 * Questions?

Business articles
You've been doing a really great job expanding the articles about business locations in BioShock 2. I have just one minor suggestion that may help you: If you play BioShock 2 on the PC you can use console commands to take better screenshots. For example, you could use commands to hide the HUD and save screenshots directly without having to press print-screen and paste in a different program. ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 20:45, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'd still like to discuss the subject of the meeting with you, so please email me information about how I can contact you in private (such as a Steam ID, 2K Forum/Irrational Games forum profile name, etc.) ~Gardimuer   { ʈalk } 21:53, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Hello I have a request for you to add an Scripted Dialogue section at the end of Bioshock Quotes and Bioshock 2 Quotes in the Baby Jane page, just add all the Dialogue she says at a certain time evrey time, for example you might end up at an area and hear her say somthing she only says at that place that happens evrey playthrough that she dosen't say in battle or an a idle state if you don't know alll her scripted dialogue could you please ask someone who does and can do that, Thank You!! By the way, the Lady Smith model has this on her page if you whant an example. Hunter Biondolino 20:56, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Scripted Dialogue
Yes I think that would work even better, and I know lots of the scripted dialogue in Bioshock 2, mostly just Baby Jane's as she is my favorite model but hopefully we can figure somthing out and get that page created. Hunter Biondolino 23:35, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Screenshots
Those are some very nice screenshots of the Wharmaster's Office! Where did you get them? Did you take them yourself? ~Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 05:02, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I did them myself, I've finally got Bioshock on my mac, so I'm getting screenshots for pages without pictures. Unownshipper 19:37, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Recent Pictures
Our current policy is to mark low quality images with Template:LowQualityImage.

I usually only delete duplicate images or images that aren't used in articles. If an article already has enough images to illustrate its content, you can go ahead and remove the low quality ones. That way the bad images will show up at Special:Unusedimages and I will delete them. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 15:46, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Saying Thanks
XD, thanks for the warm welcome, and I'm happy to help wherever I can, whether in pictures or spelling errors, I guess when you get some wrong info about something you really enjoy, it really peeves you off, or at least it does that to me. Anyways, thanks for telling me and I hope you enjoy my ideas, and your welcome!

"Trivia" vs. "Behind the Scenes"
I've recently been going through all the articles on the wiki to replace "Trivia" with "Behind the Scenes". You can see my reasoning for this at Forum:Proposal: Replace "Trivia" sections with "Behind the Scenes" sections. While I carry out this change, I also try to remove any information from the new "Behind the Scenes" sections that doesn't belong. General information about the world within the game usually doesn't belong in the "Behind the Scenes" sections since it should be placed elsewhere in the article. The kind of information that does belong in the Behind the Scenes section includes: In my opinion, the note in the Behind the Scenes section on the Atrium page is an example of the third point above. It reveals something about the game mechanics, since it's a deliberate choice by the designers. The water only rising to knee level and then stopping wouldn't make sense if Rapture were a real place and water were constantly pouring into the breached tunnel.
 * Information about the creation of the game.
 * Information about 'Easter eggs'.
 * Information about game mechanics (since this gives a "behind the scenes" look at how the game works.)

Please let me know what you think of the switch from "Trivia" sections to "Behind the Scenes" sections. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 15:30, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's good to know. :) ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:59, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * In some cases I have removed information that wasn't speculation but simply didn't belong in the "Behind the Scenes" section. Over the past few years new editors have used the trivia sections as a place to dump useful information that they don't know how to fit into the rest of the article. This is unfortunate, and I try to take it into account when I am cleaning up the trivia sections. For instance, in the Little Wonders Educational Facility article I moved the single trivia note into a "Little Sister Rooms" section, so the useful information was not lost.
 * However, my time is limited, so in many cases I have just removed trivia notes instead of spending hours trying to figure out how the information should fit into an article. I wish this weren't the case, but I'm only one person and I can't spare much time for individual cases when there are still over 200 articles that need "Trivia" to be replaced with "Behind the Scenes."
 * In the case of Kashmir Restaurant (BioShock 2 Multiplayer), I knew that the info should be kept, but I'm not familiar enough with multiplayer to know which locations in the level the notes were relevant to. That's why I moved the trivia notes to the talk page temporarily in hopes that someone else would know better than I how to fit it into the article.
 * I'll try to be better about this in the future, but I would definitely appreciate your help with this. If you notice that I removed good information from a trivia section, please try to add it back into the main part of the article somehow. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 07:30, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Diane McClintock mugshot inspiration
Where did you find the information about Tanya Williams' mugshot photo being the inspiration, and where did you get the mugshot image?

I know J.P. Lebreton mentioned mugshot inspirations in his recent developer playthrough, but how did you find this specific photo reference? ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 16:56, June 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with you; it seems like a perfect fit. I mostly asked because I hoped that you had somehow found the exact book that Irrational used. I'll add J.P. Lebreton's playthough as a reference on the Behind the Scenes note. ~<font color=#006622>Gardimuer  <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait"> <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 18:53, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Atlas and Apostrophe "s"
If that is the spelling in the game, then that's how it should show in the articles. I'll revert my edits. Thanks for pointing that out. --Willbachbakal (talk) 21:17, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Re. the Plasmid image that I recently added.
Hi,

Thank you for moving the Plasmid image to its correct position. I put the cursor at the side of the text. I can see now that the cursor should be above the text.

Thanks again. Aquawiki (talk) 16:31, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Re. Business logos.
Thank you for your kind comments, also thanks for re-sizing the business logos, the logos look much better now that they are all in the same format. It is a shame that some of the levels do not have a logo. Aquawiki (talk) 13:47, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re. Business section advice.
Thank you for the help and advice about the images.

(I have had some trouble on the wiki for the last few days. I keep getting stuck on c. the third page that I open and have to keep logging out and then back in, to finish any edit that I am working on. It is a real pain.)

Again thanks for the advice. Aquawiki (talk) 19:21, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Why did you take out what I added to the Baby Jane page? I know I kinda messed up on it, but you could of just fixed what I did and kept what I added. I added that "Dusky Donovan" was a character in Bioshock 2 that used her model, and she is. Why did you remove that? Hunter Biondolino (talk) 00:29, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

BioShock 2 Items
Thanks for putting some of my recent icon images on the BioShock 2 Items page. I was not sure about putting the icons on the page, when some of them were missing in the line-up rows. I suppose that now the format of the icons have been added to the page, it will be easier to add icons as and when they are found.

Thanks again Aquawiki (talk) 13:03, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hey sorry about my edits I'm kinda new to all this and I figured that I can't make any edits I want a couple hours ago. But if they don't have deaths and no true facts that talk about there fate why can't I add the death or what might happen.

Well sorry about all the commotion later.

Early development Information
Yeah I just put up some more pics of Fort Frolic and I've been finding lots of early development stuff that never made it to the original Bioshock game.There's info about an early concept of the story to early gameplay mechanics. I have trouble choosing which one is right to publish in this wiki. I might also need some helpers to publish this rich information, probably some one good at making articles and such, like you! Here's the link to the Irrational website that has all of the early developments if you want to help publishing all this stuff. It's called From the Vault. I'm not entirely sure if we are able to post stuff that never made it into the real game. PANDA COMPANY001 (talk) 00:30, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Double picture
Yes, I can definitely try to pick the better looking one later.

But, don't you think the image from the strategy guide of Booker's character model should go under the "in-game" section instead of the "concept and promotional art" section? The picture is neither concept or promotional art, so I definitely don't think it belongs there; especially since it is of his official in game model.

Appearance sections
Did a very good job on the Appearance sections Houdini25 (talk) 17:00, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Double images
You make a very good point about the strategy guide picture, and I definitely agree now that it should stay in promotional art, but i think it would be such a waste to remove both ripped models of Dewitt... that is in-game. It's not a screenshot, but it IS in game. Rather or not it's ripped from the game is beside the point, it should still be considered in game (unless you want someone to create a character model section under Dewitt).

I mean, I can definitely agree with you about the strategy guide picture, that makes total sense, but i think removing Dewitt's in game look is just a bit silly....

LordProtectorCorvoAttano1 (talk) 01:42, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. And yeah, the strategy guide thing is definitely no big deal. The only reason I just did'nt want to move the ripped images is because I know there are literally so many versions of how Dewitt looks, I just didn't want people getting confused on how he was supposed to look in the game (kind of a canon issue I guess, yknow?)

Re: Pigskin in Olympus
Sorry for replying so late. It's been a long time since I played BioShock, but to my recollection I'm pretty sure I encountered some Pigskin Splicers in Olympus Heights. I'll have to run through the level to confirm it, though. Considering you checked first, you can undo my edit, and if I come across any Pigskins I'll rectify the page myself. --Willbachbakal (talk) 16:03, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

How to upload a profile picture for a character?
Hey pal! I'm trying to figure out how to upload a better picture of Booker as his main picture on the page, but every time I try, it puts a link above the picture... not quite sure how to get rid of that little link thing.

If you by any chance want to try, here is the picture, or you can just tell me how to do it :)

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g334/RINZLERTRON/bookerDewittproflepictureforwiki_zpsc3c0e712.jpg

It's the same picture of Booker that's the profile picture now, but the lighting is better so that you can actually see his features/colors better! Thanks old sport! :)

LordProtectorCorvoAttano1 (talk) 15:41, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Re: How to upload a profile picture for a character?
Thank you so much pal!

I actually know a guy who is really good at photoshop, and he somehow took the orange sunlight out of the picture, and I think that's what it did :)

Oh! I also finally took off the double image! I had forgotten about it because I was having a VERY busy month. But, I fixed it! :D

65.12.165.242 22:43, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the photo is near identical to the one where you have the quote from booker dewitt.

That why I continue to remove it. They removed a ingame booker dewitt image that was similar to the one postedint he image gallery now. Don't get why a couple people have complaine.

I believe so. I originally put up a picutre of bookers in-game model and it was deleted saying we already have one.

I felt this was the same thing. If it isn't, then I won't delete it anymore.

Unrelated sketch
I just wanted to touch base about the composite sketch that was removed from the Booker DeWitt article. I believe there's good evidence to suggest that they are attempting to draw Booker: the woman on the Columbia PA describes Booker in a way that is not all reflective of what he actually looks like, similar to the witness, and since they have a manhunt going for Booker right then, it wouldn't make much sense to have it be another criminal. However, I will concede that there are various ways to intepret that situation, so I respect its removal--perhaps we can just keep in mind in the unlikely event we learn anything new about that sequence.

That shot actually isn't from Monument Island. It's from the airship that Comstock sabotages that is immediately before the entrance to Monument Island, but isn't part of Monument Island itself.

Reverting my edit on Zachary Hale Comstock
Hello, Unownshipper, I wanted to know why you reverted my edit to the page, Zachary Hale Comstock. I added a link to Booker DeWitt as there was none previously on the page. Even though there were mentions of the name, there were no links to the page via those links. Evidence of this can be found here. As you reverted this edit, and I believe it is a wrongful decision, I am inclined to add the link again. However, as this has been the cause of edit wars in the past, I have decided to talk to you about this instead. Kind regards, ~ironwestie (talk) 03:19, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Tarot Deck
Didn't think anyone would make an article on this, but if you want I've just uploaded the for the tarot deck. If you need a specific file you can contact MegaScience, he extracted a lot of things, and surprising stuff too, he just didn't upload it yet.

Pauolo (talk) 09:06, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * You should talk to MegaScience, he's the one extracted all the in-game icons, voxophone portraits and advertisement images, which I believe for the latter that I have them categorized but haven't placed them in any article yet. See for yourself:

 * Category: BioShock Infinite Business Images

Fireman
I disagree. I think my syntax is a bit more appropriate (for instance, you should strive to refer to Firemen in plural when appropriate) and better describes the tactics that can be used against Firemen, such as using Possession (in spite of the 50% effectiveness rating) and taking advantage of the Fireman's powerful attacks to help clear out enemies. 216.58.107.222 06:18, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

There is a new user by the name of "patriotofinfinite" I find this name to be very offensive as it might as well be titled PatriotOfNaziGermany. I know people that were killed by the nazis.

Re: Family Sections
I was 75.18.126.68, just unsigned. Anyways, I do agree that even though the character info boxes have those sections for families, because they're posted higher above than the paragraphs listed for Spoilers, it just becomes too easy to spoil the game. Its just like that with Booker and Comstock, or Subject Sigma and Porter: even though they are revealed to be the same, it doesn't mean to automatically reveal their families in the info boxes. Speaking of which, the ones listed on Jack has actually been there for quite a while (may be some other user added them, and we forgot to check), but I think it was up until yesterday that it made more sense to remove them for that same reason. Although it was left ambiguous to not mentioning Ryan or Jolene as his parents, it still becomes a major spoiler that they're even mentioned to be related to him. Anyways, glad that you also took notice of this issue. Evans0305 (talk) 17:35, July 25, 2013 (UTC)
