Great Job!
Hey Baltro great job on the Southern Swamp page. It looks great. Your on your way to becoming an admin. Now, I must jump in my warp pipe and head over to Wikitroid.(Darknut15 (talk) 04:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC))

Thanks, I appreciate it. To quote LadyNorbert, "I worked hard to flesh it out from almost nothing". I'm just glad somebody noticed it. :)  Baltro [  talk  ] 04:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Monaco stuff
For the edit bar, you could try using: .color1 { background:red; } This will change the edit bar and a number of other areas (like the page bar and widget titles), though the specific code for the edit bar is: background:red; } and the username field can be covered by    color:black; }
 * 1) edit_enhancements_toolbar {
 * 1) wikia_header a {

or

color:black; } Those should work.--Richardtalk 20:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) header_username a {
 * The  above should fix that. If not, the specific code for it would be:

background:red; color:white; }
 * 1) headerMenuUser, #headerMenuUser a, #headerMenuHub, #headerMenuHub a {

magic 900
i was checking your name on the edit count thing, and saw, that you have exactly 900 edits. just fyi -- C 2   20:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * thats a good way to go. ive been active for long enough, i think that i may run for rollback when i get to 400.  should i(when i reach 400) apply for rollback? -- C  2  Phantom Zant.png 20:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * okay thanks. ill support you, because you are such a good editor, and not a jerk because of it. -- C  2  Phantom Zant.png 20:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * no prob. :P -- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 20:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you. And what did you mean when you said "unappreciated administrators"? Shadowcrest 00:20, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Please view your Smash Wiki talk page to find out how much I care about your leave Baltro. Forenzza radio (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I don't really care what a random user whose only two edits are to my talk pages thinks.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 20:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok Baltro. I Obviously made a New Smash Wiki Name to stem any turmoil that may Rise up on a website that you are leavin'. Forenzza radio (talk) 20:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * So, you're telling me you're a user of SmashWiki that's operating a sock puppet to offend me? Great, I'll go let the admins know.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 20:24, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Not to offend you Baltro. I'm only Following suit of you explaining why everyone at Smah Wiki is so bad. But go for it, see how much They care after you pretty much belittled Smash Wiki to the lowest level possible. Now If you want to talk to me more respond on your talk page at Smah Wiki. Forenzza radio (talk) 20:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Do you have some method of external contact that I could use- email, MSN, something? (If you don't want to post either of these, send me an email (Special:Emailuser/Shadowcrest) please.)  Shadowcrest  00:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you use gchat? I added you, but it's not giving me the option. Shadowcrest  00:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I sympathize with your leaving SW. The fact that most of the Smasher pages on that place are created by non-notable, self promoting shills, as well as the fact that a greater number than is healthy of the edits are either bad grammar, done to defend their favorite character, or getting into arguments with people are some of the reasons I almost never go there anymore. When I do return on rare occasions, all I do is check for vandals, and categorize a few images, so as not to be noticed. The atmosphere there is toxic, and nobody respects the admins, as you said.-- Bek  (talk)  02:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. I used to alternate between there and here, and I'd usually spend time on just one for a few weeks before going back to the other, but since I've returned from my WikiBreak, I've realized here is the place I want to be. Here there is control, respect, rules. There they have vandals galore, as you said, "self promoting shills", and general miscreants. I don't feel sad leaving there, because I don't think I ever even seriously contributed. I got sucked into the social aspect of SmashWiki, and that's really not what it's supposed to be about. Here is just so much better. Fewer users, fewer articles, fewer headaches.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

hey
long-time-no-talk. im just picking one random person, to tell everybody that i will be gone untill monday(possibly sunday, depends when i get home). and you are that LUCKY person! o and thanx for being active enough to ensure that the message will be passed around, RIGHT?!?! *nudge* *nudge* *wink *wink* -- C 2   03:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, sure. I'll probably go inactive when I get my copy of Wii Music, or, if I don't get it, I'll buy The Legend of Zelda and/or Zelda II, as I'll be occupied. But I'll let everybody know where you went. :)  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * how long will you be inactive? exactly?-- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 03:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * o and 8 more edits before you make a thousand. -- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 03:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll probably just check Zeldapedia a few times per day for about five days, while I play any of the games. And yes, I'm strikingly close. I'm gonna grab my cup of cola (Coke would've sounded weird) and hit that thousand mark. :)  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm trying to do some cleanup on the Triforce article, but the article is so long my computer has to freeze every five seconds.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:29, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You've already left, but I hit 1,000. I was hoping my 1,000th edit could be something major, but it was just a few tweaks to the Shadow Beast article. :P  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:52, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * well your gone now, but i was able to get on for a few minutes, but when do you plan to nominate yourself for rollback!? -- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 12:50, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, August 1st. Technically I'll have been active for two months on August 5th, but four days isn't too much of a risk.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 16:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Good job.
I see you got rid of that highly inapproperiate thing on User Midna's page. I noticed when I was not logged in and checking on the site. My computer got weird and froze so I couldn't do anything about it. (Darknut15 (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC))

No problem. I'm about to give the user a warning, for now.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:31, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, in my opinion that type of junk should lead to at least a two-three day block. This site's for everybody to look up something about the Zelda universe, not to come and find something like that. Wether its a User Page or not. (Darknut15 (talk) 03:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC))

I wholeheartedly agree, but I checked his contributions, and he's had a few good edits, so I have to hope for something like his little sister got control of the computer when he was logged in or something similar.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Let's hope so. Also, if that was a sibling causing trouble, it shows an obvious lack of respect in more diminsions than one. P.S. Great jod on the edits, let me know when you are going to run for rollback and I'll vote for you.:) (Darknut15 (talk) 03:43, 19 July 2009 (UTC))

I just like to think there isn't that much badness in people. Odd sentence, yes, but I like to imagine there's a reason that edit happened besides the obvious explanation that he just wanted to vandalize. And thank you for the support. :)  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, getting the rings is muuuuuch worse. I have like 4 left to get on one set of files and like 15-20 on the other set O_O— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 03:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess there's just that one thing in every game that drives people insane (don't even get me started). Also, I hate to be rude, but can I nudge your attention to the question I left at the bottom of your talk page? :P  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

feature articles
i was just wondering, could you put the Queue for featured articles on the main page? i think that it might help, and tell people whats next for featured articles. -- C 2   13:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it works best not displayed, since then there's a surprise when you see it on the main page. We already have the previous featured articles listed on the main page, so I think that's good enough. I don't know how long I'm going to keep articles listed on the main page, but I'll probably switch in the next few days.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 19:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey no problem. If you find any images at all that need transparency or fixing of some sort, just start making a list somehwere on my talk page or something and I'll fix them :)— Triforce   14  00:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That sounds like a good idea. Do you think something like d would work, only adding to a category in need of transparency? Just a thought. I used to be able to do transparency with my mom's camera's image program, but we don't have it on our new computer, so I'm stuck with just Paint. :P  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 00:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I created Touchup and Category:Touchup candidates. It works the same as the the speedy delete/rename and could be put to good use I think.— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 01:24, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds great, I'll get right on it. Also, I should tag even .gif sprites (like the Cucco Chick one you did earlier), correct?  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, any and all images. :)— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 04:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even personal images (I've already tagged one) and guild/club images (I'm curious about File:Hyl1.jpg)? <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Personal images don't need it as they're rarely in places where transparency is useful.— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 04:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, but for images that I've tagged as needed transparency and a rename; will you just have your bot run through the pages that use the image and switch it out? I don't think that scenario applies to that many pages, as the mass-used ones are just transcluded from a template. <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 04:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Running it as we speak.— Triforce   14  04:44, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, we both got a lot done. The touchup template works great, and you uploading transparent .pngs is great. I was working on correctly categorizing userbox templates (easier said than done), and now I'm off to bed, and, according to the recent changes, as are you. :) <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 06:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Cool, now you are a rollbacker. Sorry I didn't vote for like I said I would, wasn't expecting it to happen this quick. When you run for adminstraitor, I probably won't be on here much since it will most likely be during the school year.(Darknut15 (talk) 02:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC))
 * Actually, I think I can run after three and a half months activity, and I'm pretty much at two months, and school starts late for me (I start mid-September) so I think right as I'll be able to run I'll have to return to school. Hmm, but hopefully I'll still stay active. Thank you again for the support. <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 02:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Good, I might be able to. Unfortuantly, according to my school district, its August 31. I'll check in here and there, but nothing like I have been. Well, I'll be going to Wikitroid within the next ten minutes, so I'll be there from time to time as well. I made edits there today, but they don't want one user making, for instance, fifteen edits in a row because it flushs out the admins because there isn't quite as many there as here.(Darknut15 (talk) 03:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC))

Downloaded
Well I just downloaded Majora's Mask for the VC. Also, I noticed that you were inquiring about Oracles of Ages and Seasons. I never was able to try Seasons, but I do have Ages. If you get Ages, prepare for some rather hard puzzles. That, or I'm not as good as I thought. I've actually been stuck looking for Patch; namely where he's located. Anyways, just thought I'd say hello.(Darknut15 (talk) 23:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC))


 * Thank you for the advice. You're the third to recommend Ages, I believe, so I guess if I can get my hands on it, I will play it. As for the Virtual Console, that's where I've gotten (in order) Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past, Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda, and The Adventure of Link. It's been very helpful to me. And if you've never played Majora's Mask, expect a fantastic game. <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 23:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * what that? six now? hmmmmmmmmm there should be no doubt now. :P-- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 00:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, Darknut was the third. It's still five though, so I'll take everybody's word. :) <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 00:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

sorry i didnt care to read earlier. still five is five, so there!-- C 2   00:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You make a convincing argument, Joe, but what you've just said may have convinced me even further towards Ages. I personally prefer the puzzles (I prefer Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time, for example) to the enemies, and Subrosia doesn't look that interesting to me, actually. :P <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 02:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I was ill-informed, I suppose. I thought that the games were essentially similar for the most part, like the Pokemon games FireRed and LeafGreen, or Ruby and Sapphire (which eventually got Emerald, kind of like how Seeds of Courage (with Farore, who is green like Emerald)) was supposed to be the third). <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 02:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I would like to get both, but if I may try one first, I'd prefer on playing the better of the two first (not that one is definitely better) so I'm not, ah, turned away by both of them. If that made any sense. And first is obviously the task of getting either of the games. <font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 02:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

i origenly played seasons first and still like that better but for the best play through i think ages should be plyed first then linked seasons. ages has a much better story and seasons does lack in that department but if its a linked seasons the story becomes better due to the extra cutscenes appearing at the right times. all in all i reccamend both of them and have ranked them together as my thrid favorite zelda game(s) and whould definetly reccamend playing both of them. <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 11:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
