User talk:Calebchiam

I have archived my talkpage again.

Good job
I must confess that I have underestimated you. You have shown the ability to advocate reason without fear of peer pressure. In my world, this is an act of heroism. Thank you! 19:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Unblocking a known troll isn't reasonable, especially when all he does is BLAM admins. As for the "reasoning" that you want, Caleb, I was told by people in-game on the CC and on IRC that I should reduce the block to a month. Do keep in mind that he's going to get an infinite block regardless of circumstances if he slips up again after his month-long one is over. 15:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Got an archive for my talk page now! Thanks Calebchiam! -- 12:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Agreed. http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8426/thumbsup.gif 14:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

It was epic. I am totally proud. That post is sure to convince anyone who is on the fence. It was one of the best uses of evidence to support a position that I have ever seen on this wiki. Not including, of course, my own. :D Congratulations. I am truly amazed at the effort you put into that, and I applaud you. Immensely. Christine 14:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello. I'm Ameobea10. I was just interested that you were muted from playing before u were 13. don't tell anyone, but im only 11! Thanks, 23:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Just to let you know, anyone can read Caleb's talk page... :x 11:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Welcome Back
I might be thinking about it :p. I never know what might come up in real life though D:. But for now, at least for this morning, I'm back ^^. 11:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Eeee. You're a lot more confident than I am <_<. I never know how long to block people :x. 11:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh. I better tread lightly around you <_<. 11:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

User:W O C E
have a look at him. I welcomed him, he blanked my user welcome page and moved his talk.--11:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering
Why did you unblock IP 195.92.163.130? Please tell me how you believe his edit in Dragon axe is in good faith? 12:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh ok, and btw, I didn't notice I put "Dragon aze" =P I'm such an idiot sometimes. 12:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I forgot my siggy! Did I mention I'm an idiot? Apparently, I'm an idiot and forgetful! =P 12:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Newspaper
Hi. :-) I just wanted to query a change you made to Newspaper, specifically to the disambiguation link at the top.  The change you made replaced a standard template with text, and replaced the link to RuneScape:WikiGuild/Proposals/RS Newspaper/RuneScape Wiki Post with the word "this", which is not so good for a link.  Normally we avoid using piped links at all in disambiguation, though in this case it may be excusable to make it into "RuneScape Wiki Post", because of the long path.  Other than the relatively long link (which will shorten when the newspaper project is finalised and moved, presumbaly to "RuneScape:RuneScape Wiki Post"), did you have any other motivation to make the change?  I think it was perfect the way it was before, with proper use of the disambiguation template, but I will happy to discuss any improvements. I don't think it should be how it is now though. Get back to me on my talk page. ;-)  20:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Camulet image
Yep, my bad. I had just realized that it was HD and was about to change it. Thanks. 16:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

please dont revert the treasure trails modifications I make
I know there "are already articles for those", but in due respect, most of the puzzle boxes and ALL of the challenge scrolls are in response to anagrams. My reason for adding them is to reduce the need to switch between the screens. It's very helpful add-on, so please don't remove my work. 10:15, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, the reason the guide was "split up" was because it wasted time to have all parts in the same article. However, I think having to click and load seperate articles take way much longer than having anagrams connected both puzzle boxes and challenge scrolls (heck, ALL challenge scrolls are the result of anagrams!). So, by actually having a part-fusion will actually save time in the long run. That's why I made the fusion in the first place. 10:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Besides, if you don't think "its a big deal", why do you bother reverting? 10:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If the first sentence didnt make sense to you, read the following three above. Because a "few seconds" is not a big deal to you, doesnt mean it isnt a big deal for the wiki. 10:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, my aim is not to fuse every treasure trail part with everything else. I just want those connected to each other to be easily accesible on the same page. I think you misunderstand me on that point. 10:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * IMO, lag in the specific case is negliable. But since you obviously have trouble seeing my point I will let you have your way. But only because you're the admin. 11:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Let's just put it like this: I have done 100+ level 3 clue scrolls, so I know what treasure hunters want and don't want. Easy acces is one of them things that I as a treasure hunter value highly. I didn't just do it for the wiki's sake when I edited the page, I also did it for MY sake.


 * I will take a break now of about 30 min to have my lunch. See you later . 11:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * About your concerns: yes, I have seen the full treasure trails guide, and I didnt like it because it was, as you put it, too "laggy". However, my aim is not to recreate that scenario. I want instead that some of sections get a reference in the other sections, because they obviously are very connected to each other (at least, in the case of anagrams and challenge scrolls). I think it is a very practical and useful way of solving a problem, very much so because I as a treasure hunter find useful value in the modifications I make. 11:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Your proposition was not really what I had in mind. However, if that is all I get I guess I can make do. 11:54, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi :)
Nice to see another Singaporean here too! I've been using Runescape Wiki for a while, but have little experience editing pages and so on. Its fun to learn something new every day though :) Vernette 15:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Chat
Thanks for doing the redirects. I was expecting them, but didn't know when the cache would update. 07:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

IP block
Hi. :-) Can I query a block you issued to the anonymous user 121.221.73.54?  He made an edit to Kurask, which may well be inaccurate, and may even be considered vandalism, but it is (as far as I can tell) the only detrimental edit this user has made.  The user block policy says: "Blocks should generally not be used against isolated incidents of vandalism", and it seems like this should apply in this case.  A three-day block with account-creation disabled would be very frustrating for someone who may be new to the wiki and experimenting with how it works.  There is now a note on the talk page about this alleged new drop, and I wonder whether this edit was made in good faith, and (whilst further discussion may well be warranted before it is added to the article) maybe it doesn't deserve a block, even temporarily. Anyway, just wanted to mention it in case you have knowledge of this user that I don't, or motivation that I have missed. :-)  15:17, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The fact that it is unconfirmed as a drop, and that it is being discussed on the article's talk page, is grounds for it not being added to the article yet, I agree with that. However, the edit could well have been made in good faith, and I think it would have been a better approach in the first instance to change the article back, and post on the user's talk page to explain why.  Even if it is vandalism, it's still an isolated incident, and the fact remains that the policy says blocks should generally not be used against isolated incidents of vandalism.  I don't see why this should be considered an exception that warrants a block, but if I've missed something, or if I am misinterpreting the policy, let me know.  ;-)   02:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Admin query
Hi, I was just wondering about a few points about administrator rights (I am asking you as you are an admin): Cheers! 06:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What are the main uses of adminship?
 * What can admins do and not do?
 * What requirements are there to be an admin?


 * Thanks. Do you think I am ready to be an admin in terms of edit counts etc? 01:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats exactly what I wanted. Thanks a lot. I will work on getting up my edit count and anti-vandal work. 07:19, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations
Sorry for not being there, My real life friend wanted me to go GWD that failed obviously. However, we joined a mass and we I got a 1.2m split of bandos tassets while my friend kinda teleported. >.> 23:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Rollback
Glad to know that my work is being appreciated. I'll go put the request in right now. Thanks =) 13:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

"Wanteds"
Any reason why you are creating so-called "Wanted" articles which are not being linked to? 07:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think capitalised variations of articles is necessary. "A redirect is a page created specifically to take a searcher straight to another article, even without the accurate name." People rarely type using capital cases.. they usually type in lower-case variations in the Search box. And articles like "Cave Bug (Large)" and "Cave Bug (Small)" are not necessary either, as the names are not common.

See RuneScape:Redirecting for more information. 07:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

If we see lots of redlinks caused by capitalisation, we should change the links to point to the correct article. By creating additional redirect pages, we are actually encouraging links to the redirect pages rather than the actual pages.

This is something I picked up from Wikipedia:Redirect:

Any thoughts? I think we should include this into RuneScape:Redirecting. 07:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm... Yew Grove is a special case. I'm neutral on that part. 07:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Cross-namespace redirects has been controversial in Wikipedia for several reasons. See Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects to see some of the pros and cons of this type of redirects. Personally, I feel that User and RuneScape namespaces should be separate from the Main space, and not redirect to each other, except in Shortcuts.
 * Yeah. CNR should be allowed in special cases only. 08:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

5k edits!
Congratulations on your edit on this really special article! I counted backwards and your 5k edit was made here. I could be wrong, but you got 5k anyways.=P 13:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * oh wait I counted wrong..I was counting articles edits only, not the entire total edits...Let me count again. 13:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Found it! Image:Runescape randomevents surpriseexam mrmordaut.png‎. 13:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Dragon platebody...
If you've been around W2 or, have any friends, you would know the prices of the platebody are shooting down. I've had mine on lowest price for 16 hours now and it even dropped to lowest of 11.5 yesterday night. People have bought over 5-6 platebodies and now they're stuck with them. Friends of mine have even asked if I want to buy one. Large evidences that the plate is failing on the market. Now why not undo your edit because that was silly -- Deus35


 * Umm, silly? Sorry, but your theory for the price drops is not fact, just a theory. There could be many other causes such as the availability of cheaper yet good armour (Bandos chestplate). In the wiki, we aim for the information in articles to be as accurate as possible. Regards, 13:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Use something like a source, say runescape.com's Grand Exchange watcher. Now take what you've said Bandos chestplate and compare it with Dragon platebody and you'll see that Bandos chestplate has rose, and that it would not be the cheaper alternative. Please, if your talking about facts, get yours straight first. -- [[Image:Amulet_of_fury.gif‎‎|20px]]Deus35 [[Image:Skill_Capes.gif‎‎|20px]] 13:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * With no proof, it's best to leave it out. Users may check the price history of the Dragon Platebody on the Exchange:Dragon platebody article history if they wish to. 13:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't check prices of items everyday. The last time I checked the price of a Dragon platebody, it had a higher value than the Bandos chestplate. Also, fact remains that there is no real evidence for this claim. 13:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If you cannot see the evidence leading to my point, please, stop skipping school and take some marketing related classes. :) Love, -- [[Image:Amulet_of_fury.gif‎‎|20px]]Deus35 [[Image:Skill_Capes.gif‎‎|20px]] 17:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not even going to bother with you. What makes you think I even skip school? I think you're being very immature. 07:16, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
