http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq150/Jo_The_Marten/cs_office_unlimited_oc0000-1.jpg Our professionally trained Hunters work around the clock, answering your many questions. Welcome to my talk page! Please feel free to post questions you might have here! Keep in mind, I'm not constantly on the Wiki, so it may take a few minutes to a few hours for me to respond. Also don't be surprised if another admin sees your post and responds to it before I do. We often go around to each other's talk pages to make sure everyone who has a question is satisfied in a timely manner. Here are some guidelines I like to see in comments to me:

Before anyone asks, the Userboxes can be found HERE! So please stop asking!

1. Readable

I understand not everyone spoke English as their first language, and that's fine. As long as it's readable and n0+ lyek dis foo' you'll be fine. =)

2. Mature

This is a Wiki. Members, especially admins, will edit and delete posts without mercy. If you're concerned about an edit I might have made, please tell me why you feel this way and persuade me. Do not come on here and complain like a 6 year old. Chances are that'll only get you blocked.

3. Sign your name

I can't tell you how tedious it is to go up to my Talk Page History and have to search for whoever sent a message. Just sign your posts and at least I'll know what page to go to if you don't already have a link to your page in your sig.

Don't forget to check my F.A.Q. page and see if I might have already answered your question.

Thanks, and I look forward to your questions and comments! =) Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  19:09, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Welcome message
Hey, Jo. Trying to figure something out about why your welcome-message-user is able to use the variables $1, $2, $3 and $4, whereas ours at w:c:tardis isn't. The only difference I see is that we have a template, tardis:template:welcome which MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user then calls. Does you know if the variables don't work unless they're directly in MW:w-m-u? --CzechOut 19:04, September 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I don't think those work for templates. Our Welcome template doesn't use them, only the MediaWiki version does.

Just saying hi.
It's been quite a long time since we last talked, I want to know how you're doing. Me, I'm doing alright, I guess. My brother let me borrow Dead Island cause he got Gears of War 3. In Dead Island, I'm playing as Logan Carter, and I'm a level 18 or something. You should Dead Island out, it's awesome. Zombiekiller14  AWESOME!!  12:06, October 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Try" Dead Island out, my bad. ^_^ Zombiekiller14   AWESOME!!  12:07, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Ain't over yet
Where do I start? I guess I should start by saying that after over a year of inactivity, I've wandered back into the glory of the Left 4 Dead realm and its polished wiki. And I'm overcome with nostalgia.

Honestly, Jo? You're doing a fantastic job, you're infinitely more committed than I ever was. The wiki hasn't looked better. And being here, filling with pride as I pawn over the articles that I once helped create, makes me realise something. I've finally re-discovered the time, and the will, to help out as much as I can, after such a long absence. The Second Coming of Five Dog, essentially. Sounds catchy, right?

So I'll return to editing. Return to adminship. Like the good ol' days. Being as pedantic as ever, my editing will probably consist of jobs no one else likes to do, such as categorising or link-fixing. Heheh, but I'm happy doing these things - just happy to be back. And of course I'll do my part to watch over the wiki as I once did, keep vandals in check and whatnot. I probably won't make a genuine re-emergence until the end of the week, but I wanted to leave this message on impulse, so I had to let you know.

More than anything though, this is a re-establishment of that friendship we held so long ago, and hopefully, still hold, distantly. And if so, let's make that re-connection. You've got to add me on Facebook, buddy - lest the wrath of ol' Five Dog come down on you and all that jazz. I'm interested to catch up - to know where life has taken you and where life is taking you.

Anyway, like I said, terrific job in sticking with wiki, things are looking sharp. And if you'll let me, I'd be thrilled to edit alongside you once more - see if we can't make this wiki immortal. -- Five Dog  Talk |undefined Read |undefined 01:41, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * .....Who are you again?


 * I kid <3 Welcome back Five. Always glad to have you by. Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png|I dare you to click Mini Hunter|link=http://l4dwiki.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=venatorphile]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  05:39, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Blogs
If blogs aren't to be created, you, or whomever runs the site, should make it so that blogs can't be created. It's how the StarCraft Wikia does it; it's set up in a way that keeps blogs from being made. Slightly annoying in my opinion though, but them's the way things go.

 * Seems like you use to not be able to. But yeah, I can. Yay. Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png|I dare you to click Mini Hunter|link=http://l4dwiki.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=venatorphile]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  02:14, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

VWN OverWiki link
Could you change the OverWiki link on the main page to be separated with space instead of | ([link Combine OverWiki] instead of [link|Combine OverWiki])? The current link is broken. SiPlus 17:50, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Video Walkthroughs
Hey Jo,

I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to add video walkthoughs to the Campaign pages or their respective chapter pages. TheSteelerNation2 12:57, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * We already have some. See the opening section. Jo the Marten  [[Image:Mini Hunter.png|I dare you to click Mini Hunter|link=http://l4dwiki.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=venatorphile]]( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  16:53, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Left 4 Dead 2 PC resolution
Hey, Jo, this is unrelated to the Wiki, first off. As a Visual Editor, I'm actually having a bit of difficulty with it lately. My Left 4 Dead 2 on PC all of a sudden has terrible resolution. You can see it right away on the loading screen for a campaign, where the poster is super pixelated. So I can no longer take high-resolution screenshots because a bunch of in-game stuff is rendering in a really low resolution. The weird part is, it doesn't do this for Hard Rain or The Parish. I uninstalled it and redownloaded it and it still has the same problem. The resolution settings are to the highest setting. And it has worked fine until recently, where all of a sudden, it just isn't rendering right. Any ideas? Or what I should do? Thank you! Jordan Woolf 21:43, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

New Blog Post
I edited the Blog page, the home page, and the Mutation page to corrospond with the new blog and mutation, Hard Eight. Your welcome! :) I hope I can become a good asset to this wiki. :) TheSteelerNation2

Bored
Since I can't edit now... Can we at least talk there's nothing else to do.

Need your help
Hey Jo, I'm gonna need your help with more templates and wikis... I hope its ok with you. Can you come online on Steam tomorrow afternoon so we can discuss things? Try and let me know if you can... Thanks! --06abrahb 03:37, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Long time, no see.
Hey, Jo. How's it been? It's been quite a long time since we last spoke, y'know? Anyway, just asking how you've been. ^_^ Zombiekiller14   You burned?  13:21, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
