Mechagnome

Hi WrathOfDeathfrost. You said that there is uncomfirmed information mixed with confirmed facts in the mechagnome article. As you were the one who added most of the information, can I ask you to separate it into two sections (one for speculation and other for confirmed facts)? I'm asking this because people without much knowledge can come and read the article but would not know what is real and what is speculation; and I would do it myself but I have very limited knowledge of the mechagnomes. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 22:01, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

I might give it a shot. I already know it's common custom to place unproven info in a 'Speculation'-section, but the reason I didn't add this on the mechagnome-article is because most of the information of it, be it speculated or actual, is pretty too much "connected" or "intervined" to separate with any good outcome. Hard to explain (...) Still, as said, I'll see what I can do. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 23:41, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

I see, then it was difficult to separate the info, but it appears you managed to do it. Thanks for your hard work :). Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 00:24, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Citation

While your excessive contributions are appreciated, and not necessarily inaccurate, I ask that you please add where you got the information, even if you are summarizing general knowledge. Thank you in advance.--SWM2448 00:43, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

All the info I use to improve articles with is gathered from other wowwiki-articles. I've also thought that it would be a good thing to add references (especially when handling larger pieces of information like on the dwarf-page), but as it appears this is mostly reserved for info gained from roleplaying-books and other websites than wowwiki, I've chosen to not add them yet. I'll see what I can do.

If you are taking info from other WoWWiki articles, then you should use the citation that those articles have. If they do not have citation, than that article has a problem and you should not be spreading around information from it. While admittedly a lot of the information on WoWWiki comes from Warcraft roleplaying books, that is not the only thing that needs to be cited. All information on WoWWiki should have come from somewhere else, and the somewhere else should have come directly from Blizzard Entertainment. Also, pages on WoWWiki are not sources, unless the page is entirely a verbatim copy of one source (like  [Velinde's Journal]).--SWM2448 18:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

...however if the information is from a main article (specified on top of a section) then it's generally not needed, as the information and citations are from there. --g0urra[T҂C] 19:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

I understand that information requires trustworthy references in order to be treated as valid knowledge, and I'm even more known with the fact that false knowledge does not profit anyone. While I admit that I am bad at referencing (a quality of mine I need to reduce if I want to continue improving Wowwiki) I've never had the intention of spreading false and irrelevant information. As said, I'll improve my references and thus improve my contributions.

Still... while all your requests are appropriate and all your statements genuine, SWM2448, concerning the idea and goals of a wiki, I must admit I feel a tad depressed as my "contributions" clearly create more trouble than good. I'll see what I can do (again). Cheer on me as I do my best, huiyah. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 19:47, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

I never said your intentions were hostile, and I do not want you to become depressed and slink off into a state of never contributing again. In the way of cheers, I will give you: I am sorry that it messes up lines of text.--SWM2448 19:56, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

And I never said I'll never contribute again xD Thanks for the support, I'll later add some references to the mechagnome-page which is the other page on wowwiki I've worked most on. Could you tell me if there are any guides or the like for this on wowwiki? Also, I'm a bit unsure how to edit pages such as this one. (Edit this page only gives me the first line to work on, and I've noticed this page miss a few items.) Finally, in return for your sparta, here's a video of a human bard fighting Tyrannus - The Remarkable Journey of Higgins Von Higgings! WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 21:42, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Offhand, there a basic functionality guide and a sort of citation guide. What are you looking for? To add things to category pages, you have to add [[Category:Whatever]] the the bottom of the page you want to add, not edit the category itself.--SWM2448 01:49, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Please don't change words or wording in cited material. TherasTaneel (talk) 22:18, May 22, 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. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 00:23, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Howling Fjord art

Your recent uploads are mostly duplicates of files that have already been uploaded to the wiki.

For instance, File:OfficialArtworkImageHowlingFjord18.jpg existed as File:Nifflevarconc.jpg, and File:OfficialArtworkOfSomeVrykulBuilding.jpg existed as File:Valgarde cave tower.jpg. There are others.

Please be more careful in the future, as duplicate file are messy. If you wanted to rename a file using different naming conventions, then an admin can do that. If you wanted to alter the quality of a file, please upload it under the same name. Alternatively, be sure to completely replace an image with a new one (though, I am not sure why...), so two of the same file are not floating around. Thank you.--SWM2448 00:50, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't knew the images were already uploaded. As the images I found weren't present on the pages I considered relevant to them, I assumed they weren't uploaded yet. <sigh> What is a poor soul like me to do? At least some of the ones I uploaded appeared to be better quality than the previous versions. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 17:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

RE; Last Weeks Mammoth

You didn't need an admin for that. Everyone is capable of using the Move page option. And the redirect is created automatically when the page is moved. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 03:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
