GuildWiki talk:Requests for adminship/Skuld (2)

Just noting that Skuld hasn't accepted yet. There are 6 votes currently; I feel I may have been premature in voting before the candidate's acceptance, and my apologies to Skuld if that's the case. But I mainly want to mention the nomination reasoning. It's... uhh... weak, to say the least. =) I almost think it's a joke; the nomination is so bad it's hard to tell. — HarshLanguage 05:41, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

 * Lol you are such a smartypants --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 16:30, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

I have no idea what you just said.. --Sig mA   16:32, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Summary: Approved ≠ Improved. --   16:34, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Yup, that's it. The text was organized but collapsed after being edited for some reason. As for being a smarty pants, I work as a translator to and from English all day long, so it comes with the territory being bothered by things like that, especially by someone who claims "native level of English" on his user page. NightAngel 16:37, 22 March 2007 (CDT)


 * I have a "Native" level of English and I do that all the time... They need to add another level: "I don't need my own Spell Checker." --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    16:41, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * If he was born in the US, UK, or other English speaking territories, then he has every right to say he's native speaking in English. Also, how do you make "≠", Zerris? What's the ASCII code for it?--Nog64Talk [[Image:Yaaaay.JPG]] 16:42, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * He is indeed a native who speaks English. Very good definition :)) NightAngel 16:44, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * As for the symbol, I actually didn't know, so I chose to be wise instead of smart. I just typed "Not Equal" into wikipedia and got this: Inequation. Now copy + paste the symbol from that page, and it works fine. Or just copy the one right here: ≠ --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    16:48, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * In this day and age, being intelligent is not knowing everything, which is impossible, but rather knowing where to look. NightAngel 17:47, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Nightangel, you're just sad. I live in Australia, I speak english ; get over it. Solus  01:18, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * So, in Australia approved means something different? Just checking. :) And again with the personal attack. It was a bit provoked, but nevertheless. CUT IT OUT. This is guild wars, not flame wars, capisce? NightAngel 02:07, 23 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Also, Approved --> Improved is Spelling, not Grammar. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   01:22, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I hate to interject, but spelling is a part of grammar. A language's grammar is the rules that define/describe it; spelling is one facet of those rules.  --Fyren 02:02, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

And? Solus  01:23, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I have nothing better to do either. >_> --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   01:25, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

It shows. Solus  01:26, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * yep. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   01:26, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

Wow, this is SO pertinent to the discussion of Skuld's nomination. I added a line to separate this whole discussion from Harsh Language's comment which is actually on topic. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs) 02:12, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Er... this is pertinent how? :P -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 02:13, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

I don't see too be liked by Nightangel, I have no idea why he's even posting it here. Solus  02:16, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

What, I have nothing but love for Solus, you must be imagining things. As for the discussion, I'd rather talk about grammar than get a huge argument on why dictatorships are good for you, that's for sure. :) NightAngel 07:44, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

Whoooo glad that's over, so we still on for Saturday? Solus  07:46, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

Just wondering, Solus, but do you imply that being Australian means you do not need to adhere to grammar? I plan on studying university in Australia (as a citizen, after all), and I take Theatre and Litereture. What you say alarms me somewhat. -Silk Weaker 22:20, 25 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Literature. And please don't take the beliefs of one person as the beliefs of an entire country. Australia's reputation is already tarnished enough as it is. -  B e X or [[Image:Bexor.png]]  01:54, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * o.O --Xasxas256 04:10, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
 * We don't have plumbing and we ride kangaroos to school remember? :P -  B e X or [[Image:Bexor.png]]  04:33, 26 March 2007 (CDT)

That's so much cooler than a bus! :) Bah, each country has its stereotypes for foreigners. I guess if those are the worse ones you got out easy :) NightAngel 08:13, 26 March 2007 (CDT)
