 * It is I, Deathwalker 13000, bureaucrat of Villains Wiki. I just wanted to say thank you for your contributions, you are doing great, and to keep up the good work. That is all. I'm out.

Thanks
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your contributions to the wiki - your articles are very good and show that you take pride in your work, I'm also rather glad to see another fan of Fantasy fiction around (especially the RPG type) - I hope you continue to share your knowledge with us and have fun contributing: if you need any help or just feel like talking please contact me via my talkpage Stare Too Long Into The Abyss.. 04:16, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Compliments
'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. Queen Misery (talk) 14:50, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Stop having a go at StarWizardWars! Cause he's had enough of it
Right, you listen here!!!! I can read! And I'm not messing around!!!!!!!! Quit judging me! I'm just trying to get the images into the infobox without causing any hassel. Sorry if you're getting ticked off with me, but heres the thing: I'm just a starter and a slow learner of infoboxes. So stop having a go at me, judging me, trying to delete my pages and LEAVE ME AAAAAAAALLLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS SO LEAVE IT ALONE, LEAVE IT ALONE, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why'dya delete my stuff?
Why did you delete my stuff? You could have at least asked me first! If there already is a category for villains that desire a consort, can you tell me? Angie Y. (talk) 15:50, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

If there already is a category for villains that desire a consort, can you tell me what it is? I really feel bad for recreating a deleted category, and I still do. Angie Y. (talk) 17:53, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
Would you please leave the categories like Dr. Seuss villains and Hitchcock Villains alone, many others would agree to have them there, forget about the silly housekeeping. I'm asking you for the last time, leave the categories like all of that alone. Walt Disney, Jr. 18:19, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

I have to agree. Housekeeping is fine, but this is just annoying. Half the time, these characters and schemes are legit. Angie Y. (talk) 18:50, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

I absolutely agree with Walt Disney, Jr. We have another category of villains created by another book author, Stephen King. Garfield1601 (talk) 01:46, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Plus, my category is completely legit too! Angie Y. (talk) 03:27, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

RIGHT!
What do you mean "what game are you playing"?!!!?? Is that meant to be an insult!?!? If it is then you have passed as a jerk. Anyways I no longer care if you (or anyone else, I don't care who) delete the category Dark Lords of the Sith or Villains with Red Eyes, but don't delete the category Villains from mods, ALRIGHT!? I'm not trying to make it another Star Wars Villains Category, there just is'nt any other villains on mods that I can find! COMPRENDRE??? Now I've had enough of you and your threats and warnings of banning me, Blabthus Dire! They call you community for this wiki?; I know a lot of other Wiki editors for this wiki and their awesome and it's no wonder how much their feeling anoyed by your flipping housekeeping and lectures about categories and the wretched rules. I don't want anymore orders from you! And goodbye. StarWizardWars.

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) Edit: Or rather, and addition: I might return here, but if I do I will probably turn into the bad guy (or rather, girl) and make a lot of people very angry. Therefore I have opted not to return unless I have the support of a majority of the "power-figures" on the wiki. Just to prevent arguments such as the ones Inferno, Misery and I have had in the past. (Not that that was their fault, it was as much mine, but still, don't feel much for repeating that.) Nesty  Contact me! 12:03, 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 psuedo-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 privilage - 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)

Question
Mr. Dire, first of all thank you for being a person in the high ranks that a regular editor can trust. Now, with all the ongoing events, which categories could we expect getting removed? Frostare (talk) 18:39, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

"Maternal illains" is not always the same as "Mother of Hero', so why did you delete the latter? Mrs. Baylock is a maternal villain, but she's not even a parent; she's just a nanny. Also, being a mother of the hero doesn't always mean she'll be a maternal villain, as she could have simply abandoned him at birth. In short, please put "Mother of hero" back.Pyromania101 (talk) 18:00, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
OK Balthus Dire, I understand. Walt Disney, Jr. 00:02, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Same here. Garfield1601 (talk) 00:08, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Got it, thanks!
Glad to read it and thanks for replying! I didn't know that we had in common that we're both not native english speakers, my main language being spanish, Latin American spanish, mind you.

To tell the truth I was aware of the no new categories rule ever since I started to contribute for the wiki, but with so many new ones getting accepted I started to ponder whether the rule was still valid or obsolete but unchanged, just as the wiki's main page was for some time, and maybe I was just following that rule blindly. So I ventured to create a new category that I found myself coming back to and was not present, Idealists. It made me happy when other users added more entries to it because that helped me confirm that it was indeed needed, but now with all of this going on I'm certain that some measures are to be taken so do as you may and if I happen to find you or any mod deleting all the entries for a to-be deleted category, I'll gladly help out! Again thank you for replying in such a nice manner!

I dunno if Non-disney Villains is already deleted but that would be a good start to check and mark as CfD. (I mean really? Villains that are NOT made by a company? Heh...) Frostare (talk) 07:11, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Concerning a Vandal
Hello sir. I hate to bring up that sort of stuff, but I felt I had to talk to an admin here to inform that a certain user, User:MuppeTickeler, is a vandal with an absolute terrible record. Ask anyone on Alien Species Wiki (where I'm an admin) about the guy and everybody will concur that he is mad, stubborn and hard to deal with. He has edited under many names there, including Ghostytreat, Terrific Joker, Crazy Diddy Kong among others. He has a tendency of making things up, ignoring warnings not to make things up, pretending to concur to warnings and then doing exactly the same things over and over again, etc... Many of his aliases have been banned there and yet he keeps coming back. I was appalled to find out that he is editing here on Villains Wiki now so I felt it best to let you know and keep an eye on him, as he is already adding madness to the page Frackles and has added it back after it being removed twice (once by me, once by another user). Again, sorry for taking up your time, but I really felt you should know. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 21:21, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Categories Order
Ok. I don't have a problem with that, I mean you know I trusted you too & don't have anything against you. I know I'm not perfect. Shoot, I still tryin' to keep my whole apartment completely clean even in case the apartment's management & the city would come again to inspect for 20 minutes as they did last Thursday while last week @ my work enviroment was extremely busy with the seniors & the Special Olympics awards ceremony. It was hectic, my friend. Very hectic. Anyway yeah sure, Go right ahead. They're still yours. & now you've mentioned it, the fixing/changing category order thing becomes a little bothersome sometimes. If you need anything, let me know, Balthus Dire. Thanks in advance. - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 14:20, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Merging template
Is it possible for you admins to make a merging template? I know merging =\= deletion. For example, I want Chris Bradford and Dogpound merged together. --DragonDude83 (talk) 16:21, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hello & Good Morning
Hello & good morning. - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 14:40, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I'm also lettin' ya know that I am only removin' the 2 movie categories "Fading of the Cries Villains" and "Warriors of Virtue Villains". I thought it'll be enough & all but I was dead wrong. So I'm settin' things right. - best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 17:30, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

All done. The 2 categories have been currently deleted as we speak. I just wanna thank you for settin' me straight, Balthus Dire. You are a true friend. :-) - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 18:50, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

New Category
i should add Evil Stepparents or not ? by --Jinierules (talk) 02:06, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for lifting the ban, Balthus and for accepting the apology. Good to be back. I'll follow the rules from now on. Happy Easter! StarWizardWars (talk).

(Billist (talk) 17:02, March 31, 2013 (UTC))

I don't know if I'm doing this right. But I seriously find no reason to delete my page on MTV Best Villain category. I guess you gave me a good reason I wouldn't be acting like such a jerk now.

I did this wrong didn't I. Sorry StarWizardWars. I'm gonna quit Villains wiki. too many mistakes.

Dear Balthus Dire
I'm apoligize to state this, but I think Rex from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch is a villain/antagonist because he kidnapped Salem and thought he (aka Stinky as named by Rex) was his pet even if he's not. He keeps lying despite that his mother thought he had no cat while talking to Sabrina. In the Christmas Special, he also seemed to be kind and friendly at first, but then turned out to be a spoiled brat who was not only stealing a cat, but being cruel to him aswell. Not to be rude but I worked pretty hard on the page itself and if the article is brought back, I'll add the "Con Artists" category to the article. If you say he's still not a villain, then we should compare him to characters like Sid Phillips and Stewie Griffin. The last thing I'm about to say on this paragraph has nothing to do with what I'm talking about but I 100% understand what your response was on my talkpage.

Tak and the Power of Juju Villains
When you mentioned "One game is not enough for a category", what exactly would that mean? Tak had four sequels-


 * Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams
 * Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
 * Tak and the Guardians of Gross
 * Tak: Mojo Mistake.

Plus he has his own tv series which is titled after the original game (I admit the tv series may not have been that good due to the low ratings). When it comes to crossover villains, we need all the worlds those villains invaded even if some worlds aren't as popular as the others.

Can you please block Mctalwolfer?
He has recreated the Jeff Fungus article which you have deleted before, and he spams categories on the Henry J. Waternoose III article, such as the "Mass Murderer" category. Waternoose did not kill anyone in the film. Garfield1601 (talk) 08:50, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I will make sure I come to you when I need help with anything. thanks :)

LtFantasmic
I'm sorry you have to put the Harry Wormwood on lockdown after what the new guy LtFantasmic did. He just won't listen, even to me. & it's bad enough he also ruined quotes as such as Mr. Harry Wormwood's famous catchphrase with his name misspelled. This is gettin' annoying. - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 23:15, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

You're right. I'm sorry. I've lost my cool there, but that dude can't see where his mistakes are leading. - Best regards B1bl1kal Don't cha judge me! 23:20, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Just out of curiousity, how many pages is necessary to have a catagory? General MGD 109 (talk) 22:30, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

I understand where your coming from, those seem valid reasons, and thank you for replying to my question so quickly. General MGD 109 (talk) 20:20, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

Categories with too few pages
Just HOW many pages does a category need to have? I think if they at least 10 pages they can apply. Lord O&#39; Darkness (talk) 04:02, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
