Category links
Thanks for the hotlinks fix, didn't think it was possible without adding me to the list of "User images" and the like. Thanks again. --People of Antioch talk 03:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Adding a : before Category or Image just links them, it doesn't actually include them into the page :) -- Brains12 \ Talk 03:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, I used it for image, didn't know it works for this too. Thanks.--People of Antioch talk 16:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
could you move a page for me?
Please move this (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Isaiah_Cartwright/Paragon/Scavenger_Strike) to (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Isaiah_Cartwright/Ranger/Scavenger_Strike) thanks. --Life Infusion «T» 19:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hiya
Hiya, Brains. i was wondering if you could help me out with making a table for my newest User project The Advice Page, as you know from the Birthday page I am no good at making tables lol. If you could help me out I would really apreciate it, and of course I would make sure to give you credit. Thanks --Shadowphoenix 18:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- It doesn't really need a table, does it? I can't really see how a table would fit in there. If you still want one, maybe you could try it for yourself to get used to wiki code? Practise makes perfect :P (if you need some help with tables, w:Help:Tables should be of some use) -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ok i can try it, I just wanted to make it look a little more organized and appealing, like the Birthday Page. Thanks anyway --Shadowphoenix 19:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I personally think it would look better like it does now. No need to make it overly complicated. ;) — Galil 19:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK I guess I will leave it like it is :o) --Shadowphoenix 19:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Shadowphoenix/Sandbox/Grim Cesta (diamond)
hiya brains, I was wondering if you could help me out. I am working on spliting the Grim Cesta page, like I did the Erie Focus page, and I am having so issues with that darn dye chart. Can you see whaere it overlaps the infobox? Could you help me fix this? Thanks (oh and btw this is on poke talkpage too but I think he is mad at me atm, so can u help lol) --Shadowphoenix 00:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think my screen reolution is a little larger than yours so I'm not seeing any overlap. Although, it looks like Anja may have fixed it? (Btw, I have lots of pages on my watchlist, so you don't need to contact me on everything :P) -- Brains12 \ Talk 01:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Demon Assassin
Why was this revert needed? Was the map not correct? --People of Antioch talk 16:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have no idea - there was no summary so I reverted it back. If it's wrong, feel free to correct it.-- Brains12 \ Talk 16:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Formatting Talk
I know you are the one who originally contacted me on this issue, would you be the deciding factor on whether it is implemented, or no? I'm just wondering because I've have negative and positive feedback in this thread, however I don't know who can give the go-ahead for me to continue to update the missions with the new format. As for the colors, which was brought up in discussion, I believe that the gold and red goes well with the Normal Mode/ Hard Mode theme, whether it matches the blue or not. Blue is just a color that someone decided one day we were going to use for mission info templates. And, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having them both there. The old way we displayed Rewards worked because it did not need to be two separate sections (NM/HM). But now it does. Don't you agree? I'd very much like to hear your input. possibly in the Formatting thread I linked above. -- RavenJWolfe 20:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Community consensus decides. It doesn't matter who started the discussion. I like your tables, but the colors clash with the blue and it hurts people's eyes. Tone down the colors or change them to the same color. It doesn't have to follow the NM/HM theme. Calor 21:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright Let me see what I can do. -- RavenJWolfe 21:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) I'll answer your first question here, seeing as it would seem a little out of place on the other page - no, I don't decide on if it is implemented. Wait a few more days (a week at the least, maybe) for more people to eventually join in. If that doesn't work, try making a request for comment. It will be decided when everyone has come to some sort of agreement whether if it'll be put in - you'll know for sure when it's put into the formatting guideline template. Don't worry though, this will most probably be implemented.
- I don't like getting into formatting discussions, so I'll agree on whatever everyone else agrees on. (Sorry for the flimsy answer there, but I don't have a huge issue with the colours used, I would just rather they matched the infobox, but I won't press the matter.) -- Brains12 \ Talk 21:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well I dont like them this light but what does everyone else think?? If not I can do them blue... but Really the NM/HM colors worked I think... -- RavenJWolfe 21:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- They are blue. Everyone's happy. woo. View Post -- RavenJWolfe 21:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk Archives
Hi, Brains. I was wondering if u can archive the talk page of an article or Project. The Birthday Page's talk page is getting large and some browsers might start having problems viewing and/or editing it. I can't seem to find anything that tells me what to do lol (oh yeah and btw, the reason I come to you with all my questions is: #1 you are a sysop, #2 you are one of the most active admins, #3 you are just plain smart lol that was in response to the "you don't have to come to me about everything"). Hope you can help me out :o) --Shadowphoenix 17:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Just archive discussions that are no longer active. Should be no problem. — Galil 18:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there a way to change the title of a article or at least the hyperlink?
I know this sounds dumb but how can you organize a hyperlink for instance changing "user:Ash-ton_talk" to something like "Ash-ton's talk?" Ash-ton / Talk 21:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Do you mean changing the "User talk:Ash-ton" link to sppear as Ash-ton's talk? If so, use
[[User talk:Ash-ton|Ash-ton's talk]]
, where the words after the | is what appears on the link. See Help:Editing for some more detailed information. -- Brains12 \ Talk 22:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirects, et al
Neh, first I forgot the slash in the page move (failure #1)(in order to make it a subpage), then I went to delete-tag the original and I guess the tag got misplaced (failure #2). The original page becomes automatically a redirect page when you move it, so that's always what I've done. You beat me to fixing my fails, many thanks, the wiki's being really slow and I like to patrol recent changes as I make my weapon & boss additions. Thanks for fixing the fails! MiraLantis 19:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem - the wiki is really being slow for me too because the job queue is currently a little high. It should go back to normal once the queue starts getting clearer. -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

- Look again. Not anymore. Shadowphoenix seemed to think the userbox was vandalism, so tagged it for deletion, making the template you're using a deletion tag, not the userbox you designed, But Brains reverted it :) Calor 20:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Show Hide Box
can you show hide box on this wiki? --Cookie™ 14:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, you can. Use
class="collapsible"
in your table code to have the hide option, andclass="expandable"
for the show option. MediaWiki talk:CollapsibleTables.js has more detail. For example,
{| style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid silver;margin-left:30px;" class="expandable" |- style="background: silver;" ! style="width: 50%;" | Hello |- | Hi |}
- will show up as
Hello |
---|
Hi |
- Hey Can you make it so my titles arent in the centre? Here The Link
- And can i add a show/hide box below my main picture plz :D --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Cookie 123 (talk).
- To align text to the left add
text-align: left;
into thestyle
element of that header cell, or simply change the header cell (!
) to a normal cell (|
) but then you have to reapply the bold format. - To add additional collapsible or expandable object simply put that object into a table and give the table the appropriate class name. poke | talk 16:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Elections
A few quick questions before the elections get here (I am going to try to ask each sysop and users, who imo deserve it, these questions):
- If you were nominated would you accept?
- If so, Do you believe that you would make a good bcrat?
- Would you be able to make wise choices when it comes to selecting administrators?
- Would you be sure to explain your actions when using your powers as a bcrat?
- Would you wear you status as a bcrat as a badge?
- Would you consider policy before taking any and all actions?
- How do feel towards our wikis community?
That should be enough. Thanks! --Shadowphoenix 21:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Shadowphoenix,
- I don't think I would accept any bureaucrat nomination unless I could retain the abilities of the sysop - I feel I'm much more suited to that role, rather than just that of a bureaucrat. (That's nothing about me wearing the sysop role as a "badge" - I think I can do better in that role rather than as a bureaucrat.)
- I guess that nullifies the rest of the questions. -- Brains12 \ Talk 21:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Rawr prize images
Hey, can you explain to me (mainly I'm looking for a quote of some sort) that clarifies how the images are violating copyright? I've scoured the page and I can't find any information. I don't have any complaints of taking them off wiki. The images are used with permission from GuildCafe in order to promote the RAWR Cup. Thanks, Ekelon 01:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's because the images are the property of Logitech and Killer and have not been released under the GFDL license. If ArenaNet received permission directly from both companies to use the images on it's website/wiki then there would be no problem but since they haven't they are considered copyright violations and cannot be used on the wiki. --Kakarot 01:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed; the GFDL (which you can find linked on Guild Wars Wiki:Copyrights) requires credit and permission from the original author in cases such as this, where the document is not under the same license. As the images had no licensing or permission information, and the original website reserved their rights under their own copyright, the images cannot be used under the GFDL - thus they cannot be used on this wiki. -- Brains12 \ Talk 14:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
(Reset indent) Wait let me get this straight; copyrighted content can be submitted on GWW, as long as there is permission. I was under the impression that we could not submit any copyrighted content that was not under the GFDL.... hmmm, Paws To Ponder :) --Shadowphoenix 16:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly. You are not allowed to upload any non-GFDL and non-ANet images. poke | talk 18:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Giving permission practically means you're dual-licensing under the GFDL and another copyright license. Calor 18:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's what I thought too. -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, ok I understand now. They need to make that more clear in the policy, not much of a problem but it is something to be considered since I read both and it is kind of hazy on the subject.... --Shadowphoenix 21:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- But only because ANet is allowed to use the image on their website, we are not automatically allowed to do so as well. The GuildWars website does not require to release all content under GFDL (and nothing there is GFDL btw..) and so they can use images under Fair Use (for example) or other GFDL-incompatible licenses. Just because ANet uses something on their pages, we are not allowed to copy it. poke | talk 21:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh no, I wasnt talking about an image on http://www.guildwars.com/ . However, I do think that things like that need to be stated in our current policy... --Shadowphoenix 21:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

It is my userspace. It's my logged out one, my IP address one. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Lacky (talk).
- Well, once you've registered an account, your userspace is your username - so, User:Lacky. The IP user you used is generally regarded as not yours once you register the account, so you're restricted to basically editing your own userspace.

Wiki Editing Question
I have a question regarding editing wikipedia. over time, I've been using this symbol "|" quite often. but I'm not entirely sure how to actually create it, and its annoying to have to back up to a page that has one I can copy/paste. is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to create that symbol? it sounds like a dumb question, but....I can't seem to find an answer to that anywhere >.< -- Wandering Traveler 03:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Marking an edit as minor or showing a preview is nothing more than a common courtesy -- if someone doesn't do it, it's likely they don't know about it and a message explaining how the two features work is the most you should do.

- (Edit conflict) Fair enough, I understand that you wanted recent changes unspammed (who doesn't?) but I think there were probably better ways to go about saying them -- he actually was using the minor edit feature as far as I know, so he was at least trying. I think Poke has some way to get one person's edit out of recent changes, so perhaps that can help :).
- I didn't particularly call you a hypocrite -- I was on your side and agreed that Ryudo wasn't helping things -- but I think when it comes to that kind of situation, ignoring is the best thing you can do. I thought both of you were, not intentionally, dragging the topic on a bit (as I may have done when I responded to comments a little while before).

Lorak has been warned twice today about the image naming policy, yet continues to not follow it. I've tagged his newest uploads, but I think some admin assistance may be needed. Thanks.--Pyron Sy 15:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's just a new user who is either confused or hasn't had any experience with wikis. Admin intervention isn't necessary, and to be honest, "warnings" aren't either. Sure, notify, but not warn. If they're tagged, an admin is likely to reupload them for him and explain why, so he should understand through an example of his own images when that's done.

I Redid the Image on Sig But as for the Text I still think its ok as my Sig is clickable and if they want to see my actual name they have to click on the link.

User Image Question
Since you were one of the people involved with the User:Kam Ra / User:Sanna pages. She appears to have finally created an account as Sanna now but is still using images uploaded under the old name, would they have to be re-uploaded under the new username? --Kakarot 13:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, they would have to be reuploaded for User Sanna if she continues to use that account. -- Brains12 \ Talk 14:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Image searching trouble
Hi, I don't know if i'm asking this at the right place but... maybe you can help me. I have been editing my Userpage and I have been trying to look for certain images and I wasn't able to find what I was looking for, is there any way to show a list or preview of the images that have already been uploaded (sorting them somehow) I tryed the search engine but it keeps me showing a very short list, and I can't even find images I know they must exist (for instance I was looking for a "hero" icon or something, and i have to search for "koss miniature" to find a useful one) Thank you very much.

page name change
hey brains, is there a way for me to change a page name? As i want to move the page Hog's_Glutony to Hog's_Gluttony but not a clue how to do it. -- Salome 00:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Click the shiny "Move" tab near edit and history and fill in the fields :P. By the way, are you sure "Glutony" isn't the in-game spelling? This (posted by Anja on Emily's talk page) shows "Glutony" as the spelling. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeh its a typo. My cousin, who works as a japanese/english translator has one, and he says in English its Gluttony, not Glutony. -- Salome 00:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok; you might want to put that on the talk page in case Kurd or someone else wants to move it back because of what's on that link. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Using an Archive
Sorry to bother you, but I followed the instructions you left me for creating an archive page for my user talk page but it doesn't accept my changes. I copied and pasted everything I wanted to archive into the archive page and saved it. I made a link from my user page to the archive page. I then deleted the sections I had archived (only the things I had archived and nothing more) and yet someone keeps undoing the changes I make to my talk page and putting all the content back again. Everything is now in both places, which looks a bit silly. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the point of an archive was to have things in one place, not two. If you could let me know I'd be most grateful. --Bunny - talk 20:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- You did everything right, don't worry. I think someone misunderstood your removal, so they undid it. I took the archived comments off your page, so it's how it should be. Next time you archive, just make sure you leave a comment in the edit Summary so it's understood that you're archiving. -- Brains12 \ Talk 21:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Striter of darkness
has been told multiple times to use minor edit and show preview, yet still clogs RC, maybe a one day ban would do a little good? Antiarchangel NO U 00:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've added his account to my friends list in GW. if he gets on, I'll ask him there. btw, this has been reported to the admin noticeboard, and its been decided that he may not actually read his talk page. i'll keep an eye out for him in-game though. perhaps he'll talk then. -- Wandering Traveler 00:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) May i suggest trying to contact someone on the guild's contact list in game first? If my sense motive roll doesn't fail, the user will just keep going even if banned (appears too busy trying to improve his page for paying attention to what goes around), so maybe trying to talk with other related people could prove to be more helpful. A user banned for not listening plus a guild page deleted because of cleanup is not a happy ending after all.--Fighterdoken 00:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I've given him a notice about the notices and reverting the tags, but it would be best if that was the final notice on his talk page. As I said, they will probably detract him from reading it, and some of the stuff there is inappropriate (like the image). As Fighterdoken says, try to contact him in-game or find another of his contacts. Just be patient and don't get annoyed with him. We are all new at some point. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

- more of a mental note now as it will just be removed...Dominator Matrix 00:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe but earlier he was doing the exact same thing with the {{guild}} tag and yet as soon as I left my message he seemed to stop removing it, odd timing? --Kakarot 00:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- If it's just going to be removed seconds later, and the links aren't looked at, there's not much point of putting it back on. I would suggest on waiting until someone contacts him in-game. If things keep getting reverted though, he may have to be blocked for violating 1RR. I'm a bit hesitant to do that because he's new (like we all were), but I don't see another choice if he keeps ignoring the notices and continues removing the tags. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

- Considering blocking is also a preventative measure not just a punitive one it might be the best way, although contacting him or his guildies in-game would of course be much better. --Kakarot 00:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Another option, instead of blocking, could be protecting the page at sysop level. Maybe after being unable to edit it anymore he would start asking questions (or creating the page with a new name). That, or we could all just "suck it up", wait until he finish his editing, and THEN start tagging :).--Fighterdoken 00:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

As was said above, something simmilar was discussed when liche/lushh/eloc began, and since then (followed by grinch and some other unicode account) it has been implied that anything is allowed as sign as long as the respective account is registered by the same user (and we have several users with accounts and signatures totally unrelated now).

Dyes addition
I guess I can see why one might think that my addition to the Dyes section is out of place, but do you have any idea where to put it? I picked the Acquisition and Trade section because my addition had to do with trading.--Valkupo 16:16, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- If it was shortened down to perhaps something like "dyes can make a good investment by doing blah and selling blah, however it may be blah to be blah because blah and blah" and written in a more third-person documentation point of view, you could put it back in. I reverted because it seemed too much like an advertisement of sorts, and in that form it would be better suited to the talk page. It's probably good advice, but it could be improved. -- Brains12 \ Talk 19:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Wiki issues
are there still issues with the wiki as i changed the size of a picture but its now showing me a grey box instead which says "Error creating thumbnail: /home/httpd/gwwiki/home/gwwiki/en/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory". Is it my computer or is it a wiki thing? -- Salome 22:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Temp wiki issue, it goes away (preview issue). Dominator Matrix 22:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

- Sometimes it helps to purge your cache, but it generally gets fixed after a while. If it's still like that after an hour or so, tag it for I2 speedy. -- Brains12 \ Talk 22:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Has it always done this? As never noticed it before. -- Salome 23:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- It happens occasionally; although it's been happening more often recently.. I just had this same problem when trying to replace an image... -- Brains12 \ Talk 23:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- I hope they fix it soon, as its annoying the hell outta me, im trying to resize things so that they are one uniform size, but everytime i try imjust getting those annoying grey error messages. Also weirdly on one of the pics i uploaded i had to change to 149px to be able to see the image, as at 150px it just continues to show the picture i replaced and its been like that now for over a week. Very weird. -- Salome 23:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Brains could you do me a wee favour? Could you check this page Gallery_of_male_warrior_Elite_Luxon_armor, then change the helmet front picture to 150px instead of 149px and tell me if its still the same picture or if it reverts to an orangey looking picture? (which was the previous version) As not sure if its just my comp or the wiki. -- Salome 23:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it goes to the old version instead. -- Brains12 \ Talk 23:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that
Sorry about that, so that basically means I can't vote since I don't have the minimum of 100 edits? Does that include edits on my userpage? Artemis 01:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment
Hi Brains, I want to thank you for taking the time to add your comment to my recent RFA and for the questions you posted on the respective talk page :) --Kakarot 02:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
droks (explorable)
i know, but that's a wiki bug, the images are actually the other way round, and you just switched them. now the map is at the top and the map is at the bottom^^ —ZerphaThe Improver 00:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, they could do with a rename :P. As it is now though, the content of the actual images is more important than the name -- it usually goes screenshot of the place at the top and a map at the bottom. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- jup. compared it with Gyala Hatchery (explorable area). They should better be called "(explorable area)" instead of "(explorable)" at the end instead. But well, Image:Seabed.jpg isn't really much better :P —ZerphaThe Improver 00:41, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hehe :) (CA reverted me so I'm not really "allowed" to revert back... could you change it :) ) -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- huh, now i'm confused. you noticed that those image names are actually semi-ok, as the map shows actually the map, and the other one a screenshot of the area, didn't you? and if yes, what change then? —ZerphaThe Improver 00:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) So they are being reuploaded under the correct names right? The Droknar's_Forge_(explorable)_map.jpg as the map and the Droknar's_Forge_(explorable).jpg as the screenie, since I was just about to fix it. --Kakarot 01:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, looking at the upload log, Zerpha switched them around to match their purpose. -- Brains12 \ Talk 01:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I was just about to click save with them switched when for some reason I thought I should check Recent Changes. --Kakarot 01:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Protection
I noticed you changed the protection of the Miniatures page, what did you place in the expiry field as I wasn't completely sure if it accepted the date or what format I would right write it in as. --Kakarot 00:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- And as a side note (I should have said), a full protection for the miniature page. Dominator Matrix 00:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- As it only seems to be anons adding mis-information so at this time full protection isn't really necessary. --Kakarot 00:45, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) The expiry time that you put in was there automoatically (may have been formatted different though to match the Mediawiki formatting) -- it is in the format Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:01:00 GMT, so Dayname, daynumber Month Year Hours:Minutes:Seconds Timezone. -- Brains12 \ Talk 00:45, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Previously banned IP at it again
Hello, Brains. I have a question to ask you. I've decided to consult you specifically because your name popped up as I was investigating this problem, as having previously banned the user in question. A few minutes ago, I had a template of my creation (can be found at Template:Guild hall expansion) purged of its contents by IP 75.152.237.162. The vandal's change was quickly reverted. Upon looking at his contributions and log, I quickly realized that this was neither a mistake nor a first-time offense. This particular IP user has deleted all data from several pages, and the user was banned for 3 days for just that. The ban, I assume, has expired, as this same user is again clearing all data from seemingly random pages of the Wiki. Since you have personal experience with this user, could you possibly do something about him? It is evident that the original 3-day ban was not enough to stop this vandal. Thank you for your time, and happy Wiki'ing. --Vorith 22:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- I take that back. I could have sworn it was later than the 26th. :P You're darned fast, thanks man.--Vorith 23:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Protection
Should the protection be taken off from this page? It seems like a while has past since the vandals. --People of Antioch 04:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

apologies
My apologies, I didn't know the IP was actually Sinsiter Fantasy and thus why I thought it was just a vandal making incorrect changes to the page, if I had of known it was Mel, i wouldn't have brought it to the admin noticeboard and would have instead sought to work it out with her and reach some sort of compromise. Honestly just thought it was some random person who was messing about, in light of the spree of anti-lazy vandalism we've had in the last month. I'm sorry for bringing an internal LaZy problem to the admin board as I know it has no place there and as already stated, if I had of known who it was, I wouldn't have. -- Salome 22:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
