Hey Buddy
Hey Buddy, just here for a few edits. Won't be a regular thing right now, unfortunately. You've done a truly wonderful job keeping the place up in my absence and enforcing the rules we worked so hard to lay down. Thanks for that.

Just one thing; in future, please let me know if you're gonna add someone new to the staff (i.e., Zixis).

Keep up the good work! Montonius (talk) 02:26, November 9, 2015 (UTC)

Sources and Superscript
Hi Algrim, I noticed that you were letting Voodoo's superscripting of the st/nd/th in the editions of sources slide. Is this something that you think should become standard or should we stick with the old way?

I rather not have to through every page on the wiki and superscript all the sources...

--&#61;&#61;Shas&#39;o&#39;Kais&#61;&#61; (talk) 03:23, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Hi there,

sorry for that! I used automatic replacements and didn't notice, that it also applied to the sources. If you want me to, I will take back any changes to the sources that i made. Just leave a message.

chaos space marine legions
Hiho,

what point is ther ein that category, that ius not already filled with "chaos space marines"?

The CSML category should include as the text says: "This category contains all pages related to the Chaos Space Marine Traitor Legions and all known Chaos Space Marine warbands."

The CSM category goes for "This category contains all pages related to theChaos Space Marines of the Traitor Legions and other Renegade warbands who have forsaken the light of the Emperor for the service of the Ruinous Powers."

why do we have a redundant category?Neithan02 (talk) 00:08, December 6, 2015 (UTC)

Numeral Endings
I would prefer to leave them there as well, but according to Montonius' last visit http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Vengeful_Spirit?diff=prev&oldid=254926 http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor_of_Mankind?diff=prev&oldid=254924 They aren't meant to be there.

I won't remove/change anymore in future until you get a chance to discuss this with Montonius though.

Un-Relenting?
Hail Algrim,

I see you just undid one of my changes. I'd like to to know why, because the sentence doesn't make sense to me that way ... "There was no mercy and no unrelenting in the Death Guard's punishment." Why is it UNrelenting? Unrelenting according to definition is "used to describe someone who does something in a constant and determined way without stopping or becoming less forceful". So why should there be NO unrelenting in the Death Guard's punishment, if there is also no mercy? Would make much more sense to me, if there was no relenting, which is "growing weak". Certainly the Death Guard did never do that ...

Contact
This is Gary from Faeit 212, also known as Natfka. I run Faeit 212, and wanted to make contact, simply because I want to support 40k wiki and make 40k wiki the primary source of 40k information for the site. Mostly this means linking back to you on any articles where my readers can follow up any information that is relevant to the article. Something like this.....

"Additional information on the Badab War can be found on the 40k wiki (followed by a link)"

Faeit 212 sees between 3.5 to 5 million views a month. I wanted to reach out introduce myself, and see if there is any way solidify my support for 40k wiki over any others out there.

My contact email is natfka@live.com

The decision is ultimately up to you (and Montonius if you can get a hold of him), but this idea has my wholesale support Algrim and I hope that it comes through.

Hi Algrim, What's up? I am curious, is there any chance that Silberstich can make it to the Top Users list? He has already proven himself to be a skilled editor, who is able to add articles and data more effectively than other young contributers.

I think he deserves it.

Idea/contact
Hello My name is Alpharious Omegon I decided that what we need is another WarHammer game that takes a different turn and follows lore perfectly, I was hoping that you can assist me. So far the easiest thing I've found is in Garry's Mod. So far I have a map that's been set up originally for another Roleplay but was originally a Warhammer 40k Roleplay that I am in the midst of renovating (very time consuming.)I was wondering if you would assist me in this endeavor and see who else wants to do this. My goal is to make multiple servers. One for different times in the Warhammer 40k universe. Right now the map I have is being turned into a 13th dark crusade map. I have a whole list of goals for this and ultimately want these servers to exist so that way who ever has the urge to slay some black legion or join the death Korp and act it out can do it. If you want to assist let me know here's my contact info. Just email me at dusk19860@gmail.com if you want to help out or have any ideas and or advice please let me know. I have a high belief this can help the wiki out and would be mutually benifit eachother if we can get people from the wiki on.

Permission to edit Space Wolves & Iron Hands page
Hello Algrim.

I wanted to take a break from all the Raven Guard themed novels and novellas I’ve been rereading in preparation on Nykona Sharrowkyn and I’ve just finished Wolf King. As you have no doubt seen I have included additional informations from that novel on the Dark Angel’s pages and will do the same for the Alpha Legion, but as far as Space Wolves are concerned - and them being your favorites - I wanted to ask permission first befor I act. Would you be ok with me adding info from Wolf King or would you like to do it by yourself?

On another matter, as I am going through Angel Exterminatus I came along some pieces of informations that are not included on the Iron Hands page. For previous additions I simply posted it in the comment sections as they were pretty much always stand-alone and independent paragraph and you simply added it to the main page... wouldn’t it simplify things a lot if you gave me permission to edit the Iron Hands page directly?

Thanks for your time,

Silberstich (talk) 15:01, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Ave Imperator!
I may have stopped actively editing but I never stopped lurking! I have little time on my hands nowadays but someday I would like to try and catch up on my pages, (un)fortunately it doesn't look like Forge World will be slowing down any time soon! At least it's relatively easy to keep up with the Black Library releases though.

Eldrad Ulthran
Hey Algrim, what's up? There this guy Eldrad Ulthran that keeps erasing the Guardians from the Ulthwé Forces content of the Ulthwé Craftworld page. He has already done it several times. I've added the Guardians back to the page.

If he will delete them again, then I think that you will have a good reason to ban him.

Skitarii Category?
Hi! I was just looking over some skitarii content and it occured to me that there was no category for the Skitarii. I realize their presence on the wiki is still relatively light, but they do have the main Skitarii page and several forge world pages which involve them deeply (Lucius, Metalica, Ryza, Mars, etc), some unit pages also seem to be in the works. I do see however how tags like Adeptus Mechanicus could be enough for these. So, just thought I'd ask, as always thanks for the smooth administration.

DivusMechanicus (talk) 17:00, February 15, 2016 (UTC) DivusMechanicus

About the Ironstrider Ballistarii, I think the coding thing happened because I pasted it over form word where I orginally wrote it. And It completly slipped my mind to add categories, sorry. Do you want me to continue adding page on the Adeptus Mechanicus because I am more than happy to. DantiochDantioch (talk) 21:39, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

thank you for letting me continue my work on the Adeptus M next I aim to do the Sicarian Infiltrators. In regards to missing info do you want me to basicly copy what it says in the codex onto the article. Like you said I will message you once I think I have finished and proof read it.

 * Thallax Images
 * Death Guard Thallax - Horus Heresy 4 Conquest - Around pp 210Usolkan
 * Thallax - Horus Heresy 5 Tempest - pp 222


 * Castellax Images
 * Iron Warriors Castellax - Horus Heresy 3 Extermination - p before afterword

 * Cohort Magenim Castellax - Horus Heresy 5 Tempest - p 136
 * Taghmata Xerxes Castellax - Horus Heresy 5 Tempest - p 137

if they are not yet uploaded, can you or someone else upload some of those nice good quality images when you have some free time to dress up the Thallax and castellax pages respectively

Warhammer 40k
Hello, I'm quite new to this serie that is so facinating and I would love to know more about it (by the wiki I can get it), but I would love to know more ways to lear more such as comics and books. Can you send something about it to me (link if possible or know)?

For some reason I can’t edit the Iron Hands page as it is somehow protected against editing and I don’t want to mess with the source. Could you indicate me what steps to take or to whom I shall speak to clarify things?

Red Templars origins
No problems. It is just that the data on the White Templars says that they and the Red Templars may be the successors of the Black Templars. I took that data and added it to that of the Red Templars (though I am not sure about the sources).

Space Marines chapters
I've to admit that i liked a lot Warhammer 40k so far. I've been playing Dawn of War II latelly on my computer and saw the problems that people have to get the right symbols to each chapter. So as I'm crazy and dont like to do small sized things (sounds so weird) I'll try to make all the chapters symbols in resolution of 2000x2000 and put the images on my profile so maybe the wiki can be the source of the images needed and wanted to players and even to maybe the producers. I would like to know what you think about it and aswell if you have any special requests.

WARHAMMER RP
Alright In Garry's mod we have opened up a a Warhammer server I'll post the link to it after this message. As of now while we are still getting new members in we have the Iron hands, black Templar, Alfa legion, 512th Cadian and the death korps. I highly recommend this game play model every one has some lore back ground it's fun and highly realistic. Help spread the word around the wiki so we can introduce the orcs,tau, and some other factions cause we do a lot of PvE. And we play on a decent sized map so please please read this over and try and try to join. We need more active players in so we can have events daily and nightly here's the link for the content pack and the website http://koggwarhammerrp.weebly.com/warhammer-40k-server.html in this link is the server ip in Gmod and the content pack you need to see the character models. So thank you sir.

Chapter symbols
Hey Algrim, I've been doing some badges already ^^ (like 6 out of 200?) and I did one specially for you that is the one from Space Wolves hand crafted by me. Keep in mind that it uses 2000x2000 resolution... so yeah is pretty.

Astral Knights
I was looking at your Pictorial List of Space Marine Chapters (A-L) page when I once again found myself reading the Astral Knights Chapter page (they're my favorite Chapter) anyways there's a short story by Graham McNeill from the Angels of Death Digital Collection called Obsidian, and it tells the story of the Astral Knights left on their homeworld of Obsidia and what happened to them after the Chapter fell.

I cannot find it anywhere and I was wondering if you could find it or if you have it, I have a russian translated version with messed up wording and punctuation (I translated it from plain text that was posted to a forum), and I'm not too good at writing or updating non-vehicle or weapon pages. Thanks.

Deceased information
Hail Algrim,

I was wondering, while reading through the Space Marine Chapter pages, if there exists a rule for the "notable characters" sections, whether or not to put a "(deceased)" after the name of every dead character. It seems pretty random across the pages. If you leave me a message, I will check for whatever you tell me, whenever I edit one of the articles. --Vo0DoO40k (talk) 12:27, March 2, 2016 (UTC)

Founding Categories
Hello Algrim. I am still unable to edit the wiki at this point in time, and as such I must respectfully ask that you help prevent other users creating any more categories for specific foundings. The categories are adding unnecessary bloat to the category system and are redundant as their purpose is already achieved by the separate founding articles.

I ask that you get in contact with the relevant editors and tell them to cease with the unauthorised category creation and, if possible, undo the addition of the new categories to all the pages that have them. I understand that the Second Founding category has already become quite large and is probably more trouble than it's worth to remove, so I am willing to let it to continue to exist -- however, everything from the 3rd Foudning and upwards has to go. Thanks in advance.

White Templars
Hi Algrim, What's up? Thanks for taking care of that picture in the Rynn's World article.

There is one small thing that bothers me. As you may know, in the novel Legion of the Damned, Zachariah Kersh mentions that during the Feast of Blades he fought a White Templar Space Marine (I assume that this is the first chapter of the novel).

If the White Templars actually participate in the Feast of Blades, then that means that they are Successors of the Imperial Fists, right?

I can't say the same about the Red Templars, but it can't be more obvious with the White Templars being a successor chapter of the Imperial Fists.

Hope you see it my way.

Ordo Tempestus
Hi Algrim! Thanks for all your help! But now I need you more than ever!

As you can see, I've created the Ordo Tempestus article from the Codex: Militarum Tempestus (6th Edition). But I need to know which data belongs in the Ordo Tempestus page and which on the Storm Troopers page. It is important since I can't select the text of the file, meaning that I will have to type everything down. I don't want to waste time adding data the won't be required in the future, so I trust that you have the codex and you will give me some tips on what to add and what not.

White Scars article access... and other things...
Hey Algrim! Sorry, I forgot to ask you for an access to the White Scars page as well. I hope that it won't be a problem...

Also, I've noticed that you've opened the Blood Angels' article for everyone to edit. Which is a good thing, since VoOdoO40k was spending sometime correcting the grammar mistakes and some other things.

One more request. Is it possible for you to give me an access for the Koronus Expanse article as well?

One last thing. I heard some users complaining that there are a lot of grammar mistakes in the timeline articles, like the M39, M36 and so one.... If you can open all of them then it will be nice.

Like with the Blood Angels and the White Scars articles, I don't believe that the level of vandalism will be high (and even if it will happen we can always undo these things). Wiki Contributors will correct the grammar mistakes and everyone will be happy!

Ave Imperator!
