User talk:Gwynna Vive

Hi and welcome to the wiki. It's great that you seems to want to contribute to the wiki positively. I would recommend creating a user account to make contributing easier and more fun. -- (gem / talk) 21:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC) -- Hi there and welcome to the wiki! Thanks for uploading the images in The Mesmer's Path. In the future you can and should feel free to upload the pics and update quest articles on your own. Not sure if you are uncomfortable doing that or did not know how so I just wanted to mention some links you may find useful: Hope that helps and if you should have any questions feel free to swing by my talk page and ask, or just ask here as I tend to watch talk pages I've left messages on! - Thulsey   - talk 03:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Guild_Wars_Wiki:Projects/Quests - all the quests that are in need of something.
 * Guild_Wars_Wiki:Formatting/Quests - some information on the way we present quest information here on the wiki. Please try to stick to this as much as possible, and in the event of a question, just hit the talk page and join/start a discussion.
 * Template:Quest_infobox - all the info that can be added to the infobox of a quest. When you edit a quest's page, the very first thing you should see is this template, so feel free to input any missing information!


 * I have limited knowledge of Wiki format, and HTML coding is well beyond what my tired old bones can grasp. I am quite good at writing, especially technically, which is what I've done professionally until my recent unscheduled retirement.  I do love to play GuildWars, and it helps keep my mind sharp.  I made a living out of figuring out non-standard methods of reaching solutions, and doing so requires that you know the standard.  At any rate, I do like to contribute, so I will post ideas and such as I incounter them.  I don't want to mess up the wiki's format, and will definitely check into the pages with the templates.  Hopefully I'll be able to pry myself away from the game long enough to learn how to use them.


 * That's a great attitude, and your contributions are welcome! As I mentioned earlier if you have any questions about how to go about doing something feel free to ask - There's a great resource here, and my talk page is just a click away! ^^ -  Thulsey  [[Image:User Thulsey good.gif|Zheng]] - talk 02:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Life Bond
Thank you! I don't know nor can I explain why but the lack of information on the NF skill trainer for this was driving me quite batty and the one character/account I have access to without that skill unlocked hasn't reached Gate of Torment yet. Phew. - Thulsey   - talk 06:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't thank me yet, see your talk page. :) Gwynna Vive 09:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Elite skills checklist
First, welcome (back?) to the wiki! I moved your page "Elite Skills Checklist" into your userspace, at User:Gwynna Vive/Elite Skills Checklist. Pages for your personal use belong in your userspace; the mainspace is for articles related to the game, not for users' own lists or what have you. Anyways, enjoy wiki-ing! calor  (talk)  22:02, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I think I misunderstood a slight bit. What you're trying to do, I'm pretty sure, has already been done on the pages in the infoboxes on the right of elite skill.
 * Actually, I was trying to provide a simple formatted list without graphics that could simply be printed or copy/pasted to a text file. The links in the infobox lead to full color pages with excessive and unneeded graphics for a player that is merely looking for a printable list to check-off skills as they capture them.  Gwynna Vive 22:16, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's a good idea (there are lots of similar lists that would benefit from a printable or move-to-spreadsheet version). Is there any precedent for such simple lists on the wiki? (I can't think of one.) I would support any proposal to create such pages at e.g. List of elite skills by profession/Print list. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 23:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I cannot think of any precedent. I just went ahead and posted the list, and Calor helped by moving it to my userpage space User:Gwynna Vive/Elite Skills Checklist for now, as they are correct in the statements above regarding the proper placement of what is obviously useful, but does not conform to the wiki's standard format.  I have placed a link to the list on the talk page for skill hunter, under the heading "Checklist", as this would be one of the likeliest places a wiki user would seek such a list.  I never wanted to get involved in the wiki's beaurocracy; just contribute where I found a place that I could help...so if anyone else wants to pick up the torch and go with it, I'm sure that many players would appreciate printable lists. I'm just happy that the list is available on the wiki now.  It could definitely use some format from someone a bit more experienced in wiki format and HTML. to shorten it.  ...if the list were formatted to 2 collumns it would reduce the length by half...unfortunately I'm not the most proficient typist in the world nor the most patient.  Hopefully I have helped save some typing, ink/toner and maybe even a tree or two...lol!  Gwynna Vive 02:25, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
