XP Counter Argument
Not it off, NOW. You said you didn't want two pics so I deleted one and put mine.

I'm the one that made the article, so back the fuck off kid.

Um..how are you going to blatantly lie to me and tell me that you made the article when, well, I did. If you look back at the history, I am the first 15 edits, clearly showing that I am the creator. On my article, I will use my image, especially since it shows much more detail and shows how a player is actually aquiring XP. Thanks for your understanding.Joel amos 11:18, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Joel amos ITz ApPlee, no one owns articles on the Wiki, just because you created the article does not give you the right to do as you wish with it. Also, please keep swearing to a minimum as it only serves to aggravate the situation. Thanks. 11:29, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Caleb, you fail. made those comments, and joel is asking for help here.  11:32, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * My bad, I got confused with the unsigned comments. The above should have been directed at ITz ApPlee. 11:37, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

thanks rwojy Joel amos 11:35, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

@C.Chiam

It's not that I have a problem with someone editing a page that I started. But, it is really annoying that after I put so much work into an article, people start making it look a lot worse. For example, ITz ApPlee was throwing his picture (with a fail-caption) at random spots on the page, messing up the text, etc. It's a very small page, and there were already two better pictures, so his picture was unneededd, but he kept plastering it up there at any spot. --Joel amos 11:41, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * For the most part, try to work it out with the editor on the article's talkpage or your user talkpages. If you do not manage to reach a compromise, you can ask other users to join the discussion to settle the dispute. 11:45, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

I will definately do so if the problem arises again. --Joel amos 11:48, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

HAHAHAHAHAHAH, yea fool no one owns the article so stop replacing your stupid picture with noob rune.

ight kiddoe? anyone can edit this so smd? —ITz ApPlee (talk • contribs) did not sign this comment.

The "Preview" Function
Hey there, thanks for contributing so much to the XP counter article. In the future please click Preview before saving the page, so you can make sure there aren't any typos or formatting mistakes. This will clean up the history page of the article, making it easier to manage previous versions. Thanks! 22:16, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

The "PREVIEW FUNCTION" doesn't help when many people are editing at once because then if I work for a long time, and someone else makes an edit, my work has jsut been lost. So instead, I was making short little edits. --Joel amos 11:12, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * One thing you could try, is to copy your edit (when finished-ctrl+c or apple+c on a mac), then click "article" or whatever kind of page it is in the top righthand corner. Once there, click edit, highlight all the text, and then paste (ctrl+v/apple+v). Also, if you are only making edits to one paragraph, you can scroll down when you get an edit conflict, copy your text using the above, and then paste it where you need it. You can do that with more lines, but it becomes a hassle. 11:58, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Dungenoeering Glitch Picture - Why?
Why are you so intent on replacing this pic: It was uploaded on the 17th of April, which is obviously way before you did. --Jlun2 13:17, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

The first time I uploaded it, I was going to upload it without knowing there was already a picture. When I saw the picture that was there, I figured, "Since I'm already here, I might as well put my picture up because there is more Dungeoneering progress." If I had previously known that there was a picture almost congruent to mine, I would never had bothered. The second time that I uploaded my picture, is because my picture had been replaced by a picture that wasn't of the glitch at all! I have not been agressive at all in my picture-uploading. I could care less which picture is used. (However, doesn't it make sense to use the one with more progress...?) --Joel amos 21:10, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * It would make more sense to use one with no progress whatsoever. 02:40, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Then go ahead and ruin YOUR ring for a stupid picture. I've long forgotten about this "issue".--Joel amos 11:25, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Stop please
You don't need to make silly and backward names for redirects, only expected common misspellings. Thanks.--Degenret01 14:59, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

What does it really matter?Joel amos 15:02, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Please, no URLs in edit summary
Its advertising, which is not allowed. Thanks for understanding.--Degenret01 14:16, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Nope, it's actually called "teaching nublets how to use correct grammar".--Joel amos 14:26, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Chiam Question

 * Are you the owner of User:Rodzinsky? 14:30, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Not that I am aware...Why do you ask?--Joel amos 14:56, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Redirects
Save your sarcasm. Yes, it was nonsense. Just as your spelling words backwards is nonsense. Have a nice day.--Degenret01 11:42, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, ir would be a smart move for you to read RS:UTP. Insulting, mocking, or any ridicule what so ever of other editors OR their edits can result in you being blocked. We strive for an enjoyable environment here and nasty negative comments hurt the process. So don't use them, on talk pages, or in edit summaries.--Degenret01 11:50, May 13, 2010 (UTC)




 * Thanks. I'm glad you have deep concern for my life. And btw, I was under the impression that redirects are used for common misspellings. When people are typing "ing" fast, it tends to come out "ign", which is why i made a redirect article entitled "Dungeoneerign". Nonsense? Not in my book. Thanks for understanding--Joel amos 20:58, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Note that the (and the only contributor was ____) automatically appears in the delete summary if only one person has edited it. I don't think any sysop here (including myself) bothers to remove that. 21:03, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, good. Thanks for clearing that up.--Joel amos 21:11, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

I hope you realize this...
I hope that you realize that everyone here is here a volunteer. We all give our time up to make the wiki better. It might seem like people are attacking you personally, but really everyone telling you things wants you to become a better contributor, and the wiki to become a better community. As a general rule, people with several thousand edits are pretty knowledgeable about the way things work. You may not agree with what they do, but when you take it up with them on their talk page, try and be nice about it and you may get a better response- "You attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.". I hope you take this into consideration and have a nice day! 12:31, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Personal images
Sorry, but we don't allow users to host personal images here. They have to be used in an article or they get deleted. If you like, you can upload to imageshack and use that URL to have the pic displayed on your page.--Degenret01 11:38, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes I display personal images on my userpage. And you can also, as I said. You simply may not host them here. As in, they may not be uploaded and stored on the RuneScape Wiki. They must be stored elsewhere. Thats totally in line with policy.--Degenret01 11:42, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Please do not upload images solely for your userpage. If you want images for your userpage, please upload them to ImageShack or PhotoBucket, and place the direct link to image on your userpage to display the image. I have uploaded your last personal image to imageshack, simply place  in your userpage to display it. Thanks, 20:24, May 14, 2010 (UTC) 7 Okay, thanks. I would have done that, but when I previewed it, it didn't show the picture. It only shows up once the article is saved. Before that, I tried putting the link in the "Link" space when uploading the picture. That didn't work, so I didn't know what to do.--Joel amos 20:36, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

YouTube
All you need to do is put the code for the video (the numbers at the end of the URL) between the following tags:. ;) The Pandorica will open. 20:53, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Dragon gauntlets
Can you please explain how dragon gauntlets can be applied to Dungeoneering? I don't notice the connection. Thanks. 21:10, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay, I see it now. Thanks for explaining to me. 21:17, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Names on pictures
This image:



A name of an NPC.

--Jlun2 04:43, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

level 120 dung
While your reasons may be valid, they are no more valid than because Jagex rolled a die, it was a number on a car license plate, or it is a favorite aunts house number. There could be a million reasons, none more likely than any other, and we are not listing them all. So we are not listing any. Leave it out please.--Degenret01 11:49, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

I've already made that decision, thanks. 11:51, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

I was trying to show you that there is no proof of your speculation. 15:51, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

No, that's what Degenret did. You, on the other hand, stated an irrelevant fact. 20:20, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's the only proof that existed about anything related to level 120. Just stop with this. 08:57, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Date
It's the 6th month. 11:23, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

You're three days late lol 11:24, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh? It is the 6th month... April = 4; May = 5; June = 6. What about the day? 11:33, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Let's put it this way: If you wan't your accouncment to be recent news, you're three days late. =P 11:36, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, I should have said this from the start: I'm talking about your user page at your hiscores. 11:37, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for notifying me...I was a tad confused -- 11:39, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
Lol, that's an interesting question. The simplest answer is that I don't know. You'd have to ask Jagex. There are a bunch of different items A stone bowl, A stylish hat, A scruffy note that simply have an "A" in front of them for no apparent reason. No idea why though. In cases like A key, there are already items called Key, so that's in place to distinguish the different items. However, there's no Powdered wig that needs to be distinguished. So I have no idea. As for my talk page, I'll get there soon :D 00:42, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Smooth GIF Files.
I don't. I've never uploaded a file onto here. I believe we prefer PNG's however. 00:15, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * The software i use to capture the screen is Camtasia studio. I typically take a recording, save it as a .avi file, and the edit it into an animation using Photoshop. This video gives a pretty good description of how to do it, but using VirtualDub is unnecessary. It took me a while to figure out how to make nice animations like File:Dungeoneering-runecrafting-altar.gif, it's just a lot of trial and error. Feel free to ask if you've got any more questions. Cheers- 02:37, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * When you go to save the screen recording you have taken, it should give you the option of saving it as a .camrec file or a .avi file. Since I'm not sure what version of Catasia you're using, I would suggest Google. As for the close-up animations, my monitor has a fairly high resolution and large size, so Runescape displays quite large in fullscreen mode. I do not zoom, as it causes a decrease in quality, I simply take a recording of the screen as I see it. -- 01:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Lumbridge Rat
You are correct, the file is not found on the page. User:Cook Me Plox/DPL/Items was for categorizing the Animations into the Animation category. I've already added that file to the category. Because I used DynamicPageListing to make that page, and because of the parameters I used, when a file is added to the Animations category, it goes off of the list automatically. Some things happen faster than others, and Lumbridge rat.gif still thought that it was used in my page. To "purge" this and make it update, add ?action=purge to the end of the URL. I did that, and now the file should no longer think it links to my page. By the way, how did you come across this? 22:47, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * ^_^ 23:24, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Zombie head
I deleted it as a duplicate of the image that's already on the Zombie head article. Is it not the same content? If I am wrong, then I'll undelete it, but it seems to me that its the same image. 23:51, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok sorry about the misunderstanding. 00:04, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * (Butting in) just edit the page, click on Add category near the bottom of the edit box, and type in the category you want, like this. -- 00:22, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can also type in on the page. It won't appear in the text but will add the page to the category.  00:23, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, guys! -- 00:31, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suppose that's true, but you're very deluded if you think things are ever going to get organized around here  18:35, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * *sigh* I try, I try...-- 19:07, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Collapseable Text
You could go about it by making a wiktable without borders/lines between cells. It might be kind of hard to engineer that, but it could be done. I don't know if you could do it straight up, but you could try RS:UH. 22:05, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
