New Page
I've just archived the old page, at last! Mmm, feel that room! Have a stretch! Smell that new page smell! Dab 08:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Mmm, smells nice. Dragonfree 9 7 09:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Main Page- Week 5
I think we'll have to just miss out this week, and change everything next week. Any really good suggestions will be carried through to next week. Please link to your suggestion when appropriate.

Featured Article Suggestions
Criteria- Well presented (no writing hanging over pictures, headings and paragraph necessary) Useful pictures Grammar and spelling checked Complete information (no assumptions, inclusion of all games where appropriate)

Suggestions- If you agree with another's suggestion, please say so.
 * 1) Any pages from Forum:Project_Furniture could be considered?
 * We've had a featured furniture article quite recently, so unless we're stumped, we'll run it in a couple of weeks.


 * 1) When you get back to furniture, Dharma Set contains some interesting info on real-world stuff too so I think it should be featured! -Fleurione 21:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I do like the dharma page- We'll run this next wednesday, as I only put Painting up on Sunday. Dab 17:04, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Perhaps Cherry Blossom Festival, with a bit more work? Like how the festival is celebrated elsewhere, and if anyone can get their hands on the GCN version, perhaps what Tortimer says about it when you talk to him?  I had this thought the other day when I saw cherry blossom falling in the sky on my way to work, I can try and get a real-life pic of it too :) -Fleurione 21:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Featured Media Suggestions
Criteria- High quality image Must belong to a page Corresponding page must have substantial information

Suggestions- If you agree with another's suggestion, please say so.

Poll Suggestions
Criteria- Must be interesting ! Make sure everyone can respond to the question Relevant to Animal Crossing.

Suggestions- If you agree with, or have a slight modification to another's suggestion, please say so. 1) How many AC games have you got? 1. 0 2. 1 3. 2 4. 3 5. All of them! Shall we run this one next week? Dab
 * Sounds alright to me. -Fleurione

Successful applications will be featured on the main page for a week, starting on Wednesday.

Monitoring Pages
I'm also going to check how frequently people visit the featured article & featured media before & after being put on the main page; this way, we can see if we can put up pages that are good, but aren't being viewed. Dab 09:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Exotic Series- 174 End of the week- 475 (nearly triple) Grass Deterioration-391 End of the week- 740 (nearly double)

That's really good!

I forgot to check this week, but I can tell you that weather didn't receive as many visitors in four months as it has done this week! Dab

Week 4

Fishing 1041 (start of week) Diaries and Journals 122 (start of week)

Userboxes
Does anyone have any more suggestions for userboxes? I've compiled a list of them here so that people can see all of them. I don't think there'll be much demand for the 'Russian' template, but hopefully the 'series' and 'music' ones will get a lot of use! Dab 09:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I do like the Animal-Crossing specific ones :) -Fleurione 15:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Go cabana series! I think I'll make a bug one, too. Dab 16:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

If only we could have unlockable userboxes, like ones you get upon doing a certain number of edits, contributing on certain days or at certain times of day. Oh well! By the way, I've also done some more userboxes- fish & bugs this time. Dab 10:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you do me (us) one for 'Member of Project Furniture' :) I think the classic chair would be a good image to have.. -Fleurione 16:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You're in luck, I have one sitting in my wardrobe (???). I'll have it ready for tomorrow- I think it will look good at a 45 degree centrally zoomed in position- good choice of furniture, as it's quite angular, and therefore easy to cut out. Have you noticed, everyone seems to like the cabana series! Dab 18:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Here we go! I'm not sure if it's what you want, but I can always change it- it only took me ten minutes to do the whole thing, at the very most. I thought the colour scheme went well with the chair, and I chose the 'furniture fan' to mirror the 'Fishing fan' and 'bug fan' ones. Anyway, it's up to you.
 * It's great! I was thinking a specific Project Furniture one to add to our pages to show our allegience, but I like this one as a fan box as well.  And yeah, everyone loves Cabana - how strange! -Fleurione 16:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, right! I'll use a picture of the lucky gold cat that was in the background of the classic chair picture, and co-ordinate its colours with the 'favourite series' userbox. Dab 16:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Here are the other ones, by the way! Dab 12:16, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Go Cabana! Didn't someone post a link to a userbox making site somewhere? I tried to find it but couldn't. Dragonfree 9 7 12:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Erm, try here. Perhaps it's here? Dab 12:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Poll
Just for the record, I would vote for Phyllis if I could. The poll doesn't seem to want to let me... Who did everyone else vote for? Dab 10:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Tortimer, because I like him dressing up as Cornimer etc :D It wouldn't let me vote the first time, but I went and did it again and clicked on the 'vote' button twice and it eventually recorded my vote. -Fleurione 16:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it's great seeing how many people have voted in the poll! It shows we have at least 120 people come across this page! -Fleurione 11:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Well actually, I forced my friend to vote for me as I couldn't! I ought to do that every week...! Which reminds me, I think I'll run the 'favourite personality' poll on wednesday. I think my friend might be voting 'cranky'... Dab 12:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cranky, eh? Me also :D -Fleurione 12:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 1stly, you missed off brewster and Celeste, also, you should also have 1 option saying something like "None" or "none of the above" and/or "all of the above"-- J i  m t a  l  k ! 14:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You can't have everyone as your favourite! The original list only contained a few characters, and (I think) currently only contains characters seen in all the games, hence 'recurring'. Anyway, it's too late to change it, as this results in all votes being erased. Dab 17:13, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Userboxes
I'd also like to say that for userboxes that anyone can use, Animal Crossing City:Userboxes and it's subpages are the places to go. to create your own userboxes, use Template:Userbox also please note that an awesome storing device, usually used for userboxes, can be found of Animal Crossing City:Userboxes. thanks.-- J i  m t a  l  k ! 14:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh Dear!
I made a poll archive but forgot to tell anyone about it... Here it is now- Talk:Animal Crossing Wiki/Polls As long as we know how many people voted in the last poll, that would be alright. Thanks for changing the stuff, though, DF! Dab 16:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I did it last nigt, at about 11:30 pm. Dragonfree 9 7 16:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Featured Articles - Week 4
I say my page Fishing should be the featured article. Dragonfree 9 7 17:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Featured Media
I can't change this week's main page until someone suggests a good featured article, poll and media! Quickly, people! Dab 17:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have a poll idea; number of villagers in your town. --YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think so, it's rather consistent, but the number varies in every game. Dab 16:33, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Poll: How many holding ponds do you have in WW? Let's try (if it can be done - sandbox testing) to include a link in every poll. See ya, Dragonfree 9 7  Or maybe talk to me later, or now? 17:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

?
What's happened to the Animal crossing Wiki page? It's broken... Too busy revising to fix, sorry...-- J i  m t a  l  k ! 16:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

New Poll
I think the new poll is slightly flawed- I've never had more than 3 ponds, and the poll doesn't include people that only play City Folk. Also, all media should be suggested and agreed upon before being put up.
