== Namco? ==

Hey Janizdreg - I probably should have stated why I removed the reference to Namco in [[References_to_Classic_Doom_in_Doom_3]], but not to Capcom. There are no sources I can find that link the "Nabcon" to Namco - All references to it that I can find (forums, etc) relate the name only to Capcom - That is, Doom wiki is the ONLY place on the net I can find that associates "Nabcon" to "Namco." This makes sense especially because the Street Fighter games (on which the Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3 logo is based) were created by Capcom, and are in no way related to Namco.
+
== Zombieman/Chainsaw gibbery ==
  
All of this means that it is very unlikely the name "Nabcon" is meant to be a portmanteau of the two companies, which is why I removed the reference to Namco. [[User:Zaximus|Zack]] 07:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
+
Regarding my "chainsaw gibbing zombieman" addition...it doesn't happen all the time, but it is possible to gib a zombieman with a chainsaw. I recall doing so on several occasions in different PC ports of Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom. It happens rarely, as I'd said, about a little less often than plasma gun fire, but it can be done. Just a rebuttal. {{unsigned|Doomknocker}}

Hi, I noticed your to-do list and I just want to let you know that I attempted to replace all the occurrences of “[[Mancubus]]es” with “[[Mancubus|Mancubi]]” in the Final Doom articles.  [[Special:Contributions/99.245.100.94]]. —[[User:Shidou|Shidou]] 20:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem.  I just noticed that Plutonia maps 17–32 still had “Mancubuses” in their articles, so I tried to fix them too.  I thought you already finished Plutonia when I first checked. ;)<br />I hope it’s done now. —[[User:Shidou|Shidou]] 01:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC) P.S. My Java program has a problem logging in; I hope it’s not a problem.
 
 
 
== Doom: Gates of Hell ==
 
 
 
We have four articles whose titles begin with '''Doom:'''.&nbsp; They are usually unreadable and uneditable, due to a longstanding MediaWiki bug [[User talk:Fredrik#Stuff|which you yourself reported]].&nbsp; In the past, this bug has been fixed during one upgrade and reintroduced in another; as recently as last week, the articles could not be accessed.&nbsp; Unless you have new evidence that this is permanent, I strongly feel that we cannot rely on the Wikia people to keep it working (cross-wiki promotion is one of their big priorities).&nbsp; Therefore, we ''must'' seize this opportunity to rename them and delete the redirects.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 23:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Yeah, we probably should rename them. I'll look into it soon, unless you or someone else does it first. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 22:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

:::: Moving articles is easy and perfectly safe (the moves can always be undone), but I can do it for you if you are hesitant about doing it yourself. But what would you suggest as the new title? Just "Worlds on Fire" or "Doom 3 - Worlds on Fire" (if this type of format works properly) maybe? -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 01:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::: Uh... what makes you say that?&nbsp; "Doom 3:" should be perfectly fine unless there is a wiki about Doom 3 (in which case I will be [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing#Hexen Wiki announced|increasingly embarrassed]]).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 18:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Yooo Janizdreg,
+
:From looking at the source, I'm afraid it will never happen in vanilla PC Doom which is what the article is supposed to be about. Ports and console versions are a whole another matter altogether. In original Doom, the chainsaw can do up to 20 points of damage. The Zombieman's health must hit at least -21 points for him to be gibbed, so if he's at 1 health (the minimum where he is still alive) you must damage him for at least 22 points to gib him.

== Broken image galleries ==
  
I'm not convinced that there's enough material for this category, since at least half the items are easter eggs or parodies, not ''crossover fiction'' as such.&nbsp; But regardless, can you explain why you put it in Category:Community?&nbsp; Most of the articles (e.g. the secret levels in Doom II) are about commercial products.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 06:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

:I didn't originally come up with the category idea (surprise surprise, it was [[User:Chex_guy|Chex_guy]] who did), I merely deleted the original "Crossover fiction" category and replaced it with the "Crossovers" one. Setting "Community" as its parent category was Chex_guy's logic as well. Personally I haven't put much thought into the significance of the crossovers category and article, so if you feel they are pointless, feel free to nominate them for deletion. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 22:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I feel that it is related to the Codeimp situation.&nbsp; While the current discussion has IMHO failed to produce consensus for a general, detailed policy, Codeimp or any future concerned community member would have a legitimate, common-sense complaint if the article wasn't deleted.
+
And another: [[MAP02: Punchline (Scythe)]].&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 18:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
  
One user requests deletion, gives reasons for his opinion, and then (more or less) tolerates weeks and weeks of abstract debate only to not get what he wants.&nbsp; Another user requests deletion with no explanation at all, and the article is deleted a few days later?&nbsp; Wikis are eternally under construction, as we all know, but that particular inconsistency seems a bit different from having inconsistent categorizations or navbox formats.

Hi.&nbsp; When I posted [[Doom Wiki:Privacy policy|this]], I removed a reference to web traffic reports (from the Meta document).&nbsp; I assumed that [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing/2009#2008 traffic report|such information]] was only available because Wikia was our host.&nbsp; Am I correct, or should I put the sentence back in?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 21:02, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
  
: Personally, I see no reason why an article about Lutrov that just mentions his DOOM projects should be deleted. He can request or suggest the deletion, but the proposal should be dismissed if he has no reasons for it. If he does have reasons, those should be weighted with objectivity in mind like we are all (I hope) doing in CodeImp's case. <small>[[User:Who is like God?|Who is like God?]] 07:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)</small>

Hi there. I have an account here (as [[User:Dark Pulse|Dark Pulse]]) but it seems like none of the handful of passwords I have are letting me in, and apparently I have no email associated to that account (for some reason - maybe it didn't move it when this Wiki was split off from Wikia?), so I can't reset the password at all.
  
:I don't have much to add to the previous discussion. Deleting the article straight away was an obvious mistake and a rushed decision on my part. If we are going to create an actual policy for deleting established biography articles upon the subject's request, I have to agree with myk - the person in question should first provide valid rationale to back up the deletion. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 17:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
+
Would it be possible to add in an email, so I can get my password reset/altered? I think that'd be the "safest" way to prove it's actually me.
  
::Oh well, what the heck. I guess I could still state why I felt the need to delete the article at the time, even though my rationale wasn't all that well thought out. After Lutrov requested the deletion, I heard a rumour that he had moved on to non-doomy things in his life and didn't want to be associated with Doom anymore due to various personal reasons. Back then (and probably now too) the first Google result with his real name is our article about him. Because of this I felt that we were hurting his private life in an inappropriate way and quickly ended up deleting his article. Looking back at the decision now, it was based more on a feeling (guilt) instead of thinking rationally, which I guess writing an encyclopedia should be all about. Plus, deciding what to do based on a rumour is most certainly not a smart thing to do. -- [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 18:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a rebuttal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doomknocker (talkcontribs) .

From looking at the source, I'm afraid it will never happen in vanilla PC Doom which is what the article is supposed to be about. Ports and console versions are a whole another matter altogether. In original Doom, the chainsaw can do up to 20 points of damage. The Zombieman's health must hit at least -21 points for him to be gibbed, so if he's at 1 health (the minimum where he is still alive) you must damage him for at least 22 points to gib him. 83.150.124.126 21:11, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Monobook.css

Hi Janizdreg.  It's good to be back...

I noticed you deleted MediaWiki:Monobook.css several years ago.  The database appears to have survived.  Do you suppose MediaWiki:Common.css could be deleted too?    Ryan W 03:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for importing my edits from the other wiki. I'll be active on here from now on. Asdfsfs 20:10, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Broken image galleries

I just fixed one of these, Zombie Slayer for Doom 3.  (The mod probably isn't notable but that's another issue.)    Ryan W 03:56, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Another partial case: E2M3: The River of Fire (Heretic).    Ryan W 17:23, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

And another: E2M2: The Lava Pits (Heretic).    Ryan W 17:24, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

And another: MAP02: Punchline (Scythe).    Ryan W 18:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Google Analytics

Hi.  When I posted this, I removed a reference to web traffic reports (from the Meta document).  I assumed that such information was only available because Wikia was our host.  Am I correct, or should I put the sentence back in?    Ryan W 21:02, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

You are probably correct, I don't think manc and Quasar have added Google Analytics code here. Doing so would be nice though, as it would allow a direct comparison between the traffic the old wiki and this wiki get. I think I'm going to propose the idea to them right now. -- Janizdreg 10:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Email addition to restore account?

Hi there. I have an account here (as Dark Pulse) but it seems like none of the handful of passwords I have are letting me in, and apparently I have no email associated to that account (for some reason - maybe it didn't move it when this Wiki was split off from Wikia?), so I can't reset the password at all.

Would it be possible to add in an email, so I can get my password reset/altered? I think that'd be the "safest" way to prove it's actually me.

Please email me at haleyjd@hotmail.com so that I can send you your new password. Your email has to be changed after you login the first time. --Quasar 00:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Back in business. Thanks Quasar! --Dark Pulse 01:34, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
