Code halp

So, I had to search through my own talk pages because I once saw a character bar that I really liked, and eventually, I found yours! Because the images go into the menu and I always found that neat. However, I've come across a small roadblock. All the images are different sizes, and I'm wondering what part of the code could help fix that. Several images need their own special sizes, and I can micromanage that myself. I just don't know where in that mess to do it :P-- anguard 20:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Vanguard, I'm not sure I'm answering your question here but I think you mean the fact that the icons are hovering over the tabs themselves. Like the ranger icon is slightly above and to the right of Salome's name on the tab bar.

All of the important stuff can be found in this bit of code:

! style="width:9%" | <div style="position: relative; top:{{{relativ-top|30}}}px;">{{#if: {{{TabName1|}}} |[[Image:{{#var:image1}}.png |{{{size|30px}}}]]}}</div>

To adjust the position of the image you play about with the following bit of code:

{{{relativ-top|30}}}px

The numeric value there controls the vertical axis placement of the image, the higher the value, the lower the image will be into the tab.

Also you can resize the images by changing the values found in this bit of code:

{{{size|30px}}}

It should be noted however that in my use of the template, as found here, I override both of these values by containing the following usage:

| size=40px | relativ-top=27

which makes those values uniform across all tabs, regardless of whats in the source tab code, thus if you want to manually change each of the tabs pics to different sizes and placements, I would recommend manually changing the source tab template code.

Sorry for my wordy explanation, I'm always a bit crap at explaining my use of code as its mostly what I've cobbled together from things I've seen elsewhere which I've liked. Lensor would be able to help you more than I in this instance really, as I used hers as a template for my own. But I will help anyway I can matey. Regards -- Salome 21:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll attempt to figure it out on my own, but I might need to call on you to fiddle with it yourself, if that's okay D:-- anguard 14:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I got it :D-- anguard 14:56, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I really don't get it

I really do not understand why you are being such a hard head about this Nicholas link. Of course it is going to use something that isn't used elsewhere. The optional fields in the {{archive-box}} are perfectly viable and acceptable options. I don't understand why you can't be in any way flexibile. IMO it makes you a HORRIBLE candidate for Bcrat, and even worse as a sysop. -- Wyn talk 19:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Wyn, it is a shame that you interpret people not agreeing with you as being hard headed. I am also somewhat surprised that you still take intellectual disagreements about the formation of the wiki in such a personal manner. I know you care about this wiki, so do I and so do alot of people, being able to discuss what we care about in an open forum and how we would like the wiki to grow, is part of the joy of the wiki and the continual free flow of ideas is a positive thing. If you read my comments you will see that time and again I am trying to think up of solutions to this issue and I have not once suggested removing the link completely or have I tried to completely disregard other peoples suggestions. Instead I have repeatedly thought and rethought of ways we could compromise and make things work. Having an archive box which says "Alternative Nicholas Archive" when read as a normal user, does not make any sense. I am currently seeing if their is a way I could manually mod the archive box on that page, so that it can be both clear, prominent and useful to all users involved. Beyond that I have to say I fail to see why you are taking this so personally. As a sysop one knows that a user putting forward their point of view in a respectable manner is not to be confused with trolling or being disruptive. Thus far however many of your comments have been emotional and defensive throughout with continued comments that could just incite flames than you have continued to personal messages on both de konnings page and my own venting your frustration. To be honest I'm a bit surprised by that and a bit disappointed that you are letting your more emotional side over run the logical Wyn that I both care about and respect, thus in the interests of friendship may I ask that you both reread my messages as a friend rather than an adversary and take a new look at what I've been saying. All along I've been trying to work with you to find workable solutions, not against you. Be well Wyn and warm regards -- Salome 20:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

But modifying the archive box goes back to using a format that isn't used anywhere else, so you are contradicting yourself. As to taking this personally, I really am not, I just don't understand that absolute resistance to any of the suggestions that have been made. Considering there was no resistance at all to having the alternative dialogue actually ON the talk page for MONTHS, adding a simple, single line link at the top of the talk page seemed a very unobtrusive, and acceptable solution, and even poke agreed. The fact that you are lawyering against a permanent link (even though that appears to be the clearest way to make it clear it is NOT game factual, and trying to hide it away as another archive (which it is not) just doesn't make any sense. I am not saying this because you are disagreeing with ME, it's just prolonging something that really doesn't merit the amount of debate it has gotten, and I'm just dumbfounded at the whole thing. I really wish people would stop calling me emotional, because the only emotion I have exhibited is sheer disbelief at the absolute inability of some people to compromise. -- Wyn talk 20:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Wyn I'm not going to argue with you about if you have been emotional or not. If you feel you haven't been, then I won't tell you that you have. Either way instead of jumping on me, take a look at what I've been working on ever since you mentioned modding the archive box. (I have attached an image below. I just need to get the code right and I'm pestering a few guys to help me code it, I also think if we made this change to the archive box template as an extra variable it might come in handy in the future if this ever arises again in the future. What do you think? -- Salome 20:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I think it's great. And you might want to move your question (not this whole topic, please, that talk page is already long enough) to the relevant talk page. Just so as to not fuel anymore of the ramblings about elitism, etc. that have already plagued that discussion. -- FreedomBound 20:31, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

We don't need to modify the code of the archive box actually, we could just use something like {{archive box|[[/link 1]]<br>[[/link 2]]<br><hr><center><b>Fan Fiction</b></center><hr>[[User:Wakawaka/link 3]]}}--Fighterdoken 20:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Fighter, you are an absolute STAR!!! You can have my first born!!!! :) -- Salome 20:47, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

On the topic that won't go away

I appreciate your efforts to craft a compromise on the link/don't-link for the non-canonical Nick. Thank you.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 02:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks Ernie. That really does mean alot to me. :) -- Salome 23:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome. PS please call me TEF (for some reason, no one else uses, Ernie).   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 02:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

That's a total invitation to troll Ernie. Misery 06:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

You kept a level head there and conveyed what were basically my views with a lot more eloquence, tact and diplomacy than I could have. IMO needs more Salomes here :) Jennalee 11:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Was really worried that I just annoyed alot of peeps during that convo so I'm glad that people realised I wasn't trying to be an arse. Thus once again guys, thanks alot, it does mean alot to me. :) -- Salome 18:15, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

hi

don't ever do that again, please. -Auron 07:05, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Other side to the story?

I imagine there's another side to the current drama that resulted in B'crat voting changes. I'd be interested in hearing your side (either here or via email). Thanks.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 07:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

This may partially answer your question if you were unaware of it. Misery 08:24, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Misery. That partially answers my question.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 08:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Seriously Ernie, that was the best response I've had to that statement today. I don't know why, but I laughed really hard at the way you worded that. Perhaps there is something wrong with me. Misery 08:38, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, I hope it was a good just because laugh. (Perhaps there is something wrong with you: while I took pains to word my response for a possible snicker, it hardly rates a laugh unless it was entirely at my expense.)   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 09:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I think I am easily amused. What a horrible affliction. Erm, I think I also drifted off topic, so any further responses should probably be directed to my talk page, it's mostly full of irrelevant crap anyway. Misery 09:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I have responded on the talk page of the page in question. Hopefully I will have answered you there, if not please tell me and I will answer any questions you may have. -- Salome 12:25, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I think that addresses my concern that people might have been reacting in advance of having all the facts. I appreciate you taking the time to respond candidly to the issues raised.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 08:14, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

No worries TEF, anytime man. :) -- Salome 09:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Emails

Do you check/have an email linked to email this user, or is my email lost to the void? Misery 07:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that Miz, I have been focused on my main email account due to me getting accepted for LTK, and neglected to look at my wiki mail. I have read and responded now. :) Regards -- Salome 09:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Cool beans, just wasn't sure if you got it. I'll likely respond when I get the chance. Misery 09:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

No worries. -- Salome 09:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I've sent you an important email. I hope you read it soon. Batchie 08:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

You deserve this!

This user owned Sonic in an epic chess game.

LOL, thank you kindly, although I wouldn't say owned, it was a really enjoyable match! Thank you for a great game! -- Salome 21:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

We are so good at wall of texting each other. Misery 19:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, that is still being discussed at GWWT:GF#Time Zones and GWWT:GF#Final Tables Format. --DryHumour 19:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Late ban is late. Also, passive aggression is just as much of a violation of NPA as active aggression. So, Wyn is at equal fault. Not saying that I wouldn't have done the same thing, just saying....poor timing....and poor reasoning. Karate Jesus 21:44, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

KJ no offence mate but your back seat sysoping is becoming tiresome, you've been doing it for awhile now and each time it's been barely hidden shit-stirring. Wuhy broke NPA, Wyn did not. Calling someone's idea stupid is not a breach of NPA, calling someone an asshole is. If you can point me to Wyn's clear breach of NPA, I would be grateful, if not I would suggest you go read policy again and see what is defined as a personal attack. I would also suggest you take into account that over the past 3 months this is the third time Wuhy has been blocked due to personal attacks. persistant troll is persistant. Also as a closing point, a 24 hour time lapse is not a get out of jail free card. Hope this helps. -- Salome 21:53, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Woah...is everyone stressed out or something today? The passive aggressive bullshit is getting old. Next time a simple, "KJ shut up" would suffice. Karate Jesus 22:25, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

It won't matter, because you can't take a hint to shut up. This drama is getting really boring and predictable. Really, it's like a broken recorder when I troll RC:"oh noes you were aggressive in a passive way" in pretty much every post you have made. I dislike Wyn and Salome in general for various reasons not different from yours, but I respect the way they ban the annoying and disruptive people from the wiki(which is doing their jobs, btw). Just read the claptrap in Wuhy's contribs, and tell me he doesn't deserve a permaban right from the start. Pika Fan 22:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, things get pretty old when you're the only one even mentioning it. -Cursed Angel 23:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Seems like some people had colonoscopies today....or should have one. Karate Jesus 23:16, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

No, you just need to shut up(is this direct enough?). Pika Fan 23:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad I never represent myself as who I actually am on places like this, if I took these things seriously you'd all make my brain explode. Though, "I like this place. It's exciting." And, Wyn is being passive aggressive, but what can ya do? /goes back to his cleaning. ~~000.00.00.00~~ 23:28, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Since i didn't bothered catching up with the background of the discussion, all this Pasive/Agressive talk is making me think of something else. Too much anime i guess XD.--Fighterdoken 23:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

lol, way to "retaliate" like an angry 12 year old. -Cursed Angel 23:36, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I did it like I did, to better viewing as well as not being too long and messed up like so many are. They're harder to see as is. 72.148.31.114 18:10, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

As already said on the formatting page I was going to wait til a consensus was reached either way. This wasn't aimed at you Ariyen, it was just trying to find consensus on a preferred style. -- Salome 23:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Because that section is already long enough

Have a Wii? Point and click (actually click and point, but, meh) swimming is possible (and kind of addictive) in the scuba diving game: Endless Ocean. -- FreedomBound 17:11, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

not tried it but how does it determine depth as a 3 dimensional point? As in how does it now if i want to swim just a lil up and to the side or if i want to swim up and to the side and all the way into the picture? -- Salome 17:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Kind of hard to describe, but you click and swim forward. That can be up, to the side, down, etc. You're kind of swimming along your viewpoint. -- FreedomBound 17:18, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Okie dokie, I'll probably give it a shot as in a 3 dimensional space not sure how it can work out how far into the picture i wish to swim without some other form of input indicating depth as point and click only really functions on the X, Y planes, thus with the addition of a Z plane things tend to get confusing for point and click. -- Salome 17:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

There are plenty of similar applications that have been programmed. Drag and drop of vertices in 3d modelling programs for example. It's not perfect, but you fiddle a bit and it works. Misery 17:27, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

writing skills

Could you maybe break future responses into paragraphs and be a little less verbose? I often find it hard to read your comments. Thanks :P -- pling 17:28, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

sorry, been writing alot of articles recently and seem to be stuck in that writing style, which is making me even more verbose than normal. I'm finding myself saying things 3 times, when once would do. I'll try and cut it down abit. -- Salome 22:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't be a spazz

I meant the hoo-hah, I wasn't calling anyone a spazz. You know I love you Salome. Misery 18:18, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

YAY!!!! (stops crying into pillow) -- Salome 18:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Color Help

Thanks for the layout template; I'm much indebted to you, Thor, and Lensor. If you've time, I need help matching the color of the tabs to the color of the page. As you can see on my user page, I can't quite get the colors to match (at least on pages that aren't the first one). How do I fix this?

Never mind; I just figured it out on my own. Sorry for pollutin' your talk page. Once again, kudos on your design. --Threid 22:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Name Pronunciation

Is it pronounced Sal-o-me, Sal-ome or Sal-o-meh? Something else? The wiki world awaits your response. --Threid 22:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

LOL, the name itself has a few different ways of being said, mainly due to it not having a clear Aramaic root and it now existing in about 8 different languages. I personally have always pronounced it "Sahl-oh-may" and when I think of my ranger that's how I say her name in my head. Hope this helps. :) EDIT: Also your user page is coming along nicely!-- Salome 00:24, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

That's how I wanted to pronounce it in my head. Interesting name choice, and congratulations on having a Wikipedia page devoted to your name! My user page is a near carbon-copy of yours; thanks for sharing, and for noticing. Cheers. --Threid 02:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Banners

Hi, just dropping you a note. Have a nice day. A F K When Needed 13:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

??? Errr...thanks i suppose. (WTB a clue) -- Salome 21:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

He is informing you that NuckleaVII has a banner that resembles a system image banner on his user page. Misery 21:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

And that matters why? Many people have that kind of banner asking for new messages and directing to their talk page, as long as it doesn't rick role people or in any other way troll the hell out of people, I'm not personally sure how it's a problem. The text also makes it pretty clear that it is not a system message. (just reread that and it sounded kinda aggressive, didn't mean it to come out like that, just curious as to what AFK thinks the issue is) -- Salome 21:54, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Not a NPA vio

I like anal sex a good deal. -- Salome 00:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC) (proceeding comment was made by Karate Jesus, not Salome.)
See? Now that I know where the line is, I can narrowly avoid bans. Owait, do I have to have a friend that's an admin to do it? Karate Jesus 18:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Impersonation: Quick and easy way to get banned. Salome may have missed that bit, but it still doesn't give you the right to reciprocate. --NuVII 18:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Same thing happened to me with no ban, so obviously it's not a vio. Karate Jesus 19:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

lol KJ, find something else to do, you ain't no good at this trolling business -- pling 19:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I know...but I do my best :/ Karate Jesus 19:05, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

"Salome may have missed that bit...doesn't give you the right to reciprocate". Gee, I'm sorry for ignoring the issue and making uninformed comments. NuVII 19:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Can I be fucked writing a long winded polite explanation of the differences in both issues? *ponders* Not really, as bored of explaining things to people who have no grasp of nuance, so in closing KJ you said you don't like passive aggressive comments and prefer blunt statements, so do me a favour STFU & GTFO. (also a friend who's an admin?! ROFL Cursed and I are not friends by a long shot) -- Salome 21:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Are user page edits minor edits?

Asking you because this page said I could ^_^. Is there an unofficial policy on marking edits to user pages as "minor?" I feel like I should, as such edits are secondary in importance to GW content edits, and may be readily excluded from the "Recent changes" section by those seeking to keep up on more important (less unimportant?) edits to the wiki. The minor edit page seems to imply that if an edit is not likely to be disputed, it may be marked as minor. So, is marking edits to user pages as "minor " a matter of preference?
P.S. This is a matter of truly minor importance, but thanks for your help anyway. --Threid 08:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

There's no real set rule on what must be marked minor or not marked as minor. The main thing to take into consideration when editing user talk pages is that there is a Mediawiki option that a user can set to only email them for non-minor edits to their talk page, and not email them for minor ones. So if you want to respect this option, then anything you don't consider worth notifying the user of (fixing a typo, continuing a conversation that's actively going on, et cetera) should probably be marked as minor; anything you would want them notified about should be left as non-minor. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 09:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Yup Aiiane pretty much covered it all there. :) -- Salome 12:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Aiiane, I was going to post this on your talk page, since you're the new bureaucrat and all, but I was more familiar with Salome and Abberant and didn't want to bother someone who might be busy with official duties. In any case, thanks for the quick response! I'll continue to mark my user and talk page edits as minor. Most of the users on whose talk pages I'm posting are wiki lurkers anyway, and they notice that something's changed fairly quickly. --Threid 19:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Generally, posting on an admin's (or even a popular editor's) talk page will get responses from all sorts of people, as many of us have each other watchlisted. - Tanetris 21:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Especially when you post the same thing on multiple pages, all of which I have watchlisted. ;) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to get opinions from two people of different wiki approaches. Hope that's okay. --Threid 06:10, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Just to add on (a bit slow) but this is suggested in the etiquette section of the User Page policy: "When making edits to your user page or its subpages, always mark them as minor edits to allow them to be filtered from the list of recent changes". Pretty sure the etiquette section means it's optional, even though it says "always"... /shrug ~Celestia 07:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I was having an afternoon nap when you PMed me. :( We still haven't gotten to do any adventuring together, which we definitely must sometime soonish. Anyway, a happy new year to you and your SO, and here's to a great 2010 for everyone! :D --★KOKUOU★ 23:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

"better handle on the BC/sysop role divide"

I'm not going to pursue this further on the ArbComm's page thanks to Wynthyst's request, but you are actually wrong in the divide you mentioned. Lena did not ask Gordon for an ArbComm; Gordon proposed him one (which IMO was a mistake, but anyway). We have had, in this wiki, the following chain of events:

1. A sysop decided to review old perma blocks and discuss with other sysops (and no bureaucrats) if those blocks should exist or not (which IMO was a mistake, but anyway).
2. An user comes asking for a review of an old perma block.
3. Either we assume that bureaucrats are needed to review perma blocks (and thus 1 should not have happened, given how it was the sysops who discussed the issue there) or we assume that bureaucrats are not needed to review perma blocks (and thus Gordon had absolutely zero obligation of proposing an ArbComm to Lena).

Either way, Gordon is wrong. Erasculio 14:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, imo it isn't that big of a wrong. The sysops reached a set of decisions based on their consensus, and since Lena didn't like the decision, he escalated it to ArbComm. It's like a court ruling going to a higher level. --JonTheMon 14:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's a big issue either, but I think Erasculio's point is simply that Gordon shouldn't have taken the initiative in mentioning ArbComm to Lena at all. -- ab.er.rant 14:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Aberrant is right, but the specific reason why I'm mentioning it here is in reply to Salome's comment on the divide between the role of bureaucrats and sysops. Given how Lena had not asked for an ArbComm, Gordon would have been perfectly in his right to tell Lena "no", using the same discretion used in the block reviews. The current ArbComm request is the consequence of his decision. Erasculio 15:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

So you think that Lena shouldn't have been told about the process because he didn't know about it? Or do you think that it's not under the purview of the bureaucrats to review perma-bans? To me, Gordon just said, "I'm done with this, if you want help, this is the next step. Do you want to go to the next step?" I would compare it to the Ask an Account Question page here. We don't turn away people, we say, "this is what we can do, if you need more help, contact support". -- FreedomBound 15:24, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

"Or do you think that it's not under the purview of the bureaucrats to review perma-bans?" - Do you think it's under the purview of sysops to review perma-bans? If yes, Gordon could have said "no". If no, Gordon couldn't have reviewed the perma-bans in his Block review page. Erasculio 15:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Even if Gordon had specifically said, "no", (which is basically what he did), the next step still would have been to request an arb-comm. Whether or not Gordon could have or should have reviewed the blocks in the first place, is, imo, a mostly separate issue (I say mostly because Lena likely wouldn't have contacted him or used the specific language he used had Gordon not constructed the project in the first place). -- FreedomBound 15:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Rather the opposite: Gordon not only said "yes" to the appeal, he also created the ArbComm request. He cannot claim he had any obligation of doing so, as his own block review page showed how he believed the had the authority to review permabans; and not only to unlift permabans but also to no unlift them, as the blocks in that page which were not lifted were not sent to ArbComms.

See, you cannot claim Gordon had no discretion in this issue (which would also mean he had no blame in the following drama) and ignore Gordon's block review page. Either Auron's statement in the ArbComm page is right (and thus Gordon would be wrong), or Gordon could not have reviewed any block and thus that project should have been voided (as it wasn't); in either case, Salome's point about the divide between the role of sysops and bureaucrats is moot, given how Gordon himself is not following such divide. Erasculio 15:39, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

If they were occurring at the same time, I would mostly agree with you. However, Gordon's block review project was shelved, and he is proposing a policy instead. This took place (weeks?) before Lena's most recent request for a review, so I think that Gordon's simply changed his mind, or is following what he believes to be the current consensus pending a change in the official policy. You're trying to compare separate events, both in time and "space", I just don't think that's the way it's working. -- FreedomBound 15:48, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) One of the many roles of a BC is to act as almost an appellant court in instances where a user feels he is being treated unfairly by the sysops. The recent discussion of block reviews made it very clear how the sysops felt about Lena's block, therefore the next natural step (both logically and according to policy) is for Lena to request an arbcomm. If the BC's feel that the arbcomm is warranted (which I don't think it is), they can decide to pursue the issue further, however they can also decide to oppose the arbcomm. It is this choice that Gordon has given the BC's, which will bring final closure to the issue. The fact that Lena is not as familiar with out policies and administrative structure should not be used to prevent him from prevailing himself upon the forms of appeal that we have put in place, exactly for instances such as this. You're statement seems to suggest some darker underhanded motivation to Gordon's actions and their is 0 proof of this evident in Gordon's actions. It also suggests that you seem willing to prevent users (regardless of their history) from utilising all methods of appeal open to them if they do not know those methods are available to them, which I personally find far more underhanded.
Further to this your logic above is faulty on a few points, for example you say that either you feel a sysop can review perma-blocks or cant, either of which means that Gordon has acted incorrectly at some point, however it overlooks the simple fact that BY POLICY a sysop has complete discretion to review a block by them self, however CONVENTION and simple WIKI-ETIQUETTE says consensus must be reached in reviewing blocks, as it avoids future wiki-drama. Gordon tried simply abiding by policy with his block review and it caused a shit storm, now he's acting as the other sysops asked him too, which is putting a review forward for consensus to be gained via the BC's, and you seem to wish to crucify him for this.
As I said before, this is a NONE issue and is only being made into an issue by people moaning about Gordon. Gordon has given the BC's a choice, as any sysop being asked for review should have done in this instance. Those who wouldn't are preventing the BC's from fulfilling their role as intended on this wiki. Simply put guys, I don't really know why you lot care at the moment, only 3 people on this wiki are BC's and the ball is firmly in their court. -- Salome 17:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

(EC) Freedom, I would agree with you if the block review had been shelved for being considered a mistake. But it wasn't, as it was only archived when it had no block left to be discussed; the proof of that is how the blocks which were uplifted remain uplifted now. If Gordon believed now (iow, after closing his block review project) that reviewing perma blocks requires a bureaucrat, he would have asked for an ArbComm now for the blocks which he removed in his project. The fact he has not done so (and is not doing so) shows how he still believes a sysop can judge whether a perma block is valid or not; and so he could have used his judgment to tell Lena "no". In less words, what Gordon did wasn't what he had the responsibility of doing as a sysop; what he did was what he decided to do as a sysop, and thus he has to bear the responsibility of his decision when questioned. His claims that he's just doing what Lena asked, or Salome's claim that he's just doing what every sysop should have done, are false. Erasculio 17:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

"You're statement seems to suggest some darker underhanded motivation to Gordon's actions" - not really. As stated above, I think he took a decision (as he chose to help Lena) and is now trying to pretend he didn't make a choice at all (that he just did what Lena asked of him), which is not any breach of policy but wouldn't be a nice example of, in your words, "CONVENTION and simple WIKI-ETIQUETTE".

"It also suggests that you seem willing to prevent users (regardless of their history) from utilising all methods of appeal open to them if they do not know those methods are available to them" - assuming, of course, that Lena knew the results of the decision regarding Wafflez's account, that he didn't want a block review for his own account, that he didn't know about the ArbComm and that he could not be bothered to find about methods in which he could appeal himself. Again, Lena did not ask for an ArbComm, Lena did not state he wanted an ArbComm, he did not state he wouldn't be satisfied with a block review, and he talked to the person in charge of the other block reviews (who did not, in the log we have, tell Lena the conclusions of Wafflez's review). You are free to assume Lena knew just enough about the wiki to coincidently talk to the person who has expressed being against the circunstances in which the block took place and against permabans while not knowing about ArbComms or block reviews, but forgive me for not following such naive line of thinking.

"Gordon tried simply abiding by policy with his block review and it caused a shit storm" - and yet he did not give up, considering how the blocks which were removed thanks to his block reviews are still removed. Hence, he still agrees with his block reviews; and if the option of block reviews is valid, saying "as any sysop being asked for review should have done in this instance" is false - Gordon, when asked about for review, believed and apparently still believes in block reviews instead of in ArbComms. Erasculio 17:50, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Again thats wrong Eras, the general consensus of the admin team on the blocks that were lifted (and are still lifted today) were that they should have been lifted, thus no need for further appeal on behalf of the user involved. The general consensus on Lena was that the block should stay, Lena feels that the sysops are being unfair in regards to him and thus the correct course of action now is to appeal to the BC's for arbcomm, as clearly stated in our policies. How can you not grasp that? I'm not saying every other sysop would have asked for the arbcomm on Lena's behalf, I am however saying any sysop, doing their job correctly would have done so. Which is probably why Lena asked Gordon, as he was the most likely to take an impartial look at the issue and raise it through the proper channels. -- Salome 18:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Further to that I am not being naive, it is quite clear why Lena choose to talk to Gordon. Even if Lena himself only wanted a block review from Gordon alone,(in the hopes that Gordon would be more willing to lift the block than any of the rest of us), Gordon knows the general consensus of the admin team is against the block being lifted, therefore Gordon's response's are limited to either wiping his hands of it and preventing Lena from even having the chance of having his appeal heard by arbcomm or following established policy and raising the issue to Arbcomm due to Lena's continued statements over the past months that he is being victimised by the sysop team. The BC's are there partly as an appellant body for instances where a user feels unjustly victimized by the sysops and wanting a review of their block, despite the validity of that claim. Which is why the BC's have the right to decline the review. -- Salome 18:10, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Agreed with Salome. The ArbComm request is completely appropriate. I expect ArbComm to decline the request, which is also appropriate. Nothing Gordon did involved his sysop powers -- notably, he did not revert the block himself. Are we seriously complaining about somebody asking for something they're entitled by policy and tradition to ask for? —Tanaric 18:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but...

...if my RfA isn't approved, I don't think I would be a good sysop. I'm not too much worried about whether people accept my argumentative personality or not; that kind of thing changes over time, be it for better or for worse. I'm worried about whether the community accepts the posture I have described in my candidate statement; I have stated multiple times how that is the kind of behavior I believe the sysops should have, and those discussions have always frizzled, I don't know if thanks to apathy or disagreement. With my RfA I'm forcing the community to give me an answer (through voting, right, which isn't perfect but appears to be as good as it gets): if I'm opposed, people could be opposing what I said about the roles of sysops, or just opposing me; if I'm accepted, people would be accepting both me and what I said about the roles of sysops. So unless I'm accepted (which is currently very unlikely), I would take it the community disagrees with me about how the sysops should act; and I couldn't be a sysop if I wouldn't be able to follow consensus on the role sysops should have. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing (there are plenty very good reasons to oppose both my point of view and me, I'm the first to admit it), so don't think I'm trying to complain about your vote change or trying to change your mind; I just wish the current sysops would follow more the role I have described (and that we got the Move image command on GW2W).

image question

I know you haven't started on them, but I forgot to reply. Anyways: do we still need dye charts or will you do that too? I have a couple I can probably do still. I'd like to help when you get a system made for the new images if that is possible. I haven't worked much with textmod or alpha channels recently, but how hard can it be? Oh and about the irregular image sizes, that was more about the individual pages for armor of a certain gender, not like for masks galleries or such. It makes sense there. That's why I didn't replace the other images in those. Previously Unsigned 10:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC) 07:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey mate. Sorry about not being about. Okay anything you don't dye chart I can. I can also dye chart anything as I have access to all the armours for every proff and about a thousand dyes of each colour. Thus do not put yourself out of pocket if you don't want the armour as I can get any done, which you don't. -- Salome 01:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I technically have enough money it's just those damn headpieces where you can't change the attribute and the storage space that kills me. I don't spend much otherwise. For white and black I just photoshop the individual parts together, should do that for Red and Silver as well really. Was wondering if you'd get images from the dat file or whatever you do too. And how did you... honestly you have them all!? For like each profession and gender!? Hax... HAX!!!!!!!!! The way I've been doing them now is just in alphabetical order, no text... I don't know if there is a real guideline (I did read the project tutorial), but I saw some with text and it was so distracting to me and took up extra space so I left them out. It's still easy to see what is what with only 10 dyes and in alphabetical. Previously Unsigned 02:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I dont bother with each gender. You can go to the gender change person and preview the gender change and thus it shows you the armour on the opposite gender. That's what I've been doing. -- Salome 11:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Can you send me some armor pictures then? Like just the screenshot in all dyes? I'll crop and make the final image giving you credit if you don't mind taking some pictures of armor dyed but don't feel like doing the whole process. Can't use Llye for female armor myself since I use the dye preview window since I don't use white/black dye. I wish I could have like guest access to your account how you can have guest access to a guild lol. It'd do all the pics there. It's funny that I'm even interested in this at all since before this I was working with undyed sunspear armor and haven't given a thought to any armor or weapons besides what is functional and cheap.

@Mini; Nope, been with my partner for a fair few years now though. However I'm only 28 and finally getting into my career stuff properly, so I've put considerations of marriage on the backburner at the mo. When my life calm's down, I'll considerate it then but although I agree with the concept of gay marriage and the legal grounds and reasoning for it, I'm still not sure I personally want to ever get married.

@ Yasmin; Thanks alot, although I owe alot to my Grandparents. They always had friends from every possible walk of life and background, thus I was brought up to believe that people should always stand up for who they are. In fact my God Father and his Husband are my godparents. It did however come as somewhat of a surprise to my family, training to be a catholic priest for awhile probably threw them slightly (although for the life of me, I don't know why, as it's almost a requirement of the job. [that was a joke told to me by a Catholic Cardinal, for anyone who may be offended by that comment]). I'm quite happily adjusted about it though, as are my family and the great majority of my friends. I think what helps me alot, is that I don't let me sexuality define me. Also 99% of my friends are straight, thus I don't end up ghetto'ising myself into a wee gay group, which is a bad trait I've seen in alot of my gay mates who only tend to have gay friends. I think that when a person does that, it puts them in a somewhat odd social environment, which is not reflective of society at large, and can be rather damaging, not to mention bigoted. (One of my oldest [now ex]friends did this to such a degree that she became Hetrophobic, which is just crazy). -- Salome 22:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

People are people, as far as I see it, and the only type of person you shouldn't date or marry is someone who hurts you or abuses you. My eldest sister happens to be attracted to African American men, my younger sister happens to like Asian American men...it bothers me that when they bring boyfriends or potential boyfriends around, the color of their skin is the first thing our mother comments on (worse still, my eldest sister and brother are half Filipino, they're adopted, but my mother forgets that and sees them as white). I fail to see why small factors like color--or in your case gender--make a difference. Why does someone else have to like what I like?

(Edit conflict) @Yasmin: That's fine and well as far as rhetoric goes, but prejudice is deeply ingrained into everyone's mindsets.

At least you admit to yourself Felix that you feel that way. I have such an oddball life and know too many interesting people to really have a comfort zone...especially in my line of work. I guess if I look deep down, I suppose I do have a prejudice its against people with no personal style (Winnie the Pooh shirts on people over the age of 12, spandex pants, anything worn by Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears because both of them are terrible dressers) or people who insist on wearing pajamas outside the house.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:10, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's wrong to dislike sloppiness of dress. I'd take a potential employee less seriously if they wore pajamas to the interview, even if they did end up being brilliant. I also reflexively assume anyone over 12 with <child's thing> is probably a pothead or something, since they like that sort of fashion...if I remember the "Marijuana Facts" presentation correctloy.

Hehe it's good to know there's a fellow gay around here :P (God I'm soooooo late for this discussion) --MageMontu 13:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

There's actually a fair few of us on the wiki and ingame. :) -- Salome 14:10, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I added the sic tag since it has always been "Elonian" not "Elonan" - as such, Elonan is incorrect and thus would be needed, technically, as we are to document accuracy, not what we feel like putting up. -- Konig/talk 01:17, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Isn't the sic tag just for stuff that's in-game, not on the website? I mean, there's got to be some other things hat were copied from the website to the wiki that don't have the sic tag that would be in the same category... -- Lacky 02:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

There are sic tags for articles copied verbatim off of articles and the manual. Why not the site itself? -- Konig/talk 02:39, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I removed sic as it was referencing a made up proper noun, i put in the edit summary that i understood the use of Sic, as it's normally elonian and not elonan. However in this instance we are documenting a war chronicle verbatim, thus lore wise, in this instance that's how Murro, the author of the articles, wrote it and as such I personally don't see the need for the Sic reference in this instance. Feel free to disagree with me though, as it's mostly personal taste, I ust felt it looked abit ugly in the heading. -- Salome 13:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I can understand that it didn't look all that nice in the heading, but we have the sic tag for other misspelled "imaginary" proper nouns elsewhere, even in titles if I remember correctly, so I don't see why that should be an exception. -- Konig/talk 19:12, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

How about I just contact Emily and see if she can change the text on that article to Elonian? -- Salome 19:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

That sounds good to me. :D – Emmett 05:05, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

"In short STFU oni." and dont pa poeple 127.0.0.1 21:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Read the policy? It might be a bit rude, but it's not a personal attack. — Why 23:06, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

As Why said, it's not a personal attack. It's a suggested course of action and a tad rude indeed but to be blunt Oni was circumventing a perma ban to moan at shard about something that wasn't even vaguely related to GW or the wiki. Being told to shut up was in fact absolutely fair. Please 127 if you are going to wiki-lawyer, read the policies beforehand. Thanks. -- Salome 18:08, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

if you read it youll find no example of this please read your poliocy yourself 127.0.0.1 18:35, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Haven't we discussed about the mission "STFU" just recently. It just isn't a personal attack :P - J.P.Talk 18:48, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

notinh isnt just an attack and everything is just an attack we can only asume and salomes arrogance twards this oni doesnt show he was 'only' rude 127.0.0.1 18:52, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

shut up, thanks. -Auron 18:55, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
