It's ok. 17:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yay, My new signature! It's got a Kandarin twist to it.  J  amesadams  7''' talk 05:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Herbalore
If you need an idea for herbalore, kill the chaos druids in Taverly dungeon. Also, save all herbs you collect enen if you cant id them for later. Atlandy 15:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

God wars dungeon
I know it is in a future update, but I dont think we are creating pages for future things. Atlandy 14:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Help!
I'm too dignified to give up. ;) 19:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice work
Nice work on those edits. Ever need any help let me know. I love to help people for the good of the wiki :D, 06:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

City Images
No, they're not squished up. 190/200px is just the right size, it keeps it from getting to small or too big. 15:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Cities
Sounds good, maybe we start with falador then? i've already done a transportation article.-- 12:10, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we use this as the template, and delete the stuff that isnt in certain cities

* 1 Introduction * 2 Entrances * 3 Transportation * 4 Banks * 5 Points of Interest * 6 Stores * 7 NPCs * 8 Quests * 9 Inns * 10 Park (Falador only) * 11 Surroundings * 12 Wordplay (if needed) * 13 Events (only certain places) * 14 Miscellaneous * 15 Music

look ok? -- 12:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick question, which city are you working on?-- 12:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Kandarin is good, i've just done Rellekka-- 12:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at Falador and Lumbridge-- 12:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Monobook and Wiki Clan
There was a discussion back in the June or something about changing the monobook settings, and we decided that it was fair that if someone wanted the RuneScape-Like monobook settings, they could set it themselves on their personal monobook instead of set it for EVERYONE else. Also, the wiki clan no longer exists. 20:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Your pictures
I noticed you're uploading new maps, but these are quite low graphical quality IMO... Could you use the PNG format, which is lossless, instead of JPG ? 07:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the pictures that were used before you uploaded your versions were in PNG and took only around 200 KB, so I suppose you can achieve the same size, since the versions you upload are a bit smaller (because you remove anything that doesn't belong to the city/region). If your concerns are about the "over 150KB" warning, well, the older versions were "too big" too. 11:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm... yes ? ;) (unless they are like 1MB each, but I don't think it's the case ;)) 13:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah... this is quite unexpected... 2MB in PNG for such a small picture... well, then I suppose you should stick with jpg but chose a little bit higher quality. 05:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Userally-Kandarin
You're making your life complicated ;) See how I edited your template by using the Userbox template, I think you'll find it much easier. 08:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Main income
I was reading your user page and noticed your message about having no steady income. When I first got my farming to 32, I made money farming ranarr seeds.

Using super compost and magic secateurs (which are gained during the A Fairy Tale Part I quest (you do not have to finish the quest), each herb seed gives an average of 6 herbs per seed (about 10-15% die, but those that survive yeald 5-14 herbs).

The ranarr seeds are currently 'gp each on the exchange, and the grimy ranarr sell for 'gp each on the exchange. This gives an average profit of around 0gp per herb patch. Even taking out cost of runes for teleporting to patches, this is still good profit.

Even if you were to only check all 4 herb patches once a day (pick herbs and planting next seed), you could have a steady income of about 70-80k a day. Note that the profit is average and will vary from day to day depending on seed deaths and yields.

Without the magic secateurs (but still using super compost), the average herb yield is 5.5 per patch, which would give still a profit of around 0gp per herb patch.

Thought I'd just share, just in case you were looking for a steady income. 11:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You can probably do the fairy tale quest, the problem is more likely to be needing to do the Lost City quest that is a required to start the fairy tale one. They will probably be easier when you get to 43 prayer so you can use protect from melee. 21:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think 43 prayer is really needed for Lost City, since the spirit tree can be easily maged from a safe spot. Just bring decent food for the zombies.  21:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Bot
I am not experienced in making bots, but I believe it requires some level of programming. Pointy has an active bot, perhaps he will be able to help you more than I can.

Once you get your bot operating successfully, we can have a community discussion about it. If it gains a general consensus, a staff member will be able to give it bot status. Dtm142 00:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The first thing you need to decide is what programming language you're going to use - if you don't have much experience with writing software you might find a bot a bit difficult as a starting project as it can be very fiddly to get exactly right.


 * If you're already comfortable with a particualr programming language a good starting resource is Creating a bot. Let me know if you want more information. Pointy 12:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Transparency
Actually, I'm just clicking "Random page" and finding non-transparent images. I'd love to see a bot mark images as transparent automatically, but I didn't know how to do it, so I just resorted to doing it myself. My simple little bots only do a few tasks right now, like categorize jpegs based on their extention, and categorize images for PointyBot. Although I am working on one to revert the combat calculator on the combat level page back to default values, nothing too complex. Good luck with yours. 07:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, with creating a bot, I recommend going from the framework, Wikipedia's Creating a bot article has a few. I actually use Basic Bot for my bots. I tried to create my first bots from scratch, and it didn't work out very well. Also, use the API rather than trying to get data out of the html code, it's much quicker, and easier. Also, when testing the bot, only run it on one or two edits, shut it down, and then validate those edits. I made the mistake of running nearly 50 edits when I first loaded Nq2hBot2, and all those edits were wrong, and I had to rebuild the bot to remove those edits, and continue its task. I know a little bit of Java, if you're going with that route, and a good amount of PHP, so I could probably help with bots in those areas, and I know Skill has a java based IRC bot, he could probably help you out too. Pointy and wowbagger also have bots, so you could also ask them if you have questions I cant' answer. 07:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry, didn't think about that. I'm not adding any more for tonight, but if you leave the template, and just upload the transparent images, I can just rollback my edits for you, as I've got the one click rollback button enabled. 07:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Bots
From what I can tell, you're trying to run PHP from the command line. Basicbot is designed to run from a webserver interface, through a browser. This means you would have to install a web server on your computer as well, then put the files in the server directory, and access them using this link: http://localhost/filename.php.

If you're not comfortable setting up a web server, I can offer you a little hosting solution, as I have a 300mb bot hosting account specifically set up. I'll give you 100mb, far more than enough (Nq2hBots 1-4 only use up about 0.5mb) That way, the files wouldn't need to be on your machine or anything, and you can access it from any computer. 03:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

If you're going to be the only ony using your bot, you can set up a home server quite easily using XAMPP. Or you can install Apache and PHP manually, I made a tutorial for this a while ago. 08:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

...Why would I have to add in my input when I'm the one who started the vote/discussion of which you speak? -.- Christine TalkFlickr 23:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Transparent images
Something should be done about it eventually. 03:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Shop image policy
It looks fine. Maybe some headings could be added in or something to give it some structure, but other than that it's great. Would do it myself but I only have a few minutes on the computer right now. Skill 15:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The main problem I can see is that relative location would have to remain its own template, as not all locations use the city infobox. Skill 04:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Stronghold of Security Floors
I want to ask how to add transparency to images that are not transparent yet, and also, if the Pages "Vault of War", "Catacomb of Famine" and the other floors of the Stronghold of Security are deleted, because they once had individual pages for each floor of the Stronghold. --Kakashi hatake34 05:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Needed?
There was some discussion Quests talk page about using a table. I did notice the changes being done, but think I'll wait to see what it looks like when completed.

It will be a bit squished on small screens, but it might still be more readable than the current page. The only variation would be to use images for the QP and skills rather than words (see the talk page).

I was going to let the editor finish (to avoid edit conflicts) and then maybe try out with images to see if any better. 10:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Shop image proposal
I think it's a good proposal. What you need to do is start a discussion on the talk page for people to add their supports/opposes/comments, then after a period of time, depending on the voting and comments, it could be made into a policy. 10:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Rollback Rights
Your edit history looks good. May you now clear vandalism with a single click. H YENASTE 17:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Templates Page
Ive forgotten what the main template page is titled as, the on that has miscellaneous templates and others.Like the one where it says which god you follow in runescape. Also if have any discontinued items. Noob Protector etc. The examples are in my user page, which i have updated. For example: you have the templates in your user page, the boxes that are coloured, say 'this user owns a snowglobe'. oh, and about transparency, i have photoshop and i et the hang of it. --Kakashi hatake34 09:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
When moving pages (such as with Hunt for Surok), please use the "Move" button at the top. Don't just paste the contents to the new page, as the page history and any options set on the old title won't go to the new title. If you can't move the page to the new title because it already exists, ask an admin to delete the title you wish to move to, or place   on the page you want. I've also reverted your move/redirect, as "Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok" is the correct name, as mentioned on the main runescape site. -- 16:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

New Messages
I stumble across new ,messages whenever i come to anyuan753's User Page, hes been fooling people to see who he fools apparently. Well, i stumbled across it about 5 times and people have been reporting it on his talk page.--Kakashi hatake34 13:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Monaco (or whatever your header was, which I forgot XD)
Thanks, I hope people see it in the Yew Grove. I've just taken a screenshot of a normal page and I'm about to post it, if you want to look at it. Christine TalkFlickr 00:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

your user page typo
I just figured you might want to know I think you have a typo. "trying to remove all transparent images and replace them with transparent ones" I figure one of these words transparent is meant to be non transparent or something--Degenret01 06:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sea
I've moved the Sea to Southern Sea. The Northern Sea and Lunar Sea articles look like they need some work, and maybe even need merging. I'm not sure I understand the real difference between the Northern Sea and the Lunar Sea. 10:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Easter page
I like it. I'll check with a couple of the other admins first though - I've not been very active lately so I don't want to just wade in unannounced with a new main page update. Pointy 12:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Tenti pineapple
Yeah I was trawling recent changes and saw your edits to it so I added in a little more :). It's been a very long time since I did the quest myself, and I think it's had a makeover since then, but if you select the eat option does it actually allow you to eat it? I vaguely remember a message popping up to say that I shouldn't eat it in case it was lost, or something to that effect. I checked Rune Tips' item database, there wasn't much there but it had it listed as 'non-edible' so that backs up my guess.

I'll leave a note on the talk page asking for someone to check it, although talk page messages are not very effective :S, so maybe if you know anyone who's actually doing the quest you could ask them. If not, don't sweat it too much, it's not as though a Tenti pineapple is a hugely important item within the RS world :p.

Regards, 14:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Categorising images
Hey, there are lots of images uncategorised, and I wanted to set to work getting them all done, but there seems no way to do it, short of downloading every single one, and re-uploading it, which is a very inefficient way of doing it.

I wanted to know how you are meant to do it please.

I'm not too sure how to check this page, so if you could answer on my talk, that would be great.

Thanks a lot Fizziwig2006 19:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Kingdom maps
I looked at the file sizes for the two I remember replacing (Al Kharid and Arandar), and the PNG one for Al Kharid was actually a lot smaller. The Arandar PNG was slightly larger, but I don't think saving 10KB is worth a loss in quality like that. The images are sized down in the infobox on the server side, anyway, so I'm not sure how much of a difference the two formats really makes in terms of loading time. PNG is probably preferable despite its slightly larger size, IMO, but I'd ask a few more people first. Skill 19:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

D2H.PNG
You can revert the image to its old state. Then the background must be OR white OR transparent.

But the result is... Its smaller?

Thanks!

Supporting this
Chicken, I just don't see how something that happens in-game should affect us here on the wiki. If i go in game, found you, and called you nub or something, it would be ok to take admin action against me here on the wiki? No way man, does not compute. Doesn't really matter since I get along with everyone (I think : ))I'm just curious to how you think it's ok. This is just for discussional purposes, not starting flame war/arguement. Just kinda bored ATM. :) --Degenret01 08:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:Monaco.css
Thanks Chicken. I just added a link to the YG page in the current discussion about a new Monaco theme, so if you have any comments, feel free to add your 2 cents.

Re:Transperent: Up, down

River Dougne
Hey,

In regards to this edit, I was wondering if you'd found anything that verifies that the River was named after the town and not the other way round. I noticed the article a while back and had a hunt for info in the knowledge base about the river, but I couldn't find much. The other main river in RS obviously has a town named after it (Lumbridge -> bridge on the river Lum) and I was wondering if this would be the case for Ardougne too. Regards, 15:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, sounds like a plan. For the "longest River in RuneScape", the only mention that JaGeX seem to have ever given to it was in that one postbag issue. =S

RE:Wait!

RE:King/Monarch/Royalty
I think out of those options 'Monarchs' probably sounds the best and is the closest to being 'all-encompassing' in terms of being able to list all the leaders within RS. Let me know what you think. If you still want Royalty deleted I am happy to oblige. Cheers, 13:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey chicken7, do you want some hundreds of extra edits? Well you could get them from me =)

How? I changed a template &rarr; template:Infobox Item. I added the equipment field. So, at every item there must come > |equipable=Yes or No

Re: God Logos

 * Those logos? If so, then you can get them right off the God Letters on the Knowledge Base. However, I'm pretty sure Jagex has rules against taking pictures right off their website, so it's probably not allowed. 06:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, those logos. Those look like they were made just for that site, and I'm not finding them on the RuneScape site with the god pictures, so the safest bet would be to not copy them, and make our own. 06:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't say I'm great with paint etc. but could I suggest that (for Sara and Zammy at least) you might be able to use the detailed view of the symbols that can be found in the GE database: here & here. I'm thinking that even if we do make our own symbols that they aren't going to look that great. The detailed view of the symbols look more professional imo.

Is that Kandarin crest for real? Because I don't see it in any article. The only place I can find it is on your signature. 06:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, so is it a real item?
 * Ok thanks! I'm not a member, but I will be pretty soon. I would like to have a shield like that, but a different crest though. 07:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

User Talk
As I am new at editing and generally only edit while at work.. When I revert vandalism, is it best to report it in the CVU, just revert it, or revert it and leave the same message you just left? Thanks in advance. Karlis 02:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:Exchange notice
'Fraid I'm not knowledgable enough in the ways of wikia to achieve what you're looking for, however I think I've seen something like it before, so it's probably possible. Try chatting to one of the other admins, they might know what they are doing a little better. Cheers, 12:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Leaving and Subpages
Just leave them. If I ever come back, I might use them. Bye, -- 23:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Erm.
I have no clue. I think it's most likely a fake, it doesn't have the looks of the other images. It should probably be deleted, but I'll leave that up to you. I haven't been on the wiki in awhile, so I don't exactly know the policy for that kind of thing. Personally, I'd say delete, but I'll leave it up to you. Oh and I ate my userpage. 14:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Your userpage has lots of flavours. Mine was bland, all black and white :P. 14:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I have a question.
Hello, I just joined this wiki last night. I tried to edit my user page, So i put up a picture of a set of Guthix Blessed Dragonhide. I logged in today and I found out that you had deleted it because it was a personal image. Can you please explain why you deleted it, and how it is a personal image?

Thank you for your time. Stalfos212

Vandlism
Hi Chicken7, can you please revert vandalism done by 67.181.55.103 to the armour article. Thanks, 09:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

H.a.m logo
Good day, your adminship. :-) Can I ask you to undo a move at H.a.m logo?  This article was moved to "H.A.M. logo", but in fact it was correct the way it was.  I have explained the reasoning on the talk page.  Many thanks.  :-)   10:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Equa leaf
Hi. :-) Could you move Equa leaf to its correct location, which is Equa leaves (the in-game name of the item).  I can't so it myself.  Many thanks.  :-)   17:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Pages to delete
Can you delete 2 of my subpages? They're the ones titled "Userboxes" and my "to-do list". You can find them on my subpage directory. There's a link to it on my page. And... I am using a better computer, soo I can work here on the wiki again. ^-^ Thanks! -- 02:11, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! -- 03:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Protection
Please don't protect my userpage. I'm not blocked, am I? I really don't care if it might get vandalized, it's my userpage and I deserve to edit it freely. This account is a legitimate sockpuppet of Blankothe3rd and won't commit vandalism. I promise Put vandal here 12:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * WTF! Did you create an account with the example userpage! If so, I'll block you for an innapropriate username. Lol thats funny. 13:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.
Thanks for blocking that account. Good move. Put on another note, why don't you semi protect it? Do you think it's fair that a user page that shouldn't be protected be protected greater than the main page? Seems like some ol' bullshit. http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/6032/bt3sw5.png Done whoozy! 07:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

i'm curious
which wiki skin do you use? 01:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * so you've seen it, the non-transparent logo, pretty much any theme other than the default have background colours that accent that. As you know I tried generating some interest in the yewgrove to update the logo and it just died. What would it take to actually change it? 16:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * About that custom monobook... is it a .css or what? -- 06:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll try it. Oh and you might wanna check out the cvuid. Its full of vandals. -- 06:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Where do I save it to? I can't figure it out. -- 06:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, I thought I had to keep the word "carbon" in it. Thanks, -- 21:03, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

lol, why am i suddenly thinking about KFC? 11:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Transparent Logo
If you look, this Image:Suggested new Wiki logo.png|version of the RS Wiki logo is transparent and shadowed. If you like I'll do the shadow transparency to the current version. 08:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that the transparent logo looks a bit better, and would also look nice on the welcome messages put on new user's talk pages because there will be no white border around them.


 * Now I'm having second thoughts, did I do right to put it in the Yew Grove like I did? Or should I have put it in RS:RFC? I'm thinking it should be classified as wide spread since the logo is on every page and on the welcoming templates, however it is only a single file (or pair). Questioning my own self am i over-thinking this?  22:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Better click here to add a new comment code
I noticed that your click here to add a new comment button has a random textbox to the left of it, so I figured I'd share my method of making a 'click here to add a new comment' link. A similar version can be found on my talk page if you are interested in knowing how it looks on an actual page, but here is the code, slightly modified so that it has the same coloration as your current 'click here to add a new comment' link. Here is the code for it: '''[http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Bigd56&action=edit&section=new <font color="#E3B29C">Click here to add a new comment! ]'''  And this is what it looks like when on your page: '''[http://runescape.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Bigd56&action=edit&section=new <font color="#E3B29C">Click here to add a new comment! ]' I'm not saying that you HAVE'' to use this on your talk page, but I just thought I'd share it in case you want to. I suggest you preview how it will look on your talk page. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to make that text link into a button...

Re:Consensus for wiki logos

 * thank you again, 03:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You know me (somewhat) by now, i pretty much do anything and everything on a whim (cat fancy), including the minor update to the logo. Now if we could just get consensus on a favicon, lol... 13:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh i missed the wikifest too, i've been upside down with a free lance website development project along with crash courses in PHP (luckily i used to do sql 10 years ago so that was just a little bit of dusting off). I swear i'd much rather do graphic development than code (there's a reason i burned out as a software engineer, lol)... 14:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I wish they were regular courses, it's all learn-on-the-fly to make the code, what i wouldn't give to be back in college and without financial worries... 14:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * One of my favourite ways to find stuff to fix is using the Random page link. However, there were a couple of initiatives in the RS:YG that i was hoping to see the initiators follow through on. The topmost that i felt was an excellent idea was the collaboration of the week idea that Skill put forward (btw i have a hidden agenda to make sure Skill becomes UotM sometime, after all if someone as squirrelly as me can become UotM...) . Another thing i think would really help the wiki is a policy that 1) eliminates the entirely needless rotating worn equipment animations that are entirely excessively predominant and the completely redundant appearance of the same character in the same clothing . The reasons are as follows, many pages are simply edited so the the editor's vanity can be fulfilled to see his/her player avatar in the picture. If you have ever noticed I endeavour to ensure that my avatar is clothed differently and in something hopefully appropriate to whatever the image is pertaining to. (e.g. wielding quest only available trollweiss flowers in the quest cape emote image, or wearing gardening boots in the farming cape emote image). Another one that bothers me is the player dialog boxes that have the players name in red and the "click to continue" in blue. It's rather monotonous since these are constantly seen in game anyway and the players name simply violates the spirit of the ownership of material policy.
 * Those are my thoughts, btw welcome back from your wiki break. 17:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe you have access to see formerly deleted files, if so check out this sub-article that i branched from the main just due to the sheer quantity of editor vanity that felt inherent in the original article. It was so sickening that i had to (re)type the entire lot and that was after moving it off of the main page. 17:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

lol, me an admin that would be something, not sure what sort i would be, only thing i've not been able to do personally is a page move or two and that one undeletion. with power comes responsibility (not sure i'm want to grow up=Ϸ) 13:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

undeleting image(s)
Can you undelete images? There is an image that is not easily found that was wiped out by a user modifying standard article formatting of a detailed image of a non-tradeable item (perhaps the formatting was modified for the vanity of seeing a particular avatar). If you can please restore Image:Varrock armour 2 detail.png, then the article it once was contained in can be consistent with Varrock armour 1 and Varrock armour 3. Thanks, 14:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I restored it. 14:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Old Admins
Hi! =D-- 15:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, many times I'll look on the wiki and can hardly recognize it, we do have a few new admins (such as Bonziiznob) though most of them are forum admins. We've also lost some admins to inactivity or Stinko's desysoping...It's admittedly been a mixed week, but overall things have been well aside from all the wikidrama and misunderstanding of the principles behind RS:AEAE. Can't complain about how I've been treated of course, I do rather miss being a regular admin (ahh how I miss the fondness of the vandals' hatred).-- 16:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Long time no see. 16:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Returning?
Welcome back  09:09, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, from what I recall, the midi files came as a result of this discussion. At the moment, the midi files don't have their own articles but are used in their respective location articles (see Falador). That's most of my knowledge about it. 10:53, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * At the moment, I'm not too sure if Derilith was right about the midi files being 100% copyrighted by Jagex. According to Byte Master, the sample clips used must be 30 seconds long or 10% of the length of the original song, whichever is shorter. Still, if you're interested in bringing it up, I don't see why not. 11:08, September 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Chicken! Nice to seeya. I've been fairly well, doing the usual watching of us old admins going even more inactive and typical 'crat-lurking. :P How's things with you?-- 19:05, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Message of the Week
Hmm, the only thing I can think of right now is to add a tidbit about it to the end of Login server. However, maybe it would be better to restructure the login article to be about logins in general, with separate sections for the login server, login screen, and the welcome/message screen. Then the redirects would need to be added appropriately. -- 04:10, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

FIMG nomination
Hi Chicken. I need to ask you for a favour. If you're not too busy, could you go over to RuneScape:Featured images and take a look at the Ogre Enclave Crystal nomination? The nomination expires today and I would usually take action myself, but I'm a bit too involved in the discussion there, so I'd rather not. It needs to be either be closed as successful or moved to the section for extended nominations. Personally, I would move it to the extended nominations section since there is a considerable amount of opposes, but don't let that influence you, do as you see fit. Thanks. 08:04, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll ask someone else then, thanks anyway. 08:18, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Merchanting ideas
I tend to be a bargain hunter and spend time plowing through the statistics of the game and to use game knowledge to find a "sure thing" instead of trying to depend on old and tired methods. One example is with uncooked pizzas that could be turned into Anchovy pizza with a little bit of skill, and the price difference, for awhile, was a route to nearly double your money if you had some patience. That is also an example of how niche opportunities like this sometimes are fleeting and tend to fill in very quickly. You will never find these mentioned on any money make guide, or if they do show up it will be well after the profit is gone. If/when Plain pizzas ever have their price cap removed, it will be another example of such a profit area to jump on, even though at the moment it is a fools game to even try right now (nobody is selling plain pizzas at the moment except on the black market or to "friends"...*cough* RWTers and other scumbags not withstanding).

I used to do set merchanting, and I still think there is money to be made in the practice, however Jagex has really messed up the opportunity in terms of price and volume controls to the point that set merchanting is now mostly a dead art. It was also one of the few guaranteed methods of making money on the GE... even better than flipping. Actually it is really a long form of flipping as you are taking (usually) items in fairly high supply and making items that are in high demand (sets).

Day trading does work on the GE... but you have to keep your wits about you. Don't buy anything you can't afford to lose money by reselling at tomorrow's min price (aka 5% lower than it is today). In other words, don't invest more than about 30%-40% of the coin reserves that you currently have on day trading in general, and especially on one item. As you gain experience, you might want to slightly decrease your personal reserve requirements here too, but don't go too far. I've met merchants that bet the wrong way and lost most of their personal wealth in one bad move. Buy items that are on price graphs at or near the bottom of a price cycle (looking at the price charts helps here), and if trading get to "know" the items as well as you can. Read the wiki pages about how they are used, what quests may use the item in question, where the item is obtained, and what requirements it has for both use and for obtaining it. Obviously items harder to obtain but easy to use (most dragon armor, as an example) is typically valuable. You can never know too much about an item and how it is used... make sure that you can use the item yourself and get to understand it on a personal level too!

If you are actively merchanting, you will find a "natural" rhythm to how a particular item can be purchased or sold. This is a hard quality to explain, as it depends on understanding other people and their motivations (aka knowledge of how the item is used and the kinds of players using it). Some items tend to have rhythm of having players dump huge numbers on the market at once, and then have players simply buying a few at a time in steady demand. That is a situation merchants absolutely love, as the dumpers tend to sell at min price (they lack the patience to sell to the group of regular customers who buy in small numbers). The opposite is also good, where a bunch of folks sell just a few items at a time (typically lower-level players looking for some quick cash) but a few players buy in huge numbers and want them NOW! The GE price controls tend to be really bad for this sort of merchanting, (aka removal of the price controls would improve the trading situation here and avoid RWT rather than encouraging it) as you need to watch the 4 hour turn around time from the last purchase to when you can resell the goods you have.

One other last item to remember for merchants: Don't mistake a lack of sales due to "artificial" price controls imposed on you by Jagex to be a reflection of the market. If you just purchased a bunch of items and nobody is buying them from you... have patience to wait the 4 hours to get them to start selling. If you are about ready to log out and "have a life" outside of the game, this is a particularly good time to set up sales that may take a bit of patience. On the next time you log back in, you will find a nice tidy profit waiting for you. Make the GE work for you than against you in this manner.

I hope this quick little primer on Merchanting helps out :) --Robert Horning 11:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

 * I might just forget about it since if I did suggest it then I would probably very quickly be sucked into a long debate over the most trivial thing and I will go all weird again. 10:26, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Music Thing
Grats on the acceptation of the project!

Now I simply have one thing to ask: How many songs were released with the new quest ? I can't look since I haven't done it yet and don't want the surprise to be ruined and I need the number of songs in that quest to know what number other quests were (total amount of music tracks available at time of release?).

-Thanks in advance

Sorry
Heey, Thanks for telling me that, I really should of read through the policies before I started, but I'll bolden and add a stub to every page I create and as many as I can to those that dont have it, If that makes any sense  10:43, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha yeah you're right, as my Mum says, "Learn from your mistakes" . And it's a bit boring reading through those policies . I'd of thought all the music track pages had been done by now, with all the people who put their names down to help, but theres not been many made.  10:51, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Community Portal
I agree that it could use a facelift. Maybe a Main Page-esque look that is editor-centric? We can possibly have a list of (random) stubs to address this thread, and perhaps sections for other types of articles or images needing help. Maybe a section for recruiting projects/wikiguilds and announcements to important policy changes or other various things relevant to editors. I know Wikia recently tried to address some of this with My home and WikiStickies but I don't think it's very effective. I'll volunteer to help create our own CP though. -- 16:02, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Facebook
Hey, I have NO interest in making a facebook connection with anyone. Only contact we will have is on the wiki :D. I tested it with a different page, and when it was created it asked me if I wanted to become a fan of it. It also didn't show up on my pages when I checked, so im 99.99% sure it doesn't show up on your list. To get to the page, what i do is: Search for 'pages', click the thing that says 'did you mean ...'. At the top click the link that says 'Pages I Admin' and click the wiki. Check it out and see if you like it so far. Add what you want. Your now on the admin list. 02:16, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, should a page be made for request for facebook admin or something? 02:20, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I was thinking, for the time being a sysop has to request it (because they are already trusted) until we can get a request page up. Once we get a page up, then the community can decide whether a user is trusted or not. Also if we can get that HTML stuff up, that would be epic. When do you think we should make it live though? 02:41, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

sock puppetry vs multiple accounts
I have read our policies quite a bit, and while sock puppetry for trying to cast multiple votes and such is addressed, I have seen nothing else to see a user may not have multiple accounts. If we have one and I've simply been unable to find it I would appreciate seeing the link so I will stop being wrong about it. Thanks man.--Degenret01 12:39, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Even if they use them both I don't see a problem, as long as they don't try voting or anything with both. Heck, if we pass the model viewer thread I think uploaders should use a diff account (just to be super safe, I don't really think there would be an issue). But I do see that could lead to real sockpupeting, I doubt people on this wiki are like that. Mostly. And even a rule preventing it wouldn't stop it. Maybe we should formulate something, IDK. I don't feel up to another big YG thread right now lol.--Degenret01 13:25, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Self-explanatory! :D 10:57, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Audio tracks and fair use
This is a significant enough issue that perhaps I should post this in a more public place, but the simple answer is:

No, this is blatantly illegal for us to upload music tracks onto this wiki for playback, including in articles about that music.

While I appreciate the British law on this point, it is American law that governs the operation of this wiki. Well, that is a point also hotly debated among some wiki users in multiple places, but I certainly don't think that should be something in policy to tell people it is legal. Thanks for pointing that policy out. --Robert Horning 02:51, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * As for why American law applies here, the server for the Runescape Wiki is located in the USA. St. Petersburg, Florida to be precise, although some of the server operations may be moving or have moved to San Francisco.  For legal action to take place that would involve a copyright lawsuit, it would have to involve the American court system, so American law would apply.  British courts simply don't have legal jurisdiction over a computer server in the USA.  Certainly an individual contributor might have legal action against them, and for UK citizens/subjects that participate with the development of this wiki, they may personally be subject to UK law as well.  It gets sort of ugly on what laws directly apply, and I'll add that for myself and many of the participants on this wiki (although not all of them, I'm fully aware) are also Americans (such as myself) so it sort of reinforced the jurisdiction of American courts for those actions.  Most wiki communities try to go with a standard that applies in almost all countries of the participants... a sort of "lowest common denominator" to steer well within the law.


 * Attempting to interpret the law meaning we can use whatever copyrighted material exists in any possibly way is not fair use, it is simply disregarding that copyright even exists in the first place. There are some limits on fair use, and we need to stay well within those limits and not be pushing on the edges of them.  Uploading whole songs is not just pushing bounaries, but ignoring that those boundaries even exist in the first place.  --Robert Horning 04:38, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

so?....
so, what is the final plan on this? Where, if, and when will it be? 03:27, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Foreign signatures
So, I was just messing around, and I came up with some Japanese alternatives to my signature that I've used for over two years now. I'm considering to keep one as a backup in case of an April Fool's Day coming up or something, but I'm stuck between which text to use.

I've made the following six modifications:







ちわふれん十二







(Chiwafuren12 in Hiragana)







チワフレン十二







(Chiwafuren12 in Katakana)







ちあふれん十二







(Chiafuren12 in Hiragana)







チアフレン十二







(Chiafuren12 in Katakana)







ちわ







(Chiwa in Hiragana)







ちあ







(Chia in Hiragana) Do you have any preferences out of the ideas shown? 07:40, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually like the last two because of how succinct they are. I have, however, pretty much decided that I wouldn't use a signature with Katakana text [(Hiragana's so much prettier)], and I'm stuck with having it be "wa" or a simple "a". 08:18, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh. 08:26, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Community Portal
Sure. I could work on the layout and formatting. No offence, but your current sandbox version really needs some work. Are you planning to introduce changes to the content as well, or are we just reusing the links from the current one? 06:56, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Got a draft of the community layout here. It is still a work on progress, but it is mostly complete. I'll admit that it is fairly longer than the current one, yours, or even Tollreach's. The design is unique, however, and is generally more useful for users compared to just having a bunch of links.


 * I used NPCs as decorative images. Most NPCs are related to each section, and I think these NPC images are much more "accessible" than item images. It would be nicer if we had animated NPC images, but I couldn't find any such image. I've also included numbers for some of the outstanding tasks. For example, there are X number of images requiring transparency, Y number of articles requiring merging, etc.


 * What do you think? 04:19, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we can add some colours.


 * Events and WikiGuilds are in my to-do list, but I'm not so sure about the noticeboard thing. The thing is I want to keep the Community Portal cleanly formatted and bug free, and adding the noticeboard would mean allowing other users to edit the page more often. Maybe a subpage or a different project page for that? I'm also thinking we should include Events as a subpage, or a project page by itself. We could combine admin requests with this noticeboard thing, as both serve similar purposes...


 * I have some ideas for the birthday thing, but I haven't tested it out yet. Give me some time to work on it, and if it doesn't work, then we'll do it your way.  05:35, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

RSWP
Hi, Chicken. You expressed interest in helping with the RSWP, and there is a position that needs to be filled as the Reporter. Your job as the reporter would be to write about new update from the point of view of the in-game character as opposed to you yourself who is playing the game. For example, with the creation of the Orb of Oculus, the reporter would talk about how it was recently invented, it's capabilities, and interview that Farque guy who sells it. If that does not sound interesting to you, we are quite short on fan fiction, and if even that does not sound interesting to you, we need some kind of thing for the other stuff section that is not an interview. Never the less, all content is welcome. 00:12, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
