E/any Dual Attunement Nuker
if you look at the talk page of that build, you'll see it has been deleted once before. please be sure your new build can stand to the pre-existing comments. --Honorable Sarah 13:45, 22 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Yeah, I noticed that after I posted the article. I'm pretty sure my build can stand to those comments, though - it's not for AB, I don't use Mark of Rodgort, and it's sufficiently different from the Heavy Nuker (IMO).  Dr ishmael 13:54, 22 August 2006 (CDT)

Editing
Hi. When editing your user page, please use the 'minor edit' check box. Also, you might want to use the 'Show preview' button more often. -- (talk) 19:41, 25 August 2006 (CDT)

Signature
Just looking at your signature bit in your sandbox. I've just been playing around with mine. You know you can put the bit in the "Signature" bit of your preferences, then just use ~, which will add the date automatically? You probably already know but just in case, will save you some time on talk pages :) —Biscuits (talk contribs) 11:26, 21 November 2006 (CST)


 * I had wondered about that. Thanks for the tip. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] (talk|contribs) 11:41, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Category:Collectors format standardization campaign
While doing research for my User:Dr ishmael/Collectable trading article, I noticed that a lot of the collector and collectable drops pages had inconsistencies and even errors in both their content and formatting. I corrected some of these, but only where it was obvious; I know there are still a lot of problems.

Since the collectors already have a style guide, I'm going to work on them first - I plan to find them all in-game and verify all their info, as well, since I already noticed a few that were incorrect. When that's done, I'll write a style guide for collectable drops (adding it to the Items style guide) and work them over as well. &mdash;Dr Ishmael (talk|contribs) 12:10, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * Cheers, and you work too hard. :) Entropy 15:45, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Clarifying 1RV misunderstanding
"Reverting" a page is to restore it to its previous state. Therefore, if you make a new change to a text, and this change is reverted, it does not constitute a breach of the 1RV policy. mikkel 15:04, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Right: If you find your edit was reverted, take your case to the article's talk page. (from GW:1RV) You made the revert, so I can't revert back.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] (talk|contribs) 15:30, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

Vanquisher
Hi, on the vanquisher page, stating that you are 'completing' a quest seems redundant since that tab is only for quests that affect the number of enemies... hence while the quest is active and whether or not you are completing it. It should be in a similar format as all the other quests. Rcollins779x 18:32, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Greetings. I noticed you reverted a change someone made on the Vanquisher page regarding Bukdek Byway. Whoever changed this to one is correct. If you have both The Drunken Master and Chasing Zenmai active, all you need to do to vanquish this zone is to defeat the Drunken Master. I have verified this, as it is how I vanquisher Bukdek. -- Ale 13:19, 30 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Oh, I get it now. The way they made the edit didn't make any sense because they didn't make it link correctly to the quests.  I'd forgotten about the "The Drunken Master" quest, and thought they were just being funny making it say "Zenmai and Drunken Master".
 * Still, as that is a special case, it should be mentioned in a footnote like the one for Zen Daijun. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:26, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree, a footnote is probably best, but your Summary note said "Huh?" so I wasn't sure if you knew about the special case. Cheers. --[[Image:Flask_Of_Firewater_small.jpg]] Ale 18:08, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

Sortability at Collecting for fun and profit
Please see my response at that talk page, and thank you for commenting. 15:42, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

EotN and Collectors
I was wondering if you were working on another section to the "Collecting for fun and profit", for EotN collectors. Since all of EotN is "L20 high end campaign", all the collector items are by default maxed. However, I was not sure if any/all gave profit for collecting (since I don't actually have it yet >.>)...no unique collectables other than the Armors are available, so for me the only reason I have to keep and collect EotN drops is if I can make some cash profit. Otherwise I would just trade in stuff from other campaigns, since that's easier... (T/C) 00:43, 16 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Nope, Anet made sure there was absolutely no profit in collectibles this time. All collectibles are worth at least 20g to the merchant, all collectors want at least 5 of an item, and all collector items are only worth 100g.  The best you can do is break even.  Unless some odd item like Aged Dwarven Ale has a really high market value for some reason, there won't be an EotN section to that article.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 11:43, 16 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Aww, damn. Well thanks for checking. I can finally go sell off all those collectable drops I got in the Sneak Preview Weekend. >.> (except for Superb Charr Carving, lol) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:45, 16 September 2007 (CDT)

Interwikis
Hello. GuildWiki has recently updated its interwiki map. This means that w: now points to Wikia instead of to Wikipedia. You have one of these links on your user page. You can change it to point at Wikipedia by changing the w: to wikipedia:. Angela 07:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Just want to thank you for the effort you put into the weapon QRs. Unfortunately, the only thing I have to offer in appreciation is Lyssa's Cookie of Bemusement. Even though what you didn't isn't funny at all (in fact, it's very serious), I hope you'd accept a cookie as a token of my appreciation. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 19:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Considering how I have absolutely nothing to do at work right now - and may not for a while, we've been slow all month - my brain was eventually going to melt out my ears anyway. It was either do this or keep playing Free Rice all day, and I think I've donated enough rice already this month...  Anyway, thanks for the cookie!  I made a userbox for it. :D  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to say that you've been doing more work lately than the rest of us combined. Thank you. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
