First Article: Need Help!
Dear EmpyrealInvective,

I am the head admin on a related wiki, Cryptid Wiki, and with my vast knowledge of the unknown I translated some ancient Indian sanskrit text (slokas) talking about a popular demon story in India. I need help with this article. Also, this is my first article here, so I need advice on my article, such as categories and such. I would greatlly appreciate your help.

The entire story is translated, I just provided the Sanskrit text below to show the exotic and ancient nature of the story. You can remove the Sanskrit if you think it would be better without it, but the entire article is translated.

My article is Demons in India. It is a popular horror story in India that I translated.

Thank You

help with a story
hey empy, since you were the first mod I met here I would like to have you review one of my projects in writers workshop seeing as how nobody has been giving me any advice. the project is called The Randall Case. if you could please review it I would be very grateful Theglaukos (talk) 22:43, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

I was trying to fix it! Omfg please. Could you at least warn me first?

I was banned for my username
Excuse me, I was banned for my account’s username, “Dat Everyday Jew”. I am not trying to avoid a ban (my username says this), I only use this account to communicate with admins that ban me. I am in fact, Jewish, and I have been on the wiki for a long time on my previous account, That Everyday Jew (Until I got blocked for fighting with a wikia staff member over one of my messages). I had been on the CP wiki’s chat for months, and I even got the OK from LOLSKELETONS to keep the name: http://i.imgur.com/itHuWgJ.png

This was in a chat, on November 6th 2014, when people were discussing whether my name was offensive or not. I was allowed to stay, and I’ve been here for a while. --Account I Need to Talk About Bans, NOT AVOID THEM (talk) 01:38, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Ban
I'd appreciate that a lot. I actually wasn't banned for my name; I was banned because I got into a fight with an staff member who kept kicking me for the reason "cuz". Then he banned my account, but I eventually got another staff member to unban my username. I didn't get screenshots, so I couldn't get my username unbanned. But yeah, I'd like if my account was unbanned, and my request for the un-deletion of my pasta was sincere. --Account I Need to Talk About Bans, NOT AVOID THEM (talk) 01:52, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Appeal for a re-upload
Sorry, I am fairly new to this Wiki and despite having read the rules some of the instructions were still unclear to me and I am still learning as I go. I was unaware that when you create a story you cannot easily go back and change the title, as I wanted to, so I just copied and pasted my story onto a new page with a different title. I'm not sure why the second one was deleted, "Noises from Downstairs", and I apologise for my limited knowledge of the wiki. But I would like to appeal to get "Noises from Downstairs" re-uploaded as I don't think it should've been deleted for an innocent misunderstanding of the rules.

Natalo (talk) 02:55, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Story
Okay, I understand that some grammatical errors are apparent but the last two stories I have tried to upload have been deleted as they 'didn't meet the quality standards'. I find this actually slightly offensive, and I'm not sure how a story's content can be measured upon a scale of quality, because it would seem that that scale would be very biased when it came to who was judging it. Is there anywhere where I can fix my story on this wiki, or do I have to completely rewrite it again?

Thanks, Natalo (talk) 03:25, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
You'll have to forgive me for being more than a little upset because now the last three stories I have tried to post I have had notifications telling me they were deleted or edited. Thank you for the feedback and clearing that up for me. I'm not sure how the writer's workshop works but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Hopefully no one has to delete the next story I post.

Thanks, Natalo (talk) 05:31, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Question from Tyber Zann
Hey, Empy,

You may or may not have heard about the terrorist attacks in France that occurred a few days ago. The French people are rallying together in this time of crisis, and they’re using the phrase “Je suis Charlie” as their cry of unity. People the world over are showing their support for them by repeating the phrase. It has become one of the most popular hashtags in the history of Twitter, for example.

I never talk about politics online. I’m not going to go around with a big Left Wing or Right Wing pin on my chest. I feel like that kind of stuff should stay private. I do, however, feel that it is the honorable thing to do, to display the phrase Je suis Charlie on my Profile page, until this time of crisis is over.

I just wanted to run this by you before I do it, because I don’t want to be in violation of any codes or rules that I didn’t know about. I’m doing this to show my compassion and support for those who are suffering, that is all. I await your approval.

Review Request
Hello, I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at my pasta? It's currently on the Writer's Workshp and it's in need of reviews. It's rather long, and I'm thinking maybe that's why people aren't bothering to critique it. I really hope that's not the case and it's just that people are rather too busy to look.

Deleted Story
Hey EmpyrealInvective,

I noticed my story got deleted, no big deal. I'll understand, whatever it is. Just wanted to know the specifics on what mistakes I made so that I can correct them in case I decide to write any stories in the future. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story anyways. Hope to hear back from you soon. CaseyR86 (talk) 15:47, January 16, 2015 (UTC)Casey

Hey
Hey Empy. Just wondering how you're doing and stuff, since I haven't spoken to you in a while. I also wanted to tell you how much I love A Small Piece of Lead, it's one of my favourite pieces on the site. Regards, Underscorre - Talk to Me 22:30, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

I just posted it and was about to edit it realy....

Why Did you do this
I created a pasta and you deleated it withing 2 mins of its creation even though it met requirements, 1. i bet you dident read it 2. id like an acutal explenation for deleation rather than the auto messages please.

Advice?
Hi Empy, I'm new here, and I was wondering if you could help me. You see, I'm currently revising my first Creepypasta, and I was having trouble posting it the first time I tried to, it claimed that there was some kind of error. I used the proper setting and everything, but they still claimed that there was something wrong. Any advice?

Talk Page Etiquette and other rules
There's a misspelling in the Talk Page Etiquette. It's "vandalism" not "vandilism". Also, some rules have the chat down as a way to contact an admin and VCROC is still on there (even though the right has been eliminated). Do you hear that? That's the grape roaring  15:49, January 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hey. I published my first pasta a while ago, but it was deleted for not adhering to quality standards. I'd like to know what I need to improve, and would gladly accept even the worst criticism.

Self-Deletion request
Hi, Empy.

I'm thinking about submitting some of my pastas as somples of my work to a short story magazine. The downside to this is that those pastas could be published, and thus wouldn't be allowed to be on here for free.

I'm requesting the deletion of the pastas 'Mind's Eye', 'The Strange Reflection' and 'The Trail'

Alright, your clarification really did help me out. I'll try to adapt to it. If you have to delete my stories again, I'd only ask for you to not be mad. I'm looking at every source I can, and I will try my best to make a quality-enough story.

Thanks for clearing that up. Sometimes I get into a spree of edits and just sort of go into auto-pilot. Thanks for the guidance.

Puppetmaster Formatting
Firstly, thanks for letting me edit the page. I'm not sure if I should be going to you for this, but I'm having some strange formatting issues in regards to editing The Puppetmaster's Regime. I have no way of knowing if this is only on my computer, but the "testaments" of my characters are all appearing in an odd boxed-off scroll thing. Forgive me if I'm just being ignorant, but I haven't the foggiest idea what's causing it or how to fix it.

-I believe my current edits suffice. Thanks again for all your help! :)

Can I ask for a review?
I've posted my second attempt at making a decent pasta in the Writer's Workshop. Could I please ask you to review it, if it's not a problem? I hope I've solved the inadequacies of the first one.

Cheers, Floating Doge (talk) 09:04, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I think there was a mix-up
You messaged me not to reupload deleted stories, and that my stories have been deleted, but I haven't ever even written my own pastas. I apologize if i did anything wrong though. SlipFoldSevenKnot (talk) 17:39, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Coding and links question
Hey Travis,

Do you happen to know the coding for creating links to other Wiki pages, like Villains Wiki and such?

Thanks in advance,

--Banningk1979 (talk) 20:43, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Well almost
So, I tried to link coding, and what I got was this w:c:Villains:Hyraaq Tobit.

So yeah, it did work, but I just want the link to be the name, Hyraaq Tobit, without the first w:c:Villains before the name.

Is there a way to create or code the link where it's just the villain's name without the pre-heading?

Thanks,

--Banningk1979 (talk) 22:08, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Makes sense
Thanks for the answer.

Lol, Travis, if you think I have a lot of questions now, just wait until I get the Rollback rights. (Crossing fingers that I get it.) I'll be flooding you for advice lol.

Feedback on story
Thank you so much for your feedback on the story. I didn't realise how many mistakes I had made! I'll be sure to get on to them as soon as possible! Thank you so much! And about the red eyes and red screen. Yeah, I kinda went a little bit overboard with this, making it seem more "real" than I wanted it to. I wanted it to all seem like he was hallucinating all of it. The ending "Always watching" I tried to make it involve the reader so that they also feel like they're being watched. Also, I don't get what you mean when you said "sic" when I put sat? Could you please explain what "sic" is?

Overall, thank you so much for all the feedback. I really needed it.Dan Haslam (talk) 22:38, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

The Prodigal Son
Yeah, I know I left without much of a word, but I just needed to deal with some things. I've been OK. I see there's been quite a few promotions since I left, and, not surprisingly, chat has been shut down. I'm actually surprised at how much it's changed in just a couple months. I'm guessing chat's shutdown had something to do with a heated argument involving you ferociously defending the genius of Venus in Furs. How have things been the past couple months?

Hey  empy m'boy

So sorry to bother you, but you have recently deletd my Pasta "DeathWish" for a spinoff story.

I would like to know what exactly you mean. I created this character on my own. If you are referring to the other story titled "Deathwish" (note the lowercase 'w') I assure you, there is no relation between the two. I never even read it.

If it's any other issue, please let me know so that we can get this straightened out, and maybe get my completely original Pasta back up

Thanks

Garglehurricane (talk) 00:24, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Hello Empy

Sorry to keep bothering you like this. A few things:

First, I applaud your attention to detail. You are quite fast, and seem to be a good admin. I checked your reputation.

Now, the punctuation. Yes, I see the issue there, that shall be rectified. But the multiple dialouge line thing? I was not aware of this rule.

Now, as for you saying that this is a proxy story. My story only briefly featured Slenderman, as a nod to one of my favorite Creepypastas. It is, in fact, Deathwish who is the main character here. Following your logic, we must delete "Pasta Monsters" a well-liked comic, Masky and Hoodie from everything, Jane the Killer, Ticci Toby...etc. In fact, if you were to remove every single pasta featuring another famous pasta, you'd have no wiki.

Out of curiosity, would you have removed my pasta if only for the grammar?

Garglehurricane (talk) 00:44, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

You seem to be somewhat against salutations, so enough with the pleasantries.

A) I believe the No spinoff rule should be revisted. How many good stories have been quashed, due to this rule? And, I'm sorry, you can  NOT discriminate. Why are older spinoffs olerated, but no other ones? Either take them all, or leave them

B) Go to tehe search bar, type in "Teddy Bear picnic". Tell me what you think

Garglehurricane (talk) 01:22, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Also, really man? I'm a new writer. This is my first pasta. So, forgive me for my cliches, would you?

Why not combine the wikis? Avoid the confusion, and the dozens of pissed off writers who'll be out for blood.

And, while we're on the topic, how about a section for beginner pastas? Allow people like me a jumping point.

In fact, maybe this idea should be broached to all, not just you and I. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.Garglehurricane (talk) 01:40, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations Sir. Now, what will Glorious Leader be requiring next?

Men with funny faces
Earlier today, on the 24th of January, I uploaded the story Men With Funny Faces. It was then deleted rather shortly after it had been uploaded. I suspect the reason for the deletion is because of the capitalisation of each word in the title. Unfortunately I was not aware of this rule since I didn't think that would really matter and I had not read the the regulations in detail. I would now make sure this mistake is not repeated if that is what caused the offence.

I have rewritten the story until I got it more or less on point. I have checked with two friends of mine, one of them doing a creative writing course in university, and they both checked for any mistakes, grammatical or structural, and approved the piece. I'm not sure if you're allowed to appeal for a second time but I am sure that I have improved and have taken your criticisms onboard.

Thanks for telling me about the Spinoff Appeal... But i do have another question. How do i post the story on the Spinoff Appeal page because i heard that the spinpasta wiki was abandoned and i dont have a DA account. Would it be ok to post the story on my blogspot and have people comment on it there? Or would posting it to the writers workshop page be the best option? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm still new here so i havent figured everything out yet. If you could give me some instructions on posting the story to SpinoffAppeal that would help me out a lot.

Thanks for the clarification! The reason why i was so confused about the spinoffpasta wiki page was because i was getting mixed signals from the site along with the lost episode blacklist on the creepypasta wiki page. So would uploading the story to blogspot be ok?

Reply to Blogspot message
Wait? I can upload the story onto my wiki blog? I might do that and upload it to my blogspot account when its finished as well just to be safe. Reguarding the extra strictness on Lost Episode creepypastas, yeah i do understand where the judges are coming from on that. I have read many Lost Episode creepypastas so i can quickly spot any cliches. In fact, i like to play the "Lost Episode Creepypasta Cliche Bingo" game where a bingo equals five cliches. Thats why im trying my best to avoid as many cliches with that genre. When i finish the story, im going to check for any cliches by playing the bingo game.

Oops! Im sorry! I got confused there! Yeah i heard something about not posting stories on the wiki blog but i guess i forgot about that. Yeah i guess i'll provide a blogspot link, upload it to SpinoffPasta wiki, and/or put it in the writer's workshop page on this wiki.

Hello;

I am not Nakedskeleton. The issue is, I have had that story for some time now, and someone (I am almost positive that I know them personally) stole and stripped my story,and posted it on here. I was not aware of this until the other day, when a friend of mine alerted me that someone had put my story on here. Therefore, I decided to alert people in the "Teeth.jpg" comment section that that wasn't the actual story, and I then posted it onto this site myself to clear up the misconceptions. I am angry that someone posted it without permission, and that is why my version is up. I'm sorry if I have caused any incoveniences to you or the other admins, and I hope to hear back from you and get it straightened out.
