'Hi! I just wanted to give you my compliments. I've been reading some of your articles and find them very interesting and well-written (especially the articles about gamebooks villains are very good). Keep up the good work! That's all for now! Amnestyyy 21:37, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
I thought I would supply you with a List Of Templates since you are a fairly regular contributor, it may come in handy if ever you wished to use them.. Inferno Pendragon 03:21, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Adminship
don't worry - being an admin means you will have to face a lot of unpopular decisions and people will be childish, rude or troll-like to you more often than not (I've been called a bitch, whore and worse by users for doing my job): in the end any category you delete can be restored if enough people complain, nothing is truly permanent - it may be hard to get rid of categories or pages at first but in general doing so improves the wiki (look at the uproar that happened when Antagonists was deleted for example).

In the end run the wiki as you feel is appropriate, ask other admins if you want a larger-scale reform but never feel as if you are somehow obliged to obey the whims of others users (we should be approachable and kind, sure, but in the end we also need to remember that we are admins and need to make decisions, whether people like them or not).

Further Discussion
http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Inferno_Pendragon/Categories

The following is a blog I created and would like as many people as possible to read and discuss on, I think this is something the community needs to talk on now and is no longer a simple "admins only" solution Inferno Pendragon 20:49, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

Creation of New Categories
since people aren't listening to rules (what a surprise) I'm writing to admins to say this, any user who makes a new category is to be blocked for a week - they can complain all they want but the rules are right there in community corner, they refuse to read then it is their own fault. this will now be a wiki-wide rule that admins should enforce.

Re:HELP!!
Hey Balthus, long time no see indeed. I have more or less given up on this place for a while, seeing as I've been forced to spend quite a bit of time in hospital beds, have colleges and stuff to attend and am also trying to keep my professional dancing career going. Another reason for me to take a semi-temporary leave was the fact that no matter how much I tried to change, I continuously hit a point where someone blocked my proposals - be it admin or regular users. I think the only way to change anything around here is by writing a clear Manual of Style, a clear image policy and a clear categorization policy. And yeah - it will take the fun out of the wiki for many people who just come here to quickly create a random villain page. But they will just have to learn that there are rules (and enforcers of those rules) on wikis too. I think the main problem is not the fact that we want rules, but the fact that people are not used to them because we hardly had any before. I hope that helps, if only a little. Nesty Contact me! 12:00, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

RULES
enforce the rules and ignore those who claim you are a "tyrant" - these people are not wanting to obey our rules and thus are not positive contributors, this shows how childish they are in the end and I for one will not let our wiki be overrun by pseudo-anarchists who believe they can do whatever the hell they want: you are an admin, you don't have the right to abuse power but you have the right to enforce rules - if users complain remind them this wiki has rules and if they do not wish to obey them they have no right to edit, being part of this community is a privilege - not a right.

Too many people want things their way and ignore others, continue to get rid of categories and BAN ANYONE who recreates them - this will get it through their skulls that they can't bully admins into doing what they demand.

Users need to respect admins, this can only be done when they realize they aren't in charge - we'll treat them with respect, if they can not show basic respect back.. block them Queen Misery (talk) 13:08, March 22, 2013 (UTC) }}

Would All These Good Traits Not Make A Per son With Villainous Acts Not A Villain?
Okay, so let's say there's a character. And this character is a very nice character. He helps people whenever he can, donated at least one thousand dollars to charity, and has saved somebody from a fire. But despite all this, he has tried to kill somebody at least two times. Of course, he never actually does it but would attempted murder make him a villain? He's also broken the law a few times along with getting arrested. So, despite these villainous acts would this character not be considered a villain due to all of the good deeds he's done?

Ooh! I have a 20! And two ones! So, this is your lucky day, that is $22. (talk) 07:18, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Good News
Hello Balthus Dire. I've got got more goods. Me & StarWizardWars are doin' extremely well on gettin' rid on all the unwanted & deletable categories, in an organized way & kinda timely matter of course. Lol... & we asked Jinierules to help us out with fixin' the blank "Lego Villains" category. I have forgot all the legos & stuff because I haven't played with legos in a long time since I was a kid. Plus last Monday was both StarWizardWars' birthday & the 6th anniversary of my high school graduation. So it's everything's ok. No bad news so far. Oh yeah, I've set up the infobox for He Who Walks Behind the Rows & soon for his Children cult since they both deserve their own infoboxes like Pennywise the Clown & The Ancient Enemy do. I mean if that's ok with you, buddy. :-) - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 14:50, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Malefor page
Excuse me, but the pictures that you added back in weren't showing Malefor, but different characters who serve him or simply images of his fortress, the Well of Souls. Also some of the pictures in the gallery doesn't even show the villain at all unlike the pictures I had provided earlier. -- Aura24 (talk) 14:47, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Balthus, try not to copy some content from the Spyro Wiki please. I know the Spyro Wiki has more details on Malefor than the one on this wiki, but please at least be original on the details. I reworded the article earlier because I knew it had most of the content taken from the Spyro Wikia on that page.

We have a policy on the Spyro Wiki and we don't accept users stealing content from our pages and putting them on other wikias. And isn't it against the rules on the Villains Wikia not to plagarize and the article must be made by your own words? -- Aura24 (talk) 01:12, May 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh you were the anonymous user (User:66.27.223.164) who did the personality segment on the Spyro Wikia's Malefor page? I didn't know. I guess if you had registered back then in 2010 under your current username, then I would've known that you were the one the same one who did the personality segment for Malefor and I wouldn't have addressed this issue to you. ^^' Thanks for clearing this up. :)


 * Yeah, some articles about the Spyro villains on this wikia have copied content from the Spyro Wikia, instead of writing about the antagonists in their own words. -- Aura24 (talk) 14:25, May 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops, I guess I confused you for someone else who first did the Malefor personality segment.
 * I guess the plagarizing part on here was the work of registered and unregistered users who also browse the Spyro Wiki without our notice. I'll go ahead and rewrite Malefor's page on the Spyro Wikia, so that our wikis both have different good qualities on the villains' details. -- Aura24 (talk) 14:36, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Added the changes. Let me know what you think: Malefor. -- Aura24 (talk) 16:32, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

Too many Joker articles
I'd like to suggest that alll the various Joker (DC) articles be boiled down to three to five, separated by genre : Comics, Film, TV and Video Games. Primal as he is, IMO there's just too many separate ones right now, some of which are barely past stub status on their own. Gojirob (talk) 02:21, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

I agreed with Gojirob here. They've already hurt my head in the first place since it happened. Gosh. - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 02:45, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

I've asked
Okay its been two weeks, since I asked you about my idea, and you told me to ask all the other admins, Well I did and off the still active ones four out of six (counting you) agreed it would be a good idea to create it (although one did suggest waiting a while and then creating it, Amnestyyy I think) So will you create it, as the majority of Admins agree it is a good idea.General MGD 109 (talk) 20:46, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Maxevil
Please block the user Maxevil; he erased the whole Peter Griffin page; and i just undid the revisionThat Dawg 15:46, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Weasels
I would like for you to reconsider the purpose of having a category on weasels. Weasels are among the animal stereotype (along with rats and snakes) representing villainy because of their sneaky ways. If it helps, I'll delete some categories that have too few pages so that we can have more useful categories such as this. Rainbowman 10:57, June 08, 2013 (UTC)

The Sanderson Sisters
Why would you delete the Sanderson Sisters page? That doesn't make any sense. It's not even redundant one bit. I mean you heard of the Amazon Trio? Anyway I've just finished creatin' & editin' the 3 pages of  the magic candle, the magic spellbook & the old house belonged to the Sanderson SIsters (Winifred "Winnie" Sanderson, Mary Sanderson & Sarah Sanderson). - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 18:10, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Major wiki copycat
You have a copycat copying content from the Spyro Wikia, named Mini-me. -- Aura24 (talk) 04:16, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Can u pls give me a tutorial on how to make a new page?Im new here and I want to make a Two-Face page(about his version in The Dark Knight)

Khing is No More!
Good news, my friends. The so-called works of the brainless nuisance of a user that called itself Khing is all but purged, condemned & erased with his articles with poor editing, incorrect spelling & lack of information too while the real articles he thinks he created have reverted back to normal (most complete pages are properly spelled & edited & some incomplete pages are put under stubs & construction). Spread the word, everyone. Khing is no more! We've finally home free, everybody! ;-) - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 17:50, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
