Military Unit infobox
I thought I should let you know that I created this Military Unit infobox. At first glance, while it looks similar to this one (and it should be because I copied the code), I actually deleted a great deal out of the one I've created. You can see it working on Shock Squadron's article, and while it's essentially the same I changed "country" to "alliance" to make it work better in that role, rather than for a nation RP, along with removing all of the aircraft section and a few other things. I figured I should tell you in case you might have deleted it, thinking I had made a duplicated template. Cheers! -- Imperial Emperor - Talk 12:52, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

GOONS
It would probably be better to just revert those two anon edits. From a quick scan it doesn't look like they actually added any content. And I have no idea why some people randomly add a lot of spaces for the fun of messing stuff up :P. Btw, there seems to be a problem with Style being used next to the infobox (text goes into/on top of the infobox). Those darn infoboxes :P.

RE: Forums
The results of the test seemed normal, and other sites (such as the CN Forums, the SOS-dan forums, YouTube, Wikipedia, and a ton of other sites) are still loading normally, so the problem might not be on my end. Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    23:30, Friday, 21 May 2010 (ET)

Team templates
Should all of the team templates have clear before their content? I didn't look through all of them but so far I noticed that Black and Green don't have it. Bobogoobo -  Talk  -  Nation  20:45, Saturday, 22 May 2010 (ET)

Badges sound fun, I hope they'll be awarded retroactively :P. Also, I looked at that site traffic thing for this wiki and the most daily views by far was when the CN forums were offline ^_^. Bobogoobo -  Talk  -  Nation  13:45, Monday, 24 May 2010 (ET)

Alliance History
Hey MvP,

Thanks for updating my alliance history page, it's appreciated. I almost forgot about it. :P  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    19:52, Monday, 24 May 2010 (ET)
 * Thanks for tweaking the infobox. Though, would it be possible to fix the infobox so that text doesn't flow into the next entry when it gets too long?
 * Also, are you actually in Singapore? If so, then have fun! ^_^  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    20:14, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 (ET)

Flag trouble
I dunno why, but part of File:Bobogoobo (Province) Flag.svg isn't showing up. There's supposed to be another red bar thingy in that white space on the right. But this link does display it. What am I doing wrong? Bobogoobo -  Talk  -  Nation  21:04, Wednesday, 26 May 2010 (ET)
 * Also, in the CN Wiki version the red bar that is there does not appear to be vertically centered (there is more white space under it than above it), although it is centered in the other link. Could this be due to how adding a filter increases the border/size of the object? What do I have to do to make the wiki happy :P.  Bobogoobo  -  Talk  -  Nation  21:26, Wednesday, 26 May 2010 (ET)

Barnstars
I've been planning some wiki things recently, and while I was looking for information for various projects on Wikipedia I came across the barnstar awards. Would you be interested in introducing something like this here? Barnstars would by far be the best sort of CN Wiki award to create, they would be self sustaining in the end as there wouldn't need to be an award panel or such to grant them. Barnstars could be created for things like alliances, updating alliance stats, reverting vandalism, team information, nation information, RP, etc. Because anyone could introduce a barnstar, it means a few people don't need to try and think up all the awards all the time. As for the graphics themselves, there are many talented artists in the CN community and it may be possible to enlist their help for say, the first batch of awards at least, as it gives a good base. What do you think of this? -- Imperial Emperor - Talk 13:04, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Categories
Hey MvP,

Do you think categories should be cleaned up if they have subcategories (such as Category:Cities) to make things more organized? For example, instead of categorizing Jubilife to Category:Cities, Category:Capitals and Category:Cities of Disparu, the page can just be categorized to Category:Cities of Disparu, since the category is a subcategory of Category:Capitals (which, in turn, is a subcategory of Category:Capitals). This would make categories more navigable since they would be less cluttered and more organized. What do you think?

On an unrelated note, what happened to your blog's site? I haven't been able to open it for a while. Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    16:44, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 (ET)
 * I placed Category:Cities of Disparu under Category:Capitals since I thought every article in that category was about a capital city. I forgot about Montreal though, so thanks for pointing that out. :D Anyways, wouldn't it be possible to program a bot to automatically re-categorize articles in those categories? A bot could check if an article is categorized in a main category and a subcategory, and if it is, the bot could un-categorize the article from the main category. Would that be possible?

Vandalism
Hey MvP,

Thanks for blocking the guy who vandalized my nation's article, it's appreciated. ^_^ I noticed both of our nation articles were vandalized this morning. Even though my article was vandalized four hours after yours was, and the guy who vandalized Disparu was using a Japanese IP instead of an American one, could both incidents be related somehow? Pikachurin   Talk  •  Contribs    18:14, Thursday, 3 June 2010 (ET)
 * You're welcome. On an unrelated note, if you don't mind, could you remove Labrador from File:Disparu (orthographic) (provinces).svg and the versions for Almia, Coronet, Nunavik and the Gaspésie? Labrador was ceded to a new CNRP player yesterday, so the maps will have to be reupdated again.  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    19:22, Thursday, 3 June 2010 (ET)
 * Thanks, MvP. :)  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    20:51, Thursday, 3 June 2010 (ET)
 * Once the "What links here" pages for Pastoria and Labrador gets refreshed, I'll fix the links to them.
 * Anyways, I ceded Labrador due to OoC reasons. A new CN player who wanted to participate in CNRP sent me a message one day, asking if he could have Labrador (since that was also his in-game nation name and location). I didn't really have anything planned for Labrador in my RP (besides a terrorist RP that didn't really turn out great), I wanted more players in CNRP, and I didn't want to drive out a new CN player, so there weren't any major reasons for me to deny his request (besides having to update a ton of stuff here in the wiki).  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    21:05, Thursday, 3 June 2010 (ET)
 * Okay, I've updated the two images. Thanks for pointing those out. Anyways, I agree, Labrador's secession will probably make for some interesting RP. That, and the Parti Français has been slowly gaining more support and seats in Parliament since the Gaspésie joined Disparu, so retaining English as an official language might make them overthrow the Government - which is mostly composed of Illuminati Pokémonist Society Disparu Committee members and supporters. :P   Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    21:35, Thursday, 3 June 2010 (ET)

That doesn't even make sense. It has a different flag, different colour, different founders, different origin, different FORUM, different IRC channel, different EVERYTHING. There is no connection between the two other than the name.

And yet, you have seperate articles for the Order of Random Insanity (TE) and the Random Insanity Alliance (TE)

I've just encountered "shoot first and ask questions later" editors on every wiki I've ever been on.

Navigations
Hey Michael! I have recently started playing another game alongside CN called Lord Empires. Anyways, it has a wiki for it as well, and the Admin of the game asked if I would improve the left side navigation bar. However, I don't believe I can do that without administrative powers on that wiki; am I correct in my assumption? Which brings me to my second question, if I cannot figure out exactly how to change the left side navigation bar correctly, would you be willing to help?

Updates Not Reflecting Visually, But Still Go Through
Hey Mike, I've noticed that from time to time Updates that are made don't reflect. You know the update went through when you do see it sometimes show up, and it's there listed on your Contributions Pave of your User Page. But, on occasion I've noticed Updates not "display" on a Page that's edited. It does eventually go "display" the latest Update, but is this normal? Is it cookie related? I've also noticed Time Stamp issues sometime display the wrong Date/Time of the last Update (even-though the History reflects the right info).

Can you shed any light on why this may happen from time to time? Again, we know the Updates go through, it's just a matter of them not always showing the latest ones. This happens the most when you do an Edit while Logged in, but come back later while logged out. You see the latest Edits while logged in, but not while logged out.

Re: Alliance infobox

Military infoboxes
Pages that use WPMILHIST Infobox style and the infoboxes that use it, such as Philippine Air Force, are screwed up for me. The styles for headings don't get applied properly - they show up as text. Is the same thing happening for you? I've spent at least an hour looking at those templates (including an attempt to reproduce the error by using the code as it would look without using templates, which failed), so I really don't want to see them anymore :P. Do you see what would be causing that? Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 20:53, Sunday, 21 November 2010 (ET)
 * Okay, thanks. I wasn't aware that they had changed the software, though. What did they change that broke that template? Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 18:19, Monday, 22 November 2010 (ET)
 * Okay :P In other news, I found out through a random comment on Community Central that it is still possible to use Monaco! - with "&useskin=monaconew" instead of "&useskin=monaco" (or "?useskin=monaconew" for pages not using /index.php?title=blahblahblah). So I was wondering if there was a way to add that to all internal links. I tried hard to learn the JS to do that, and maybe I was trying to make it overly complicated as usual, but it was way too complicated for me :P. Would you be able to do that? Don't worry about it if it would take too much effort. Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 23:23, Monday, 22 November 2010 (ET)

 * Awesome. Apparently I have a lot to learn about JS :P. But for some reason, that isn't working for me. It works as Opera user JS, but doesn't work in any other browser or in Opera without adding it to user JS. :S What am I doing wrong? Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 00:25, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 (ET)

Yeah, sorry, my wording was confusing. What I meant was, it isn't working in User:Bobogoobo/wikia.js for any browser. It only works when I add it to the Opera browser JS. Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 00:40, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 (ET)
 * I forgot to try removing all of the other JS. That leads me to think that something in there is causing everything else to break, and that if it is removed, everything will work again - callapsibles, USERNAME, etc. I'll test them one at a time tomorrow. (Hmm, also, it seems page preview doesn't work - it sent me to editing the last saved version of the page.) Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation 01:01, Tuesday, 23 November 2010 (ET)

 * Actually, that helped a lot. I think I have got it. Christopher "Dynasty" Dynes will become my role playing name, I'll just happen to be a leader of minority ethnicity, not a big deal. I just added in a small Greek minority in Grand Besaid's ethnicity, so that will work. I looked up Greek names and in the Early Christian (Byzantine) Era, Christopher happens to be a common name, which will work well since I'll say my character was named after Saint Christopher.

Just wondering, what is the point of MediaWiki:Newpagelayout? &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32; 12:56, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 (ET)  &#32;

Front page picture
Curious really, how exactly did you create those front pages found on the Imperial Observer. It seems so realistic that it looks as if it was really printed instead of being created off from an image generator. If they were edited, then I probably wouldn't try because I would fail, bleh, and due to my limited technical skills and time; if any easier alternative is out there, I would appreciate it. Thanks. :) --Justin (talk &bull; contribs) 23:46, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Capitalization
Oh, sorry, didn't realize that. Still looked like my capitalization "correction" made nearly no changes at all to any template (either that or I didn't check). I always thought it was an error...just lying there and no one noticed it lol. Sorry. X|--Justin (talk &bull; contribs) 23:38, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Analysis
Thanks for providing me the links. Creating a factbook on other nations is the least roleplay I can do in showing how much I actually read them. Hopefully, I will one day document an archive of factbooks of the major nation pages on this wiki...though I intend on keeping it limited to STOP nations and by request. I will look up those formats you given me. Thanks! :) --Justin (talk &bull; contribs) 03:02, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
thanks for all your help MvP! MvP would you know how i can add the auto-count factor from the nation infobox to the one i'm creating for my nation? Rogal Dorn/Infobox Please just drop me a PM if you're going to edit it because i'm still adding stuff to it. thank you very much again. &#32; Rogal Dorn Talk qwerty nation  &#32;  March 26, 2011 (ET)


 * Ya, surely. Like how you input the date your nation was established and it automatically fills in how many days old your nation is "Established 8/14/2010 (224 days old)" The bolded portion is what I mean on the regular nation infobox when it's displayed, how it's automatically shown you don't actually input how many days old your nation is, I hope this makes sense MvP. Thanks again! &#32; Rogal Dorn Talk qwerty nation  &#32;  March 26, 2011 (ET)


 * Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for good sir! Thank you so much for all your help tonight. &#32; Rogal Dorn Talk qwerty nation  &#32;  March 26, 2011 (ET)

Time template
Sorry to bother you again, but if you have the time, would you kindly produce a "time" template similar to Template:Disparu/JubilifeTime? My capital city is based in the real-world so my time is in the. Currently, I'm in so the time is  instead. Could you do the same by making it here: ? Thanks!

Preferred display should be this: (example) 12:00 AM, March 24, 2011, JBR City, JBR

If you cannot display the "AM", "PM" thing, then you can just do the 1:00-24:00 one. :)

Hi MvP, can you change my crappy JPG-looking PNG roleplay flag to a flashy and smooth SVG pic (similar to all the other flags you uploaded)?

Map
Hi, I was looking for someone who could make a map for my RP, but so far, no one could do it. I was wondering if you are able to do it (I'm no expert when it comes to geography and computer graphics :P).

The United States of JBR accompanies the counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, San Louis Obispo, and Imperial and the Channel Islands. I would also like to note that, on the same picture, you can add a smaller inset within the image showing the JBRican possessions (e.g.,, , and . Please take the borders out, take out the names, and try copying the shape onto the world map (much similar to this in style:

I also need you to add the Nevadan county of Clark (where Las Vegas and Area 51 are at), the Arizonan counties of Mojave, La Paz, and Yuma, and the Baja Californian municipals of Mexicali, Tecate, Rosarito Beach, and Tijuana.

Also, for my secondary RP country, Central Kingdom, I would like to same style of imaging based on the Californian counties shown below. Include only the counties of Tulare, Kings, and Fresno.

For Gauntletia, it would only employ. For Kern, it will only employ. And for the Democratic People's Republic of California, it would include the counties of San Fransisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, San Benito, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, and Marin. (Use this one as a reference if you need to see closer:

And last but not least, for the entire Californian Union, employ all of counties and areas aforementioned above.

Sorry for all of this work, this is only a request. I will be patient and you can delete this message after you finish it. If you can't, I understand. If you wish for me to clarify more on the borders, you can leave me a message. Thanks. &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 04:49, July 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would still be acceptable. Thanks. &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 16:38, July 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Whoa! That looks great. Can't wait to see the final product! :) &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 04:26, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Permission
I would like permission to use this file for the National Unionist Party of the United States of JBR. Would it be alrite if I mentioned in the article that National Unionism emerged from the JBRican States instead of Großgermania (this is due to the JBRican States' exclusive involvement with the Post-Dissolution Sphere)? If not, I'll just skip on this page&mdash;I was just interested in adding another political party. Thanks in advance. &#32; JustinVuong | Talk | Nation  &#32; 21:23, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re: masthead
Yeah, I'm going to play with the alignment and stuff. You're too good at stalking :P &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;22:29, Sunday, 28 August 2011  &#32;
 * Yeah, I thought that was what it was. Seems it's gone now, as is the info bar (the removal of which actually made some things worse). The stuff I was trying to do with the masthead wasn't working, so I'm going to try something else. What is div.blackout? &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;23:19, Sunday, 28 August 2011  &#32;
 * Alrighty, I'm done messing around. I think it looks pretty nice now, to me anyway. Until they change it again. :/ Also, one thing I noticed was that people with edits numbering 10,000 or greater have an extra line in their mastheads, meaning it takes a little bit more vertical space. Not sure why that is. As of now it still hasn't updated my CSS to show the different background color I'm trying on the tabs, so I won't be able to see how that looks until tomorrow. Also, whatever the little triangle thing that was between the avatar and the tally is, it hasn't disappeared (currently showing on my user page as a diagonal gray line under the Talk tab) and I can't find it in the code so I don't know how to remove it. Any ideas? &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;01:43, Monday, 29 August 2011  &#32;
 * Woot, triangle gone, everything's all good now (I might work on reducing the height if I feel like it sometime). That was fun :P Thanks for the help :D &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;15:28, Monday, 29 August 2011  &#32;
 * That's odd, doesn't happen to me. I'm not sure I even can fix it without breaking something else. I blame your browser :P &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;15:38, Monday, 29 August 2011  &#32;
 * Actually I meant for it to break in half like that, otherwise there's a giant white space after the message. I like the Chromium one, I want the username to be bolded :P But it's whatever browser you're using that breaks off part of the padding at the beginning for some reason. &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;16:00, Monday, 29 August 2011  &#32;
 * Actually, I don't remember why I put that space there. There's already a space after the message. o_O Would it work if I just removed that space entirely? &#32; Bobogoobo | Talk | Nation &#32;18:01, Monday, 29 August 2011  &#32;
 * Yes, but then the last word of the message gets dragged along to the next line too :P. So two spaces sounds good.

I've actually never used Edittools for some reason. o_O Well, the main thing I want to fix is the font.

I guess your browser hates Wikia too :P It works fine for me. Also I hate the preview being in popup (especially since user CSS doesn't get applied to it). Also, what is with this random "more +" button at the top when editing a talk page?

 * Yeah, I dunno why it's different from mine. There's already a post on Community, I guess I'll try it. I mean the other more + :P It's like a collapsible but the only thing in it is blank space. Can you still use shortcuts to save? Alt-Shift-S is the current one I think.

Re: Symphony infobox
Thank you for the comment on my talk page and the links provided. It is unfortunate that you interpreted it as "lecturing an administrator" when in fact I was merely responding to the demand for an explanation. Just as you have a right to interject yourself into discussion, I have a right to respond to, question, and initiate discussion with other users, including Admins.

In response to your links and the implication that we do not follow guidelines, I'll offer this: It's worth pointing out, once again, that other users and Admins have visited and made edits to Symphony's wiki page over the last year plus without complaint or issue. If something on the Symphony page did indeed violate a rule, or if there was an error in the code, then we would make and/or honor any necessary changes. In this case, however, it is a matter of mere preference and aesthetics, and Talk would have been more appropriate and appreciated than what in fact took place.

Another question MvP
Hey MvP I was wondering if you could help me find something. I'm looking for a way to display when a user was last active and/ also made their last edit. Similar to how it's displayed on the Special:ListUsers page. Along with that I was wondering if it were possible to display how active a user has been via over a period of time, say 1,3, 6 months.

The reason I'm asking is I was bored trying to think of a way of remembering active wiki contributors and ways to contact them whether they're super active or some of their cases their alliance's "go-to guy" for updating their wiki page(like how Mompson is NpO's guy and Keshav is Valhalla's guy).
