Hey, I saw that you added a few questions to the Wikipediholism test. I left some of your questions, but I also removed a few of them. Some of your questions were good, but some were a bit redundant and off-topic. You're new here, so I just thought I'd let you know (not trying to be a dick or anything). If you need anything, let me know. Xhaoz Talk • Contribs 01:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you but I saw that some of my questions were stupid in the revision history James1011R (talk) 21:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah man, I know you're trying to help, but just be careful when adding questions. I watch that test really closely and as mentioned before, some of your questions aren't bad, but some are just a little...pointless. You're free to add more, but just know that from time to time some of them might be taken down. Xhaoz Talk • Contribs 00:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
*sigh* I hate deleting all of the questions you add, but some of them are just really pointless. I'll give you a few pointers:
- Don't use 4chan lingo (giving 1337 points, using terms like "epic" and "win", etc.)
- Ask questions that people will actually be able to answer. Questions like editing on the moon and editing on a 100-story building aren't really rational questions. I know there are a few in there, but don't overdo it and kill the humor. Also don't go vice-versa and add questions that you know everyone will be able to answer (e.g. "Have you ever used Wikipedia to gain research?" and "a ton of research?").
- Don't add comments after the scores you put (e.g. (1000, Cool!) or (1000, Really? WOW!)). Only add comments after questions that need them, and dont use the same comment / joke if it has already been used elsewhere.
- Ask questions that actually make sense. Questions like "Have you edited a blank sheet into a normal article?" and "Do you have a Real Life Barnstar?" don't exactly make a whole lot of sense.
I know you probably think I'm taking it too seriously, but I watch that page like a hawk. Again, I'm not trying to be a dick, I just think some of the questions are a little pointless. Hopefully this helps. Xhaoz Talk • Contribs 23:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- I apologize, but I also removed two questions that you added. Currently I believe that taking away points for doing something exceptional, then giving them and saying "really?" is a bit overdone in the test, and other users have also expressed the same thought on the talk page. While it is funny to use it once or twice throughout the test, it gets a little by of an overkill when it is used frequently. If you look through the test, you'll see how it's already used plenty of times, so I think it would be best to not add anymore. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:02, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Foundry (Suggestion)
There should be a Wikipedia:Foundry - Blue if created
The Foundry should be like the sanbox but Foundry content should stay until it's deleted and the Foundry should have games like Word Association (Currently in sandbox but it should be moved there.), Wikipedia Word Game, and the elusive Wikipedia Foundry Game.

I noticed you started the hardcore ultra game. Another similar premise is Alphabet Association. Simply south...... eating shoes for 5 years So much for ER 19:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Alphabet Association is called that because it's restricted to particular letters of the alphabet. James1011R (talk, contribs) - That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. 21:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
