Why not just use Guild Wars Wiki:Sandbox? — ク Eloc 貢 17:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

This was a live demonstration for a coworker, and I didn't have time to make a sandbox page. I'm making a wiki of my own at work, and was showing off GWWT and the custom sig features. Lefick 23:16, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, that's pretty sweet. — ク Eloc 貢 00:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Drunkard IRL warning

"(While it is very amusing to get excessively drunk in game, it in no way is meant to endorse intoxication in real life. If you are old enough to drink - drink responsibly. If you are under age - Don't drink. And never, never drink and drive. This public service message was included to ensure that GW players will never be AFK for long.)"

Thinking back, I am still disappointed this simple disclaimer was not well received by those who hold a position of responsibility on this wiki. While this topic is basically closed, I would like to point out several real world issues I have seen that provides a lingering relevance to the topic after all.

• Recently, The Children's Television Workshop released the original episodes of "Sesame Street", on DVD with a warning that they are not suitable for children. Among many other things such as cookie monster teaching kids how to eat in a way that may trigger the onset of diabetes or obesity, they are concerned that just the opening scene shows several small children playing on a rock without helmets or other protective gear.
• Another PBS related show, "The War" by Ken Burns points out that many of the still photographs used in the representation of contemporary life during WWII will show people smoking cigarettes.
• The Movie "Pearl Harbor" staring Ben Afleck made the deliberate decision NOT to show ANYONE smoking in their otherwise historical representation of a major historical event.

Why would they do that?

They do not want to be sued if some kid gets hurt mimicking a shot in the show. They are distancing themselves from the modern perception that showing the public "bad" habits or behavior, you can be sued for it. I just felt I should point this out. Lefick 03:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
