XP-18 Sisterboards
Just a brief clarification. Clank runs on XP-18 sisterboards, not XP-88. Just replay Ratchet & Clank and talk to Big Al to find the proof. "Say, do you run on standard-size XP-18 sisterboards?" "Version 7.66." (Al talking to Clank)--DanJohnsonrules 12:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Sorry for the late reply, my computer was broken. --HK22 (talk) 05:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Ratchet & Clank wiki:IRC meetings/Summary 6 June 2009 - I've updated, there are two things I haven't done, you said you'd do one of them and maybe you could do the other for me? They're in bold. I haven't actually completed all tasks but I've added them to the to-do list etc. Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 18:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've started on the skill point articles just now (just letting you know). Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 19:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, me and SG1 reached it last night, we updated everything as well. Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 20:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you sorted the two out yet? Just a reminder that's all. Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 11:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Official websites
Guess what I found - http://www.acehardlight.com/ It seems you missed one. :) Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:32, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, could you come on the IRC for a few minutes? Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 19:51, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Pagetitles
Hey HiQu, I saw you reverted my edits to MediaWiki:Pagetitle and MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage. The reason I edited them was to improve the wiki's search engine rank in Google by using popular keywords being use in Google. Having those keywords in the pagetitle will make the Ratchet & Clank wiki be #1 or close to it when searching Ratchet & Clank-related terms in Google. So it would be nice if the pagetitles had those keywords in them, but if not, then thats alright too, but you'll be losing out on traffic and potential active contributors.--Richardtalk 17:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Nanotech!
I could do with a hand, could you improve Nanotech in any way you feel necessary. What I really need help with is the SAC section. I don't know the game very well and have no information about it. I just need a brief summary of nanotech in the game, like the Size Matters section. Just make it as detailed as you can. Thanks, Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 12:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, do you have any ideas on what to name and write about in an article on the Smuggler's parrot thing? I have a good image for it... Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:06, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you also expand the Going Mobile section? Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, it's non-canon so we don't need a section on Going Mobile. Why is GM non-canon? Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's canon... In that case we also need a section on GM in Nanotech article. Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 16:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Nm, I see you've already added it. I've added GM to the appearances section as well, it comes after Going Commando and before UYA right? Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 17:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * So we don;t know where it fits in? But we're putting after GC for now, right? Can you add this to the IRC meeting agenda for me, I have to go right now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 17:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I've got 10 mins so I'll do that now. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[Image:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 17:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Link request
Hi, I'm TOY_ROBOT. I'm a user here and make some edits on this site every once in a while. I was wondering if my recently created Ratchet fan site, Starship Phoenix, could have permission to post a link to this site or to state this site as a friend.

Our URL is: http://starshipphoenix.ucoz.com/

Thanks for taking the time. :)


 * It is not a "personal attack" I don't care if you're an admin, you need to improve the quality of your edits, your photos are in extremely poor quality, and some of the pages you do are just one sentence.

Oh excellent, I'm being threatened by a ten-year old. No it's not better than nothing, a lot of your articles have been copied from the official websites. Yes I know what I am talking about because I've read the exact same text that has been copypasted into some of the articles with no editing done to it whatsoever. And I am in fact going to prove I'm right because I am working on a separate project to improve this wiki.

I'm in the IRC now if you're around. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 15:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Chameleon armor
I read about the armours of Size Matters the chameleon armour. The gloves are on medical outpost omega, the 2nd time in challenge mode. But this is meaning the intact medical outpost (before ratchet destroyed this) or can be after too?

Revert
This reversion, am I right in thinking HG-88 added the template after and image was added to the page? <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:14, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm, I'll have to have a look at that. If you revert any of his edits in the future would you mind letting me know? I usually only sample some of his edits to check they're ok, after testing that is, so it'd be good to know if something's wrong. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 16:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

As an administrator it'd be good if you could look at all of the forms listed here and comment where needed. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 10:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's ok. We've replaced it as you've seen. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 18:20, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Awards
Sounds like an interesting idea. Have you made a forum for them and added them to the IRC meeting forum? The one that replaced IRC meetings for now... If not then I think you should do that when you return. Sorry for the late reply. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

You know the megacorp scientist who says "This update is strictly classified, if you are watching this, you're fired."? According to IMDB he's called Dr. Fullbladder - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0120309/ Maybe you could take a look at that when you get back. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 10:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Images
I uploaded 2 images with a transparent background from that list you gave me recently. Sorry it's taking me so long to get them done. Since the last time you guys asked me to do stuff like this, I've taken on a bigger role on the Wikia Gaming team (more work), so I'm a lot busier these days, constantly working on projects. Assuming those images are listed in order of priority, I'm starting at the top and working down. If the rest of the images on the list are not in the order you'd like them to get done, please rearrange them. Just a heads up about the Lawrence image - the original was a .jpg, which can't have transparency, so I uploaded the new Lawrence image. The rest of the original images are also jpg, so when I upload the new versions, I'll use the same naming method (CharacterName-transparent.png) JoePlay (talk) 19:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I just uploaded the trophy here. Since the original image was rather low quality, the edges were a little rough even after I smoothed them, so I put a slight glow around it. Since the object is a trophy, that makes sense, so it worked out quite well I think. I'll get to the other images on the list as soon as I can. JoePlay (talk) 17:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Award
Ok, maybe you could make a forum for the IMDB stuff as well, when you get a chance. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 18:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you come on the IRC for a short while? <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 19:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Strafe
We missed a move - Strafe. There's a source in the Q4B manual, found here. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 14:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also I was wondering if you wanted a potential FA/GA to work on. If so then Barnabus Worley could perhaps be a GA if more info can be found and Angstrom Darkwater could possibly get to FA status. I would do it myself but my knowledge of Q4B isn't that great and I can't easily play the game atm either. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 15:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Do we have an article on Ratchet's hover bike thing at the beginning of TOD? We've got some great images for it. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 16:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * On another note do you know where [[media:Ratchet Being Attacked.jpg|this]] image can be used? I can't remember the name of that enemy so I'm not sure. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 09:52, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Hey HiQu, it's a pleasure to talk to you. I was reading the good article nominations and read that you're one of the monitors. Uh, english is not my language, I didn't understand it well. How exactly do you nominate an article? I was kinda confused. But thanks again, Peter Kovich 00:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks, Peter Kovich 01:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hum, by the way, pretty nice your User Page. Can see you`re a big fan of Ratchet (and so do I!). How do you add that things like "Fan of Lombaxes", "likes Veldin" and stuff like that?
 * Oh, thanks, that's ok. Man, just sorry to bother but, I don't know where the nomination section is, I looked all the page and couldn't find it.

More images
Just a heads up... I just uploaded three more transparent background images -, , and. I'll try to get the last two (Agorian and Agorian rider) done soon. I also fixed the colors for that new line on the navigation widget (New page and Add image) so that it matches the colors of the toolbox. JoePlay (talk) 21:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I just uploaded the last 3 images (including the Nefarious that I forgot) from the list. JoePlay (talk) 22:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Transparent Robot Pirate is done. The foot isn't perfect, but if someone didn't know a watermark used to be there, they probably couldn't tell. JoePlay (talk) 22:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Hey HiQu. Yes, I've been recently inactive. I was wondering, because you own a PSP, you might've come across the game "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!". I've created a wiki about it, and need help with it. If you can help me, great. If not, it's OK. There's probably a million other people that have played it. the link is: http://www.holybadman.wikia.com Thanks if you can help. It's greatly appreciated.

Help
Hunterj told me that maybe you could help me with this. I finished the first challenge on planet Gorn, in Going Commando, and a cutscene appeared. But, in the middle of it, the screen freezed. I restarted the playstation, but when i got back on Gorn, the first challenge was complete, but there was no new planet available. I tried beating the challenge agian, but nothing happened. Anything I can do? I don't wanna loose all my game. Thanks a lot 200.138.40.165 18:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

A Crack in Time
Hello, just before A Crack in Time is released do you mind if I change things like the logo, main page, skin etc temporarily if I think it'd be a good thing? <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 12:57, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I should be around in about 30-40 mins. <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:56, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Past tense in articles
I see in your Manual of Style (which should be available when editing a page, btw, because otherwise people will follow standard encyclopaedic guidelines) that you want articles written in the past tense from the in-Universe perspective. However, most of these articles aren't really following that guideline properly, as they refer to things that still exist in-Universe in the past tense:

The first sentence of the article on Veldin: "Veldin was a desert planet with a vast rocky terrain," should be "Veldin is a desert planet with a vast rocky terrain." From Ratchet's perspective, Veldin still exists, so he wouldn't refer to it in past tense.

This is even though the sentence from that article, "The Lombax Ratchet lived in his "house" on Veldin until a small android nicknamed "Clank" by Ratchet crash-landed on the Kyzil Plateau," does follow that guideline by using past tense because these are events that have already happened in-Universe.

Clarification on this would be appreciated.

(I recently got a very rude post on my talk page by TIGERNOSE over a misunderstanding)

Darkwater image
Heya, Hunterj asked me if I'd leave you a quick notice about File:Darkwater.png. I managed to remove the background, but I'm afraid it doesn't look as great as I had hoped. With all the different curves, it's somewhat difficult to remove the background of it. Additionally, seeing as the legs fade out, it kind of takes away from the quality of the image as well. Would you like for me to crop part of the legs out of it, or shall I just keep as is? Cheers. &mdash;  supergeeky1   \ m  /  (  Talk Page  ) 18:19, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
