Old talk stuff.

Deletions
I went through and deleted the obvious (read: easy) stuff. Most of the rest are empty pages but pages that should exist. I'll go through and stub them later, if no one has already. A few are questionable and probably shouldn't exist, but I didn't want to just go delete them. --Fyren 03:41, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)

Congrats on the sysop :) 22:31, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)

check this [green numbers range-template]

You deleted Green Hills County today. Deletion log says because of "Emptiness". I can't believe it was really empty. Was it? Please check and restore the article in case this was a mistake. --Tetris L 03:26, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I can vouch that Green Hills County was empty as I'm the one who marked it. --Rainith 03:37, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Yup. In its long life from June 17 till today, it never had anything in it but categories and a stub template (and the delete template).  --Fyren 03:55, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)

Most recent spam
I went through the warrior, monk, etc. categories and removed the stuff miscategorized. I bumped recently edited talk pages above (though, two were my edits to begin with... didn't mean to just bump my stuff) so they'd be more visible. There's probably more de-categorization to do. --Fyren 12:08, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * And we love you for it. :) &mdash;Tanaric 15:43, 16 Aug 2005 (EST)

Went through the NPC, locations, and skills categories. --Fyren 14:49, 19 Aug 2005 (EST)

Signatures
Um just a quick question: how come you (and others) have the date automatically appear after your posts? is there like some signature option i cant find, or is it coz you guys are sysops? - Crusty
 * In the toolbar above the editbox there's a "signature" button. That's many users use.  --Fyren 10:49, 16 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Ah rightio, the old quadruple tilde ... cheers ;) - Crusty 16:31, 16 Aug 2005 (EST)

Limiting the Mathematician
I would like to place a request to the moderators (not sure if this is the right way, so, Fyren, please move it if it is not): I would like a hard number to be placed on the number of edits that Ollj can make per day. Here are my reasons: As such, I believe the content he is putting is inferior in quality and it is making using/editing for others less easy as they try to track articles in a jungle of green number edits. I also believe a hard limit on the number of edits he can do per 24 hours (like 30 edits a day or so), will force him to first of all use the Preview button and the Sandbox and then to verify his info more accurately. Thanks. --Karlos 14:49, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * 1) He is not responsible with his edits. He edits the same page 5 times just to add a new sentence. He has already been introduced to the "Preview" button and the "Sandbox" and he continues still to make 6 edits just to add one paragraph.
 * 2) His information is incorrect/incomplete many times. For the past month he has been editing and re-editing and hashing and re-hashing furiously the hundreds of "green number" pages he has created. Everytime he thinks he figured out how 3...18 works, he finds a new special case, so he goes and makes a 3...18m page and a 3...18f page and a 3...19 page and so forth.
 * 3) He is spamming the recent changes list with these massive edits. At times even looking at the past 500 edits is not enough to get me past all the edits he did in one night.
 * I'd like to second Karlos' suggestion. I know I'm not as big a contributer here, but it can get very tiresome to wade thru all the green number edits in the recent changes log.  --Rainith 15:06, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I'm not the guy to ask. I started working on the wiki, one day Biro mentions he's asking Gravewit to promote some people, and then suddenly I'm an admin.  (Just being an "admin" doesn't mean much for MediaWiki; I can delete, undelete, protect, and edit protected pages, and also completely block users/IPs, and a couple other little things.)  I agree with your assessment of his work, though (horrible English, too many edits, math that might be correct but ignores relevant issues/the actual game).  I guess Gravewit's the one that needs to be contacted, but I've never spoken with him and don't know if he pays attention to his user page.  Martin and Biro might be able to, but they don't seem to be around as of late.  --Fyren 15:43, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * hehe hes just pissed because i put most of my ranges pages on !!! So im already one step ahead. And im just adding more to the wiki than you understand. --Ollj 16:55, 18 Aug 2005 (EST) anyways karlos is overexaggerating.
 * No, Ollj, you actually are on thin ice. Nearly everyone here agrees with Karlos.  The only reason I haven't banned you yet is that you do add useful information, even in its entirely useless form.  I have typed your name on the ban page quite a few times, only to decide not to hit the "ban" button.  It's serious, and you should treat it as such. Back on topic, Karlos, I don't believe there exists a method for limiting the number of edits Ollj makes without changing the source itself.  As such, he'll continue as he chooses until he aggrevates a sysop enough to ban him or until the users themselves get together and request that we ban him--there is no process for such a thing in place, but I'm sure we could work it out ad-hoc.  &mdash;Tanaric 17:54, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * For the record Ollj, I never check what you are doing with those 3..18 pages. And for you to brag that after spamming our changes list with hundreds of entries and altering the content of dozens of pages to link to those pages, that they were actually useless is mind-boggling for me. Go ahead, knock yourself out. You are only digging yourself a deeper hole. --Karlos 18:58, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)

Whee
Due to impending natural disaster, I may not be around for a while. With luck, it won't be long. --Fyren 05:24, 26 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Ouch. Florida resident, I presume? Good luck with that. --Talrath Stormcrush 05:35, 26 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * Yup. No power for like 29+ hours, but pretty much okay besides that.  --Fyren 16:29, 27 Aug 2005 (EST)

wikipedia
I have no idea where to post about this because there isn't exactly a forum here, but Guild Wars doesn't have a Wikipedia page! It has it's own Wiki, but no Wikipedia page, this is an outrage to common decency. Anyway that page would be an ideal place to link to the site. --Koorb 22:07, 9 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * It does have one, and there is a link to this wiki there (added it myself a while ago). Guild Wars.  --Fyren 12:22, 10 Sep 2005 (EST)

Suspicious dude
Hey Fyren.. Check out what the user 81.242.155.70 did on the Skill Quests page and see if actions needs to be taken. Thanks. --Karlos 14:08, 10 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * When people have reverted their own "vandalism" I haven't been blocking their write access. --Fyren 17:51, 10 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Fine by me. Thanks for checking. --Karlos 19:05, 10 Sep 2005 (EST)
