My presence
...deserves to be noted. I've OK'ed fandyllic to remove me from the community teams; not to go around saying I'm gone and to disregard my welcome messages. Everything in the welcome messages, minus the forum notes, still applies. Better would be to modify the welcome template I used, and then re-apply it to talk pages. The Mentor 20:10, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I agree. I haven't exactly been following whats going on with the welcome messages, I guess they are putting that new template on peoples pages who had the old one? Either way the template shouldn't have a discussion going on on it since that discussing is then being spammed to everywhere the template is used, thats why I moved it to the talk page so that a real discussion can take place.  I am sorry if I offended you by moving it.  --Ralthor 20:26, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I rather wanted it substitued (-: I was originally going to just delete the template, but I thought that might spark some controversy that I don't particularily want - hence, making sure that anybody who DOES see the message, also see's that it's partially wrong. The really only relevant point in the tempalte is the the forum isn't something I have online right now, and unless I see some signifigant community interest, I won't ever have online. The Mentor 20:29, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Actually, I am not sure why they don't use the original template. I had previously removed the part about the forums on the welcome template since it was no longer applicable, so the current welcome template is fine to use.  Using the example of User_talk:Starlightblunder it appears that they are adding the new template to all the pages that had your old on (or at least that is the plan).  To be quite honest this is rather ridiculous and I can see why youmight be peeved.  Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you have tossed your welcome template on anyones page for several months so it seems rather unneeded to post to everyone who has it that you are 'no longer here for help.'  I could see if you had been recently welcoming people and then were 'gone' so that new people wouldn't get confused, but as it is now anyone with your old message has had an account for several months already.  They should just start fresh welcoming new members with the welcome template and taking over the job you were once doing.  Template should probably be removed.  --Ralthor 20:45, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * That's 2 people then, go ahead and post on the template's talk page. The Mentor 20:47, 26 April 2006 (EDT)

Interesting
Well, I'm, really here to thank Ralthor for updating the Deletion policy page, but it is interesting to run across a bit of catty discussion about some of the stuff I've been doing. Apparently, I've offended The Mentor (snort), but not enough to get some direct communication. Oh well. What am I supposed to think after seeing "I hate this site"?

Silver (or Peerless), if you don't like something I did, then tell me about it in my page.

I'll comment about the Silversidegone template on its talk page. --Fandyllic 9:18 AM PDT 2 May 2006


 * Thanks, I was a little worried I was overstepping my bounds my editing it, but no one else was so I decided I would.  What do you think about switching Help:Editing with Help:Editing/Dev been hoping you would browse by it at some point and comment on your thoughts.  As far as the silverside stuff goes, I'll stand by my feelings that it isn't needed, but at the same time I felt obligated to help him out and bring his feelings to others attention and he doesn't even bother to vote on the page or comment on the issue with people that actually matter, so at this point I'm just going to ignore the whole thing.  --Ralthor 12:27, 2 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I swapped in your changes at Help:Editing/Dev to Help:Editing. After a quick scan, it looks like you did an excellent job updating it. Don't hesitate to put a note on my page, if you want me to take a look at something.
 * About the SilverSide thing. You did nothing wrong, but I still think he should speak for himself. You don't need to ignore anything or not say what you think is right. Keep doing what you're doing. --Fandyllic 5:15 PM PDT 2 May 2006

Boilerplate:Mob
Hi there! =) I took a few liberties editing the fine Boilerplate you've created (Boilerplate:Mob).  I added some "default" information; I find it useful when I'm updating stubs.  But let me know if I've stepped too far and destroyed something, or done something the wrong way.  I'm pretty new here, and want to make sure I go about things the right way.  Thanks for your time, -- TheMaster42 03:17, 7 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Looks great! Ralthor 03:54, 7 May 2006 (EDT)

fan fiction length
Thanks for the feedback on the policy. I was thinking about changing the 30 sentences clause. Here's the new policyPolicy/Writing/FanFiction/Length--User:TopDread

Terminate vs. Speedydelete
Hey Ralthor, please use speedydelete instead of terminate on articles you didn't author. The terminate template is for stuff people voted to delete or an author who wants their mistakenly created page removed. The speedydelete template is to tell admins to look at stuff that will probably never have useful content that the author seems to have abandoned or the case of vandalism only content. --Fandyllic 3:44 PM PDT 29 May 2006


 * OK, I started using speedydelete, but then I remembered the Terminate tag exceptions for vandalism so I started using that instead. Perhaps that should be deprecated in favor of speedy delete?--Ralthor 18:59, 29 May 2006 (EDT)

Help Team leader
So I was looking at Reference desk and it was kind of a mess. The way it was organized, you had to look at many pages for questions. So I changed a bunch of stuff, so you only look at the Reference desk area for initial questions in hopefully correct sections and then move the answered questions to the various subpages. I hope this is okay with you. Like I said before, you should probably focus on recruiting at first. Right now, I think most users don't expect answers from the Reference desk, since its been unmanned for awhile. --Fandyllic 1:32 PM PDT 1 Jun 2006


 * Good to see you're getting into being leader of the Help Team. When the team is up to speed, it will be a great help to Wowpedia and users. --Fandyllic 2:10 PM PDT 2 Jun 2006

Re: Stubs
Sorry, I'm not sure if I should have replied to your comment on my page, or make a comment here.

Anyway, I can't think of all the pages that I was initially looking for, however, you caught the big one - How to edit a page. I thought it would be a valuable help and alas, it was empty. It looks great now, and it's really nice to have all the info organized together like that.

Also, the Community Teams forum page links on the Community portal all 404. I had been hoping to check out the Cat team forum to get some info and examples of proper categorization, for example.

I'm planning to make a list if I run into any more snags. Though I think I'm getting the hang of hunting out the info that I need. Thanks :) Gilly DH 16:17, 1 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Either place is fine, I usually try and remember to check user's talk pages after I post on them. Mikk actually caught that page so I can't take credit for that, and the forum thing bugged me forever, but Fandyllic fixes that....Now I just need to find something to fix ;)--Ralthor 17:54, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

Stub/Lore
Whoops, I thought I'd found an old stub rotting around that'd been missed, so I chucked it into the lists at Category:Stubs. I realized only after that you just created it. Hope I didn't stick my foot in something. --Mikk 12:11, 3 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Not a problem, I was just recategorizing the deprecated stubs and didn't want to toss the lore stuff into and Other category when one was suppose to have been created since the vote has been passed for a while. --Ralthor 12:14, 3 June 2006 (EDT)

Good luck...
... with the move mate! I hope someone manages to break at least a third of the horrid heirlooms that your relatives just won't let you throw away :-)   --Mikk 20:12, 10 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks, so far one desk got destroyed. I can sometimes connect to one of my new neihbors unsecured wireless networks, but realy Internet should be coming soon!  --Ralthor 12:44, 13 June 2006 (EDT)

Endgame Edition
On Talk:Endgame Edition, you said you had moved the content of Endgame Edition (now removed) to User:Thricej37/Endgame_Edition. Any reason you didn't just move the whole article over there? Maybe it didn't work. Did you try, though, or did it just slip your mind? Schmidt 19:11, 16 June 2006 (EDT)


 * I thought I did move the whole article over there, what did I miss?--Ralthor 21:03, 16 June 2006 (EDT)


 * I mean use the move feature, the tab at the top of the page, you know? I guess you moved the content, but why not the whole page, history and all? Then the vote could have been dropped. It's alright, anyways, but I was wondering about that. Schmidt 21:13, 16 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Oh I don't know, that was a while ago, I think because I didn't want to make it a redirect and move the vote and everthing, I thought the base page should still be deleted whether it backed up or not and if I moved it I would have had to of gone back and placed the delete stuff on the redirect page...--Ralthor 21:32, 16 June 2006 (EDT)

Top 5
Were you planning on making the page viable at any point? -- Kirkburn 16:46, 18 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Response on Talk:Top 5--Ralthor 21:54, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

Rejected
I was sure I had deleted those other cats :) Thanks for sorting them! -- Kirkburn 19:03, 7 July 2006 (EDT)

Help:Editing
... is now unprotected. I fail to see the point of protecting that single help page. And there's a whole slew of red links in the page that want fixign now that the mediawiki user's guide stuff has been deleted :-)  --Mikk (T) 08:20, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Wowpedia talk:Policy/Editing/Goodremoved
Just bringing this vote to your attention ... you've voted on it before, I just want to check you are still of the same view given the more recent comments. Thanks :) -- Kirkburn 11:18, 29 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Thanks ... just that one switch makes it possible to get somewhere with the vote :) -- Kirkburn (talk) 18:27, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Deleting ...
We need more, more to delete :P -- Kirkburn (talk) 18:24, 29 August 2006 (EDT)


 * I know, you guys are power hungry, must feed the beasts......--Ralthor 18:33, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Similar topic ... about the two guys making the stupid guild pages. I've marked most for speedydelete as they hardly deserve even being stubbed. One or two have since been sorted out as proper guild pages, so I've left those or stubbed them :) Most I will delete soon if they receive no proper content soon. Sound okay to you? -- Kirkburn (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Yea was about to post something less civil to the second guys talk page, then I saw what you said to the first guy and thought that was a much nicer way of putting it ;) Oh well more food to keep the new admins from starving!--Ralthor 17:02, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

Minor edits
Could you use minor edits for tiny things such as Categorization and stubbing? Helps a lot. Pzychotix 03:59, 6 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Pzychotix: Or you can use WoWWiki:RC where Ralthor's edits won't show to begin with :-)  --Mikk (T) 11:41, 6 September 2006 (EDT)

" Dependency Missing"
Hi, i have two problems, first: i am trying to use the addon, Auctioneer, and i keep getting this message when i log into worldofwarcraft. I also get this same message concerning " Titan Panel-Stance Set". im not a pc wiz so i dont understand, plus dont know how to fix this. Please advise me what to do. thanks Gerald (baretracker@charter.net)


 * Dont' know much about Auctioneer. Maybe delete all your mods and reinstall Auctioneer and what its dependancies.--Ralthor 21:11, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

Starting a New Page...
Hi there! I'm one of the newer Bookkeepers and am looking for a bit of help. I ran into a small problem.. I was trying to add a word to the Qiraji language page... but the problem is that the language is also called Qiraji. How would I go about making a separate page also titled Qiraji, but maybe with (language) in brackets or something, afterward. I'm really not sure what the best way to handle something like this is, so I'd much appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks!

--Pure.Wasted 01:49, 7 October 2006 (EDT)


 * In this case, I'd personally keep Qiraji as a real page about the bugs, not a disambiguation page. Then I'd make the language page Qiraji (language) just like you said, and put a notice (in italics) at the very top of Qiraji saying to see the language page for the language with the same name.  -- Mikk  (T) 08:40, 7 October 2006 (EDT)


 * Yea what Mikk said, you can look at a page like Guild to see what the italics at the top should look like.--Ralthor 11:48, 7 October 2006 (EDT)
