Editing
Hey, I've seen your concerns about editing, and trust me- it's not as hard as it sounds! Start off by fixing some grammatical errors (no coding skills required), and then you'll eventually learn what different things mean. If you need help, you can contact me or leave a message on the Ink Pump, and someone will help you out! I'm sure you have a lot to contribute! :) -  Shrimp Pin  02:54, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Editing Pictures
Could you show me how to add pictures without them ending up as URL's and rather the actual photo?

Thanks, --Sigma   talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I've seen your image edits, and you can't add images that aren't added internally; You have to upload them here. It's recommended that you check if the image you're uploading is not already on Inkipedia, and that you make sure to add catagorization and licensing tags for convenience. Other than that, make sure you read through the Inkipedia Image Guidelines, and you're all set. ~CreatorGX  (Talk ) 19:36, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, CreatorGX. I still am confused on what to do when uploading an image, but I was wondering if you could fix the mistakes I made and I promise I will try my best to figure out how to upload images correctly. --Sigma   talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Already taken care of, no problem here. As for your confusion, let me know exactly what you're having trouble with regarding image uploading, and I'll help you to the best of my ability. :) ~CreatorGX  (Talk ) 20:27, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't really understand any of it. I wanted to know how to upload the images so I could add some in the Splatfest page, because right now they are still URL's.

--Sigma   talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I figured it out!
I just sucsessfully uploaded an image! I just guessed and it actually worked! I appreciate your assistance, ShrimpPin and CreatorGX. I couldn't of done this without you guys. :D

--Sigma   talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I was putting together a quick screenshot guide to try to help, but it looks like you figured it out on your own; I'll still share it, in case you need a refresher later (or if anyone else gets stuck on uploading) - http://imgur.com/a/DG3rM :) Kaioora (talk) 21:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Kaioora. I appreciate the support.

Phew, that's enough adding images for me. I did a lot. Well, see you guys tomorrow! :)

RE: Editing
Hey! You can edit the page. That message is just a note; you can ignore it and start editing below in the text field. Sorry for any confusion! If this doesn't work, let me know. -  Shrimp Pin  14:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Skype
By the way, at Inkipedia, we use a Skype group text chat as our main form of communication. This helps us let our editors know about upcoming events, current projects, and more. Would you be interested in joining? -  Shrimp Pin  14:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

But if I can I would be more than happy to speak with everyone.
 * I'd love to! The only problem is, I don't know if I'm allowed to get a Skype just yet, my parents are somewhat protective.

--Sigma   talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's completely understandable! :) If you want, you can ask them. We don't use any voice chat or video chat- it's strictly text, so there should be no privacy concerns there. If they still say no, then that's fine! We can communicate with you here. Happy splatting! -  Shrimp Pin  16:13, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Voting
It looks like you either haven't voted on GuyPerfect's request for rights, Lumoshi's demotion, or both. Please consider reading those issues and voting on them! Thanks, NepetaLast (talk)


 * I just did both. Thanks for the sources!

Barnsquids
Even though I wasn't on the site at the very time, could I add a Team Cat Barnsquid onto my profile?

Promotion
Promotion Notice

Congratulations, ! as of 14:52, 12 August 2015 (UTC), you have been given Patroller rights. Contact ShrimpPin for more information.


 * Thank you so much, ShrimpPin!

I will try to do my absolute best at being a Patroller on this site. Before I do, could you give me the basics of what a Patroller does?

Thanks again, --<font color="#ff370a">Sigma  <font color="#ff370a"> talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey Sigma, I got Patrollership as well. From what it seems, pages and their edits can now be marked as "patrolled", to ensure a Patroller or Admin has seen and reviewed the edit (Should show up on newer edits, but not your own). This seems to be a means to prevent vandalism on various wikis. ~<font color="#00FFFF">CreatorGX  (<font color="#008b8b">Talk ) 18:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, thanks CreatorGX. By vandalism do you mean copying images from this site and putting it on other wikis? --<font color="#ff370a">Sigma  <font color="#ff370a"> talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * No, wiki-vandalism is more along the lines of editing pages with blatently false, derogatory, or harmful information. (See Wikipedia's page on vandalism to get a better idea.) ~<font color="#00FFFF">CreatorGX  (<font color="#008b8b">Talk ) 20:51, 12 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay! Thank you for clearing that up.

Thanks, --<font color="#ff370a">Sigma  <font color="#ff370a"> talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like Creator explained Patroller before I could! Please note that by being a Patroller, you're expected to be very active. Patrollers should be the first responders when the wiki is vandalized, and their work is vital in ensuring the success of the wiki. And yes, I can help out with your user page- what information do you want to use? -  Shrimp Pin  01:50, 13 August 2015 (UTC)


 * For my profile, could I have my top three weapons in Turf War (N-Zap 89', Aerospray RG, Inkbrush), my top three weapons in Ranked Battle (N-Zap 89', Slosher, Gold Dynamo Roller), and my top three favorite stages (Moray Towers, Saltspray Rig, Port Mackerel)?

Also, I may not always be active because I have school coming up in two weeks and I'm usually up at my local pool or running errands. I will try my best, but I can't assure I will be active when it happens.

Thanks, --<font color="#ff370a">Sigma  <font color="#ff370a"> talk 14:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Profile
Does that look okay? -  Shrimp Pin  14:42, 15 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It's awesome! Thank you so much, ShrimpPin!

Reverting Edits
Please don't revert other users' user/talk page edits unless they are on your own pages or violate the policy. Thanks! -  Shrimp Pin  17:41, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

When did I do that?

 * Guessing it was this edit Shrimp is referencing. 23:21, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * He may have just misclicked. I've done that twice since I gained rollback powers (both times I immediately put it back). - <font color="#FF3399">IanMS00  <font color="#FF00FF"> talk 23:36, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I guess you accidentally reverted my message on AmbientDinosaur's talk page, but it's all good. I added it back. :) No worries! -  Shrimp Pin  23:46, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I was wondering what the heck was happening <_< AmbientDinosaur (talk) 00:19, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

My apologies.

Sorry again, --<font color="#ff370a">Sigma  <font color="#ff370a"> talk 21:58, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

RE:
You can check your edits by clicking "Preferences" at the top. That will tell you the number of edits you've made! And also, I know that Azoth speaks Japanese. Unfortunately, the only language I know is English, so I won't be much help in translating the Japanese Splatfest messages. Sorry about that! - 18:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

RE: Splatfest Colors

 * Nailed it, good job pointing out the differences in the colors. The only thing that had to be tweaked was the Ink and InkG templates and it was good to go. :) ~<font color="#00FFFF">CreatorGX  (<font color="#008b8b">Talk ) 22:10, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
