Copyvio
Can you clarify the source of the articles you're creating such as Bound spirit and Envoy? Were they created as copies of GuildWiki, or did you get the text from an ArenaNet source? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

No, sorry. A friend was around at my house, he's frequently on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure where he got the info. It may well be a full copy from GuildWiki. (Sorry if I'm doing this talk thing wrong, I'm new)
 * Okay, that was my concern. GuildWiki and this site use different licenses - so copying text directly from GuildWiki to here can be a copyright violation unless the GuildWiki contributors to the particular article permit thier work to be copied to this license.  For now, I'll tag those two articles as potential copyvio's, and the tag can be removed later if they are re-wwritten or an ArenaNet source of the text can be identified. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I'll make sure to log off my account next time he's on the internet at my house >.> Brendan 19:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for the info! --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, there's also a good chance my friend added the one to GuildWiki and just copied his own work, although I'm not sure. His wiki skills are about as bad as mine. Brendan 19:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The history tabs on each article mentions who contributed to them. On GuildWiki's "Bound spirit" article, all contributors to it have released their work under both that site's licence as well as this sites; but Envoy has several edits that are not under both licences, so I left that one tagged for now.
 * We all appreciate your friend's efforts to help - but, we do need to take copyright laws seriously. Just something for you and him to keep in mind for future contributions. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's safe to say I won't even be able to copy stuff, it would end up being an unformatted blob when I do it. I'll stick to uploading pictures of my PvP rewards and updating my Guild's page for now. :) Brendan 19:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Skill Trainer Article
I would always check if another article of a similar name exists first as Skill trainer already existed so the article you made is not really required. you could always edit the existing one if any of your information was different or better than that one. -- Lemming64 21:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Just found it on the list of wanted articles, so I made it. Sorry. Brendan 14:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
