After what happened on the KEO page today, I now feel it was a complete waste ever to have contributed to this Wiki. Because of this, it is very, very unlikely I will ever log into my account here again. If you think my contributions would be valuable and have trouble getting my attention via my talk page, my gmail username is the same. Featherwinglove (talk) 15:54, 27 July 2013 (CDT)

Okay now you complaining at Dgelessus about I didn't read this here? Simply because I think you overreact. Nothing is lost as all versions of the KEO page are still in the version history. If you think your (only) contribution to this wiki is waste of time it is your opinion and when you want to leave this wiki you can do that. Now you actually replied to your talk page so e-mailing you wasn't even necessary. So I don't know how you figured I didn't read your comment here. As you only address Dgelessus I let you talk and won't touch the KEO page again (at least for the next time until you either abandon this Wiki or somebody else “vandalize” it). — xZise [talk] 03:59, 28 July 2013 (CDT)

Not didn't read this, I mean didn't understand this, nor much else I've written in your general direction. Learn English!!! Learn English!!! Learn English!!! Learn English!!! Learn English!!! Until then, don't complain when I'm asking Dgelessus for help with translation. "Overreact", thanks. You obviously have no idea how frustrating it is to find a non-English person who doesn't know rocket science administering an English rocket science wikipedia and replacing an expert's work with jibberish. Of course, I'm going to "overreact", thank you very much. Featherwinglove (talk) 14:36, 23 August 2013 (CDT)

-.-

Seriously, can we stop arguing about this now? --dgelessus ^{(talk · contribs)} 14:42, 23 August 2013 (CDT)

So, I take that to mean you're fine with this pathetic state of affairs. It'll be very difficult for any of us to discern just how much this cost your Wiki. Since I never made them (and because I might not be the only one so deterred), I can't tell you how many useful edits never happened because of this baloney. You're obviously fine with that. Don't feel lonely: the forums have no tolerance for experts either. Nobody respond on the talk pages please if you're talking to me, I only visit them once every month or so (check the dates). You can figure out my email above. Featherwinglove (talk) 14:31, 14 September 2013 (CDT)

Okay this is now my fifth revision. And I don't know what to say. You make it to a baloney as you bringing this topic every then and now up. I didn't answered because obviously I'm not capable of the English language so why should I waste time answering to you when you don't understand it? Or maybe you only want to hear an apology so here you have it: “I'm sorry to edit the KEO article, but in my opinion this article needs to be revised. The naming is odd and it contained unnecessary speculation. As all articles (except tutorials) don't belong to anybody I can't edit “your” article so I didn't edited yours.”. In fact somebody edited it lately so you should definitely check that out.

I also never heard Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit as the explanation but instead it's either Geostationary Orbit or Geostationary orbit (you claim you are the expert). Why not simply Kerbosynchronous Orbit which is closer to the original. (Edit: This was incorrect, I apologise) Oh and about the LEO = Low Energy Orbit, see in “your” article: Somebody vandalised it out. As promised I refrained from editing (and “fixing” that) the article. Okay before I get raged. Sign: — xZise [talk] 15:05, 14 September 2013 (CDT)

Quite frankly, I don't think you should be running this Wiki, XZise, but the least you can do is quit lying on your language matrix. Featherwinglove (talk) 15:16, 14 September 2013 (CDT)

Ops that thing with geosynchronous equatorial orbit slipped my mind. Sorry. Oh and I don't run the Wiki. I do edits like anybody else. Okay I can delete/move pages but in 99.99% somebody else requested it. — xZise [talk] 15:31, 14 September 2013 (CDT)

Thanks, it appears to be safe enough to contribute, so I'll see what I can do. I don't have as much time I can give to KSP as I did back in July. I have ArrowStar's TOT, he's not around here, near as I can tell, and it is not so easy to use. We need some porkchops, so I'll start cooking some up (it'll be slow coming.) As for naming orbits, one of the things I always ask, and was being asked years before I was born is "What do we tell Sulu?" We now have over two thousand planetary bodies to deal with in real life, plus a similar number in fiction. "Low Earth Orbit" and the like just doesn't cut it anymore, and "Standard Orbit" isn't enough. Let's see if we can set an example here. - Featherwinglove (talk) 16:40, 14 September 2013 (CDT)

Now your approach is a bit odd: On the one hand there is your redefinition of LEO to low energy orbit but on the other hand there is the special name of KSO which is only defined for Kerbin (although the K could stand for Kerbol). I personally prefer apoapsis/periapsis instead of apogee/perigee/apohelios/perihelios so I'm on your side with low energy orbit. That's why I created the synchronous orbit article: This is a general topic which handles all synchronous orbits and not only around Kerbin. — xZise [talk] 09:31, 15 September 2013 (CDT)

Adding photos to Resource infoboxes

Hey, is it alright if I change the template for Infobox/Resource to allow images? Cause right now file is set to none, and I've got some photos that would make all the resource pages feel less like stubs. (Also how do you get that longer line in front of your signature) --Chuzzard (talk) 01:48, 14 August 2013 (CDT)

I'm wondering what image you would add for a resource? If it's a good picture, then of course, but resources are quite abstract. And how I get the longer line? On Ubuntu is a default key combination (AltGr+Shift+-) but you can also use — and instead of adding --~~~~ manually add —~~~~ or edit in the Special:Preferences your signature to — [[User:Chuzzard|Chuzzard]] ([[User talk:Chuzzard|talk]]) but then you have to type only ~~~~. — xZise [talk] 02:02, 14 August 2013 (CDT)

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! And yes, it is true that recources are difficult to depict. The pictures I mentioned are just the green resource bars on the top left of the flight UI, with the corresponding resource circled. I know, it's not much, but I feel it at least makes the pages a bit less lifeless.

—Chuzzard (talk) 02:16, 14 August 2013 (CDT)

Hmmm maybe show parts using them? Like a thrusting engine for LF, OX and MP, a light cone (+light source) for electricity, something like that. Highlighted resource bars don't look very helpful. — xZise [talk] 03:07, 14 August 2013 (CDT)

Lower Q images

Hey there, on the stub explanation for the page "settings", you mentioned re-doing the images in a lower quality. If I'm getting the images, do you mean zooming in on specific portions of text, so that there's not much empty space? — Chuzzard (talk) 00:19, 16 August 2013 (CDT)

According to File:Graphics_menu.png the game resolution is set to 1600×900 and I'm talking about that resolution. If this is set to a lower value (I'm not sure what the lowest is, 1024×768?) everything should be still visible, but the three buttons on the bottom aren't that far away and there is not so much space on the left/right. Of course it is also possible to simply cut the part in the middle out, but maybe somebody wanted to recreate the screenshots in a lower more suitable resolution. By the way, you can upload new versions of an image. — xZise [talk] 02:46, 16 August 2013 (CDT)

Sure, didn't know what you meant at first. — Chuzzard (talk) 03:02, 16 August 2013 (CDT)

Strange formatting

Hello, do you think you could take a look at the page "settings" ? At the top of the page, even before the stub notice, there's a 1 and then f6f6f6. I can't find this in the source, and it looks really strange. I'ts also creeping me out. plz healp — Chuzzard (talk) 05:23, 18 August 2013 (CDT)

Yeah I upgraded the {{Box}} template to the format in the English Wikipedia. But there was a bug in it which I needed to find first. It's fixed now. — xZise [talk] 05:26, 18 August 2013 (CDT)

благодарю

Я первый раз редактирую wiki, и поэтому не откажусь от помощи и буду сам помогать развивать русский сегмент по своим силам! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remel (talk • contribs)

Hopefully the machine translator is correct on this one. — xZise [talk] 14:47, 30 August 2013 (CDT)

Перевод

Помоги с переводом Parts/ru = части, Liquid fuel engines/ru = жидкотопливные двигатели. я не умею. может ты сделаешь их, а у меня будешь спрашивать перевод? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remel (talk • contribs)

I don't know if you understand English, but I don't have a clue about Russian. (Google translator: Я не знаю, если вы понимаете английский язык, но у меня нет ни малейшего понятия о России.) — xZise [talk] 15:46, 30 August 2013 (CDT)
