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).

[edit] Guild Wars articles for deletion

Hi. I have just nominated several Guild Wars-related articles for deletion at Wikipedia: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.

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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Horderaid

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

• 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

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)
