A few quick notes - August 6, 2012

I would like to give a quick follow-up on the topics addressed during the first WikiChat:

• Administrative requests, I just posted some news here
• Legal text under the edit box: here's a proposed text to be added to all wikis:

By clicking the save page button below, you represent that your contribution is original and does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party, and you agree to license it as follows:
 You agree to license and/or assign your contribution pursuant to the terms set forth here: [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Copyrights]].
 You may also post content obtained from ''Guild Wars'' or ''Guild Wars 2'', its websites, manuals and guides, concept art and renderings, press and fansite kits, and other such copyrighted material that ArenaNet has made available to the general public, to the Official Guild Wars 2 Wiki. All rights, title and interest in and to such content shall remain with ArenaNet and/or NCsoft, as applicable, and such content is not licensed pursuant to the GFDL.

• it seems that some wiki editors were not happy with the new design? We like it a lot and would also like to propose to integrate the "top bar" of our new website to the wikis, to allow smooth integration; please let me know if you are against this;
• Fansites list: I'm working with TEF on this, please feel free to join the effort here
• Mobile version: as I said before, not a priority given the very low interest from the wiki community.

As always, please let me know your comments on my talk page.

Another topic I'd like to mention in passing: Wikipedia's Guild Wars 2 page. I think it could get some love, but I'm not sure how this can be done. It's a page that could be seen by a lot of people and it lacks information (although it was updated recently). So if you feel like spreading the knowledge, feel free to update the page (careful about not copying/pasting content between wikis as it could be breaking licenses). A funny anecdote in passing: we noticed last week that wikipedia's page on Cantrip had a reference to GW2, very cool!

Cheers.
