Halloween?

You could make me a cool background pic for my userpage. :D Something like the halloween text on this page. I'd put it up after the sox get eliminated of course lol o.o — Seru Talk 03:00, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, just let me know when and what :D -- Wyn 03:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll even change my page for Halloween colors! :D I just need a cool background image. So if you have anything in mind or if you can make something cool just let me know and ill make it my background :D — Seru Talk 03:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

OBJECTION! --Antioch 05:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I will confess. When I saw Wyn's theme got Hallow, I totally thought "I should do that, too." Makes sense to me. It's my favorite holiday.- Vanguard 05:11, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

You should all go comment here too :P -- Wyn 05:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Nice argument u2 have here :). Made me create my own HH page :). --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 11:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Userpage help

dear wyn, i just joined wiki and was wondering if you could help me make a page for ma characters, userboxes... e.t.c. thanks for reading

Adam --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Judheman (talk).

I would be happy to help you, you just need to give me more information. -- Wyn 20:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Wyn, think you can find me some really good holloween images? I found some but I have no taste...as you very well know =D. -- WoB 00:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Wyn, I also need help on creating a User page with userboxes. I'm not too kean on the halloween theme though as i can't be bothered changing it when halloween passes o.O --Volken Blade 10:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

for chars

well i need some slots for my characters. and i need userboxes. and sumwhere for titles nd stuff lyk dat. and also how do i pute userboxes on my page??? lol --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Judheman (talk).

Ok, I can give you a basic table structure to fill in. As for the userboxes, if they are already created by someone as a template, you simply type {{<template name>}}. You can find a list of them here. What colors do you like? I also need a list of your characters.... you can put the basic information on your page, simply click on your name at the top of the page to get to the edit screen.-- Wyn 13:53, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

i have 3 characters Adam The Myctic (derv male) I Got U In A Tance (female mes) and Ya R R (male ranger pvp)

lol i splet mysctic wrong hehe its Mystic not Mytic lol --The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]).

I can really recommend Wyn's Templates, they're well made, Y0's templates are also very good, in fact my own templates have got many elements from these users, and they both made it very easy to both use and edit for your own needs. — Cloud Xan 12:17, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Halloween templates

Hey Wyn, do you mind if i stole your Halloween logo? It wont be for long. Thanks for everything,--Burning Freebies 16:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Guilds

Hellllooo, I need help getting the cape image on my guild page, Guild: We Are The Gods. I have uploaded image but i can't get an image of just my assassin and the cape. do you think you can help me?? --Volken Blade 10:42, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It appears you have managed to get a nice image up. If you still need help, let me know. -- Wyn 12:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Wyn you were too fast in noticing these things, I had a nice guide typed out and you'd replied whilst I was doing so (the edit conflict stopped me from posting it) :P. — Cloud Xan 12:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

LOL! You can still post your guide :D -- Wyn 12:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Too late, closed the tab with it in a long time ago. If a query like this appears again I'll post it then ;) — Cloud Xan 21:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

User Page

Dude, Ineed help setting up my user page "User: Volken Blade", please no halloween theme though :D--Volken Blade 14:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey do you think you could do the same for my guild emblem like you did with yours? --Volken Blade 16:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

yes. -- Wyn 16:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, I owe you one--Volken Blade 17:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Aaaargh, my user page is totally stuffed up, check it out. can you fix it please? o.O--Volken Blade 18:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Explain? I can prob help you. — Seru Talk 19:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Tbh, he was probably referring to this. Ale_Jrb (talk) 19:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

No, he removed comments which is a NO NO. -- Wyn 19:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, he wasn't. Ah well, just good timing then. Ale_Jrb (talk) 19:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey you know underneath the titles on my user page its white, can you change it to black please?--Volken Blade 19:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

He basically is asking for a black page, which in my opinion is a horrible idea. -- Wyn 19:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll make the black page. — Seru Talk 19:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi wyn, how do i set up character pages like yours?--Volken Blade 14:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Just copy/paste the useage code from my character template and fill in your information. -- Wyn 14:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey wyn, can i meet you in the game? --Volken Blade 15:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

oops

I guess I should have read my messages before posting this.

I'll stop now. ~Shard 03:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

[1]

Censorship, internets, etc. Nice joke - you're not going to get anywhere removing his shit, and the screenshot at the least is quite interesting. Furthermore, if ANet doesn't have enough skin to withstand the bitching of an angry customer that they're not even reading... 75.182.89.73 04:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

That "bitchig" doesn't belong on a wiki. Its a forum/support topic. Do NOT tell wyn to stop cleaning up feedback pages, they are there for feedback not for rants against the game.— Seru Talk 04:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I reported Mr.Ip to admin noticeboard. -- WoB 04:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll tell Wyn and Dominator when they're fucking up if I feel like it, thanks. Also, do I really want to know what you're putting me on the noticeboard for? 75.182.89.73 04:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

The lauguage you used to tell Wyn that she "Messed up". I agree with Seru as well, comments like that should be useed in a forum/support topic. -- WoB 04:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Enough already. -- Wyn 04:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh noes, I swore. Grow up, kid. :/ 75.182.89.73 04:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't take out out your frustration on the Sysops for doing their jobs.— Seru Talk 04:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

NPA? — Wolf 04:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Funny, I was under the impression that a sysop wasn't any more important than a normal user. Why, then, would it matter that Wyn's a sysop when I'm debating non-sysop matters? 75.182.89.73 04:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

My removal of the post in question was an administrative decision on my part. I had alerted Shard his rants were inappropriate, and he was kind enough to point that one out. I removed it. That makes it something another admin can/should/would review if asked. -- Wyn 04:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Pretty sure that's not actually related to your administrative responsibilities and capabilities. Anyone could have removed that, and I'd have bitched at them just the same.

Also, Dark, where's the NPA? :/ 75.182.89.73 04:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Discretion is actually a large part of my administrative responsibilities/capabilities. -- Wyn 04:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Last I checked, a question mark denotes a question. Your comments could be taken as an NPA if people are so inclined. Also, admins and sysops are the only users allowed to remove comments. — Wolf 04:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't kid yourself. Discretion is a right held by all wiki editors. This wiki is simply sad enough that it thought it had to throttle its admins more than its normal users in order to make progress. (What kind of bullcrap was the idea to make it so bureaucrats couldn't use sysop powers, anyway?)
This paragraph includes a question mark. Does that automatically make it suspect for NPA? No, it does not. Sit down and use that brain you've got - you used it a few days after you registered here, and it honestly saddens me to see you acting like this now.
I'm pretty sure anyone can remove a comment, actually, if it's sufficiently awful.
75.182.89.73 04:54, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

WoB and I had a chat over x-fire "[23:50] WoB: and Wyn already asked not on her talk page too xD" Kaybye. I'm done here. Sorry Wyn. — Wolf 04:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I would agree, and I am not exactly sure what you mean by me acting like this. As an editor of this wiki I'm fed up to my eyeballs with the trash that people put on here and think is appropriate. As a sysop I'm able to back up some of that with the ability to ban users for their inappropriateness. If you or anyone think I've overstepped my bounds, you are perfectly able to take it to another admin, or ask for my RfA to be reconfirmed if you think I've overstepped to that degree. As for Bcrats not having sysop powers, that was removed with the last revision of the admin policy. As for what is the norm on any other wiki, that is not relevant here as this is GWW, not any other wiki and we live with and within the policies that were established by this community. If you would notice, I haven't said you have violated NPA or any other policy that I'm aware of, we are having a discussion on my discussion page. I'm sorry if you feel I am not doing what I should be as a sysop, or as an editor for that matter. I have offered you ways to have my actions reviewed. -- Wyn 05:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Conveniently enough, none of those ways are viable for the simple reason that none of the sysops here know what NPA was created for, with the exception of Auron, who's gone to bed. A reconfirmation isn't appropriate ever, so I don't see why you think it'd be useful here.

The comment about bcrats was more directed at the thought process behind "let's make bureaucrats weaker than normal users". I thought that was obvious; apparently I was wrong. 75.182.89.73 05:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Auron in bed? This early on a Saturday night? I highly doubt that. As for me using my brain I sincerely try to, as for my actions of a few days after I registered here, you have really lost me as to what you are talking about. My first experiences here were not very happy ones, and it's amazing I'm still here. -- Wyn 05:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

If he's not in bed, why isn't he on MSN? Don't try to tell me he's out having a life, we know that's not true. The other points were directed at Dark. 75.182.89.73 05:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that would explain why they so confused me. and yeah, it's only like 6pm where Auron is... -- Wyn 05:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

You refering to my posts on Ursan and stuff back in June/July? — Wolf 05:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

More like when you stopped your "wub izzy" spam, or however you want to call it. 75.182.89.73 05:24, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Check my logs, been around since january. — Wolf 05:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll just go ahead and admit lurkfail, as I cbf paging through your several thousand contribs. 75.182.89.73 05:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Why was this post removed? A top guild was exploiting a bug in an exhibition match. I think that has everything to do with a problem in the game. ~Shard 05:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Then post it appropriately, without the attacks on Anet employees. -- Wyn 05:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Were there attacks to remove, I'm sure he would do so. 75.182.89.73 05:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

One word, Libel. — Wolf 05:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Wyn, you have an annoying habit of telling me not to do something right after I do it. ~Shard 05:41, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Shard, and thank you. -- Wyn 05:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Quicksand page

Hello there again. Yeah I have a concern. Can you head to Quicksand page and fix the concise or the other description? I don't know which one is the right one. One states a level 1 spirit the other doesn't. Im concern since I've posted a note about a level 1 spirit and a statement about it.--ShadowFog 05:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Done. -- Wyn 05:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I've deleted the second note. Thanks a bunch!--ShadowFog 05:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

what

was so offensive about my post ? Lilondra *poke* 10:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Continually telling him he doesn't know how to do his job, or that he's doing it wrong. Especially in rebuttal of a post calling for patience. The whole, Izzy is bad at his job and we could all do it so much better, it's all out of place here. Feel free to post honest, non flaming feedback on skills on the feedback pages. If you have a personal, not job related, question for Izzy, post it on his talk page. If you have complaints about ArenaNet's personnel, send them an email. It doesn't belong on this wiki. -- Wyn 11:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

actually my intentions werent flaming or saying how bad he is else I wouldnt have said I think he is confused. but if you see it as flaming ok shure sry then Lilondra *poke* 12:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Lilondra when stated he sucks at hes job, unfortunately this is a rule stated at his page and this is where I agree with Wynthyst:"...non-useful and inappropriate discussion may be removed entirely. This is left to admin discretion.". He already knows he get flamed for every update. No matter how many times you unload on him, he still get paid and he knows why every people unload hate on him too.--ShadowFog 13:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

izzy deserves to be trolled for great justice. he's the reason we can't have nice things, like gvg that requires skill :/ --Cancer Angel 21:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I think if people actually stopped trolling and flaming Izzy he'd actually have more inclination to listen, it doesn't exactly take much effort to be nice. If everyone provided a nice logical argument for why they think a nerf is bad (and not just because it makes the skill baed) then he would have a lot of feedback to go on and some respect for the common player. It is his job to shake things up a little every once in a while, and if that provides some inconvenience to the player, what is he more likely to listen to? A well thought out argument, or just a jumble of anger and stupid catchphrases like "fail"?

Just my £0.02. Respect works two ways. — Cloud Xan 21:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Because i just love to give you more work to do

Left the same question in the guideline page, but still. GWW:GUILDS encourages users to use redirects instead of creating multiple articles for "large guilds", but we often end asking users to create individual articles. Should we just try to push for removing such statement from the guideline? I mean, someone asked me a couple of days ago, and i had problems trying to explain how to interpret it.--Fighterdoken 08:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess I don't understand what was intended by large guild. As the game functions, each guild can have 100 players, they can't get any larger than that. The way I have interpreted the large guild section of GWW:GUILDS is that if there are divisions within the 100 player guild, pve, pvp, gvg, etc., those divisions could be outlined/detailed on a subpage of the Guild. Anything above 100 players becomes multiple guilds that form an alliance, whether they function as a single guild, each component has its own name, a specified leader, officers, members, and as such needs it's own page. Even if that page is a carbon copy of the main page with the mentioned details adjusted. We don't host Alliance pages, however, an alliance "site" can be achieved through use of a nav bar linking each guild as Tomato has done with his (His is a bit special as the Alliance name is actually a dummy guild he established in game as a placeholder (so it appears there are 11 guilds in his alliance).-- Wyn 08:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Probably what they mean with "large guild" is something than this: "A guild has a leader and 99 members, another guy wants to join but can't, so they split their guild in two picking up random-officer-01 as leader for the new guild. Even if for GW standards they are two guilds (part of the same alliance or not) all administrative decisions are still made by the leader (or a team) of the original guild".

Either case, we may be best just removing the section from the guideline.--Fighterdoken 08:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

User page deletion

While I'm not saying it shouldn't have been deleted, perhaps U2 wasn't the greatest of reasons for doing so. :p 216.187.245.204 15:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

It was tagged as a non-existent user. If that was wrong, I apologize, because I didn't check, I trusted the tagger. -- Wyn 15:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

It was an old vandal whose page was useless both times it was created. It wasn't a nonexistent user (and, fyi, an easy way to check that would have been to try to edit his talk page), but it didn't particularly deserve to be kept, as 216.187 said above. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 21:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

An easier way to check that would have been to scroll down and look for the "User contributions" link in the toolbox nav menu; if it's there, he exists (and vice versa). -- Brains12 \ talk 22:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Question about redirections

I've been reading through the wiki help files but a lot of it I don't understand.. Wiki's are coded funky imo, lol. I made a guild page a while back and the name of the guild [reflected in the url] is rather long so i was wanting to shorten it with a redirect or something. I had created one a while back and I saw it was deleted by you [because I obviously did it wrong, lol] and I was wonder if you could help me do it correctly. [3] -- there's the link to my guild page. The guild is also known as The Destined Sages. People were searching the full name and the search engine would never pull it up. Could you help me make a page to search as 'The Destined Sages' that would forward users to the guild page? Thanks in advanced!

[Btw: Can you send me a link to look up guild page or user page templates?]

Magic 02:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

If you read our Guild page policy, you will see you have to name your guild page with the exact name as your guild has in-game. So, the answer to your question is no, you can't shorten it or create a shortened redirect to it. I don't know why your page was deleted, or when, and since you recreated it rather than requesting it restored on the Admin noticeboard I don't believe I can find out. -- Wyn 04:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Wait.. what.. O.o the redirect page thingy was deleted yes. And yes I read the guild policies page, the name of the page and the url matched. Thanks for the answer reguarding the shorten version as well.. But other then the redirect, what page were you talking about that got deleted? To my knowledge i never recreated a page after it was deleted. My guild page was never touched, just the redirect page I had made when I first came here. I just wish the information on rules and formatting was clearer.. If you're not used to a wiki's code then your screwed on here. ><

Magic 21:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You said... "I had created one a while back and I saw it was deleted by you [because I obviously did it wrong, lol]" and I read that as "I had created a guild page a while back", when in fact you meant you had created a redirect a while back.... my bad. -- Wyn 23:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Historical disambiguation

Trying to get up to date with what i left not done in August so... Should we put something along the lines of User:Fighterdoken/Sandbox/001 live for replacing redirects in pages like Guild:The Seaguard, so if a new guild is created with that name, they don't just go straight to edit the historical article?.--Fighterdoken 04:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually don't even remember what we decided way back when we were talking about it, and quite honestly I don't have the energy to even go look atm. My first instinct is it's a fine idea, and just let me know what tag I should be placing on the move remnant redirects. (I have an epic size toothache atm, and it's making that kind of though difficult.) -- Wyn 05:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, placed it at {{otherhistorical}} until it get's deleted or you find a better name (cookie if you get the movie reference XD). Basically, we would just need to put {{otherhistorical|no-guild}} on the move remnant (ie. Guild:The Seaguard again). Works that way?--Fighterdoken 06:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) This is sortof related to the above, but what are we going to do about guild capes when a new guild is created with the same name. Right now the historical one uses the original cape image but when that image is replaced by the new guild it will affect both the new guild and the old one. Should we make it so that when a guild is moved to historical the guild cape and any images that will be kept are reuploaded as the guild name (historical) followed by the image name; eg: Guild <guild name> (historical) cape.jpg; as an example? Also when uploading should the original uploaders name be mentioned in the Summary? --Kakarot 12:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were pissed about me judgeing. Had a whole post before edit conflict so I'll replace it with: Some people need to know there are rules and how the wiki works. It's his fault he's flipping out when we're trying to help him not get banned.- Vanguard 18:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Why? So he can cause trouble later? We need to get it out of the way.- Vanguard 18:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Your behavior is aggravating an already aggravated situation, so you got a 5 minute time out. now leave it alone. -- Wyn 18:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I was being FINE. I was saying the same shit you were and you give ME a block? Now I'm aggrivated because I didn't deserve it.- Vanguard 18:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I asked you to leave him be, AFTER I told you you shouldn't have started in the first place. He was obviously getting aggravated by everyone reverting his deletions of comments. I was handling it, and rather than allowing it to be dealt with quietly, you escalated it by firing off rapid responses, which I might point out, stopped me from providing him with rational explanations. A five minute time out is not going to kill you, however, if you continue aggravating him, you will get a longer one. -- Wyn 18:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I won't because it's done, which I feel I helped with.- Vanguard 18:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Lock

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? -- Wyn 14:32, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Locking a page to avoid edits. Well... for a certain amount of time that is. If you guys do that?--ShadowFog 14:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's called protection, and there are several levels that are available. Most of the time, we only protect a page that is being repeatedly vandalized for a day or two until the vandal gets bored, but like the main page is permanently protected from edits by other than Sysops/Admins. -- Wyn 15:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

random userbox added on userpage vs making userpage for someone 80.101.221.231 20:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Considering that the situation with Wafflez page concerned reverting a change to her page that SHE had done (one that removed all content from her page and replaced it with a single sentence) and someone adding a single userbox by an anonymous user and applying AGF (again, 218. MIGHT have been Noxify himself) is as Brains points out a completely different and incomparable situation. -- Wyn 20:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I was highly amused none-the-less :> Misery 20:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, then I'm glad I was able to entertain you. -- Wyn 20:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Shit, I'm sorry, I just realised not everyone can hear the explanations in my head that make my comments actually make sense. See this is rather an ironic situation, because at first, it appears as if I am suggesting your actions are hypocritical, when at their core they could also be interpreted as very consistent. While the two actions appear opposite, they are consistent in the appearance of being engineered to cause maximum drama. For NoXiFy's page you claim "he may have even added it himself", in which case the path of lowest drama would surely be to take it off and wait to see if he logged in and re-added it now that he is unbanned, no harm no foul rather than him actively having to remove trolling himself if he didn't want it there. In the case of Wafflez page once an edit war started, the decision was made to continually revert and tell the other party to refrain from editing other pages, violating 1RR, instead of enquiring as to why the other party was breaking 1RR in order to edit someone elses user page. All in all, highly amusing drama. Don't take this as a "zomg admins are corrupt on teh wikiz!" rant, I just found the whole thing highly amusing and "troll-like", much like the contriversial title I chose for this section. I see now that one of the other parties is getting NPA policies thrown at him, I will laugh all night long if he gets banned over this. It was an amazing display of staying calm while working someone else up. Misery 20:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I will admit to some subjective decisions here. I find Noxify a troll of the first sort (his username pretty much describes him to a tee) so having that userbox on his page to me is appropriate, and fitting, and highly amusing. To have a user revert a fairly major edit on another user's page is a fairly large stretch of the 'don't edit other users' pages' policy, and I felt needed to be noted. The fact that the user totally overreacts in general is something I probably should have noted before I started. I also don't feel like you are berating me for my choices and again, am glad I could entertain you for a short period. -- Wyn 20:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Excellent, now I am amused and pleased that I was understood, today has been a good day for me in many many ways :> Misery 20:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Guild pages

hey well im new to wiki so can u do the changes for me --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Iceman (talk).

You simply need to remove the information that is only pertinent to guild members. The purpose of the wiki's guild namespace is to document your guild. Things like guild history, playing philosophy, basic rules, recruitment policy, and people to contact for more information. -- Wyn 04:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

thank you for doing that to my wiki site from now on i wont update to often --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Iceman (talk).

You are welcome. To keep your guild pages active, you must edit at least once every 3 months. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me, any helper, check out our Help center, or post a question on our Help:Ask a wiki question page. You probably should read over the guild page policy as well. It should tell you everything you need to know about Guild pages on this wiki. Also remember to sign your comments on talk pages. Happy Wiki-ing! -- Wyn 04:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Block

I just noticed that you have already noticed Oomdin's page. I guess I acted too quickly thinking no sysop was around. Just to note that I threw that user a permaban and then unblocked him after seeing your response. I'm just thinking that such a user isn't really serious about helping the community and doesn't need a warning. But it's your call. -- ab.er.rant 06:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I was just not sure exactly what to do, since it's not a typical vandal, and confined to his own userpage. I would have no problem with your permaban tbh, I just didn't want to overreact since as an individual userpage of a new user, it's not THAT disruptive. -- Wyn 06:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Norrhart Domains map

Hello. I noticed the Norrhart Domains map isn't completely accurate, so i found that the Baglorag Grumblesnort boss page of the same map could be used in replacement. However, I'm not a picture/Internet/wiki techie, so could you load that map w/o the boss patrol marked on it to replace the Norrhart Domains map? -- UglyLooking 18:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

The best thing to do is place an {{image update}} tag on the bad map. I don't think the boss map would make an adequate replacement since it only details the location of that boss. -- Wyn 18:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

so how would i do that? {{map name|image update}} ? -- UglyLooking 18:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I've taken care of it. -- Wyn 18:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Kudos

I just wanted to say that you have done a wonderful job with your user space. I am extremely new at this and I have learned a bunch in just my first few days of tweak'n. I was wondering what are the rules for using parts of other pages on here for the user page you are working on? For instance, am I allowed to borrow page designs from your page and use on mine?

Silent fist of fury 20:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

First of all, thank you for the compliment. I tend to go a bit over the top sometimes, but I like the fact I (or anyone else) can find pretty much any information about my characters/game progression by coming here (of course it's not automatic, I have to keep things updated). Secondly, you can use pretty much anything from other's pages that you like, many, including myself, have provided templates that make it easy to duplicate the designs. Mine are linked on my userpage. If you use other people's designs it's proper wiki etiquette to first ask on their talk page (unless like me they have provided public links to things), and then give credit (or attribution) to the source, usually in the form of a simple link back to their userpage. If you need help using a template, or creating one for yourself, you might want to take a look at Help:Templates. Of course, you can feel free to ask questions of me, any helper, check out our Help center, or post a question on our Help:Ask a wiki question page. -- Wyn 21:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

A couple of more questions if you don't mind. If I use a template of yours, do i have to save that template to my user pages to use it? For example, with your heroes template, i tried referencing the template of yours, but it would not work. I found that when I created that template under my user name, it would work. Is that what has to be done or am I missing something to enable me to just reference your template? Also, could you look at why my template is not displaying correctly? Thanks. [| messed up template] Silent fist of fury 17:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah.. you are trying to use it on GWiki... they don't have the same protocols set up, it's the yes/no templates that are messed up. That's what is causing you the difficulties. My templates are designed for this wiki, not that one. -- Wyn 18:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. The yes/no templates on GWiki don't use the same images, so it looks a bit different... and the templates aren't yes/no, they are Y/Nope... silly I know, but yes/no was already being used in other ways. -- Wyn 18:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!! I didn't even realize we were on seperate wikis. I appreciate your patience and help. From a user's standpoint, what is the difference between the two wikis? Should I have created my user page on this wiki instead? Fury 18:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, this is the official Guild Wars Wiki hosted by ArenaNet. We have a different copyright license. GWiki was created by an individual back when the game was first released, and built by the community, and eventually sold to Wikia. There are benefits of both wiki's.... GWiki has the history, GWW has the official interaction with ArenaNet. Those are the big differences. -- Wyn 18:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! Daniel Frozenwind recommended that I get in contact with you about designing user pages here on Wiki. I've been playing around with some of the codes and have used some of your templates but they have some things I'd like replaced with little boxes like on Tesla's page. Would you be able to help me do that please? If you need any information, let me know. Thanks!

Seru helped me out a lot on the user page design as well. :D I can't seem the find the code that allows me to add pictures though. lol And how did you make that? I used to make layouts for other sites a long time ago but this one stumps me. :D I'd like to learn, so if you know of a tutorial, that would be helpful! :) Thanks!

as for auron...

As for auron...he should have asked me b4 deleting the page i put up...it wasnt hurting any1. He has numerous comment that he is an abusive sysop, and probly should be removed from his position. I was trying to explain to sum1 how to use wiki using that as an example and have her make an acct to show her. since i had never edited on wiki myself i had to try it. And he deleted it b4 i got to show her like a fucking ass hole...so i deleted his page, which was right back up within 10 mins. Wiki is meant to be edited by any1, not by sum asshole that thinks he has a job title. have fun, play GW, leave me alone, discussion over! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:98.212.217.103 (talk).

So I take it you didn't actually read any of those sections claiming abuse? Most notably, the part where they provided absolutely no proof? You might want to do a bit more homework before taking what trolls say as fact. -Auron 01:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikis are able to be edited by anyone. You, too, are free to edit most pages (others' user pages being one of the few exceptions). However, as per the policies on this wiki, like Wynthyst pointed out, IP users cannot have user pages. If you wish to make a page to show a friend, then you have to register a user name here first. Then, any page you create, as long as it's within our user page guidelines will not be deleted. Please review the rules before you start calling people "ass holes[sic]." Kokuou 01:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict x2) No, he didn't need to ask you before deleting your page, as has been explained, as an unregistered user, you are not entitled to a userpage. If you wish to have a page where you can post anything that you want that conforms to our user page policy you simply need to register a username. You don't have the right to vandalize another user's page in any circumstance. I would also appreciate it if you could use enough vocabulary to not swear on my talk page, as I find it offensive and unnecessary. If you have a problem with Auron, and feel he has abused his sysop position, feel free to ask for a reconfirmation. Ranting and raving and violating GWW:NPA is not going to get you anything but a ban. -- Wyn 01:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

HAHA!! I hope you people dont get paid to do this. Its pretty funny that you have time to sit around and ban me and force me to create an account.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Justinkaz (talk).

The funnier thing is that someone, somewhere, somehow manages to find this normal and ever-so-slightly depressing and moderately annoying situation even remotely amusing. So I suggest you continue entertaining yourself elsewhere while waiting out your three-day ban, and if you want, come back in three days with a slightly straighter head on that isn't bent on finding humor in such situations. calor (talk) 02:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Another depressing and annoying situation is where all IPs are considered nonexistent users. Can we not at least modify that part of the deletion policies (make a U4 or U5 or whatever)? It just seems kind of offensive. I'll hold out on the "but no one actually cares if IPs get userpages" rant, but... -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 05:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Armond, you know as well as I do why non registered users don't get userpages. Regardless of what anyone may say, even people who pay for static IP addresses cannot control everything. I had a static IP bought and paid for.... my ISP got sold to another company... oh... guess what? My static IP got changed. They were oh so sorry for any inconvenience that might cause me, but meh.. thems the breaks. If someone wants to register their IP as their username (and several actually have) then they can have a userpage :P As for the deletion rules... that discussion belongs somewhere other than my talk page :P

BTW Justinkaz, if you are wondering, you didn't get banned (for a day) to force you to create an account, you got banned for your repeated violations of GWW:NPA in regards to the attacks on Auron. You further got banned (for 3 days) after coming here to tell me you had created an account, thus circumventing your original ban. -- Wyn 05:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Meh, I archive on the 1st and 15th of each month... and if trolls like you would keep your nonsense to yourself, maybe I wouldn't have to :P -- Wyn 05:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't want to make my own section, so I am troll-hijacking this one. Yarr! Now then, Wyn: I have no issue with you, never have, probably won't ever. Sorry you caught me before I removed that other page from my list. I have an issue with one person only. The other people I've disagreed with I've talked to and not had a problem with. There is only one person I don't get along with because he's allowed to do whatever he wants and it bothers me to no end. It's like working with the boss' son who can get away with anything. I fired my own boss' son. He understood. Ghosst • Talk • 20:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, he has not violated policy that I'm aware of. If you have recent proof otherwise, bring it to attention on the noticeboard and it will be dealt with. -- Wyn 20:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm hoping with you I don't have to play Grade 3. So let me be vague because I like people with intellect. I don't need "CAUTION: HOT!" printed on my coffee cup. I know it burns. The one person I singled out was a long time ago and it's when I understood that no one here is a true "admin", only a "mod" at best. I asked if it were wise to not punish someone who posted code for disrupting a page and was advised "there [was] no specific policy against posting it". So I don't work within a specific set of rules telling me right from wrong, I know what it is, and need no pseudo-lawyer to define it for me. Now the admin part only makes sense if you are into computers, but if I owned this server and someone posted how to cripple it or disrupt it, they would be banned, instantly. Their IP would be reported to their ISP. I don't need a policy to tell me it's wrong. The same rule applies; use your eyes and ears and your common sense (and you do, I'm not directing anything at you), and you can see what is right and what is not. At any rate, I've pirated this section for all it's worth. Yarr! Ghosst • Talk •

I would agree with your assessment. And we do have policy that prohibits the posting of things that violate the EULA. -- Wyn 20:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Excel

Hey wyn! I'm currently translating an introduction to office and i'm stuck at the term for "work folders" in Excel or PowerPoint. the heading is called "Open a file or (...)". do you know term those programs use for that? (maybe spreadsheet?) - Y0_ich_halt 16:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Workbook in Excel, Presentation in Powerpoint. -- Wyn 16:13, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

ok, thanks :) - Y0_ich_halt 16:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

You

are a bad sysop. kpce.--'ÑöẊĭƑý 19:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Ummm, that's a bit of a harsh point. Any evidence for Wyn being a bad sysop?- TheRave (talk) 19:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to add, I personally think Wyn is one of the best Sysops here. She does her job carefully, consistently and very politely. During my time on the wiki I've broken some policies without realising and Wyn has kindly pointed out the problem without being patronising or looking down. It takes a good person to wield power well, and Wyn is good.- TheRave (talk) 19:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Rave, Wyn is a fantastic Sysop. Helped me tonnes, and im not too easy to help (I'm a wiki noob imo), also Wyn has helped tonnes of people just read the talk page full of compliments. Lt Death 20:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Wyn is one of the best sysops, she has a nice personality, she helps tons of people, she even did I much needed overhaul of the Guild namespace. With that being said, Wyn for President! --Shadowphoenix 20:30, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

IF she doesn't go about her work politely, she's just blunt about it, but never rude. There is nothing wrong with begin blunt =D — Wolf 21:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

She's just like a hammer sometimes :) — Seru Talk 21:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know Wyn all that well myself, but I know her well enough to give her a vote of confidence. She's been a great sysop around here, and were I eligible to vote I'd vote to keep her. Nbajammer 21:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow! See what Noxify did? He brought all of this positivity to Wyn's talk page =). Wyn hasn't even needed to defend herself. Everyone has chimed in with praise. Keep up the good work, Wyn! Mohnzh say what? 22:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

woulda been troll feeding with less than three people, but like this... - Y0_ich_halt 22:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes a good rep is all you need, the rest will take care of itself. — Wolf 22:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks guys! You all said it better than I could have. -- Wyn 01:18, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I should have striked it :) — Seru Talk 01:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Halloween time zone

Hallo Wyn, just noticed on the halloween 08 page the UTC/GMT times.Now im from England, would it be much trouble to have a look at the K&Q's Horrorween page schedule? I have this horrible feeling i have thorns visits wrong.3.30 AM ZZZZzzz Frozenwind 03:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The easiest way to solve it is to just copy the table from the Halloween page..... -- Wyn 04:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, looking at the K & Q page, you have Mad King Thorn coming every 2 hours starting at 8:00, he actually comes every 3 hrs starting at 7... -- Wyn 05:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
