[edit] User images policy

I see you have image links on your user page for your characters - before you upload them, please see [1] for user image policy, particularly naming. Images should be named "User_Elveh_xxxx". Shotmonkey 11:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I know, it's one of the reasons why I've not added any pictures yet. I need to sort them out first, then rename them... I usually don't have the time. For now, it's just a bunch of dead links that are waiting to be replaced by something that a) works and b) is named properly. -- Elveh 15:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Just change the name at uploading. Make the code, and then upload following the red link.reanor 15:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll do it for you. Hope you won't mind.reanor 15:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. I also fixed you armor links :Dreanor 15:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ZOMG Linguists FTW! :D

Yay, I just read that you're a linguist, too! I say we hatch an evil plan to take over the world! May the formants be with us! Kokuou 08:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

i be very afraid --Cursed Angel 23:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Linguists can't take over the world.reanor 04:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure we can. In fact, I already have. I've been the world's sovereign for years. Unfortunately, the world is rather insubordinate and refuses to acknowledge me. Then again, that's just a minor detail. ;) -- Elveh 09:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Because it was off topic...

I've already linked you as a credit line [Seen here], and it works fine. Eventually I'll figure out how to use the pronunciation thing but otherwise, I'd like to thank you for the template and the many other people the template was probably inspired by. Vanguard16:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. The pronunciation key is just something I've added for a laugh, because I'm a linguist and I'm odd that way. Well, I really just added because I thought it'd be nice to give people an idea of how to pronounce the names of my characters. I wish more people were familiar with the IPA (English), if only so they could teach me how to pronounce the names of their characters. It's a nerdy thing, though, so if you'd rather have a template without pronunciation key, I can help you set it up. :) -- Elveh 16:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The most I can do is like, my character Jolei, I can be all "Joh-lie" but not those funky letters and mess you see in the dictionary pronunciation mess. Vanguard16:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It's a linguist's thing, like I said. It's very convenient if you're into phonetics, but for most people it might as well be Greek. I remember my first Phonetics lecture quite clearly- I felt quite scared at the thought that I'd have to learn all those symbols and their corresponding sounds by heart! If you feel up to the challenge of learning the IPA that would be cool, but I can totally see why you'd just want to stick to a more simplified version of a pronunciation guide. :) -- Elveh 17:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind the thing on the template, it'll just have to be an extra thing. I don't feel like going back to reset all the info again after plugging in a template over it. Vanguard17:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I can imagine, it's very time-consuming. I'm planning on creating a second template with different shadings per profession, and I'm not looking forward to it. It's something I want to do to get the colours just the way I want them, but I know it's going to take ages to complete. -_-* -- Elveh 17:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It's funny how when you first take linguistics, you're afraid you're never going to memorize them all, but eventually they become second nature to you (well, at least the ones used in English, anyway). I actually have shirts with IPA on them, and people think they're another language. :D Kokuou 20:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

/agree. Having mastered IPA, I couldn't think of a better, more logical way of explaining pronunciation than by using something as universal as the IPA. :) -- Elveh 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit]  :)

Your ele page is broken - it refers to character tables instead of character table. FYI ;) Ale_Jrb (talk)

It should, I'm working on a new template. Thanks for mentioning it though. :) -- Elv 23:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

BTW just a suggestion, I think your GuildWiki picture is much better than the one you have here.reanor 00:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

You mean the one of me dressed up as a Mesmer? :) -- Elv 00:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That one.reanor 01:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

But I look so moody in it! xD -- Elv 01:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just my opinion, make a motion if you want to.reanor 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hope its ok if I jump in. I think both pics are nice but if I had to choose, I'd pick one here. Anyway noticed tabs on the side. Mind if I *ahem* steal ur coding? Credit will be given, naturally. Barinthus 08:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, I'll make a 'vote for your favourite Elv pic' page and let popular demand decide. [coughs]

As for stealing coding- go right ahead, I don't mind. I've stolen other people's coding myself often enough, and I'm glad that people like mine enough to steal mine. :) -- Elv 08:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I like this picture, Elvy. -- Alyrrae 17:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded a screenie of me taken today on cam. Yay for keeping pics recent and up to date? xD -- Elv 21:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

If you wish to use the image for a Mursaat Token as your sig, you need to reupload your own version of it, and redirect it to your user or user talk page. More info can be found on Guild Wars Wiki:Sign your comments#Images. -- br12 • (talk) • 17:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, changed in a blink. :) -- Elv 18:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hey elvy

Hi its Kagome, I hope this message works :P -- KStarviper 01:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Hello, I am new to wiki and was wondering if I could use your template for my user page? If the answer is no thats fine. Johnny 03:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course you can use my template, I really don't see why not. :) -- Elv 09:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou, I put your name in my credits section. :D Johnny 11:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

Your userpage looks real weird.. it like stretches way to the left.. ^Teo^ 19:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to work properly in all browsers, nor with all resolutions. I need to give it a makeover some time but I'm just too busy right now. :) -- Elv 20:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

hmm.. ok. :p ^Teo^ 20:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Just browsing, can't even remember how I got to your page, part of that is because I enjoyed it so much and spent a long time here :D . I really loved the descriptions you gave to your characters, it's something I've been meaning to do for mine but never got around to (considering I only just got around to making my userpage after intending to do it months ago might give you a clue how slow I am at adding stuff ;) ). Anyway, I deviate, great work on your page(s) and thank you for making my visit so enjoyable. Draco 06:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay, it's always good to hear that someone appreciated the work you put into your pages. Do let me know when yours are entirely presentable, and I'll definitely have a good look around. :) -- Elv 07:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heya Elv :)

Heya, i hope you're fine. Just to tell you i've used your vanquish template tables cause they are very useful and well made. I put your name in the bottom of the page where i used them. Take care. Davor Belegnaur 09:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

To be perfectly fair, I stole the general concept from Gem. All I really did was take out the mapping bits, and make my own ticks (which I see you're not even using). So while I made the modifications to create the table you ended up nabbing, I think it's only fair to credit Gem as well. :)

I am in fact fine, thank you, and thanks for dropping a line. :) -- Elv 11:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I added Gem in the credits too and good to see you arround :) Davor Belegnaur 12:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
