RE: Disparuean Foreign Relations
Done. — Pika churin

Ghost
Thanks for your edits to the Ghost page! Very well-done, I hope to see some good edits out of you here! Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation

Response to messages
Hi there,

I'm slightly confused by what you mean by the first part. If you want to use the template, you're free to, but what do you mean "for all of [your] pages"?

As for the second part... well, I'm equally confused by what you mean for the first problem there. I see no breaks in the coloring of those subsections. As for the second problem, to solve that, you need to replace all instances of • on the template with ·w, just as I have done on my template.

I look forward to hearing from you with regards to clarifications on the first two issues,  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation
 * Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, that white line is there on Großgermania, too, it's just not as noticable there for some reason.  Either way, your template looks just great.  Would you like Grand Besaid deleted, or do you intend to fix and use that, too?   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation
 * So deleted. Also, just a note: when you wish to indicate a template, such as ·w, do not simply write , as it will actually transclude it (as it had done on my talk page, breaking it similar to how your old template had been broken).  Rather, use Templatename , so that ·w displays as ·w.  Just thought I'd point that out.  Thanks again for your contributions to the wiki,   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

RE: Sister Cities Idea
Thank you. :) Anyways, I like the idea of sister cities in CN, and I will probably be able to participate. Feel free to go through my list of cities here and see if you can pair them with a Besaidian city. — Pika churin
 * Also, have a happy new year! :D — Pika churin

— Pika churin
 * Sentara and Jubilife (Parks and Natural serenity) - Yes
 * Besaid and Jubilife (National Capitals) - Yes
 * Tamaku and Eterna (State Capitals, Crisis, History, and Notable Locations) - Yes
 * Pastoria and Sentara (Tropical Feel) - Probably not. Pastoria doesn't really have a tropical feel, due to it's cold climate during the winter and it's fairly warm summers.
 * Khatalia and Eterna (Historical Parallels) - Yes
 * We can just reupdate the list of sister cities if someone else wishes to participate. I don't think we'll have to create a template and a list of sister cities, we can just follow the format they use on Wikipedia (scroll down to the "Sister cities" section of article). What do you think? — Pika churin
 * It looks good. One question though - should we use the city flags for the list (similar to what you did in Sentara), or should we use the flag of the city's nation (similar to what they do in Wikipedia)? — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * That sounds good. I'll update Jubilife's and Eterna's article to show it's sister cities. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * I suddenly had an awesome idea. :D In order to facilitate our efforts to pair up cities here in the CN Wiki, we should create a fictional organization that operates similarly to in real life, and we can create a template similar to Disparu that can make all related pages navigable and organized. The only problem I see is conflict with territorial claims, but we could probably do something to fix the problem if that does happen. What do you think? — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * What I originally thought was that cities all over Planet Bob can join the organization, and we can list the current member cities in the article. The template will also list the current members of the organization, and will be placed on all member cities' articles. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * We can follow what MvP recommended, we can just place a note on the top of the article (similar to the one on top of this article). The note will link to another page that tells the reader how to join the organization. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * /me butts in again. You could combine that by simply using the talk page as the page to join the organization, keeping the note on the top.   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

The initial page looks good, though I think we should change the name to something else so that it isn't confused with the RL organization. How about something along the lines of Project CityConnect?
 * I'll try to work on a logo as soon as I have time in RL. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * You're welcome! :D — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin

RE: Olympics
Happy new year!

Regarding your message about Olympics: generally, my RP is relatively closed, however, since you've expressed interest, I think it may be able to be arranged. Specifically, your own territorial claims based off of your nation map do not conflict with any other nation that I RP with (viewable here). Once I hear back from Pikachurin, we can start organizing things a bit more, but I don't think more nations will actually be required. And once this gets rolling, I'll add you to me map and we can exchange embassies or something, too. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation

EDIT: Actually, there are some territorial discrepancies <_< (in Tamil Eelam and Singapore). Well, hopefully we'll be able to work something out. Worst case scenario, we exchange ambassadors and go ahead with the Olympics, and I just don't fully recognize your territorial claims. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation


 * Question: If these Olympics were held as winter games, which follows through with the real-life 2010 Olympics, would you as such a southerly, equatorial nation still be interested in participating?  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

Thanks
I want to say thank you for upgrading my empire article, The Darkan Empire.

Possible Vandalism
Hi,

I noticed two unregistered users editing your article Grand Besaid, specifically the religion section and the leader section. Since both edits seem to not fit in with the rest of the article, I'm wondering if these edits were done by you, or if they were done by vandals. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * Lol, vandals. Taken care of.   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

RE: Revitalizing Grand Besaid's Page
I'll be more than happy to compare the two versions and provide constructive criticism. You can post the new version somewhere it won't be seen by anyone who's reading your nation's article, such as this page. The temporary page can be nominated for speedy deletion as soon as you transfer it to the main page. Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    20:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The second version is definitely better, since it's more organized and is more manageable to read compared to the original article. You should definitely add more images though, in order to make the article more interesting and vibrant. I made some changes to the article, I hope you don't mind.  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    01:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

RE: Holidays
Go ahead, feel free to use the format. Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    20:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome.  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    17:17, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Temp Page
Since it seems that you've transferred the contents of this page to your nation's main article, do you still need Grand Besaid/v2? Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    22:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Grand Besaid/v2 has been deleted.  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 9:51, Nonidi, 19 Pluviôse CCXVIII

Signature
How did you get your signature to display the time in EST? (EST FTW) ~ Bobogoobo [ Talk | Nation ] 23:01, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Your new signature is missing a  tag at the very end. Please remedy this ASAP. Thanks,  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 1:57, Décadi, 20 Pluviôse CCXVIII

RE: olympics
I like it :D

EST Time
Well, it would almost work (for the hour, at least) if you used, except for one problem: between midnight in London, and midnight EST, it would display some randomly wrong time. Thats why you need something like Template:Disparu/JubilifeTime to display EST - which it does do successfully, but it can't be substituted properly and thus can't be used in signatures. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation   @ 8:19, Septidi, 27 Pluviôse CCXVIII


 * Test


 * I'd be alright with you using the code, except that you should not use templates in your signature (it's supposed to be disabled, but obviously it's not. Furthermore, it displays the current time all the time - not the time you left the message - so it really doesn't work anyway.  As I say, I'm looking at a way to make that template substitutable, but until that time, don't transclude templates in your signature, please.   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 8:51, Septidi, 27 Pluviôse CCXVIII

Your signature (again)
Please ensure you close all tags on your signature. Curently, I believe you need an extra  tag at the end. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation   @ 7:07, Nonidi, 29 Pluviôse CCXVIII

Question
Just out of curiosity, what program/website did you use to create File:GrandBesaidHouseSeating.png? Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    01:53, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

RE: Nation page
Thanks for pointing that out, I'm correcting it as I type. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation   @ 0:83, Primidi, 1 Ventôse CCXVIII

Local signature time (finally!)
Alright, here it is: local date and time stamps for your signature. This is for Eastern time little endian format only. If you need or want it in a different timezone or format, let me know and I'll get it fixed up for you (I've decided against making a global template for time due to the complex nature of changes that need to be made depending on location as well as format).

If you want the local time in Eastern Time little endian format in your signatures, replace the current time data (if any) with the following exact code:

hours

Again, if you need it in a non-Eastern timezone or big or middle endian formats, let me know and I'll alter the code accordingly. I strongly recommend against trying to alter the code yourself, as some of the odd numbers in the middle need to be changed accordingly. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation   @ 2:43, Quintidi, 5 Germinal CCXVIII


 * One thing I should note - if you use local time in your signature, please denote it with (ET) or a similar mark so people who use dates don't get confused. Thanks!   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 6:41, Quintidi, 5 Germinal CCXVIII


 * No problem :)  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 8:96, Sextidi, 6 Germinal CCXVIII

Regarding signatures.
When you sign posts, you need only use, not ~. Using 4 will insert your time twice, as you've already added EST to your sig. Unless you really want both, but it's kinda long. :v -  Locke   Talk  •  Alestor     21:03, Tuesday, 7 September 2010

RE: Question
I made it using the free vector editor. However, as you can tell by the fact it's a bit... off-kilter... I used as a base. Hope that helps,  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 8:87, Tridi, 3 Jour compl. CCXVIII
 * Yeah, the issue with that image is that it's a PNG, not an SVG, and therefore can't be edited cleanly (that is to say, you'd need to do it in Photoshop, Paint, etc., and there would be rough edges and what not). Sorry I can't be of much help.   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 8:99, Tridi, 3 Jour compl. CCXVIII
 * Well, barring making it from scratch, you could do what I did with the US House diagram, and just add and remove dots as needed. Not the neatest solution, admittedly, but it more-or-less worked for me (I doubled the 441-seat diagram to 882, then removed dots down to 760).   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 9:08, Tridi, 3 Jour compl. CCXVIII
 * Awesome :3  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   @ 1:46, Décadi, 10 Vendémiaire CCXIX

Image Categories
Don't know if you didn't notice or something, but you can add categories to images when you upload them, by putting the categories in the Categories field of the Information template that you fill out when uploading an image. For example, you could put in that box and it would add the category upon uploading the image, so you don't have to put them in with another edit.

Recent edit
Hey Dynasty,

Thanks for fixing this article. That was really embarrassing... <_<  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    20:12, Saturday, 25 September 2010 (ET)

RE: Featured Nation Pages
Well, seeing that no one has made any attempt to oppose your nomination, I think it's safe to add the featured template to your nation's article. Good job, by the way. Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    20:23, Saturday, 25 September 2010 (ET)

Template:Grand Besaid2
Please try to work on creating the redlinked articles; I'm trying to clean up Special:WantedPages :P. Also, with ·w, you don't need to leave a space before it, because it adds one automatically, and if you leave a space, the spaces on either side are uneven. Just fyi in case you care at all :P.
