User talk:Morian Smith

Welcome
Hello and welcome to the wiki! Have fun editing here, but first you should read the Style Guide to see how articles should be set up and our Help page for general help around the wiki. Editing help can be found here. If you need help with anything feel free to ask me on my Talk Page. There are many editors here who can help you with anything you need. Also, if you haven't already, why don't you create a User page to help everyone get to know you better? You can even create a Signature on the page Template:signatures/ to help add color to your name when you sign posts. Check out this page for help with that. Always remember to sign your forum and talk page posts with 4 tildes ~ until you've got a sig (if you'd like one), or just press the sign button:. Once again, welcome! 16:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Arposandra
Wow that was a big edit ! Keep up the good work :). 23:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying to make sure articles about the history of RuneScape are up-to-date, and Arposandra's one of the most interesting parts of RuneScape in my opinion. Sorry if I did anything wrong, I'm still a bit new to this ;).

World Gate
This page has been put up for speedy-deletion. I recommend putting a link to a Knowledge Base or official RuneScape web page to confirm authenticity of information. 04:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I have added a link on the page to a source, a book called Prifddinas' history that can be found in Lletya. I can't remember where I found the rest of the information, having done the Plague City series a while ago. If you want to discuss it further, I've posted on the discussion page of the World Gate article. Sorry about the confusion. Morian Smith 23:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

River Elid
Geez that's a high-quality edit ! Keep up the great edits! :) 22:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again ^_^. I think it's shaping up pretty well, although I did half to leave halfway through the edit. Glad to see that you're keeping an eye on the updates. Morian Smith 00:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Nomination
I've nominated you for this month's UotM because of your great (and mostly large) contributions! 11:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I would be honored ^_^. Thank you very much for this opportunity and your continued comments and support on my work! Is there anything I should do in regards to the user of the month thing, like make a post somewhere or something of the sort? I'm still a little new at this. =P Morian Smith 15:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think you really need to do anything. 23:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Varrock Herald
Hi Morian Smith! I saw your picture from a Varrock Herald Newspaper at the Varrock Page, but if I buy a newspaper, I only get to see 2 pages...? Where did you get that picture from?

Grtz Hapi007

Hey- The picture is actually from the As a First Resort... quest. It's part of the ending cutscene. When you actually read the newspaper, it only has the two pages. I was hoping that the Herald would be improved too, but I guess not. Thanks for asking, though. ^_^ Morian Smith 00:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Compliments and a request
Hi there. I just want to tip my hat at you for focus on the histories and lores of RuneScape and for creating articles about esoteric subjects that would otherwise be completely omitted. If at all possible, when you create a new page, could you get another article to link to it? It would help me a bit to keep the Orphaned Pages section bare. Thanks!-- 03:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for the feedback. I hadn't thought of that problem; I've been doing my best to clear out the wanted pages, and didn't even consider how close we are to getting rid of the orphaned pages. In the future I'll be sure to deal with that. Thanks again. =) Morian Smith 03:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

MIlestone
WIll you add to the milestone page I added?-rabbadxs


 * It's not usually the kind of page I edit, but I'll see what I can do. Also, to sign your name after a comment, just put 4 ~ at the end of the message. =) Morian Smith 18:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

King Roald II
I would say, looking at the history of this article, that the previous editors were either on the wrong track or deliberately creating false information. I may be wrong, but I have never heard of a King Roald II, and your point about II coming after I is also, obviously, valid. I'll have a trawl around and see if I can spot anything, and I'll stick the page on my watchlist, but if I can't find anything I'll delete it next time I'm editing.

User of the Month nominee
Hi, this is to let you know that you have been nominated for User of the Month. Good luck!-- 01:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. Sorry it took so long for a response; I've been gone for the last few days. Thanks again! Morian Smith 21:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects
Instead of making redirects for pages like you're making, you should edit the page that links there to link to the right page. You're kind of just covering up mistakes instead of fixing them. --Wowbagger421 23:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice. The way I've seen it, though, problems are doomed to repeat themselves; someday, somebody will make the same mistake when they link to an article. Because linking is case sensitive, I've always found it's just easier to eliminate as many possible mistakes as I can to clean up future problems. I hope that made sense; thanks again for the advice. Morian Smith 23:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Suppose that's better to create all new pages, but do we need a page for people who don't even appear in RuneScape? I personally didn't think so, but if you have the knowledge, then thanks for creating the pages! 15:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, and for helping out with the wanted pages. I've always felt that a lot of RuneScape's history and backstory aren't actually found in-game. The gods, important characters, destroyed cities; they're part of the game that a lot of people overlook. One of my goals is to encourage people to see these things and get interested. Thanks again, and happy editing ;) Morian Smith 17:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

List of the Kings of Kandarin‎
Hi Morian,

As you are most wise on all matters historical, I was wondering if you could take a look at the above mentioned page. The bit at the end especially looks a bit odd. Is it made up? Cheers Hurston 12:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Every bit of information on the page is entirely made-up. In my opinion, it ought to be deleted rather than rewritten, as only four kings of Kandarin have ever even been named. =S Morian Smith 17:50, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks dude, delete I shall Hurston 10:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Spoiler Template
I posted my revised version on the talk page, let me know what you think! =D 22:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I posted in the article's discussion. Very nice job. ;) Morian Smith 22:47, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Spolier template
Yes, the spoiler template has been created as is on the Template:Spoiler page. It was created as, feel free to use it. =D 17:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for all the help. Morian Smith 17:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Help?
Could we borrow your admin powers to block this vandal? 17:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * He's blocked. -- 17:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what? I don't have admin powers. Morian Smith 17:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * He's blocked anyways. And I figured with all the work you did you'd have them. =\  17:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. Thanks for the chat anyway. ;) Morian Smith 17:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, while we are on the subject of sysops powers, would you consider having an RFA? -- 17:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never given adminship a lot of thought. Admitedly, I'm not particularly up-to-date with a lot of the more techincal workings of the wiki. Of course, I certainly wouldn't turn down an offer of adminship, and I'm sure I could put my powers to good use once I learned the ropes. If someone were to nominate me, I certainly wouldn't object. Morian Smith 17:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll nominate you! -- 17:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't see this coming when I woke up; but hey, thanks a ton for the support. If I do get nominated, I'll be sure to put my abilities to good use. Thanks again, and I owe you one. ;) Morian Smith 17:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! I'll start the process! -- 17:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. Just sign on your rfa and you'll be set! -- 17:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll get on it. Again, I appreciate the support, and thanks for the help. I'll be keeping a close eye on the nomination's status. Morian Smith 17:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Stone circle
Hello I was wondering if you could do some work on this article, I originally intended to divide it into two articles Stone circle(Varrock) & Stone circle(Taverly) and turn the current one into a disambig, however things don't always work out as planned. Since your by far the best at articulating Gielinor's history into articles I'm sure you will do a fine job on such historically rich places. 15:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate that you've brought this to me =). I haven't taken a look at the articles, but I'm sure I can rustle up some info to make three good articles on the subject. I'll look into it and hopefully we'll have three good articles by the end of the day. Morian Smith 16:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Absolutely beautiful work! I knew I chose the right person for the job. (I noticed the excellent work a while ago, however my wiki break hasn't alotted me the time to say how great the article looks. Oh, and congratulations on the adminship as well.=D) 02:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Happy editing! 06:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Congrats, man. I knew you would become an admin. Have fun! -- 16:38, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the support and the advice everyone. And thanks for the cookie =P. I appreciate all the help I've gotten with this, and I'll be sure to put my new powers to good use ;)Morian Smith 17:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

99 fishing
Can you please tell me how you got 99 fishing from 76? Im currently 77, and ive done swan song so dont leave any training places out. Can you answer on my talk page thank you. 14:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your informative answer. My brother recently got 99 Fletching, so I know what you mean by madness.=O.

Also what time zone do you live in? You Don't have to answer if you find these kind of questions personal.

I'm pretty sure I'm in American Mountain Standard Time. Morian Smith 00:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Recent block
You blocked a user for this edit for two weeks, calling it inserting offensive material... Why? Christine 02:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Did I block the wrong person? Morian Smith 02:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Guess not. Sorry. Earth, you're a talk page stalker, stay out of it. 02:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I could say the same thing about Blanko's talk.
 * oh, and Azaz beat me by like 5.68 seconds when I was about to mark speedy d. So yes I guess I can say I was involved.  02:24, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Images
Morian Smith- I've noticed how much you work with images on the RuneScape Wiki, and because of this I think you should join This project. Joining this group will allow us all to find and update images more efficiently to keep the RuneScape Wiki looking great!

Thanks -- 16:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look into it. =) Morian Smith 13:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Question
I was never able to see how people make the maps of city's and dungeons underground... Is it a long job of copy and paste it out of the navigational circle? Like this city for instance how was it done? Keldagrim 09:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I've only ever mapped on or two underground areas, but as far as I know you're right about cutting and pasting the mini-map. I've never heard of any other way, although it couldn't hurt to ask somebody more involved with the map-building project. Morian Smith 13:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your answer I will ask the "map people" (: 17:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Quick question
Hi Morian, just wondering, where did you get Image:Mogre Camp Map.png from? There is some speculation that the image is stolen. Thanks, =) 08:06, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The map is actually my work, made from scratch. I'll make sure to clear up any confusion regarding its origins. Thanks for the heads up =) Morian Smith 17:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

UotM nomination
Per the law of the land, it is my duty to inform you that you have been nominated for User of the Month. -- 20:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. And I'll accept, by the way. Morian Smith 22:18, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Hazelmere Pod
As per this recent picture, I'm wondering if it requires transparency. I've never seen it before but wondered if the black should be removed. Let me know. Thanks.

17:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)~


 * I personally would leave it as-is; it's part of a cutscene, and I think it's meant to sort of draw the eyes to the pod for dramatic effect. But I'm not very familiar with transparency guidelines, so I can't say for sure. Morian Smith 00:34, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
