Re: Your stories and the newspaper
Thanks for the notice, I think I'll put The Godsword in as my first submission there. Also do you think I should touch it up a bit? Like add more details and refine some of the langauge? I will talk to Tien or Jack about submitting multiple, but first I need to get to rewrites of The Stone. I haven't even started on chapter 1 yet lol. 00:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I see it may be hard, but it was the best I could do without overlapping some of the runes, in regards to font size. I simply did the photo editting in MS Paint, and I got the font as a picture from Flaming Text 15:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have Corel Paint Shop Pro, much like photoshop, but I only use it to add transparency. Feel free to make any changes you like :) 16:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Too many categories
OK, done. But why is that rule in place? I can't think of any reasons why I can't help out in all three sections... 03:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see. If we get started and not all of the categories are full, can I sign up for a second or third one again? 20:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh OK, thanks. I don't suppose there's any chance of expanding categories if people want to participate in more than one? I doubt I'm the only one who's signed up for more than one category (Jediadam for example). 01:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Counter Vandalism
Thanks for the advice. :) I haven't actually done much with CVU, so I probably mess things up sometimes. I will learn though. :P Butterman62 (talk) 17:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey 9th, I think it would be useful to have all the various warning type templates with brief descriptions in one place, and since you use them, do you know of any one place where they are? Yes, it is quite fine for you to lol at this sysop for not knowing. I meander around and do the best I can. --Degenret01 10:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Awesome, pretty much along the lines of what I've been thinking. Which template for which type offence, like that. I'll be more than happy to help push it after you propose it since your doing the work. It is much appreciated. And there is a worlds difference between the chuckle at a fellow human vs the laughter of disrespect. If I can provide a few chuckles here and there I figure I'm doing a good thing. --Degenret01 23:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me?
Hello. I am 16:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC). I play runescape as a free player. I was wondering what some good money-making monsters (aside from hill giants and flesh crawlers,) that I could train on. I am level 42 combat, but not a pure. However, I am only level 5 range. I am about 35 melee and 42 magic. I have defence 30, but only wear mith armour. Can you help me? Thanks, 16:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC). P.S. Im going for the drops, not xp. Thanks, (again) -- 23:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC). P.S.S. Please sign my guestbook while you're there! 23:54, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikia Post reporting
Thanks for the heads-up on the Wikia post article. Are you assigning article topics, or should I come up with my own article idea? Is there a story list somewhere I can check to see what everyone else is writing on? 02:09, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

When should I turn it in? What is my due date? 17:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I just posted my article on missing randoms "RuneScape:WikiGuild/Proposals/RS Newspaper/RuneScape Wiki Post/Articles" here. I posted the entire article here "RuneScape:WikiGuild/Proposals/RS Newspaper/RuneScape Wiki Post/April/Articles/Article" here. Let me know if I didn't do this right or if you need something else.

Maybe I posted it in the wrong spot, but what I wrote was not a news article but a essay on the missing randoms. Perhaps it is better categorized as an opinion piece?

Sorry to hear my writing is "unaceptable."

 * Check through all the user talk templates here. I think they have some there that you didn't have on your CVU temp page. -- 23:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you wanted me to do this, but I added two "blocked" templates at the bottom of the page. Hope you don't mind. -- 01:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe not two weeks, but in the future, I might go for another. :) 01:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Adminship: A Popularity Contest?

By Soldier 1033

We are very fortunate here at the wiki because the community decides everything, and the community also gives our administrators powers. However, lately, I have noticed that RfAs and RfFs have been more about the “perks” and less about the actual administrative duties. Don’t get me wrong, though; there is nothing wrong with wanting to become an administrator. Heck, even I wanted to become one for a little while before my RfA, but here’s the catch: people want to become administrators just for the sake of saying that they have some sort of “power” even when they will have none. If you want to become an administrator because you want to do more to prevent vandalism, go for it. If you want to become an administrator because you want to impress your friends, you shouldn’t go for it.

The RfA and RfF processes weren’t always like this. In fact, I hadn’t really noticed much of a chance up until several months ago. The candidate overview page is now almost always full of nominations, sometimes full of people that rarely edit the wiki.

I have never and never will object to someone being given administrative privileges, regardless of whether or not I supported their RfA; however, if they do not understand why they are being given these privileges then they should be considering that on their own.

In my honest opinion, the way to end this “popularity contest” is to show people what being an administrator/forum administrator is really like. It’s not fun and games, unless you consider staying up late and dealing with a computer program that is built to wreak havoc or reverting edits made by contributors that decided to randomly change the prices of items to “99999999999” or some to add some random obscene phrase. Administration is a responsibility; administration is about setting a positive example for others to follow; administration is not about popularity.

RSWNP
Hi Enigma. I was wondering, do I need to write anything else for the newspaper or am I good? Currently, I have written an editorial and a short article. 23:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, so I really am one of the lead editors? I thought so, but I never took it seriously. Okay then. :P   14:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I was told by Telos that I was supposed to be making a comic. I will not be able to make one in time. Can I do one for the next paper instead?

Cheers! 17:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

RE:Crap...
I am sorry that we released the paper on April 1st, I just felt I don't feel the paper is ready yet ether, so I am giving you 1 week  to finish the paper to satisfaction. Good luck, -- Newspaper Jack 01:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

P.S. I think that really shouldn't just decide that the paper isn't finished, it is a community project and you should probably should ask the community if they think the paper isn't ready to be released. Hoping I dont seem rude, Jack Spiral1

Hi

Was rollback really necessary? Seemed like a good faith edit to me. 00:10, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So you simply undo the edit. You're only supposed to use rollback for obvious vandalism. We have the undo button for good faith edits. 00:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No problemo. We all make mistakes from time to time. ^_^ 00:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Abusing
how was I abusing anything. I only changed the content because of my own knowledge. I had gotten the shield left half and cadantines at banshees. Also, I only changed the first sentence of the banshee site because it lacked the fact that you can wear a slayer helm there. so please tell me how i abused anything. I thought the point of this site was to help others gain the best amount of knowledge possible.

Alpha Asylum


 * Agreed, I see no sign of vandalism. Also won't assume good faith fit here? 06:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for replying. I just thought you were thinking he was vandalizing is all, but you looked at it in a different point of view. 23:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Enigma could you release the paper today, the wikia's birthday seems to be a good day to release it. P.S. Could you remove the spam story, thanks. Keep up the good work -- Newspaper Jack 02:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Adding Transparencies to Images
Hello. I was just wondering how to add transparencies to images. Can you let me know? 15:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I need your help
Hey enigma,I'm trying to figure out how to use an image on the wiki as a link to another page on the wiki. I tried with someone else idea several times,but it didnt work. I saw you do it before,so I thought you would know how,can you help me? thanks anyways. -- 15:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh,well,thanks anyways,and by the way,I saw your new sig,d you think you could make me a saradomin bunny image like that? I would do it,but my computer is so old,I don't have anything for editing images =P -- 14:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:
No problem. I know the feeling. ;) 02:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Ooh god
Did I see a small, fluffy bunny in your signature?--. 18:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I need your opinion.
I've been pondering this for a while, but should I/we create a template for my stories that has all the chapters listed for that particular story so it's even easier to navigate? I know you have some experience in creating templates (I'm horrible at it, I tried and failed miserably). If you think this is a good idea, just leave me a message. Or we could think of something different. 00:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I see what you're talking about, I thought he was talking about The Godsword, not your story. I just assumed he labeled the section wrong. I'll try and clear things up with him. I didn't intend to take credit for your story, I just misinterpreted his reply. I'm really sorry for letting this happen too. 11:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I love it :D I think I need to start practicing with making templates now. I'm glad we got that incident behind us, I didn't want to lose such a great friend. Oh if you haven't read For Who Am I? yet please do so, I really want to know what you think. 19:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Nacho's edits
Please do not tell others how to edit. There is nothing wrong with how Nacho edits, and the last thing that should be happening is someone discouraging anyone who puts effort into this wiki. Thanks. Christine 14:10, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Your quickness of edits

 * 1) 1 is correct.

Theres no real difference in 10 edits in 1 minute or 10 edits spread over a time period, if you're having trouble there are many options to change on the recent changes page.

Show last 50 | 100 | 250 | 500 changes in last 1 | 3 | 7 | 14 | 30 days Hide minor edits | Show bots | Hide anons | Hide users | Hide my edits | Hide grouped recent changes

Changing the show last to a higher number allows more edits to be viewed. I wouldn't hide minor edits, anons, your own edits or grouped recent changes as this filters out the majority of valdalism. Hide users is a useful setting if you are looking for purely IP based vandalism.

I will edit how I wish, but thanks for your comments. 14:16, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
