Hello, I am sending this message in regard to a section of this site that deals with information regarding an, AU. The AU that I am refering to is Equestria Divided. Now on this site it is labeled Total War: Equestria Divided. This story setting was solely created and the pictures done by the artist known as PoorYorick. It has come to the attention of the Equestria Divided fan group on FimFiction.net that an fan by the name of Arisaka has posted the information of Equestria Divided on this site and has done so under the guise that he is also to be created with the settings creation. We would like for that section to be edited or removed so that the proper title Equestria Divided is shown and that Arisaka's name be removed from the credits. The author and community would appreciate your help on this situation. If there is anything we can do on this end please contact us at the Equestria Divided fan group on Fimfiction.net.

 * I just saw Arisaka removed his name already. I'll go ahead and move the page then (just fixing a malformed external link right now). -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 04:06, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

tiarawhy is not a girl
Proof Tiarawhy is currently male: —Preceding unsigned comment added by HeartSh0ck (talk • contribs) 12:59, May 16, 2013 (PDT)
 * So that is tiarawhy, right, and that picture was freely posted by him/her? According to a point on our about page:

"It also means that you should not do 'original research' when it comes to describing real people. Only information freely divulged by the person in question (whether on their own websites or channels, or in interviews) is allowed on the wiki."
 * So even if that is him/her, if it wasn't freely divulged by him/her (as in, posted on his/her official sites and all), it's unusable as a source for the wiki. -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 22:54, May 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * This was freely divulged to me and MLPG over Skype, MLPG stands for "My Little Pony General" on 4chan's /mlp/ board and Tiarawhy's gender is public knowledge and has been for a while now.
 * Source: http://arch.413chan.net/mlpgeneral/

 * Things shared over Skype are not publicly available information, by this wiki's standards. As for those other two links could you give more specific links? I don't really feel like digging through the pages to find the information needed. I'll give you 24 hours, give or take, and then I'll revert the page if you haven't given the more specific links yet.-- 02:13, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

[Edit conflict]
Um, dude, no disrespect and all, but while you were flagging my page, i was adding all the information, and I couldnt add anything because of the changes you made WHILE i was editing... So like... yeah, thanks for nothing dude... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumblebee101 (talk • contribs) 23:10, May 18, 2013 (PDT)
 * If you took the information, then copy pasted it again (i.e. copy the page that you wrote, then exit the editing window, and enter back into it, then paste the page into the text box; make sure you're in source mode, though; visual mode causes a whole heap of problems), that's one way to circumvent an edit conflict. Though, I suppose you're new here and didn't know that, so I must apologize for my haste in editing the page so soon after creation. -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 06:16, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Heyo
Just happened to make my once-every-couple-weeks/months visit. Hope you enjoy those MediaWiki pages :3 That's one of my favorite parts about MediaWiki, I and others can fix all the derps they make without having to hack every single thing. Anyway, just saying hi I guess :P. Hm, if you don't mind me asking, do you use Skype? I like having people on there to bounce ideas off of and have ideas bounced off of me by and such. Though, you can ask Food, I tend to ramble a lot of lines of random stuff while he's away :P. ~Bobogoobo (talk) 13:51, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I use Skype; I could send you my username using the emailuser function, though I suppose it's not that hard to guess. :3-- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 22:31, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Requesting page deletion: Aurum Noble
Hi,

The vandalism on my page has started again, so I have no option but to request swift deletion of my page. The people that've been making malicious edits have been slandering me for so long, and despite my efforts, I cannot stop them, not even by blocking them.

Also, someone made a false accusation about me stalking a VA to the extent that she blocked me, which is absolutely untrue.

AurumNoble (talk) 15:34, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've indefinitely protected it for now; they won't be able to edit the page, but they might still be able to leave comments; I'll try and check in on the comments section every once in a while just to see. Also, if you need to edit the page, I can unlock it for you, and if the vandals happen to return while I'm away, contact the VSTF to undo the damage, block the vandals, and protect the page again (if necessary). I dunno if they can delete harassing comments, but if they can't (not that they couldn't technically, but rather if they're allowed to), I would imagine Wikia Staff could. If the situation ever gets badly out of control, then I will go ahead and delete the page, per your wishes.
 * Also, I saw that accusation; if that user (or anyone else) makes it again, I will certainly block them.-- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 20:29, May 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks.


 * AurumNoble (talk) 20:34, May 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again,


 * I've now decided that I want my page to be deleted. Although the vandalism problems are now over, I've felt that it's no longer appropriate for me to have a page that is self created, and because I've now become a journalist, I no longer want a page of my own here, and most of all, I don't want anyone to be reminded of the amount of slander this page has suffered.


 * Thanks.


 * AurumNoble (talk) 15:01, June 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, there's really nothing wrong with having a self created page; but I completely understand your reasons for wanting the page deleted. I've removed your entry from Music, changed your entries on List of artists and List of musicians to external links, and deleted your page.-- 19:56, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki collapsible tables
The collapsible and collapsed classes have been updated in the following namespaces: main, template, user and user talk (starting at A), help, forum, and project. The file namespace and other unlisted namespaces were not covered. –Throwy 07:38, May 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you! -- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 19:31, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Custom signature
I notice whatever custom signature I make for myself carries over across all Wikia's. But the MLP Wikia uses a template that this Wikia apparently doesn't have, causing my sig to look weird. What looks like this on the MLP Wikia...

...looks like this here.

Can I fix this? 20:32, May 31, 2013 (UTC) (see what I mean? XD)
 * Haha, yes, I see. Hm, I'm just wondering if the cache needs to update, like it doesn't quite know yet that your signature page has been created. One thing I can think of is: is the "I want to use wikitext in my signature" box checked on the FiM Wiki, but not this one? Anyway, try pasting this into your custom signature box:

User:ImperfectXIII/Sig
 * and then see if you get your signature, or the latter, plainly formatted one. If none of this works, I'd try sending a bug report ticket to Wikia, because that's all the possible fixes that I can think of.-- This is Jonny Manz, signing off! 20:54, May 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. (At least it did before I restored and re-deleted the page at User:ImperfectXIII/Sig to test the change. So I'll just wait until the cache refreshes. Thanks a lot.) 21:36, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * I found out what it was: Nosubst didn't exist on this wiki. XD I can't believe I didn't think to check for that sooner.-- 00:27, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Equestria Divided's page
It's not only the image on Equestria Divided's page, an image coming from Warhammer 40k Dawn of War video game. It is also the fact that Equestria Divided AU solely belongs to http://pooryorickda.deviantart.com/, and nothing he hasn't directly published, written, ... himself is official nor canon to his AU. I invite you to contact him to talk about the matter. He has also an account on fimfiction : http://www.fimfiction.net/user/PoorYorick

There were also a few typos here and here.

88.185.96.196 21:24, June 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. Nah, I'll just take your word for it. If there are any further problems, contact me, as I know nothing about this AU, and so just trust what contributors place into the article, whether it's true or not. If there's ever a serious problem with people adding false information to the article, have PoorYorick contact me here, and I can block whoever is doing so; though like I said, for the most part, I'm taking a hands off approach to this article because I don't know anything about the subject matter.-- 21:29, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the groups on fimfiction and on deviantart aren't called "Total War : Equestria Divided" but "Equestria Divided". http://www.fimfiction.net/group/197422/equestria-divided

http://pooryorickda.deviantart.com/

If you look at the compared revisions, you will see that I fixed a typo : "Twilight seems" and not "Twilight seem".

Pooryorick hasn't said anything about Equestria Divided being related to Total War.

The characters Doubleday, Earthborn Commander of the Doubleday Battalion, Caderia and Swordwind aren't canon to Pooryorick's work.

There is now more than 8 fanfics based on Equestria Divided.

That is why I was doing these changes.

88.185.96.196 21:44, June 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok, that makes sense. Well, I'm not interested in getting involved in that concept, so if you say that what you're doing is accurate, I'll go ahead and believe you.-- 18:32, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Bronies wiki
Trying to enforce the no fics rule but it is facing opposition.

http://bronies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:23863#3Daipenmon (talk) 14:56, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't go on that wiki at all, so I don't think it would be fair for me to try and weigh in on that issue; I only replied on that other thread because I wanted to make sure the rules were clear (didn't want to have to waste time explaining, after the fact, that this wiki is not a fanfiction repository, but rather a fan labor encyclopedia, and the fics must be hosted elsewhere).-- 22:19, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Is this long enough?
Hello. I'm thinking about making an article about my series One Twi Three: Live the dream.

The Plot: Twilight Sparkle begins her quest of being a rockstar. It's kinda obvious that she'll meet some obstacles, but she will overcome them somehow and make it big.

The Chars: The Mane 6 (with Twilight Sparkle being the main protagonist) and Vinyl Scratch on a few episodes.

The question: is it long enough to make a summary about this?

Thanks for your time. -wikiman meet. talk. 00:51, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it published anywhere? For an ideal article, the summary should be about 10-15% the word count of the original fan fiction; but for a series, that requirement is reduced, if they're all on a single page, that is.-- 05:36, June 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Link: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/88936/one-twi-three-live-the-dream -wikiman meet. talk. 21:06, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm... in that case, I think it's long enough. Also, if there are any new characters, or existing characters are portrayed differently than in the show, you could summarize them in a characters section (for full details on writing a fan fiction page, I recommend giving this a good once-over).-- 21:18, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

[Background character pages]
I been thinking about makeing pages for more background chracters,examples include: thunderlane and cloudchaser. how limited or how much screen time should these charcters have tho have fan pages.--Orionpaxg1 (talk) 04:42, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Screentime is irrelevant on this wiki; and hell, while it's more relevant on the sister wiki, it's more about how much can be written about the character's appearances in official material. For this wiki, it's all about how prominent the characters are in fan labor (take Wild Fire as an example - I think she only appeared in one episode, but there's plenty of content for the article; same thing for her FiM Wiki article); the more content, the better (since for show characters like those, there would be no notability requirement for them to get articles; only a length requirement).
 * Also, for the love of Celestia and Luna, please please please put level two headers when leaving a new message (though of course, not whenever replying to an existing message).-- 08:02, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

Equestria Divided
Jonny Manz, could you please keep an eye on this wiki's Equestria Divided page to make sure it stays canon to PoorYorick's AU ?

88.185.96.196 10:00, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * As I have said (or implied) before, I know nothing about PoorYorick's AU, and am uninterested in learning about it (sorry, just being honest here). Tell you what, if you monitor the editing of the page (if you so like), and correct any incorrect edits, and if your corrections are ever undone, or multiple incorrect edits are done by the same user, just leave me a message here, and I'll warn the user to not edit war/insert false information, and block that user if necessary.-- 09:20, June 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, as long as you make sure typos are corrected and that you see what exactly is edited/removed in this wiki you are moderating, it should be fine. Also, the user who keeps adding false things like Total War Equestria Divided stuff is Arisaka.


 * 88.185.96.196 17:23, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll do my best to keep the page typo free.-- 21:19, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Original characters
Hi! I was asking, you can put OCs into this wiki

Thanks,Princess Hurricane Stormfall (talk) 00:02, July 7, 2013 (UTC)Princess Hurricane Stormfall


 * Not unless the OC is popular or well-known. In which case, they should have a page on the Bronies Wiki. Or you can always make your OC's page a blog post. 00:32, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, one of the requirements for an OC to get a page is that they be "notable" by meeting a popularity criterion (that is, they appear in many works besides those by the author of the original work in which they appear). Another is that the original work they appear in also have a page on the wiki, though that one tends to be a little more flexible (for example, while Nyx has Past Sins, Lauren Faust doesn't have anything).-- 02:45, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Artist wishing image deletion
Hi, sorry to bother you but I found that some of my art have been stolen and posted here against my wishes. I have tried to switch these pics out to show its wrong to steal art and not even asking permission since I am not able to delete them but the pictures still lay in the history so they are still accessable. Please can you help?

Sakuyamon (talk) 13:48, July 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll take care of it. Apologies for the inconvenience. 20:04, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, usually permission is assumed if it's just one image per page, but we require permission from the artist if it's more than about six or seven images from one artist on one page. Thank you for contacting us, though, letting us know that you wished your images removed, and thanks, Imperfect, for taking care of that.--

I'm assuming you're talking about the person I blocked? (BTW, this is the last time I'm gonna be replying in this particular thread) In a lot of cases, you're taught to use "he" and masculine pronouns when you don't know the gender of a person (or you can use the plural form, "they", though that can sometimes sound awkward; you can see I used that latter method, lol).--

A message for best pony admin
Hi, Manz! I just wanted to thank you for maintaining this lovely wiki, back when I ditched it, and you were the only active admin despite needing to study for exams. I'm also sorry for leaving at such a time. It was rather inconsiderate of me.

While I am no longer any part of the wikia community at this time, I'd like you to know that this will always be my favorite wiki, and only because of all the love and effort I see you put into it. Keep being you, Jonny! -- Abcron (talk) 19:28, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
