User talk:Guywithafedora

Welcome
I'm leaving the above section here because it might come in useful some day. Hey, who knows?

So, I'm Guywithafedora, and I'm your host this morning/afternoon/evening. *tips hat* I'm somewhat new in the neighborhood, and naturally would appreciate it if some kindly souls would come over and show me around.

I can show you around along with a lot of other users. Feel free to ask anything about the site. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  04:44, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Why thank you. *shakes hands* Could you kindly explain about these "cabins" users can supposedly join? Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 04:57, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

This site has 4 different wiki cabins (Hermes/Ares/Demeter/Apollo). Each cabin does something different, with Apollo adding pictures and Hermes helping new users. You can add your name to a list of Wiki Cabins and add a userbox to your page or ask someone to do it for you. When I first got on this site, I found it easier to simply ask the cabin members when I had a question about something (policy/codes/ect.) but now it is easier just to ask high ranking members because they help out a lot. If I'm not around, you can ask Courtney_di_Angelo, TheGhostMan, or PerseusJackson. all good users on this site and are willing to help anyone. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  05:13, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, a high ranking member such as yourself. So what do Ares and Demeter do? Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 05:18, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ares deals with fighting vandalism, something that has at the very least slowed down over the past week but still pops up every now and again, but is normally dealt with very fast. Demeter deals with Wiki Growth and Promotions. I'm not really sure what they do, but that is why I am not a member. I help new users and fight vandalism so you arent limited to one cabins.

Hi!
Welcome to the Wiki.

That was me, sorry I forget to put my sig sometiems &quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 05:04, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I take it you're one of the more experienced users? Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 05:08, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

yes and no, I try and help out in editing or adding pages when I think I can help, but i only started on the wiki last week...and finished all the books the week before that...&quot;Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch.&quot; (talk &bull; contribs) 06:00, March 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * laughs* Whoever sent that, I appreciate it. Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 04:58, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ares Cabin
Ares cabin as yours truly is a member of handles all the vandalism that occurs on the wiki. One example of vandalism i occured was somebody saying Annabeth was Percy's sex slave. Now if we were to spot that as Ares Cabin Members we would have to erase said vandalism and repair the damage and then warn the vandal. TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 05:23, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I remember that one, I think I was the one that reported him/her and fixed the page. Good times, good times. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  05:24, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Wow. *laughs* Sounds like something I'd like to do. Helping new members sounds like a rewarding job too. Could you teach me how to join exactly? Mind taking in an apprentice? *grins* Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 05:28, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well, first you add your name to the list of cabin members using the Wiki Cabin link and then you add the userbox of that cabin to your userpage, but when you pick a cabin(s), I can add those for you. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  05:32, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to tell you. The members list is inside the link to the cabins. Just click a cabin name on that page I sent you a link to. Then just scroll down and you will see it.

Awesome. Thanks, people! Oh, by the way, how do you make links like it is on the members list?? Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 05:53, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Apollo Ares Demeter Hermes

Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  05:49, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

What I do is copy the link to your user page and when you go to add your name, hit the Add Link thing up top on the edit page. Paste the link in the first box and then your name in the second. You can also just use this:

and replace username with your actual user name. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  05:57, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! You people are awesome! Sorry for wasting your time! Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 06:01, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Remember what you typed just a little while ago. "Helping new members sounds like a rewarding job," and it is. It isnt a waste of time to help, on this site or in real life. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  06:03, March 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * salutes* I'll remember. I'm now officially in the Hermes Cabin, except for the userbox thing. Onward to the Ares Cabin! I promise to be a good member and to do my best to make this wiki the best it can be! Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 06:12, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I added the user boxes for the Hermes and Ares cabins and a claimed tag for Apollo (as it is your cabin of choice). You can always change that later. I have to leave you in the hands of the other users now because I have to be awake in about 5 hours for work, oh boy. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  06:15, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

yes i can help you PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  13:01, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but i was not on last night...........anyhow all the information above is correct........the best persons to contact if you need help would be me, Courtney and Darkcloud and TheGhostMan  PerseusJackson  -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  13:31, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

btw high ranking does not always mean good(i an not sure i can say that since i am ranked #1) it is just a coincidence that all of us helpful ones are high ranking PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  13:33, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sure no problem! What do you need help with?  Athletiger Talk 14:35, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

P.S.I'm on the West Coast of the US, so I will not be here for, let me see, 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 twelve hours. You can certainly ask me any question, but if you're looking for a speedy answer, i suggest you to talk to Perseus or Darkcloud for today

I've already contacted the Tiger person. *grins* Though here's a question: How was my account found by Darkcloud even before I went to the top users for advice? How was I found so easily? Guywithafedora (talk &bull; contribs) 15:02, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

when you edit we see your username and click on it PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  15:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Aaahhh...... I see. So, what EXACTLY does the Demeter Cabin do? DarkCloud tried to explain it to me, but It kind of left me confused. The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 15:54, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Demeter tells other people about the wiki(tell your eral life friends.......tell people on other wikis..........etc PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  15:58, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fun. *laughs* Wow, the god that claimed me has the one cabin I don't want to join. Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 16:02, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * laughs* Is there anything you DON'T do around here, Perseus? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 17:04, March 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope he should be a Hermes Kid since he's a jack of all trades. Not a Poseidon kid. TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 17:06, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * laughs* Exactly! Oh, by the way, what's with these forums I keep hearing about? And how did the cabins here get started? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 17:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Greeting and welcome to camp! I'm Sirius, the camps youngest admin, member of all cabins, Reverter of Vandalism, bla bla bla (lots of boring achievemnts). I'd just like to make sure you're doin alright so far, and notify you that you can write on my talk page if you have any questions or need help. Vgfsirius (talk &bull; contribs) 17:45, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there! Join the Party! So, what's the difference between an admin and a regular user? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 17:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Usually a years expirence. they are additionally granted/burdened with: ■Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files. ■Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights. ■Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits. ■Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins. Vgfsirius (talk &bull; contribs) 18:07, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

you are now a Demeter Cabin member PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  19:14, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

you know you can put your stats in a userbox? PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  19:17, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

You mean like my age, family, and other such things? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 19:38, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

yep PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  21:46, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hold your mouse over it (you dont have to click it) and an image of what it looks like on your profile appears. if you havent done so, scroll downa little and under that image is an edit link. Click it and will out the information. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  00:12, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Dude, you're awesome! You're my sensei from now on! By the way, I found a new user called XxTammyxX. Could you contact her? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 00:14, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

I think XxTawnyxX did something wrong but I dont know what to do...They moved their userpae because they spelled it wrong, but they moved it to an actual page which oes against the rules of the site. It is an interesting situation. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  00:29, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. I'll inform her of this if you don't mind. You fix it. That way, both duties are fulfilled. Sound good, sensei? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 00:31, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

i oove to help out :). okay so go to the wiki cabins and when you are there you will see links to the cabins. click on one of the cabins and then you will get ot the page about what that cabin does and if you scroll down you will see the list of members. just go into edit and put your name there. if you need help with anything else just ask and i'll get on it. as i said i love to help. Good luck in whatever you do, whether you&#39;re on a quest or just editing a page. -Courtney (talk &bull; contribs) 00:37, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not really sure how to fix this one. I sent this to one of the admins to figure it out because they are better at fixing things like this. This is the first time I have ever seen this happen to be honest. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  00:39, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm..... interesting. So Ares are like the cops of the wiki, and we're not sure whether to make an arrest or not is basically what's happening? On another note, it seems that we've written a complete manual on how to use the wiki on my talk page. *smirks* Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 00:45, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

agreed PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  00:48, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Which situation do you agree with, Perseus? The problem or my observation? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk &bull; contribs) 00:49, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

the observation PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  00:50, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

need any more help(sorry i was not on much today...........studying PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  00:51, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, there's the problem that DarkCloud1111 and I are facing, and I have an idea for the wiki. We could scrape together all of the information that we've collected on this page and then create a guide to help the Hermes Cabin know what to teach new users!
