Save the roosters!

Thanks xD poke | talk 23:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Now that was funny... Considering My alias and well I am a guy... I thought it was very funny...Chik En 01:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I just couldn't resist fixing it, was so funny. :P - anja 09:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

EotN Logo

Is their any way that you could you upload the EotN logo without the drop shadow on the text, just for the sake of consistency? Thanks! :) --HallwayGiant 20:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I found no way to remove the drop shadow on the "Eye of the North" text, there was no special layer for that as I could see :( I'll look again - anja 20:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now I think it may be fixed, let's see what it looks like when the image cache decides to work with me. - anja 20:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again, looks great! --HallwayGiant 20:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing it out, I would never have noticed :) - anja 20:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Why are there so many different EotN logos? o.O poke | talk 20:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Many different? Due to image caching probably? I've uploaded two new versions today, I think it's hating me now. :P - anja 20:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I mean this, this and this.. There are really different (ok the last two just differ in their shadow) poke | talk 20:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

It's the same image just modified in layers (removing atmosphere and drop shadow) to be more similar to the other logos we have. The ones you linked are just old versions of the one we are using now, right? - anja 20:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but the first two differ a lot imo.. poke | talk 20:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, maybe it's because I took the "two last" from the fansite kit instead of where that first one was taken. I don't know the source of that one, so it might be a bit different. - anja 20:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

The last one is definitely the sexiest imo :) LordBiro 20:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Is the logo already in the fansite kit? o.O I don't see it. poke | talk 20:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Check the news on the site poke, it was on the first page yesterday :) - anja 08:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

About your Userpage

I was wondering if I could copy parts of it, Pretty pweez? File:Vengeance-Sig.jpg Vengeance (talk · contribs) 00:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

As long as credit is given, you can copy as much as you want ;) - anja 08:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

And the credit is all nice and neat. ^^ =P File:Vengeance-Sig.jpg Vengeance 21:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, gotta be more careful when creating a new page next time ^^'

Ah, I see I did the userbox to the wrong place as well. Could you check if the info-page is in the right place too? If not, then I'd need a little hint about creating a new page :D IH 16:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

User Image Name/Size Question

Hi, although coming off as being very observant, and trying to help out on a specific user's image upload, I failed to notice that the image is actually 142k, after making her upload it 3 times for having the wrong name. Now I'm kicking myself. Is it possible to keep this specific image intact or should I advise on a lower quality/smaller sized image? I will candidate for deletion the 2 previous versions in the meantime. I feel bad now :/ Laura Brinklow 06:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Doh! I've done the same thing alot of times. I read the talk page and you solved it in a great way, imo! - anja 09:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

(oops, conflict) It's fine. The image size limit is for the main user page. (I'm assuming you're referring to this, which she has already reduced in size). -- ab.er.rant 09:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

If you read the talk page Laura linked, Aberrant, you'll see that they solved it :) And no, the image size limit currently appears to not only apply to the main user page. (100kb on one image). At least that's not the wording on the current policy. - anja 09:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I did read her talk page, which is how I found the image link. Anyway, yea, you're right about the image size. I think I got jumbled up with the drafts I wrote for the user page and signature policies :P -- ab.er.rant 10:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Probably, alot of number to keep track of ;) - anja 11:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh man! User profile page is giving me a headache, and I barely learned how to sign myself up with four "~" :)))) Seriously, I need to re-upload all images I named wrongly? See, I put my username, but didnt put "User" before it! Doh ;) Anja I read you don't have time, quite often. How bout you lend me a hand here ? :ppp And How on earth do I message people (private messaging)? The way you msged me. Servant of Kali 20:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

You can't privately message people unless you use the email feature of the wiki. Whenever you edit the talk pages of other users, that user will get that "you've got a new message" notice at the top. -- ab.er.rant 02:19, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for re-uploading the images that I had named wrong. I thought I did it right, but I guess I was wrong. *Is a wiki-nub*

Calvin 23:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Np at all! It's not too easy to understand all the policies from the start. I hope you have a great time on the wiki :) - anja 08:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I need help again!

Anja, I need a little help again. I changed the armor of my Mesmer, and went to upload a new image to replace the existing image. But what happened was it just copied the old image over itself, and did not actually replace the image. I checked the file locally, since I had overwritten the locally saved copy, and the one I have locally shows the new armor set. But apparently I cannot delete the existing one. Can you give me a hand? Nbajammer 01:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, apparently it fixed itself after a few minutes. Then the correct image appeared after yet another attempt to replace. Darn how this wiki gives me fits sometimes! Nbajammer 01:23, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

It's our image cache that's messing with you. It can take up to an hour for it to correctly replace an image you have uploaded a new version of. Glad it solved :) - anja 08:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage

Love your userpage. Could I copy the character links on it? ―ғoятє 14:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely! Go ahead :) (I appreciate small credit notes, but it's not a must, of course) - anja 18:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit wars

We really need a nice userbox for this xD Got another one with you here.. poke | talk 21:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Haha! xD Was just about to remind you I'm watching you and I still want an explanation to the enhanched patrol tools! - anja 21:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The "enhanced patrol mode" was just a test. It adds a quicklink to the recent changes (like "diff" and "hist") but it's not that good I imagined ;) So I disabled it :P poke | talk 21:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, ok. That was an awful lot of code for that small thing >< (Not an IRC person? Miss you there with the other lots) - anja 21:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, too much code for nothing... Oh, IRC, I wasn't active on IRC for 3 years ^^ But I will try to get online tomorrow :) poke | talk 21:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Recent Vandal/Other Stuff

Hehe :) I didn't know you were online. Pretty fast too :P You were quite leanient with that user. I would have... well Recycle Bin comes to mind :) I'd like to say thanks again for your comments. I used your Current Date/Time thingy, by the way, and modified to my preferences last week. Your page looks pretty decent too. Have fun with the vandal :) Laura Brinklow 09:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I try to warn fist, ban after that. (The user is banned now for a day, since he/she continued).

How to NOT get sued

don't worry about deleting the nintendo logo. However, I came across Auron's page which has a tag on his uploaded mudkip image and am wondering if the personal use tag is like ward against lawsuits or something. Like I just thought up a bunch of funny boxes but let me know if I just need to stop being a newb and read more documentation. thanks in advance Jmz 10:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a copyright expert, so I can't really answer for this case. Except that the {{user image}} is not something you can use to bypass copyright issues. I would suggest you go and ask User:Dirigible or User:Tanaric for more information. :) - anja 10:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that Pokemon image will end up being deleted. The wiki only accepts GFDL and ANet-copyrighted content at this point. --Dirigible 10:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Image caching

Yesterday I uploaded some new gray component shots to Gallery_of_female_elementalist_Canthan_armor to replace the older dyed ones. The resized previews show up fine in the gallery page, but on the image pages themselves they still show the old version even if I click on my revision. Is there something that can be done or should I try to re-upload --Valshia 18:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

It's probably a problem on your end, try clearing your cache and reloading. --Santax (talk · contribs) 18:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Try CTRL + F5 to clear your local cache ;) poke | talk 18:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

That fixes it.  :) --Valshia 19:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Both wiki cache and local cache can mess up image uploads, so mostly you just have to wait an hour or so and do a hard refresh (CTRL + F5) for it to fix :) There's very few occasions where you would need to upload your image again. - anja 06:57, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Removing Comments

I only removed them because he spammed them purposely. --- Raptors

Then remove parts, not all of it. It's in the user policy that you are not allowed to remove comments unless archiving - anja 19:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha --- Raptors

Now what was that good for... (-_-) - helena 20:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Getting a point across. --- Raptors

Yes, and we got it, you don't have to spam "gotcha"... - helena 05:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe I asked for your opinion on the discussion now did I? --- Raptors

You can't expect people not to answer when you are writing on a public talk page. I think you'll have to accept that :) - anja 16:14, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't like her tone. --- Raptors

And we don't like yours, from time to time. That's life. - anja 16:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Equally as funny coming from you Aberrant --- Raptors

Question

hey, you helped me out before i was hoping maby you can do it again, so i made alittle friends list with the userbox things, now i was wondering if there is anyway to shorten the width of the boxes, thank you ~~Dieing

Yes, but not directly. Template:Userbox is of a fixed width. To shorten it, you'll have use the code of that template directly. If you look at the code for that template, copy the part before the <noinclude> tag. Replace all the {{{some param name|default value}}} parts with your own values or the default value. -- ab.er.rant 03:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Err... I just noticed that you and your guildies are all using the same gifs but named differently. You guys could all just share one copy you know, rather than uploading duplicates. And I renamed your guild banner for you because the old name's name is inappropriate. -- ab.er.rant 04:02, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I think they use duplicates since they have been told to name their userimages correctly :)
As Aberrant says, it's not super easy to make the boxes shorter, the method he mentioned is the best one. - anja 07:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Opinion on bureaucrat candidates

I don't know how much it will count, but as one of those who voted for both Tanaric and Xeeron, you may want to give your specific preference at Guild Wars Wiki talk:Elections/2007-08 bureaucrat election#Deciding of winner. I would like to see if we can reach a consensus by August 26 23:59 UTC. If not, your preference might (or might not) also be a factor in ArenaNet's final decision. Thanks. --Rezyk 20:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Weaponsmith

Not sure wether it it ok to do this, but do we change the text like on Keti, into the icons like armor pages?--Gummy Joe 16:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Nah, I think we shouldn't do that, since there haven't been any discussion on doing so. If you think it should be done, add a suggestion for it somewhere :) (GWW:NPCS talk maybe) - anja 16:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

alright then, thanks :p --Gummy Joe 16:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Exits in Ice Cliff Chasms

I'm re-adding the "Exits" section in Ice Cliff Chasms. I feel it is necessary despite the links on the infobox because you can use it to mention direction and any potential access conditions. I've also made a section on this in Guild Wars Wiki talk:Formatting/Locations. Plus, someone added a map with legend on it, and the "Exits" section would make perfect sense. -- ab.er.rant 02:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... actually, I'll wait for the discussion before doing anything then. -- ab.er.rant 02:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

As long as it provides more and useful info, I'm ok with it. :) - anja 08:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Landmarks

Anja, I asked about moving up landmarks on the talk page and no one objected. If you disagree, I'd prefer if you argued your point there, rather than just reverting. Backsword 10:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry >< I looked through the talk page but coudn't find anything on the topic. I'll have a new look. - anja 11:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, it was in the archives. If you want it to be at the top, please move that section to the front page again, so we can discuss. I moved it down since that was what I read out from suggestions posted on the main talk page, and no one opposed there. - anja 11:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Deletion

lol @ photo nono pwnage. I don't think they uploaded enough of those. ‽-(eronth) I give up 23:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

>.< No...More...Nono! ;) - anja 23:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Were they all the same thing or was each one something different? ‽-(eronth) I give up 23:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

All different, they were uploaded for a guild gallery. Reuploaded with policy fitting names now, so I hope they get the pattern ^^ - anja 23:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

?

Have you seen the last edits to Warrior armor. I don't know how to fix it without knowing names, etc.. - BeX 17:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I've seen it but I have no idea either how to fix it until we know the real names. We need screenshotting friends asap :P IronHeart already provided me with Dervish screenie for the Dwarven armor, there's no naming convestion whatsoever...
Maybe we should keep those "Dwarven" pages as dismabig pages and have the link out to the articles for all the pieces? As such, we could keep them until we know the real names.. I don't know :/ - anja 17:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Umbral Grotto

Hey Anja, if we remove the description-part from this page, would the copyvio be circumvented? --  (CoRrRan / talk) 22:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Once the copyvio is slapped, it's best to rewrite the page using the red link and then move the new article back on top of the original one to overwrite it entirely, rather than editing the existing one. -- ab.er.rant 01:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

No, the description part isn't enough, the formatting is also copied directly from GuildWiki, and from what I have read that is also a copyright violation. It would be better to simply rewrite it following our formatting guidelines. - anja 08:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

You can copy the data though, but you'd have to do a barebones article with our formatting. - BeX 08:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

GW:EN Skill names

Since you renamed Aura of Stability to Steadfast Soul (thank you!) thought I'd mention others. Hmmm, seems like you've already got most of 'em

 Maiming Spear -> Nonsensical Spear
 Ward of Weakness -> Ward of Weariness

Cipher/Facet Quests

Hi Anja, I uploaded some images with big red "?" for the location of the Facets in the Cipher of X quests that you marked for deletion. I am not sure if they are helpful, as they give no location. Maybe there should not be an image at all, agreed. The older images displayed there were however even more misleading: The Facets spawn at multiple random locations, the paths given on the pics were only useful for the user that made the screenshot. See the talk pages. Right now we do not know how many random locations are there for the Facets, I can only guess it is like Prophecies Boss spawns. --Longasc 11:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Then the text should say that the location is random, but seem to have a set number of spawn points available, and no image would be preferable. An image with just a red "?" symbolises that we have no idea, imo. :P - anja 12:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!

Hello Anja! Thank you for your help with my user page! I hope you are able to use the graphics I submitted.

Question

I know this is going to sound a bit strange, but I'd like to delete my account here on the wiki. Is that something that a sysop would have to do for me, or is that something that I can do myself? If it's the latter, how would I go about doing that? --SZK 02:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, it is not possible to delete an account. This is because your username is stored in the history logs of all the articles you have edited. For what reason would you like to delete your account? I'm asking because we might find another solution then deleting. - anja 07:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I've realized that I'm not suited to this particular wiki environment, and I didn't want to take up space - however little - with my userpages. But since deletion isn't possible, I'll just put a little notice or something on my user page. Thanks for the info. :) --SZK 14:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Your user page can be deleted, just copy this code on to it {{delete|U1 - user requested|speedy}} if you wish, however your account can not be deleted to the best of my knowledge. --Lemming 14:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

user page compatibility

tested for IE, doesn't work. ie gets the right-align for your contact information column, breaks and then adds the left-align "what i do on wiki" column below. another reason to hate ie. - Y0_ich_halt 20:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I wont make it work in IE, because it's impossible xD Nah, seriously, I'm not sure how I could fix that. - anja 20:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

wouldn't be hard to fix, though :3 ie breaks after a division, mozilla doesn't, if it's right-aligned. so all you gotta do is use a table at 100% width and align those two with it instead of using floats xD tbh, i'm not even sure whether that would be a solution, but maybe >.> - Y0_ich_halt 20:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I moved away from tables, since someone influenced me to and told me tables were out, and divs are in. I should try to work out a fix later, when I have the energy. Thanks for pointing it out :) - anja 20:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

mhm. i don't really care what's in XD tables are easier to handle for something like that and more browsers align them as they're supposed to. sure, i can understand his view if you look at stupid html code tables, but wikicode is less complicated than html. that's why i stick to those. at least for wikis. ^^ and now ima go to bed. i caught a cold today. -,- - Y0_ich_halt 20:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem is already fixed btw :D poke | talk 21:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Poke the savior. ;) - anja 21:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

(Reset indent) "I moved away from tables, since someone influenced me to and told me tables were out, and divs are in." I also was tricked into this, but the compatability issues made me switch back to tables. :P - BeX 03:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

You think for yourself, that's good ;) I might move back to tables in the next redesign. Less flexible, but then less things goes wrong in other browsers :P - anja 07:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

"but the compatability issues made me switch back" - There are no real compatibility issues. It's just that you have to look up how you do things to make it look correct in all browsers.. poke | talk 11:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

ie will always break after one div, no matter where it's aligned afaik. that makes it incompatible to a page layout like hers or mine. if done with divs. :) - Y0_ich_halt 12:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

A div is a block element - it has to break. poke | talk 12:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

seems mozilla doesn't think that way. anja's page wouldn't work if it did ^^ i just noticed it wasn't even the fact that those are divs. this means: a)seems it doesn't have to break at all. b)why does a small margin cause ie to break and mozilla not? - Y0_ich_halt 13:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

A div only has to break until you float it. It will float to the edge of its surrounding element, which can also be floated. The only way to get it to break again after a float is to a) run out of space in the window or b) clear the float. Or set it to display:inline but then it's really just a span in div clothing. I'm guessing the problem is with the IE rendition of the box model, but can't be sure as it seems fine in my IE7. - Thulsey - talk 01:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The Flaming Swords wiki page

hi i've just got ur message and i'm a little confused i'm new to the whole wiki thing and not sure what i've done wrong with my pictures and why they will be removed i followed the link you placed in ur message but i don't understand it please can you help me and tell me what i need to change and were i went wrong with my first lot of pictures

Thanks Peter

Hi Peter! For images you want to provide to your guild page, you have to follow our naming scheme as stated in our image use policy. So for your guild, all images has to begin with Image:Guild The Flaming Swords. So for example the image Image:Members pic.jpg has to be uploaded to Image:Guild The Flaming Swords Members pic.jpg (or similar). poke | talk 15:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

What Poke said ;) Does that make it more clear? - anja 15:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hall of Monument

If "not every prestige armor" than why did you revert my previous correction in the first place? Help the reader understand confusing categories or if you do not want to at least let others do it. In case you need some advice, thats how it looks when it is done well: [[1]].--Brainless Thought 22:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't need advice, thank you, I can form an opinion anyway. :) I just thought your change into "armor" was even more confusing than saying prestige armor. - anja 23:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

When you basically reverted the "most of the pres arm" to "pres armor", which is plain wrong because it does not indicate any exception, I did not re-revert it, I decided to widen the meaning of the subject from "pres armor" to "armor", which I think invites the reader to visit either to the armor or to the res monument page, where the exceptions are listed. I see you made changes again, I am ok with the current version, maybe it could be shorter a bit. --Brainless Thought 23:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not plain wrong. "Prestige armor" and "all prestige armor" is not the same. I do think "prestige armor" is open enough for people to want to read more, and it's short. I have not made any more changes by the way, that would be Tanetris or Bexor. - anja 08:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
