Oh so this is what Wiki looks like. Daenara 07:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

NCsoft is an asian company, get it? (It'd probably be funnier if I had thought of it before you went to get some sleep.) -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 21:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

EY YOU, GAT SELIOUS *does best Terry Bogard impression*. DarkNecrid 09:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Woodbadge

Good luck. Titani Ertan 13:30, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] *Ping!*

Mind checking your email, the one you've linked to your wiki account? — Jon Lupen 20:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] rfr/rfa

I think it's been enough time since the RfC RfR requests to start a new RfA, if you could go ahead within a week that'd be cool. -- pling 20:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Huh. I meant RfR, but.. you got that. Thanks. -- pling 16:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Btw, you do know you were nominated, right? You haven't accepted/declined yet, and it's on the second stage now, so... Titani Ertan 15:01, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I probably should have told you about that. Hey Auron. Misery 15:31, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] the laughter

I thank you for it. NuVII 10:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] all these subpages

Might as well make a blog. If that's too emo sounding, call it a Journal.-- anguard 14:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

You're being ironic, right? It's sometimes hard to tell on the internet. Mr J 14:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Half-serious. He won't, but he does a lot of rants. Could be useful on a blog-like subpage.-- anguard 14:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I was referring to this: "If that's too emo sounding, call it a Journal." Mr J 14:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Journal sounds a bit more sophisticated(sp), it's what most writers call theirs. Diary if you're a woman.-- anguard 14:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) A blog is like this: "Dear blog, today I wrote sad songs about life and then I pierced my hair and smashed my head on the wall." A journal is like this: "Wtf is A.net doing? 14:57, 21 October 2009 (UTC)", amirite? Titani Ertan 14:57, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Blogs are for girls and emos, Journals are for people who think they're kind of a big deal. --Cursed Angel 15:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

should i make a blournal? -Auron 15:01, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Exactly, Cursed. It'd be perfect for Auron -- anguard 15:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

"Journal" stirs up images of the boy with no friends sitting in bed scribbling in his notebook about his feelings in some cheesy after school special. Headphones and posters of bad rock bands from the 80s optional. Mr J 15:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

There are "Work journals" and "Development journals", but they tend to be more like logs. Like a captain's log? Bureaucrat's log? Maybe I should have a log. Misery 15:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Or just plain log, where the log ends up thwacking idiots hard on the head. Pika Fan 15:28, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

No, I'm too much of a carebear for that. Misery 15:29, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I seem to recall a scene from The Tempest where someone shows up with a log. I can't remember why but I think there was also someone there in a prison cell. I could just be making part or all of that up though. Mr J 15:30, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

http://absoluteshakespeare.com/plays/tempest/a3s1.htm Glad I don't make this stuff up. Mr J 17:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] moving pages

No thanks, I am cleaning up.

"Remember, remember the 5th of November... Guy Fawkes 03:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The edits I have been making have been in compliance with the stated standards on the wiki pages and are not vandalism. They are for correction of improper spelling. They are not major changes either, and I have been working on correcting any links that have become broken due to my edits. Since someone who is not doing anything wrong would not think to check their messages to see if anyone liked or disliked what they were doing, it would have been nice to actually, and here's a wild idea, talk to the person making the changes and find out why they were doing what they were before blocking them like that.

As is known (or I thought was known), the professions when used in that way are considered proper names, and as such, (from the wiki page on formatting) are supposed to be capitalised.

I have literally spent hours and hours on making things (or at least attempting to) better for every user of the GWW, not just random things because I think they would benefit me. Some specific examples, if you would care to check them out are the tables for the Horseman collectors. They (for the most part) are identical, and instead of having that same information repeated in the table that would need to be changed for however many horsemen there are, I made 2 tables, one with the transmogrifier tonic, and one without, so that all would be the correct information no matter which collector you looked at. Then, if changes did need to be made, they could be done at one spot, and would then automatically update everywhere that table was used (all of the horseman collector pages). I just couldn't figure out how to make it so that the second table only added the one line for the transmogrifier to the other table automatically.

If I knew how to make these proper changes I have been working on lately (and they are basically spelling errors) and quickly fix all of the related links, I would have done so. And if you think that spelling errors need to be discussed before any changes are made, then correcting these errors in the wiki is going to take forever. I don't think that correcting spelling errors need to have a discussion for each and every one. Otherwise, there would still be a lot of links pointing to two otherwise identical pages, one named Lakeside County, and the other Lakeside Country, because if someone didn't bother to take it on themselves to correct it, I am sure there would still be discussions about it, because some thought it was supposed to be spelled Country in this instance.

It is like I have been told by others (in analogy) who are much smarter than me, and I have attempted to pass this on to others who I felt could benefit from the same knowledge; just because the first 20 people are hammering in nails and slamming their fingers with the hammer, doesn't mean that if you want to hammer a nail in, that you need to slam your finger with the hammer too. To follow this to the "discussion" stage, it also doesn't mean that you need to discuss with the 20 people previously if you are going to hammer that nail in differently, or not.

Or for another example, and this is probably a better one. Why should you have to discuss with those same 20 (or different if you prefer) how you spell your name before writing it down?

Personally, I feel that all of the words (other than "a" or "the" or "of", words like that) in a page title should be capitalised, because in a certain perspective, they are like book titles, which are capitalised in such a format. But I have not done that in deference to the used standard.

"Remember, remember the 5th of November... Guy Fawkes 05:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Shut the fuck up. Your reasoning is bad. If you want to capitalize everything, get a consensus and then have a bot do it. Continue vandalizing pages after you have been warned repeatedly and shown the policy and you will be blocked. (Tee hee, see? I can be Auron too!) –Jette 05:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

First of all, Jette, please don't stir the pot. Thank you in advance.

Secondly, the proper course of action here would have been to hold off on further edits because there is someone disagreeing with you, Guy Fawkes - we encourage being bold, but at the same time, when someone brings up an issue with what you are doing, your response should not be "no thanks" and then continuing to edit, it should be "what's the problem, and how can we resolve it?".

It was because you ignored any attempt to discuss issues with you and instead simply continued to do things that were controversial without attempting to take the other opinions of established wiki users into account, even after they had expressed fairly strongly their dislike of your actions, that were the cause of your temporary blocking. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 05:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Guy; this is really not the place to post that. I don't care a whit about capitalization one way or another. The wiki guidelines say to use lower case. If you want to make it "proper," go to the wiki guideline talk page and say so. Once wiki consensus agrees with you, you are free to change the articles - but not before consensus agrees with you.

As Aiiane said, you were blocked because you flat-out refused to cooperate and cease your edits until the community had a chance to talk it over. I am not the community, nor do I particularly care either way, but your edits were going against accepted formatting rules, so you needed to stop and get those guidelines changed before plowing on with page moves. -Auron 06:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

For the record, it's a guideline, not a policy. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 06:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Even so, given the amount of pages involved (and links that would require fixing), discussing it first would be better.--Fighterdoken 06:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

soz, surprise gf agro. I want my 3D title though :< -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 22:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

But...but....teh troll fight! Karate Jesus 23:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

KJ, the culture here and PvX are different. In PvX, you can do whatever you are doing now and achieve good results, but for GWW, you either be passive aggressive, pull a blunt Auron, or don't do it at all. Pika Fan 23:47, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm uniquely incapable of acting differently in different places. No joke. I'm basically the same person irl that I am here, on PvX, on Guru, etc. So...yea, I assume that if I'm that big of a pain in the ass (which I can be) I'll get banned for it. Oh, and I tend to repeat myself everywhere too. That's not just for emphasis. I think it's left over from my childhood studdering as a way to make my point heard or something. Idk, my wife's the psychologist, not me. Karate Jesus 23:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Your wife just needs to step out of the kitchen and give you a good whack with the frying pan every now and then so you don't get carried away. Pika Fan 23:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, she does (but she often walks out of the office to do it rather than the kitchen. She can't cook for shit). Karate Jesus 00:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

She needs a bigger fry pan...or to work out more----Xtreme 00:07, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
