build copyvio
what does that mean? are builds copywrited now, or is this a policy related to the builds wipe?--Honorable Sarah 19:37, 7 May 2007 (CDT)


 * By United States law, all content produced by anyone anywhere is always copyrighted, but that's not really the problem here. The builds Auron and I have been deleting are those which did not copy over the article history, thus violating the attribution clause of our Creative Commons license. &mdash;Tanaric 04:25, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

reply from anet?
Have you got the reply from anet about the screenshots yet? -- Xeon 20:23, 7 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I got one saying they're looking into it, but they have yet to reach a decision. &mdash;Tanaric 04:27, 8 May 2007 (CDT)


 * still nothing from them? -- Xeon 00:19, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

Rabies Build Edits
Thanks for the edits to tidy up those build pages of mine. Never noticed the issue when I was furiously adding those pages on the 30th. How did you stumble upon those pages btw? Just curious... I never am able to find anything on people's userpages. Hopefully they are useful to you and not just an editing task :) — RabiesTurtle (contribs) 20:38, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I think it was just from Special:Recentchanges. You can search a particular user space via Special:Allpages. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 20:46, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Three of the updates he did were today, and no one had edited those pages for over a week... so not in recent changes. He might have searched just my userspace, but I was just seeing. — RabiesTurtle (contribs) 21:01, 7 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I'm using the old build categories, like Tested Builds. When you copied the articles over, you left the category tags in, and since I need to remove the tags as part of the builds wipe anyway, I might as well add pre tags where appropriate. &mdash;Tanaric 04:28, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmmm, That is odd... I thought I had removed all the categories. Plus your edits haven't shown any of those changes, and have only been on the talk pages.  Ah, did the talk page somehow have it as a category listing by the history I put? — RabiesTurtle (contribs) 09:53, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, yes, they did. Adding pre tags around the history pages prevented the categories from being considered. &mdash;Tanaric 12:43, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

Archiving
lol, you complained at fyren at his loooooooooooooooong talk page, yours is getting quite big too IMO. &mdash;Sig mA  10:53, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Not anymore :P Lord of all tyria 12:48, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

Auron
Why did you promote Auron? I would like to record a belated objection to his promotion. I am getting complaints about him all the way in my hiatus from the wiki. I would like to ask you to reconsider because he has always shown this kind of temperment and disrespect for others. He was even a member of the group that taunted the user, one of the offenses that cost Skuld his adminship. This one is a poor move from the get go. --Karlos 04:42, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Biro appointed Auron, not me. That said, I requested his appointment, so I'll still address your issues. I had noticed a marked improvement in Auron's behavior since his first RfA, and I'd begun to speak with him privately. I believe he possesses the qualities necessary to be a sysop. That said, I also agree that he's off to a shaky start. I am keeping a close eye on him, as I do all newly-appointed sysops; if he convinces me that he's unsuitable, I'll revoke sysop privileges immediately.


 * Since the Skuld issue, I'm determined to be more proactive in trying to shape a sysop instead of merely deciding they're unsuitable and removing them -- I did Skuld a great disservice, and I'm determined not to repeat myself.


 * &mdash;Tanaric 08:13, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I respectfuly disagree. I don't think you can teach someone to be kinder/more considerate if their nature is to disregard others. Skuld will be a great admin anywhere with time and experience, he is/was too young in my opinion. Auron is genuinely disrespectful of others. The way he addressed Sarah is extremely troubling to me. It shows a great amount of resentment/contempt for the value of Sarah as a contributor. And for him to say to her in her face shows a great amount of contempt for her person as well. Just a very troubling sign. --Karlos 08:24, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * You have a good point. That said, Xasxas, Gares, and I have admonished Auron about that particular situation on his talk page. If it occurs again, I'll have to adopt your stance, but until then, I'd like to retain him. Based on what I've seen so far, I think Auron merely dislikes User:Honorable Sarah, which I can completely understand (though I don't condone his expression of it) based on their diametrically opposed edits. &mdash;Tanaric 08:32, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * The secondary proffesion articles are just plain trouble. It's always someone's opinion vs the other which leads to arguements, and frankly the information is totally useless ;it's basically a state the obvious bunch of articles.

User:Frvwfr2/Team:Healer/Bonders
This page was deleted by you... It was not a copy of any builds. I had custom made it. Could you restore it please? Thanks. -- frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 07:29, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Done. Sorry about that! &mdash;Tanaric 08:14, 11 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Thanks for the speedy reply... --[[Image:User Frvwfr2 signature.jpg|User:Frvwfr2]] frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 08:22, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

Haha :P
The last line made me laugh :P &mdash;Sig mA  15:21, 23 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I strive for accuracy in all my edits. :) &mdash;Tanaric 15:22, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

Can you move the char/title templates into actual templates?
Hi Tanaric. I've been trying to use the /Character and /TitleList templates and it's been frankly horrific. There are a LOT of sub-pages on your user space that are inter-connected to the design. Each title has a subpage under the /Title tree and then there's good old NavFrame. Right now, it's like this wonderful utility that only works if you install it in:

c:\my documents\Tanaric\some wacky ideas\guild wars wiki\user character display

Not very user friendly. :P --Karlos 16:25, 24 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I don't mean to speak on Tanaric's behalf, but I believe he was planning to implement them as proper templates once he had them all finished.  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 16:32, 24 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Hmmm, I was under the impression he was done. Can we move it into the template space anyways, even if not all titles are supported yet. I think it's just cleaner to build it there. --Karlos 17:19, 24 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Done, though I did not move /Character, as I believe it's too user-specific. The title displayers and title list templates are all now in template-space. Check Displaying titles and Category:Title templates for more information.


 * If you want to use character, you must simply copy /Character, /NavFrame, and /Icon into your own user space. Alternatively, you can simply make redirects from User:Karlos/Character to User:Tanaric/Character etc.

Grand Court masters
You up for it? -Auron  00:14, 25 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Already got it. Getting a couple lightbringer ranks first made it ridiculously easy. &mdash;Tanaric 00:14, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Requesting another admin to review
Can you take a look at Tomb and the talk page? A DEL tag was added by Skuld, I removed it, then he re-inserted it. Rather than getting into a revert war, I wanted to ask someone else to review. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:08, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

Char picture on user page
Hi, I've been trying for a couple of hours to put a picture of my char on my talk page, without succeeding. Since I'm not english native speaker, there might be a few things I don't understand to make it troublelessly. You can find my first try on my talk page, and a pic on User:Fexghadi/Account, so if you don't mind explaining me how to join both, I'd be grateful. -- Fexghadi 11:50, 31 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I've fixed your user page. Things I did:
 * Created redirect from User:Fexghadi/Character to User:Tanaric/Character
 * Created redirect from User:Fexghadi/NavFrame to User:Tanaric/NavFrame
 * Created redirect from User:Fexghadi/Icon to User:Tanaric/Icon
 * On User:Fexghadi, changed 'class = m' to 'class = me', assuming you're a Mesmer. If that's a monk, change it to 'class = mo'
 * On User:Fexghadi, changed 'name = Character-Celes Chere V1' to 'name = Celes Chere V1'
 * On User:Fexghadi, changed the TitleList invocation to match the template. Notably, you don't need to include entries for title tracks based on other title tracks -- the template figures them out for you automatically.


 * If you have any more questions, please let me know. :)


 * &mdash;Tanaric 19:15, 31 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I changed it from me to mo for him. The character image shows a monk character. :P --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (gem / talk) 03:06, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Ok, now it worked... but still, I can't understand how, and I'm not just gonna disturb you everytime I'm making changes to that page, right?
 * Pleasure to see you back Gem ^_^ -- Fexghadi 03:29, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Thanks, Gem; you can see how often I play Guild Wars. :)


 * Fexghadi, the Character, NavFrame, and Icon templates are my personal creations. For you to use them, you need a copy in your own userspace. The redirects I created provide that for you.


 * As far as the TitleList template, you can see what parameters it takes at Template:TitleList.


 * You can ask me any questions you want, I certainly don't mind!


 * &mdash;Tanaric 04:15, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I'll give it a try this evening, when I'm back home, thx for thehelp already -- Fexghadi 05:20, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * What do you mean by 'welcome back'? I'm viewing the wiki every day multiple times. Well ok, I have to admit that I mainly contribute to the official wiki nowdays, but still. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (gem / talk) 16:45, 1 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Just look at your user page ^^ -- Fexghadi 17:42, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
