[edit] Seriously guys, what the hell

Repeat after me: edit wars are bad! The article is fine to stay. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=White_Mantle&action=history . Three major contributors, Aberrant, Karlos and Biro, all of whom have released their contribs to GFDL. This is ridiculous. --Dirigible 15:38, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Calm yourself, Dirigible. You are correct in everything you said. I'm watching, but as you can tell from the latency, I am working as well. — Gares 15:50, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

The intervening contributors to the final article have NOT released their edits under GFDL. Assuming that someone can cut'n'paste an article simply because the "major" contributors have is a misinterpretation of GFDL. Fox 15:59, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm perfectly calm, don't worry, Gares. The above message was posted before you added the copyvio tag. It was directed at Fox's and Taka Zamiazi's impromptu revert war, and the angry messages being posted here. Thanks for removing the copyvio tag.

As for whether copying that article here or not is copyvio or not, Fox, it isn't. Minor edits, like correcting typos or linkifying something can't be copyrightable under copyright law because these edits can't be considered creative expression, which is what copyright law controls. Changes like that fall under public domain, and as such are perfectly fine to be copied over. You just can't copyright this. It's grammar, for goodness' sake. From the GFDL text that you so handily linked to:

"You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License."

Since all of those changes can't be copyrightable and are part of the public domain, no other conditions are added to the GFDL licensed text, and for that reason the copying is perfectly legal. Anything I missed? --Dirigible 16:33, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Dirigible - Calm down bro, it was all a mistake..you should have asked what's up before screaming EDIT wars! =D Taka Zamiazi 15:57, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Dirigible is correct and I will add to his explanation for finality's sake. LordBiro and Karlos created the paragraph portion and Aberrant80 created the NPC listing. Everything else was minor changes, wikifying, grammar fixes, and the like. The only thing that would have been a copyright violation would have been the flag image should it have been uploaded here. Wrapping up work before the weekend took priority over this incident when I first saw it and I apologize. — Gares 17:24, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Opps _ ^ ^

Well sorry about this all, im just starting out and i used Orginal Wiki's Article and Picture to practice on, I realized however than there is a sandbox now :D So sorry for all the confusion and mishap, wont happen again. But seriously though....again...sorry wasnt meant for mean'ness or anything like that i was just practicing my wiki articles and mainly loading pictures on... ----Taka

Just remember that we are usually not allowed to copy content from GuildWiki. It's better to make new content than to copy something from there. Erasculio 15:44, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Ya ya I know, but i didnt want to write something that i didnt really Know about, (usually PvE stuff, I'm all PvP) But i thought since its a great place to write something and try things out why not (Before i saw the sandbox0 Taka Zamiazi 15:49, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Also, to make indents to reply to things, such as the indent I made to reply to your original message or the one here, we have to use : at the beginning of the paragraph (more than one make a bigger indent). Just common spaces result in the odd looking table you saw above. Erasculio 15:51, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Thanks, already learning alot from my mistake ^^ =D Taka Zamiazi 15:52, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

That's the idea : ) Welcome to the wiki. Erasculio 15:54, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Thank you, glad to help out the GW community! Taka Zamiazi 15:55, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Small Article

I think we need to expand this article because the White Mantle is one of the main focuses of the entire Prophecies campaign. They are the main part of the storyline from the moment the character enters the Gates of Kryta until they sail across the ocean to the desert after going through the jungle! It just doesn't have enough information (and the picture needs to be cropped) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:He Who Likes Arrows .

[edit] Picture Title

Rather minor, but isn't the picture of a Justiciar, not a Knight? That's Justiciar Hablion if I'm not mistaken. I'll change it and if anyone feels it's too pedantic or pointless you're welcome to change it back ;). Andrik Of Ascalon 17:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] white mantle armor

is there any armor that looks like the white mantles armor craftable in game? for the male warrior id assume and with white dye applied..

Warrior armor should have all the pictures. Backsword 04:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I think I have the recipe for white mantle armor, more or less...Monument Helmet, Krytan Cuirass, (possibly Elite)Luxon leggings, and Krytan Boots. Add a lot of white dye. I just have to figure out if there's any gap between the regular luxon leggings and the krytan boots or not...if anyone could test this for me, it would be much appreciated! Taka Ragranok 04:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Elite White Mantle armor (Justiciar Hablion wears this, so do a few others, but not normal WM soldiers) is probably the best warrior armor in-game. Pity we can't actually wear it. --Jette 04:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think my recipe is fairly close to Elite White Mantle...Taka Ragranok 23:54, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
