QUESTION Edit

Do you know anything about the Arc Welder weapon? --Brian (talk) 12:49, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

The name rings a bell, but I need a bit more detail. I know it's from Star Trek, but what exactly? --Mushroom359 (talk) 13:06, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

ELITE FORCE Edit

The Arc Welder is a weapon from the VGR game Star Trek Voyager which has a whole galaxy of weapons. The Arc Welder weapon was found on the Scavenger ship well, thats what it says this Wiki but someone told me the info is inaccurate. --Brian (talk) 14:24, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

ImagesEdit

Hi, i noticed you have uploaded images without any description/formatting, citations, and copyright identification. Please be aware this is a violation of copyright policies may result in the removal of images from this site. -- Captain MKB 17:25, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Each image has it's own page. When you upload the image you should fill out the form listing the info, but you can go back to the image after that, click edit, and then add the info.

Heres an example:

The copyright template could be automatically filled in by a dropdown menu when you upload. Since you skipped that step, someone has to fill it in manually.

please let me know if you understand this. -- Captain MKB 17:25, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

I understand, I was attempting to cite everything upon uploading it as quickly as possible. Once it had been uploaded, I realized there wasn't actually a set template for the publisher this image was from. I was searching the site for instructions. I also uploaded two images, the second one can be deleted. The one with just the image of the cover is the one I'm keeping. --Mushroom359 (talk) 17:37, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Also keep in mind that image titles are like article titles. They should be descriptive and not contain excess punctuation or coded symbols. Please don't upload more photos unless you figure out how to set the filename. Also, in the interests of 'thinking ahead', please don't upload two photos when only one is needed. these are all things that now need to be fixed. -- Captain MKB 17:42, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

I apologize, I will make sure it doesn't happen again. --Mushroom359 (talk) 17:43, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Image v FileEdit

Please ensure that you use "File:" rather than "Image:" when adding images to articles. The "Image:" tag has been deprecated in the Mediawiki software and replaced with the "File:" tag. Thank you. -- sulfur (talk) 18:35, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

I will keep that in mind. I should inform you however, there are likely other articles using that image set up the same way. I copied the code for that image from the page "IRW Valdore" when creating the "IRW Eletrix" page. --Mushroom359 (talk) 19:27, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Silent Weapons referencesEdit

Hi Mushroom. I'm sorry if I've undone any of your recent additions today - I was working on the refs this evening and neglected to publish when I left my PC for a while. I noticed that you had added some more refs in the meantime, so, with a bit of judicious copy-&-pasting, I think I've managed to keep all yours and all mine, too. Judging by your refs, I'm way behind you in the book! -- Cyfa (talk) 22:58, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry about it. And I actually finished it, these books are really good reads. --Mushroom359 (talk) 02:40, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
