Loot or item
No one has ever told me why, but I suspect we're "supposed to use" loot on big pages like the patch ones because it loads faster than item. You can ask Gourra or some other crazy contributor if you really want to know. 6:07 AM, 10 Oct 2009 (EDT)

Gift of the Naaru coefficients
The coefficients you put in for GotN in Spell_power_coefficient are flipped from the coefficients in Gift_of_the_Naaru, and I'd expect SP to have a better coefficient than AP.

I don't have a Draenei, so can't test.

Also, "does cannot receive bonus" is a bit awkward.

 * It was a copy / paste error. I intended to list the AP coefficient first in the attack power coefficient article and the SP coefficient first in the spell power coefficient, the spell power coefficient article has been corrected. I've replaced the notes with "A single casting of Gift of the Naaru does not receive bonus healing from both attack power and spell power, instead, each casting uses the higher of the two bonuses.", which should be clearer. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:50, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Omitting any leading "The"s
If you disagree with the policy, you can vote to change it, as it has been questioned by some here.-- 22:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * I made the move because I couldn't find any naming conventions in the manual of style and wasn't aware of the naming policy. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:20, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Hello there...
To the "Editors who don't know why they're using the speedy deletion tag probably shouldn't be using it" part,... it was me adding the speedy-tag, I guess he (Coobra) thought I knew what I was going. Well, apparently not; Long story short. TherasTaneel (talk) 04:02, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a big deal, deletions are easily reversible around here. Thanks. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:16, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Gallywix
First mentioned in Lands of Mystery? What page? 00:16, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have the book, but the Bilgewater Port article says it's on page 76. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 00:26, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't. See where the reference is connected to. 00:29, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, thanks for fixing my mistake. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 01:05, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion is desired
Hey, we're pretty much settled on leaving Wikia, but I wanted to see if you had any input. Thanks. -- 01:19, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

archaeology light ranges
Have you actually found that Yellow (or green for that matter) indicates a longer range, on larger sites? I have not seen this to be so. On the other hand, Red can indicate anything from it's minimum distance to the absolute far side of the dig site. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:24, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed extremely short yellow ranges while using an archaeology addon which measures distance from the last survey point in some of the smaller dig sites such as Terror Wing Path. I'm also pretty sure I also read about it on mmo-champion, curse or wowhead. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 01:21, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks like it doesn't depend on the size of the dig site. According to a comment on wowhead's archaeology page, the light colour indicates the distance to the find in 3-D space. In other words, if there's a find at the bottom of a cliff or tower and you survey from the top of it, you could get a yellow light because it's 50 yards down. If this is true, it would explain why I've been getting both yellow and red lights for finds in the 70 to 80 yard range. I'll try to test this out the next time I'm at an appropriate dig site. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
