AaronR: Note that the image links I put on the "Robocode Documentation" pages are temporary. I will replace these with uploaded images later. My first priority is to add all documentations. Second priority is "goal plate" the pages. But anybody is welcome to replace the links with uploaded images. ;-) --Flemming N. Larsen 11:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, I wasn't sure what pattern you are following. I was going to update this page anyway, and I need to remove one of the items from the list to make room for a new item, so I'll remove the Robocode Documentation one and let you work in peace. ;) --

Just saying hi quickly

News section, or the lack of such
I am wondering.. where do we have a News section? I should at least want a page about news, which again contains a link with "Robocode News", and other people should provide links to interesting stuff on the News page for other matters. So, where should we put it? --Fnl 22:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Right here! I believe that was the point of this page. At present, it only contains the contents of {{CurrentEventsShort}}, but that isn't mandatory (the template version is just a summary of events for the Main Page, hence the name CurrentEventsShort). « AaronR « Talk « 20:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- This page now has a separate list from the Main Page, so you can add all the news you want to it. =) By the way, does anyone else think it might be a good idea to move this page into the project namespace (i.e. RoboWiki:Current events)? « AaronR « Talk « 21:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Anonymous edits
Yikes, I see that this page is getting hit by a constant flow of wikispam. I'll be turning off anonymous edits (finally) soon to combat this. --Voidious 15:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Kiddies with public tattoo ink
I've often heard tattoo artists rant about people getting visible tattoos (hands, neck) the moment they hit 18 before they have other work. Recently I discovered a rant on quite a respected figure in the tattoo community's Myspace. I say rant, it was more like pure venomous hatred. It would seem that some find young people with visible ink, impatient and disrespectful, and they must all just think it's cool to have visible work. I'm 23, My first tattoo was on my shoulder, then my wrists, then I got a full sleeve. Then I moved to my hands, then neck and I also have a large part of my leg tattooed. It took me about two years to get the opportunity to get my hand tattooed by my idol, and then my neck by an artist I greatly admire, a lot of time, effort and thought was put into both of these. Even though I'm somewhat older and do have a fair bit of coverage, I might still be classed as young and "under-tattooed" to have such visible work, and I can't help but think that's kinda crazy! Sure I've seen some 18 year olds with kanji on their necks or poorly executed skulls on their hands, and you can almost tell they rushed into it, wanting everyone to see their new work as clearly as possible, and fine that to me is impatient and maybe even attention seeking. Basically what I'm trying to say is that not everyone who has visible work is disrespectful to the art, some people invest a great deal of time, money and effort into getting that particular location inked with the highest standard work possible. It's kinda funny to find prejudice within a community that tries so hard to divert it away from itself.
Thoughts?
