Hola
Hola.. I'm just poping in and saying that i got a Murakai's blade if you still wanna buy 1. i haven't been able to sell it ingame and then i saw your page.. so if you want it just let me know. Falafel 08:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Orly? That's great! I'm poor because I just bought my Dwarven armor set recently (and outfitted 5 more Heroes, huoh) but if you've got a reasonable price then I'm still willing to buy it. Thanks for letting me know! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yah, rly. i have no idea on the price of this sword.. but since i just wanna get rid of it you can have it rather cheap. 3-5 k, does that sound fair? Falafel 11:43, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Wishlist
I've got a req 8 14^50 Piercing axe lying around somewhere if you want it... >.> 76.174.13.77 12:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * She already has one. I'm not sure why it's still in the list.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 15:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Req8 max damage? Is it inscribable also? If it is req8 that is even more rare than the req9 I already got...I might still buy it. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I was just giving it to ya, but no it's non-insc, and 14^50. I didn't notice a single point of damage different swapping between it and a req 9 15^50 axe using Wild blow at 15 str and 12 axe mastery, so I don't think it really makes a difference, although cosmetic. (Note : Yes, max damage. Forgot to mention that. Only thing is 14^50 not 15^50)76.174.13.77 11:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Aww, that's too bad. Seeing as I want it precisely for the looks, and also for testing purposes, sorry but I'm not interested...you can merchant it :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

People who piss me off...
To quote this guy: " Well wiki states thats its very rare and they dont know where it drops from so i was lucky to get mine and know i wont tell anyone but the buyer where i got it from so dont pm me asking xD." From this PC thread - nevermind it's the playerbase which writes the articles and that it's not farmable in any case so no real harm in giving out the info. I was sorely tempted to post and flame him though that would have gotten me a ban from trading although the PM option of chastisement is still open.... Jennalee 15:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Auzzie Already I think his actions are rather foolish and immature, Never have I seen a person act with such malice without being a vandal or a prison number. Flechette 22:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Um, what's the issue here? Some rare drop or other crap like that? The guy's got every right to keep the info to himself if that's what he wants - don't worry, it would only last for a little while. Remember Charr Bag? I will check for GW:NPA violations, but other than that I don't think I can ban someone just for witholding information. (T/C) 23:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think they're talking about the same person, Flechette just forgot to create a new header :P --Macros 23:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I just didn't feel like making another header, as the current one was so, so fitting for my intentions = D. Flechette 23:22, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * ...Oh. Well it is confusing for me. Thanks for clarifying... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've banned him for a week. I really don't understand his change in actions and I hope he uses this time to reflect on what he has chosen to do. If that is the course Auzzie wishes to take for the rest of his Wiki career, then that's too bad...but I get the feeling that this was just a bad day for him. It's too big a change to make sense otherwise. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

@Jennalee - He's not really making fun of us or GWW either. He's right that we generally have some lag time between when something new is discovered and when it actually gets posted in the page. Meh. (T/C) 00:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * He's not making fun of GuildWiki but that gloating attitude of 'aha, I know something you don't and I'm not going to tell you unless you pay me!' is just rubbing me up the wrong way. Anyhow, what exactly did Auzzie do this time around? I'm his officer - disciplinary actions can be arranged ;) Jennalee 01:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Check his contribution history. Seemed to be having a really bad day and taking it out on GWiki...is he bipolar by any chance? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, just your typical jealous, immature teenage male. Anyhow, I thought that if everyone's attitude is not to contribute to this wiki if there's even the slightest hint of selfish benefit, nothing would get written :/ Jennalee 04:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't find any selfish benefit from contributing to the Wiki. He still needed a break anyway...an "attitude adjustment". If you want me to unblock him, then I can do that, but I can't Assume Good Faith when I see his contribs, even knowing his RL temperament. Sorry. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I'm confusing you a lil' - selfish benefit from not adding info was reference to the first guy I mentioned but yea, Auzzie can be a bit of a rulebreaker, unfortunately. Atm, though, our GLs seem to be MIA a bit but I'll see about speaking to someone about the behavior >.<

RfA
Just so you know, while you were off, I applied for an RFA. If you could vote, it would be much appreciated.-- (Talk) (Contr.) 23:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * OK [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

lol have you seen my contributions today? Obviously I have NOTHING to do right now (and my ADD is holding a gun to my head. help me! ) We're also gonna have to modify the S&F page slightly on the Related articles section, as I'm putting in pretty much everything that has to do with it there --Gimmethegepgun 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Huhwhat? What are you talking about? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Oh. Wow. Nice job :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So far gotten through all the prof-specific EotN skills and the war/ranger core skills. LOTS to go though --Gimmethegepgun 23:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So that's with you an all those skills in my watchlist...:P[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 23:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Why are you putting skills in watchlist? --Gimmethegepgun 23:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Would be really weird with all three of you nominating yourselves, but if you think you're worth it...why not? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We should've agreed to do it together, nominating each other:P[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 00:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll nominate you. Lord Belar 00:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

If you still have nothing to do, help me add the new unique item templates to all the unique item pages! By the way, I'm breaking a LOT of pictures with this new template, so fixing help is also appreciated!  Entrea Sumatae 00:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm actually just cleaning up all the new pages you're adding to the deletion queue :P [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I now declare today Wiki Improvement Day! --Gimmethegepgun 00:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Phew, 3 categories. Time for food! [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae 00:51, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That template needs a slight color rework - I find it to be too bright. Can we get it to match the color of Unique items, perhaps? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Specifically, Image:Green.JPG. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I tried to. If you want, find a color on wikipedia and copy the hex code, replace it and test to see if its better. Thats the best I could find, though. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae 00:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I think that's better. Thanks for all the hard work btw :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a little darker is better. And no problem, making the wiki better is fun. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae 01:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You know what, I think ALL the weapon and shield templates could be merged into one larger "Master Template". It would have a required field, "Type = ", and that would be filled in with Shield, Focus/Offhand, Wand, Bow...etc. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And then go through and edit them all, AGAIN?? LOL, ur funny, Entropy, almost as funny as me. Almost.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 01:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

WHOO, boy, that was a LOT of edits. Third of the way through focuses, and I'm taking a break. 220-ish out of 660-ish, 1/3 done! Yay!  Entrea Sumatae 01:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This is one of those times I like GWW. There we get the infobox right the first time. We take days discussing how to make it, but we get it right :P I'll look for the color BTW[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 02:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna take a rest too. I'm hungry, my left arm is half paralyzed (Meningitis shot today) and I've gotten through the EotN skills and the Core skills (which took 6 hours, minus the break I took and watched some Sabres hockey) --Gimmethegepgun 02:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Color hex confirmed with photoshop and applied to the template ;)[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 02:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The template needs to have a nocats ability added so it can be properly used with userpages and can have items that start with "The" to be listed properly with something like  --Gimmethegepgun 02:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Hammer's are done and all broken pics are reuploaded, though the orphaned previous pics do not have delete tags on them.--igathrash Talk^Cont 02:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't really know what nocats is, I just copied the normal weapon template, took off salvage items, and changed the colors and words. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae 03:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * nocats means that you put in a line that takes the value of "nocats". If nocats is yes, then you exclude the categories so it won't automatically put them in. Look here for its use --Gimmethegepgun 03:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, fixing those broken images was a pain in the ass. I got my fair share for today.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 04:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, added an image check step to project page, and I'm pretty sure that the only auto-category that template puts on is the PvP reward category. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]] <font color="#4682b4"> Entrea Sumatae 05:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I copied the templates almost exactly from the ones I had up here (except the color) so the only auto-category is PvP reward type. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]] <font color="#4682b4"> Entrea Sumatae 05:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Instead of reuploading, you could just add the line | image1 = <inset name here w/o the .jpg> line to the table and it'll use the image under the current name. The template always looks for default name which is like, [[Image:.jpg]] although they really should be named to default if there's just one pic <_< Jennalee 05:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

It's good to have the pictures use a standard naming convention anyway. Killing two birds with... well... 659 stones. (WAY too many uniques) <font color="#4682b4"> Entrea Sumatae  05:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well it's variety and gives greens collectors something to do :P Jennalee 05:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, since we all seem to be in the improvement mood - how about you help me with the project to improve the collector/weaponsmith quick access links for professions? I wish to standardize the way the tables for caster and melee professions, add missing NF and GW:EN entries and make them sortable. How they should be organised though for caster stuff is debatable <_< Jennalee 05:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice work everyone, I'm impressed at how much people can get done even with most of our old big-time improvers gone. Marcopolo - the amount of work doesn't matter as long as you get someone else to do it...as PanSola says :) Like Ereanor points out, at GWW they have a nice standard template that won't ever need to be revised, I give them props for that at least. We've got a working system for the time being but eventually I imagine that it would need to be integrated. Yeah it's a lot of work, but, we could have prevented it way early... (T/C) 01:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * GW:EN Warrior Collector items - do you think I should cull the inscriptions column for the shields and also the level 1 note after dungeons and just leave a note about it at the top since the information is all the same or would it just be more confusing that way? >.< my sandbox Jennalee 14:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering
but who has the power to grant administrator status, and how long does the process usually take?-- (Talk) (Contr.) 00:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Check GW:ADMIN, I think Gravewit and LordBiro are the only bureaucrats now. It can take a very short time if said people are actively checking Wiki and RfA's, but sometimes it can take a long time. The time from my nomination to actually being an admin was a week or longer, iirc [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Sig
Speaking of broken sigs, for some reason your sig doesn't seem to be working right Entropy. Instead of showing the picture, for me at least, it's just showing the link Image:Entropy Sig.jpg. However, for no apparent reason, when I search for the word "image" with Firefox's Find, it doesn't highlight it --Gimmethegepgun 02:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I haven't changed my sig for a really long time, so I dunno what you mean. My signature with four tildes ends up being

(T/C) (time date etc)

...so I do not know why you get an extra ":". (T/C) 02:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It's fine for me. I'm using the latest version of Firefox, no add ons --[[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 02:07, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When I put in the colon, was just using it to show that it says the text rather than the picture. The code says  like its supposed to, but what it looks like in the return would indicate that it's typed , rather than showing the image itself --Gimmethegepgun 02:07, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh...well, I can't really help you with that, since everything is fine on my end. Sorry. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:09, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A couple pictures: This one shows what I see on the page, and this one shows what the code looks like with that message --Gimmethegepgun 02:16, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What OS and browser are you running? That's weird... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * XP, Firefox. Normally works fine, just for some reason it's weird now. Also, it seems that the only picture affected is yours, I still see stuff like weapon images and skill icons just fine --Gimmethegepgun 02:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's odd, because that's exactly what I run, and it works fine. Have you installed any firefox addons recently? Lord Belar 02:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you goto the image itself is there anything strange going on there? Perhaps a corrupted cache error? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It just says the link to your picture (no picture shown) and when I click the link it says file not found. Post picture in a min --Gimmethegepgun 02:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Corrupted cache error, then. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Ctrl+F5 while on a page with her sig on it should force it to redownload the pic. Give that a shot, if it's still causing you problems. [[Image:Bigrat2sAvatar.jpg]] <font color=#00BFFF>Bigrat2  <font color=#1E90FF>Talk  07:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Revert Question
You probably know this, so I'll ask. How do you revert to the last edit? I can't seem to find a button anywhere, and there must be, because people can unvandalize a lot faster than copying an old page would take... <font color="#4682b4"> Entrea Sumatae 05:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
