User talk:Silver Gate Squadron

Hello there. Im wondering if you interested in possibly becoming an admin and helping out. Were really short staffed. If you interested just write on my talk page. --Phil Sutherland 10:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Admin

I checked your contributions, everything checks out OK. Just waiting for confirmation from Matt before I grant you that power. --Phil Sutherland 19:08, 1 June 2010 (UTC) Got the Ok from Matt, and you now an admin. A Bunch of new powers you now have. A couple of things I want you to do when checking for vandalism. Use the Recent changes button if you don't already and mark pages as patrolled when you check them. --Phil Sutherland 19:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to the admirality! Jesus Saves 01:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Thank you! (for the welcomes, not the powers. LOL.) Two question... I'm suddenly seeing red exclamation marks all over the "Recent Changes" page... what's that about? And is there anything specific you guys would like worked on (other than watching for vandals)?

The red ! marks are pages that have not been patrolled by admins. When I click on one of the pages it will give me an option to patrol it. If I do then the mark will go away. For now just watch for vandalism and if you can, post the welcome template on new users talk pages. {{Welcome|Your Name}} Im also trying to get a bot going by the name of Philyboy so watch put for it. --Phil Sutherland 10:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

How goes editing? --Phil Sutherland 19:14, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

- good. Mostly just been watching the Mechanics pages for bad information/vandalism. Like the work I did on Crew Droids.

hey i need admin status il help out he he

• Speaking only for myself, but... you need to register and prove your worth first. Silver Gate Squadron 22:34, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

i helped out latley alot User:Runescape

• Also, being the newest admin, I don't have that kind of pull. But at this point, I'd probably speak against you - not because you might not be helpful, but because we just don't know. Silver Gate Squadron 22:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

What happened? I logged on to see a new message which turns out to be some guy I have never heard of before asking for admin status. Then I go to the recent changes and see you are reverting a number of edits from the same IP address. Im guessing it was the same guy. --Phil Sutherland 19:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

• It looked like someone was trying to take over / destroy the Wiki. One of the pages he edited, he wrote "U can't catch e before I destroy the wiki"... so I reverted all his edits and blocked him. Hoping it was the right thing. Silver Gate Squadron 23:01, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

No you did the right thing. I want to congratulate on your actions. --Phil Sutherland 20:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

• Have been kinda wondering since this... I know it's possible as I contribute at another Wiki where it was done... do you think we should make ALL pages able to be edited by registered users only? It might cut down on the vandalism... Silver Gate Squadron 00:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

= The policy is to protect all pages after they have been vandalized once. -Phil Sutherland 21:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

• Understood. Just wondering if a change of policy might be desirable. Just a random idea. Silver Gate Squadron 00:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

= Il think about it but il have to ask Blue Frog Gamming. -Phil Sutherland 21:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Getting your first test as admin, I see. :) Jesus Saves 00:28, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Hows it going? --Phil Sutherland 19:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Doing okay. Any particulars you want?

• Jesus Saves mentioned an idea about an editing council page so I decided to create it. Starfleet Commander talk:Wiki Editors Council

Please check this reqularly. --Phil Sutherland 13:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me updating the chats on the ships? --Phil Sutherland 14:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

RFA

I want all the admins to vote yes or know (Read the page before voting on the talk page). Hope fully we will be having more people apply soon. Read this page and then vote on the talk page.

• The user will not be getting admin status back. He abused it and now is creating more lies to cover up the original ones. --Phil Sutherland 11:29, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

For UAC Logo

File:Uac-demo.jpg This is a very rough draft of what I've had floating in my head for a while. In the middle of the two circles are the letters "UAC". The specifics:

• The letters are shaped as rectangles with rounded corners. The letters are an unbroken continuation of one line with several bends. The right side of the U flows directly up to form the left side of the A, and the right side of the A flows downward to create the backbone of the C.
• The inner circle is a gray color as shown, while the outer ring has either the gray color as shown for it, or even better, is brown.
• The letters and the borders of the two circles are gold.
• The outer ring has a consistent width, and doesn't bulge on the sides like my poor drawing here does. Its width is equal to that of the top of the ring shown here.
• Bonus stuff, if you're interested:
  • Give it a slight 3D feel, where the letters stick out a few pixels and are rounded. The whole image is ever so slightly angled to the left.
  • Lighting effects: a cresent-shaped reflection/glare of light that goes from the top to the bottom, with the bend reaching its furthest about where the U and the A connect.
  • A little reflection/glare on the gold borders, as well.

Honestly, I'll take whatever you can make. And I'll be sure to credit you for it as well. Thanks!

* Here's the first draft of what I genned up while I was waiting to hear what you wanted. Be happy to work on it (or from scratch), make something a bit closer to what you were talking about... BTW the Latin is the translation of "Join or Die", which is also the motto of the new MLS team in Philadelphia.

• I'll add it to the list of options, but I'll hold off until you get the one I suggested done up. Jesus Saves 03:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

* Here's the draft of what I think you're talking about... Silver Gate Squadron 05:21, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

• That's pretty good, thin the letters to, say, a quarter of that width.
