Talk pages
Guild Wars Wiki:Talk pages is 1. a guideline, and 2. a draft guideline. I know we don't remove comments from talk pages anyway, but I just wanted to point out that it's not an accepted policy. -- Brains12 \ talk 15:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and you might want to change your formatting so people can easily add new comments on this page -- if people want to talk to you, they'd have this page on their watchlist, and this page will give you that notification after a comment has been made. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 15:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahh ok, sorry. I thought it had gone through I miss-read the top notice on the guidline.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] 17:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

RE:Images
Hey its Akuto.... Yeah I have been having trouble with images. I do everthing right it says its uploaded it but then nothing shows up... What I need help with is making those info boxes, I'm a new guild leader so I didn't use wiki until then.....maybe I should of stayed in my old guild --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Akutomoon (talk).
 * Hey no problem. I've written a small guide on your user page.  Hopefully it will help.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] 00:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey thanx that really helpedAkutomoon 00:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, any time.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 00:58, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Unsigned
Is there any reason for replacing the unsigned templates on the questions page with absolute text? Surely I thought its better to have the template since it reduces the size of the un-rendered page. TBH I might be wrong, I'm just wondering why.- TheRave (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Both user:Wizardboy777 and user:Y0_ich_halt told me to use subst:unsigned instead of unsigned.
 * link 1and link 2.


 * Since I usually respect what older (non-spammer) members tell me, I decided to follow their advice. :P


 * Something to do with template being update every so often or extra strain to the server to have to replace it every time the page is loaded. So, a thousand subst:unsigned would render a few thousand extra bytes to the page, but would require a thousand less on-the-fly replace template by the server. --NIN37 11:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahhh ok, now that does make sense. I didn't realise we should be using subst:  I will do in future.  Thank you for explaining.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 11:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * We learn a lot of hot stuff here at the wiki. :D
 * Glad I could be helpful. --NIN37 11:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Need Help Again
Sorry to bother you but I need help again... I got a message that my guild page was to be delete if U didn't fix it. It said it had too many images. I only have 3 some guild pages even have 7, what should I do?-Akutomoon 10:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The guild page policy says: "Images -- restricted to a guild banner, a single image of your guild members striking a pose, an image of the guild hall, and an image of the guild cape. (not including icons in headings).". I think the guild cleanup tag was deleted because of the picture of the miniature you used to have on the page.  Now you've removed that AFAIK it conforms to the policy, so I've removed the tag.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 10:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, thats faggish.. lol.. Aerie 09:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Deleting Items
sharks i dotn se many of theese other then the jade sea and grothmar show some evidence sry i thoguth i was usingthe new area thign did not work --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:70.251.156.107 (talk).
 * My quote was from the person who removed your comment it wasn't from me. Which looking at the edit history was Ezekial Riddle, it would make sense to ask him for evidence since he was the person who removed the comment.  Or a better idea is to discuss the situation on the articles discussion page.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 01:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Gates of Kryta has one in the bonus area, if you look in the chasm in the waters. Also, the NF Character Selection screen had one swimming about. A shark in waters is nothing special, as it's an ambient creature. -- Ezekial Riddle 03:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Tagging guild pages
I have noticed you have erroneously tagged several Guild pages for cleanup. All a guild page needs to contain to conform to GWW:GUILD is the guild template, the guild infobox, and one contact. Contacts include Guild Leader's name, webiste, forum, or any member's IGN, wiki, or email. Please be careful when you are tagging. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks! Also you need to fix your talk page formatting so it doesn't interfere with people adding new sections using the +. -- Wyn 12:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahhh sorry, I didn't realise that there was a section in the infobox for leader. I will check next time.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 22:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Bitch (Re:This)

 * Quite possibly you could mean that but it seems obvious to me you're using the term in with its abusive meaning.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No no, not abusive, nowai honestly. --217.44.68.205 20:54, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * We'll let an admin decide now.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 20:59, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Tssss, *Hoping for a permanent ban* | Cyan Light [[Image:User Cyan Light SB.jpg|19px]] Boooh!!! | 13:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't realise you got banned again. As I always say, "think before you type/speak" and "common sense is your friend". Also, do you realise you could get your ban extended for circumventing an existing block? See you around.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 13:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk page templates
Heya! Your Sign template has been marked for deletion. Just as an FYI, history has proven that those kinds of templates (welcomes, sign, warnings etc) are a bad thing. They tend to get overused and are too impersonal. It's much better to type out the message on a case by case basis. Trust me, you aren't the first, nor will you be the last want to use them. :D -- Wyn 13:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. I didn't realise its been tried before. Just noticed its been marked, fair enough, delete away.- TheRave [[Image:User_TheRave_sig.jpg]] (talk) 13:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
