Guild Wars Wiki:Admin noticeboard/Issue archive 5

User talk:Auron
and, discussing I think this edit, are getting overly hostile and aggressive. There are borderline personal attacks, if not full blown ones, too. -- pling 16:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

List of fansites‎‎
Pretty much every editor there is in violation of Guild Wars Wiki:Fansites. May need protection. Backsword 14:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

???
So nobody thought blocking  was a little out of line? 3 weeks for this? Where's the attack? But Adrin's overt attack goes unchecked? Hmm... Protect Shard and ignore Adrin? Why would Auron do that?

Ryuu Desu
called me a retard on my talk/archive page #6 so a violation of npa. - Zesbeer 06:14, 27 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Both Ryuu and Zesbeer warned by myself and Raine, Ryuu blocked by Jon after failing to drop it. - Tanetris 21:10, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

TahiriVeila
Pretty sure he shouldn't be advertising account trading and botting and stuff on his userpage, but I could be wrong. -- Armond Warblade 00:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Venomoth
When will he learn?  Koda   Kumi  21:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC) "blue-haired rebel" is just one of all the oxymorons and Venomoth kindly points out that your posts do include severe hypocrisy.
 * I only see one personal attack there and it's yours. "You are a nobody. You do not even have an identity."

"Historical" Guild Removed.... The Shamira
Logged on the other day and seen that my guild was removed, not very active but i am still in it and a handful or two... can this be reverted back?
 * Done. -- R i ddle 01:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Automated delete tagging?
The automated delete tagging for Guilds requiring cleanup doesn't seem to be be working. (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Is this an error/bug?- TheRave (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't show up on the guild page, but over at GWW:DEL. --JonTheMon 17:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Restoring page history
Can someone please move User talk:Cristianc 2 back to User talk:Cristianc and restore the edits to the last good version? Thanks! -- Wyn  talk  11:29, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you Auron :D -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  11:43, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Request to semi-protect updates
Can we semi protect today's update page? It's getting a lot of unnecessary attention (I count 3 different anons repeatedly vandalizing). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:24, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Or even better, (if possible) Have it auto semi-protect anything in the Feedback:Game_Updates namespace. ThrainUser_Thrain_Sig.png contribs 01:25, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Backsword
He's currently reverting changes that I did to bypass a redirect after a consensus merge and even replaced said merged article with a copyvio tag (which I reverted as it isn't a copyvio). -- Konig / talk 03:57, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And I have to add breaking the 1 revert policy. -- Konig / talk 04:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Make that twice. -- Konig / talk 04:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Read the license of this site. And try to achive a consensus before claiming one. Current consensus if for a split, you need to achive one for the removal of gameplahy content before you have a new one. In addition, do read 1rr before reporting people in an attempt to get your way in a content dispute. Backsword 04:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge discussion for Gwen - is later than the discussion for split. Discussion for Keiran - no opposition to merging with the draft; opposition was without the draft. -- Konig / talk 04:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * WHile we have no policy against it, moving an ongoig discussion into an archive and then claiming consensus is rather abusive. A consensus it is not. This, however, is not an admin issue. Unless you make more false acusations, you will have to take that idscussion elsewhere. Backsword 04:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is. Ignoring 1RR is, effectively, vandalism. Not to mention marking every page you disagree on with ThrainUser_Thrain_Sig.png contribs 04:39, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 1rr violations all around. Additionally, stop discussing specifics on the noticeboard - there's a talk page for a reason. If you all feel the page is safe to unprotect, I can do that at any point - it was just my first reaction to the edit warring. - Auron 05:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Can you please reactivate our guild page as we are still here if anything was deleted (prior to my edits today) as a result of being moved to historical .. if you can restore that would be great as im pretty new to this wiki editing gig many thanks

Formal complaint
This is a formal complaint against JonTheMon for wrongly, repeatedly, and knowingly extending a block (currently listed in the block as user 68.182.128.0/17) against them for circumstances beyond their control. And by repeatedly extending this block, also restricting the ability to discuss this with anyone (including people other than him) except by forcing them to bascially bypass the restriction and thereby making them have to revert to "bypassing it" to even be heard.

As was posted on Jon's talk page, the ISP used changes the number issued on their own, through no control of the end user. The block reason is listed as "trying to circumvent existing block", and yet, Jon is forcing this to happen if people want to try to explain things. This may be how the system works, but if so, that needs to be adjusted so that people who are wrongly blocked can at least attempt to explain the circumstances, if they feel the need to. Knowing how Jon has been operating, this will probably be seen as an attempt "to circumvent existing block" and will once again, wrongly, get that block extended. 208.47.163.98 18:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're aware you're banned, you shouldn't attempt to post until the ban is over, regardless of whether your IP changes or not. That's just common sense. Circumventing a ban is never necessary to contact admins to appeal a ban. If you had an account, the wiki software allows you to e-mail a user who has their options set up to receive them, and even without an account, bcrats have their e-mails publicly available. - Tanetris 18:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Can someone update the feature on the main page? It's been two weeks (or more, I'm not sure if it was featured on the 27th or 28th) since Human started being the article up there. razor 39999 02:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

71.194.87.164
IP spamming meaningless contributions on multiple talk pages. I reverted some of the more useless edits, user reverted (multiple times). I left a warning on his talk page about revert wars. I'm requesting the drivel be removed from talk pages (again) and further attempts on behalf of the user to participate in edit wars be dealt with by an impartial sysop. - Auron 07:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Guild page
Hi could you please take my guild's page out of the historical section? [Ashen Phoenixes]

We still do exist and are active enough.

Anyway,Thanks


 * User:Greener has addressed this for you: Guild:Ashen Phoenixes is back and Guild:Ashen Phoenixes (historical) will be deleted shortly. Be sure to read the relevant policies (and keep editing the page once every couple of months). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 02:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Please reactivate our guild page

Undeletion of Signet of Creation (PvP)
Can an admin restore Signet of Creation (PvP), since it is linked with other PvP-only skills on Historical content nav and so it can appear on List of removed skills? Thanks. --Silver Edge 02:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. poke | talk 15:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Zaishen Mission is NOT Riverside Province
I recently checked your Wiki Page and noticed that Riverside Province was the ZM for the day, but when I went to accept the ZM it was Augury Rock.

I'd recommend that you update the information on the site and let people know it's been changed. Thanks for the understanding.

Sincerely

A Fellow Gamer. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.242.110.165 (talk).

Security lapse?
I was vanity googling my own (real) name today, and one of the links that popped up was http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=Savannah_Heat&action=creativecommons Worryingly, the appending of "creativecommons" to the url appears to be generating an unstyled xml list that includes users' real names and email addresses. I've tried that on other pages I've edited and my real name appears on all of them. Eek? -- snog  rat  07:18, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, panic averted (thanks, Auron!). My real name is listed in my prefs, and anybody who does the same will have their real name generated on lists such as these. The emails only appear if people are daft enough to put their email address in the real name field! Just blank it out if it scares you :) -- snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 07:38, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Would it be worth adding a one-time sitenotice for a few days just so people know about this and can change it? If there's a MediaWiki page for the real name instructions, that should be changed to highlight this too. -- pling User Pling sig.png 17:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Site notice? Mebbe. It's not a new issue, though, just one of which few people's are aware. Updating the instructions on preferences is a good idea, if its possible. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:02, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, I'm user #50 TEF - and this was the first I'd heard of it! Didn't mean to cause a panic; just seeing my own name and others' email addresses on an unencrypted page like that was a bit of a shocker :) -- snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 14:28, 18 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Soz, Snog, I didn't mean to minimize the risk to privacy (or the shock to seeing one's real name popup unexpectedly). My concern about a site notice is that it's alarming (as you discovered), but we can't really do much about it; the data is out there (cached). But if other people's want to see a site notice anyway, I can live with that. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 15:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

People moving valid discussions,
I would like you to look here, [] and see that my valid discussion was moved for no good reason. 108.75.73.62 21:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Felix and Jon
I am asking that they be dealt with regarding the threat of blocking me for not breaking any rules, and removing my comment from a page for no reason. This is trolling from a sysop (I am not sure what felix is he says he is an "admin" whatever that is. I feel that if I have to follow the rules so also should they. They are censoring who can talk to the devs by moving conversations that are not suggestions off page. 108.75.73.62 23:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
