Quote userboxes

TheSilentHero Nosferatu! — 18:22, 12 February 2015 (UTC) Hey, I see that you are using the new quote userboxes and I wanted to tell you about a special feature they have. If you add a number to it, like {{User Sora Q|1}}, you can select a specific quote to show up, instead of a randomly chosen one. Maybe you already know this, but I thought I should inform you about it.

Eternal Nothingness XIII Is it that I'm not supposed to exist? — 21:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC) Cool! I was wondering about that, but I kinda like the random templates. Saves space on my userpage :)

Salutations!

Chainoffire - "Hey, wait... I'm enjoying this. You guys are something else!" TALK - :) Chainoffire 07:54, 14 February 2015 (UTC) Yes, I am a fan of both FMA and FMA:B, are you a fan of anime too? :D

Wow, another anime user. Keep'em coming. — 12:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC) RikutheBloody

"The" Keyblade

I think that adding "Keyblade" after the weapon name is superficial, and that the definite article isn't needed. Isn't the simplest, most concise way of wording these sentences be in the manner of "Oathkeeper has ____ as an equipment ability" and "Guardian Soul has ____ as an equipment ability". This makes sense because the Keyblade names are considered proper nouns, so they do not use articles (in the same why, you wouldn't use a person's name and say "the" or "a" before it). Thoughts? TheFifteenthMember 13:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I am in full agreement with you. The problem is, it's already so widespread across the Wiki in the form of the weapon articles. I personally prefer saying "Make sure you equip the Ultima Weapon" instead of "Make sure you equip Ultima Weapon," but I, too, do think that the definite article should be dropped, at least in most cases. I am tempted to use the Heartless/Nobody/Unversed/Dream Eater articles to counter your argument, but that is a whole new kettle of worms. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 13:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd say there are two instances: weapon names that are entirely a name or proper noun (e.g. Oblivion) and weapon names that consist of an adjective and noun. With the former, it's natural to use without the article because it's like using a person's name ("Oblivion has..." and "John has...). The latter should have a definite article because that's what you'd use in natural speech (e.g. the Ultima Weapon, the Guardian Soul etc.). I'd say we should use whatever sounds more natural in each case, rather than having one consistent rule. TheFifteenthMember 13:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. But now we face the challenge of changing pretty much everything to do with weapons on the Wiki to reflect this. There will probably be some arguments as to what "sounds natural" to someone, as well. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 13:40, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, what I can confirm is we cannot be saying the Oblivion, the Oathkeeper, or the Fenrir. Please, none of that. To be honest, it's a minor issue so I don't think it's worth going on a massive spree to change all of them. But it's just those three that are completely wrong. TheFifteenthMember 14:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Again, I completely agree with you. At least those three are an exception to the definite article placement "rule." But look at the Organization XIII weapons. Several of them should be exceptions, too. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 14:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Yup, most probably. TheFifteenthMember 14:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

So I guess it's just a matter of sound appeal when you get right down to it. I'm more than willing to help go through the weapon articles and remove the definite articles where appropriate later today, once my classes are done with. It'll go faster if we split the work. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 14:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Something just sounds wrong about leaving "the" off of Oathkeeper, especially because it's a title, like "Guardian". "The" just sounds more natural to me. also, the fact that pretty much none of the weapons in the series are singular entities -- they're all forms of a weapon, and are often forms shared between wielders. I'm not familiar enough with the rules for definite articles to point to which bylaw it's violating, but it just sounds...wrong."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Which proves ENX's point of "There will probably be some arguments as to what "sounds natural" to someone". Put it down to a vote? TheFifteenthMember 15:41, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I personally agree with both of you. At times, the direct article is not needed. But there are certainly plenty of times where it is needed, too, even if a certain weapon fits the category of "direct article not needed." If this is gonna turn into an all-out community discussion, I request that this conversation be continued in a forum (if it hasn't already) :P - Eternal Nothingness XIII 17:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Skype if at all?

Do you have a Skype handle by any chance? KHW is one of the sites from which I'll be cutting off activity during this Lent, which means userboxing is going to go to a halt. On occasion I will get on Skype, and chances are I might pass my images to whoever would like to help out with Project:Userbox in my absence. Since you've resumed college I don't know how active you are, but just wondering, you up for it? Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 17:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Eternal Nothingness XIII If you don't believe the words I say...then you had best see the truth with your own eyes. — 17:23, 17 February 2015 (UTC) I have a Skype, yes, but I save it for people I actually know "in real life." If you want to IM and such still, we can revive the Google chatting we used to do back in the old days :P You could e-mail me the images, and I could see what I can do with them, if you would like.

Sure. I just need to remember how to use it again. troisnyx[at]gmail[dot]com is what I would prefer to use. I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 22:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Eternal Nothingness XIII There. The dice have been cast. Things are in motion. He can't stop this. — 22:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC) Feel free to e-mail me at any time at tskhmaster13@gmail.com!

Happy Birthday

TheSilentHero — 07:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC) I saw on your userpage that today is your birthday, so Happy Birthday!

Eternal Nothingness XIII Very good. You don't miss a thing. I can not feel—sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist. — 07:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC) Yes it is! Thanks!

KrytenKoro - "Hurricane beats all housing or apartments. This sucker is a Cat-6!" TALK - Happy birthday, yo.

Eternal Nothingness XIII Good answer. Just what I'd expect from the Keyblade master. — 14:21, 19 February 2015 (UTC) Thanks, Kryten!

KeybladeSpyMaster - The light'll never give up on you. You'll always find it, even in the deepest darkness! But you have to believe! TALK - You all did great! - 04:37 PM Thu, February 19, 2015 MDT Happy Birthday, ENX!

Neumannz — Ah, my trusty nunchuck gun. The only gun that's never out of ammo. TALK — Or did I? — 22:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)   Happys Birthday!
