User talk:TheLastWordSword

Personal Image
Hello. An image or video that you have uploaded appears to be personal. Personal files should not be hosted on the RuneScape Wiki (see RS:NOT). If you want to add a picture or video of your RuneScape character, or any other media that doesn't fit in an article, you may upload it on an image hosting site, such as Photobucket or ImageShack. You can then insert it into your userpage simply by copying and pasting the URL where you want to insert it. Also, if you do not wish to use one of the afformentioned sites, you may also upload them on the Photo Share Wiki. Since it is also a wiki, any images it has will also work on this wiki if used correctly. If you have uploaded a picture of your avatar, you can instead directly link to your avatar picture by pasting http://avatar-rs.runescape.com/your character name/full.gif for full avatar and http://avatar-rs.runescape.com/your character name/chat.gif for chathead. If you need more details feel free to ask any question you have on. 22:31, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

I hate to tell you, but that's not just a set of personal images, that's a CONTRIBUTION, OF WHICH I AM RIGHTLY PROUD. I will upload them again, and you will keep your unwashed newb hands off of them until you have read the talk page for the Orb of Oculus!65.37.105.102

Ok, that -was- rude, but...
I ended up uploading only two images for the discussion page on the Orb of Oculus. Other users with dodgy, unmemorable names keep editing my user page, without discussion or notice. I would like that to stop please.

On a lighter note, I've noticed that there is no Userbox template for total number of questpoints, and would like to know if I should create one myself, or if someone else would prefer their own version. Thanks!

Images preferred in .png
Note to myself on capturing images in .png format.

Recapturing the images isn't that hard, but may take awhile in-game. Can I convert the files I alredy have in MSPaint (yes, I think...) and will the image quality suffer (dunno...hope not, saves me a lot of Fishing work!) (unfortunately, answer is obviously yes, and more work)

In Summary:

1) Capture original images in .PNG

2) Crop and process images BEFORE uploading them to RSWikia

3) Mark files for Speedy Deletion (hopefully as few as possible from now)

Uploaded the PNG
I succeeded in uploading the png files, but just barely. It was a real pain, and I had to spam-click it into submission, not the best methodology, I know, but it worked. 8-) Would someone else like the hellacious job of deleting the old files? "Take my old files...PL0X!" No such luck, huh? Ok, it'll happen eventually, but I'll have to stomp on buggienesses to get it done. Thanks.

Check out the images of the Shilo underground mine "Karamja Hard #" (#s 1-8) for the images (in .png!!!) for discussion, debate, etc. Where does that discussion take place, for the files themselves or the destination pages??? 0_o

Your "hidden area" images
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the image you uploaded is not a hidden place. It's in the same area where you fight the Jungle Demon in Monkey Madness. As such, I have deleted them. If you wish to keep the image on your userpage for any reason, please upload it with either www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com, not here, since we are not an image-hosting site. Thanks. 16:15, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tons of places are like that, but we don't have images of them taken with the orb because they already exist (and thus they are unnecessary, since we already have images of them). The picture of the Jungle Demon area is already on the Monkey Madness article, with the wooden platform and the gorilla statue. The one you uploaded was essentially a duplicate of that image but with things missing from it. That's why it was deleted, along with the fact that it was not used in the mainspace and also the fact that you used it on your userpage. Images for your userpage should not be uploaded here, but on either of the two sites I mentioned above.
 * I'm not sure what you mean by the "value" of these images for players who have completed the quest. If you intend to keep these images for yourself so you can remember the quest, then simply upload it on Photobucket or Imageshack, and there you go.
 * In addition, if you want to mention the fact that you can see the Jungle Demon place from Ape Atoll Dungeon, you could make a trivia section in the article and add it there. I'm not trying to cause you strife or anything; it's how the wiki works. 16:33, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling you haven't read what I've said. Feel free to keep the images you took for personal use, but just upload them on www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com instead of on the wiki. Surely you still have them saved in your computer? If you intend to use the images somewhere in the mainspace, I'll undelete them for you since mainspace images can be uploaded here. The reason I deleted them in the first place was because they were unused in the mainspace but were on your userpage (thus making it a personal image). 17:30, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE: I'm almost ready to give up...
I am too, actually. It seems like you haven't read any of my paragraphs above. Here is the key point you seem to have ignored: Also, no one is stopping you from uploading images on the wiki. Just make sure you're going to put it on the mainspace somewhere, or it will be deleted. This goes for all images. If it's not on an article, then someone will delete it. In addition, make sure that it isn't a duplicate, or someone will most likely delete it too.
 * You can still upload images for your userpage if you want to. If you want to upload that Jungle Demon place again, do so on www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com, not here, since are not an image-hosting site. Just make an account on either site, upload the image, and copy and paste the Direct link on your userpage.

Just trying to help. 19:53, February 6, 2010 (UTC) . Hope this isn't too confusing. -- 21:03, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * When linking to images on other wikis, you need to keep going until you're past the page with the file history/file links on it. For example, if you want to link to File:Banana crate.PNG, you need to click on the image again until you get this link:

Re: Your Userpage Code
Nothing on the wiki is owned by anyone, that goes with mainspace, files, templates, etc. Do you mean that you couldn't get Template:Goal to work?? Sorry, but I really can't be of any help since I don't really know much about templates and such. User:Azliq7 is probably the biggest brain on templates and coding and such and you should ask her if you still need help. 23:48, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Upload under Original
Re-upload your Music interface picture under the original on the playlist page. This is to prevent the loss of previous versions of that file that others have uploaded. This is for posterity and for consideration. Before uploading an image, check to see if there is an older version of said image. 17:36, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cropping
Sometimes it happens, nothing you can do but re-upload it. =) 19:54, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Split Notice
You might be interested in the templates page which has just about every template that you will need to use. Also, why is your child hunting me. I must have missed something  06:59, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, how did I forget about that. lol In case you are wondering I am not specifically targeting you, it automatically changes what it uses to the user who is currently viewing it. I might see if I can make it randomise what phrase it says!   04:58, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Brimhaven Dungeon
Technically, if you're referring to a single player, you should use "he/she" rather than "they." What you're talking about is a "he-she." 00:50, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * A slash usually indicates "or." Anyway, seems like you're a fellow grammar fiend... you may want to offer your opinion on this Yew Grove thread. 01:00, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Summoning Familiars
Hey man, great works on the HD closeup images of summoning familiars! They're great =D Mr Moo Cow99 23:44, February 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, on your picture Obsidian Golem, someone said it was taken from game guide? Please have a look at that before I make it trans... Mr Moo Cow99 23:48, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems like this is fixed =P Mr Moo Cow99 00:29, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's me again =P I wasn't on wiki for a while, but now I'm back! About preping shots for transparency. To make it easier, you can take the shots at a place with a non-changing background. Like for example, in the desert or in a POH. Personally, anything's ok with me when it comes for shots that I need to make transparent. Mr Moo Cow99 03:42, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Ket-Zek
I've added the original filename back to the Ket-Zek article, which shows your version of the Ket-Zek (although Damnads applied transparency to it. He actually did it as I was placing the image ). So, now everything should be fine. It wasn't a bother, if you need anything else just ask ! 22:06, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Userpage
Threatening an admin of blanking their userpage is never a good thing.. Especially if they were just doing normal things. 19:54, February 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Exceptions point 2  23:14, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I felt that it was overkill to create a sub page for something which fits perfectly on the main page. I kind of go into more detail at RuneScape:Requests for undeletion/Hidden locations. 01:43, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Odd
What's so odd about February 19? -- 22:21, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Staff of light.
I reverted the image simply for the fact that the 'orb' for the loan really wasn't needed and we already had an image with all the requirements on the page. I didn't feel that the loaned item symbol added to the image in anyway. If you have any concerns, please by all means revert it back or contact and administrator. -- 22:00, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

hidden faces
That's a great imagination, but that's all it is. Like looking at clouds, or people seeing Obamas face in the smoke cloud of the burning twin towers.--Degenret01 08:23, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Re:Riot
Riot, because of the new constitution and hitting too high.

Easter pic
If inserting a picture into an article, please make sure to size and place it correctly. If you need help, please let me know ‎Atlandy 16:07, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Picture that take up 1/4 of an article should probably be re-sized. It was re-sized and moved.  Please stop re-inserting the large size. ‎[[Image:Keg_of_beer.png|20px‎]]Atlandy[[Image:Beer.gif|25px]] 16:19, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Interesting that you took our talk to the article to point it out to everyone. My point is that I am not against your image. I also agree that we need a picture of the event.  For you to just insert a large picture in the beginning of the article haphazardly looks poor.  If you would like to continue this discussion, please do so on my talk page.  I will be happy to correct the picture to look more streamlined in the article.  Thanks ‎[[Image:Keg_of_beer.png|20px‎]]Atlandy[[Image:Beer.gif|25px]] 16:48, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Gif Ent pouch
No, the way you say it is the only way to do it. On the few occasions I have done that I open each page I will need to change in a new tab to be sure I don't miss any. And don't worry about "Don't edit user pages", this is one of the exceptions. Or if you are worried about it, let them fix it when they see the red link/no picture on their page.--Degenret01 00:30, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Spam Yew Grove threads
Please do not make any more inappropriate YG threads.--Degenret01 15:11, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't see any wrong changes to your user page from admins. Have you thoroughly read all our policies? Its quite a jumble, I know, I've been blocked before (long ago now). If an admin takes an action you disagree with ask for full clarification on the whys. We need to be able to justify our actions.--Degenret01 15:46, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
