User talk:Mendel/Controversy Guide

Never heard it. THK makes sense, why the P?-- 03:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never heard it either...[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  03:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never heard it either, but Jedi's comment when she created the page implies that she uses/hears it often. I'll add a delete tag to see if she or anyone else wants to defend it before getting rid of it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

 * KP may be a badly pronounced "Keep". PossessedLinebeck 21:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I know what it means, but I want to know if anybody is using it. If you can't find any hits on the forums either, chances are it's not used. --◄mendel► 21:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In terms of usage, No. Never seen it.PossessedLinebeck 22:06, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Never. --Shadowcrest  03:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also have only ever heard it referred to as THK. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   I~sk8   (T/C) 18:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope, i've never heard this either, always just THK, though this is european servers, maybe they feel the need to use unneccesarly long acronyms over on the american districts, though i doubt it--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 18:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * yes yes, i know i know, i was trying to provoke a response :P--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 18:49, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And you did. Good Job :P.  I thought you were trying to provoke controversy, insinuating that the wiki is European hah. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   I~sk8   (T/C) 18:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

That would have sufficed too - the wiki lacks controversy at the moment :P-- - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 18:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Exactly![[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Best watch out on that note. Auron might turn around and accept the nomination anyways >_> *hides in the corner now* -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  I~sk8   (T/C) 19:13, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Wuh'bout me? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:14, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Thankyou Entrea, you just rose immeasurably in my esteem, intentional reference or not, now excuse me while i choke on my laughter - and during the edit conflict interval isk8 also won some points :P--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 19:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, everyone knows THKP stands for Thunderhead Keep Prophecies, to distinguish it from it from THK in Factions and Nightfall ! -- -- ( talk ) 19:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not controversial nor trollish anymore tbh.. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Woot, I get points! Such a shame, this will probably be deleted as orphaned when the redirect is annihilated. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  I~sk8   (T/C) 19:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Mostly because of absence. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  19:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there's two options here: We let the redirect stay regardless of its usefulness, or we let Mendel adopt the talkpage.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * *places article in a basket with a note and sets it on Mendel's doorstep* -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  I~sk8   (T/C) 19:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Or, I forgot option 3: Pull an Evil Cow and keep the talk page with no article.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Phix link. Evil Cow is Evil, tbh. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, then again, Evil Cow has a reason to be there, which this doesn't. So we're back to options 1 and 2 again. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Entrea Sumatae (contribs) 19:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC).

CURE YOU, TILDES! Entrea   [Talk]  19:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if someone actually does the forum searches and posts about them here, I'm going to move the page to "GuildWiki Talk: Contoversy Guide" and try to get it into Category:Guides. That's probably going to achieve its end, too. --◄mendel► 21:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Both GWG and GWO are indexed by Google - if it's on either one of those, it would show up on a Google search. Since we've got no Google results, I guess we've got no evidence for this abbreviation.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 02:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

The point
What is it? &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  16:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's misspelled, that's what it is: should be contRoversy, unless mendel did that on purpose. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it was supposed to be snide humor, but it sort of missed. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 17:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Why this belongs in GuildWiki: space
Yes, i know, this article started from this talk, read it up above, it turned to controversy. But actually fleshing it out as I did - succinctly and to the point - it becomes a "don't pull this shit again" guide, ironic title notwithstanding. I think a more sedate style doesn't do the topic justice, i.e. the descriptions have to make it clear why that course of action is as good as a prescription for wikidrama, preferably in a way that makes you still feel some heat radiating off the page. --◄mendel► 01:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So the builds wipe was a bad thing? I'd have to disagree with you there. It was one of my favorite sections, yet even I understood that it had to go. - Auron 03:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it created a lot of conflict. So a warning "if you do stuff like this, you'll create lots of controversy" seems appropriate, even if "don't pull this shit again" is debatable. --◄mendel► 05:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I am personally glad that there are no builds on GuildWiki, they do create far too much trouble. As I understand it, there is currently a recurring troll/vandal on pvx as the result of some conflict on a build he submitted. I'm quite glad we don't have to deal with that here.

 * You mean the bluerask dude, Felix? I recall we had a recurring vandal once. I even got a userbox from Big B for my revert skillz! :P Oh, and it was rather fun talking to him. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  08:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
