User talk:Katherine Rebekah/Archive 1

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Inkheart Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User talk:Xxsammmsammmxx page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Xxsammmsammmxx (talk) 00:28, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

Oh super-duper-truper WELCOME!!!/"Appearances" arrangement
Hey there Katherine! I'm actually still in the middle of replying your message xDDD But yes, you are doing it right! I think the only difference that will need to get used to is that you usually don't reply under the post (unless it's an article talk page where multiple people may discuss how to handle what's going on) but write back to the person's own talk page, if that makes any sense! I'm so glad to see you!!! *hugs* Hope this wiki won't disappoint too much! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:35, April 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * And yes! you can just reply it in the same section! Unless there's something specific needing to discuss about, then you can title it something else! =D -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:03, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

BTW, check out Talk:Elinor's house xDDD -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 02:53, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

Re:More Questions/Re:Re:More Questions
I wouldn't say I'm good at spelling either, but if you see this as a potential problem, please make sure to double the effort on spell-check; this wiki may not be like this before, but right now it values quality over quantity; the last thing I want is massive pages with typos everywhere (Violante's page a few days before I edited, had her son's name completely misspelled all the way; what kind of message does that send? To me, it says even the editor didn't bother to remember the name of the character). I would prefer no hasty edits, but contents that are precise and written with care. I realized what I wrote in the community corner probably is the source of the confusion, (I didn't see it could be interpret that way, my bad; but I'll leave it like that until the message needed to be fully updated) I have since updated the Inkheart Wiki:About, hopefully it will explain a bit clearly. Basically, "Inkheart Wiki" is the OFFICIAL NAME, but "Inkipedia" (which if lame, it's on me, cuz I thought the pun on Wikipedia was cute) is the stylized or self-referred title of the wiki. Why it is not simply changed to the official name, is because of... something I honestly only learned about within this month, SEO. It just means when people search for us, they are more likely to use the keyword "Inkheart" instead of a stylized name, so being called "Inkheart Wiki" has a far greater chance to be top-listed comparing to "Inkipedia". The prime example of this is perhaps WikiNarnia; make no mistake, the official name is in fact still "The Chronicles of Narnia Wiki", as you can see on the top search bar saying "Search within The Chronicles of Narnia Wiki", but the logo and how it just sounds cooler, is a different story xDDD I will do something similar with our logo, once the merging is done, but right now, I just don't think that should be the top priority... because, what's the use of a fancy logo, if our content just sucked anyways? xD
 * Spelling
 * More about this wiki and its adminship

As for being an admin, kind of like what you said, once you get the hang of editing and contributing, I don't see why not! =] However, as much as I'm relief to hear that someone is willing to help out, I also need to suggest you to not take it lightly; I know you, being here and editing, already outweighed those "admins" that are inactive, but we wouldn't want another new one, just to later become the same like them, right? I'm not saying this to discourage you or specifically to you for the matter, it is because I reviewed parts of the conversations of those previous admins, and they all applied because obviously they were into the trilogy and they wanted to help out, however, they all disappeared not long after. The only admin I think that had a legit reason to go, is User:MakeShift; honestly, it was a complete coincident, cuz I actually know him first on the main wiki he is currently in charge of; he is a great leader, and some parts of this wiki will also follow what he sets out on the other wiki. Before I took over, he had the most edits here, and you can kinda tell, a single person can only do so much when virtually nobody is around, plus he now has a way larger community to handle, so I think it is completely understandable that he just could not spare time for this one.

All I can say is, time will tell; right now I do have faith in you cuz you seem like an actual fan (some admins really didn't seem like they were LOL), but yeah, just do a bit more editing, perhaps focus on one project, like concentrating on getting the chapter synopsis of one book page done, then your position is most definitely guaranteed! Back to the "don't take it lightly" thing, it is really about the sense of commitment; Ohmystars actually mentioned in the passing and asked if I were interested in becoming an admin there; I felt fan-effing-tastically flattered, but I just couldn't agree to become one, as I literally do not know whether my passion for it will last. (that and of course here is my top priority, but even so, the unknown factor is just something I'd like to avoid, as I would hate to become an admin there, only to then become inactive, like so many of those on this one) Anyways, I will let you know when I feel it's time, and hopefully by then you are still interested in becoming one :3

Lastly, please don't apologize for raising questions! Before you came, there was literally no "community" here, as it was just myself and perhaps some anons, so now, having another person's opinion is very VERY helpful! As for taking much of my time, I wouldn't say it's not true, just look at the total time I need to reply you lol. BUT, that's what an admin's job is, isn't? Plus, what you asked are good questions, and not just some kid whining for no reason, (I'm actually borderline sick of this one person of this one wiki... the person is the prime example of why there is an age-requirement for joining wikia, honestly, some people are so immature beyond what I can fathom) some of the stuff we talked about may end up being on Inkheart Wiki:Policies and guidelines ... which I'm still working on and is nowhere close to being finished. So yeah, you, my dear, are helping this wiki far more than you realize! I, on the other hand, hope you can bear with me, as I type super slow and talk way too much, so the respond time (by the time it's fully done) may not be quick as expected.

-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) Completed editing on 22:01, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

Is that what the profile picture is? LOL anyhow it's kinda more than being ignorant of the policies; it's how the person basically told me "s/he has a life, so s/he can't copy and paste his/her stuff to reedit his/her post", when s/he has the time to harass me and call me a stalker not long after I undid his/her edits (which thankfully s/he realized later it was rightfully done), and the fact s/he has the time to copy and paste the exact same stuff to create a blog, but can't effing re-edit his/her own post. If that's not blatantly being difficult on purpose, I don't know what is. I'm just GLAD the person is not here, because his/her action will warrant a block in no time.
 * "That person":

idk if you unfollow pages for a good reason, but um, following a page you've edited has some perks; if you're on http://inkheart.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges, when the ones you follow has been updated it will be easier to see. I have actually looked through your edits on Elinor's house, and have given feedbacks on its talk page... guesss that's the downside as it doesn't send an auto message to notify the people who worked on it. Be sure to check it out though! =D
 * Updates:

All in all, really looking forward to seeing you around! xoxo -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 02:57, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah... I understand about newcomers getting defensive when they don't know it's not personal when stuff gets undone, it's just atop that, I really wish the person had some sense of decency, you know? lol If s/he can find the time to write to me and complain about trivial stuff, what exactly is the reason s/he can't re-edit and paste his/her pre-typed post? His/her action just screams silly (translate: effing stupid) to me, and I was super close to type out actual swear words, and I have to remind myself apparently I AM actually dealing with a kid, not just some grownup acting childish... The person's supposed age kinda is the only thing stopping me from internet-yelling him/her... wouldn't want to be seen as one of those adults (really hate to admit I am one) who bullies kids, now, would we? >;]


 * Hmmm... this is weird... now that you asked, I checked... and it's weird because I honestly thought it was default, and when it's not, it should be under "My preference".... but again, it's not... so I'm not sure at the moment... (I thought there would be a box were you can click to choose whether you want to automatically follow a page you've edited) Usually it is like that... but um... see the bottom bar on the page? It should say "Follow", "Watchlist" "My Tools" and "Customize", I am not entirely sure if that's the default cuz I know I customized it at one point.... but yeah, when there's a page you're interested, just click on the "Follow" then you'll follow it. I suck at explaining... hopefully this will help? http://inkheart.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Watchlist


 * Hey girl! Morning (assuming it's morning for you)! I have a feeling this person is actually twelve (not qualified) and pretending to be thirteen (qualified) lol I'm not exactly sure but I really feel it was the same anon complaining to Ohmystars about "Why does it have to be 13!!!" cuz right afterwards this person showed up talking almost the same way xP


 * BTW, if you haven't checked, scroll down to the bottom of the "About" page!!! It is really all thanks to you! We got kinda showcased! I've sent a request to take care of the no image problem, but dude (genderless imo xP ) GJ!!! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 14:15, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * 7:28AM, living in SF like stated on profile =] Inkheart Wiki:About, you can also find it on the top navigation "... and more!" then "This community ♥"! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 14:31, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Guh, I feel so dumb, it is at preferences after all! http://inkheart.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-emailv2 Such a weird placement... it says "Follow pages I..." and then you get to choose which ones! Problem solved xDDDD -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:14, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

Other tasks!/Re:Schedule
Before reading this, be sure to read the last reply in the previous section! =D

But no, make no mistake, you are undoubtably the reason we were able to make it up there! That's the thing about WAM; I actually pretty much "complained" about it to Ohmystar, and the recent score just proved my deduction correct; active head-counts matter more than actual edit-counts, cuz I have been working my butt off and still lost to various wikis that had no new edits, like the Lunar Chronicles Wiki, there was actually a few days on which the activities are solely comments or wall messages, but because a lot of different people are on there, it maintains a relatively high rank; wiki apparently also LOVES stuff other than just words, cuz once I started updating some low quality images and added some extra ones and some related videos, the rank also bumped up, but still not as much as when you arrived! So yeah, really, like I said before, prior to you there was no community, and although I'm not exactly sure if two people can be seen as one, but it's definitely better than a single person lol -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 19:16, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ahhh... I never imagine it as anything less than a gimongous amount of work lol, I think my ambitions may be the death of me xDDD I could have still kept a low profile and notified no one and just taken my time to do very little edits everyday and drag the reestablishment to a whole year or maybe years... but no.... idk on what impulse, I just leapt before I was ready, before this wiki was ready... I mean, dude (genderless!) I'm super glad I was able to randomly (by fate? lol) meet you and you're such a great help ALREADY (like seriously), but the downside is that I also started feel an extra pressure, like "because I'm admin I'll need to do even more!!!!!!" (I actually didn't sleep last night, though I don't think the wiki is the only reason lol) I'm seriously considering just making you admin RIGHT NOW, base on your super stellar summary earlier; but um, so let's give it a week? Sounds good? because I have a track record (which I'm very ashamed of but I'll be honest) to be addicted (not drug related!) to certain things; this is my first Wiki as an admin and it is pretty clear to me that I'm already showing the signs, of you know, not having an actual life and just so focusing on something that's on the internet... Orz So in a way I really think having you here is another scale to tell if I just need to back off a bit... Like... as much I would like this wiki to be prosper and all, the world will not end if it still isn't done in TEN YEARS. lol


 * Great... sorry I may be confusing you right now, but I'm just trying to say, I think I will not be participating as much as the first few days I had since you have joined; I was super hyped and excited to actually find someone into the trilogy, and you ARE very enjoyable to converse with, so I perhaps got a bit carried away; it's not bad, but it can't be the norm cuz even I can realize it's not healthy to spend 5 hours out of 24hr a day to respond a reply. I just want to make it clear that I'm NOT going to disappear like the other admins, it's just that prior to your joining, I also wasn't as active as these two days, so the decrease of activity is for what I need to get my real life back together lol. (I'm like super serious right now)


 * About the leaping before being ready thing, I'm not sure if it's actually going to make that much of a difference, but I've secured a mid-june spotlight blogpost for our wiki to be featured on The Book Cooks, I have no idea just how many extra viewers (if any) that will gain us, but I have a feeling most people are visual animals, so perhaps, if you are almost done with Inkheart by then, don't start on the second book but switch to the movie; I will also be doing that as june draws nearer. Hope I'm preparing you enough about what's to come lol.
 * -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:04, April 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Your schedule sounds nice! And yes I had a good long night's rest :3 Thank you for the concern!


 * As for naming, when you upload image through editing, like you click on "Add features and media" then "Photo"; after selecting your file and click "Upload", you should get the image and a box for description on the LEFT, and on the RIGHT, there's "Appearance on Page Layout" ("Thumbnail" or "Full-size"), "Alignment", and then "More options"; be sure to click on "More options", then you'll get to properly name the file. This is something I will def. cover on the policy so no worries! (I had to figure it out myself as well, so I'm not going to be those admin that just assume people all know how to do it; I'm sorry I haven't put up the actual instruction, so that's on me) -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:30, April 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ahaha I just meant I'll try not to spend my ENTIRE day on this wiki lmao; I'm still going to be on, but just not that crazily on here all the time lol.


 * Schedule, I actually prefer working on different times, so that when I'm on, I get to see the differences made and respond to it while doing my own edits, and when you are on you can see what changes have been made since you were gone etc. It can also decrease clashing edits (it happened to me like once in a popular wiki... it sucks when I wasn't prepared and just freaked out and click the wrong thing and lost what I was working on lmao), I know it's less likely to happen here, but with us two, I don't think it's entirely impossible either xP Plus, I actually don't know if there's a regularity on what time I'm on, so that I really can't give you a direct answer.


 * Yes, I've seen your edits! They are as awesome as they usually are!

BTW, creating an actual talk archive for you, hope that's okay. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 13:55, April 28, 2015 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about not doing a summary or apologize for it! I talked to you about the logo lol so I know you must have spent quite some time on it. It's all cool! =D -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:45, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

 * NP =]


 * Ahhh... sadly I don't watch Avatar:TLA, so I'm as of now not interested in reading its fanfic; I have watched Legend of Korra season 1, and I'm not exactly sure what happened but I know something disappointed me so I stopped watching it lol Thanks for letting me know though! =D If I do one day delve into the series, I'll be sure to check it out! (and if you're interested to know what fanfics I've written, try searching on FFN with variations of my twitter account xP I have a feeling you won't be interested in any of the fics though ahahaha)


 * BTW, it's getting close to your one-week anniversary here lmao. Are you still interested in becoming an admin? If yes, I may just set you as one on May 1st. =]


 * Currently I may go back to what I wrote on the community corner, filter usable stuff from the other two wikis, you start seeing imported pages that have counterparts here, don't be alarmed.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:18, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't know about the suing fan fiction writers, but as an illustrator, a fellow creator, I value copyright; so if someone is profiting from stuff they aren't suppose to be profiting from, I don't see why legal action shouldn't be taken upon. Just because someone is now famous doesn't mean their rights should be ignored or that since they now have enough money, just let other nameless people rip them off cuz it doesn't hurt them as much as stealing from poor people would to the poor. There's nothing wrong with writing fan fics, but if, like I stated above, someone IS profiting from those fics, then that's their own fault for getting sued (which is why a lot of fic writers take time writing disclaimers.)


 * I've seen glimpse of Avatar, and I'm just not interested, sorry =/ I think this is mainly because I AM an Asian who actually grew up in Asia, so when I see something that's supposedly strongly base on or influenced by Asian culture, I'm extra wary and quicker to judge.


 * lol I'm not up to directly promote my unrelated-to-this-wiki work here. Like I said, if you're interested, try searching on FFN with combinations of my twitter account (shown in pics if unable to access the site). And no, it has nothing to do with goody two shoes; girl, do I look like a mature person who writes mature content? I sure hope not. I just don't know if you will be interested in fics of certain fandoms, that's all. I mean, I only knew you for like less than a week; I don't exactly know what other stuff you like besides what you already talked about, and the subjects of the fics I wrote haven't been brought up, so I don't automatically assume you would like them. xP


 * May 1st it is then! :3 and I will let you know if additional help is needed!


 * -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 13:45, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * As for profiting from fics, it could be like "click here to purchase in order to read my fanfic!" or something that looks equally innocent. Honestly, if it's like at a fan convention or something it should be fine, but it can't be mass marketing commercialized publication. As for FSoG, to my understanding, the only thing it had used from Twilight was the names of the major characters, not even their backstories or other canon factors, which is why after a simple name change, it basically is a completely original and different story (no vampires, no other mystical beings). Now, if her story were also about vampires and stuff that was established in Twilight, I'm pretty sure in that case, she WILL get sued =]


 * S'alright. Not offended, just mortified if I did in fact give the "hey, I write mature stuff" vibe lmao. S'cool, and yes, it makes sense. :3 -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:07, April 30, 2015 (UTC)

┌────────┘

Ahhh see this is where we see things differently (not a bad thing!), I've never understood the complete AU type of fan fics, and frankly I still don't lol. I first came across those when I was reading BtVS fics (another universe full of mystical beings) and simply didn't fathom the point of it; if it's just another ordinary high school girl, why does it need to be Buffy? Better yet, if it's a victorian era fic, why does it have to be characters from BtVS? If it's basically AU anyways, people can easily switch out the main characters' name and replace it with other main characters' from different fandom, and becoming an AU fic for the different fandom. If you are using the character more than just their names, like applying their canon characteristics, mannerism, appearances... etc, that, I give credit. But a highly OOC + AU fic? Not so much. It wasn't so much as using characters sans powers, it was more like, having original characters but placed them with names of existing characters, then figuring it wouldn't work, so replaced them with different/original names. I'm sketchy with the details (FYI, I don't read either of them nor do I watch either of the film adaptations), but my best friend did inform me what the fuss was about when it all started. Basically, yes, it was originally posted as a Twilight AU fanfic, BUT, because it was so different and apparently offending to some of the fans, AND the author pretty much realized, like I stated, the story essentially could be completely unrelated to Twilight after all, so she took her fic down, and reworked it (namely on the names of characters) and FSoG was born. How it originated from a fan fic is a well-known fact, she didn't attempt to hide it and not give the source the credit, but in the end, Twilight is just where it originated from, not some official version of a piracy copy that bore 99% of similarities. The Lunar Chronicles apparently started of as Sailor Moon fan fics, but will people also give it a hard time? If they do, I can only say, they need to calm down a bit. If the author of Twilight herself didn't give a fig, I don't see why so-call fans need to get their knickers in a twist. This is just an unbiased opinion from someone that's neither a fan nor care about those two fandoms; I'm pretty sure if today a suddenly very popular series is revealed to originally be a HP AU fanfic, I will most def. react the same way. It's about time people have the balls to stop relying the names of existing characters for their actually-totally-original stories. I'm not saying you are one of those people, like I said, there's people who still respect canon and keep the characteristics as closely to source material, but then there's also people who go all abandonment and uncaring to create something basically new, in that case, I really don't understand why they call their works fanfics in the first place, much less see them as such! =] You don't have to agree with me at all! But that's my thought on the matter. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:17, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't know AU fic has a rep before you said so lol I just didn't understand the purpose of writing those and calling them fanfics when some of those moves didn't seem like what a respectful fan would do xP (again this is just towards "some" people) So GJ to you for trying to stay true to the source material!


 * Hmmmm... "romance novels"... Well... if it wasn't obvious... I don't "read" much to begin with, so no, romance novels def. wouldn't be my first pick if I had to pick to read at all. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested in seeing romantic aspects, in fact, that's kind of why I read fanfics lmao, cuz some ships just don't happen in canon bahahaha. But no, romance is NOT the only reason I read fanfic, just the dominant reason lol, but I also only read fics that balances out everything with a decent plot and all.

Re:Wiki related
I kinda cannot post them all to you because I do not have them all gather together. The worst part is I think all the places I check are editable therefore could be wrong: amazon, goodreads, alibris.com, abebooks.com, barnesandnoble.com (didn't even know they still existed, guess I got it confused with Borders and thought they both died lol)... sorry couldn't be more helpful. If you are also having problems (like I obviously am)... then I guess this is just another thing we can put aside to do later. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:17, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Paperbacks usually come out later, because they are cheaper... so... if they come out first or closely around the same time, some people may choose to save money rather than buying a easier-to-reserve-on-the-long-run hardcover edition, which is why you have to look for the hardcover to know the first publication dates. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 23:00, April 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there! Yes it is today! Sorry I was entranced into finishing an audiobook (gawd I can't believe people actually do CLIFFHANGERS in the end of actual NOVELS!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I chose to start/finish it when the next book is coming out this month, or I swear the wait would have killed me.) Anyways, this is the first time I'm changing user's right, I think I've done it right. BTW go check the admin page and see if I listed your timezone right, I'm never good at those.
 * -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:40, May 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there! Thanks for checking up the info! I've since updated and added both versions so we don't have to switch the information every time the time zone changes! (not sure why the other wiki I base on didn't think of this ahaha, so again, thank you!)


 * Here's a little change of scenery: User:Xxsammmsammmxx/Plans?; again, def. NOT top priority AT ALL, but just something to put in the back of our minds. To be blunt, having affiliates is really all about getting publicity, so I listed wikis with subjects that are at least relatable to ours (my standard is to not be completely random xP a pretty low standard imo)


 * If it wasn't clear enough, I really don't read all that much, so most of the stuff I've listed isn't because I personally like them, it's just cuz I know of them. The only books (or audiobooks) as of now I have actually delved in are The Lunar Chronicles (3 books), The Caster Chronicles (2 books + 1 novella), A Series of Unfortunate Events (1.5 books?), The Saga of Darren Shan (1 book... LOL I was too traumatized to continued lmao... had a fragile heart back then), Oz universe (1 book), and Wonderland universe (1 book).


 * The rest I mostly knew because of the film adaptations (or cuz my sister has read them; she unlike myself, actually reads =D) From this category I've only seen those film (and not necessarily liking them) The Golden Compass, Divergent (I do plan to see the sequel when it's not in theaters bahaha), The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and the two Percy Jackson films. So yeah, just to clarify once again they are not listed because I personally enjoyed the original source material/adaptations or anything.


 * I feel like you most definitely read way more comparing to myself, so if you think of any other series that is relatable to ours and has a wiki, feel free to edit on the page!


 * -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:38, May 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * lol did you at least click on the link I gave you? xP To my understanding, Funke's other books don't have separate wikis atm, but yes I think they're relatable, which is why Funke's wiki is the top priority regarding to affiliation. The founder pretty much said yes, but just continued to not put up their logo here, and since our new one's still in the making, I'm not pushing it too much. I also may politely request to import some of their pages later on, but right now I'm focusing on the two wikis we are merging with.


 * I understand with the importance of test. Good luck with the practice!


 * Will also talk to you about something else in the next section.


 * -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:41, May 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * BTW, whenever you don't feel like writing, please check out all the non-ittalic pages on this page; I think besides the replacement images, I'm done with the material that can be used from the wiki, but I want to be sure that I didn't miss anything. Just remember, there are indeed certain pages that are longer than ours and haven't been used; it is because they are using information directly taken from wikipedia, which is something we don't want. So other than those pages, let me know if there's still something we can use, or I can inform them to merge this one.

I suggest you actually click on the category to see the definition, do not confuse it with out-of-universe locations; this just means the articles are about places NOT IN THE INKWORLD.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:23, May 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what "not cutting it" means, but as for sandboxes... From my understanding, sandboxes are there for users who aren't familiar with editing so they can tryout without accidentally causing damage... Right now, there's simply no other editors around so I kinda don't see the need of them; you can just directly insert the info onto the actual article. However, I also think sandboxes are used on high traffic pages, so if you really want to do it, you can create ones for Dustfinger‏‎, Meggie Folchart‏‎, and Mortimer Folchart‏‎; those are the only ones that had more than 80 revisions.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:37, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry if I gave that kind of impression; I mean, I really do trust you! But if it's like unfinished edits (sometimes there's just too much stuff to finish the whole thing at one go!), then it will be better to draft it on a user page or, like you suggested, the sandbox page. I do think you can go ahead and create sandboxes for Meggie and Dustfinger; they both have more than 100 revisions, but Mo's can wait for a bit.


 * Again, no problem with the schedule; family comes first! =D As for questions about Japanese... I mean, IF I happen to know the answer, I will help you of course! But I'm not exactly an expert or anything lol If it's something like their language, I almost really can't help you much with it Orz. But yeah, feel free to ask! Perhaps creating another user page for it so it's not taking space on our talk pages.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:44, May 8, 2015 (UTC)

Semi-reminder/RE:Another Absence
Because you did mistaken the last one as my signature, I'm putting this up here again in case you also missed it xP User:Xxsammmsammmxx/Plans?. Also don't forget about checking the pages on the other wiki! =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 03:48, May 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * As for what page I was referring to, it was Elinor's house; this particular reversion: http://inkheart.wikia.com/wiki/Elinor%27s_house?diff=prev&oldid=6728. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 14:25, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah... I remember going through the phase with the over apologizing (I think I later realized it was actually sort of like a catchphrase, and the phrase happened to be "sorry" at one point; it drove all of my friends crazy and I didn't even notice the word just kept slip off my tongue lmao) It's nice for you to check-in and let me know what's going on, and that's all that matters! =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 14:50, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * OBTW, your chapter 8 summary actually brings up something I thought I should hold off until you have time lmao... Um, do you anticipate on quoting a lot of dialogs in the future? I realized how many variations there are to the dialog template, but I'm just not sure to what extend this wiki really needs, like, do you think the simple a-b, a-b-a, a-b-a-b, are enough (or too much?) (convo between two people), or do you think we may need something like a-b-c, a-b-a-c, etc.? @@ I'm obviously going to import them from other places since someone else actually made it, might as well use it, but if I'm going to do that, I'd also like to import them all at one go. It's a question you can think about, don't worry about getting back to me any time soon, just when you have an answer.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:12, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's the thing, I'm not exactly sure what floats my boat o__O" As much as I love the trilogy, I'm not at the level where I can recount the dialogs; I just remember what happens... So like I said, I really don't remember therefore couldn't be sure to what extend we needed... I know there's def. three-way convo happening around with Meggie/Mo/Elinor, Meggie/Mo/Dustfinger, Meggie/Elinor/Dustfinger... but are they quote-worthy? Really don't know. The whole thing that got me started was because I want to change our deleted pages (if those ever happen again!) to something like: http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Moveddeleted-notice, I want to use the convo between Firefox and the Adderhead when the former's name was about to be crossed out. I'll need to reread what the dialog really is... cuz I'm not sure if other people talked.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 17:26, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Slightly off-topic but no biggie. I saw that you've updated your profile, I'm not sure if you know about this (I sure as H*ll (not sure if this word is considered a swear word to you) didn't), but if in the future you feel like you might be c&ping the same stuff or very similar stuff to your profiles on different wikis (say, The Lunar Chronicles Wiki), you can simply create a user template at Community Central. Mine is this: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Template:User:Xxsammmsammmxx and the code would be W:User:Xxsammmsammmxx (though the link doesn't work here, the template does), and you can just add the stuff specifically for certain wikis (like your admin status) before placing the template. It's not a must, but I thought it was pretty neat so I should share it xP. I only learned it cuz the wiki I was on doesn't allow gif, and I kinda really wanted to place that one (the first one I made with subs lmao), so the admin there thought me how to sorta cheat around :3 -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:01, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I see, but when you reread chapters for summaries, can you also take extra notice if there's a few interesting three-or-more ppl-invovled convo? I mean, you don't have to physically document it or anything, just that, if there's like perhaps more than five, then let me know, is that okay?


 * Yeah... I think the biggest benefit of the user template (besides getting to place gifs lol), is that, if I have profiles on multiple places and I thought of updating something, I don't need to go to every single one of them to do it xDDDDD


 * Thanks for letting me know how you feel about the word xP. For me it's a name of a place, a kinda really effing awful place, but still a name of a place, though I'm aware of how it is seen as a swear... most of the time? lol. Anyways. I do try to not swear though, for myself =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 19:04, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * BTW, I just turned on my daily report for this wiki... can you believe it says 649 people viewed this wiki? I honestly thought it's just us lmao.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:18, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Create a user page for good main page example and lit them there. AS for what I want you to do.... Is simply just go over them and see IF there's anything I missed, if there's not, then great, if there's is, TELL me which pages and what part. Don't manually c&p, using export, we can choose to export the entire page history, and that is what we want. Again, if it's pages that contains more content but taken directly from wikipedia, don't count them.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:32, May 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Please be VERY CAREFUL on how you name the page! This is at least the second time you named it wrong and actually making it an article page rather than user page! I don't know when the system's able to catch up, but right now it's saying we have an extra article page, which is false. Please don't let this happen ever again.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:04, May 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * I changed them because that's the only way to name a user page, User:YOURUSERNAME, not User(blank space)YOURUSERNAME; otherwise you are just creating an article named "User(blank space)YOURUSERNAME".-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 03:24, May 12, 2015 (UTC)

Need your opinion/Re:Background

 * Also updated on the other post; hope it doesn't upset you; I mean, I could be wrong and for some miraculous reason the brothers also came up with a story exactly titled as "The Little Mermaid"; I'm not saying it's completely impossible, I am however saying, for high profile fairy tale authors, it seems rather unlikely that they would also have a version of this story and it wasn't officially documented with credible citations other than what's on the Net.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:05, May 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey KR! I made two templates for discussions on user pages, since we sometimes reply to different sections in a single edit, they are updated and viewed. Just place them after the section title when the status changed. Viewed just means it's been read but there's nothing to add or comment atm, so the no respond isn't because it's been accidentally skipped.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:38, May 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Quick update, I tweaked it to have just one template: s, if you type s|u between the template code, it shows the updated text, and s|v shows the viewed text.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:52, May 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi KR! Hope all is well! Kinda miss you xoxo (this is not to pressure you to come back and edit, it's just that I generally see you as a friend and miss talking to you on the Net). A few things, I've added two templates Spoiler and Cleanup for future article use, feel free to brainstorm on their talk pages! I'm pretty sure there's other usable quotes! I also did sort of major updates on Inkheart (film) (the list section) and Tales From the Thousand and One Nights. I'm NOT setting the latter as an example of how we should do it for all the article pages, BUT, I'm thinking we can use it on those referenced book pages, the ones that do exist in our world but also have in-universe appearances; like, I'm hoping those articles can be the exception of have both in-universe and out-of-universe povs. Treasure Island most def. deserves a page, was wondering if you'd like to do the honor? =D Cuz I don't think you've created a page besides user page yet!


 * Also, since I don't read and you do (lol), do you know about this? http://tlos-huggers.wikia.com/wiki/The_Land_Of_Stories_Wiki I mean... I'm currently not sure how I feel about it... like I'm guessing "falling into a fairy tale/story" probably isn't too original, but when glancing over, it really reminds me of Inkheart. Have you read it and if so is it any good? Frankly I'm just amazed that the wiki was only founded earlier this year and already has 200+ pages... Of course I didn't go check if all of them are solid content, but still, it's impressive.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:16, May 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, um yeah I guess if you did reply to a section, and the section previously is marked "updated", then keep it as such because your new reply again updated it; however, if it is mark "updated" and you've read it and have nothing to add, change it to "viewed" so that I know you've read it. Like right now I'm not sure if the TLM section is missed or if you did read it but just didn't feel the need to comment.


 * For the templates I'll prob discuss them with you on their talk pages. Just checking, so you are fine with how the page Tales From the Thousand and One Nights looks like right now?


 * Yeah... I thought about affiliates, too. But the thing is, I have no idea how to broach the subject without sounding insulting! I'm like the worst ambassador ever! I think that's what set the wrong foot with the Caster Chronicles one lol. Like, how do I go about "Hey, no, I've never read or heard of this series, but it sounded very similar like this one trilogy, would you like to affiliate with us?" (I'm making it more obviously crass here) but yeah, I think if reading it the wrong way it may look like I'm accusing the series as some sort of copycat Orz. Really need your help on polishing words!!


 * Has it been a month already? Dang time flies! Looking forward to hearing your report!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:35, May 18, 2015 (UTC)

MPSP/RE:Non Wiki Related
Hey there! I was actually in the middle of writing to you but was held up in another conversation and you replied, I wrote: "Besides what I wrote above (which I think I will remove once you've read it)!~", so true to my intention, now that I know you've read it, I'm removing the previous comment. I'll get to what the original reply is about after I reply what you just wrote lol (hope that's not too confusing) Hey... um.... I'm sorry about the whole thing... I think maybe I am the one TOO overly self-conscious about this wiki, and that's probably the real issue here; perhaps my mind just automatically look into stuff that really wasn't there to begin with.... I'm sorry if my paranoia has caused you some unpleasant feeling >"< I wasn't asking you to change or remove the comment, I guess I should have made it even clearer by saying "I think, if there is a next time, maybe don't such and such", but yeah... It was just my opinion, and it seriously could be flawed, like I read what you wrote and stepped back a bit, and I feel like I could just be overreacting with the entire situation... So, really, I'm sorry about this. Dx (I'm probably just a somewhat negative person... I read your comment and I know it is to express the regret that you couldn't spend more time there, but my mind played tricks on me and linked this wiki as the reason. I'm obviously not everyone, which is why I said "some people" may read it the wrong way)

Um... now that we know it's mostly my problem, I hope we are cool? Forgive me for my stupidity! Back to what I was originally going to write to you about (can be seen above)-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:36, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Seriously, I'm feeling like a complete moron right now, and I really want you to know I was and am in no way trying to stop you from expressing gratitude to the lovely Ohmystars, I'm sorry if my post came across like a total b*tch-move Orz (the "maybe next time..." I guess made a bigger difference than I thought it would) I have no idea how to explain what exactly it is that I felt iffy, cuz I have in fact (I think I've told you about this) directly told Ohmystars I'm declining to be an admin there because of my own wiki (I don't even remember if I did namedrop it; I can check, but I don't think that's the point), so I realize it wasn't really about "can't and shouldn't mention about this wiki" it was... more about the timing and place it was mentioned... Like I said (repeatedly, cuz girl I really am) I'm sorry about the whole thing.... GAWED please, please just look at this and see this as some temporary insanity? I'm like super embarrassed right now.... -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:56, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh okay glad we're good, I was seriously thinking I just pissed off my only other admin lol For advertising discussion, maybe you can talk about it on the Plans? page I gave you earlier =D -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 03:15, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

LOL it'll be kinda hard to not have heard of it, since it was advertised whenever there was a chance to do so for an entire month xP Like how it is with The 100 this month =] I thought the book cover is eye-catching, but that was about it, I don't think I even read what it is about for some reason lmao. Thanks for the warning though xP But just so you know... I know this is not something to be proud of, but I'm not going to lie, cuz hey, I just don't have enough money to treat it like toilet paper lol. The only audiobooks I've ever physically owned aka rightfully purchased, was the HP series. The rest? You can probably tell why I always use the phrase "get my hands on" instead of outright saying just how I got them. I mean, this is kind of a practical process, I just wouldn't want to spend money on something I might end up absolutely hating; I had to make sure it's worth it first before I eventually buy the product. I apply this with my mangas, and I'm sure as heck glad I restricted myself for not giving into temptation of buying a series that hasn't ended; I was so close to buying D.Gray-man around up to Vol. 9-12 I think, and I'm sure as effing glad I DID NOT, cuz the series went to complete crap imo, just saying xP.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 17:42, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not sure what you mean about "you don't have to buy them all together, you can give a trial run with the first copy and see if you like it." Is this an American thing? Cuz I don't read manga in English bahahaha, and honestly manga is just like any type of storytelling media, one volume can be good but it doesn't guarantee the next will still be good, VISE VERSA; so just cuz the first one isn't good, doesn't necessarily mean the rest is all gonna be crap. I more of a "set" kind of person, I like to own a complete set of things; so in the past, most of the time I have been lucky, I started buying a series from the beginning, and it was good till the very end, and I completed the set when the manga ended. But I've also been unlucky before, so after a few experiences, I set up that rule to myself, only buy a whole set when the series is finished. I am aware this is another one of my idiosyncrasies xP. If you're into superhero, or superhero-ish stuff, manga actually isn't all that different, they just don't blatantly categorized them as such xP. This is probably going to sound super stereotypical, cuz what I am about to recommend, for those who don't like it the series is probably just "overrated"; however, I truly think it stayed popular for so long for a solid reason, because it IS JUST THAT GOOD lmao. Okay judge me all you want, I was talking about Naruto lmao. I actually haven't finished it cuz at one point I caught up and had to go with this tiresome waiting for the next issue, and also thought it was going to be like one of those things where the author just kept it going cuz it makes them money; now that it's completed I know the author does indeed have the balls to end something for lesser willed people could have pro-longed forever. It really is ninja = superhero LOL. Anyways, if you don't like it, that's alright, but I do ahahah. Another one is shojo, this one I actually own a set because it is affordable ahahahaha. I do think the art style got worse after a while, but the story to me is surprisingly still good. Anime kinda suck, do not judge the manga by its anime counterpart lol. Gakuen Alice, there was some serious LMAO moments!


 * As for actually reading comics, yeah go for it! I have to be honest, it still feel fairly different when actually reading the comics than reading what's on the wiki, cuz plainly there's just too many issues and once you've read them, you'll actually find the wiki really outdated lmao. You know this already, I haven't read any DC stuff so I can't give out any recommendations, but for X-Men, you know where my profile is lmao.


 * I'm not exactly sure what kind of "thread", but if its like a conversation happening between say A and B and you want to add to what A wrote to B on B's talk page, it's totally fine; it'll just be trickier for B to decide where s/he's going to reply, perhaps separately, to A's and your talk pages, or underneath, though it'll probably be good if someone notify A where the post is at. I think that's like the only real downside of the talk page comparing to comments =/ -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:39, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Manga actually is sold quite differently than how comics are; what a "volume" is to a manga, is what a "collected edition" to comics; comics are first released issue by issue, correct? While it is the same for manga, each issue of a manga is NOT sold individually, like you cannot buy a physically printed #1 of Naruto and only of Naruto, but it is ongoing on a manga magazine along with multiple other mangas, those magazines can range from publishing weekly, by-weekly, monthly, and by-monthy (the majority ones anyways) so that's another way of supporting mangas without buying the volumes, and you get to read them firsthand after the new chapter is released. I use to do that back at home, but after I came to the States it's a bit hard to do that cuz I'll have to keep on asking my sister do it for me (she never did lmao), and I figured that's just something I had to sacrifice hahaha. Oh, I don't think I got into Naruto right away either hahaha... it was what happened later on.... to me = so dang emotional xP Naruto's anime is actually pretty good and is still good, they can't afford to mock up something so popular. Gakuen Alice on the other hand... I hate the company responsible for it lmao. I mean, okay it actually wasn't completely horrible; like if you exclude the fact that the art style is bad, most of it, story wise is actually decent; however, they completely effed up the ending (it wasn't actually the ending, the manga was still ongoing at the time, they made it up) and ruin the whole thing xP.


 * BTW, I haven't read your edit on Doria word-to-word, but you'll need to fix it; you've just made it again written in Out of universe style, something I tried to fix and something to avoid on character article pages. "was a character introduced in Inkdeath." NO. Reference it.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 23:58, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * KR, are you writing any of the recent edits yourself? Or are they from one of the wiki we are merging with? If it is the later, either tell me what articles you find useful so I can export then import them, or, rename the articles on the wiki so that they don't clash with our existing ones, and export/import them yourselves. If you copy and paste, we cannot track down who did the original edit, and it kinda go against the whole, "we are merging with this wiki" if the editors from there don't get their share.


 * As for comics and manga, yeah they are pretty different on how they are sold but that's like the only major difference lmao. I was actually quite annoyed with how it is with comics in the beginning LOL.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:18, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Usable content/Edit history/Headings

 * Yeah.... that was pretty much what I told you from the beginning: you don't need to actually edit, JUST VIEW those pages and TELL ME if you see anything usable that I missed. This is the import log so far; Castle in the Lake IS actually from the other wiki. Sometimes it's good to also check the editing history. Basta's page is not imported because of the template on the bottom; the editor didn't do it themselves, it's apparently from wikipedia. If you can tweak it so that it's not a direct copy, it's fine with keeping it there at the mean time. Nettle's page.... honestly didn't think was any good, because I sure as heck don't see Nettle and Roxane as friends, more like associates that are okay with each other. But yes, if you want to make a list, like there's actually a list (I did not factor that), feel free to do so. But like I said in the beginning, IF it's directly from wikipedia, then it's okay to let it slide (don't list it to me) and you are free to utilize what you think is need to our counterpart articles.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:38, May 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * LOL yeah, that's why I was like, before thinking about logo, background, main page... remember to just go look through those pages xP I think perhaps next time, read what I wrote more carefully, cuz I said it multiple times with almost the exact same wording as I did on the previous post. Nettle's the woman who later treated Mo when he almost died I THINK; okay, now I'm actually not sure and I feel a bit racist, perhaps that was some Moss Woman. But anyways, she was the woman who Roxane learned her herb stuff from, and she wasn't practically nice to Dustfinger at all. I guess some people would see this as friendship like she was berating Dustfinger for leaving Roxane for so long? I just saw it as her being mean in general hahaha. We can leave it like that. I'll have to revisit the book as well.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:53, May 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Haha, the racist thing is actually from the book. It's actually not about racist against Moss Woman (I'm not sure if there's Moss man in the universe) but like, I know at one point, either Meggie or Resa (I think it's Resa) was like "a Moss woman helped us a while back, is it you?" and then the Moss woman she was talking to was like "what? just because we are Moss women so you think we are all the same? If I had treated a human, then how would I be able to tell if it was the same human you are talking about, since you are all human and ALL THE SAME", something like that lmao. Obviously this is the right the top off my head and is no way as elegant as how it was actually written, but basically it's like if you saw an Asian girl who happens to be on Wikia and you asked them "hey! I know an Asian girl on wikia!! Are you her?" hahaha. Anyways, the reason I was feeling a bit like that, was because I know Nettle was said or confused to be a Moss woman, and now I'm like generalizing it like "she's the one who treated Mo, oh wait, maybe that's another Moss Woman, my bad, they are all so similar and all." =P hope that makes sense.


 * Don't over think it. I mean, girl, I type super slow; I would never type something when I don't mean it. If you are not sure what I meant, let me know and I will just try harder to explain it, but I will not intentionally ask you to do one thing while actually wanting you to do another. I feel like summarizing the fist book alone is a huge task already, AND I also asked you to list character and book appearances, I really think you already have a great deal on your plate; I would not have asked you to do something even other than confirmation (like checking publishing date, checking if I missed out anything). However, if you do feel like you can handle more, also feel free to let me know, although I kinda can't think of anything else more in need of fixing than the book pages lol. I will continue to ask for your opinion whenever I'm not sure of something.


 * I will keep The Castle of Night in mind; Rosenquartz IS imported, again check the log and edit history. Paula, I'm having doubts; when you get to the part (ch. 24 I believe) let me know if the info is accurate, cuz I honestly don't remember the mother being mentioned so I was a bit skeptical xP.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:50, May 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Also... my grandma is visiting coming all the way from another continent and she's only staying for a few weeks; my sister and I will be staying with her and our relatives for 5 days, starting from 3PM Saturday PDT time; I WILL bring my laptop, but I'm afraid it'll be rude to spend the time I usually spend (which is a lot) to communicate here when I'm with my family. Just want to let you know this in advance (a day before, haha), in case you wonder why I suddenly am not active.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:23, May 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey KR! Hope you had a nice out of town trip! =D Hope all is well? Also, with June coming close, I hope you can start resume working on the summaries and hopefully can get to around ch. 20 (approximately 1/3 of the book) by mid-June, as we are supposedly having a Book Cooks blog around that time. I think I've said it before, I really have no idea if the blog will bring new viewers or not, but if it does, I just hope they'd be able to see something that looks like it's been worked on for quite some time, rather than it's just been started to get worked on; if that makes any sense (I myself will concentrate on the film page). There's other topics to chitchat ahaha, I'll be updating the fairy tale post after this one, be sure to go check them when you have time! xoxo -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:16, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Just a Hi!
Hi Katherine! Thanks for leaving a message in my talk page. Yes, now and then I would drop by in other wikis and lend a hand in whatever I can. I still haven't had the chance to read the Inkheart books nor watch the film, so for now my edits are mainly unrelated to the content of the articles... I do want to read the books and watch the film though, but I like to finish one book first before I start another. I'm currently reading Water for Elephants, and after I finish it I plan to catch up with some sequels to series I started before. So I cannot immediately start on Inkheart. What about you? When did you read the books and/or watch the film? -- Ohmystars (talk) 10:01, May 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think Water for Elephants is OK so far. It isn't very special at the moment, so I'm a bit clueless why it was such a hype, how it won multiple awards and got a movie adaptation. Maybe my opinion will change later on. I haven't read Red Queen, nor Dune. Since we both like The Lunar Chronicles, I think our taste are kinda the same in that aspect. So if you don't really like Red Queen, I don't think I'll give the book a try.


 * Yes, sometimes when I read/watch back the things I loved as a child, I would find it all suddenly very childish. Of course I'll still read the Inkheart trilogy, but I'll try to lower my expectation a bit then. And if I like the books, I'll definitely give The Reckless series a try. :)


 * If you have questions about admin things, feel free to ask me! I would love to help out however I can. -- Ohmystars (talk) 12:33, May 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * From your description it sounds like Red Queen is another dystopian YA-novel, right? I haven't read too many of them, but I did read all books from The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Chemical Garden, Delirium. And from The Selection I only read the first two (still have to catch up). What about you? Do you like the dystopian genre? As for The Lunar Chronicles, I wouldn't consider it dystopian. I would say it's either post-apocalyptic (World War 4 as the big apocalypse, and this story is about the life after this apocalypse) or apocalyptic (if we consider the whole letumosis plague killing Earthens and/or the invasion of Lunars as the big apocalypse coming soon).
 * Hmm... It doesn't sound promising that the characters are not well rounded enough. The development of characters are important to me, so now I won't have high expectations for it. I haven't read any adult SCI-FI books, so I'm curious as to what you think of Dune. Keep me up to date of what your thoughts of it are. -- Ohmystars (talk) 07:12, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

Other stuff
I'm a bit ashamed cuz I've been marathoning OUaT lmao and massively marking for deletion on the Oz Wiki; now that's taken care of (for today's schedule lol) I'm back here viewing what can be improved. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 23:04, June 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Awwww I'm sorry to hear that you woke up sick!! Hope you will get well soon! Have a nice rest, and if you don't feel like reading, perhaps re-watching the Inkheart film can be a nice pastime or maybe this is a good time to give the audiobook a chance hahaha. Just an option xP. I don't mind Lynn Redgrave with the first book; it was decent, but I have to say, Brendan Fraser's job on the second book is unbeatable imo hahaha.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:11, June 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey KR, um just for future reference, next time, if you know you will be revisiting a page, FOLLOW it even if you haven't done anything to it yet. THEN, it can be found on pages you follow on your user page, or your watchlist, in our wiki's case the "Reader's Collection", should be on the bottom bar if you have it there. Or you can simply use command F/ctrl. F (depending on whether you use Mac/PC) on your talk page and search for "Plans?", I've just checked, it's still there so I'm hoping I'm teaching you to fish and letting you do it yourself instead of giving the link again to you.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:19, June 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * I removed our convo about specific subjects to the fairy tale page.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 04:50, June 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay glad to hear everything is alright! I did think your laptop probably got confiscated after panicking for a split second that you were kidnapped or something lol


 * Do what you think it suits you best! =D I support you!


 * When you do have to time though... Can you check if Mo has ever been referred as "Mo Folchart‎"? It was a redirect I got rid of before, but our former admin MakeShift added it back earlier and it makes me wonder if he was actually called that before.... Cuz I seriously thought he either introduces himself as "Mortimer Folchart‎‎", or being called "Mo"; didn't think he ever used the combination of "Mo Folchart‎", but I could be wrong, so if you have time can you pay extra attention when you decide to reread? Let me know if it ever comes up, meanwhile I guess the redirect can stay cuz it's not really hurting anyone lol


 * I have read what you've written on the user pages, will get back to you soon! =D xoxo -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:13, June 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * The reason I deleted the redirect the first time round, is that even if people didn't know Mo's full name; Mo is an active and usable redirect, but I guess I was a bit wrong cuz I thought if try typing  [[Mo , Mortimer Folchart will automatically show up; apparently it has to have four letters when suggestions start showing up, like it takes  [[Megg  for Meggie Folchart to show up. So I guess if people didn't know who to spell Mortimer (very possible lmao), in this case the redirect is now considered okay! Thanks for bringing it up to prompt me trying out!


 * Updated the fairytale page! -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:46, June 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * I did say "I have read what you've written on the user pages, will get back to you soon!" Apparently not soon enough =P I had been in the middle of writing to your stuff on Plans? when my sister called, and then my building's pest control came for the monthly checks; I have NOT missed or forgotten about the post, just that you know me, I take a long time to actually finish my replies; I only mentioned the fairytale ones because it was done while my reply on your post wasn't; now that it is, feel free to check it! =] (and I'm NOT saying that you are indicating that I'm forgetting about it, it's just a reminder that I really take an effing long time to reply to stuff and when you got updates on something else but not a pending post, it's probably cuz it's still in the making but the other is finished first)


 * Also read and replied your fairytale post; however, the TLM section, that one I did not get a respond from you so I'm not sure if you've read it or you're still writing a reply for it.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 23:38, June 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Certain content moved to User:Xxsammmsammmxx/Plans?

Logo
Did you ever read our actual policy? Please go read it again, because although there's improvement that at least this time it wasn't some screen shot title, you are still naming it wrong. Please learn something from the past; did you ever go check what I've "helped" you renamed the files the first few rounds? Learn from how it should have been done by browsing Special:NewFiles. I'm not angry or upset, because this time I can tell you are making an effort; but please take note of what's been done and what's acceptable.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:46, June 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ummmm... KR, I'll be honest; my English is alright but sometimes there's still idioms and phrases I don't understand; in this case, I really don't get what you mean by "Can I ask (respectfully) to wash my hands clean of the logo? "... Like... what exactly are you asking me? Are you asking me if you can step down from making the 100x50 logo? (this is the only question I can think of) If so, then, yeah, of course you can! Like I said, the logo thing was so far down on my list; wasn't going to task anyone to do it when there's so many other things to do; you came to me about it, and if you don't feel like doing it anymore, it's obviously fine because you were never obliged to do it! But thanks for letting me know!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:44, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Other discussion
Thanks for giving the heads up! I won't be paranoid with ridiculous thoughts like kidnaping this time! >:3 -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 15:52, June 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * On a different note, I've modified stub; like for spoiler and cleanup, if you have any other suitable quotes, feel free to share it on its talk page!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 22:25, June 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * First thing first xD I hope it's alright that I retrieved the first few section regarding to the logo, as I felt that those are legit question and answers and were not really related to our other discussion; I've edited out the caps and switched to italics since you let me know the caps made it feel like indications of yelling (have never thought about it that way myself lol I've always pictured it as saying it slowly and emphasizing every letter in the word, rather than being vocally loud xP ) But if it still doesn't sit well with you, then one of us can remove it again; I just thought my last reply on that subject was probably the main removal target and not the whole thing, but again I could be wrong.


 * I've removed the TLM talk from both of our talk pages to the fairytale page and both TLM and PP sections are updated!


 * I did think about the forum function, but after a great inner debate, as of now I think we should just utilize everything we have at the moment; we do have the old-school forum → Forum:Index, I've never accessed it before but I think if using it correctly it can still do the job → Help:Wiki-style forums (the HPW surprisingly is also using this type of forum). The problem with the newer forum is that like the comment function, it is just a little bit too easy to access and sometimes people will get off track very easily. Not that we have any other people around, but I honestly do fear if the function is enabled, one of us is going to moderate the content, and I don't know about you, but I know I really don't have the time to do the moderating work. What I like about the old-school forum is that it supposedly function exactly like how we edit our regular article pages or user/user talk pages. That's not something the new one can do. Hope you are okay with it for now? I mean, if one day we actually have 10+ people on this wiki (that's not even a high bar of goal lmao), I promise I'll rethink about it; but as of now I really think this will do! :3 -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:06, June 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well... If we get technical... there's in fact more than two people hahaha xDD Such a pleasant surprise that MakeShift decided to drop by and help doing some edits! And just the other day an unregistered user left a message on Mo's son's talk page; it's really a great improvement xDDD imo. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:00, June 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, KR it's finally done! I've removed some of our conversations to other places when there is in fact other places more suitable to discuss them! xD There's Template talk:CSA‎ and Talk:Inkheart (film)‎; if you ever want to continue those convo, do it there! xP I've also posted a new question to User talk:Katherine Rebekah/Character navigation by appearances - Inkheart‎ (now relocated to Forum:Character navigation by appearances - Inkheart), check it out when you have the time! And then the biggest changes are in User:Xxsammmsammmxx/Plans?‎‎, this one actually have new contents; I've labeled the updated part so make sure to go through them and should you have nothing to add, switched it to being viewed. Lastly, idk if you'd have the need to use it, but I've imported done from community central, figured I'd let you know in case you do need it xDDD -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 02:09, June 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there! I've replied to the Plan page! Also Template talk:Cleanup‎, be sure to check it out! Read your reply on the appearances navi thing, noted!


 * I will be visiting my grandma later today and up till Sunday cuz she's going back home that day; I will have my laptop, just won't be doing massive edits. Letting you know! :3 -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:13, June 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey KR, sorry for the constant editing on your talk page! This should be the last one for a while! I've remove the stuff to the fairy* tale page; I know it may also fit to be at other places; but because all the list I've scouted were of that genre, figured it should still be there instead. Updated a few other places! It's in the new section close to the top!-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:17, June 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Will reply to you about stuff later (late afternoon pdt time). But first thing, for the main page, the film and the books get different sections, do not try to change that; end of story.-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 17:50, June 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey KR! You never changed the labels or reply to the Plans page, so I do not know if you ever got my latest reply on those topics; please make sure you did read everything (like the stuff about Goodreads) and the planned upcoming events.


 * Have fun with the field trips! I'm picturing an adorable scene in my brain xDD


 * Some wiki updates: I've added the two other of your suggestions to cleanup so now there's 4 options on random display =] -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 20:44, June 13, 2015 (UTC)
