I've been starting to dissect messages on a different wiki, and might as well do the same here LOL:

Licensed Video Swap is an admin access page, so I can't access it on CCSW. Nusdan and I will proceed with these video replacements soon enough. Just clearing up a few things here and there. I guess you will know how it works when the page actually comes to use. Whenever Wikia finds a higher quality video than the one we are using, the video will show up there. After reviewing the video, you would just click, "swap video," and the videos will swap. The old one will be automatically deleted, and the new one will be inserted. Nice page, I think.

That voting room was an awesome idea. I want to follow up on an aspect of it, which I will catch you in the chat for. Sure! You just happened to catch me on the time I'm not active on chat because my parents are monitoring me on what I do (which should be work), and I'm typing this response in broken English.

UserTags are another thing I hope to get to soon enough. I'm not a fan of using the feature for stylistic purposes, though, and rather for functional purposes as what few things are currently configured like the Bureaucrat, New Editor and Inactive tags. What's your opinion? My home wiki has always used UserTags for styling purposes, so I've been pretty used to seeing them all styled up. Some wikis actually change the color of the tag, but that's maybe too much. But all wikis run differently. I guess things are fine the way they are right now.

My Maple Leaf Rag is coming along. Yes, the fourth section was pretty easy, just got to improve on accuracy. I've also gotten better at the trio, although, I'd be interested in how you go about, in the trio, that break in the left hand where semiquavers are played, transitioning from that to the next part. It seems to be me the most fidgety bit in the piece (around 1:47 on my profile's YouTube template). Yes, that part was the most difficult for me because the hand jumps for over an octave or two. I always think about playing the bottom notes since those actually change, and then the top notes fit comfortably for the hand. Also, remember Joplin never intended for his rags to be played this fast, although everyone does these days. Even taking the whole rag slower wouldn't be a problem.

Your putting this song on your user page inspired me to try to play this piece again. I couldn't for the life find the music anywhere at home (probably buried underneath tons of music), so I listened to the song enough to be able to fake it on the piano. Here's my shot at it. Notice how I don't take the tempo as fast as a train wreck, and I try to hide the left hand as much as possible. It's FULL of fakes.

But this is a serious recording. I called a piano technician to actually untune my piano (make it flat by about 4 cents) to play it. :)

And speaking of the YouTube template, that too I will get to fixing, although for now I'm locked out of the MediaWiki pages so won't be able to. An update just came out with this template to make it look nicer. Check my userpage on CCSW] to see how it looks. It's not much different, but it does have more features.

A Wikia staff member added this 'ParentPage' thing. I wouldn't have thought that the nature of Geometry Dash might discourage parents from allowing their kids to play it. For that reason, I question keeping it. I currently don't see a purpose in the page as it reiterates information found on our home page, the Geometry Dash page, and the Geometry Dash Lite page. I would delete it if the page becomes "orphaned." If we should keep it, maybe we should make the page look nicer, because right now, it's kinda...gross and disgusting. That's something I can do on my own time, and you can take a look at it later.

I also wanted to introduce a few new pages to this wiki - maybe some you may like. However, I feel that there are so many highlights from this wiki alone that I've decided to wait on this and bring it up when the number of highlights fade. So if you see the next highlight by me (that's not the next forum game), don't click that "mark all as read button!
