I just realized you fixed the little gif on my userpage, thanks. What is the proper way to embed images by the way? [[User:PureLocke|PureLocke]] 20:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah!! You only needed to put the image name between [[]]. If you want to change the size, do something like this: <nowiki>[[NAME|120px]]</nowiki>. [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 17:00, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
:Ahhh alright I'm more used to the forum [something=url]-name-[/something] format. Thanks again! [[User:PureLocke|PureLocke]] 18:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


== Nakku/Knight ==
==NASCAR editing!==
Just a notice in regards to your recent edits: By no means does ''Nakku'' mean '''knight'''. In fact, the closest translation is ''Knuckle''. Just thought I'd point that out. {{:User:Pakkun/sig}} 14:03, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey Jeangabin, nice to see you back! The staff and I have noticed even prior to your "vacation" that you are a big fan of what we like to call "speed editing". It's great for putting in pipelinks and small content fixes, but we've noticed that there are many mistakes left in your final revisions that could've been prevented if more time was spent on the edits themselves!


== What have I done?! =,( ==
All we're saying is that, even when putting in pipelinks and such, it would be in your best interest to sssssllllooowww dddooooowwwnnn when editing so you can completely fix any mistakes in the content you've written, before moving on or making another edit! You are one of our most active editors, and we'd hate for you to make any mistakes while "speed editing" - no doubt many of the editors here look up to your editing capabilities! Good to have you back. :D {{:User:Cipriano/sig}} 18:45, 30 August 2010 (EDT)
Hi, Jeangabin. I'm asking for help. I created a category: It's [[:Category:Racing games|Racing games]]. It's supposed to be a subcategory of minigames where one lists the articles about races, but said articles have the [[:Template:Minigame|Minigame template]] already, and it places them in the Minigames category, which leads to redundancy. So I tried to update the template so that adding '''<nowiki>|type = racing</nowiki>''' would put the pages about races into the new category, rather than the MG category. It's not working well: Now [[Beaver Falls Race]] has both categories in it, and part of the source code I added is blatantly shown in the page, and I have no idea on how to hide that. Seeing your experience on making templates, can you help me here, please? --[[User:K2L|K2L]] 13:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
:Lol! Ok, thanks for the advice :) [[User:Jeangabin@legacy41961421|Jeangabin]] 05:28, 31 August 2010 (EDT)
:Never mind, it was a very minor thing I forgot to add while editing the template. I fixed it quickly. Good day =) --[[User:K2L|K2L]] 14:01, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
::Ok ;) Come back if you have any other question, I'd be glad to help. Also nice job K2L!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 20:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey JG, you are a french student, right? Does that mean you are fluent in French, or just an international student studying in France? If it is the former, I have an interesting task for you! The admin staff here is interested in affiliating <small>(see our affiliates page {{Red Link|Zelda Wiki:Affiliates|here}} to see our current affilates)</small> with a site called [http://www.zelda-source.com/ Zelda Source], however, the entire site is in French! We were just wondering if you could help us out with the project! Let me know if you're interested. {{:User:Cipriano/sig}} 22:31, 2 September 2010 (EDT)
:I'm French (and fluent in French ;) Yess, I'd be glad to help affiliating with Zelda Source! [[User:Jeangabin@legacy41961421|Jeangabin]] 05:23, 3 September 2010 (EDT)

== Link's Awakening Translations ==
Hey,


== Enemy templates, awesome job! ==
Lately I've been doing some editing on the Link's Awakening Trading Sequence pages, adding the names in other regions to each item and whatnot. Anyways, I just wanted to ask how certain you are of your translations, since I've noticed you've done most of the work on the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Translations|Link's Awakening Translations]] page. Some of your translations don't seem to come up in the Zelda Legends Japanese Text dump, which you can find [http://www.zeldalegends.net/files/emulation/dumps/zelda4/dxjapan/z4dump(dxjp).html here]


I've seen your work on the enemy navigation templates, and I'm compelled to tell you it's unbelievably awesome! They are much more organized and thorough than I ever imagined. I'm glad you finally started creating those instead of the large "See Also" additions. It's easier, cleaner, more consistent, and less disputed to do these. From a casual browsing in the category, I think you may have covered most of the enemies by now. I read the Like Like dispute and suggested to others via skype that some enemies fit into multiple groups. From a sheer article appearance perspective, you guys should consider limiting an entry to the 3 best fits. Mainly to have them centered at the foot of an article instead of stacked. Consider the case of [[Twinrova]], she's in a Humanoid/Sorcerer grouping, but her embodiment of the fire and ice elements may warrant inclusion in those as well. Bear in mind that I don't say that merely because of her attacks with those elements, but because of her apparent physical form includes them.  
While I'm here, I want to congratulate you on all your great work with the wiki. Every obscure article I look at, it seems like it's you that's behind it. Way to stand up for the little guys!


Lastly, I think you could branch out of enemy navigation templates and into some of the other cross references you worked on. The ideal candidate for them are things that would be too silly or small as a category and too large or disconnected for ''see alsos''. One of the groups you worked on were teachers if I recall correctly, some other possibilities would be the farmers, bomb shopkeepers, potion shopkeepers, or any other reoccurring professions, maybe even similar themed dungeons using the sage medallion or anything else symbolic of the attribute.
Yours truly, [[User:Hylian King|Hylian King]] 16:36, 30 September 2010 (EDT)
:Thanks you!! I've find it on a Japanese website. You can correct them if you think they're not accurate. Also, congratulation to you too Hylian King, you've been doing a great job on all the trading sequence pages :D [[User:Jeangabin@legacy41961421|Jeangabin]] 07:07, 1 October 2010 (EDT)


Anyhow, keep up the good work! I don't visit ZW as much anymore, but if you need my attention, feel free to use my talk page at [http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/User:Axiomist my wiki] {{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 07:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:Yeah! Thank you Axiomist ;) I've done a lot of template recently, I'll work on something else before creating other ones. Anyhow, sweet thanks for your help and suggestions!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 23:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, pal. I know you haven't been active for quite long, but when you are, would you like to help us translate (and/or add) the French names for the items. places, characters and enemies/boses in the series? I have done the same for the Spanish names, but so far that language and Japanese are the only ones translated. Thanks in advance =). --{{:User:K2L3798@legacy41960118/sig}} 12:27, 1 December 2010 (EST)


== To save, or not to save... ==
:Hi my friend! Ok ;D I'll do this when I'll have time (sorry if it might be in months) [[User:Jeangabin@legacy41961421|Jeangabin]] 16:30, 28 December 2010 (EST)
Hi Jeangabin! Thanks for all the edits you've been doing, especially in regards to the wiki's continuity. It can be tedious to go through fixing links, but you do a great job of it. I do have one suggestion though: I've noticed that you sometimes do multiple edits to one page in a row. I know that it's easy to see something you want to add or change after you've saved; everyone does! But if you use the time when you press "Show Preview," not only to check the work you did (spelling errors, alignment, etc), but also to examine the '''rest of the article''', you can continue to add things as you go until it's perfect and ''then'' you can press "Save." Doing so keeps the saves to a minimum and keeps the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] page clean and tidy! =) Try it out and see how you like it! Keep up the great work!! {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 13:19, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
:Yess... sorry about this. I'll do my best!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 14:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
::Ok, keep trying! I know it's tough but it's important. You're a good editor, you'll get the hang of it. =D {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 21:48, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 
== Lines ==
Hi Jeangabin, sorry for the misunderstanding earlier in regards to the [[Snapper]] page. I was under the impression that nothing should come before the infobox, including the "You may be looking for" sentences (see [[Ikana Kingdom]]). Upon further inspection I found that there is some discord. However, I don't believe keeping it on one line is the issue, because the [[Princess Ruto]] page line comes before the infobox but is still on two lines (as rendered by my screen resolution). I'll double check this and let you know what I find! =) {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 14:25, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
:Ok!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 16:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
::Update! I talked to Dany and you were right - lines directing people to other pages should go above the userbox. Happy editing! {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 19:19, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 
== Images ==
Hey, those images you uploaded from Zeldapedia? You can't just take those. Our copyright license and Zeldapedia's license do not mix, so we can't use their content and vice versa. It's a legal thing. Also, they don't like it when we do this, and we have rules against it. So next time, try to look elsewhere for images :){{:User:Justin/sig}} 15:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
:Ok. Can we use images from strategywiki.org? [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 15:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
::Ah, sorry that I missed this. (I disappeared for a week again :P) Uh, yeah, we can use Strategy Wiki's images provided that they are properly credited (just say "found on Strategy Wiki" with a link to them){{:User:Justin/sig}} 02:23, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 
== Imdel template ==
 
Hey, Jeangabin, when you use the imdel template, could you define the reason? You can see the full list on the [[Template:Imdel|template's page]]. Thanks!{{:User:Justin/sig}} 10:06, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
:Ok! I didn't know that, thanks. [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 10:09, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
::No problem :) Another thing, though. When you use ''thumb'' in an image, you can't choose the size of the image with ''(x)px''. It's because a thumbnail is a smaller version of an image. I think ''frame'' will allow you to select a size, though. Just preview before saving (as always) ;){{:User:Justin/sig}} 11:39, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
:::Ok ;) [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 11:52, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
 
== Great job! ==
 
Hey, Jeangabin! Just wanted to drop in and tell you that you've been doing a great job at cleaning up this wiki and making it a lot better! You've done a good job with all of those new pages that you've been creating, and also making our Characters pages look way neater than I could have possibly hoped. All of those small edits you're making go a long way to improving this wiki, so keep it up! :) [[User:Dany36|Dany36]] 21:40, 10 August 2010 (EDT)
:Merci!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 07:33, 11 August 2010 (EDT)
 
== Regarding a few of your images in the Background Removal (Transparency) section of the Image Requests page ==
 
A few images you've uploaded need the backgrounds removed. That's fine and dandy and an easy enough task, but some of them are in jpg format. jpg files don't support transparency. It seems I can't use a different format when uploading a newer version, so the backgrounds for the jpg files cannot be removed. To support transparency, images should be in the png or gif format. (png is usually preferred because it supports a greater range of colours and supports translucency as well as transparency.) --[[User:Nosh|Nosh]] 08:26, 12 August 2010 (EDT)
:Done! I didn't how to convert a jpg to png, but I've found how on the web. Also thank you very much for the background removals!! [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 08:47, 12 August 2010 (EDT)
::Not a problem. Glad I could help. Out of curiosity, what program do you use for editing images? I ask, because I'm wondering what's causing your png images to have white backgrounds in the first pace. --[[User:Nosh|Nosh]] 08:51, 12 August 2010 (EDT)
