Fire and Pain Walkthrough
Can I use it in GWW?reanor 22:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Please understand am not trying to be mean, but I believe the short answer is, no. As with most articles on GuildWiki, that walkthrough is a conglomeration of a number of author's contributions and so to my knowledge, you would need to gain the permission from each author that contributed content to that walkthrough. This, I believe was one of the major "roadblocks" for when ArenaNet were originally looking at putting together their plans for a wiki, they wanted to gain all of GuildWiki's content, but the licensing terms prevented them from doing so (primarily because they wanted to operate their wiki under different licensing terms than here). If someone can shed more light of this, or better yet, can provide a link to where this has surely already been discussed, please enlighten. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I checked the History of the article, and you're the only author except for the last line, wich I can omit or rewrite myself. I'm asking you for a reason.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 00:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I can't take credit for that walkthrough, actually just took a number of lines from the Notes section and cleaned them up into a walkthrough (checkout the edit made at 10:24, October 24, 2007 (UTC), this will show a number of lines from the Notes being removed and altered into a walkthrough), so not mine to give, sorry. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks anyway.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 03:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Interwikis
Thanks. I was thinking they'd need to be done with a bot, but you did it yourself! Angela 03:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Saw the list, was a lot shorter than expected (in terms of mainspace articles), so figured would probably take longer to write a script, check and test it, and apply; than to just rip through and do it manually. Whereas, for all the talk pages with "w:" type links, is likely better if a bot is used; less chance someone be offended about having "their" talk page or comments on a talk page being altered by an automated process. Thanks for the choc-chip cookie, my favourite! :D --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:51, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

User Page (at last)
Well, after six months of sporadic planning (you can't rush these things ya know!), have finally gotten around to posting my user page. Hope you all like it. At this time, I am not giving permission to use, copy or modify any part located in my userspace, but if there is suffient interest, may consider creating a "character dossier" style template for public use (the current version was purpose-built with little of the flexibility a more general-use version should have). --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 00:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Congrats! It's about time, too! --[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 00:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It was almost like your sig was in red font you took so long! --Xasxas256 11:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, nice to hear from you again Xasxas! Hehe, would never use a red font to "fake" a missing link. No, was just couldn't see that anyone would care what my characters were, had achieved etc, and judging by the number of responses in the week since posting it, my instincts were about right. But learning wiki-code to make my character dossier template was enjoyable, so was fun if only for that reason. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You may be the only person I've ever heard saying that learning wiki code is fun. 0.o --[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 01:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

repost
i reposted without the advert tho :S ™Cookie™

*sigh*
By the looks things, we've had one heck of a day swatting vandals, why do they persist to waste their time and ours? :( --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 05:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Because they = phail@life --[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 20:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Good work with the cat fixes
Its probably not very exciting work, but you're doing it anyway. Anyway, I just noticed, and thought you deserved a job-well-done. :) --Shadowcrest  02:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, about as much fun as watching grass grow! --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 02:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Poor cats, who broke them? :P Lord Belar 02:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * MEOW!?!! rofl, thanks needed a giggle. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 02:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thankfully, my cat doesn't need fixing. We already had her spayed. :) Lord Belar 02:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Classic example where shorthand "fixing categories" to "cat fix", and totally missing the fact it would be taken to mean something completely different. Though, I am sure to get some filthy looks from my ranger's pet Melandru's Stalker next time I load up that character. :D --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 03:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * /suspect IPs >.< --Shadowcrest 02:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Eh? --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 03:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, taking a break from "cat fixing" (it really is not a fun task), but was able to get 139 "wanted categories" reduced down to just 75. There are more that can be fixed up, but there is always another day for those. :) --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 04:28, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing Peoples Userspace..
Before doing that, ask their permission. Many people consider it rude for somoen to walk up to their usepage and start making edits to it. Before editing somones userspace, ask them. -- Warwick (Talk ) (Contr. ) 23:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * When making general edits, spelling, grammer changes etc, then yes absolutely. Correcting categories is one of the few exceptions, along with fixing broken links are considered acceptable, so long as that is all the edit is for. I also, do leave a message on the user's talk page explaining the reasoning behind the change, so they not left wondering why. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 23:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
