wondering if this is acceptable to make as a new page (that is, if there are other users who own the game on PS3 to help edit this), or that we somehow just need to sum up this into the Other Media article, or just direct this into the wiki for PlayStation All Stars?Evans0305 (talk) 06:25, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Great. I'll start transfering most of PSASBR's BioShock-related info from its Wiki to the article, just to make it more easier than starting from scratch (not to mention, I don't own a PS3, and I don't know anyone on the forums that does). I'll take a while, but I'm certain I can try getting it arranged for the page, at least to make it look as good.Evans0305 (talk) 20:01, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

New User on thie wiki
Just to let you know, there's a new user, JAlbor, who recently offered to help the Wiki. However, although he wanted to reformat the BioShock Infinite article page, he uploaded it with a clutter of images (as you can see here after it was left as is), most of which were duplicates of screenshots he uploaded that we already have, along with merchandise and concept art that is already in their appropriate article pages. I did explain about the clutter, and he wrote on his own talk page that even though he apologized because of having to do something in between editing, he wanted to try this again (which personally, I really don't want to see that random clutter like that), but he did suggest a new format for the article page, such as a seperate clickable page for galleries, screenshots, concept art, and merchandise,as well as a navigation direction link for them. Most of it seems as explanatory, and I've seen it done on the Batman Wikia, but at the same time, I don't know if its as necessary yet to do that for this wikia, especially when only a few pages have a lot of images, and most of the navigation is listed above the site's tab. Plus, I think he did this on the page because he thinks it was the main Wikia page (more likely clicked on it via a sponsored link advertising the wikia that directly goes to the BiShock Infinite article, hence the giant related clutter). May be you have a better insight on this, or may be Garnimuer does. Either way, talk with this user about it. Evans0305 (talk) 22:55, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

File Deletion/Change?
I was editing Fink Manufacturing page and noticed a file named "mqdefault.jpg." This means medium quality YouTube thumbnail. At first, I thought to just find the maxres version. However, after looking it up, the image is standard for YouTube videos reuploading the Beast of America trailer for no other reason but views. Would it be in good faith take a screen capture from the real video? In any case, the file needs to be renamed. It is a standard filename which will probably be problematic in the future. In fact... I do hope we get to renaming some files in a similar situation sometime. --~ <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 }  17:38, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Jack's age vandal continuing more unnecessary edits on other pages.
Apparantly, User 65.190.90.217 is not only still re-editing the Jack page with the same DOB speculation, but is now trying to retcon this speculation by editing the articles for Andrew Ryan and Jasmine Jolene. At this point, its best to suspend or ban them before they try this again. Evans0305 (talk) 19:40, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

RE: RE: Console
It is somewhat different. Of course the controls are different. But the gameplay style is somewhat or mostly the same for me. I guess it is what ever you get first is what you are use to using. I prefer console, but I would play on PC. They are mostly similar.

hello, i tried to move the tactics part of Lady Comstock's page to the Siren page but was not allowed to. i wanted to do this because lady comstock as a boss clearly already has a page, so tips related to fighting her should be under the siren page, NOT lady comstock's page. is it possible you can change this?

 * That won't work, because Paddywoo98 is adding them over and over, and creating new ones such as "Villains" (which sounds a bit dumb to call enemies villain, the BioShock series is not a comics story). Either someone explains to him why he should stop creating new categories, either we block him from editing on this wikia. Still it seems pretty obvious he never consult the wiki's activity page and that really annoys me.

Vox Anti-Semitism
According to your own wikia policy, which you directed me to yesterday, I would like to point out the following line: "All content needs to be accurate and verifiable. In particular, adding speculation and fan fiction to articles is forbidden." Your continued attempts to add this is a fragrant infringement of said policy and as such, you are in violation of the policy. Please refrain from returning the information to the article (unless you can find a verifiable source, not "inference") or attempting to shift the onus of prolonging the argument on to myself, or the anon, otherwise I will have to involve other user of equal SysOps position as yourself to ensure a amicable conclusion to this disagreement. --Jasca Ducato 08:44, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Re: WYKBaA
Well, didn't really see that coming. Though, as I much as I feel honored you have thought of me, I must decline for the same reasons I never asked to be admin. First I have little to no patience, so I'm not really qualified to manage edit wars. Then even if I usually consult the wikia's activity page, I don't really have that much free time to edit/unedit most of what I see. And most of all, I'd prefer to just stay simple editor, I really can't afford more responsibilities than what I already have. Still, thanks for the proposition. :)
