 * Rose doesn't need a Green card because she could easily immigrate/naturalize being married to a US citizen and all; it's the contract she signed when she first came to the US that is making all of this impossible right now. -- ◄mendel► 01:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Lol, yeah, I've tried the GC lottery many times before and eventually gave up. The reason that's messing things up for me now would also prevent me from getting a green card even if I won the lottery.  Mendel is correct in that I have to fulfill a "contract" so to speak by going back to my home country for 15 more months before I can obtain an immigrant status.  There are waivers for this thing, but from all we've read, in order to get a waiver for this you basically have to have yourself, your spouse, or your child on a deathbed with the only medical treatment available in the US and not in the country you're going to... >_< That, or be a world-renowned genius or be persecuted in your home country for religious or political belief (not happening for me, they friggin love Americans in my part of Ukraine, and I'm not about to convert to Islam)...

 * Mendel, I think the widget is useful, even for people like me who visits Special:RC all the time anyways. Sure, if I'm just refreshing to see what's going on, RC suffices.

Necromancer Shing Jea armor
Hi, please explain why you reverted my edit when all I did was make the page confrom to the usual format. --> Suicidal Tendencie 21:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I gave a link in the revert comment... O_o RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 00:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * To one example, Ele Delver armor, ye. Not only is GWiki still adapting to GW:EN additions (over the weekend I'm adding GW:EN bosses to elite skill locations lists, which has not gotten 50% of GW:EN bosses yet as far as I can see). In any event, that is a clear minority, and there is no reason to split the format into several different styles. I may go through all armor pages and add the trivia to the description. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 13:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find more examples. I just think that things like Chinese script and names of GW players should be kept out of the description, it IS TRIVIA by definition and has no other value than that, it does not describe the item to someone who doesn't read Chinese or knows about the guy who made the videos.  Trivia: matters or things that are very unimportant, inconsequential, or nonessential .  Not that many armors have trivia compared to other articles like quest dialogues, but that's no reason to exclude trivia from armor pages entirely.  I would get more opinions if I were you, before you go and start changing a bunch of articles, you are the first one to have a problem with it, and I don't even understand why.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 16:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I generally try to stick to a given format for simplicity. blah blah scar is similar to Chinese script is describing it, it is saying it looks like something, which, believe it or not, is a description, too. I think it's fair to say a minority of armor pages have trivia, and so unless I see a decent reason to go against the norm, imho, it's just splitting format for no reason.
 * I feel rather unhappy with the have a problem with it bit, I'm not crying in front of my moniter, I'm trying to make the site more simple and user-friendly. Someone, I believe it was Mendel but not 100%, told me the purpose of the site is to document the game as it is, providing infomation useful for those playing the game. There is a case for not presenting such trivia at all. Please observe the fact I'm not making that argument, just I do not see the point of having a section devoted to descriptive trivia, which 99.9% of players will not care about. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 16:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Wether you put the section for trivia under the Description (which should describe the armor, no?) or under a separate Trivia header; It's still there. How much does it matter to have a header above the trivia section? Just my opinion. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (srs Viper) &emsp;(talk)  16:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How much does it matter...? This is likely to vary from person to person so I won't bother replying to it if you don't mind.
 * should describe the armor, no? I can't help feeling like you decided to avoid reading what I said above. If you describe the Plagueborn Staff as being partially made of flesh, why is that different to saying this armor's scar pattern resembles Chinese script?
 * Perhaps something just isn't clicking in my head atm, but flesh exists in RL. Chinese script exists in RL. They're both stating the appearance is similar to something else. I find no reason to start messing with the standard format for such a minute reason. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 16:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Rose: I'm not emotionally involved, just stating the facts as I see them
 * Well, I personally think it's better as trivia. If it has to cite an outside source, it seems like trivia. I think the current description of "network of thin scars covering most of the face" is sufficient. --JonTheMon 17:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Flesh is something familiar to everyone, Chinese Script isn't, and as Jon pointed out, it cites an outside source. And who is Yeoryios? That's not a description, it IS trivia. It is rare, but it's there. The concept of "Standard format" does not rule out exceptions. Take Necromancer Elite Scar Pattern armor/Male - it does not dye, but the "standard format" is that all armor dyes. So what do you do? You make an exception. It's not like everything has trivia or nothing at all, it can be that only a few things have trivia, and still be considered "standard." I wouldn't consider adding a trivia section at the bottom of the article as messing with the standard format. RoseOfKali  18:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC) And I am also stating the facts as I see them, I just see them differently from you.

All articles on the wiki have a potential trivia section at the bottom. You'll find that if articles have trivia (trivia being information that is interesting, but does not enhance actual gameplay), it is always in its own section at the bottom (because it is very unimportant); and that if there are no trivia, the section is absent. I see no reason to do it differently here. -- ◄mendel► 18:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent observation. What's the deal with unconfirmed trivia, e.g. Yeoryios? --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 18:50, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Either it is quite convincing (then it doesn't need to be confirmed), or we confirm it (via Emily Diehl's talkpage on gww), or it gets moved to the talkpage. -- ◄mendel► 19:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There's also Fozzy_Yeoryios to match the gloves and further reinforce the trivia. But afterall, Mendel's word rules all. :) Thanks for finding a way to say it in semi-official terminology after I've been trying to explain it without enough authority to convince anyone.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My what rules the who now??? I think not! Only when I explicitly say that I'm talking as a bureaucrat! And I haven't been! -- ◄mendel► 20:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You rephrased my wall of text with little effort, and that seems to have convinced someone hands down that it is the truth after much preceding opposition, thus you have more authority than me in that person's eyes. I don't think it has anything to do with Bureaucracy.  But there is no reason to discuss this further, it will only incur emotional involvement where there shouldn't be any.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * (EC) This conversation seems to have not gone as I'd intended. I pointed out that I could be calling for the information to be scrapped, and gently showed that I was trying to find a compromise instead of just rampaging on to get my way.
 * As this attempt went down hill, I'm going to try again. Click here to be enlightened. Find the exact character(s) that the headgear is composed of, and it can be in the Trivia section. Until then I ask that it be removed from the article not just the Trivia section.
 * It looks similar to many things no doubt. If you want it on the page, prove it is a reference to a particular character, that it is a character in particular preferably. Until then, I ask someone remove it (I will not break 1RV) and it not be added again until there is the evidence I requested is shown. By all means, move it here on the Talk Page. But until it looks more likely than it does now... --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 20:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh... the characters are there... O_o Or have you not looked at it closely? Don't quote INAFRs on me until you actually do, it's not going to "enlighten" anyone. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * (EC more than once...) You're asking me if I looked at it closely? That's rather ironic from my point of view. I do not speak Chinese, all I ask is for you to show us the particular characters that are used. Trivial should at least be informative where possible, and I really don't think I'm asking a lot. The note should not be there until we are certain that is an actual character. And even then, I would be more comfortable if the character was in someway a significant choice. I don't see the character that it is. I see some crap about vaguely resembling something... --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 21:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Don't try to be smart
 * Lol... you're kidding? HAVE YOU READ THE TRIVIA? THE CHARACTERS ARE LISTED IN THE TEXT OF THE TRIVIA!!! I don't know what could be more specific than that. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:14, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry... WHY WON'T YOU PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE LEARN TO BLOODY READ.
 * The patterns on the forehead of the headgear vaguely resemble the Chinese hanzi 中文 ("zhongwen"), which is the Chinese name for their written language.

You asked to show us the particular characters that are used, and the zhongwen are IT. Now you say you said something else. So for god's sake learn to bloody remember what you asked for. RoseOfKali 21:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Prz relax guys. Or else I will smash. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Smash moar.
 * The one on the right is visibly missing a marking. It is a rough x shape, and does not have the other mark which you attempted to make it look like it does. The other one is exceptionally close but not 100%.
 * I would still prefer if they were in some way significant. Do the characters relate to death? It's a weak argument for something loosely related... at very best loosely... --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 21:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I did not mark anything that is not there. The dot over the X is faint, but it is there if you look closer.  That or the necro has an inherent green mark right there.  And the main reason I find it significant is not even the degree of the resemblance, but the meaning of the characters, like I said before, it's not some random thing.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I see it. There is a more prominant marking above and to the right. It's the hairstyle or something. If this was a reference, it would be much more visible. Give it up. --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 21:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It's clearly red... that colour used in the hairstyle... now, what am I now asking for that I did not ask for before? --> Suicidal Tendencie [[Image:Suicidal_Tendencie_Sig.jpg]] 21:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * His hair is pink, not green, you're not seeing the mark, I'm not talking about the "prominent one up and to the right," but the faint one. Unfortunately, I don't have a character to show a better contrast of black on white or vice/versa. And Ishy was the one to refine the wording and add the characters instead of going "wtf is this?": . So I don't see a reason to give anything up. Why don't you give up, actually? Or go delete the Chromatic Scale one first, because there's no relation there at all other than 2 words put together. But as you said before, this is "Asian in an Asian based game." RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:38, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Felix Solves the Problem
Here's the thing, guys. We do list so-called "accidental trivia." In other words, something doesn't need to be confirmed by ArenaNet to be considered notable and trivia-worthy- it may not have even been intended as a reference! Look at Chromatic Scale or a number of skills with similar icons to each other.

Now, I suggest that someone grabs the specific texture with Texmod or some such so we can do an in-depth comparison and decide whether it's close enough to be notable. 21:10, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Would be awesome if you could do that, I have no clue how to extract textures. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
