==About the "review" thing==
 +
Hello, I've got the message about the review of Jew, ClockworkSpirit and Dr. Scaphandre from Scaphandre. I think the reviews are probably about the Wiki Cap Nomination, so I leave a message here for the confirmation. If it is really about the nomination, then maybe I will take some time looking at these three nominees and give YES/NO reviews since I don't really know them much. Posing my reviews here later is probably not a good idea, so it would be great if there's another discreet way to send my reviews to you, thanks.

BTW, the Cap review logs' password are auto-generated, I forget how to get inside. Is there any way to get in...?

: The idea is that you don't need to be known beyond a pseudonym. Whenever you're ready send your vote and a reasonable short rationale. Either with Steam or IRC PMs.  Email is also fine. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 19:52, 31 August 2016 (PDT)

::Okay. If I come up with reviews, I'll let you know. Probably by using Steam. [[File:User ~www~ Avatar cont clear.jpg|100px|link=User:~www~|~www~]] 20:58, 31 August 2016 (PDT)
  
What dictates when a citation needed sentence can be removed?  Do they remain indefinitely unless someone manages to find a source to reference (in which case, beginning a sentence with "Valve stated..." would guaranteed a certain level of immunity)?  The only reason I ask is that I spent several hours online watching and reading interviews which lead to a dead link and no official info on it (just forum posts perpetuating second hand information).  Just wanted to ask before spending any more time on other citation stuff.  Thanks. {{unsigned|Malthenius}}
 
: No they don't remain indefinitely, but it will remain until it's discussed on the talk page. If a sentence has the citation template it means that it was not outright disproved but still needs to be confirmed. Also please remember to sign your talk page edits with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 09:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I have seen so many pages on this wiki showing people crafting stuff, opening crates, etc., usually rare stuff.

: The problem with videos like yours is that if we allowed one to stay all videos showing an item being crafted would have to stay as well.

Hello, I am quite new to the TF2 wiki, but certainly not new to Wikimarkup and the lark. I am trying to add a link to my Wikipedia Userpage, but keep getting hit with a ReCAPTCHA for the external link, then a "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: New user spam". What I am actually trying to type in: "Greetings, I am Littlecat456, an experienced wiki editor. My main wikipedia account can be found [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Littlecat456 here]]. If you need to discuss something private with me, use the handy-dandy "Email this User" button found on both Wikipedia and this wiki.

: Paisley bandannas don't heave a gap on them, the patterns are dense across the entire thing. It might have been ''influenced'' by one but for now your trivia is merely an observation.

I have a few questions about navigating through the Wiki (I already read most of the guidelines), as the way of communicating here is pretty new to me.
  
Seriously, please explain to me why two simple sentences explaining the basic gameplay values of an item aren't needed simply because we can go "oh why bother? Its somewhere else!". Why should the reader have to go to another page to find out how this item functions? Its basic computer philosophy mate, a user should be able to get the information on what they want as quickly and in as few moves as possible. If a user wants to know exactly a Lugermorph functions and how to use it we shouldn't be telling them to stop reading the Lugermorph one, read the pistol one and then come back. A brief summary of the gameplay measures is therefore quite reasonable on that article. Simply strutting in and going "Don't add this again!" isn't exactly helpful. -- [[User:Sabre|Sabre]] 11:07, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
+
I am not sure whom I should contact. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
: I believe you answered your own question. Redundant information isn't needed. This is a wiki, the essence of which isn't to be a site designed for casual visitors. It is a place for people to be involved in a constant process of collaboration and documentation of things that change frequently. I apologize if you got the wrong idea from other weapon pages (I just noticed someone has been doing the same thing to the other alternate texture/model pages as well) but it was decided that we will not be pasting summaries or statistics from their respective normal variant pages. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 11:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 
  
:: Minor niggling, but it wasn't copy-and-pasted, I wrote the summaries on the Big Kill and Lugermorph pages to try to convey the gameplay information with deliberately different and more brief wording to avoid any notion of simply copy-and-pasting.

About the "review" thing

Hello, I've got the message about the review of Jew, ClockworkSpirit and Dr. Scaphandre from Scaphandre. I think the reviews are probably about the Wiki Cap Nomination, so I leave a message here for the confirmation. If it is really about the nomination, then maybe I will take some time looking at these three nominees and give YES/NO reviews since I don't really know them much. Posing my reviews here later is probably not a good idea, so it would be great if there's another discreet way to send my reviews to you, thanks. ~www~ 19:50, 31 August 2016 (PDT)
