From Civilization

Hi Robin. I found this wikia through your edits on the Freeciv wikia. Good luck fleshing this site out! --Hima 08:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder to do list of Civ1 units

I was looking at random pages and the list just happened to show up. It says to remind you.

[edit] Hey there

Hey, thanks for the praise on the categories, I hope it is valuable to you :) Anything else that I can do to help, just give me a shout. Thanks --Jonru 18:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Thanks for the welcome, Is there anyone with a vision of how the site should be organized? Dcorrin 00:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Canadian with some knowledge of Portuguese... Well, you ask "Is there anyone with a vision of how the site should be organized?" - maybe it's you? When I saw that it was a new Wikia I told Wikians in general that I doubted if it was needed. Its founder soon disappeared (though probably not because of anything I said). I want it to succeed, and have most of the desirable qualifications (Wikia skills and thousands of hours of playtime). But my prime sites here are Genealogy and New Zealand. So this gets just the occasional help from me. Robin Patterson 02:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I also don't have a lot of time, and most of the information is readily available elsewhere. Which brings me to the site design. There are not too many resources that I am aware of that actually compare the various versions of units between games (e.g. look at Chariot), so that may be of some worth. Are you aware of a resource that already exists that does inter-game comparisons? For some reason the freeciv data is not here directly, but just links to the freeciv pages, I would think that with the freeciv info being essentially without copyright issues, then that is the data that could be most easily posted here, I wanted to know if that was a conscious decision on the part of this wiki. So you are saying that there is no-one in charge here? No admins? Dcorrin 14:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greets

Found that the only sysop here is User:Wesleystuben, he's a bureaucrat and sysop. I haven't been here much, esp not recently. I know how to fix the sidebar, but as you say you have be a sysop. I have good wiki skills but not so much play time. I like fact over analysis, so making tables of info and the such-like is my speciality. If anyone gets to sysop status somehow I can explain the process or make me sysop, i'll do it and make someone else sysop to take over. I don't have enough time for this wiki as a permanent admin.Cheers --Jonru 18:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sysop Upgrade

I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done on this wiki, plenty more then me. I am sorry that I haven't really done much, I forgot about the wiki and regret not making anyone an administrator before I did. Anyways, keep up the good work and feel free to make all changes nescessary to keep the Civilization wiki rollin'. Wesleystuben 18:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

(to dcorrin) I managed to arouse Wesleystuben. I guess he or she has the user page on the watchlist. So you and I are sysops. I trust you to act responsibly! You could start with that sidebar link to the forum that you wanted. --Robin Patterson 23:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Muwah ha ha! the Power is mine! I am already admin on two other sites, I don't think that you need to be concerned. Dcorrin 16:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Progress

Congratulations to you both, long may this promotion help the wiki :) Any help I can give i'll be glad to do, i'm losing interest in the wiki I have worked on for years and am looking for a change, not that I'm a civ expert in any way though! Cheers--Jonru 16:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

my mistake. I had the wrong name, it should be Babylon. Also, I was going to separate pages like Babylon into specific pages for each game (and mod as well) so that distinctions can be made between the separate games. Also, I figured I'd be bold. I'm not going to remove any information, just putting it into a more organized form so that the site can function with the addition of varying information from several different games and mods. I realize several people have edited here but it's relatively inactive and could use a larger community which I am planning to bring once I set up some easier methods for people to add info.

Why revert all my work? Why not ask me to explain my changes? -- Mason11987 ^{(T - C - E)} 05:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I am "eased" thank you, I asked why you would revert my work because the changes were numerous but extremely minor (moving a handful of lines of text) and it's normally easier to ask about why a change was made before you revert it if you don't agree with it. Also, AFAIK the fact that I'm "new" here or that you are an admin should have little to do with authority over content. Is being bold discouraged here? Anyways, I'm making the topic you asked, you can expect it in a few. I hope you won't revert other things until then. -- Mason11987 ^{(T - C - E)} 05:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

take a look Forum:Rearrangement_of_categories. -- Mason11987 ^{(T - C - E)} 06:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Apparantly, after a review, my request for a civ4 specific wiki has been accepted, so I'm going to be working on some stuff [civ4.wikia.com over there]. You are welcome to help out and I will be sure to link back here for topics on the other civs. I'm going to get that going hopefully next week so I'll let you guys know more when it's better set up! :) -- Mason11987 ^{(T - C - E)} 22:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why??

I have been on a couple of other wikis before and I have to say i belive that this one is the most lacking.--J2n4t6o81 11:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I try to help

I will try to fill the the information I know to this wiki but I must say must knoledge base is lacking. :( sorry --J2n4t6o81 12:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Woops :(

I made a page with the wrong name. It should be pottery(CivIII) but is just pottery. how can I fix this mistake?--J2n4t6o81 11:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
