[edit] Links in cinematic dialogue

why are you removing them, if I may ask? :o — Why 10:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Imo I don't think dialogue should have links in it. Especially if we put it on the mission pages as well. — Seru Talk 15:34, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Good point. — Why 17:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drama level

Please remember that it is still Lemming's user space, so it would be nice to leave the decision if the level has changed to him. poke | talk 20:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I think Wiki-war was averted. And before ya say it, yeah, no thanks to me XD — Wolf 20:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm still going to wear my haz-mat suit, just in case. -- WoB 00:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Nah man, you dont need that unless your going around my sandbox XD — Wolf 00:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Haha, perhaps. -- WoB 01:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

>_< — Seru Talk 01:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Seru, in my opinion you did the right thing....even if it was "wrong to do". . .just wanted to get that message across to you. -- WoB 01:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

*shrugs* — Seru Talk 01:22, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging copyvios

When you tag copyvios could you please specify the source of the copyvio. If you don't know the source, try asking the uploader. It's helpful when it comes to deleting the images and if people wish to dispute the candidacy for deletion. Thanks, -- Indochine talk 19:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Will do — Seru Talk 20:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey, don't edit other peoples user pages.

Just letting you know, never edit someones user page other than your own. Thanks, --'ÑöẊĭƑý 23:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Um, I was scanning thorugh his contribs and saw nothing, can you please clearify? Don't take me wrong or anything. -- WoB 23:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

http://www.wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=User:NoXiFy/Noxify_The_Savior&action=history removed a section of my User Page. --'ÑöẊĭƑý 23:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

that could easily be explained. . . you were on a IP, he didn't know and thought it was vandelisim. Please log-in to aviod confusion. -- WoB 23:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I shouldn't have to login to make a change to my own User Page. Just never ever ever EVER EVER touch anyones page but your own. And what he did was a violation of [1]--'ÑöẊĭƑý 23:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

If people should "never ever ever EVER EVER touch anyones page but your own" then surely that also applies to random IPs changing people's user pages. How was he/are we meant to know who's IP who's.- TheRave (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude, jujst set it to remember you so you stayed logged in. — Wolf 23:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I somewhat agree with Noxify. When an anonymous edit to a userpage looks legitimate, assume good faith. Don't revert unless it's obvious vandalism, e.g. replacing things with LOLNOOB and whatnot. By the way - Noxify, could you use internal links [[like this]]? -- Brains12 \ talk 23:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry i guess I wont try and stop unknown people from editing your page. I did check the history and that ip had never changed the page before. It's not like i just reverted an IPs edits. — Seru Talk 23:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

If only this applied to Izzy's page as well... Noctarch 23:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

And before you get on me about policies don't remove comments from my talk page. — Seru Talk 23:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, if we want to wiki-lawyer things, remember that AGF is just a guideline, not a policy. You can't really "violate" a guideline (you could totally rape the meaning of it, though).--Fighterdoken 00:14, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

That reminds me of the Codex in PotC... "only guidlines." Noctarch 01:30, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

The Code is law! lol — Wolf 02:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

"Just a guideline" doesn't mean it can't be enforced or violated. I'd say assuming good faith is more important than some of our other policies; it forms the basis of a wiki. -- Brains12 \ talk 14:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I can usually AGF but you can't always assume good faith when its an IP editing a userpage, because IPs do not have a userpage. If its obvious that an IP has edited the page before then i don't mess with it, but it that case that was a different IP then previously edited with. — Seru Talk 21:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Taking a look at the edit in question would help in such a case - if it looks like vandalism, revert; in any other case, I'd say just leave it. It really depends on what the edit comprises of. -- Brains12 \ talk 23:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism to one person isn't the same to another. — Seru Talk 23:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Can I ask how moving something from incomplete to complete is vandalism? -- Brains12 \ talk 23:58, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

If i edited one of your pages like that would that be vandalism? — Seru Talk 00:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Different scenario. I, as well as others, know for sure that you are not me; we own different user accounts and there's no way that my userpage is your userpage. Your edit would probably be reverted, unless it was a maintenance edit or something. With an IP editing a userpage, it's possible that the IP is that user; you can assume good faith and not look at the edit at all, or you could look at the edit and come to an educated guess as to whether it is that user logged out (and assume some good faith and leave it) or a malicious edit. A user can be both registered and unregistered, whereas you cannot be both you and me. -- Brains12 \ talk 00:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Even if i used an IP, not my account — Seru Talk 00:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah; if, for some reason, you used an IP and edited a character page of mine and changed a goal from incomplete to complete, I'd hope people left it. It could be me; I could have completed something in-game, come onto the wiki but not logged in, and updated my character page. Completely plausible and no reason, really, why it should be reverted -- from the points of view of other people. When the real me comes online, I'd revert because I'm the only person who knows for sure that it wasn't me. If it was me on an IP, I'd expect the situation to be the same; plausible unregistered edit and un-reverted. -- Brains12 \ talk 00:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) So... could we just sum this up to "Don't revert anon edits on userpages unless you first check what the changes are and only if you are sure the changes are vandalism"? The first statement from Noxify looks like an exageration (and is not really valid anyways, maintenance happends), and Brains standing seems like an attempt to generalize his own point of view over the issue.--Fighterdoken 00:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for backing me up Brains. Anyway, you should get the point now. You going and reverting random peoples user pages because an anon made an edit is prettym uch trolling. --'ÑöẊĭƑý 19:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

*sigh* You guys tend to take conversations too far and they end up into who wins the convo. I'm starting to agree with Auron about you Noxify. — Seru Talk 21:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What do you think?

How does the GW1 suggestion page look to you, messy, normal, decent, or "I really don't care"? -- WoB 00:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I like how you didn't include anything positive optimistic for him to pick. :P — Galil 00:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Lol. Well... it is tagged for clean-up xD -- WoB 01:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] your talk page

doesn't have enough headings. - Y0_ich_halt 14:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

wrong page much? - Y0_ich_halt 19:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

srsly. — Wolf 21:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I know i need more stuff for my talk page! i get like one a week :( — Seru Talk 21:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess I'm not cool enough yet to have a frequently used talk page. XD — Wolf 21:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You mean your 9000 userspace edit aren't enough? *shocked* I thought everything over 9000 means its cool. Maybe its your 10 mainspace edits ;) — Seru Talk 21:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Considering I have a little over 1900 contribs? — Wolf 21:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

900.0? looks the same :D — Seru Talk 22:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

lol! — Wolf 22:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

O yeah do you want your talk page fixed? — Seru Talk 22:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Fixed? — Wolf 22:05, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah in foxfire your few words box in in line with your header making the page bigger than the screen. its quite odd. and then the text doesnt start until after the bottom of the main header. — Seru Talk 22:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Yeah i made a fix for ya by changing a little code here and example here. — Seru Talk 22:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

It's fine for me. — Wolf 22:24, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

— Seru Talk 22:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

lol, Thats funny, and odd. — Wolf 22:27, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

not much better for me. the box is horizontally centered, but with a line break after the TOC box. - Y0_ich_halt 12:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Does my fixed example work for you? — Seru Talk 20:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Idk, forgot to try, was working on something else at the time. — Wolf 21:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

yours is even worse, seru, as it puts the box behind the talk heading (with the wolf logo) and then squeezes the text inbetween heading and TOC. (the heading box is not stretched to 100% width automatically in ff3). - Y0_ich_halt 21:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

wants to fix? :D — Seru Talk 21:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ahh!

I should prob use a sandbox before I submit it, mind telling me what was "off"? -- WoB 22:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Made the sections only be about 70% of the page width. — Seru Talk 22:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok mind changing it on my sandobx? It was meant to be a harmless edit =\. -- WoB 22:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
