User talk:Vimescarrot/Archive1

Welcome!
Hey Vimmescarrot. Welcome to the RuneScape Wiki. I guess you're new to this wiki stuff eh? Well, it's fairly easy to get used to. I myself have only been using it for a few months.

So, how do you upload images? Well, if you look on the left side of this page, underneath the seach bar, is the toolbox. In here, click on upload file. You can then upload an image to the RuneScape Wiki!

If you have any more questions, I guess you can ask me on my talk (discussion) page. --Richard1990 12:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Redirecting
For your question on misspelling, yes, I do believe you will need to create the misspelled page and then redirect it to the correct spelling page. --Richard1990 18:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Headgear
Thanks for the headgear suggestions :-) I'll keep my eyes open for items like that. --Paania 20:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Uploading images
Vimescarrot, there's an article at regular Wikipedia about uploading images that should work here. Also, regarding Fremennik Armour (I think armour shouldn't be capitalized), I left a note on the talk page, but I'm moving some of your information to the articles on the specific armours to cut this down a bit (and to build on those smaller articles). -- Ricky81682 22:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Rock-shell armour
Next time there's something spelled wrong like at Rock-shell armour, you can simply move the page. Don't do a simple copy-and-paste job (some people do) because we need to keep the edit history. -- Ricky81682 23:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Silverlight
It is a fact that although Silverlight offers a bonus toward attacking demons, that bonus is not substantial enough to make it as a rune longsword against them. Read this article and scroll down a bit until you see the heading "General Demon Tips: Equipment and Technique :"--Death motor 01:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Help me!
To pose a question or suggestion about an article, add a topic to that article's talk page and post your question/suggestion. In the case of a suggestion for a template, go to that template's page and post your suggestion on its talk page. -- Couchpotato99 21:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: Congrats
Thanks. Most of the bolt articles aren't complete, so I have that to look forward to sometime... The potions table was already in Herblore, but it annoyed me that it didn't link to potion articles or have the potion names first, so I'm gonna change that around. I'm just glad to be able to help out! -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  18:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, my fault that I'm afraid, I put together most of the herblore article and it does need improvement. If you like I can get a picture of every (common) potion as I have the herby level to make them all --Eucarya 22:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: My sandbox
Feel free to edit it as long as you understand what I'm trying to accomplish (which is rather self explanatory at the moment). -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  23:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit count
There's no quick way to find out your edit count. This page has a section about your edits but it is way out of date. The easiest way right now is to go to your contribs and change the number in the url and by trial and error you will eventually come to an answer. For example, I tried to display 394 edits at once at http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=394&target=Vimescarrot. Page one is full (394 edits) and page two has two edits, so your grand total is 396 edits. Hyenaste talk 19:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Potions
There is a Potions category that is a subcategory of items and herblore; use that instead of herblore on the potion articles. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  16:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I just noticed you doing that :) Vimescarrot 16:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Look...
Never fear, sir Vimescarrot. On further investigation you will notice that an exponential amount of my recent edits have been towards the purpose of organization. I have been working with and reorganizing categories. The actual amount of information I contribute, though, is not overly large. Now that most of the categories are looking good though, your wishes may very well come true... (this is a heavily disguised thank you) -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  21:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Similar item grouping
Since nothing seems to be happening in this matter, I have posted at Forum:Granularity policy?. I have created a sample page of my version at my sandbox and hope that you will do the same. Then we can get comments on how to improve each version, and finally vote on which version is better. Please create a sample page and link to it from the forum when you get a chance. Thank you! -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  00:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Sysop
I've given you sysop rights - you can now revert pages as required.--Eucarya 13:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Paterdomus
Ah, I see. What name should we use? I know Chrislee33 has been linking to temple. Perhaps Paterdomus temple? -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  19:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Barrows
Heya Vimes, think you can make a page where you're showing all 4 pieces of an armour set on top of each other, so people can compare them side-by-side without haveing to open more than one page. -- Dreadnought  16:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

GIFs
Nooo! You uploaded all the spell icons in GIFs before I could get PNGs! *sobs* Oh well. Do you have any software that you could use to convert GIFs to PNGs while preserving transparency? I use some photo-editing software that came with my Microsoft office. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  22:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

...doesn't mean you should do it
Hehe, after I made that edit summary I just knew that you would respond. Luckily you aren't Shadowdancer. =D Hyenaste talk 18:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

From requests, just moved this junk here instead

 * I suppose you've got a point there. What I'm worried about is speedy admin nominations setting precedent for other, possibly less suitable candidates. Oh - and you never actually asked me if I wanted to be an admin... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  21:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL, I guess I didn't. Erm, I know this is a little late....but...would you like to be an admin?  Pretty please with a cherry on top?  Cos I can't take the power away?
 * We shouldn't be talking about this here anyway. My nomination or talk page would be more appropriate. And no, I didn't particularly want to be one, but meh, there's not much can be done now. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  21:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * To be honest, there's not a lot more you can do as an admin, except revert and block. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who's proved to be a reliable contributor should be able to do this really.  Having said that, shadow was probably my fault - I did jump the gun too early there, he'd made some excellent articles and got into no bun-fights with anyone at that point so I wasn't to know.  Sigh. --Eucarya 21:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

White knight equipment query
I'm going to do an article on white knight equipment but I've got a question. Should I make a single page with both armour and weapons or should I make two pages, one each for weapons and armour? Thanks if you can help. Chaoticar 23:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice my articles should look better in the future.--Whiplash 18:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Happy now?

 * sigh* I should have just stayed a silent watcher, but no, I had to get involved. Any other common codes of practice I should know about? I wouldn't like to have a full scale conversation this way. It would be far too confusing.
 * Thanks very much for your help on my article, it is appriciated. It's nice to have such a dedicated proof reader. I'm now off to play the game. I may write another article later. But lets leave any more critisim until tomorrow, there is only so much I can take in any 24 hour period. =) A happybunny 17.33 19th October 2006 (GMT)

Hi
New version of cw text, unbiased his time;

There is a tactic known as "flag holding," which simply consists of a player grabbing their own flag after an enemy player has dropped it outside their castle and then hiding with it. Players do this to ensure their team get tickets, they make sure they have a higher score than the other team then wait for them to take their flag.

After the other team has taken their flag they wait until they are outside the castle, then kill them taking their own team flag in the process, the flag is taken to a corner of the field with some players protecting it, it is worth noting that the player that normally holds the flag is normally a high level mage or ancient mage, so that they can protect themsleves, whereas warriors and rangers cannot because they need to hold a weapon to do damage.

Thus ensuring that the opposite team cannot score points, and their team can; making sure that if they keep hold of the flag they win the game, as the other team cannot score points.

Some players have argued that this stops the fun, by stopping the race to score points, idly holding on to the flag is seen as unfair on the opposing team, and lessens their chances of winning the round.

'''I do not see why we have to argue, check what we did in the history of the mage training arena guide, where you corrected a spelling mistake for me and added the links I did not know how to do. I love playing Castle wars; it is my favourite minigame apart from the barrows, don't deny me the chance to help people understand some of the tactics by changing it back, I have emailed you; feel free to email me back and let me know if you disagree with any part of the text that I have contributed.'''

happy with castle wars editing you have done
It now presents both sides of the arguement which is all I wanted, I will leave it as it is, nice work.

Hey
Hi, I saw your deal on the forum, and I was wondering what is the name I add for the rune bars into armor on runescape.

Help with making templates
I've seen some custom templates around the place, but I'm not sure what tags you use for making one, would you be able to help me out? --Raven110283 08:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

On Swiftswitch
You deleted the article on SS that I made in passing yesterday, mentioning its questionable legality.

Rule 7

"You must not attempt to use other programs (e.g. bots, macros or autominers) in conjunction with our games to give yourself an unfair advantage at the game. You also may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to log out inactive users automatically."

At one point in time (way back) the creator of swiftswitch was told the cilent was illegal for two reasons by jagex, one because if a world was full it would still load the world, and two because it did not show the advertisements of f2p players. If you downloaded any version in the past number of months, you would see that both of those legality problems were taken care of. Now SS is comparable to using firefox with a highscores tab open, a bookmarks toolbar full of helpful runescape links, and chatzilla. The difference is that SS is much more convenient. Because SS has such a large fanbase (nearly 1m downloads), is the currently largest used client (legal or not), and has led to the rise of IRC in runescape (most notably in clans), I think it deserves at least a mention in a Runescape Wiki, if not more. --Moobies1 01:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Quick Quest, Item and Monster
Please restore these templates. I created them for the tools on my page here. When you type in an article title, it will create the article with the base already there. 04:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I have remade Template:Quick Quest but could you restore the other 2 please? 04:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Template
I get what you were saying about the template on silk. Is it that it can be written in 2 ways but the one it was changed to was easier? All I did was go to the Template page and copy the item template. But I still do not see how it makes a big difference. I'll try to do it that way the next time. .Ilyas --Ilyas 16:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

infoboxes help
Hey, it was me who made an empty "Nettles" page. Look, the only way I know how to make infoboxes is to "subst:" the template, save the page, then go and edit it again. Is there some basic thing that I'm missing here and the way I'm doing it is the wrong way?--Atlantima 17:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
