Welcome
Hi, welcome to Warhammer 40k! Thanks for your edit to the Space Wolves 13th Company page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Montonius (Talk) 02:19, February 10, 2011

Pictures
Fantastic work on the Angels of Absolution, Algrim, just fantastic. You're our new go-to guy for the custom Colour Schemes. If you find any other Space Marine Chapter pages with discrepancies in the custom pictures, please feel free to create the correct scheme, your work is of the highest quality and is a welcome addition to the wiki. Thanks. Montonius 07:26, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Great pics you have put up.

Exorcists
Thanks Algrim. By the way, I really just wanted to say that after a rough start you've become a real top-notch contributor whose work I look forward to seeing, and that's saying something considering how few solid editors we actually have. You're our go-to guy for Space Marines, so feel free to continue your replacement of our custom Space Marine Colour Schemes, your work is superior. Thanks again. Montonius 09:15, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Great Idea
Great idea Algrim! Let's fix all the First Founding Chapters and the Chaos Space Marine Legions. Tell me which ones you want me to unlock first. Montonius 05:44, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Great job on the Blood Ravens. Which First Founding Legions do you want to hit next? We're half way there! Montonius 11:51, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Great job on the Blood Ravens. Which First Founding Legions do you want to hit next? We're half way there! Montonius 11:51, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Deathwatch
Not to distract you from the Vraks project, but could you do a quick custom Chapter colour scheme for the Deathwatch? I did one months ago but the badge is wrong and also, i've got the colours on the wrong sides lol, the Imperial Fist badge and the silver Deathwatch arm should be reversed. You don't need to fix the text, just that one picture, if you get the chance. It's unlocked for you. Thanks. Montonius 05:28, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Magnificent, just freaking magnificent on the Deathwatch page! Best custom job you've done yet. Thanks. Montonius 21:39, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Storm Wardens
The Storm Wardens need your custom touch as well after the Astral Claws and Red Corsairs and when you retouch the Revilers and Praetors of Orpheus. Unlocked the Storm Wardens for you, but don't alter the text, I recently rewrote it. Thanks. Montonius 22:41, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

LOL. Ooops, my bad! Sorry, didn't realise what I asked you to do was locked. Duh! Opened! Montonius 00:46, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Let me just say that with your Storm Wardens custom scheme you just outdid yourself. Magnificent! Simply freaking magnificent! (They are a personal favorite Chapter of mine) Montonius 04:47, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Blood Gorgons
Algrim, thank you for your aid and dedication in systematically tackling large areas of the wiki as no other contributor ever does or is likely to ever do. Your efforts are invaluable to us. As always, thanks. Montonius 03:28, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Chaos Fleets
Algrim, Chaos Fleet needs your sources and page numbers, please. Great work, by the way, you've really filled out some crucial parts of the wiki. Montonius 07:23, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Bio-Titans
Algrim, I have a very special request. I was wondering if you could work your magic on the Tyranid Bio-Titan page. I have not been able to secure access to the original sources concerning the Bio-Titans and the page is poorly written and poorly explained. Even worse, there are no pictures to explain the different types of Bio-Titans listed. If you could make any enhancements to the page, I'd be very grateful. Thanks, as always, Montonius 15:17, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Great job with the Bio-Titans and Hierophants. And welcome your brother aboard for me!

Unification Wars Congrats
You did an amazing job with this page! I was truly dreading gathering that information from all the novels. Brilliant, just brilliant! Kudos to you. Montonius 08:09, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Eisenstein
Algrim, love ya for that picture of the Eisenstein; I looked forever for one to put there and gave up!Montonius 07:45, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome Back
Welcome back, Zach, we missed you and we've grown quite a bit in your absence. The page is unlocked, didn't even know it was lockedor I would have opened it long ago.Montonius 01:49, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Squats page open. Montonius 01:55, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Eldar
Hi Zach, thanks for completing the Eldar page. Thanks again, you're doing fantastic work. Montonius 03:57, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Necrons
Hey Zach, your Necron Lord page is perhaps the best you've ever done. Truly great work. Thanks. Montonius 01:34, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

I THINK I LOVE YOU
Alright brother, just wanna commend you on what a quality job your doing with this Wiki. Im pretty new to the whoke WH40k scene Ive just finished reading Fulgrim and the 4 before that in the Heresy series and Im genuinely Hooked line & sinker. Ive been studying the Wiki all day and Im pretty up to speed with everythin, I think. Theres so much to cover. I have no real desire to play the board game at any point, but the novels, wow, I genuinly aim to read them all, not just the Heresy series haha, infact Ive just ordered the Space Wolf Omnibous V1. Thats all anyways, just wanted to say Keep up the Good Work and fuckin ignore that SpaceMarine asshole blowing off about copyright infringement, like your pal said to him, your actually increasing the fan base of WH40K with this site so in effect doing them a favour, I cant see them suing or anything like that, you just might wanna be careful with copy & paste's etc.

Mark.

Sabbat Worlds Crusade
When you are done with all you want to accomplish for the Titan Legions, and as far as I know all that remains is to add separate pages for each type of Imperial/Chaos Titan, I have a page that could definitely benefit from your time and research. Our Sabbat Worlds Crusade page is completely bare and we need to start laying down some information there. After your absolutely herculean effort with the Titans, I though you might like to start on that project. Its another multi-pager that will take some time to research and prepare, but I'd like to see some progress there as it is the largest non-Space Marine Imperial campaign we have not yet even touched.

On another note, absolutely fantastic job with the Titans. Could not have been done to that level of quality without you. And as a reward for your efforts, I just wanted you to know that we now get over 100,000 page views globally on a daily basis and more than 30,000 individual users, up from less than 1,000 when I took over the wiki only 18 months ago. And that growth is in no small part because of the work you have accomplished here since February. Congratulations on a job well done, and we all look forward to your future contributions, Zach. Montonius 05:57, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I wanted to bring your attention to another wiki I founded and operate, the Warhammer Wiki for Warhammer Fantasy. If you ever get tired of Warhammer 40k, as I sometimes do, the fantasy world is also a fun place to hang out and prepare pages for. This wiki is about 18 months old but I have had little time to work on it because of my duties here. Take a look, because with that wiki, we could easily make it the number one wiki on the net for Warhammer Fantasy, since WF does not have a real competitor wiki right now. Montonius 06:15, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

Oi! Nice Pikshures!
Oï Algrim Whitetoof.

And don't even start finkin' about puttin'up pikshures of uva klanz, dey'z just PANZIES.

Tyrork Deffbringa 18:41, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Fall of Prospero
Wonderful work! You have truly mastered the art of researching an extremely difficult subject with the attention to detail required that makes us the best Warhammer 40k wiki out there. When you have finished up the remaining tasks I outlined above, I will have more need of such skill for several new projects. Again, simply outstanding work and an immense contribution to this wiki's success. Montonius 14:26, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

im just here to say hi to! but ill just ask u u like dogs soo much?? just asking! :)

Robots
Wonderful work on the Robots and Legio Cybernetica pages. I think the Robots page in particular represents some of your best work to date, Zach.

Kudos
I just wanted you to know that in the last 5 days you have personally added 36 new pages to this wiki. I believe that is a new personal record for you. That represents an extraordinary committment and dedication above and beyond the call of duty which I just wanted to recognise. Your committment to the wiki has been exemplary and, I thought you should know that we now average over 60,000 separate people viewing the wiki every day from across the globe. This growth has been in no small measure the result of your hard work. Keep it up! Montonius 10:22, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for your help. It worked out really well with Shas, and I think that's because of your help; you've really been an invaluable aid since you became an Admin, and I just wanted to express my appreciation for the great job you're doing at every level. Thanks again; I couldn't run this place without you. Now let's get back to content creation, whoo hoo! Montonius (talk) 00:46, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Planet List
Whew! Nice clean up of the Planet List! Now can you do the same (removing all the old footnote data and the Main Article: xxxx links and replacing them with the in-text links to the Space Marine Chapters so that each entry begins with the link in the paragraph text) from the Space Marine Chapter list, Mr. Clean? LOL Montonius (talk) 05:40, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, Shas'o came up with the idea for creating a template to indicate those pages like the necrons that will undergo a major revision in the future. Here's the code he used, but I thought when you get a chance you could just adapt your Inquisition label which you use for pages under construction with this text:

"Please note: This page is slated for a major upgrade in the future. Information at present may not be up to date or may be of low quality. "

Here is Shas'o's code, if you find it helpful:

{subst:iumb


 * bg = #EEE8AA


 * image = Whatever Picture


 * caption = Outdated Content


 * message = Parts of this article have been identified as no longer being up to date.


 * comment = Please update the article to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished.

}

Please leave any complete sign code on my talk page and I will apply it to all the necessary pages. Thanks again, Mr. Maintenance!

Montonius (talk) 08:02, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Mordians
Very nice page with the Mordian Iron Guard! Best IG regiment page yet. Montonius (talk) 03:51, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Ork Boyz
Hey Zach, when you get a chance, not that I want to pull you off Vraks and the IG redlinks, but that Ork Boyz page needs a list of all the different types of Ork Boyz with a short description of each one, which we will eventually create a page for each, if they don't already exist (DON'T do that now! Orks for the future, just the list! LOL). Montonius (talk) 02:55, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

I need your skills.
Thank you sir, I try my hardest. I have found two new Space Marine Chapter/Warbands for you: the Black Crusaders from IA2 on the Grot Bomm pages, and the Exquisite Host warband in IA Apoc II, on the Sonic Dreadnought page. Sorry for the extra work.

Vforvendetta1 (talk) 01:30, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
This is Terisk, the guy who made the original Macragge's Honour page, And i just wanted to thank you for adding a astounding amount of detail to the page along with Shas'o'kais. And also thanks for not just deleting it outright you are awsome man.

Terisk (talk) 15:28, April 17, 2013 (UTC)TeriskTerisk (talk) 15:28, April 17, 2013 (UTC).

Necron Dynasty Configuration Image
Hey Zach, can you use your graphical magic when you get a chance to give me a bigger and clearer image of the makeup of a Necron dynasty on page 13 of the Necron 5th Edition Codex? I have begun the Necron upgrade, and I need a bigger and clearer version of that image of the Saurekh Dynasty to add to the upcoming Necron Dynasty section on the Necrons portal page when I continue work next week. Thanks, and obviously, we have crappy sopurce material so anything you can do that is better than the current page would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Montonius (talk) 12:56, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

IG Specialists
Hey Zach, you're probably already doing this, but could you add ALL the functional Imperial Guard roles from both the Only War Core book and Hammer of the Emperor now that you've started the project? We could use them all. Montonius (talk) 18:31, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

IG
Zach, I really need you to stay focused on finishing all the Ig specialists. The Eldar will wait til they're done. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 22:17, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the Crimson Hunters icon! I hoped you would fix it. Awesome! Montonius (talk) 05:16, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Salamanders
What was the official source for the contention that the Salamanders have slower reflexes than other Astartes in the Gene-Seed section of the Salamanders' page? It has been challenged as incorrect on the Talk Page. Montonius (talk) 13:10, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Algrim, just a quick question. Which one of the sources on the Imperial Navy page

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Navy#Torpedoes

states that torpedoes are 200 metres long on crusiers and 300 metres long on battleships?

Warhammer 40k Wiki Ranked 52nd
I just thought you might like to know that this wiki was recently ranked 52nd amongst all other Wikis on all of wikia in the number of readers and in quality! There are well over 10,000 wikis in existence on wikia! This is an extraordinary achievement, and is due in no small part to the work you put in over the years. We are now ranked among the likes of the WOWwiki, the Star Wars wiki, the Harry Potter wiki, the Mass Effect wiki, and the like, all considered the best and most popular wikis in the world. I just thought you'd like to know! Montonius (talk) 00:08, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

Horus Heresy Specialist
Hey Zach, since you have more limited time, beyond doing whatever you felt like, I was hoping to just make you the Horus Heresy material specialist. As that stuff comes out on a more irregular schedule, I'd like you to take point on putting up the pages related to the new material, or altering the existing material, like with the novel Vulkan Lives and the Horus Heresy Volume Two Betrayal background book coming from Imperial Armour. You can, of course, do whatever else you feel like you have time for, but your Horus Heresy stuff was always the best, so I'd definitely want you to do that material if you have little time for anything else. Thanks!Montonius (talk) 23:18, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

LOL, Zach, its not an order, just a request. You do whatever you like, and I personally much prefer you to do small chunks than to do the massive info dumps of the past, because my own time is now more limited than before, just like yours. But when you do have the time, I'd like you to use it on the Horus Heresy, because you always did the best work there, and it's the stuff people are most interested in. When you left us, our daily numbers dropped by 25,000! Thanks. Montonius (talk) 00:14, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Can you prepare pages for the other two Chosen of Abaddon and a Chosen of Abaddon page itself? Thanks. Montonius (talk) 01:01, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Old Necron Vehicles
The current Necron Wargear page has a list of older vehicles like the Abattoir, Tomb Guardian and Obelisk (an older version different from the current one wealready have a page for) that come from 3rd Edition. I think we need seperate pages for them as Shas'o is going to redo the Necrons Wargear page up to the new standard which will get rid of all the vehciles, but I can't do pages for them because I have no idea what the sources are for them, some of which is old White Dwarfs. Can you help me source them? Montonius (talk) 04:29, September 6, 2013 (UTC)

Penal Legion
Zach I received a request today for a page on an Imperial Guard Penal Legion. If you can put one up quickly, that would be great, but if it's gonna take a lot of time to research, just lay it aside til you have less important stuff to do. Montonius (talk) 01:57, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Ultramarines
Hey Zach, can you make sure all the new info on the Ultramarines makes it onto their page? I think its the last one of the major Chapter overhauls covered in the 6th Ed. Codex that we didn't get around to yet. Also, can you make sure that every image of the individual Space Marines from each Chapter in the Codex has been tranasposed to the wiki? I beleve you did them all, but let's just make a final check to be sure, one by one.

Finally, did you pick up a copy of Emperor's Chosen to make those edits, or are those from the previews? Montonius (talk) 04:47, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you
Hey man,

Just wanted to thank you for all the work you put in on this wiki. I read this site for hours and hours and I really appreciate everything you do on here. Thanks again man, I'll keep reading!

Take care,

-Corey

Drop Site Massacre
Hey Zach, it may be a while before you get around to this baby, but I just wanted to give you this heads-up -- the Drop Site Massacre page already has a lot of material on it from different books; when you upgrade the page, try to save as much of that material as possible when you add the new details from the Horus Heresy Book so we don't lose the benefits of the other sources. Just something to be aware of; thanks. Montonius (talk) 08:03, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Sm Codex Completion
Hey Zach, I basically completed the transfer of the 6th Edition SM Codex content to the wiki today, but I need help with two things -- first, can you create a copy of the map of all the Chapter locations on pp. 16-17 of the Codex? Then leave it on may talk page and I will add it to the Space Marine main page. Second, can you add the new pictures of the Space Marine Honour Badges from the Codex to the Space Marine page? You can replace all of them there now with the new art except the one of the service studs for the head, see if you can place both pictures of the studs, the one we have there now as well as the new one, side-by-side, as I think they both look great. Thanks, and with your help we can finish off the entire Codex! Montonius (talk) 15:21, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, one more thing. Is there any way we can get a larger version of the picture of the entire Ultramarines Chapter? It's a great picture but it's too small to see any real detail. Is there any way you can make it larger so it can be zoomed in like the picture of the Ultramarines 2nd Company? Montonius (talk) 15:41, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Legio Cybernetica Wargear
Hey Zach. great update to the Legio Cybernetica page. However, all that wargear and some of the other items are going to need their own pages. I have added these items to your blog as a reminder. You can do it I guess when you catch up with all the other Horus Heresy wargear we need, whenever that is. Thanks! Montonius (talk) 21:01, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Horus Heresy Book 2
I really hate to bother you with this but is there any way that you can get the full images of the vehicles from Massacre, the ones that take up two pages?

If you are able to do this, here is a list of them all:

The Fellblade on pages 50-51, the Stormblade on pages 54-55, the Shadowsword on pages 58-59, the Cerberus on pages 62-63, the Cerberus on pages 80-81, the Fellblade on pages 82-83, the Thunderhawk Transporter on pages 84-85, the Malcador on pages 86-87, the Spartan on pages 100-101, the Storm Eagle on pages 108-109, the Fellblade on pages 118-119, the Thunderhawk on pages 128-129, the Typhon on pages 130-131, the Thunderhawk on pages 148-149, the Fellblade on 162-163, the Spartan on pages 196-197.

Thanks!

Vforvendetta1 (talk) 05:00, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks man, I saw the picture of the Salamander's Typhon Siege Tank and couldn't believe that it was pieced back together so well, good job!

Pandorax Map
Can you get a larger and more legible version of the planetary map from the Pandorax novel and put it on the Pythos page? If not, that's fine to. Montonius (talk) 22:12, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Pictures
Just wanted to ask so i dont get banned...Can i add pictures from wallpaper abyss on this wiki?

Sanguinior (talk) 22:46, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

What can I help with?
First of all, I would like to thank you for serving our country by fighting tyranny in Iraq. Second, because I am not sure what is British English or American English I can't do much spelling corrections, so are there any tasks that must be relegated to lesser users?

I could use help trying to post my page. I am not sure what i did that did not meet your guidelines. Years ago i was the orginal guy whom created the Raven Guard page...lol. I could use some help. Thank You

Sanctioned Psyker
Nice work on the White Scars revision, Zach. I was wondering if you would consider producing a Sanctioned Psyker page as your next piece of work? It's an unusual missing hole in our psyker pages. I believe there might even be a page on it in the Only War books, which would provide a great template. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 15:00, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Primaris Psyker
Wonderful Sanctioned Psyker page, Zach, really first class. Thank you. Can you now do one for the Primaris Psyker to finish out the topic? Thanks. Montonius (talk) 15:10, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Blogs
That is very odd. It is very likely just a glitch. I would imagine it would correct itself, as the others do. If you discover that other things are missing or that your other blog pages get deleted, that may be a hacker attack. If it keeps happening, please tell me and I will inform the proper wikia authorities. However, it is most likely just a glitch. I hope you were able to recover the Horus heresy blog intact, there were priceless entries on there that I can't replicate since I added them as I found them missing, LOL. I would suggest backing up both the Horus Heresy and Space Marines blogs to a hard copy Word document just in case, and any other of your personal content that you want to protect. Montonius (talk) 17:24, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Land Raider Phobos
The Mark IIb Land Raider Phobos page was properly named; please do not revert the changes. The Land Raider Phobos title is properly redirected to the standard Land Raider page, because it is simply the alternate name of the standard pattern, as the page's own introduction explains. The Mark IIb would be considered a separate vehicle under our encyclopedic system, and as VforVendetta suggested, if you are going to create a page for the Mark IIb, you should also create one for that other variant that he mentioned. As I did not wish to delete your excellent work on the page and then just add its information to the general Land Raider page as just a variant of the standard mark Land Raider Phobos, I renamed it in accord with our system and restored the redirect for the Land Raider Phobos to the standard Land Raider page, which is where it belonged under our system. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 17:29, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Fire Hawks Land Raider Proteus Image
Can you check the Land Raider Proteus Orlandra image you added to the gallery of the Fire Hawks' page? While the image is there when clicked upon, it is not resolving correctly in the galaxy view. Perhaps a fresh scan is needed. Montonius (talk) 19:43, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Imperial Armour Two 2nd Edition
I actually had found a copy of Imperial Armour Volume Two 2nd Edition a few days ago and that's why I'm updating so many pages, I forgot to tell you yesterday, but thank you for sending me a link, I appreciate it! I'd also like to thank you for updating so many of my vehicle pages, I'm going to try to keep up from now on, I should have time enough today to finish the rest, hoepfully.

Also, do you think you can work your magic on the Contemptor Dreadnought picture on pages 134-135 in The Fall of Orpheus? I think it would make a great picture to put at the beginning of the page. Thanks!

Sanguinior (talk) 12:39, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Few things
1) The new White Dwarf magazine needs to be referenced in the Sources section using this nomenclature: This is standard sourcing format for magazines using number and date. I personally hate the new White Dwarf, and feel its pretty useless as a source now that they have turned it into a giant advertisement for new products. However, if you do use something from it, please use the above nomenclature for the sourcing.
 * White Dwarf 5 (March 01, 2014) (UK), "Codex: Imperial Knights", pp. 5-51, 62-65, 67-68, 73

2) Miriael Sabathiel. Jesus, I hate this freaking article. It's been a problem since we inherited it from the old form of the wiki. As you were the primary author for the current version, please go over it and check the sourcing and remove the parts that are not canon. The guy who ripped it apart was right to point out the problem, but did so in an unacceptable way. If we can't get confirmed what parts are real and what parts are not canon, I will simply strip the article down to what is present on the Lexicanum. However, as you did good work on this page, I'd like to preserve whatever is still canon. I believe a lot of the article comes from the Dark Millennium card game and the graphic novel; those are the sources we should rely on I believe. I have neither, however, and so I can't make the changes. Thanks.

3) Codex: Imperial Knights. I would wait on doing any further additions to the Imperial Knights page until the Codex comes out and we secure a copy. The new information will lead to whole new pages being added to the wiki for the new Knight Houses and Knight Worlds described in the book. I hope you get a copy, this Codex represents a real departure for Games Workshop from the previous ones in the 6th Edition and really opens up a neglected area of the Warhammer 40k universe.

4) Imperial Armour Volume Two should use this nomenclature when being referenced:
 * Imperial Armour Volume Two (Second Edition) - War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes, pg. 17

5) While Sanguinor's Hive Crone page was fine in the first wto sections fo content, you need to make sure that the Biomorphs section contains the appropriate weapons information from the codex if you are going to let an untested user produce such important pages. Please see the changes I made; this is what you have to do if you are going to let him do these pages.

As always Thanks! Montonius (talk) 18:09, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Bolter ammunition
Hi, I see you undid my edit on the Bolter Ammunition page, where I changed  the material in the penetrator from depleted deuterium to depleted uranium. I think my edit was right, as deuterium is nothing more than a hydrogen atom (proton + electron) whith a neutron added, which I suppose makes it the second lightest element in existance (after hydrogen). I'm not a chemist, so I'm not sure, but I suppose that its natural state is as a gas, which would take huge energy to compress to a liquid or solid (think about liquid nitrogen), which seems improbable for the grimdark 40K, and which makes it absolutely useless as a penetrator. Instead, as you probably know (seeing that you're a veteran, so you most certainly know more on the subject), DU is the main material used in composite rigid penetrators, such as those fired from the 30 mm GAU-8, and on top of that, it says on most other pages of this wiki that the penetrator is uranium, not deuterium (even on the same page, for the Kraken round). Lastly on the Rogue Trade core rulebook says the round contains a "superdense metal core", so most probaly uranium, not deuterium. Seeing as I do not have a user page, you might want to answer under here, I'll come back to check tomorrow. Sorry for the long post, I just try to be as exhaustive as possible.

Hi, I'm still waiting for an answer, in the meantime I won't edit the page, or it wil just get reverted. Cheers, 87.21.121.41 21:44, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

Some bugs...
The shorcut of the zombie link at the Vampire article leads to nowhere, not even to the Plague Zombies... it's a loop...

And one more thing, The Chaos Space Marine Warband of the Brotherhood of Lethe, who were formerly a "judged" Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of the Crusaders of Dorn. Can't we just assume that they are the successors of Primarch Rogal Dorn, and the inheritors of the Imperial Fists Legion? Is it needed to be right down by the GW that they may be a successor chapter of Imperial Fists? Or we can add that?

Astral Knights Color Scheme/Info
Hello I was just wondering if you could put a color scheme out for the Astral Knights they are my favorite chapter so far. And possibly get more out about there successor chapter not sure what they are called but I know there is one they have 2 white swords crossing and a black background behind them. Black and white is the successor chapters color scheme. 173.202.207.3 02:18, March 20, 2014 (UTC)Bastion Breaker

Re: Astral Knights Colour Scheme
To answer your questions, the Astral Knights chapter colour scheme is not listed in any known official canon sources that I'm aware of. As far as the mysterious chapter with the crossed white swords and sable coloured background, that sounds like the Sable Swords Space Marine Chapter. According to official canon, "The Sable Swords Chapter were created following the valiant sacrifice of the entirety of the Astral Knights Chapter to stop the threat of a massive Necron World Engine on the outskirts of the Danorra System in 926.M41."

Hope this helps!

Miriael Sabathiel
Zach, I'm sorry to bother you with this while you are busy with the Immperial Knights, but could you please make a redo of the Miriael Sabathiel page your next agenda item when you are finished with the Knight Houses? I keep getting bitched at about it and the Lexicanum unfortunately does not actually have a page on her that I can use to check the sources against. It would really help me out if you could check the sourcing of the article and remove whatever is not canon since you were prime author of it. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 02:46, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

Editing
Hey Algrim i just got my hands on Warhammer 40k Index Chaotica Volume I and i was wondering since it contains new informations about some chaos troops (plauge marines etc.) can i edit them? I'm asking this because i dont want to get banned? And i advance thank you for answering my question :D

Imperial Knights
Hey Zach, before moving on to other things, there are still several Imperial Knights topics that need to be completed, including separate pages for the Throne Mechanicum, the Ritual of Becoming and the Sacristan. Each of these is red-linked on the main page and needs it own page, and any other items that are redlinked on the page that I have forgotten to mention need their own page as well. I also think we need pages for the Reaper Chainsword, the Thermal Lance and the Ion Shield which are the new weapons created by the Imperial Knights Codex. Next, there are still many red-linked Knight Houses on the page. I realise you may have added all the information that we have on these houses, but if there is any more on the ones that are still red-linked, they each need their own page, just all the other ones that have been created.

Secondly, I would hold off on adding the Horus Heresy book 3 stuff until the book is actually in hand, otherwise, it tends to create situations where we go over the same material over and over. Lets finish up the IK stuff completely, before moving on. Thanks, and great work! Montonius (talk) 05:06, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Algrim, can I know any rules for the Wiki!! Want to make sure I dont screw up:)

Eternal Crusade needs support.
Hi Algrim,

First, I'm sorry if this post is not legit here. Then thank you for your great contributions, I have been using this site as reference for years.

To the point, I don't know if you ever heard of up comming MMO game called Eternal Crusade (if you know this game ignore my post), it's a MMOTPS being developed base on War 40k universe, 4-ways war between 4 major factions. If you are interested in video game like this please read on, otherwise ignore my post (again)

The development team very friendly and stay true to transparancy. They want to create 40k universe as close to the lore as possible. For the first time we can role-playing as our beloved Space Marine. Lead level designer is current looking for resources to expand his art library, especially Imperium architecture/building. I notice you have hugh collection of War 40k images. I ask for your help so we can support developers to make our universe comes to life. You can contact the lead designer directly, they're all very open, here is the link

http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/what-are-your-favorite-concept-art-pieces-of-the-imperium.7105/

Thanks.

123.20.85.228 18:53, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Zach, feel free to contact them to make them aware of our site if you so choose, but be aware the developers of Eternal Crusade have a direct link to GW. I very much doubt they need any images from us for modelling purposes. LOL. Montonius (talk) 19:03, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

How do you do add a hyper link to a caption?

Few Things
Hey Zach, nice work on the Horus Heresy upgrades. Just a few things:

1) We need a page for the First Battle of Paramar, the campaign described in the Extermination book.

2) We need a page for the Moritat or whatever they are called mentioned on the Raven Guard page, as there was no explanation of what that unit is.

3) Lets make sure we got all the images of the Imperial Fists Astartes from the book on their page; I think you may have done this, just want to make sure. I'd also like to see some images fo the weapons from those pages in the book as well added as sep[arate images to the Imperial Fists page.

4) Make sure the new information about the Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors Primarchs (Alpharius and Perturabo) on their Legion pages is also added to their individual pages (I've edited both of these so you can just cut and paste the relevant sections if you have not already done so).

Thanks. Montonius (talk) 12:37, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Possible Category
Hey, I'm new here, but I wanted to know if this is a good category to make. "Materials", which would include things like Necrodermis, Wraithbone, Diamantine, Mor'tonium, etc. As a way of getting those things together for those who might want to just find those as they are cross-faction.

I can very very easily be wrong. This is just an idea and I want to run it by you.

Source for planet Angelis being called "Gorkamorka" ?
This is probably going to sound silly but I've yet to find a single canonical source that refers to the planet Angelis as "Gorkamorka". It's the planet the game was set on, sure, but nothing in any of the books associated with it call the planet that. There could be something hidden away in one of the more modern codices or rulebooks but I've never seen anything. I removed that bit of the article because as far as I can tell it's an assumption someone made and put on Lexicanum's wiki. From there it's just been taken as canonical, even though (again, as far as I know!) it's not.

Gorkamorka is kinda my passion so if there's a source I've overlooked I'd love to hear about it so I can add it to the list of sources. Sorry for any inconvenience caused :(

Flamekebab (talk) 22:15, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Source for planet Angelis being called "Gorkamorka" ?


 * ..it is currently listed as a Xenos World by the Imperium, and therefore often referred to by its unofficial name, Gorkamorka.

How does that make sense? The "unofficial" name is what players who aren't familiar with the fiction call it, not what the dominant Xenos species call it. There is no Xenos name for it. Furthermore the quote you cite only makes sense if one presupposes that the planet is now called "Gorkamorka", which, as we both agree, it isn't. On the other hand in all of the following sources the planet is exclusively referred to as "Angelis": As I said before, I haven't found a single official source that uses "Gorkamorka" as the planet name, they all use the Imperial designation. As far as I can tell it's just a misconception that no one else has taken the time to look into. With regards to sources, why is Da Necron Rayd cited as a source? It's non-canonical. It was written by Andrew Mcaleer when he was 13 and submitted to the Citadel Journal. The concepts presented in it aren't wrong but that doesn't make it a citable source. It was my understanding that articles weren't based on fan fiction but official sources and so I removed it. I see you reverted it but perhaps with a little more explanation you will better understand why I did it :)
 * Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (2004, ISBN 1841545066), pg.78
 * Warhammer 40,000 4th Edition Rulebook (2004, ISBN 184154468X), pg.183
 * Codex: Space Marines (4th Edition)(2005, ISBN 1-84154-526-0), pg.74
 * Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition Rulebook (2008, ISBN 978-1841548753), pg.181

I'm not here only to criticise though! XD Here's a dated and sourced timeline of Angelis' history. Perhaps some of the material in it should be added to the article.

Flamekebab (talk) 12:29, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Source for planet Angelis being called "Gorkamorka" ? :

Hi, I've just seen that my edits have been reverted again and so rather than get into a silly edit war I thought it best to come straighten things out and explain myself. So, first off, I figured perhaps I was messing something up with regards to how this wiki is supposed to work, so to the help pages I went! Unfortunately they didn't help, as far as I can tell my edits were totally kosher.

I removed the reference to Andrew Mcaleer's fan made Gorkamorka scenario in Gubbinz, issue 1 because of this wiki's rules about canonicity:


 * It is very important that all articles on this wiki be sourced and that ONLY officially published canon materials taken from the above approved sources be used to create articles. Fan-created works are fun and sometimes of high quality, but they have no place on this wiki.

Da Necron Rayd is specifically not canon any more than Ork Bladerz are canon. I also checked the Allowable Content Guide:


 * Fan-made Space Marine Chapters, xenos, characters, concepts, equipment and campaigns are not covered by this wiki and such material will be removed immediately and without notice by the wiki's Administrators when found. 

So instead of removing them again, here I am. I've now brought it to your attention that the content being cited is fan made. Hopefully this particular point can be laid to rest and the citation removed without further reverts.

On a similar note, I really don't want the inclusion of Codex Necrons (3rd Ed.) to become a point of contention between us. The report on page 32 is a reprint of the content of Da Uvver Book (1997). The only difference is the addition of the author's signature. Here is a side by side comparison to back up this claim. As far as I understand how sources work the original is the document to cite, not subsequent reprints, but of course I could be wrong. I'm sorry about my continued obsession with Angelis, I know it must be a right pain in the neck! :)

Flamekebab (talk) 00:25, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Update on the issue: page 16 of Da Uvver Book there's this:

"They call them Diggas because they dig underground to avoid the burning double suns of Gorkamorka."

There's an official source on the issue. It also looks like there might be an article in Spanish White Dwarf that reworks Da Necron Rayd making "Ataque Necron" a citable source: http://descansodelescriba.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/necrones-en-gorkamorka-y-en-castellano.html even if Da Necron Rayd is only fan fiction.

Admins
Hey Algrim, do you know how this 'Thissecretninja' guy became admin? I doubt Montonius will be happy with this at all, nor have I seen any activity from him on this wiki to warrant him becoming a admin.

Keys to the Kingdom
I have found a way to give you all the powers of the Lead Administrator permanently, including the power to raise or demote others to that status as you see fit. You have the Keys to the Kingdom now, whatever happens to me. Montonius (talk) 18:00, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Editor
Hey Zach, be aware that there is a new editor, Thomas something, who was banned long ago for making structural changes to the wiki without permission but who was allowed back in the wake of the leniency granted a few years ago. He is back, and recently asked to begin altering infoboxes and the achievements system. I said no and explained that we are currently creating content and will not be making structural changes at this time, especially as it means you or Shas'o'Kais would constantly have to watch every move he made. If he comes to you about it, please tell him the same thing. Thanks. Montonius (talk) 09:38, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Deathwatch Errors
Hello,

I got a messge on my talk page saying to give you a message if I need any help, I noticed some errors on the Deathwatch page but cannot edit them. I created a Talk item on there as I wasn't sure where else to ask for help, here's the problems I found: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Deathwatch#Deathwatch_Wiki_errors.2C_I_cannot_edit.

NeilNand (talk) 07:23, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Big Problem
Before he was kicked out again, thissecretninja left us a gift; he illegally raised Thomaslove92 to bureaucrat status! The only way this can be rectified is if Thomaslove voluntarily relinquishes the status. Unfortunately I have no time for this right now, so please deal with this situation as you deem best. I would probably begin by politely asking him to relinquish the bureaucrat status; if he refuses, you can point out that this status was unearned and was provided by a hacker; if he still refuses or does not reply, please contact wikia and make clear to them what happened. They are the only ones who can then repeal the status. If they refuse to take action, I may have to recreate the wiki and simply reappoint you and Shas'o as admins and then just have you steal our own content; the wiki simply cannot function in this manner as things stand, as everyone can simply keep appointing new admins at will, and then the entire structure will completely collapse. A good contact on wikia staff to start with is JoePlay, who has helped us before with various issues. Email me about the situation if you can find a resolution. Montonius ( talk ) 10:32, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

re: Removing Bureaucratic Access
Hi Algrim. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble. The Community Support Team, who I just asked about this, handles this kind of issue, so please inform them of the situation using the form at Special:Contact/general. Someone from the team will respond and help resolve the situation. Keep up the great work!

admin rights
Hey, I know that my having bureaucrat rights was unjustified. I'm sure that Wikia will remove them shortly but I wanted to put your mind at ease. After I received my new status I sought out permission from the most senior editor I could find, before I began edits again. When Montonius decided not to support my ideas I did not press it any further. You'll notice that since then I have made no changes and I have no intention to disrupt this wiki. I understand that my right need to be removed, but I never asked for them and I have not abused them. I want what is best for the wiki and if you need me to talk to Wikia to speed up the process just let me know. -Thomas Love http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/jackass/images/5/5f/Star_tiny.png [ talk ] 02:23, May 9, 2014 (UTC)

Resolution
Excellent work on resolving the problem, Zach. You're really growing into the Lead Admin role. Here's how to resolve this easily as Thomas seems willing, to his credit. He has to go to the Admin tool bar at the bottom of his screen, click on it, and then select the button marked "User Rights." He then types in his user name, and simply unchecks the box marked "Bureaucrat" under the heading "Groups you can change." Then that problem is solved. Additionally, I think you are right to ask wikia to remove the admin rights from all other inactive admins from before the refounding in 2010, and I fully support your initiative to see that happen from the wikia staff. Please send Thomas a nice thank-you and my best regards for being so willing to relinquish the unearned status, and please keep me updated as events progress. Thanks so much for dealing with this unfortunate hassle.

P.S.

You can simply direct Thomas to the below link if he is unfamiliar with the system I mentioned above. At that link, he should be able to deselect the bureaucrat box.
