Archives 2006-2007
- Welcome to the Wiki. Where normally I should be saying "ask me questions if you need help" or something, I will instead point you to the Forums on the thingy on the left...although if you want to you can, of course, ask me questions. It's just that you're more likely to get a half-decent answer from someone else, 'cos I'm a n00b. Have fun :) Vimescarrot 18:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Combo runes
Don't you need to use pure essence to make combo runes? Not sure but I thought I should mention it if you're doing all of them...I would correct them myself but I'm having serious internet problems. It took me ten minutes to get here from Recent Changes. Vimescarrot 11:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hiya
Not sure if I've said hello before - you've got very nice total for your level btw =) --Eucarya 23:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if I said this yet...
Hi. Well, you've been around a lot, so there's no reason to give you the ~ or blah-blah-blah stuff, but, anyway, hi. Good stuff you've been doing... Huanghe63 talk 00:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

2007
Have a happy new year!!!--Ilyas 16:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Nomination
I've nominated you for adminship - if you don't want it, please say!!! I'll have to wait until we have a few votes yes or no but I've been very impressed with all content that you've created! -- Eucarya Talk 08:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I shall do my best as an admin.  Chrislee33 16:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya you deserve it! Congrats on the Nomination. But you aren't an Admin yet, I hate to say it because you really deserve it, look at all of the wonderful edits you have made. We have to wait until the community has come to a decision. We also have a rule, you might have noticed, that nominations must be held for at least two weeks.20:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Why bother?
Why did you place other minigame guides on the Sorceress's Garden talk page? I HIGHLY doubt that those are needed. Besides, less than half of them were actually ABOUT Sorceress's Garden, so what were the other guides there for?
 * They're links to lists of minigames. The minigame just came out so they don't have guides yet.  they are there so i or others can check them to see if the new guides are up yet. Then, i will add the proper link as I have done for the forum links that are up now.  I have been doing this for the recent quests.  Each site does their guides differently, with some site have more info than others.  Hopefully ours will be more complete.  Chrislee33 21:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Aside from the downfall of Vandals, the wiki is probably one of the first RuneScape related sites to finish the quest guides upon release of the quest. This goes for mini games too. Since we have so many contributors, we have good, detailed quest guides finished in very little time.20:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Sysop rights

 * User "Chrislee33" is now a sysop

You now have sysop rights!!! This means that you can rollback easier, block users, protect pages and do a few other things. Some notes


 * Do keep an eye on recent changes, watching for potential vandalism attacks
 * If you are going to block someone, please show restraint - a lot of people use shared IP addresses, so a block for a day is normally best. Vandals get bored easily, but we need contributors from everywhere =)
 * Add the CVU page to your watchlist. If another non-sysop notices vandalism, and updates that page, you should see it and deal appropriately with whoever's causing the damage.
 * Finally, keep up the good work - we still need lots of content!! And congratulations again on being sysoped.

There's some notes around somewhere about administrator duties, I'm sure you can find them, and congratz again =) -- Eucarya Talk 23:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Congratulations! I think you deserved it. You have been here for a long tie, months, and you have made many useful contributions. Congrats!16:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:1000th edit
Thank you, and congrats on becoming a sysop! 19:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

...
Since me and you appear to be the only users on, can you check out the comments i made on the requests for adminship talkpage? I'm kinda anxious for feedback lol 08:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Calling an Admins Meeting
I'd like to get all of the admins together for a wiki meeting soon, on a free server at the Jolly Boar inn northeast of Varrock. Let me know via my talk page when is best for you within the next week, or if you can't make it just say so. Oddlyoko talk 05:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Green name
Does it really mean you're an admin? 07:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure about what the colors mean... but the list of admins or sysops is at RuneScape:Administrators or listed on Special:Listusers with a (sysop) after the name.  Chrislee33 05:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
I've nominated you for crat. Your nomination can be found RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Chrislee33. I think you deserve it. 01:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, RFB/NFB (nom. for b./req. for b.) are closed. Must've been my absentmindedness. 02:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

RuneScape:POW
As most of us know, or are going to find out, the new Project of the Week page has been created and the topic this week is Stubs! (Please see RuneScape:POW) As we know, there are over 700 Stubs! Some of these pages are the Slang pages. I have, as you and some others may have noticed, fixed some of these over time but I think a few of the community members should gather on the Slang Stubs. Please respond on my talk page if you are interested. Other users may also be willing to help. Please note that this is a team effort and not a hardcore attempt to get your editcount up. 22:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Also note that this message has been mass produced and copied to many other user's talk pages, you're not the only one so if anything offended you, please don't take it out on me. =)

Ancient Cavern
What is the minimum level to enter safely the ancient cavern ?

By the way, nice work ! 09:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure what would be a good combat level for this. The first room is safe, no monsters, but you can see the mithril dragon far away on another room. If you go down the ladder, you may or may not be met with a fire blast from a green dragon.  Set Protect from Magic on  and equip an Anti-dragon shield and/or drink Anti-fire potion before going down the ladder and run fast south to the safe spot in the alcove in the middle. Wait about 10-12 minutes until you get tolerance from monster aggression and then you can safely wander around the area of your minimap. Chrislee33 17:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: External Links
First of all, not to sound sarcastic, I understand what the internet is and what it consists of. For you to explain " The internet is a collection of many web pages which can be interconnected via links." is quite insulting. I know that most of us here grasp the basic consept of the what the internet is and what a website is capable of.
 * I also understand that "No web site can stand by itself and call itself the best." Here at the Wiki we should however, strive to become the best runescape reference on the web.  All of this is accomplished through each wikian's hard work and contributions.  Our reference guide should be two-fold, Runescape itself, and the official Runescape knowledge base.  Those are the only 2 offical websites that we should be linking to.

You also say "We cannot provide all the resources that RS players need to enjoy the game." I say why can't we? You also say "dont want to re-invent the wheel" but that is what we have essentially been doing? We are a fairly new website that is trying to grow to be the most complete Runescape reference on the web. Also, we are the only website that allows all users to edit all content. While we all know it is a tough job to do, all of us adding our input will eventually make this what we want, and expect it to be.
 * Finally, I do understand that "Exchange of links may also bring more readers here", but does runehq, tipit, or zybez link to anything on this wiki? I think not.  We send visitors to them, and they send nothing back to us.  They are all for profit websites, we are not. To send people away from our website to another, when we should have the same information (if not better since all of our users can edit) is foolish.

Sorry this is so long-winded. If you ever want to chat I am on RS quite a bit under atlandy, or on the IDC  Atlandy 23:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * According to the style guide"Feel free to link to other sites, like the RuneScape home page. However, you may want to avoid linking to other fan sites
 * This is exactly what I was talking about.
 * The following part was just added by you recently "unless it has exceptional content that cannot be reproduced here or because of copyrights. Example, JavaScript mouseover maps of the 6 level Waterbirth Island dungeon are very useful to players attempting this dangerous area." I did not erase any link that we could not have here on our wiki. You have added this "rule" to the style guide 5 days ago without community consencus, or any kind of vote.  You changed the rules by yourself, and you are now tellling me that I am wrong by eliminating links to other sites that our wiki should provide.
 * We have a farming guide, but then a link to runehq's farming guide also....I erased that.  We have an article on Moss Giants, there was a link to Moss giants on runehq.  Are both of those neccessary when we whould have the information here?
 * Before you tell me what "the style guide says" please try and keep it consistant, so we all can follow it [[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 23:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As with any wiki, all editors can add what they feel is community consensus about the RuneScape:Style_guide; it will always be in flux. If there is disagreement to what has been added, then the discussion should go on the talk page and a vote can be taken before it is changed again.  If an external link does not add any more information than what was given, then you were right in removing it. In the example of Waterbirth Island, I had added only 2 links to  JavaScript mouseover maps of the 6 level dungeon which we are not able to reproduce here on the wiki (plus, I don't do JavaScript and it is too dangerous to take the time to map out that place!) without a lot of 'reinventing the wheel' of someone else's excellent work or possible violation of copyrights. So an external link to that page would be appropriate as another resource for players to have available. I did do a table of the dungeon rooms and levels, but the maps are much better in helping players navigate the dangerous path to the Dagannoth Kings.  You deleted them and I added them back with an explanation of why they were valuable.  If you disagree, instead of deleting them again and having another editor revert them who also agreed that they should be provided, add the discussion to the talk page for community consensus.  Chrislee33 00:19, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for proving my point "If an external link does not add any more information than what was given, then you were right in removing it" Which I have. You have never address either of my points of telling wiki users to leave our site to find better information elsewhere, or the fact that we link to other sites, but we do not receive the links in return. If someone wants to make your map of waterbirth dugeon or whatever, perhaps, instead of sending people elsewhere to find information, we could come up with something that keeps our loyal wikans here.
 * I also want you to understand that I am not coming down on you, nor do I have any ill will towards you. I just want to see this Wiki succeed by using the wikians and tools we have here. I try to promote the wiki as much as possible, and to send people to runehq, or other sites only prevents us from growing into the most comprehensive runecape reference.[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 02:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Block
Thanks about the heads up. I dont know if I will tak it down...teach those vandals a lesson Atlandy 04:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

User of the month
I've nominated you for September's user of the month segment. Please reply ASAP and accept or decline the nomination. Congratulations! Dtm142 21:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * thanks, i accept Chrislee33 03:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Congrats

 * Wanted to inform you that you now have made more mainspace edits than any other user on this wiki. Surpassing Couchpotato99 long standing record. --Whiplash 16:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Fall Wikifest
With your permision, I would like to organize the fall wikifest. Ilyas and I have gone over a few things, and we would like to move forward. I understand that I am not an admin (nor do I want to become one at this time), but I do plan events for a living(see www.thedonkeyparty.com, or www.myspace.com/thedonkeyparty). This project needs focus and leadership to make it the largest wikifest and to drive additonal wikians towards our site. If, at any time, I step on any toes, I apologize. I will try and make this the biggest one yet. Thanks in advance. Atlandy 17:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have created a sub user page for all admins to have discussion about the Autumn Wiki Fest. This page may be found here. It is also currently on the sitenotice. Although it is not protected, this page is to be posted on only by Administrators, with the exception of Atlandy. Well, have a nice day. 17:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Please note that this is a chain message and has been sent to all users with the above message on their talk page.

Thessalia
Are you sure that you dont need to pay Thessalia? I've tried every option to get the credits without paying, but did not manage to get it. Only after resorting to pay the 1000 coins did i get the credit for the task. Perhaps you can clarify your method in the article? --Miw 14:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Temporary player boosts
I noticed that you added under the hard tasks tips for the Varrock Diary a note about using spicy stew with garden pie to get +9 on farming. However, this will not work as temporary player boosts do not boost higher than the players natural level plus the boost level.
 * If you eat the pie first, you get +3, then if you get a boost of +6 from the spicy stew, it only takes you to +6.
 * If you eat the stew first and get +6, then eat the pie, you stay at +6.

This applies to all temporary player boosts (e.g. trying to drink normal potions and super potions), you only get the best one of all the boosts. They are not added together.

Item boosts (as in gains from wearing/using items) are added together with the players temporary boost.

I've tried explaining this in the spicy stews article (under the section on Eating multiple stews). Please feel free to update my explanation if it's not clear enough. 12:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Nice analysis on the stew page. I will recheck this later.  thanks Chrislee33 02:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Runite Ore
Do you sell rune ore? I noticed your mining level (and your smithing, so I assume you work on both simultaneously). I may be interested in buying some sometime if you do, if not, nevermind then. :o)  21:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, sorry Chrislee33 17:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Events Page
With your permission, I have began working on an Events page. This page will be used to suppliment the forums, and to allow all wikians to post their own events that they are hosting. Hopefully this will allow wikians to "get together" in game easier and allow new users to see firsthand the strong communtiy that we have at the Wiki. Also, this will try and bring the community together by building friendships in game. When complete, we can discuss it being linked on the main page to draw new wikians towards it. I am hosting it right now in my Sandbox, and welcome all criticism. Thanks! Atlandy 15:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

2007 Hallowe'en event
Wow, you sure have done a lot of work on that page! *pats Chrislee on back* 22:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:Skull and peace sign images restored
I deleted the Skull and peace sign images per the RuneScape:Images and media policy (Which hasn't achieved consensus, but is also in RS:NOT, and for awhile images used only for userpages have been deleted). Me deleting the pictures was a response to User:Planeshifted's complaint after a image for a template he made was deleted.

Not changing the picture to text for Template:User no pk was a mistake on my part, as it was one of those things that I was going to do, but forgot =P.

In conclusion, I believe that, in order to keep the Skull and peace sign images, they would have to either be used in mainspace, or a change in the image policy is made. 02:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

EDIT: I see now Christine has turned the images into photobucket form. I think doing something along those lines would be the best compromise. 02:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * thanks, nice to have those images back. Chrislee33 02:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

The quest guide review
When you do that stuff on the talk page about who makes quest guides in what order. Ever considered making a template for it to make it quicker? ;) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
