[edit] Blank User Talk?

Doesn't seem right to have a talk page without at least one comment on it :p --Kakarot 02:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, lol. — ク Eloc 貢 03:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] you would be a doll but not if you are tired ;)

Thanks Eloq. -- Silverleaf 09:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

yay? --Cursed Angel 14:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I am guessing this is on my offer to align your infoboxes? How many do you want in a row? — ク Eloc 貢 16:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 4 would be nice?

:) -- Silverleaf 10:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Wuhhuuuhhh, succeeded myself in alligning them...Thank you for the offer though. -- Silverleaf 17:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Np. — ク Eloc 貢 23:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Affiliation

Please do not put 'speicies' in this field. That's n ot how things work. Backsword 04:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok. Will do. — ク Eloc 貢 15:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image Upload

I don't know who to ask about this, so I'll ask you. I'm trying to upload an image, but every time I try it comes up saying the file is corrupted or whatever. I tried redoing the image in other programs, but it still didn't work. Any advice? --Lustre Of Havoc 05:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe try uploading another image as a test image to see if your other things work. If not, try making a new copy of that image by just cropping out the image from paint program or something like that and putting it into a new file. — ク Eloc 貢 15:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I did, and the second picture was too big. I found that saving the picture in Paint works, but the size is too large. It's confusing because I see a lot of pics larger than this one. --Lustre Of Havoc 19:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

What format is the image you are trying to upload? Also, there's no specific limit to how big the files can be (I think). It just recommends that it not be higher than a certain size. — ク Eloc 貢 00:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe the two I tried were .psp and .bmp, which is Paint Shop Pro and Paint. --Lustre Of Havoc 01:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure neither of those are valid file extensions. For the Paint Shop Pro, there should be an option to export it as a .jpg. As for the .bmp, it might be acceptable, but the only problem with them are they have huge file sizes, hence why it probably wouldn't take it. In Paint, click save as and save it as a .jpg file and it should be fine. Other extension which are accepted by the server here would be .gif and .png incase you wanna use those formats. — ク Eloc 貢 01:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Thanks a lot, Eloc. I hope it works. --Lustre Of Havoc 01:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Np. Tell me if you run into any more problems. — ク Eloc 貢 16:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I feel..

This great need to steal a bunch of your user boxes. I also feel the great desire to giggle at them. §Azhure Sun Soar 08:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Go for it, I have the biggest collection here on GWW :D — ク Eloc 貢 15:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP 64.178.154.131

Is there any particular reason you decided yet again to claim ownership of an IP address? I thought it had already been decided that no one can claim ownership of an IP. While you may not be redirecting it as you did last time, if for any reason your IP address changed and a vandal got hold of it you could end up getting blocked since you have posted that it belongs to you (you have taken full responsibility for anything that IP address does). I have again tagged it for deletion U2 for this reason. --Kakarot 13:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it's pretty safe to say looking at how far back the contributions date that it's not going to change anytime soon. Also, my town where I live has a really small GuildWars community. Like at best, 5 people. It's mostly WoW here. — ク Eloc 貢 16:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] so u...

...r a friend of icon redirects as well? —ZerphaThe Improver 16:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I guess so. Is that a bad thing? — ク Eloc 貢 16:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

No, i'm glad you support it. :) I'll upload all those trophy icons in 64x64px format with proper naming (according to their article's name), add a specific icon category to them and a redirection. —ZerphaThe Improver 16:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, sweet deal =D — ク Eloc 貢 14:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] gww leader

my guild leader wants to know who's the leader of gww? maybe the founder or the highest staff idk..--Ridz16 20:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

ArenaNet are technically the highest rank, as they have control of the servers and aren't regulated directly by the community -- the rest of us (users, sysops and bureaucrats) are all decided within the community. However, ArenaNet don't really play a part in administrative issues or wiki-side stuff (like policy, user issues or content), so that's left to us normals. They also choose to follow the policies we've created, to an extent. Guild Wars Wiki:Adminship explains. -- Brains12 \ Talk 21:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I am. lol, jk. I'd say the closest things to leaders here would be the Sysops and the Bureaucrats. A list of them can be found here. — ク Eloc 貢 02:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:User Eloc Raph.jpg

This image contains Microsft content (the Windows Aero interface); MS content cannot be uploaded under the GFDL legally. I've tagged the image as a copyio and it will be deleted. Please do not upload MS content; this isn't the fist time you've been on the wrong side of a Microsoft copyvio - don't do it again please. -- Indochine talk 15:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Are you serious? Maybe we should also delete all the screenshots taken of webpages because they contain part of the Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari/whatever interface. Calor 15:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, I’m serious. To start with, Firefox is licensed under the GPL, which is compatible with the GFDL - so that's fine on the wiki. Opera is Proprietary software, so I doubt that its screenshots could be licensed under the GFDL. IE - that's MS, so no. Basically, any free software that it compatible with the GFDL can be uploaded here. Same with Safari is LGPL, so that should be OK. So – it depends on what is in the image if it can be uploaded here. See GWW:COPY. Thanks, -- Indochine talk 15:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, do keep in mind I uploaded that like 5 months ago. It was an honest mistake and shouldn't happen again in the future. — ク Eloc 貢 17:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem Eloc, didn't read the date :P -- Indochine talk 17:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft's really gonna care about this, aren't they? :/ -- Armond Warblade 02:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I highly doubt they'd ever get mad about a couple screenshots on a wiki, but w/e I suppose. — ク Eloc 貢 19:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, but better safe than sorry. -- Indochine talk 19:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I can really see Microsoft suing ArenaNet's ass off because a few 15-25 year old users uploaded images with a few pixels of Aero interface... Calor 19:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Drop it, Calor. Rules are rules and laws are laws. -- Indochine talk 20:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

No fighting on my talk page :P — ク Eloc 貢 20:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

lets fight on elocs talk page --Cursed Angel 20:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Indochine... Image:Bug.jpg. So like, you think we should delete that one too? I think you're being a bit too serious about this. -- Mini Me 20:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I think we need some sort of policy on this as it is kind of hard to show bugs for the wiki if you are not allowed to show a screenshot. — ク Eloc 貢 20:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

what's the prob with that? Image:User Y0 ich halt it not work..jpg is a screen, too. - Y0_ich_halt 20:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, we should delete that image aswell. You can show screenshots, just as long as they only include GFDL content. Now stop getting at me for this - go to the Anet legal department. -- Indochine talk 21:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Gah, you're horrible. Those screens have been there for quite a long time already, and it never was a problem. -- Mini Me 21:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) No, don't assume 'No one complain = no problem'. It's always been a problem, as non-GFDL content has never neen allowed on this wiki. -- Indochine talk 21:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) If you want the copyright rules changed, do what Indochine says and ask ArenaNet. Simply lambasting someone for following copyright laws won't change anything. Oh, and Mini Me, last time I checked, that's a flawed argument. -- Brains12 21:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

So like, if we want to report SOMETHING, and we use IE or we need a windows thing open to REPORT it, it gets impossible to report because we're breaking the law/rules, right? Ups.

So who exactly do we contact about those rules again? -- Mini Me 21:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Merely using IE is not breaking any copyright. Posting screenshots of IE on a site which states that any uploaded images must be available under the GFDL is. Please don't make baseless (and false) arguments. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) see Image talk:User Kurd modtutorial 1.png and User talk:Shadowphoenix/Copyright Proposal 1 for two examples where I tried to explain (or linked to explanations) the copyright situation.. poke | talk 21:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
