Slaver's Exile -> Slavers' Exile
Ahhh, that's one burr under the skin fixed up at last! Sadly, many contributors will still probably misspell it, so adding to Misspellings. --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 00:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * And hey, I actually got off my lazy butt (figuratively) and helped out! What a surprise! --Shadowcrest  00:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * hehe, thanks for the help, cut down the list I had to do, so that's always welcome! :) --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You know, I think if you decided to move to GWW, this wiki would fall apart in the S&F category :P --Shadowcrest  00:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I think it would be more drastic than that. I think that yes, the S&F would fall apart, but it would fall apart with so much force that this wiki would probably implode --Gimmethegepgun 19:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for your kind comments, indeed as it happens I nearly did quit GuildWiki (have I fact done very little here for over 4 months!). It was not to join GWW, but rather at being throughly fed-up with the wishy-washy policy making that comes from those appointed to supposedly support and maintain the policies that exist for this wiki.  After close to 3 years of near daily contributions to this wiki, guess I expected better.  But oh well!  I have decided to just care a little less about consistency of applying policies (so what if things are not consistent across the wiki, no-one else seemed to care) and instead stick to what you guys so correctly pointed out, working on S&F is something I can do.
 * So, onward to see if anything did actually implode while I was away. ;-) Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Cracked Armour
We actually do use British spelled words, we just don't refer to them as such and turn them into redirects. ♥Thought ful♥  (Talk) 03:22, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops, didn't see your note on the talk page. ♥Thought ful♥ [[Image:Thoughtful Sig.png|19.px]] (Talk) 03:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As noted, "Ray of Judg(e)ment" is one of the few rare exceptions, and purely because that's the way is has been spelt in-game (ie, in-game spelling take precedents over the US-english convention). --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 03:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * THAT one is a redirect because if you just sound out the word, you think "Judge - ment -> Judgement!", when in fact it is Judgment (drops the e). It is actually spelled Judgment in the game the way it's supposed to, though Jadoth's Storm of Judgement uses the British spelling for some reason --Gimmethegepgun 03:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Pre Searing Quests
Hello! Well, I had just made a new character, and I was going around rounding up all the quests - except the usual two in Ascalon City were not available. I went through the talk pages of those quests, but I had already done everything that everyone had suggested. Then I remembered some other quests had a level requirement, so I went outside, levelled up and the quests became available. Also, I have considerable experience in terms of the quests for Pre-Searing, and on my other characters (I've made about half a dozen pre-searing characters that got past level 10 and finished all the quests until I got bored and restarted them, lol) I have never had that problem with the quests not being available right after the profession tests (and not completing any other quests). I reasoned from this that it must be something that I was not directly conscious of that triggered the quests - probably the level req, and sure enough, the quests became available at level 2. Sorry if this sounds confusing to you; but if your experience proves the opposite, I'd be glad to conduct tests and take screenshots. Thanks! &mdash; Nova   &mdash;  (contribs) 20:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Conqueror of the Titans
Is there really an achievement for this? I can't find it noted anywhere else but under you W/Me character. Rooble0818
 * That's not actually a title, it's just saying he beat the titans, probably meaning the Titan Quests. --Shadowcrest 14:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * well...he presents it like an achievement that can be presented on the Monument of Honor, similar to conqueror of sorrow's furnace. I was just wondering if there was a achievement that could be displayed on the monument of honor. Rooble0818
 * Well spotted Rooble, hehe I was wondering how long it would take before someone noticed that! :D And correctly answered Shadowcrest, yeah it's not a formal title available in-game (sadly), but at the time when those quests were the "hardest thing" in the game, always felt there should have been some sort of in-game acknowledgment at completing them (this all pre-dated titles back then).  Of course, these days we've all moved on to "bigger and better" tasks, but personally I still aspire to getting all my characters through those quests and so keep a track of their progress on the "My Characters" dossiers (time and other "higher priority" in-game tasks willing :). --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 07:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Your "My Characters"Section
^^ this section looks really nice and works really well, it saves lots of space on a userpage but alseo contains all th infomation that you require... di dyou write it yourself?--Cookie™ (Talk |Contribs) 06:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you Cookie for your comments, it's pleasing to know someone noticed and cared enough to post a comment! As for your question, yes it is all my own work, had a clear idea of what I wanted, as you picked up, something that contained all the interesting stats but without being too cumbersome to navigate or too over-whelming for the casual viewer, drew my inspiration from all over the place and tinkered around with it for months before getting it "just right", but am quite pleased with the results. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 06:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Polymock Arena
I'll take care of the deletion for you, as long as you take care of the linking when you do the move that you are planning on. Special:Whatlinkshere/Polymock_arena 2 articles have links to the page, that will create redlinks when I delete it. Thanks. --   I~sk8   (T/C) 01:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup, already have it planned out, just can't move until that article is out of the way. :) --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

There, DONE! All the Polymock quest articles have been cleaned up, had all their dialogue and a walkthrough added etc, so now you can see what it was all about. FYI, I have done those sorts of moves many times, so am fully aware of the temporary redlink issue, but as I can't do those tidy ups myself, have to rely on someone with delete abilities, hence why had spelt out the plan in the delete notice. --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 06:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Vicious Seedling split
Wolfie, the reason no-one's split Vicious Seedling is that current consensus would probably have been aganist that. See Talk:Malfunctioning_Golem, the situation is really very similar. Please consider reverting the split. --mendel 08:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The difference is that the only similarity between the Vicious Seedlings is the name, whereas the Golems also share the same appearance. See Convicted Criminal for a nearly identical precedent.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 13:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The name, the description, and the location are similar; the difference is the appearance and the skillset. There are no notes. If someone actually wants to look them up, it'll probably be by name, which means all 3 pages; unless, of course for the mesmer and elementalist types - there the profession is realtively obvious for anyone who's actually played the game. Still, we now have 4 very short articles where before we had one; and what have we gained? Oh well, I'll go edit the disambig page some. --mendel 14:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There's probably little need to be too concerned about "we now have 4 very short articles", there are some 150 disambiguation pages already, so one more is not going to break anything. As for the BeastInfo pages themselves, they're about as complete as any of the majority of other Bestiary articles. If short pages were a concern, I would say there's a vast number of superfluous redirect pages we could be targetting.
 * As for "what have we gained?", I came across that article while in the process of cleaning up the Uncategorised pages list, when considering what to do about that article, I could either have added the article to all three profession categories, which most definately would have been unprecedented in all the articles I've edited over my years here, and while I was not aware of the example Dr Ishmael quoted, used Stygian Lord as my guide (and have also found Harpy Mother, and Scythe of Chaos, so there's at least four examples), and by splitting they, was then able to assign the appropriate categories to each article individually. So I would say the split was/is in keeping with other previous articles, so should be considered perhaps the split should remain to avoid inconsistencies with how other articles covering similar situations have been done in the past. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. --mendel 05:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
