User talk:Qrystal12541

Welcome to Qrystal's Talk Page!! I think that having a personal talk page is a wonderful feature of the Wiki community. I've decided that I'm going to try to keep the discussion as organized as I can, mostly through the use of headings and subheadings. If you are here to leave a comment for me, please find the appropriate heading (or make a new one), and please also use new subheadings for new subtopics. And of course, don't forget to indent when replying, and sign with four tildes; you know the drill already I'm sure! ;)

Style and formatting/Quests
Heya there, welcome to the GuildWiki. I can see you were trying to "unify" Elementalist Test by referring to another quest, unfortunately the one you were referring to had some mistakes. Style and formatting/Quests is the guide we use to standardise all quests by ;) Hope that helps. --Xasxas256 08:42, 17 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Hi, and sorry I didn't know about the style guide. Good thing you stopped me before I went ahead and did more of them!  (I'm kinda multitasking today.)  I see the reason to use a standardized guide, so I'm going to go to its discussion page and impart my opinion that the skill icons make the page look a lot slicker! ;) --Qrystal 08:46, 17 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I think you'll find that it's already been brought up and rejected :P On our skill pages we've got skill icons (e.g. for the related skills) but we decided on the quest pages it was better not having icons. But you can bring it up again I suppose. I've done a fair bit of work on the quest pages, they're still not as good as I'd like but they generally conform to the S&F guide. Anyway nice to hear I saved you some trouble, I'm happy to help (although I'm about to go to bed now :P ) --Xasxas256 08:52, 17 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I decided to toss my dime into the conversation on the talk page for the abovementioned guide and wanted to note it here, with a link, just for the sake of completion. --Qrystal 09:37, 17 October 2006 (CDT)

Article moved
FYI: I moved the article Qrystal/collectable drop quick reference (Prophecies) to be User:Qrystal/collectable drop quick reference (Prophecies) (added the userspace designation to the front of it). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:09, 29 November 2006 (CST)


 * OH-- shoot. Thanks.  Sorry about the oversight. --Qrystal 20:12, 29 November 2006 (CST)

Question
I see that you are the one who made that huge article on the Dye Preview Panel page, and I have made a New Article that answers the questions and points that you provided with more description and more pictures. I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction as to who I should ask. Thanks  -- Zakek Xek 19:30, 27 March 2007 (CDT)

Dye Preview Panel
Ok, I read your comment on my Discussion Page, and I'm up to fixing up my fix-up of the article. Just to get things straight, I have a couple of questions about what you wrote:
 * So, I can't put my opinion in the article?
 * How would I go about putting arrows on the screenshots? I've already submitted them.
 * Would you mind helping fixing up the article? I'll gladly give you credit for most of it (I just want to keep my pictures) :)

Respond either on my user talk page or this talk page, i've got them both on my watchlist. Thanks! -- Zakek Xek 11:59, 4 April 2007 (CDT) 
 * I may as well respond here, to keep the conversation thread in one place. I'll respond to your questions in order...
 * Your opinion, no matter how valid it may be, doesn't belong in an encyclopedic description of anything. The point of any wiki (the original wikipedia, or any offshoots like this one) is that the facts must be presented clearly.  You can demonstrate that something is cool or handy or nice, and then it's not necessary for you to explicitly say that it's cool or handy or nice.  And if something isn't necessary, it's better not said, because the fewer words, the better.  Say what the panel does, and let the readers appreciate the coolness of it themselves.  That make sense?
 * You can upload new versions of the screenshots by clicking on the image and going to the image page. There's a link to upload a new version, which essentially replaces the old with the new.  To add the arrows, you can use your favourite image editor (even MS Paint will probably work fine).
 * I wouldn't mind helping fix up the article, but I'd rather just help mold you into a great contributor, and then you can join me on my crusade for the betterment of GuildWiki! :P Also, there's no such thing as giving credit on wikis ... it's all about everyone working together and producing something awesome.  Nobody owns anything, nobody gets any credit, and people are going to fix whatever either of us do anyways.  :)  I would be happy to just check over what you're doing and give you my thoughts whenever you're ready for them!
 * Lastly, I'm pretty sure that the capitalization that Arenanet uses when describing the Dye Preview panel is exactly as I just typed it: capital D, capital P, small p.  The GuildWiki rules say that whatever capitalization Arenanet uses, we use.  This is why the actual article has different capitalization than your version.  (On that note, I'm pretty sure that the "Hero panel" article is erroneously capitalized, but that's a different issue altogether.)
 * I hope that helped! Feel free to ask me anything else too!  --Qrystal 20:58, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
