From POE?
Anyway, welcome. --Fyren 14:33, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * Yes, from PoE, and thanks for the welcome. Dare I ask who you might happen to be on PoE? PurpleXVI 14:34, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * A lurker. I posted in the GW forum on POE-N a few times but only a handful of other posts over a few years.  --Fyren 15:02, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * Ah well, quite a surprise to be recognized, I'm just glad it wasn't a bad thing to see me here. Mostly I was just browsing the articles, but I saw a few things that could use minor edits and figured it might be interesting to see what I could contribute. Are there any lists of things that need fixing, editing, cleaning up, etc. like there is on the Wikipedia? PurpleXVI 15:04, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * If you like taking screenshots, there's Category:Image/update needed, Armor galleries project, and Monster images project. There's Category:Pages that need updating and Category:Preliminary C3 data that need looking over because info may have (but probably hasn't) changed due to an update or Nightfall's release.  Category:Cleanup for pages with formatting or organizational problems.  Then Category:Research needed that's more like "category:someone has a question or info is missing."  The bane of all these categories is people placing pages into them and not saying why.  --Fyren 15:18, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * I like taking screenshots, I was up to something approaching 3000 within the four first months of Prophecies being released. However, I think the others may be slightly more my sort of thing. Thanks for the links, I shall see if there is any way to make myself useful. PurpleXVI 15:24, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * Someone ought to wipe all those categories and start over, I'm finding that most of them are either already dealt with as far as I can see(Just not untagged), haven't been looked at since six months ago or so, or there's just no hint at all as to why someone added a cleanup/update tag.

 * If they're dealt with, just remove the tags. The effort to check them is probably worth it to make sure yet more pages don't slip through the cracks.  A lot of pages that don't often get viewed end up outdated.  --Fyren 16:27, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * Alright then, I wasn't sure if the tags were for admins and mods only to add or remove, so I left them alone, but now I went through the entire "Needs Updating" list and pruned it a bit. Updated the few that needed it, and cleared the "needs updating" tag for the ones that were already updated. PurpleXVI 09:30, 19 December 2006 (CST)
