User talk:Makenx10266

Hi there. Thanks for contributing to the wiki. I can see you've been updating some of the unique weapons with information about alternatives. While I think this generally a good idea, I have one objection: If you mention and link to a collector item, you don't have re-list the features of that item (they are already listed on the collectors pages). Doing so creates redundant data, which makes it difficult to maintain accuracy in case Anet ever changes anything at collectors again. Also, on a side note, usually ony the first occurance of a word gets wikified. So if you mention "collector" several times on a page, put only the first one in brackets. :)--Eightyfour-onesevenfive 04:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Another thing: There is a difference between a user page and a user's talk page. The first one is for the user to tell something about himself, the latter is for leaving messages and discussion. ;) You can access the talk page for each article by clicking on "Discussion" on the top of the screen, above the article's headline. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 04:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * What 84-175 said. Thanks for contributing! Regarding the collector alternatives for green items: I think it is a good idea to separate this section by a heading, as you have done for the ones you added later. If you could go back through all of them and add the heading, that'd be nice.
 * And one more tip for talk pages: You can sign your posts by adding --~ at the end of your post. There is a button for this in the icon tool bar right above the edit window. -- 04:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Just wanna say I love what you are doing. My only question is, are you making sure the bow types are the same? Does an Ascalon bow look as gigantic as Drago's and does it have the same range? Not much of a ranger person. --Karlos 08:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for you message. AS for the bow, I am not a ranger person either. But you may refer to Ranger Collector Weapons or even the collector's page to check the bow type. That's what I am referring to. As I indicate in the Counterpart, the look of the "artificial" unique weapon will not be the same as the original unique item. So I don't think the Ascalon Bow will look as gigantic as the unique bow you are referring to, but rather, the good old look of the Ascalon Bow. =) I think some of the unique weapons are like 15k armor, have a really cool look but the same stats as the normal and cheaper counterpart. --Makenx 08:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * That's what I do not know and was hoping you can tell me. I thikn you chose the Ascalon bow for the 15% dmg, but I do not know if the Ascalon Bow is the same basic type as Drago's. --Karlos 09:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * For Flatbow, only collector Luven Underwood and Mag Ironwall have that. But the name in game is still "Ascalon bow". I guess someone actually tried the bow and figured out how the bows behave in attack and categorized the collector ascalon bow into different types of bow. For the bows in Maguuma Jungle, there is no infomation I can refer to about what type of bows the ascalon bows actually are, so I can't be sure if they are flatbow or not. ;-) --Makenx 10:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
