 * Perhaps instead of spamming, one could contribute somewhere else in a constructive manner? If you want to spam firsts and wtfs, go to PvX - I hear they're somewhat specialised in that area. Alternatively, use an instant messenger or better yet, the irc channel. Spam doesn't belong on the wiki, whether it be in the mainspace or userspace. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]]  Phalange  18:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Except it wastes time, nullifies recent changes and diverts people away from doing something constructive (i.e. mainspace edits, constructive discussion). It's part of why GuildWiki has regressed into what it is now. Playing Mafia here is another thing, but I'll leave that for another time. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  18:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * First post linking to a dictionary. If Maui fnds it annoying then it is spam, otherwise it is just good fun.  Try not take things like this seriously :) -- Shadowphoenix  18:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Maui's point was that you are telling us to, in paraphrase, "stop spamming and start editing mainspace!" You yourself have only 2 mainspace edits.  I think the conclusion should be obvious. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgive me for not reading your urban dictionary (which is hardly ever literally correct), but, as I said, this "fun" doesn't belong on a wiki. Are you telling me not to take seriously something that ruins the maintainability of a wiki (i.e. recent changes) for hours? Something that takes most of the userbase online at that time away from actual, constructive edits? As I said, there are better and less annoying alternatives to spamming on a wiki. I'm surprised, Shadowphoenix, that you don't think this wiki "is a joke" what with GuildWiki regressing ever quicker into PvX. I seem to be the only person on this side of an argument, and I find it generally doesn't succeed when the other side is the loudest, regardless of how right an argument is.
 * Dr ismael, one doesn't need to actively edit the mainspace in order to be constructive -- discussion generally helps things too. There were a couple of things, yes, that I did that perhaps weren't the most constructive, but I will gladly agree to that; I won't defend something that was wrong. However, I have always said that if I am doing something unconstructive, give me a warning or a ban. Auron did that, so I know where to stop and you can guarantee my non-constructiveness to not appear again.
 * Toodles. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  18:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Phalange, there's also the fact that were you to ask us to stop many hours ago, when RC was being well and truly clogged by "first posts," it would have been a reasonable request. However, there had been no more than, what, three? two recent posts, and very staggered at that, before you told them to stop.  In addition, look at RC: it's being clogged by my mainspace edits, not talkpage edits.  Sure, they're not life-threateningly important edits, but they're attempting to return a uniform look to the boss pages...  and in the process, taking up far more room in the Recent Changes than the odd "first post." [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 18:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * R, the anarchy that is PvX is not anywhere near Gwiki. PvX is a troll riddled place that is full of "fuck you"'s and NPA violations, that hasnt happened here yet (I do admit that PvX is getting a bit better, however).  Also Maui said what I was going to say so no need to repeat it.  -- Shadowphoenix  19:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again with that annoying orange box (and this will be my last response for now), but when an event occurs and no opposition arises to that event (regardless of when it was), one generally assumes that event is passable. Perhaps I intended to stop this from happening in future, with a message and an argument as to why it's a bad thing. I'll leave you to go back to your edits now (regardless of size, they're constructive).
 * Shadowphoenix, PvX is hardly an anarchy what with Auron and Defiant Elements at the helm; however, that's not my point. In its earlier times, PvX was probably how GuildWiki is now. Talk page spam, distractions, yet still generally constructive in terms of build additions (and lots of room for improvement). There probably wasn't any vocal opposition, so people thought that was ok. Then we go further down that slippery slope into what it is now. Excuse me for thinking this, but I don't want GuildWiki to become anything PvX is at the moment (or before the threat of permabans on trolls). Sure, there are attempts by the admin base to reduce the spam and trolling, but they might not be too successful when the main userbase continues to think their antics are ok. As I said, it takes an argument against that to actually get those people to realise that what they are doing is not ok and has long term effects. I might not be entirely correct in my vision of PvX's early politics, but as I said -- things are progressive. They usually start somewhere and regress. -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  19:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Revert war on Legendary Sword
Hi, I know this was yesterday, but apparently this is still an issue. Don't engage in a revert war, even if you think the information entered is false. If your undo is reverted itself, leave it be -- contact the person reverting (i.e. the one repeatedly putting in said false information) and/or discuss on the relevant talk page. If that person continues, try to keep discussing or simply wait it out. Toodles, from your friendly neighbourhood do-goody, -- R  Phalange  20:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Phalange. I realize the existence of 1RV, but (at least in my wiki tenure) nobody has made an issue over 1RV'ing vandalism.  At least, until this mendel/Auron thing. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 23:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The issue is not the GW:1RV, the issue is GW:AGF vs. vandalism. --mendel 07:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, I want to keep this off the Auron pages, they're cluttered enough as it is, so I'm posting here. The interested reader is advised to consult User_talk:M.mendel/Auron and User_talk:Auron_of_Neon/Archive_12.

Maui, Rukias and Felix did a good job in getting the price off the page which the anon wanted to see added. Why then do I come across as defending the anon and critical of the "wiki defenders"? Because I believe with authority comes responsibility, and that means scrutiny. It's a lot of fun to be uncivilized, and a lot of fun to fight, but not necessarily for the person at the other end.

Assume for a moment, if you will, good faith. Assume a user who's new to the wiki and wants to add a price that he feels is missing. What's the likelyhood of that? Not high, but I believe it is a possibility. As I said, let's assume good faith. Will the user know GW:1RV? Likely not. Will the user read his "new messages"? He's not likely to know that they can pertain to his edits; when I am using a webforum I usually ignore incoming PMs until I'm done with whatever I'm concentrating on. Even if he did, what does he see? A user telling him off. Does he need to accept the authority of a user? No. So Mr "the Price is right" stubbornly defends his "right" to add a price to the article.

Is it worth appeasing this guy? Yes; he's found the wiki, he's made the step from reading/lurking to editing; if he can be gotten to read some of the relevant policies and abide by them, he's going to be an asset. Well, maybe he just wants to pull a scam; but even then he can become a good editor in due time.

So what is our aim? We want the price off the page, and we want the user to know we have a reason for that. To make the latter easier in the future, I've added the GW:PRICE shortcut that redirects into GW:Article Retention (GW:AR); if Rukias had linked that on the talkpage he'd have spoken with policy authority, not just with a single user opinion.

If after that the anon keeps reverting, it is simple to put a link to GW:1RV on the page and the Template:Ban. Let's do that quickly. The ban threat alone may make the anon stop, and no further action need then be taken. If there is, depending on the situation, would a 1-hour ban be enough to give the user a chance to read up on the policies? Remember, he may not even have read his messages.

In short, I'm glad there are editors who do RC patrol, and I'm glad they help the wiki. I'm just wishing that you can be both fun and friendly, because the day will come when the guy or gal on the other end deserves that good faith - it has happened, and it will happen again.

I'll strive to do the same when I check RC - except that usually it's squeaky clean already because of the good job you do. Thanks! --◄mendel► 23:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The problem is that almost always, the posted price is way above market and that the guy is most likely ingame saying "Check guildwiki, its totally worth that much".[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  23:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He isn't saying don't revert it, he's saying revert as much as needed (at least in my interpretation), so long as you politely inform the user the reason why it was reverted. He is preaching good practice, not scolding revert wars or assume good faith violations. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, basically that's it. Informing the user that (s)he's breaking policy backs you (and your reverts) up with community authority - otherwise, it appears as if you're just speaking for yourself. GW:PRICE is short enough to slam it into the summary of every revert if you want to. Take that, foul fiend! --◄mendel► 00:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion is what I was talking about.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 16:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * What do you mean "the best way to play"?--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 16:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As in, w/out the expansion is no fun, AoE II (Death Star > All) and AoE III is no fun :P <font color="#220000">ICY <font color="#550000"> F <font color="#990000">IFT <font color="#550000">Y <font color="#220000">FIVE  16:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * AoE 3 is not AoE. Firearms ruin the game, as does the truncated upgrade tree. AoE has little men with clubs who you upgrade a bunch of times, not gun people with 2 upgrades tops.
