Licensing

Say there was an image on gwiki uploaded by an anon. I took this image and cropped it or moved it to a new name. The old name gets deleted. Now it looks like I uploaded it. If someone copies it here, without the permission of the original author, isn't that violating copyright? - - BeXoR 23:48, 8 February 2007 (PST)

That actually couldn't happen as anon users can't upload files to GuildWiki (don't know if that is the case here or not). If however a registered user did that then, yes I believe you are correct. There is no way of checking that, as once an image is deleted it is gone forever and without a trace. As old versions of images should not have been deleted unless they are the "reverted to an earlier version of the file" type, I'm making this assumption. If you could leave a note on Gares' page asking him if that is what he did (re-sized/re-uploaded the image) I'd appreciate it. --Rainith 23:56, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Oh it wasn't in reference to Gares's image, but I'll do that for you anyway. It's just a lot of "my" images on gwiki aren't mine. I wanted to make sure people didn't take them and put them here when they aren't really mine. I made a notice on my gwiki user page about it earlier. Better to be safe than sorry. - - BeXoR 00:17, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Correct me if I am wrong, but does not Arena Net hold the absolute copyright to all graphics taken from within their Guild Wars game? I have not read the EULA word for word, but as most would say this, I am sure theirs does too. If this is true, then any and all images taken from within the game are automatically OK to put on here, regardless of whomever uploaded them, as it is in fact Arena Net's officially sanctioned and operated Guild Wars Wiki server. Would this also mean that any modifications to in-game images are also covered (cropped, lightened, etc.), as they are based on copyrighted works by Arena Net? If any doubt exists, a check with Arena Net officials would surely and quickly clear this matter now and in the future. EMonk 18:59, 10 February 2007 (PST)

Actually according to GWW:CONTENT nothing from the game can currently be used as irregardless of who owns the copyright, putting it on the wiki would release it via the GFDL. It has been asked to Gaile to speak with ANet's legal folks to clarify what can and can't be used. So to be honest, I'm not sure what you can and can't use. --Rainith 19:05, 10 February 2007 (PST)

I just read a related discussion with Gaile. Appears word from the lawyers will be in next week. My original intent of the above was just to non-professionally state that any image taken from within Guild Wars and put on the GuildWiki could not be copyrighted by the uploading "author". Therefore, GFDL licensed by uploading author would be irrelevant (they never had copyrights to begin with). Now that I can see the other side of this issue, this may end up being the #1 sore spot for this Wiki. Personally, I would suggest turning off image uploads until this matter is resolved, but this is not my call. I dare not speculate any further, and anxiously await the news from corporate. EMonk 19:30, 10 February 2007 (PST)

Yeah, sorry, I meant to link to that discussion but I forgot. It isn't my call to shut off image uploads either, but you'll notice, I haven't uploaded any myself. And I won't until we get word as to what we can and can't post. --Rainith 19:32, 10 February 2007 (PST)

Sysops

"I tend to concur with S and LordBiro on this one. I do think we need a clear and open way to demote a sysop if there is an issue. It should not happen like it did on GuildWiki recently (IMO)."

Since I have been away for a bit, can you give me a link to what happened there please? --Xeeron 03:39, 10 February 2007 (PST)

Here and if you really want a long read (mostly people's reaction to what Tanaric did), read the first two sections here. I said my piece on Tanaric's page (bottom of the first section) if you're interested in a more detailed explanation of my views on the subject. --Rainith 03:44, 10 February 2007 (PST)

Thx. That helps me understand where people come from on the adminship policy discussion. --Xeeron 04:52, 10 February 2007 (PST)

From your user page

Sorry for bringing stuff over from the other Wiki. I was just under the impression that the community would be responsible for getting the "new" Wiki up to speed. Tyring to do my part as an avid user of course, not pirate anything. I will desist with anymore attempts. Thank you for the heads up. Isn't trying to track down all the original contributors monumental for the GFDL? Again, sorry.FyrFytr998 04:24, 11 February 2007 (PST)

(— Skuld 04:25, 11 February 2007 (PST))

No problem FyrFytr998, you aren't the only one who was unaware of it. And thanks for the move to the userpage Skuld. --Rainith 04:32, 11 February 2007 (PST)

I'd like to get your opinion on this. Thanks. — Gares 14:03, 11 February 2007 (PST)

Spell confusion

Hi - I notice that you are a "person what does stuff", for example, you have moved a couple of my talk/temp copyvio replacements (thanks for that.) As such, could I bring to your attention a minor problem I'm having? You may or may not have noticed that I have created 90% of the Elite Skills pages, and edited the rest to match. The problem is, they all start off the same way, i.e. Elite Enchantment Spell, Elite Axe Attack and so on.

The problem is, I noticed that someone changed the start of Icy Veins to read Elite Hex Spell. Now, that's not a major problem in itself (categories still need to be sorted out) BUT on investigation I noticed that Enchantment Spell is a redirect to Enchantment, whereas Hex redirects to the non-existant Hex Spell o_O.

Sorry if you're not the person to mention this to - you just happen to have the largest deletion log :D --Snograt whisper 18:56, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Random rant here, but I wish those articles were called Axe attack or Enchantment spell. It really bugs me when all nouns are capitalized. :( - BeXoR 19:11, 26 February 2007 (EST)

I agree, BeXoR, but at the moment I just wish those articles WERE articles! --Snograt whisper 19:56, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Lol - I've just noticed the content of Axe Attack - "An axe attack is an attack that can only be initiated with an axe." Pretty concise, I guess!--Snograt whisper 20:00, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Hey, you know someone might have been confused about that! :P - BeXoR 20:01, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Lol. Sorry, just have to make a mental note to see if I can (under the current policy) change my sig to 'Rainith - he gets things done'.

On to your question, Snograt. Short answer, I don't know. Longer answer, ask on the skills' formatting page. I know on GuildWiki (yes, I know we aren't GuildWiki), the leading part of the skill description (Elite Hex Spell, Axe Attack, Spell, etc...) was completely left out, which I didn't agree with, but I was in the minority. (And if that is how they are capitalized in the game, I would argue that that is how we should continue to capitalize them.) That probably doesn't really answer your question, and I'm sorry, it is Monday and I'm tired and work kinda sucked today and I am not in the best mood to try to figure it out, but I will (eventually, when the rambling ends) try to answer your question.

Let's see, the best I can come up with, is that since we are still really in the formative stages of this wiki, you could go and edit those articles, even the ones that are redirects and put your personal spin on how you think they should work. If people disagree with you, they're sure to let you know, and the talk pages for those articles would be the best place for those discussions to occur. I hope somewhere in there you can find an answer to the question you had. If not I apologize, ask me the question again, and I'll try to answer it better. --Rainith 22:12, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the reply and for pointing me in the right direction :) --Snograt - He gets easily confused 22:23, 26 February 2007 (EST)

I hadn't realised that was how they are capitalized in game, so that's fair enough. I am all for including the "Hex Spell" part in front of skill descriptions. I hate having to look at the box to find out. And I changed your redirect Snog, in game it says Hex Spell, so Hex should have been the redirect. :) - BeXoR 23:56, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Argh, that's how I had it originally, but someone else changed it. I have a bad habit of always assuming that other people know better than I :) Oh, and shall we let Rainith have his talk page back now? :D --Snograt whisper 00:09, 27 February 2007 (EST)

NEVARR!!! *sticks an aussie flag down* - BeXoR 00:14, 27 February 2007 (EST)

No worries mates. Also, please double check to make sure that I am correct and that it is capitalized that way in game. I'm 90%+ sure that it is, but hey, I've been known to be wrong before. --Rainith 00:16, 27 February 2007 (EST)

I logged in to check before I changed it. I don't have the greatest memory so I pretty much have to double check everything. :P - BeXoR 00:17, 27 February 2007 (EST)

Question

Hi, I'm leaving this message here because I found your name on the Bestiary/NPC... formatting talk pages @ GuildWiki. We're currently trying to create a formatting guide for it here as well, but so far without sufficient response. I'd appreciate it if you could drop by and leave your comment(s). Initial discussion started here, but is continued here. Thanks in advance ;). --Erszebet 09:47, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Copyvio

Ah, understood - including the entire history etc. I changed everything in there from nominaeblack's cut n paste version, but didn't quite grasp that the whole thing needed to be deleted. I'll know in future :) Thnx Rainith Fox 17:10, 7 March 2007 (EST)

No problem. I just don't like "taking credit" from people, if a new page is made and I just move it, the original author's "credit" remains.  :) --Rainith 17:15, 7 March 2007 (EST)

Screenshots

Should we go ahead and put the Arenanet copyright tag on all screenshots we upload? The Ice Master 18:58, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Yes, any screen taken from the game is under ANet copyright. --Rainith 22:27, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

OpenSearch Plugin

I tried posting on the front page discussion about the OSP fix for Firefox.

But apparently, no one reads it or just skips over everything else.

There is a space in the OSP at the very top of the file that throws up an error in Firefox. Fx hates bad xml syntax. That space has to be removed for the plugin to be useful to Firefox users.

A little Help?

I'm sill somewhat new to wiki code, and I'm unsure where to find information on making a sub-page for my user page. My specialty lies in taking great screen shots for pages, not in making the pages. lol Any help you can offer would be great, thanks. J.Kougar

Simply create a link to that page somewhere, and then click on the link to edit that new page. For example, User:J.Kougar/My Characters. Another way is to enter the name of that page (such as User:J.Kougar/My Characters) in the Search field, and click on Go. It'll show a screen telling you that it can't find the result, offering a link to click to create the page. There's a few other ways to do this I think, but these are the most popular. --Dirigible 02:23, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Thanks, thought it was more complicated than that. lol Sorry. J.Kougar

Well I can see I'm not needed here.  :) --Rainith 10:25, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Copyvio problem!

*randomly picks an admin* Please review all of the changes by 218.186.12.10 having a look down the list almost all of the later edits are copyright violation which verges on vandalism due to the complete disregard for our formatting guidelines. Each will have to be visited and the non-violated versions restored. I'm not sure what I need to do to help out with the clean up. I'll update after looking further. --Aspectacle 05:38, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

All but edits to: Dragon's Lair (outpost), Random Arenas, The Jade Arena are glaring copy violations. The new pages I'll slap copyvio tags on but I'd appreciate some assistance with the others. --Aspectacle 05:55, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Editing question: Summary

Hello! I posted on the how to help page. You replied and offered for me to post here with any questions. I'm taking you up on that if you have a free moment. :-) Just a quick question. I cannot find on the Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting page or any where else what the Summary box below the section you are editing means. I've just been leaving it blank on my posts. What should I enter there? Should I enter anything for a minor edit? Also, what counts as a "minor edit?" (when do I check the "This is a minor edit" box. Thanks!! --Mask 00:25, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Hi again.  :) The summary box can be used to display additional information about the edit that you have done. This info is displayed in the history of the article (click the history button at the top of the page) and also in Special:Recentchanges. Use it if you want to tell people about the edit that you've just done, keep your summaries short as there is a character limit for what will be displayed (I don't know what it is but it is about a line or so of text on a 1280x1024 monitor). No one is required to use Summaries, but they can be helpful for people who patrol Recent changes watching edits and checking for vandalism. Click the minor edit box for minor edits, if you fixed a spelling/grammar error, added 1 sentence to a 3 page long article, etc... Again it is a courtesy thing, and no one is required to use it. It is asked that if you are making edits to your user page that you check the minor edit box. I hope that helps, if I didn't answer a question, ask me again.  :) --Rainith 00:33, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Thanks!!! :-) --Mask 00:41, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Adding Images

*approaches on knees with puppy dog eyes* Could I bother you with another newb question, Rainith?? :-) Can you direct me to any kind of "wiki images for dummies" type page? I've read through Guild Wars Wiki:Image use and a few other pages like it. I get the general idea of the picture polices. I just don't know how to actually do it. I don't know if there is one particular page to load them to? Is every picture it's own "page"? I could really use a "for beginners" type photo editing and uploading information page. If you don't know one, then NM. :-) I'm on the hunt. I'll find it eventually. :-) Thanks! --Mask 02:14, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Well, crap. I didn't realize that GWW:IMAGE didn't show how to add images. *sigh* I'm getting old and forgetful I guess. :/ Ok, if you're looking to upload an image for an article you put [[Image:Imagename.jpg]] in the page. Then when you save or use the show preview button you'll get a red link for Imagename.jpg. Click on that red link and you'll get taken to the Upload page. You can also use the Upload file link in the toolbox to the left. This will just upload the image though, it will not put it in any article, unless there is an article with a red link of the same name. There is a lot more code that you can use to modify how images are shown in articles and I didn't really touch on any of that here. Does this give you enough info to get going? If not, you can try the Extended image syntax page on Wikipedia. I've got to work in the morning, so I probably won't be on much longer tonight.  :( --Rainith 02:34, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

That does help actually. I'm just going to have to try it and have someone check my work. I'll add something to my page and have someone give it a look-see some time. Thanks again! :-) --Mask 15:55, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Builds

Hey Rainith, I just deleted a build without adding a deletion notice. I noticed you just added a deletion notice to a build :) I just wondered if there was a procedure that I should be following? Would you say it's better to add a notice? LordBiro 18:47, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Actually I just haven't paid attention to the discussion about builds on this wiki and didn't want to wipe it out if a decision had been arrived at that I was unaware of. I just figured it was safer that way.  :) --Rainith 18:50, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks

Is AdminReview completely pointless?

(I'm posting this here because you're a sysop, and I think all the sysops have each other's pages watchlisted. I know I do - this is not a personal reflection =P ) Does anyone actually bother looking at the users tagged with {{admin review}}? For example, [1]. The user has since removed the tag because no sysop ever took the time in the several days since that tag was added to say or do anything about it. Even the message left on the talk page after the tag removal ([2]) could be considered a violation of GWW:NPA, as well as all of the messages left in between insulting me and my guild. Really, what's the point of this system if the administrators don't enforce it? (Even at time of this post, Category:Admin review has a a candidate left over from yesterday). While I understand that people have lives, and that we have a limited number of sysops, (9, at least one of which that is completely inactive - until ratification of GWW:Adminship, bcrats still count as sysops), this is really one of the most important jobs of the administration team, as it's one that only they can do. Do we need to elect more sysops? In this particular case, it's not the fact that no punishment was given out that bothers me - that's not my decision to make. The thing that bothers me is that no one ever got around to it - is it wrong to be worried about that? MisterPepe talk 16:01, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

(quick post as I got a few mins time for net) I suggest posting on an admins talk page if the admin review template has no effect. I myself rarely check the admin review category, although I probably should check it daily. -- (gem / talk) 18:34, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

I usually check that category when I'm on - but have been on-line much less over the last month or two due to some distractions in the real world keeping me occupied. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:50, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

My personal thought is that with proposed Blocking policy it pretty much is. --Rainith 03:30, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

True, if that becomes policy, then the tag is totally meaningless. Blocks would only be done while the activity takes place. I didn't have that proposal on my watch list yet, I missed it being proposed. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:39, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

I only found out about it from Rainith's link, and in fact it looks like it isn't linked to from anywhere else, so it's not surprising you missed it, Barek! If this had been linked to from the policy article or from the community portal then it would have gained more visibility. LordBiro 14:12, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Honestly, as a non-sysop, I thought that {{Admin review}} was, rather than requesting a block, simply asking an administrator to look into the matter. In this case, Barek posting on the talk page seems to have been enough action - I'm not really sure what the blocking policy has to do with it, unless requesting bans is the stated purpose of the adminreview template. MisterPepe talk 15:38, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

If that is the case, what is the point of adding the admin review template as opposed to asking the contributor to not do whatever they were doing in the future? The only things that admins can really do that everyone else cannot do is delete and block. --Rainith 19:56, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Personally I've never been a huge fan of {{admin review}} or it's relatives on GWiki. I can understand its use for anonymous users, but can you imagine going to your talk page one day to find that there's a big box saying "admin review" with little or no explanation as to why? I'm not saying the template is used in this way, but I just think that discussing the problem with the user in question and, if that does not solve anything, going to a sysop is a much healthier procedure. LordBiro 04:49, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I agree ... I originally argued for keeping "admin review" as a less offensive version of GW's ban tag ... but within the last two months I've seen much more frequent use of the tags on both sites where they are slapped up with no attempt by the user to first address the problem with the person - and frequently with no explaination given in the tag itself. The use of these tags or even going to an admin should be a last resort, or used in cases where severe violations require rapid attention. But, seeing as users are more frequently slapping up the notices first and asking questions later, I'm open to re-evaluating the discussion at Template talk:Admin review - to look into using an admin noticeboard instead of these tags. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:03, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

On that note, I just reviewed the category and removed three of the tags with no action against the users - in all cases, the tags were placed without allowing time to resolve the issue by first trying to help or discuss the questioned postings with the users. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:27, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Should we just get rid of it? -- (gem / talk) 22:16, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

I think it should be kept as a way for an user to point someone who made things that are obvious vandalism (such as the offensive content on Arena Net's employers pages we got a while back; just blanking a page wouldn't merit it, for example, as that's a mistake a new user could make), nothing else. For example, if I saw such vandalism I would revert it, but then I wouldn't have a way of knowing if an admin would see the vandalism among the Recent Changes log. I also think that we should not be able to remove the admin review tag (since that kinda beats its purpose...), but I don't know if that's even possible in a wiki. Erasculio 22:47, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

License

Are you still opposed to changing the edit form agreement text to GFDL 1.2+? --Rezyk 20:35, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

If so, you might want to respond to the latest discussion at Guild Wars Wiki talk:Copyrights. --Rezyk 18:39, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

My apologies Rezyk. I saw this at work when you first posted it, didn't have time to respond, and then promptly forgot about it. Part of my original objection was due to a misunderstanding on my part (I won't try to explain it as I don't know that I could adequately explain my convoluted thought process ;) ), and while I think it has the potential to cause problems in the future, I don't think that will actually happen. So I guess that while I don't endorse it, I won't object either. --Rainith 22:24, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

No worries; I do that a lot too. =) --Rezyk 17:04, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Admin noticeboard

Heya, Rainith. Just letting you know of the new admin noticeboard page. Since {{admin review}} got fired after the discussion above, there was no easy route left for users to contact the admin team; hopefully the admin noticeboard will fill that gap. Cheers! --Dirigible 18:10, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

I've seen that abbreviation used a lot, and (if I recall correctly) a bunch of the times were by you. Being experienced in the ways of this "IIRC", could you teach an IIRC newb? Thanks. :P Armond 02:16, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Wait a minute? You were serious? I honestly thought you were joking, hence my (misspelled) reply of "I forget." The fact that you actually used the phrase that IIRC means (If I recall/remember correctly) in you question threw me. I apologize for not responding seriously to you question.  :( --Rainith 01:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Grandfathered Sysop RFAs

Just wondering if you could stop over Guild Wars Wiki talk:Requests for adminship#Grandfathered sysops, read it over, and give your opinion when you get a chance? Much appreciated. - Tanetris 17:10, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

sysop guide

Some people have started working on this, thought I'd leave you a note as you may find it useful, or may want to make some changes. --Xasxas256 04:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the link Xas. Had the time to give it a read thru (and watchlist it) and the current version looks pretty good (as of the time I write this). Unfortunately I've got to go now.  :( --Rainith 02:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio

I remember you fixing some copyvio stuff before (at least I think it was you). Could you explain what I should do with Barradin's Advance? It was tagged with copyvio and I wrote a /Temp to replace it. Am I supposed to delete the existing one and then move the Temp in its place? -- ab.er.rant 06:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Aberant.  :) Yeah I dealt with a bunch of that copyvio stuff a while back. What you need to do is move the /Temp version to the correct name. When you do that you'll get a warning that a page exists with that name already and it will ask you if you want to delete it. Tell it yes and it will delete the copyvio page and move the 'good' page to the correct name. Then you just need to go in and delete the redirect on the /Temp page. --Rainith 16:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

"Interesting" new site

Hiya Rainith! I just wanted to get your attention and point you in this direction. Check it out when you get a chance, and let me know if you have any questions! -- Emily Diehl (talk) 19:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

RfC

Greetings. I have started a request for confirmation discussion on the RfA page regarding your status as sysop. This is just the first step (which could pretty much end in nothing changing), but your input would be appreciated.--Fighterdoken 18:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Today's Vandal

First, thanks for the blocks and deletions. Second, to get rid of all his pages, I suggest you take a look at Special:Newpages. The newest page is another vandalism page. Calor 01:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Definitely quick work on this guy - props to ya, Rainith! Nbajammer 01:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Calor 01:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Got it. Don't know how I missed that one. --Rainith 01:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Reconfirmation

Hey Rainith. Due to large amounts of ridiculousness, I'm going to have to ask you to reconfirm. A handful of users feel that inactive sysops shouldn't be sysops anymore, and while the majority disagree, it only takes one to start a reconfirmation at this point by policy. If you want to go ahead and start the reconfirmation yourself, you can just archive the last one and put a new one in its place, or just give a nod and I can do that for you and you can fill in any sort of candidate statement you may want to make. If I don't hear from you within a week, I'll go ahead and start one anyway, since the policy says you have to be reconfirmed within 2 weeks or you lose sysop, and better a vote in absentia than no vote, right? Thanks. - Tanetris 18:17, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hiya Tanetris.  :) Go ahead and start the process for me would you? I'm stuck at work at the moment and won't have time to do anything until late tonight or tomorrow at the earliest. I'll add my statement when I get the chance. Fun little read by the way, and a big part of the reason I stopped involving myself in wikipolitics.  :/ --Rainith 19:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

All set up here whenever you get to it, and you've even got your first support vote (probably more by now). - Tanetris 20:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I must have missed that because I was annoyed when I was doing the stuff that I was because the vandal and issue archive was open in another tab and because they are over 100kb long it was lagging my FireFox and kept crashing on me. Thanks again. Cheers! -- Lacky 09:45, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I figured it was a typo, and if not that you'd correct me on it and expand on what you were trying to say.  :) --Rainith 22:45, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

^_^. Feel free to edit my edits anytime, it is a wiki after all. =P -- Lacky 06:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
