[edit] Don't know the rules very well
On the ursan blessing page im quoting a couple of things coz there are so many silly arguments out there and I feel I gotta collect the good ones or nothing will happen. Its a good read but ^^ I've double posted on something about invisible skills coz the suggestion was there twice. If you want, tell me what to delete and its gone. Spawnlegacy 06:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Woah there, all my rants have merit and relate to their specific sections + they're well structured and entertaining to boot. I don't think there's too much redundancy cept for the overall message that 'Ursan is bad' and 'Ursan users should feel horrible about themselves.' It's a discussion not an article afterall. Anyway, I'm done now. Hopefully there's enough heart wrenching evidence and anti-Arenanet remarks there to get it nerfed. Yours sincerely Spawnlegacy 12:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Battledepths
Actually, Battledepths is most probably a dungeon. In the preview week end, it was just an underground explorable area but it turns into a dungeon later in the storyline (just like some kourna outposts turn into missions after you've completed vabbi). In gw.dat, it is clearly stated that battledepths is a 3-level dungeon. Chriskang 13:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

LOL, I counted three times over, then counted the Elites, then counted again, and it never once crossed my mind that Heros can't use PvE-only skills... ugh. Nice catch on that, I'm going to sleep now. :P --

Thanks for directing me towards that image, though after the first 2 horsemen collectors I stopped uploading any image, more so because I didn't want to keep uploading the same exact image for all of them without being sure they were all identical - and laziness. Yukiko

[edit] Adminship
I understand that you want to get your view of the perfect adminship policy, i.e. draft E, implemented. Draft B, at the time of implementation, was accepted to be the new policy. It wasn't everyone's perfect view of how the policy should be because, obviously, that would be impossible what with all differing opinions on the wiki. It's called a "compromise," Backsword. While I can understand it to an extent, I do not appreciate that you reverted the implementation of the policy draft, in disregard to this consensual compromise, and then change the draft B to suit your personal opinion -- even though you say you created draft E, another disregard to consensual compromise, so that draft B is not disturbed. Yet, after today's edit, draft B was changed to an extent that would alter it's practical meaning.
I do not see you adding to this consensual compromise, but changing it to suit your personal opinion. Yes, you may have taken into account a few of the changes that Aiiane made and the overall outline of Rezyk's initial draft, but why you reverted the implementation of the draft which was the consensual compromise is beyond me.
Every policy is brought out of this "consensual compromise." It does not belong to whim of one person, so right now, I would be obliged to revert back to the implementation of draft B. However, in order to avoid a revert war, I'd appreciate your comments and answers as to why consensus was ignored. --

[edit] A small request...
Can you try to be less of an asshat? Your off-topic, trollish remarks on Talk:Key along with your flat-out rude comments on Brains' talk page don't reflect very well on your ability to mesh well with the community. Remember to focus on whatever task you're trying to accomplish - straying into offtopic e-peen contests doesn't do you (or anyone) a bit of good. Thanks. -Auron 15:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tonics are not weapons
You relocated my suggestion for a dragon-corruption tonic to the items section to the weapons section. I did not suggest in any part of the article that the idem would have any use in combat whasoever, and, beyond that, I think it should be clear that a tonic is not a weapon but rather an item, and that it belongs in the items section. If you aren't going to undo this mistake and re-create the "Items" category, then you could at least rename the "Weapons" catagory.--Shai Halud 18:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Talk Pages
Who said anything about controlling content? I have no idea what your talking about. I just think that puting something like a tonic in the catagory of weapons is confusing. I mean, I do think you are acting like a presumprupous "asshat" as said above and fabricating convenient codes of ethics to back up your actions, but that's my opinion and entirely beside the point. I mean, tonics aren't weapons, and neither are potions. If there is not going to be a section for "items", then I at least think the name of the weapons catagory shouls be changed.--72.145.115.86 19:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC) (Shai_Halud)
- I believe he was talking about the first five sections of your talk page; since none of them seem to actually be discussion, and rather suggestions for GW2 races, he's suggesting you put it in your userpage or move the sections to, say, User:Shai Halud/GW2 races. By the way, did you know you can make subsections? It takes three equal signs instead of two, and it makes the font and lines do what it looks like you tried to do. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 19:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion tags...
You tagged ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Assassin stealth ability for deletion, saying it's a duplicate of ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Stealth, even though the latter was made on June 21, and the prior on June 19 (not to mention, it also has better information). I moved the deletion tag since, technically, "Stealth" is a duplicate of "Assassin stealth ability". az :D 00:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

- Your revert of the information for a second time is a violation of GWW:1RR Backsword. Plus, the information you are placing in the article is incorrect.

Are the pages you moved all moved "by-wiki" (as opposed to "by-hand")? Has a solution for "by-hand" moves been found that I missed?

. . . to actually put a link in deletion tags, such as the one you slapped on ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/"Crowd" sound effects and ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Pet skill bars, so we all have proof that it is a duplicate? I tried putting in ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Visit Kaineng CIty some day, since that's what was on the deletion tag, but, oh! Look, it doesn't exist. And another thing, ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Skill: I will win! isn't a Guild Wars 1 suggestion; it's a skill suggestion for Guild Wars 2 (notice the category it's in and that it has no attribute or profession in the skill box) azaleachat 14:02, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Item infobox
Sorry, i forgot about those. But they're only a very little part of the entire item list that uses this template, and for other items it's a wrong or confusing information since those items are only available with a fixed rarity and therefore should better leave this out. What would you think about showing this line for salvage items only, and ommiting it for the other types? (Code example is hidden in this comment)

[edit] Guild Wars 2 Suggestions
Greetings!
I'm writing a canned message of sorts to a select handful of Guild Wars Wiki users whom I believe share a similar passion of mine: exchanging new concepts and ideas for Guild Wars. I chose you by simply jotting down names that showed up frequently in the discussion of the GW2 Suggestion Pages here on the Wiki. If you have no interest in the matter or feel that I'm imposing upon you, I will thank you for your time; please disregard/delete this message. If, however, you do have a creative streak and enjoy sharing your ideas with the hopes that they'll some day be adopted into the game you love, then read on!
I like to think that, on occasion, I have have a good idea. And when it's concerning something I'm very passionate about (like Guild Wars) I tend to go all-out. When Guild Wars 2 was announced back in March of 2007, I was very excited! Here was an opportunity to get some of the features I've really been wanting to see in an MMO integrated into one of my favorite games! The question was, how could I get the developers to actually pay attention to any of my ideas? In my naivety, I began posting them on “Guild Wars 2 Suggestion” topics on several forums of popular GW community sites, only to realize that, as more and more suggestions were posted, my posts became buried. I never got the feedback I desired (were any of my ideas even good?), and I could only assume that ArenaNet would have a slim chance of coming across them in all the drivel and flaming that accompanies forum topics.
Disheartened, but not defeated, I decided that I (and many other creative minds) needed a place where they could post their ideas without them being buried... where other players could easily vote on them, and post suggestions of their own! Thus, I created a site called NikiWiki. Unfortunately, either due to my requests for fansitedom going through the wrong channels, or a lack of understanding on ArenaNet's part, NikiWiki never really took off. At around that time ArenaNet set up a “receptacle” for posting Guild Wars 2 suggestions here on the Guild Wars Wiki. But I saw this as only a tiny step up from posting in forums. How does anyone know what new ideas really matter to the players?
So I've decided to take another stab.
I'll spare you any further ramblings, and introduce you to the Guild Wars Feedback Community. All I'm asking is that you take a few moments of your time and visit the site. Create an account if you wish – everything is free, there is no spam, etc... there aren't even any advertisements on the site. I do all this simply out of my love of the game, and a selfish desire to see Guild Wars 2 become the ultimate MMO!
The GWFC is not perfect by far, please understand that it's currently in beta. I hope that with some input from like minded individuals, this site can become a valuable resource for the developers at ArenaNet and folks like you and I who need a creative outlet. Feel free to criticize (constructively or not), make suggestions of your own, or brow-beat me in any way you feel necessary. I've set up a topic for GWFC site feedback you can use, but feel free to write to me on my Wiki discussion page, or holler at me in-game. Thank you for all of your time, and I hope to see you on the Feedback Community site!
Sincerely,
--Brokunn 03:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

- Too bad that edit can be undone for some reason. Could someone please do something to make it undone and could stupid people stop deleting other people posts.
(Limu Tolkki - talk) 12:57, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- What "edit" and page are you talking about? Also, the suggestion pages need some sort of maintenance, and Backsword is contributing to that maintenance - if that includes deletion, then so be it if it's appropriate and unopposed. If someone does oppose the deletion, they can post on the talk page (as the deletion tag explains); if you want to keep an eye on the pages you edit (or any other page), you can tick the "watch this page" box when you edit a page or click the "watch" tab at the top - these pages can then be monitored in your watchlist for future edits. You should also realise the difference between deletion tagging and deleting - Backsword only tags pages. If no one opposes, an admin will delete the page after 3 days. --
Brains12 \ talk 14:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Im talking about the GW2 suggestion page. And no, Backsword didnt tag my suggestions, he deleted them. There was no deletion tags. Please check the history of that page and undo the Backswords edit, if there was no good reason for deletion.
(Limu Tolkki - talk) 13:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- That page shouldn't really be for suggestions - you should be using the format provided, i.e. create a page in the relevant topic section, with discussion going on the talk page. There's no need to take that page back to what it was, a mess of rants, walls of text, duplicate suggestions, and forum posts. --
Brains12 \ talk 14:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- It currently has 44 suggestions, go and remove them all.
(Limu Tolkki - talk) 14:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- The reason given by Backsword in the edit summary was "Chat, duplicate suggestions, more chatting, some GW1 ideas, an insult or two, and some questions. ANd a buit of general forum chat", which are removed from suggestion pages anyway - that's nothing new. My opinion on removing them all isn't agreed upon by others, so I'm not going to carry that out. --
Brains12 \ talk 15:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- My suggestions wasnt any of those. Could you undo it since it seems Backsword is not going to do it.
(Limu Tolkki - talk) 16:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- If your suggestions weren't part of that edit, then I'd rather wait for Backsword's reasoning before I revert. Also, it would help if you provided some links to those edits; it's a big page with a big history. If you still think your suggestions are valid, then you should post them in the format provided, as long as a duplicate suggestion doesn't exist. --

- If your suggestion was removed in that edit by Backsword, then I assume the reason he gave for that edit applies to your suggestions (most probably they have already been suggested by someone else). --

- I would suggest you replace your suggestion on it's own page, as specified by the instructions at the top of the page. It's not that tough to copy/paste them to a page under the appropriate heading. The main suggestion page is simply a 'scratchpad' and items are removed periodically. You don't need a sysop to do that, just open two browser windows, one to the diff link you provided and one to the new page for the suggestion. Just make sure you've checked that your suggestion hasn't already been suggested. --

- If your suggestions weren't part of that edit, then I'd rather wait for Backsword's reasoning before I revert. Also, it would help if you provided some links to those edits; it's a big page with a big history. If you still think your suggestions are valid, then you should post them in the format provided, as long as a duplicate suggestion doesn't exist. --
- My suggestions wasnt any of those. Could you undo it since it seems Backsword is not going to do it.
- The reason given by Backsword in the edit summary was "Chat, duplicate suggestions, more chatting, some GW1 ideas, an insult or two, and some questions. ANd a buit of general forum chat", which are removed from suggestion pages anyway - that's nothing new. My opinion on removing them all isn't agreed upon by others, so I'm not going to carry that out. --
- It currently has 44 suggestions, go and remove them all.
- That page shouldn't really be for suggestions - you should be using the format provided, i.e. create a page in the relevant topic section, with discussion going on the talk page. There's no need to take that page back to what it was, a mess of rants, walls of text, duplicate suggestions, and forum posts. --
- Im talking about the GW2 suggestion page. And no, Backsword didnt tag my suggestions, he deleted them. There was no deletion tags. Please check the history of that page and undo the Backswords edit, if there was no good reason for deletion.
- What "edit" and page are you talking about? Also, the suggestion pages need some sort of maintenance, and Backsword is contributing to that maintenance - if that includes deletion, then so be it if it's appropriate and unopposed. If someone does oppose the deletion, they can post on the talk page (as the deletion tag explains); if you want to keep an eye on the pages you edit (or any other page), you can tick the "watch this page" box when you edit a page or click the "watch" tab at the top - these pages can then be monitored in your watchlist for future edits. You should also realise the difference between deletion tagging and deleting - Backsword only tags pages. If no one opposes, an admin will delete the page after 3 days. --
- Too bad that edit can be undone for some reason. Could someone please do something to make it undone and could stupid people stop deleting other people posts.
- Gonna undo it if theres no signs of it being tagged for deletion.
- Perhaps we should notify useres if their suggestions are tagged for deletion. — Wolf
- Where do i see whether they were or werent? I doubt they were cause didnt see anything like that.
"or" was in my post... I don't care that it was deleted, it was ages ago :p just for future note Nikdanbro 03:04, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Skills bug page
Please stop deleting things off this page. If you believe they have been resolved they should be placed in an archive for reference. --
