User talk:Kolpik/Archive 1

Welcome Edit

Hello there, I'm Kolpik, talk to me. Feel free to ask me a question if you are so inclined, or maybe you just want to shoot the shit. That's cool too. :) I'll try my best if you'd like to request a review of your story, or if you have any darker requests. This is also where you can read all about my screw-ups, and failings if you're looking for a laugh. You might even consider clicking here, and giving one of my stories a perusal. That could be why you're here. Hey, it's possible. :)

MrDupin (talk) 13:43, February 26, 2018 (UTC) I just got your message and I want to say best of luck to you with your revisions and I hope you get some good feedback. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 20:59, March 14, 2018 (UTC) Thank you!! Edit

Hiya Kolpik, many thanks for the tip. I have posted my story on Writer's Showcase Board. :)

By user Edit

Hey, I fixed the by user template on your recent poem. All you need to do to add a by-user is type {{. A window should pop up with a search bar and you would type in by-user. Select the box labeled 1 and type in your username.

Return the slab Edit

Kolpik, mate, hello.

Could you check out the new CP I've posted in the workshop, its called "These Things Still Happen in Russia"

Danke

Ps; if you don't get the reference of the headline of this message, you are either too old or your childhood wasn't fun :(

Jdeschene Category Edit

Thanks for the information. I hope I've been doing the right thing by adding my username as a category to my stories. Not sure how it ends up on the list of username categories. Can you help/clarify?

Jdeschene (talk) 06:09, April 25, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Kolpik, I'm about to drop a story in the writer's workshop in the next hour or so. Would you mind checking it out maybe and giving some feedback?

Re: Edit

Your edit was completely wrong. I was kind of baffled someone like you would make that kind of mistake, hence the edit summary. Just make sure to brush up on grammar rules before making grammar edits in the future. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 20:28, May 5, 2018 (UTC)

Poem Formatting Edit

Thank you so much! I was hoping there was a way to make poem formatting work, and you led me right to it! ^_^

RE: Things People Say Wiki Edit

It is absolutely terrific! How are you so good?! This is going on there, definitely!

But I'm glad you took time out of your surely busy schedule to visit my novice Wiki, which only has one article I might add. Anything to make the wiki bigger and better helps a little bit. It's like... decorating a room. That's why I put the link to it in my profile: in case someone like you felt inclined to view it.

You are probably one of the choice few who have laid eyes upon it besides me (insert celebratory gif here). Feel free to add to it any time you feel is necessary, help welcome. The One and Only Sandwich Wizard. (talk) 00:52, June 19, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks For the Reminder Edit

Thanks for letting me know. Gonna edit my comment to include the links. Thanks again.

How to Delete CatsEdit

Normally, I use Visual Editor. If you're using that, there's a box on the side where the categories are located, and you should hover over it and click the trash can.

If you're using Visual Editor, there is one icon at the top with three lines. If you click that, the second icon down is "Categories". Click on it, and on the top right-hand side of the box which pops up, there is a trash can icon. Click that.

I think you can also go into Classic Editor when you would normally get Source Editor by clicking the arrow next to the edit tab.

That is the collated category knowledge of Squidmanescape (talk) 03:01, July 12, 2018 (UTC).

RE: Blank ResponseEdit

No, you didn't jump the gun. You're not supposed to blank pages even it's your own. If author wants a page deleted they need to request it from an admin. Throwing a delete tag brings it to their attention as well.

I'm Actually a Dog PersonEdit

Your category has been set up, and your stories have been added. You are free to add any subsequent stories you write to it at your own leisure.

Furthermore, I'd like to invite you to our officially unofficial Discord Channel: it's a fun place, and we need you with us.

Ah wait what? Edit

Who was dumb enough to use MY name to gain "fame" around here... That's like the dumbest choice ever, I mean, you've people like Icy and Banned in CP and you still choose me... wow... I don't really get that much of my stuff noticed really...

Odd odd...

Anyhow, could you read my latest entry in the WW it's called, "Between The Birches". I'd appreciate that.

thanks, I appreciate it.

Thank you much Edit

Thanks for leaving a message on ShepardMoons's Talk Page. I was gonna do that myself but I guess you got to it first. Still grateful.

Now we just gotta wait and see if they actually read it! (I hope they do, if not that's a perfectly good quote wasted.)

RE: Who is this imposter? (XD) Edit

Yeah, that's weird. There must be a fault in my signature, I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks again. With all these times you've earned a "thanks" from me... maybe I'll have to start making "IOU" coupons!

(I should get started on those, eh?)

The One and only Sandwich Wizard (talk) 17:18, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

It's fixed now. Try it out if you want! The One and only Sandwich Wizard (talk) 17:22, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

Formatting Edit

Hi there. How did you get columns on your profile page? I've been trying to figure out how to do that.

Thanks!

I'd love to make a comment on the finale blog page for the SftSS Contest to congratulate the winner, Zarinaaa, and say how much fun it was, but I can't.

sort template Edit

Hey Kolpik, I added the sort template to that story, but just to let you know that non-staff users are free to add sort templates as needed.

Your friendly neighborhood night owl. (talk) 02:28, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

Duly noted. Thank you. :) --Kolpik (talk) 10:39, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

CongratsEdit

I had no idea you've been on this wiki for 200 days already. Seems like it was only yesterday I first saw you.

Keep up the good work, mate. Go for the 365 days.

Helel ben Shahaar (talk) 01:45, September 15, 2018 (UTC)

I nominated Into the Pysche for PotM, just think everyone deserves a little recognition and I really enjoyed the story.--L0CKED334 (talk) 01:54, September 15, 2018 (UTC)

Like I told Helel, this place is like therepy for me and everyone here has been awesome. Just wanted to spred it around. We keep working together as a community and there is no telling what we will achieve. --L0CKED334 (talk) 04:51, September 15, 2018 (UTC)

NarrationsEdit

I only know the basics to creating a proper video that will be uploaded to YouTube. First you will need a decent microphone, doesn't have to be high end but something that doesn't give a lot of feedback and pick up a lot of background noise. Two, you will need some sort of video editing software. The last one I used was Windows Movie Maker and it happend to be pre-installed on the computer I use to have. You will need to get permissions from author's and find creepy images to use on your video. You will also need access to creepy sound files but they are easy to locate. A quick Google search should provide you with those. Anything outside of that or more specific you may way to talk to one of the narrators here to see what they use/do. L0CKED334 (talk) 15:13, September 19, 2018 (UTC)

Story IdeasEdit

There is a game I play when I feel a bit of writer's block. I played it in Discord with Helel the other day just for kicks. It's like making your own "Choose Your Adventure" story on the spot. You come up with a place and offer someone choices then when they make that choice you try to come up with outcomes from that choice. You continue this, offering choices until you feel like you have reached a desirable ending.

Pictures Edit

Hi Kolpik,

It's actually pretty simple. So, as you know, when you edit a story, you have the option to add images. When you click that button and the window pops up, you can search through images by typing a keyword. So, for instance, I might search "food" or "dinner" and see what comes up. This usually narrows it down to a couple of options and if I see something I like, I use it.

Let me know if you need more of an explanation. I hope you found this useful.

It was my pleasure.

But hey, if you could spare a moment, could you please visit Discord: there is something I'd like to ask you?

Helel ben Shahaar (talk) 07:49, September 26, 2018 (UTC)

Just a heads up, your story is in the lead for PotM.L0CKED334 (talk) 15:33, September 28, 2018 (UTC)

Just being a potato roll Edit

Heyy Kolpik, I'm doing well, it's been a while eh... Nice to see you around. Really is!

Hope you're doing just as well... I havent seen you post anything really :O

(Hope you're not giving up on your craft)

And sure, you can review whatever you like of mine! Glad you've liked "The Naked Tree". I honestly prefer the review of someone like yourself who'd say they have no clue what they're doing to a smartass who thinks they know every last bit of the "job". So if you are interested, I put up a new one in the WS, it's called "Penance Day", have a look, lemme know what you think.

Cheers, mate!

Re: Edit

Honestly, you should probably just leave it be. As Empy informed me in discord, the admins have a tool to undue all the spammer's edits at once. Your friendly neighborhood night owl. (talk) 01:10, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Follow-up on Narration Edit

Hello, Kolpik!

This is in response to the post you left on my forums a few weeks ago.

I've read over your profile, and I really like a lot of your works. But I have to say my favorite so far is "The Final Words of Lacey Stroh," and I'd be honored to narrate it, if you'd allow me! :) I probably plan have it out on either October 23rd or 30th (depending on my schedule-- I would clarify when it gets closer).

Thank you once again for volunteering your stories for me to read! It helps me out so much!

Yours,

No problem, thanks for taking it to the writer's workshop and revising it. Feel free to upload it whenever you want when you fix up the backslash errors. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:32, October 21, 2018 (UTC)

Thanksgiving story Edit

Hey did you change the name of the story. I'm not able to fine your Thanksgiving story.

--No Time Creepy (talk) 16:19, November 17, 2018 (UTC)NoTime

Thanksgiving story Edit

Hey, I tried to record your Thanksgiving story, but there are a few sentences in it where I was out of breath before I could even get to the end of it. I recorded for about an hour before I just gave up. Sorry I come across this some times when I narrate, just kills me in breathing.

Christmas Stories Edit

I made a post a few days ago about doing Christmas pastas once a week up to Christmas Day. I will be starting that at the end of this month.

We've Been Featured! Edit

Hi, Kolpik!

This is just a message to let you know that I was just informed that my "The Final Words of Lacey Stroh" video narration was included in a recent podcast by a user named Scarecrow Tales.

Here is the link, if you'd like to listen to it. Just figured I would let you know-- I'm very excited to spread the word of such a good story! :)

Yours,

Spirit

RE: Asterisks Edit

Heya, no problem :) Those squares appear because in Wikitext, the asterisk signifies an item in a bullet-point list, like this: ◾ This is a list ◾ Very cool ◾ It also supports: ◾ Hierarchical indentation via multiple asterisks ◾ Yay ◾ Amazing

So when you place three asterisks at the start of the line, the wiki thinks you're trying to start a list, but it's confused because there's no content to go with it. You can also use the pound symbol/hashtag to do numbered lists: 1. Numbered list 2. Another item 1. Hierarchy ftw

The {{*}} template uses the HTML escape code for the asterisk, rather than the character itself, so the parser doesn't think it's a list, just a normal character. It also has the "cool" feature of allowing you to centre the asterisks by adding the center=yes parameter, like this:



I hope that clears things up a bit :)

Pasta marked for review! Edit

Why did you mark my CreepyPasta for review? It's clearly an amateur pasta made by some person just trying to make a pasta to see how good it gets. I didn't put anything really offensive in the page did I? If I saw a page like that (which I did on another wiki) I would report it to admins immedately! It's literally an amateur pasta, what this wiki was designed for, and you want to delete it. Why, just why! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sausagea1000 (talk • contribs). Author has been messaged/warned for removing templates and ignoring the numerous punctuation, capitalization, wording, and story issues that were present in the story. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 01:07, December 29, 2018 (UTC) Re:Showcase Edit

The thing is, you have to have to either be a Discussions Moderator or an admin to be able to edit other people's forum posts. You could ask Cleric for the Discussions Moderator role, but the truth is I'm on the 8th page of the board with only two more to go after that.

The truth is, I was reading through all the stories posted on Showcase anyway, and along the way I saw a bunch of posts that didn't have the template, had their stories deleted, were posted in the wrong board, etc., so I figured I may as well ask for the Showcase Moderator role while I was reading through all the stories so I could fix up the board as I went along.
