GuildWiki talk:In case of dispute, take plenty of screenshots

Moar to be added soon. -- Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 14:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The exact opposite of GW:AGF! --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 14:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * +1, no point to this. [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 14:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * exactly. Still, people say it all the time. I think GW:AGF needs some rethinking as well. I mean, evidently somone saying that they got a perfect elemental sword from a level 2 grawl is hard to believe, which is when this should be used. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 14:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hard to believe, yes. But don't automatically assume they're wrong. [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 14:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Even with GW:AGF I wouldnt believe them. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 14:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * If they say something really crazy like that, you don't agf. Imo, there's no need for a policy to get a frikkin screenshot O_o --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 14:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've seen you saying this before. ;) --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 14:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Guideline
Should be a guideline, not a rule! RT | Talk  14:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * True enough, i suppose. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 14:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the "In case of dispute..." is a good enough qualifier. It would need some rewording to not sound so...unfriendly...but I think this has become a general Wiki value. As such, making it a guideline is not a horrible idea. Kinda late though. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * True, i suppose, but yeah. Feel free to edit it, entropy- Its not userspace. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 16:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if it was in userspace, I could still edit it, since it would be moved to mainspace as a proposed policy anyways. But that's not the point. Anyway, I will try and work on this... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I didnt really put much throught into making it, i just thought of it as a guideline really. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 17:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice, Entropy! --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 17:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Tbh, after working on this, I think it could just be merged into the already-existing AGF. It honestly isn't that much different - this tells you when to AGF in a dispute and what to do about it. There is a section in AGF for "Exceptions". It could be changed to "How to deal with disputes" or something, and "Screenshot or it didn't happen" put there. I dunno. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I still think it'd be a good guideline to have, and its not really exactly the same. Its sort of like the Be Bold and YAV situation. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 17:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Needs To Be A Guideline
I agree that sometimes screenshots are needed in order to settle a dispute between the content of an article. However, basically making someone do it because it is against the rules if they do not, is a bit.... farfetched, if I do say so myself. If this was re-written and proposed as a guideline, I would be able to accept it; but I do not see the point in it being a policy. -- Shadowphoenix  17:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Meh, I don't really like it en whole. But as a guideline it'd be okay, as stated beneath header #2 and #3. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I read those, but no one recreated it as a guidline so I thought I would rez the discussion :D -- Shadowphoenix  17:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The bulk of this policy was written by me, and no one really complained or made changes after that so I never modified it. However, it is still "Proposed" (for months) so go ahead and change what you want. I don't remember writing that "basically making someone do it because it is against the rules if they do not", so I apologize if that was the impression. You don't force people to give screenshots, but it is one of the best proofs. Then again it is not infallible either. So...meh. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
