I figured since I've broken 1RR on multiple counts on Misery's talk page, I'd put myself up for an Admin review. — Jon 
Lupen 18:05, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed 1RR was broken repeatedly however what was being reverted was clear and apparent trolling, not to mention that the bible stuff was browser breaking due to its size. However Jon in the future please just get an admin to deal with the problem rather than revert warring. :) -- Salome

Problems moving a page.
Move Caykitt's Focus to preserve history
Could an admin move Caykitt's Focus (history) over Kaykitt's Focus (history) to preserve history, attribution, and talk page. The article was copied over with the weapon name changed and misspelling note removed. -Smurf 00:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

1RR
User:Armond multiple times to this page. --Max 2 06:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

1RR 75.159.44.19
75.159.44.19 (talk • contribs • logs • block log) has broken the 1RR at Round 1: Fight!, and ignored messages to move the content elsewhere. The content has been moved for the user, and was notified of the move, but the user continues to edit the Round 1: Fight! article.
- Reverted and warned. If he does it again I'll block him. -- Salome 21:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Legal threats in breach of GWW:NPA
72.230.63.96 (talk • contribs • logs • block log) making legal threats against ArenaNet here, while claiming to be NoXiFy (talk • contribs • logs • block log). I mention it specifically because ArenaNet staff are usually hesitant to report infringements targeted at them. Misery 15:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Not really sure what you want us to do on this one Mis. Threatening legal action against anet as a company (regardless of how misguided it is) in itself is not a breach of any of our policies. Unless I'm misinterpreting something. It's not a very nice post or a well thought out post, but beyond that I'm finding it hard to see the infringement of our policies. -- Salome 15:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- NB I am aware that "Threats of legal action." are mentioned under NPA, however I do not think that this is relevant in this instance. Gaile is the support manager, if someone feels that their contract has been breached, then the correct recourse is to seek legal advice. Communicating that fact to Gaile by itself, is in my opinion not a breach of NPA. If however he said "Gaile I'm taking you to court for XYZ" it would be another issue entirely. -- Salome 15:52, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- 72.230.63.96 is me... and I'm not violating NPA, I'm also not attacking ArenaNet, I'm attacking NCsoft legally but that is a non-issue and doesn't need to be discussed on this wiki.--'ÑöẊĭƑý
20:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Threatening legal action and taking legal action are clearly different things. Misery 20:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Guild Wars Wiki:No personal attacks only applies to comments directed against specific wiki users. It was written to prevent arguments between users from degenerating into flame wars, and, although there have been attempts to expand the scope of the policy, those attempts have been unsuccessful. --

Abuse of admin power.
My guild leader (my real life friend!) told me to update our wiki-site's information and create our alliance guild' pages but Wynthys is abusing her power and deleted all of them and even BANNED ME FOR NO REASON SAYING I AM CIRCUM-SOMETHING on this wiki!! Here's a screen shot as proof. Thanks a lot, Wyn. Here is the screen shot as proof. -24.126.139.224 01:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC) All comments from outside sources should be kept off this page as per the rules of admin noticeboard, Adrin. I am Jon's friend. I have every right to be on here and I have every right to create guild pages from our alliance. --24.126.139.224 01:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
RC Spam (not the good kind)
It's aggravating my latent wiki-OCD, clogging recent chagnes and really not doing much for anybody else either. They've been warned twice, first by Wynthyst and later by me, and disregarded both. —Jette 
12:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Main_Page/editcopy
Zesbeer reverted the page to his liking far more than a couple of times after Wyn and I both changed it a couple of times (or so). I don't like being a 'whiner', but I don't like someone reverting to what they want after at least three people are against it. ♥ Ariyen ♀ 08:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Image Discussion
A discussion is going on about the added value of the addition of a 3d render to some item pages. Maybe an admin could look into this issue. --Arduin 
15:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is a a user discussion and consensus should be reached by users; it has nothing to do with admins or admin discretion (unless said there..). Commented on personal attacks. poke | talk 15:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. But what about the Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users?. It's not looking like any consensus is going to be reached soon. --Arduin

why...
was i blocked from wiki the other day? i uploaded a new picture for r2 zaishen and i got suspended for circulating (not sure if that was the word used) my block? what block? i was never blocked to begin with so why did i get blocked? i 'had' to make an account to upload the picture so was it because it was named weird? :\ sheesh wtf? --24.126.139.224 02:13, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Your block log is clean. If an associated account or ip was blocked, you need to provide the name/ip.--Fighterdoken 02:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- "Uploading z2 pic" was the temp name i used to upload the picture --24.126.139.224 02:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have removed the block, I believe it was a case of mistaken identity. Please log in and use your registered name. -- Wyn talk 02:46, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- it's ok wyn. the account served no purpose other than to allow me to upload the picture. i did not even know the account was blocked until just now because i logged off it after i was done and the next day or something in that area i tried to edit as my ip on the wiki and i was suspended. :\
- so i was blocked again for mistaken identity... kind of seems like people are out to get me if this has to do with jon since i was blocked recently for the same circulating (not sure what the word is that is continuosly being used <_<) thing like last time or w/e it was. --24.126.139.224 02:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- the word is "Circumventing" (i know its not an important point but still) Also no one is out to get you but at the same time no one is prepared to let Jon back on this site, so I think we are erring on the side of caution. I'm sure you understand and we apologize for any inconvenience caused to you in this instance. -- Salome 07:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Old ArenaNet portal
Is it possible for an admin to edit pages that where in the old ArenaNet space? There was a discussion at ArenaNet Portal talk, but that's been close so I couldn't ask it there. I've also asked on the Ask a wiki question section but no one ever responded. The main issue in particular is that tags such as move, merge and split have been left on the pages, and seeing as they cannot be edited, they cannot be removed and continue to congest the List of proposed moves, splits and merges. There's currently fifteen listings there that cannot be removed due to the pages being locked. Could an admin please remove the tags if possible, or direct this to a person who can? ~Celestia 11:57, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'll remove the move/merge/split tags from those pages later; I guess they don't need to be moved/merged/split any longer, given that the ArenaNet namespace is now only an archive. poke | talk 13:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you Poke :) ~Celestia 13:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Impersonating another user
Noxify (talk • contribs • logs • block log) impersonating NoXiFy (talk • contribs • logs • block log). I assume it isn't actually him because he isn't banned or anything. Kind of be nice if he was talked to or permanently banned before closing his RfA. Misery 15:31, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Obvious socking as per User:Pika. Let's be honest, it's ovious. She has the same name as a random account on AIM? Please. Surely the admins here aren't stupid enought to believe that?
