In the year 2010
Well, welcome to 2010 (for you slow coaches, hurry up out of 2009, quit living in the past mannn). I'm not going to F1 you and give you all messages, you'll probably find me annoying. So, happy new year if you watch my talk, and if you don't - why not, it's not like it ever gets edited. Here's hoping for more than 1.5 archives in 2010  Random  Time   11:29, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Image double redirects
If you're going to "fix" those image double redirects, you also need to fix every page that uses those images. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 15:15, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * It always does, since it ignores grammar :) Dutch and English grammar are quite different. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  11:53, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the "he is" thing (about him being Dutch) isn't said in Dutch, for one.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 11:55, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) I don't know what the literal translation of "Lol, je moet een paar kopjes omhoog" is, but "Lol, you need a few cups up." is blatantly a mistranslation (as it doesn't make any sense in English)  Random  Time   11:57, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Kopjes" translates to "Headers" => "You need to look a few headers up". Which still sounds awkward, if you ask me. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  12:03, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * EC. Also, shouldn't it be "You need to look up a few headers" for it to be grammatically correct? --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 12:05, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It would probably be better as, "You need to scroll up a few headers" or "You need to read the message a few headers up"   Random  Time   12:06, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi.

What's your favourite one of all your edits on GuildWiki?

Just wondered. A F K When Needed 22:40, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

10,000th edit!
This is is my 10,000th registered edit to Gwiki (excluding deleted edits) - the time is currently 1337 in the UK, coincidence? I THINK NOT! Random Time  12:37, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Doh, and I just ruined it by deleting a page you made an edit to. On the other hand, this allows you to make a SECOND 10k edit!  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 13:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

I thought that was just a subset of the complete #rc that got throughthe "this might be spam" filter? -- ◄mendel► 00:30, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it may well be actually. /doh. However, I couldn't access #rc via the link - which I assumed to mean it was now no longer used Randomtime 06:28, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

GW2 forum split
I'd been thinking of doing that myself, so cheers. One thing I would've done differently is to just make the main page an index of links to the sub-pages, instead of including all of them - while that does solve the problem of bloat while editing, it doesn't really help with the bloat while reading. But I guess it doesn't really matter, I'll be reading it all by diffs so I'll never have a need to look at the whole thing anyway. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:27, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I considered doing that, but I went against it as some may want to read the forum like that - reading by diffs solves the problem for people who want to just read a thread, as you said. It was edit bloat that made me do it, as navigation through headers seems fine. <font color="Orange">Random <font color="Red">Time  20:31, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

DISPLAYTITLE
It can only change capitalization and space/underscore usage, which means it really has very limited uses: on NieA_7 to force display of the underscore, and on iPod to change the capitalization. Not much use for that on this wiki. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 22:07, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know - I was using it to test how it worked due to a question on #wikia, and read the docs soon after. Needs $wgRestrictDisplayTitle to be false for it to be useful for the question in hand.  Random  Time   23:45, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re:edits on Nine rings
Yo, the calculations on nine rings is wrong. It has to calculate the net profit from each circle, since you pay 10 tickets win or lose each prize isn't 55,40,25 its 45,30,15 which changes all the numbers of which circle provides the most benefit.. lol why did you revert my update? If you still disagree then leave it but at least give it some thought. :P
 * Bah, sorry, brainfart - saw a large removal of text, and didn't check the numbers before I clicked revert, I'll read through the edit more throughly in the future, you have my apologies. --  Random  Time   16:10, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aaah, I see your logic now. Lucky points for "tickets won" include the number of tickets that you "lost" for entering the game. So a win in the centre would be a win, in the title sense, of 25 tickets, even though the actual gain in tickets is only 15. If your edit took this into account, and I failed to see something else you were pointing out, please add it back in. --  Random  Time   16:14, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the anon failed to subtract the cost of the tickets from a loss, giving -10 instead of 0; if he had, the whole table would have had the same outcome (net loss is 1/18 per ticket), but be more complicated: -- ◄mendel► 16:54, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aah, that was it. I was looking for something else that would have made the table make sense with those calculations. Mendel, you're a genius --  Random  Time   17:10, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

The fastest deleter in the west!
Awesome, thank you. I had barely gotten the delete tags on when... presto! &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:10, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It came up on the #cvn-wikia channel. Which I have highlight all supicious edits to guildwars.wikia.com. The edit summary "delete" flags it in #cvn-wikia, meaning I got an IRC ping for all of the edits. Result: You get your deletion lightning fast. --  Random  Time   00:12, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

User_talk:Josh5813. Please do explain your blocks, especially when you see the poster has been trying to help the wiki (however misguided) and feels righteous anger. -- ◄mendel► 08:25, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, it was good of you to notice yourself that your block length was a bit off. ;) And it was also well done of you to handle that, because that way Dr Ishmael was able to stay out and avoid any appearance of personal issues being involved. -- ◄mendel► 08:45, July 15, 2010 (UTC) & 10:17, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Also, [ this] shouldn't have been a rollback, since it wasn't outright vandalism. (The user may have had the misguided impression that the software inserted a quote of the previous posts, like some webforum software does.) The comment posted in John7777's edit is not vandalistic, and should have been kept on the page (I restored it and replied). Removing comments of others is highly inflammatory and may have contributed to Josh's outbreak of anger that followed. -- ◄mendel► 08:30, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
