User talk:RAP/Archive 7

Hello shortlives, I'm RAP. You may also call my first name, Ryan. I'm with a dragon I'd been with for over quite some time now, her name's Hooktail. Yeah yeah, you know that first boss from PM2? Yes, she's with me in this wiki! Anyway, drop by and talk to me once in a while! Later shortlives.

Adding collaborative videos to your Wiki
Hello,

My name is Avigail Perl and I work with all our Wiki partners here at Kaltura. As you may have heard, through a partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, Kaltura has developed a collaborative video extension to the MediaWiki software. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Collaborative_Video)

What this means is that ANY site using MediaWiki software can add the Kaltura collaborative video extension to its wiki easily and quickly today, by adding the software extension that is available for download. Looking at your Wiki I thought you might be interested in adding our new collaborative video extension. With this capability, any of your users can add images, videos and sounds to the collaborative videos created, or edit them using the full-featured online video editor (with full history and versioning similar to the text-wiki).

In order to add this collaborative video extension to you site, all you need to do is:

1.      Apply for a Partner ID here:  http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/signup 2.     Download the Kaltura MediaWiki extension here: sourceforge.net/projects/kaltura/ 3.     Add the extension to your site

I’d love to discuss this in more detail, answer any questions and help move this forward. Thank you, Avigail

Patroller
Hey there! We're currently looking for a new patroller as Plumber retired. I'm quite unable to monitor editing because I've got a lot to do and am not online during the American day. Could you look for a new one? - 16:26, 10 February 2008 (EST)

I said to ban me :( No 22:59, 11 February 2008 (EST)

Hi!
Hi RAP, welcome back!!

Renames
Uhm...I don't know if you saw it, but I didn't rename dummmmy and Dry Bones because they currently are violating the rules on User sub-pages, they don't have them linked from their user pages. And there you come and steal me my reason to bug them about this. >.> What should I do, issue warnings? - 16:23, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Image quality thing

Egg roll
I know it's not official I just thought it would be cool to have it on there sorry Koopa-Troopa

Hey Shortlife! Howya doing this late?

Do you ever sleep? Cuz since you live in california it's like 2 in the morning and Im here in florida at 5:50 am...

RAP!
RAP! Guess what? Xzelion-Wears-Freaky-Hats-Only-On-Mondays-And-Tuesdays-But-Sometimes-Makes-Exeptions-When-All-Of-His-Other-Hats-Are-Missing is spamming and has an unacceptable username!

Hello
Can I have my name changed to " Garlic Man " ? This is the first time ever that I have changed my name, so I'm going by the rules.
 * Hey RAP, just saying hi for no reason :P

Patroller #3
I don't think it would hurt, considering that we had a lot of spam lately, but also other work like deleting images (everyone is uploading Brawl trophy images currently, and we end up with the same images several times because of it). - 17:15, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * Uh, Patroller's can't delete images. --Blitzwing 17:20, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * Also a point. Oh my, I don't even know the competences any more. x| See, that's why I'm letting RAP decide on this, I have to get more active on this wiki again. - 17:22, 2 March 2008 (EST)


 * I know I don't know you, but I think you and Cobold made two excellent choices for the new Patrollers. ;)
 * I'd have to agree and say that three Patrollers (four tops) would be enough for this site. *pets Hooktail* Hey, she didn't bite! That's one cool dragon you've got there! ;)

Delete some of my personal images
Hey, RAP. Can you delete these images for me?

I've looked all over for a trusty sysop and I chose you.

Thanks a million!

P.S. If your brothers are users, may I see their userpages?

''' I'm in a dilema! EVERYTHING for Super Mario Wiki Adventures and MarioWiki Story is lost. My USB pen died. So I could either make a comeback (It'll take a LOONG time) or quit cause If I do make a comeback, My PC will be filled with Images and My PC is slow so what should I do? Continue or Quit? '''

Re: Languages
Well, you shouldn't take it all serious. ;) German yes, English duh, Swedish I'm learning in my first year, I'm coming along quite slow. Latin - we only ever learned to translate it to German, never to write our own Latin sentences. Pretty useless. L33t - n0t 4ll t00 m|_|c|-|. However, I'm currently also learning Irish Gaelic. Níl mórán Gaeilge agam. ;) - 11:42, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Thankyy
Thanks for fixing the mistakes i made on my page:-) Blue  Koop C

Yes, i've heard of hhoktail, a battled her but i'll watch out if she is out to eat me  Blue  Koop C

Question
Could you turn your table for trophies into a template? maybe results less hard to edit the table on the artciles.

Patrollers
Okay, I have closed the patroller debate and promoted our patrollers to sysop. To keep a reasonable number of sysops, we should watch out on sysops like, and , who have been quite inactive within the last month(s), and see if a demotion would be justified. If they come back, they can of course always be considered for re-promotion. - 15:09, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * You guys can take my admin powers if you wish, since I haven't been active since August. I would, however, like it if I could have them back if I ever decide to return fully. -- 15:32, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually, I think KPH has been reasonably active. You should add Son Of Suns to that list, he hasn't edited since October. --Blitzwing 15:38, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, actually no need to add him to the list, he's too inactive. KPH2293: That's what I meant with my last sentence. Sysops are chosen for activeness, trust and wiki knowledge. When they are inactive and but then return, they don't lose their trust. We'd always be glad to welcome you back in the league. ;) - 15:44, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Thank you. :) Anyway, I'll pop in occasionally, and I'll drop a line on your talk page if I ever decide to return fully. -- 15:57, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Image Chaos
USer:Nega-Mario is uploading a rediculous amount of personal images (about 15), without even putting the PI template. Something should be done quickly. Just letting you know.


 * I did a recall to him. I looked that he was removing some images by that.

Friends?
Excuse me, RAP, but can I add you and Hooktail onto my friends list? We are cool on the whole Gloomtail thing, right? By the way, Gloomtail once called me "Hawkie." Isn't that wierd?

Hi
I haven't seen you for a while but how have things been going?
