"Worshiped"

You Americanos are missing a P there, I believe. :P --N aoroji 22:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I would spell it "worshipped", but there is evidence for both spellings.

Dictionary.com says "worshipped" is 'especially British' not 'exclusively British'.

Merriam-Webster uses either spelling, though that is backed by the Encyclopedia Britannica.

GMail and Mozilla's spell checker only support "worshiped".

Wikipedia doesn't support the spelling "worshiped", though there is a re-direct supporting the spelling "worshipped", for what it's worth. --QuaxTal

I would like to note that Australians utilize what is referred to as the "British" spelling - thus the not 'exclusively British' means other places that utilize the same spelling, such as Australia. To add onto that list - Microsoft Word's spell check (lol) goes for worshiped. Either way, this wiki is utilizing the American spellings of words - hence why you see demon not deamon, or color and not colour - and worshipped is not the American spelling of the term. -- Konig/talk 00:35, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll assume you're referring to Daemon and not Deamon, Konig :)? Humour aside, Daemons and Demons aren't stricly interchangeable words, Daemons (derived from greek "Daimon", in turn dervied from a similar hebrew word that escapes me) being a tier of mythological creatures which can encompass, but isn't limitted to, malevolent and benevolent angelic beings of their various hierarchical forms (seraphim, cacodemons etc), adaptations on the djinn of arabic mythologies, pretty much anything between man and deity in terms of traditional religious views of divine importance can be broadly thought of as "Daemon", whereas "Demon", though a derivative word, isn't usually one someone would interchange with "Daemon" to describe this genre of mythological creatures as a whole, depending on their religious/spiritual standing point. But I wholeheartedly agree with the color/colour example ^_^, possibly one of the most commonly noted Americanisations on the interweb to date Darke 09:38, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

How can you watch that shit? --ஸ Kyoshi 16:04, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Easily. Crazy hardly-makes-sense stuff is my forte and most enjoying stuff. Though I haven't seen it in a long time. I think I only saw the first 76 episodes or some such. Probably well over 300 by now. -- Konig/talk 19:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I watched half of the first episode and quit. It was like watching the product of a brainstorming session involving Naruto fanboys/girls and a lifetime supply of pocky. That is to say, the randomness was too random and not calculated enough for me. If that makes sense. --ஸ Kyoshi

Summoned concept art

Konig, do you remember where the Summoned piece of concept art (apparently a Nightmare Court design, by Kekai Kotaki) came from? I have been trying to confirm if that's its official name, but I can't find that image at Kotaki's (many) websites anymore. Erasculio 20:17, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

official website, the concept art page. -- Konig/talk 01:17, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Edge of Destiny

This is something I have asked you one time, and I would like to repeat the request here: please be a bit more mindful of your edit summaries when editing content about Edge of Destiny, since you may state there things others would consider to be spoilers. Erasculio 00:57, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

What did I put in a summary which would be considered a spoiler that isn't not hidden on the page itself? (closest thing would be summaries of Morgus Lethe, but that's 100% spoiler). Hell, I haven't even read the book while editing prior to this so nothing I say can be that spoiler-tastic. -- Konig/talk 03:01, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Just looked through my contributions, and this is the closest possible thing that could be considered a spoiler. In fact, it's the only thing: "It was a single grain in GW1, which is "during the time of these events" - adding an additional sentence underneath the spoiler regarding it no longer being a single grain." All that mentions is that Glint's no longer in a single grain of sand... doesn't say for what, doesn't say what happens to her, doesn't say anything. And also the previous post. -- Konig/talk 03:07, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I was hoping for a simple "I'll keep that in mind" instead of being invited to argue semantics : P Just please remember that when making edit summaries for EoD, especially now that you actually got the book. Erasculio 15:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't intending to invite an argument. I was merely asking "where did I do such"? And, for the record, I've been keeping it in mind the entire time. -- Konig/talk 19:14, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Adding new Categories/adjusting categories

Hey Konig, do you think we could compile a category for armor concept art? There are so many floating around done by different artists that it would be helpful if there were 1 spot to put them. And, if there is already a category and I am unaware of it, should these new pieces be added to it? My second question is what are the limits of categories such as this? I mean, there are various concept art pieces in it that are not OF Charr, but rather of their architecture. Why then, are pieces such as this, this, this, this, and this not in it? Just a bit curious, thanks! --Aman nelle 20:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh! And we can't forget this. :) It really is rather lovely. Speaking of that concept art, would it be all right to have that in a thumbnail on the Steeleye span page? After all, it does show a progression from concept to in-game. :D --Aman nelle

21:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) This is something more for Era, since he's the one spearheading the concept art stuff. I'm just moving normal Charr/Human/Asura/Sylvari/Norn concept art into their race categories - I think architecture goes in there too but dunno.

Also, stop linking via url, it gets the edit page to be annoying. For files, just slap a : before the word "File" - same with category. -- Konig/talk 21:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

[[User:Konig Des Todes/Character1/Info|This]]

Calls for template X-color, which does not exist. Could you alter the coding so it no longer calls for the non-existant template? - Infinite - talk 15:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I saw that a long while back and was constantly searching for it. I just found it though and fixed it. -- Konig/talk 17:09, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

otheruse (norn spirits)

I don't think it's necessary on the norn spirits' pages because I find it hard to believe that people would accidentally get to the spirits' articles when looking for the pet, whereas the other way around is likely, given that the spirits are referred to as "bear," "snow leopard," etc.-- Shew 23:43, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

It moves fine if it's a redirect, usually. Since the talk page was tagged for deletion, that caused an error for you - it would be best to wait for it to be deleted due to said issue. -- Konig/talk 02:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

i'd like to apologies for my behavior.... i tend to overreact... lately, because of some personal matters... anyway i'm sorry for my bad behavior siddius 16:42, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

tl;dr version

The the licensing on both wikis prevents ANet from using any ideas they get from the wikis. We want to have ANet change the licensing so that the licensing on the GWW feedback space is applied to everything on the GW2W so they can look at all of it without fear of "what if I run into an awesome idea". Furthermore, some are of the opinion that a feedback space is just messy and that a forum would be much better suited to the purpose, but that's another plot entirely. --ஸ Kyoshi 18:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. :)

For fixing up my bad choice in wording. Looks a lot better now. :D (Xu Davella 10:59, 6 March 2011 (UTC))

why do you have your guildwars 1 toons on here but not on your guild wiki profile for gw1?- Zesbeer 08:21, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

I like keeping things in one place. Plus I moved em a while back when I thought I'd become inactive on gww - funny how I've become a bit more active over there since. not for long though-- Konig/talk 09:11, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

whys that? gw2 wiki i feel is pure speculation and copy pasta of what the game devs have said in blog posts ect.---

Zesbeer 09:22, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Funny you mention speculation; we've basically regulated speculation to be moved from main space to user space (or if not, special archives) whenever it is found. And all documented information indeed rests on facts backed by the devs. - Infinite - talk 13:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

There's little to no speculation on the mainspace (talkspace is another topic which is what Infinite was referring to) just like on gww (and unlike on guildwiki). Reason I thought I'd be over here was because prior to realizing how little information is on gww from what we know (e.g., the articles I've been reworking), I thought I'd be busier with updating the new gw2 info we were (then, quickly) getting. -- Konig/talk 20:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Also* referring too, mind. We've removed plenty of speculation from main space and still have to, often enough. :P - Infinite - talk 20:22, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

people call me a walking wiki but Konig should get his own library for the stuff he knows about GW! (I Bet he knows more than the Devs!(or at least some/most of them!)) --

The Holy Dragons 20:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

"If anyone knows this game's lore, it's this guy." QFT. I may challenge the occasional lore article, but if you correct me on lore content, man, I dare not question. :) - Infinite - talk 23:37, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

I had forgotten this section exists and when I saw Infinite's post my immediate intended response was "Sorry, I don't swing that way." Also, you guys give me far to much credit. I often fact check myself when I make posts (and always do when adding to mainspace wiki articles). And those times I don't, I tend to get corrected by drax, Thalador, or Leon from the lore forums. -- Konig/talk 01:33, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

This stemmed from the Above created only to spam the recent changes with less vomiting rainbows... DOUBLE VOMITING RAINBOWS!

Sincere lol. Also, none of those Guru members edit wiki, do they? - Infinite - talk 01:35, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Leon did a couple times in trying to help me make the GW1Wiki more correct in lore, but he mainly only did category edits after talking to me about it. Can't say for drax or Thalador, though I know they have wiki accounts. -- Konig/talk 01:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Hm, fair enough. Also the header here is really quite awkward now that the chat isn't about vomitting rainbows all over the place. - Infinite - talk 01:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Category:Users who rever Balthazar

My personal opinion on the matter is that if we must have user categories (-.-), they should at least be spelled correctly. Aqua (T|C) 04:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

And also not have incorrect grammar (i.e. Charrs) Aqua (T|C) 04:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Personally I'd like to see an overall removal of userpage categories (or at least userbox categories). They're not helpful in the least, tbh - with the exception of "users in x guild" (though that's debatable). And I didn't notice it was mispelled, however the category should be emptied and userbox fixed before deletion. -- Konig/talk 05:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

personally, i think the god ones should be reworked altogether, not just Balthazar. [[:Category_talk:Users_by_god|Here]] is my opinion on them. ~~

Template Redesign

So what exactly don't you like about the newer user page template, or what do you like about the old version?== Shew 13:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I found nothing wrong with the old version, and what I dislike about the second one is that it's so bloody small.

BTW, [[User:Konig Des Todes/Characters/2|stop messing up my character biographies]]. What happened to my translucent background? I need it for the text to show with a background image! (Also the skillbar got screwy). Personally, I'm not all to fond of the hiding template thing - as it stands at least. I like the little buttons on the side... screw whether I get that second skillbar or not. >.< -- Konig/talk

I have no idea why they disappeared! I've been looking at past version, but I just can't seem to find the source.-- Shew 22:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

In case you don't see it in RC, Chrome isn't supporting transparency for some reason. I'll look into alternatives, but transparency is gone atm. (At least the font is readable now.)-- Shew 22:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, the reason it's so small is 'cause I'd rather use official ArenaNet images than my own. I will try to make it larger while still using official images, though.-- Shew 00:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

1) I use foxfire. 2) You can have them bigger than that tinyness. You just need to have the proportions right. -- Konig/talk 01:39, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

If you can find a larger border, then by all means, let me know where to find it, lol. I may let the skill bar be outside of the border if I continue with the border I'm currently going with. That'll help w/ proportions and space.-- Shew 01:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Would it be possible to crop out some of the older template's border to shrink the height? There's a good number of pixel's worth above the boxes with text and some worth underneath the skillbar. -- Konig/talk 02:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The boxes containing text in the template you're using are 368px high, whereas the space inside the border I'm currently using for the newest template has 334px of space. Of course, there'll need to be some padding, but I'm already planning on having some stuff outside the box, so that'll definitely account for some space. I'm thinking about putting the biography question icons next to the unexpanded tag, with the biography text displaying when hovered over.-- Shew 02:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Let me rephrase: Most ArenaNet concept art images that fits the general shape (horizontal rectangle) typically ranges between 800x400 to 800x550. The old template utilizes an 800x600 proportioned size. All that'd be needed would be to take that 600 and shrink it a bit. Course not every concept art image is the same size - even when they're the same shape - so effectively attempting such is quite moot. -- Konig/talk 02:23, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Ahhh, alright.-- Shew 02:26, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Side note: I'm holding back on aquatic weapons atm because we don't know anything about them/their skills yet.-- Shew 04:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, there's a flaw in the old user page template that I noticed on your page. You can't have multiple character panels because each character from a panel is anchored as "Char1," "Char2," etc. So if you have multiple panels, clicking on "Char2" from the second one will return you to "Char2" from the first one.-- Shew 04:26, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

1 more spam: I added HoM capability to the new one. Check out Zojja's template for an example. The star links to it. Will that do?-- Shew 05:00, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I knew of the bug and the thing was temporary until I found a replacement. It should be noted that with the new template, clicking the switch weapons anchor causes the box to close (at least on your page). And I guess that little hard to see link would do. -- Konig/talk 05:06, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I can go with a larger star. :P About the template closing issue. Doesn't happen for me. Go with Chrome! Also, nothing I can do about it...really, unless...hmm...I'll look into collapsible wikitables and see if there's some way to keep it from doing that.-- Shew 05:19, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to be doing it again, which is weird. So I guess problem solved. However, I have a request. Finish [[User:Shewmake/Template:Page/GW1.Panel|this]]. I'm still not a fan of the collapsing thing though. But that does work - though having the tables side by side with the shown portion always centered (and when one is opened, any after gets pushed to a new row) would be nice if possible. -- Konig/talk 11:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I hope there's a way to do that. About the GW1 one...:S...I guess...though I may port it to the new design.-- Shew 14:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I like the old design. v.v Just wish it was possible to have more than 8 characters to the Template:Page thingie you got. :P -- Konig/talk 14:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Well yeah, I can add more easily. As many as I want until the template break, I just thought that 8 would be a good number (1 for each profession). I'll boost it to 12 I guess. :p-- Shew 15:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Why not 15? The number of characters I'll be making profiles for. No the number's not random - minimum amount of biography options without doubling, assuming that the asura and sylvari have 3-answer questions. :P -- Konig/talk 15:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Haha, alright.-- Shew 15:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I know im probably late but are you guys talking about transparcy to where you see the charr on the background?--Icyyy Blue

15:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

15:45, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

As Shew says - I want the blocks there (so the text can be read), but I want it transparent (so the concept art can be seen). -- Konig/talk 17:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

The wiki upgrade fucked up a LOT of things. Primarily some forms of transclusion coding (not sure what it is that got fucked up specifically, but I can say a lot did). -- Konig/talk 07:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

That must have been what affected the transparency too. Also, I'm finding it extremely hard to finish up that GW1.Panel given that I don't play GW1 anymore.-- Shew 19:54, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Lore and other fun stuff

As you (kinda sorta really) are the resident lore guru, I was wondering if I could get your help/insight for the potential lore portal. See the discussion here if you want an explanation as to why I'm asking. Aqua (T|C) 16:30, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Quaggans

You didn't have to revert all of my edits, most of the changes that I made are grammatically correct and if you check the article, they use the phrase "quaggans", "the quaggans" and "quaggan". Also, when you put things in quotation marks, you're quoting something. When you italicize it, you're either giving emphasis or you are using a word that is not native English. Also, "the quaggans are a peaceful race", not "the quaggans are peaceful race". And finally, there is no comma separating the word however turning the whole sentence into a syntax error. Can you please fix these because I can't revert it... --Xu Davella 05:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

That was... not what I intended to do in that edit. I thought I was merely re-adding the section-stub tags and the , ArenaNet blog at the end of the external link. I don't know how I reverted your changes. o.OKonig/talk 06:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

oooh. Then ignore what I just said. :D --Xu Davella 07:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Ludichris1

Well I spent like an hour putting that stuff in hoping other people could see more pictures of wolves besides a simple Garim one. And then you delete it because it's silly (which you could of taken out captions) and taking to much white space(which you could of also fixed by moving pictures in a row, or saving at least two). I just wanted to show people more pictures of Guild Wars 2 wolves, since I especially have a likeness towards them. But alas, my second contribution to a Guild Wars wiki deleted... :( EDIT: perhaps you can screenshot some images from that video that was linked and upload a few :o?User:Ludichris1

I took out captions because they were more for laughs and less for documentation. I removed the images because it made the page way to big for, truth be told, unnecessary images. A gallery section would of sufficed, but I don't see why having so many pictures of the same wolf (yes, that's the same kind of black wolf, may even be Garm, considering Eir is in the dungeon) is at all helpful. Why would people care about different poses at this point? The images still remain, so you can feel free to use them on your userspace. But on Wolf, they're more of flavor content than actually helpful, imo; and flavor content should be minimalized. Konig/talk 03:20, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
