User talk:Rambutaan

Heya,

Thanks for fixing my numerous spelling errors on the story part of the Guild Wars page. I should probably have used a spell checker judging by the number of them! :) I also apologise for trampling on changes you'd made earlier in the week, but I'd been working on an older version of the page and didn't properly check the page before submitting.

Hey no worries about the changes, it's much more concise now so it's looking good (I knew I was right when I thought to myself "Hmmm I could've sworn the story section was a lot longer before!). The spelling changes were minor and half of them are probably unnecessary (it's just I'm pedantic :P).

Guild Wars articles for deletion
Hi. I have just nominated several Guild Wars-related articles for deletion at Articles for deletion/Guild Wars articles. My rationale is explained there, but in brief I don't think this is encyclopedic information. As you are the principal author of most of these articles, you may wish to post your comments and monitor that discussion. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 12:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Kaustuv, I've provided my comments.

Rambutaan 00:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

There seems to be a developing consensus for a merge of the character articles. I've taken a first shot at it: User:Kaustuv/List of Guild Wars characters. It is completely unsourced, and based entirely off information on GuildWiki. I'm not a Guild Wars player. Would you see an article such as this as a suitable compromise. (Feel free to edit/correct this page; it can be moved to the main namespace if the AfD is finished and the consensus is to merge.) — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 17:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, a merge is a suitable compromise (if indeed that goes ahead). I'll check it out ASAP. Thanks for your efforts. --Rambutaan 22:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Guild Wars Elite Skills
I don't agree with this edit. Elite skills are explicitly mentioned previously in the section, and therefore, it should be explained how to acquire them. Do you have another reasoning behind the edit that I haven't seen? Epsoul 00:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It's not that I don't think they should be mentioned at all, just separately. Let's say we do include the fact you can use a cap sig to get elites, then you'd also need to mention you can get the elites by winning Balthazar Faction and purchasing it from a skill trainer in PvP. Also, you may have noticed a sign being posted above the section stating that the information at the moment is a candidate for a game wiki :(. So I was worried that if we decided to go into even more detail on how the game works it could give even further justification for the section to be removed completely :(. I think that the elites should be mentioned separately or as an aside to the current list (perhaps place in brackets that you can acquire elites this way as well). Anyway, I don't mind if you change it back - it was only my suggestion :). --Rambutaan 00:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

How do I go about giving a fair use rationale? --NLUT

It's not really much, just stating that the screenie you got isn't stepping on anyone's toes :). --Rambutaan 04:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well the reviewer of the MMORPG article claimed that an example is to be found by looking at the images for the Halo 2 article. After a bit of digging around, I found this page with information on fair use rationales: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Image_page#Fair_use_rationale

 * Yo! Hey don't worry about that now, I think Greeves has made some revisions to the article to get it Good Article status. Thanks anyway though! :) --Rambutaan 23:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

QVS
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on QVS, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate QVS itself.

Maple Story
Hi, on the page Talk:Comparison_of_massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_games, you said Maple Story has 50+ million subscriptions. However, the article mentions 5 million, so I would assume you had a slight error while reading the press. Unlike Pay2Play games which track active subscriptions only (Such as WoW), Maple Story is a free game, it would be impossible for Nexon to track the number of active accounts/subscriptions. This indicates the figure most likely includes all registered accounts currently on Maple Story, which will almost always be significantly higher than the actual population, which could be anywhere from 500,000 - 2,500,000. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention, even though it is a bit late. --hylian_loach (talk) 12:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Gwdervish.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Gwdervish.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You need to add in who the specfic rights holder in respect of the character design is, if this your own artwork say so, or if you have already done so make it clearer :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
