User talk:C886553

Welcome to my Talk Page! If there is anything you need, just ask away. 01:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to come back to this wiki just because you tell me to, and because I'm active on others. If I ever am interested to become active on this wiki once more, I'll do so. Also, making snide comments about the lack of activity of admins here is not a smart move. I suggest you refrain from doing so in the future. - Joe   (talk) 03:42, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Interesting semi-smartass response. But let's be honest here. Do you plan on staying active on this wiki for the rest of your life? Have you stayed active on every wiki you've ever been on? I don't think so. Like I said, you can't force me to come back just because it annoys you that I'm not here. Just don't screw this wiki up too much, like scaring away new users with your weird templates and comments that have nothing to do with Age of Eepires. Thanks much. - Joe   (talk) 16:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol: "Hi there and welcome to AoE Wiki! Other users are beginning to doubt your existence, as seen in the Template page. If your existence in time continuum continues on for a time period of more than 162.5 nanoseconds, then the existing universe will subsequently implode due to the paradox that two theoretically oppositional resources cannot co-exist in a finite universe. Yikes. Thank you!" Yeah, this quote has everything to do with starwars...=P It's funny that you think I'm giving you disrespect, when 1) you're the one that's doing it, saying that we inactive admins don't think new users exist, and 2) I'm just looking out for the wiki's best interests, trying to prevent comments like the one above from spreading to every new user's talk page. Anyway, I'm not going to respond your next message, because this is getting ridiculous. I'm not coming back for a while, and that's that. Deal with it. - Joe   (talk) 16:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello from an occasional editor
Thanks for the enquiry, AJ, and for your contributions - your most recent 200 look as if you're a great asset to this wiki.

I've never played AoE, so my contributions have never been about content. w:c:civilization is my game. You may get some ideas for improvements here by looking at its structure. And w:c:starter has lots of new useful pages (particularly templates) since this wiki was started.

Feel free to ask about specific matters related to pages I have edited.

Hi
Hi, where can I be used most effectively? I might be able to contribute a little.--Jonru 08:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * P.s. what is the procedure for Age of Mythology stuff. Is it being included or removed. It's not really part of the AoE universe as such and there is (was?) another wiki for it elsewhere.--Jonru 08:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok then, i'll see what I can do for this place.--Jonru 11:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Strategies
Hmm, good question. As a visitor I would be more likely to search for strategies rather than units perhaps, but perhaps not. Hows about a compromise? Keep basic unit related stuff in the unit page (ie good/bad against units, general tactics) and have other pages for grander tactics, such as combined forces and effective rush strategies? Hows that?

PS I see what you mean about the AoE2 unit articles, a little bit of a mess there lol.--Jonru 15:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Multiple units with the same name
What are we doing about articles which include more than one unit (for example Pikeman)? Sometimes there is more than one article (eg Pikeman (Age of Empires II)/Pikeman (Age of Empires III)) and sometimes just one article (Pikeman). I think, for clarity, separate pages should be made to distinguish them. Also this allows for the use of more than one unit template without making the article huge.--Jonru 16:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, a 'dismbiguation' page, e.g. Pikeman would become a small article with links to the various Pikemen articles.--Jonru 16:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * PS are we doing Pikeman (Age of Empires II) or Pikeman (AoEII), I think it looks better as Age of Empires II and i've seen some like that already. Also do we have a to-do list other than 'everything'?--Jonru 16:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
