Hello. Please leave me a message. I love messages. :D

RE: Hai
Check your inbox. :) — Pika churin
 * Considering that the article contains several violations to the Manual of Style, and is now void since Warbuck has been kicked out of TDO, I agree that something should be done with it. We can request an admin to delete it, or we can move it to a new name and "archive" it. What do you think? — Pika churin

TDO Charter
No, it should not. 'The' is simply an article, after all. The only reason it is capitalized in 'The Democratic Order' is because it is the first word. Compare The International or The German Empire. Both of these articles have the 'The' capitalized, however, when one is mentioning them or even linking to them in a sentence, it is not: "...is a protectorate between the International and the..."

- Spreading Socialism All Over the World with Haruhi Suzumiya's Brigade

"...is the supreme head and monarch of the German Empire and all power..."

- The German Empire

Similarly, article titles regarding them, and thus TDO and any other alliance using 'The' as its first word, follow suit: Constitution of the International, History of the International, Constitution of the German Empire, and, now that I've noticed and moved it, History of the Democratic Order.

Thank you very much for contacting me about this; I hope I've adequately explained it. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation

Hey
Why did u edit the ADI Gov't Page, it was fine as it was

Categories
Well, there's different types of templates, and each type has a specific use. All of them usually involves advanced wikicode, though. What kind of template are you thinking about? I might be able to create one for you. — Pika churin
 * You can create one just like any other page, just remember to add  before the category's name. For example, if I want to create a member category for the Evil Pikachus, I would create the category with the following name:  . Any alliance that's actually an alliance can have one. — Pika churin
 * Well, MvP once said that an alliance is any in-game alliance that has two or more members. — Pika churin
 * As I recall, I took a lot of crap for that statement, too. Regardless, even a one-man alliance could have a category if it had enough pages related to it.  In fact, pretty much anything can have it's own category if it has enough pages relating to it.  Category:Großgermania has numerous subcategories containing pages related to my nation.  Category:Karma War has pages relating to the Karma War.  Just pretty much make a category where it's warranted.   Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

Warbuck's HS Article
I'm not really sure about the article either, so it might be better if you ask an admin's opinion about the article. — Pika churin

RE:Robster83
It's probably a matter of personal preference, or it depends on the content of the article. Some people have their ruler names as the article name even though their article is partially about their nation, and vice versa. — Pika churin

RE: Page deletion, charters
Hey, sorry it took so long to respond. The page in question has already been cleaned up by Wikia Staff, looks like it was cross-wiki spam.

As for charters... generally, you can format charters (adding headings, changing br-tagged lists to bulleted lists, br-tagged or bulleted ordered lists to numbered lists) as well as correct obvious spelling mistakes. Beyond that, I'd not go into editing them without proof that they've been actually changed by the alliance in question. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation

RE: Personal text
There is no way to do that. The wiki, by nature of what it is, is a public place. If it's not sensitive information - that is to say, it's just stuff that others don't need to see, as opposed to stuff they shouldn't see - you could always create a page such as User:Bobogoobo/notes. That way, you could store the notes there without it being immediately visible to anyone who sees your user page (though they always could find it if they cared enough to look). Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation
 * Well, you can use tags to prevent stuff from showing up except when editing, you could always use that.

As for the statsdate, it used to be used, but after someone updated the infobox, it stopped being used. I tried re-inserting it a while back and failed. I'm really unfamiliar with the syntax of that infobox, though. Pikachurin's done some work on it, he may be more able to help you. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation

Necromancy
Nope. I do it all the time. :P — Pika churin

Nation infobox/text box
I'll see what I can do with statsdate tomorrow. As for the text box that acts like an image, I don't really see what you mean. Are you talking about a separate infobox that can be added under Nation Infobox? — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * MvP has re-added  to Nation infobox, so that should solve the problem. — <font color="Goldenrod">Pika <font color="Goldenrod">churin
 * Only with your coding help :P Really, I do hate wikitables. <_<  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

RE: Your comments
First, regarding the nation infobox. I'm not sure why you say it's only displaying one such line, on my screen it is still displaying many (your nation infobox, for example, has 11 such lines.

As for the avatar, he can be reached on IRC as Baltus[wF] (or possibly Baltus|wF) if you wish to contact him. Michael von Preußen  voicemail  •  nation
 * Ah, yeah, that's a mistak I made once, too :P  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation

RE: Capitalization
Generally, dates fall under their own section of Wikipedia's MoS (which we, of course, incorporate). Under such, the date would always be written with a number 10, either as "10 January 2010" or as "January 10, 2010". The only reason the date should be written out is if you are quoting something, such as their charter, in which case I personally would capitalize it, but that's entirely discretionary as far as I can tell.

Re: Thanks
The userbox is made with this template. Come to think of it, I should probably write documentation for that. The box you mention is made with this code: First field is border, second is background, third is the picture, forth is text, float determines page position (left, right, center), align is how the text is aligned in the box, color is the color of the text.

 * I've edited the template with some more relevant documentation, take a look: Userbox  Locke   Talk  •  Alestor     22:26, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * That appears correct to me and works when I test it. Where were you trying to use it?  Locke   Talk  •  Alestor     22:51, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just been making coding changes to the template, try it again now.  Michael von Preußen   voicemail  •  nation   9:53, Décadi, 30 Nivôse CCXVIII
 * Yes it works now, thank you. And now I see how bad mine looks, time to find different colors :P --Bobogoobo (talk &bull; contribs) 22:56, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Pagename
When is added to a page, it displays the page's actual name, but without the namespace (a namespace is the prefix found on certain pages, such as User:, Talk:, et cetera). For example, using on this page would result in.

I've been adding it to several user pages in order to categorize them correctly in Category:Users. If your user page was added to Category:Users without, it would be categorized under "U" since the page actually starts with "U". However, if was added, it would be categorized under "B".
