Assassin tanks
Care to enlighten me on an assassin tank? It seems very oxymoronis, although not as much as an Invicimonk.--86.130.224.210 12:25, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
 * The assassins that think they're warriors. Run in there ahead of the warriors and aggro stuff, standing there thinking they can survive any sort of damage =) Ppl think melee class -> up front -> can survive damage, unfortunantly. Skuld  12:28, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

Stereotypes
heh, I enjoyed that. Very true.--The King Tarosian 04:56, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Thanks =) Skuld  07:25, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm actually quite fond of Mo/W for Bonetti's Defense, but hey. ^_^ -Nilles 07:49, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Ha ha yeah good one Skuld, very amusing and true, won't say how many of those I can tick though...! Just one thing you wrote: "...heasn't even heart of V's sacrifice..." which I think is a typo, unless you're saying that Necros can't spell :P --Xasxas256 08:08, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Made me laugh =) --Xeeron 07:47, 8 May 2006 (CDT)

Regarding My User Page
Seeing everything going on around here, know that I am not coming down on you in any way. I would, however, like my user page to not be edited by others. Feel free to post in my user talk to ask if I will add something. The first time I can understand with creating a new article, as I was new to wiki then (still no master at it yet). This second time, you should have asked if I wanted to be categorized for PvE users. 130.58 politely asked me in-game questions about what I do in-game, and I responded in kind. I would like to have that same respect regarding Wiki and my user page. Know that I'm not mad, I just wanted to convey to you how I felt about someone editing my user page. And yes, I know its hardly from finished. I should put a babelbox saying I am a permanent procrastinator. :P --Gares Redstorm 16:10, 9 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry! The intention was to remove it from the templates category, but meh :p Skuld  08:06, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
 * No worries. Keep up the good work. --Gares Redstorm 08:20, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

Armor redirects
Heya Skuld.

Could you please check User talk:PanSola and respond to the stuff about armor at the bottom?

Thanks!

PvE & PvP tag
sorry about screwing things up with the rename, i'm going through everyones game and making things right --Jamie 06:50, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

Nice user page
Nice work on your userpage! You just got your place back on my list. ;) --Gem 08:17, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Thanks =) Just need to fine some stuff to write on it now :p I think i'll redo my characters Skuld  08:20, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Sorry Skuld I'm not a fan of the new style, maybe with different colours but right now. =( --Jamie 08:52, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Can you suggest some different ones? I just took those from the overview colours we use everywhere Skuld  08:52, 11 May 2006 (CDT)
 * User:Jamie/Skuld not happy with those colours either... it really screws the wiki elements
 * The place I use to look for a specific color is here. Perhaps you can find the color you are looking for. --Gares Redstorm 09:09, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Tizzy's Spam Section
Hi, change yer status so I can spam u on gw plez? --Tizzy 11:50, 12 May 2006 (CDT)

Border Pics
Just in case you hadn't noticed, this guy has uploaded those types of pics again to Shen's Censure and Ziinfaun's Belief. I don't know if our rules allow it to be changed again (I think he/she's broken the rule and hasn't left anything on his talk page or on the discussion page for those two items). Anyway it's all very lame, just thought I'd give you the heads up, I'm going to bed now! --Xasxas256 11:00, 15 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Thanks, I don't know what the rules are >< Skuld  11:02, 15 May 2006 (CDT)

Do you go to school? O_O
just wondering --Jamie 09:16, 17 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I do Skuld  09:17, 17 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm amazed you have enough free time around your lessons to do the editing you do --Jamie 09:19, 17 May 2006 (CDT)
 * 2 lessons->break->2 lessons->lunch->1 lesson->home ^^ Skuld  09:21, 17 May 2006 (CDT)

Off-topic: You're probably aware but your info boxes are covering up the history of your page, so it hides parts of it, I notice you're into CSS & JS so possibly try to make it hideable-like a ToC, (easier said than done

Sorry about the redirects
I was under the incorrect impression that GuildWiki operated similarly to Wikipedia, which I used as a reference.

There are a few advantages of having a plural redirect. For example, Monastery Credits are automatically pluralized in-game if you have them stacked, thus it would allow users who entered that into the search box (as I had done) to automatically be directed to the intended location. Also, there were links to plural pages that didn't exist. I figured plural redirects could both easily fix plural linking errors as well as deal with future arising links to pluralizations of those same pages. Is there a better location to debate the merits of redirects? I am (obviously) quite new to contributing to GuildWiki, as well as its methodologies. (Any resources for contributing to GuildWiki would be helpful.)
 * Yeh,  -> Monastry Credits. Some redirects are useful, chapter 1, chapter one, campaign one etc Skuld   09:45, 17 May 2006 (CDT)


 * For debating it, go to GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting. -PanSola, Table of The Lyssa Advocacy Front (sing) 09:46, 17 May 2006 (CDT)

Editing build skillsets
Addressing your recent changes to W/E Shock Warrior. I've seen you doing this before: you simply swap skills for another leaving a short note about it in the talk. While that's not actually bad, please not that the build above has already been approved as it was! If you feel changes are neccessary to ensure the build is "great", please preserve the orginial setup in the variations section or simply add your idea to the variations. In my opinion, a Warrior doesn't neccessarily need an interrupt. In most cases, the Energy used is put to waste anyway. --Nilles 13:27, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

Grammar
Why are you moving articles with correct titles to one with lower case words after the first word? I thought we already resolved this issue in Talk:W/R Survival Tank. Its not proper grammar to change to the first letter to lower case. Others agreed and the facts are there if you reread it.

I don't mean to come down on you, but I'd like to see proper grammar in articles, titles, and anything else. If the grammar is sloppy or incorrect, who will believe the information is not up to the same standard, e.g. incorrect?

Don't go into college for an English degree. :P j/k --Gares Redstorm 07:52, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh, sorry didn't know Skuld  07:55, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * No problem. Like I said, I'm not trying to get on you, I'm just a perfectionist. --Gares Redstorm 07:59, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * You won't like what I did to all the collector weapons, armour quick references etc a few weeks ago >< Skuld  08:00, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Don't listen to him Skuld, you're the one who know how to write English, being English no? :) Actually I'm sure I've got something about this on my User Page, I wonder if it's still correct... --Xasxas256 08:05, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * anyone has better english than a lazy pre-gcse student :p Skuld  08:08, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Xasxas, you have a grammar mistake in your writing, its who knows. Hehe.
 * Skuld, you are a sneaky one. I can't search for them at this moment. I'm sure if they haven't been changed yet, they can wait another day or two.
 * If you don't want to read the Talk:W/R Survival Tank, here is my findings researching the subject...
 * According to | this site, which is linked from Use lower case, the last bulleted item states, "The first word and all the words in titles of books, articles, works of art, etc. excluding short prepositions, conjunctions, and articles. At looking at | the defintion of article, the heading of an article such as "Survival Tank" should have both words capitalized. Any affixes such as 'a', 'of', 'the', etc..not used at the beginning of the article should not be capitalized.
 * Its not a major problem, just something that people should be made aware of. --Gares Redstorm 08:15, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Mesmer and friends Skuld  08:19, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * We don't consider articles here to be articles for the sake of capitalization. See a zillion articles that aren't caps and prior crusades to make them that way.  I don't know what was decided about builds, but "Survival Tank" is a name for the build, so I assume that is why it's capitalized.  The skill locations pages and such should be lowercased.  --68.142.14.9 08:21, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Agreement! Use lower case explicitly warns against overzealous capitalization in article names. 149.9.0.25 08:27, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * OK fair enough I'm in a fun mood, I'll play along, who knows is a spelling mistake not a grammar mistake in my book. "I'm sure if they haven't been changed yet, they can wait another day or two. The comma is unnecessary in that sentence. Its needs an apostrophe and etc.. needs only one full stop. Isn't this fun Skuld, great practice for your GCSE :P Also *cough* I'm pretty sure "english" has a capital "E"...*cough* More seriously don't we just capitalise proper nouns? I remember a big discussion and vote on this somewhere, I might have to look at the old votes. --Xasxas256 08:31, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Here we go: Old_votes --Xasxas256 08:34, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * So you want to go against the rules of grammar for the sake that some people never actually knew the correct rules? "Survival Tank" is the name of an article, be it an Armor Quick Reference or what have you, they are all article names and thus, according to the rules of grammar, should be capitalized.
 * For those new to the Wiki that have voiced their opinion, welcome. And please read carefully, Use_lower_case and Use_lower_case. And yes, I know the example under "Summary" is lower case, except the title, but that again is wrong. Unless there is a person with an English degree or someone can prove my findings flawed, then I say it stands. Though it doesn't matter, there will always be people on here that will do what they want, we they want. You can't teach someone that doesn't want to learn.
 * Xasxas, I never said I was perfect in my grammar and/or spelling, or the so-called difference between the two terms. I did my research on capitalization and found what Wiki is doing to be wrong. Oh, and "captialise proper nouns", its a z, not a s. :P This is fun. --Gares Redstorm 08:47, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd also warn you of being careful about saying who is wrong based on wiki age. With 100% certainty, articles are supposed to be lowercased except for when the game uppercases them or as a phrase they'd normally be uppercased (in other words article titles are not in title case).  Also, S versus Z is British versush American English.  --68.142.14.9 08:54, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * It's capitalise you yank! :p Skuld  08:54, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I began to write a response but I took too long, so I'll just say that I wrote capitalise because I'm an Aussie and I know Skuld is English so he also uses Commonwealth English, hence capitalise. Armor Quick Reference according to my interpretation is not a proper noun it shouldn't be capitalised. --Xasxas256 09:01, 24 May 2006 (CDT)

Despite the aforementioned article, the proper format for the title of any article is "This is an Article for Trying to Understand How Capitalization Works." "Over zealous" capitalization is something like: "This Is An Article For Letting Everyone Know That I Don't Know How To Properly Format An Article." Being a writer (and majoring in writing/screenwriting), I know this to be correct. I'm also native english, whatever that means. Now for contents inside an article, that's a different story. If you're referring to a warrior as just a thing (e.g. Then there was a warrior that looks suspiciously evil), then by all means, don't capitalize it. But if you're referring to the class, as it usually the case here in GuildWiki, then capitalize it (e.g. He was a Warrior, armed with a sword and shield)!Jack 09:05, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * First, to 68.142, please do not threaten another user. You will not get far anywhere in life or make very many friends doing this. I made no assumption that those new to the Wiki were not as valuable as those that have been here since the beginning.
 * And after reading Old_votes, it states "I'd rather have a simple, 100% clear rule, even if it's not 100% according to proper English grammar sometimes." Its not 100% according to proper English grammar, but a vote was made and it should stand as such.
 * As to Amercian English standards vs. British English standards, yes that's the same as the difference between apples and oranges. Saying "armor" and "armour" is the same thing, as is "capitalize" and "capitalise". As Xasxas said, "fair enough I'm in a fun mood", as am I.
 * Shoot, I even date an English woman, so I have heard it all, "yanks", "bullocks", "daft", etc, etc. So our English difference is not a problem for me and she would kill me if it was :P --Gares Redstorm 09:23, 24 May 2006 (CDT)
