See: [1] Didn't quite know what to tag it with. Looks like a user just dled the pic from gwiki and reuploaded it here. I checked the users and they don't appear to be the same. Thoughts? -elviondale (tahlk) 18:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio is the correct tag. It doesn't appear to be released under any additional terms than the default GuildWiki license, and thus isn't suitable for inclusion here, so it appears to indeed be a copyright violation. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 03:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

gwiki doesn't load for me so I couldn't compare myself. Apparently there's no more speedy tag for obvious copyright violations so there's not much else to tag it with. - BeX 03:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I thought Guildwiki was realeased under GFDL, or does that only work for users who release their own contributions under GFDL?--§ Eloc § 05:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

From the footer at the bottom of every GuildWiki page: "Content is available under the CC 2.0 by-nc-sa license." So no, Eloc, GuildWiki content is only GFDL if the contributor of that content releases it under GFDL as well. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 05:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh ok, thought so. Didn't it used to be all GFDL, or am I just not thinking right?--§ Eloc § 05:12, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Nope, you can't really change from a "more free" license to a more restrictive one without getting every editor's permission on every contribution. I'm sure they have information there about their licenses though. GWiki hasn't loaded in weeks for me. - BeX 05:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

GuildWiki has always used the CC-BY-SA license. (You'll even find references to it in the FAQ on this wiki about why ArenaNet didn't simply fork or acquire GuildWiki.) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 08:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Isaiah Cartwright/Update20071108

Some of these things are getting out of hand. Sure, it's ok to put in a little bit of criticsm, but now Izzy seemed to have run off and people are still creating subpages on his own userspace [2]! Is it allowed that Kurd can make a page on Izzy's userspace? — 卍 Eloc 卍 20:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Why not, its much more organized now that to put it on his main talkpage, where the page will probably get over 400kb ~ Kurd 20:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Well why have it? I don't even think he pays much attention to those pages anymore now that alot of people are complaining about the skills. — 卍 Eloc 卍 20:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Given Isaiah's comment here, I think it's ok to keep making those pages. Erasculio 20:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Ryudo

Could I have a little help here please? He keeps going on how I violated GWW:NPA but all I did was give him a welcome & try to be nice. He's also currently violating GWW:USER & quite possible the 1 revert rule (not sure if that's official yet). Apparently I'm not allowed to post there anymore too. — 卍 Eloc 卍 21:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You talk down to me, treat me like a child, and post a userbox on my talk page telling me that I fail. I think I have the right to tell you to stop posting on my talk page, and to remove the box that is clearly an open insult to me. I want you to leave me alone, why cant you seem to do that? Go bother someone else.--Ryudo 21:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

In the case that he IS allowed to openly post insulting userboxes, and to type freely on my page, I ask that a mod delete my account, so I can go back to gw.gamewikis.org, where I am not pestered, nor taunted.--Ryudo 21:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) You don't know what these stupid templates do Eloc. Read what the guy says - he's been here since release and suddenly gets something so rude as an AUTOMATED TEMPLATE "welcoming" him (one of the most unwelcome type of welcomes one could recieve IMO). So don't you dare get pissy with him, you should have abandoned that page from the starting comments. The best course of action would be an apology on your half. — Skuld 21:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Warning! DO NOT FEED TROLLS, The thing Trolls fear the most is lack of ATTENTION. Make em starve!

Walk away from the discussion, you don't need to win ~ Kurd 21:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Sigh. All I want is to remove the stupid userbox and for him to leave me alone. I make good edits (though few), I know what I'm doing, what does it take?--Ryudo 21:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) (Edit conflict) (Edit conflict) All I did was say welcome, that's all & you had to go on and bitch about how you've been here for months. I was only trying to be friendly, then you went on about how you fail, so I went to my Userpage and just took off a userbox which in a way applied to it. If you can't handle a little humor, don't say talk down to yourself.

I will leave him alone, and I do apologize for the template being so "automated", but I didn't violate shit. I will also leave his user talk page alone unless something else comes up (ie, improper image naming or something that violates GWW:SIGN, etc. I've been here since the release too & I will leave her alone from now on if that's what you so dearly wish.— 卍 Eloc 卍 21:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I am a male, ergo, I am not a "her."--Ryudo 21:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

And I'm not a "her" either. — 卍 Eloc 卍 21:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Issue resolved, stop dragging on about it or you'll make Skuld happy Kurd 21:16, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

@eloc:My mistake, my posts have been adjusted. @Any mod: Am I allowed to delete the unwanted userbox off of my talk page or no?--Ryudo 21:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You can't delete it according to GWW:SIGN, but if you want, I can show you how to archive your page so it wont show up on your page anymore (assuming you don't know how to do that). — 卍 Eloc 卍 21:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I think I'll just request how to delete my account so I can go back to being unbothered.--Ryudo 21:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, but just saying, you're not allowed to delete your account. You could however make a new account to start off from scratch or just not use that account at all & not login. — 卍 Eloc 卍 21:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I think the best thing for you to do is just archive it. Making a new account will probably just make someone do another {{Welcome}}... br12 ~ 21:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I do not like you completly discarding anything I have to say by branding me a troll, Kurd. Do not do this in future please. — Skuld 21:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

There was nothing 'trolly' about that response, anyway. br12 ~ 21:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I just want to remind you of the clause at the top of this page: "Do not post here in regard to content matters or user disputes." Just both calm down. Do not move the war here, this is not the purpose of this noticeboard. - anja 21:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Eloc, just ignore this guy and let it go. It's obvious he's not going to just let it be. --- Raptors / RAAAAAAAAAA!

Sorry Anja. It kind of started off as a request with a little bit of help with Ryudo & kind of escalated quite quickly.

Raptors, I am letting it go.

Brains, I have requested a change at {{Welcome}} so this will hopefully all be avoided in the future. — 卍 Eloc 卍 21:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

To be honest after I read that log it seems to me that Eloc you antagonised the situation. Posting the gimmicky userbox would have probably antagonised me too. He asked you to stay off his talk page and you just kept coming back for more. Please abide by users requests when it comes to their talk pages, it is only polite. And as Anja said this noticeboard is not for user disputes. --Lemming 22:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I would have stayed off no problem if he would have only asked rather than saying "Stay off my page". But w/e, it's over with. — 卍 Eloc 卍 23:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Automated welcome

Why is it people keep giving me automated welcomes? Have I not made it clear I dont want them? That I'm not new?--Ryudo 02:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

"Do not post here in regard to content matters or user disputes." — ク Eloc 貢 02:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

New rule for you, eh Eloc? -Auron 02:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

XD somewhat. — ク Eloc 貢 03:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't see anything wrong with posting the automated welcome message in the talk pages of new users, or accidentally posting it in the talk pages of established users with empty talk pages, but the fail box was definitely a personal attack. -- Gordon Ecker 03:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I could see Raptors as a personal attack, but mine was sincerely meant as a joke, nothing more. The above line he said that he had failed and I posted a userbox I found at User:Cursed Angel. It was only a joke.. — ク Eloc 貢 03:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I wouldn't have found it funny in the slightest either, and I usually take jokes quite well. Either way, you guys should stop posting about it here, as tis the wrong place. Ale_Jrb (talk) 11:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
