[edit] Moved info

I moved the information from Guild_Wars#Guild_Wars:_Factions to this page and removed the advert/wikify templates here. It seemed inappropriate to leave well-written information that was pertinent to this article over there and also (hopefully) solved the advert/wikify problems. FAE 03:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CE Shipment Delays

Should add controversial issue on the the delay of Collector's Edition (CE), which affect globally. Gross 13:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Violation

I removed the Two Factions section due to copyright violation. It was copied word for word from the Preorder booklet, which I was could verify because I have a copy of it as well. All official lore is copyrighted to ArenaNet. I'm keeping the screenshots here for insertion when non-copyrighted information about the two guilds is added to the page.

[edit] Build Information

Hi, to the person who added A and Rt build information to the page with specific information about which weapons and skills to use. I felt that the information was based on personal opinion and hence not appropriate for the page. If you have information on generic builds run by many ritualists and assassins you could perhaps update the builds page with Assassin and Ritualist information? ; Character Builds in the Guild Wars Universe -- Aspectacle 12:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gothic / Emo

Would 68.48.158.244 please stop changing gothic to emo. Gothic means more in real life than just the social group, it is (or was, it dates from the middle ages) a whole artistic movement in architecture notably, of which the Kurzick cities, landscapes and people are reminiscent : very elaborate, very codified and strict, like the kurzicks themselves. Emo is a modern clothes and music trend that cannot be reproduced in a medieval / pre-industrial world like Guild Wars. SmegEd 21:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Critical Response

To aid Factions being more notable I think the Critical Response section should be expanded on :). Some possible things to add:

Well those should be starting points. Plus all the reviews that were written :). I may have a look when I get more time, but don't hold your breath :P --Rambutaan 03:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Okay, I've uploaded and added a couple of pictures as requested to improve quality. Please re-organise them in the article as you see fit :) --Rambutaan 20:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special Events

I'm usually the last person to act like a deletionist, but I just wanted to see if I could get a consensus on whether we should remove the Special Events section? I mean it doesn't really conform with the other Guild Wars articles plus if we decided to list every special event that came up (e.g. Wintersday and Halloween events), the list could start getting pretty long (not to mention the section is bordering on becoming too explicit/trivial on the events - I'm referring to the 250 Jade Wind Orbs mention...). I'm happy to take back my suggestion if someone can provide a good reason to keep it. Otherwise, if there aren't any objections, I'll remove the section (or at least abbreviate the information somewhere else). --Rambutaan 05:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm a big deletionist. ;0) I don't think that each of the events need to be detailed on this or any page. I would like to see it removed, especially the details like jade wind orbs. --Aspectacle 21:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Since I haven't received any objections (plus I've given a couple of days for people to comment), I've decided to remove the "Special Events" section for the following reasons: (1) It appears to be too technical, (2) Special Events are already mentioned in a paragraph in the main Guild Wars article (and that's all that really needs to be mentioned) and (3) it does not conform to the format that the other two chapter articles employ (i.e. they don't have any mention of Special Events in them, so why should Factions)? --Rambutaan 01:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
