Just out of curiosity, what does it take to be an Administrator / Featured user?
 * Well, mainly you need common sense and a lot of wikia know-how... Meaning you know what actions to take when a problem arises, and have a firm grasp on wiki markup. A high edit count also helps as the higher it is, the more experienced and knowledgeable you'll be.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Your dreams
Those are some pretty cool dreams, wish my ones were like them.

Dreams
Thank you. You have some pretty cool dreams yourself. Keep 'em comin.—Matthew R Dunn 11:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That latest dream you posted sounded fun (as were many of your others). Sorry if I don't compliment you enough on those dreams, but I just thought I'd let you know that I read all your latest posts with great interest and intrigue. Keep that subconscious of yours conjure up more of those dreams. :) Matthew R Dunn 17:38, 26 July 2008

Thanks! You do the same.&mdash;Anubis 10545 17:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey man you have some great dreams with me favorite being the one where you were sheppard shooting at those ori dudes. i enjoy reding matthew r dunn dreams too you should make a page on them also. i do however hav a question who came up with the dream posting idea first you or matt? thanks
 * Thanks, and I am in the process of formulating a dream page like Matthew's, I just want to find something I can put on my userpage to replace the empty space so I can keep the images there without it looking weird. He posted his dreams first, I just liked the idea and used it.&mdash;Anubis 10545 14:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

305 Battleship
Hey its me Railgun88, I was reading your User Page when something caught my eye. I second your idea of having a far larger 305 battleship. Do you know if they are going to put it into the actually series'?-User:Railgun88
 * Unfortunately, they probably won't and I have heard nothing official regarding it. Although that would be cool. Especially if it was the size of the ship from Grace or an O'Neill-class ship. It's crazy, the Tau'ri have the most powerful ships, but they're the smallest ones in several galaxies. The introduction of one would be a good way to end the series though.&mdash;Anubis 10545 17:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

-they should make a mothership now. they have made tons of battle cruisers. just imagine, a tauri mothership with asgard tech. they should put the same type of weapon on it like the ori motherships have. but instead, theirs shoot asgard plasma beam instead of energy. it would take out hives in one shot. —SupremeCommander 20:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea. Although it takes 9 months to construct a 304. To make a ship the size of an Asgard or Ori ship (which is several times a 304's size) it would take a few years. At their current rate of ship production, that would just be impractical. Especially because 304s are such a formidable craft already. I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool though, because it would be awesome! I mean, 304s are so small already, in The Pegasus Project when the Wraith ship was firing at Odyssey, a shot of the Hive's weapons practically hit the entire backside of the Odyssey. Although it does give me some comfort that Traveler ships are smaller than 304s (shown in The Lost Tribe).&mdash;Anubis 10545 20:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Screenshots
I had a question: what program do you use to take screenshots with? Great work by the way.--DrWho42 19:24, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't use a program to take screenshots with. I get them from various websites (including gateworld.net), crop them, and upload them here. Or if I can't find the screenshot I want, I download the episode, and press print screen. And what are you referring to when you say "great work".&mdash;Anubis 10545 22:44, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I use the Print Screen key too. I was just referring to the ultra-impressive images along your user page.--DrWho42 23:21, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ultra-impressive images, I'm honored :) &mdash;Anubis 10545 00:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity
Anubis, I notice for some time now that, from my point of view, on your user page, by the time you finished with the text, the image where the Apollo gets hit by the beam to the one where Teal'c drinks coffee, it is absolute blank on the left side (if you know what I'm talking about) Now it's probably because I use a different system or something like that, but is this happening to you too, or is everything normal from your view point? I'm just curious. -- Matthew R Dunn 14:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's probably because my computer screen is smaller than yours is. On my screen, the External Links section meets up just about perfectly with the image of Teal'c drinking coffee. Although it's nice of you to bring something like that up if there was a major problem or something like that.&mdash;Anubis 10545 22:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

User Page
I think you had a very well done page. I really enjoyed reading and looking at all the pics. I hope you continue your page and add more to it. Could you look at my page. JKH3942. Thankyou
 * Thanks and I'm glad you liked/enjoyed it. Your page is good as well, although you might want to scale down your images.&mdash;Anubis 10545 23:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

question
How do I scale down my images????


 * Well, if you wanted to scale down this image for example, you would write [[Image:Atlantis Stargate.JPG|250px]] . You limit the size of the image by determining the number in front of the px.&mdash;Anubis 10545 06:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Contents
How do I make a contents??
 * Well, the box automatically appears on it's own but, you need to make at least 2 or 3 headings before it will appear. Headings being: ==Heading title here==

Thankyou
Thank you for helping me set up my page. I really appreciate it.
 * No problem, glad to help.&mdash;Anubis 10545 20:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

My User Page
I fixed my user page. Can you look at it now? Thankyou for all your help.
 * It looks amazing. You chose some really good images and your whole page is arranged in a nice fashion.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

music
Could you please tell me is there a way for me to play a music file, e.g. from itunes into my page? And if so, how. Thanks
 * To the best of my knowledge, I don't think that's possible. Sorry.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

My user page
Can you anwser my conterversial question at the bottom of my user page? Thank you.
 * Sure. You know I was going to earlier, but then I got caught up in something else, so I will do it right now.&mdash;Anubis 10545 05:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Help
Please ban 24.45.199.109, as he keeps removing information for the Asgard article. I warned him or her not to do it again, but he/she didn't listen, so please do something about it. -- Matthew R Dunn 23:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you please ask everyone to put an anwser on the contervisial question?

Thank you.

Editing
Do you know how to block people from editing your page?&mdash;Jeremy H
 * Well, if you mean "Protect" a page from being edited, only people with administrative rights (such as myself) can do that. Although that's mainly only for extensive vandalism.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Phoenix Pics
Hey, thanks for the pix. Those are awsome. And thanks for the message too. I would have taken me a while to notice them on my own.:-)User:Phoenix304 10-8-08
 * Your welcome and I'm glad to help.&mdash;Anubis 10545 23:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

about JKH3942
He keeps messing about with the Nevada page, I have already warned him, and he won't listen. Please do something. -- Matthew R Dunn 17:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

My userpage
I switched my Username from JKH3942 to StargateFan so I will now be using my new account instead of my old JKH3942 account.

Sidebar edit
I was going through Characters -> Humans in the sidebar and I noticed it says Category:Balarans. I can't edit this myself, so I thought I'd leave a message here. Cheers. -Ka&#39;lel 02:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'll fix that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.&mdash;Anubis 10545 02:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just randomly noticed another very (very) minor error. SG-1 -> Season 10, episode four is called "Insiders" ... with an "s"....I did say very minor... —Ka&#39;lel 23:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Common.css
Hi

Can you add the code from MediaWiki_talk:Common.css to MediaWiki:Common.css


 * I've tested the code on The Bill Wiki so i know it works


 * Thanks -- Chief 15:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Richard Woolsey
Is Richard Woolsey a civilain or military?
 * Civilian.&mdash;Anubis 10545 05:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Images
So whats the rule on uploading screencaps? —AscendedAlteran 06:53, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Despite what the upload warning might say, you can upload screencaps from wherever the heck you feel like.&mdash;Anubis 10545 07:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I just changed it so it's less confusing and more accurate.&mdash;Anubis 10545 07:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Prometheus
Hi! I'm new so this is my first time. I just read your homepage and I noticed that it said that you were glad when the Prometheus was destroyed. If I may ask, why were you glad when the Prometheus was destroyed? Tau'ri 21300—Tau&#39;ri 21300 08:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Prometheus was a really ugly looking, small, and primitive ship (in comparison to Daedalus-class ships). The only weapons they ever fired from it were missiles... no railguns at all when that's really all the Daedalus uses during every engagement. That craft couldn't even defend itself from Al'kesh and Death Gliders in Prometheus Unbound... (it would have been destroyed if it wasn't for the Al'kesh Gen. Hammond and the rest of the Prometheus' crew commandeered), so how was it Earth's Flagship before the Odyssey. In Stargate SG-1, they kept using it when they had MUCH more powerful technology at their disposal. And for other reasons similar to that, I'm glad they destroyed Prometheus... they will never use that primitive ship ever again... (except for a small part in an alternate reality in The Road Not Taken... but that doesn't really count). Although I will confess that I was disappointed when I first saw the episode Ethon, when such a primitive race as the Keladonians destroyed a Tau'ri build ship... But I would never get over it if they destroyed the Daedalus. :) Oh, and welcome to SG Wiki.&mdash;Anubis 10545 02:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I did it!
I did what you suspected but said not to do!

check it out Air
 * I feel bad for you.&mdash;Anubis 10545 23:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Movie trailer
Do you know if its possible to add movie trailers to the movie articles?—Tau&#39;ri 21300 00:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I know it's possible to upload video and play video directly on articles. The video would be in a box, much the same as an image, and you press play. They do this on Halopedia like in the article here, although I'm sure there's some sort of copywrite thing though... maybe. I'll look into it. It would also be nice to include video of battles too.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * So its it might be possible—Tau&#39;ri 21300 01:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * ... yes, I'm pretty sure. It would involve changing around some MediaWiki stuff though. I'll see if I can set something up tomorrow.&mdash;Anubis 10545 01:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * thats good because i found a full video from youtube of the battle of asuras and a movie trailer of Stargate Continuum.—Tau&#39;ri 21300 01:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, adding an "Add a video" icon like there's an "Upload image" icon would require an extension to be added to this wiki... I think. For now, you can use this code: ZLCVIAkwQKU. That will produce a video box like this: CCz1kmfqL7g For more instructions on how to use this, go here.&mdash;Anubis 10545 01:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a time limit for the videos because the video i has says that it isnt available or something. Can you help. ZLCVIAkwQKU —Tau&#39;ri 21300 03:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The video you tried to link there has been removed from Youtube. This is usually due to copyright infringement of some kind. —Ka&#39;lel 03:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

As for the removal of the video, what Ka'lel said sounds likely, but I'll see what I can do... probably tomorrow.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I replaced the not working video with a new one of the same battle. This should work... maybe.&mdash;Anubis 10545 04:28, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

The Video is actually still there!Look here ->—Tau&#39;ri 21300 05:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. I found out what was wrong. If it says on the video's page on Youtube, in the box next to the video "Embedding disabled by request", the video you put here won't work. If it doesn't say that, it's fine... At least I think that's what it is. But either way, the video will still remain on Youtube.&mdash;Anubis 10545 06:22, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I just put a video on the Battle of Asuras article... it's nice.&mdash;Anubis 10545 07:01, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Battle of P3Y-229
Hey Anubis10545, In the Battle of P3Y-229 article, can you try and edit it so that there won't be a big space between the quote of The Battle section and the first sentence. I tried to do it myself but i cant do it.—Tau&#39;ri 21300 06:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * On my screen, it looks perfectly normal.&mdash;Anubis 10545 06:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The reason it was doing that is because the image automatically positions itself below the infobox, taking the paragraph with it because it's linked in the code above the paragraph. To fix it I just aligned it to the left instead of the right, but if you're deadset on keeping it on the right, the image link has to be moved somewhere else in the source code and it won't line up with the paragraph.  At the same time, I resized the youtube thumb to the same size as the images. Cheers. —Ka&#39;lel 06:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. I really don't care where the image goes. I guess because my computer screen is so small compared to everyone else's (apparently) changing the image's location didn't affect the text... or anything else.&mdash;Anubis 10545 06:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That reminded me of how it says "Mind The Gap" in subways in England... the way you fixed the gap in the article. For some reason i think that's funny. Although it might be sleep deprivation. That being said...&mdash;Anubis 10545 06:58, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

What resolution are you running? The standard now-a-days for non-widescreens is 1280x1024. As people increase their monitor sizes and the like, that's slowly changing though. That's where you run into problems with floating. The top of my User page (where those first images are) must look really messed up from your perspective. Given your hatred for large gaps in pages, I was surprised you like the way Korolev looks as it is, because on our screens, that's a massive gap. Cheers.—Ka&#39;lel 07:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * My resolution is 1024 by 768. On the Korolev page, the only gap from my perspective is between the External links heading and the 304-class ships template, if that's what your referring to. Matthew R Dunn mentioned that from his perspective, the images going down the right side of my userpage go way past where the text ends. However, from my perspective, the text and images line up just about perfectly.&mdash;Anubis 10545 07:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and from your userpage, the 2 images you have of SG1 at the top that are side-to-side are about 2cm. from the contents box to the left.&mdash;Anubis 10545 07:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the images on your userpage go waaaay past the text. I just decreased my resolution to 1024x768 and I still can't see what you're seeing, so I don't know what's going on there.  If it's feasible, I recommend increasing your res to match the majority.  Just to give you a heads up, this is what the rest of us see: Your user page and Korolev page. Note that these are photochopped and that I resized them to fit on your screen. The originals are much larger of course. Cheers. —Ka&#39;lel 08:03, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I hadn't realized it was that bad. From my view of the korolev page, the 2 images are right next to each other directly under the text. I'll see what I can do.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, I can't increase my resolution anymore. It's all the way up being at 1024 by 768. Every page must look completely different to everyone else, especially ones with images going down the sides of them.&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's very strange, because if I decrease my resolution to 1024x768, I should be able to see what you see, but I don't. It's strange...But anyways, if there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do. No worries. In the future, if I make an edit because it looks bad/wrong, I'll make a note in the summary that it might depend on the resolution of the monitor. But whatever I do, it should never flat-out break anything from your perspective.  For instance, the Korolev edit that I made. Though it may not look as good on your screen, it didn't actually mess anything up to the point where images were overlapping text or vice-versa, or the page was weird with big gaps, etc. So if I do something like the Korolev edit again (and I'll note it in the summary), just keep in mind that even though it looks a bit different in 1024x768, it looks a LOT better in 1280x1024.  Sorry, just reading over this paragraph, it's obvious I'm rambling. —Ka&#39;lel 19:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, over the past couple of years (or how ever long I've edited here) nothing has gone horribly wrong regarding the difference in resolution and monitor size. So, you don't really need to make a note of anything. I would like a bigger monitor, but even if I continue to use this one, everything will be fine (or at least not that bad).&mdash;Anubis 10545 19:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Redirecting
How do you redirect a page?—Tau&#39;ri 21300 00:43, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, if you want to move a page, on the tab at the top of a page where the "Edit this page" button is, there is a button that says "Move". Although to redirect an article (and not just move it, as some get that confused) you go to the page you want to redirect, clear all info from it, and type in #REDIRECT article name here .&mdash;Anubis 10545 00:50, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Nukes on Atlantis
Are there any nukes on Atlantis? If there is, why in the final episode, did they not send a nuke through when they dialed the hive ship?—98.165.212.18 03:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There probably isn't, although they've never really said anything to prove or disprove it.&mdash;Anubis 10545 03:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Atlanteans Move
The Atlanteans disambig page should be moved over the Atlantean redirect page to match the wiki's production standard. This requires the Atlantean page first be deleted which is something only sysops or higher can do. Cheers. —Ka&#39;lel 17:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Taken care of.&mdash;Anubis 10545 18:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Rename
Hey, how do you rename an article?
 * There's a button at the top near the "Edit This Page" button that says "Move". Click on that, and it's pretty self explanatory from there.&mdash;Anubis 10545 05:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Error
Can you please fix this page. I found it earlier today and was unable to do it myself wiith confidence. Lucius Lavin. Thank you. SuperN 03:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, wow. That's seriously messed up. I'll see what I can do. it's probably a problem with the infobox.&mdash;Anubis 10545 03:52, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
