Thanks for fixing Miss. The Mursaat reference was deemed necessary because there is no other reason to expect they will return in GW2.Shaun|Nox 13:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Professions reveal‎

This is going to be fun to watch. I feel for you bro. Eive 03:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

hahaha, thanks. :P (Xu Davella 03:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC))

Ignore him, mate. In 10 minutes he'll leave and we'll be able to revert. Chriskang 03:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Grrrr...It's torture!! (Xu Davella 04:30, 6 March 2011 (UTC))

Nu nu nu nu

Not like that, but as in adding the profession category to skill pages to allow DPL sorting with lists and stuff. But let's wait for others to chime in first. :P - Infinite - talk 04:12, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

....ohhhhh my bad. :) *looks up DPL* - nyuk. Well at least it looks consistent for the moment until peeps decide the final draft. --Xu Davella 04:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

That it is. Thank god I pointed out the mess in the Category tree last year, or we'd not have big discussions revolving around them around now. Also made me revive my DPL knowledge, which died out here. - Infinite - talk 04:19, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

c'mon, srsly, you add that, then remove it as obvious?

I know you're doing this just to confuse me personally. But why? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! A F K When Needed 08:39, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I've been trying to find out where the info came from. I had a look on the main gw2 site, checked out some interviews and went on...oh...you were joking...hahahaha...haha...ha...ping? --Xu Davella 08:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I see what you're trying to say. You think I'm flimsy like a noodle, and that if you have a whole bunch of me, then me becomes we and we become not flimsy, but a united force, desirable in taste that relates exceptionally well with red sauce!

reorganizing the categories

it might be a good idea if you create the category tree prior to creating category pages. That way you'll be able to figure out where things go before the pages are created. Venom20 02:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Examples can be seen on the Methodology section on the project's main page. :) - Infinite - talk 02:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Yeah I started implementing the one that had already been proposed, and then ran into a brick wall because parts of it are outdated. :( I'm working on one at the moment, just tidying up some capitalization issues. --Xu Davella 02:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Fishes

Just want you to know, technically, Fish is the "proper" plural form of Fishes. Fishes is effectively slang (which is becoming more and more common, but is still incorrect). Unless something happened in the literary rules in the past couple years that I don't know about. Konig/talk 21:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

O.o The term is used in marine science. When referring to a group of the same fish, you use the plural "fish", and when referring to a number of different fish, you use the plural "fishes". --Xu Davella 02:32, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Never heard of this. Though what a, to be blunt, stupid rule - that's the only situation in which such is done... Konig/talk 02:34, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

I guess it's sorta like "people" vs. "peoples." Haven't heard of "fishes" being used either, tho.-- Shew 02:37, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

That's exactly right. You can still use the term "fish" if you're not going to get any more specific, so saying something like "there's plenty of fish in the sea" is still correct. When you go into further detail, then you use "fishes". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xu Davella (talk • contribs).

Fishes is indeed used to appoint multiple breeds of fishes. Fish is more commonly used to appoint a multitude of the same breed. Interchangeable, though. - Infinite - talk 02:51, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Mesmer link

Every day I log into wiki. The first thing I do is go to my userpage and click on the mesmer link I've set up...one day, it will actually go to the article...one day. :) --Xu Davella 00:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Flaux

Mind if I borrow him for my human character's childhood plot? Kids living in the same district, practically. Unless he is middle-aged or older? Mediggo 18:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

He's in his 20's, roughly. But sure, you can take him, be nice to see a different side of the dude, :) --Xu Davella 22:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

That's very generous of you. I recently updated my elementalist's character page, so when I come up with something to add next time, you'll find a mention of Flaux there. :3 Mediggo 10:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

A very minor link, but there it is. I didn't really wanna force myself to come up with any large part because he still is your character. You probably have already figured what kind of person he is, but Flaux really seemed bit of a bully to me... :P Just use the above link to navigate back there, if you wanna check it out.

On a different topic, how did a consensus for wiki/community to be a spellcheck come to pass? Mediggo 09:09, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

haha that's all good. The deck of cards story is pretty cool too, I'd love to see how it all turns out for the character you've got. As for the wiki spellcheck thing... I have no idea. I faintly remember a discussion about it, but it was in a random article so I'll be stuffed if I can actually remember where it took place. --Xu Davella 05:21, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Thanks. I corrected your link to history page. I think we should rekindle discussion on that matter somewhere. If we let one or two of typos through, there'll be no end to them when the game is out. And when article get moved... lots of double redirects to fix. And people never learn to spell correctly. Mediggo 12:26, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Ressurect is a very common typo of resurrect. I assume this is why it's an acceptable redirect. - Infinite - talk 12:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

That's two typos. I'd bet resurect and ressurrect are more common. Mediggo 12:36, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I think all three deserve the "Ido trribel speling" redirects. :P - Infinite - talk 12:40, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Assassin redirects on GWW.

Resurrect redirects on GWW. Mediggo 12:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, to hell with consistency on GWW anyway (seriously, that place is a mess). From my POV (HI XU!) "assasin" and "ressurect" are almost the same class of typo, much like "assasin" and "ressurect" are similar (also not of the same class, though). Since one word has a single instance of double consonants and the other has two instances, it's annoying to properly compare the two. All I know it that there is a tremendous amount of google search hits on the word "ressurect." - Infinite - talk 13:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Also this. :D - Infinite - talk 13:02, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Heh. It did seem a little odd. The correct term in GW2 is supposed to be revival or revive though. I only brought those GWW redirects up as an example, since it's a game that has been out for a long time and certain terms are commonplace. And at least Google tells you that you're doing it wrong. Those tiny "redirected from" links can be missed by occasional wiki-goers. :P Mediggo 13:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Well it's not going to kill anyone, which I think was what was agreed on last time. Some of the redirects weren't purposely made for people who can't spell, and we're accidental. Overall, there are only a handful all up, so I'm not too fussed. raly. :D --Xu Davella 13:39, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

ha....ha...hhahahaha good stuff - there's a category on it. Guess we should use it... Category:Common_misspelling_redirects --Xu Davella 06:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

GYAHHH!H!H!HHHHHHH!!!! --Xu Davella 10:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

What? -- Cyan 12:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

They told us they would reveal the last profession before the end of this year, and someone seems to have forgotten it still hasnt ended. Lhimez 12:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Or it has and we are just not aware, somehow. - Infinite - talk 12:31, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

redirects on all the images

hi, i noticed in September you added redirects to a whole bunch of skill images. I'm using the API to build tooltips (here's the site) and the API breaks on those redirects. I'd love to add the skill images to the tooltips. Do we need those redirects? Cuth 04:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

There has already been a discussion regarding those redirects and the new consensus is to remove them. There is a bot run pending to remove the redirects, so for now I'd like to ask users to carry on with the previous consensus and redirect skill icons and other icons still. - Infinite - talk 07:45, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Any idea when the bot will run? I'm just trying to build off the API so I removed the redirects from a couple of skill images. But they get rolled back :) Cuth

The bot will run when Poke finds the time to run it. I hope he finds the time in the nearby future. - Infinite - talk 23:31, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I heard that comment like... over a year ago? Seems like Poke is timeless. --Xu Davella 23:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Luckily we are not yet in any hurry, in terms of bot runs. There are definitely more pressing issues. :) - Infinite - talk 23:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Where can I find the discussion? And... is there a way I can change a few and not have it changed back? Cuth 00:07, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Now that the confusion is cleared up, removed redirects should/will not be rolled back, so go ahead. :) - Infinite - talk 00:12, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

(Reset indent) A bot run that will remove all redirects is coming up; just wait for that. EDIT: That works too. Aqua (T|C) 00:12, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Cuth 03:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

[[User:Mediggo/Contest|Contest]]!

Fancy joining up on the contest and/or jury? I really liked those stories and characters you created (quite a long time ago!). I'd really like to read more about Oomoo and the rest, as well as use your knack for said tales and valued opinion in the jury. :) Check out the contest page when you have a minute. Mediggo 13:43, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd love to be part of the jury! But that would invalidate me for the contest, right? I don't mind, I work away and almost never have time to jump on and do stuff like this. I've been lazy with my characters, I'll work on something to get it started up again, no promises. :) --Xu Davella 13:22, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Nope, you can still enter on your own even if you're part of jury, but you need to vouch other entries than your own at least five times (members of jury can vouch a single entry up to twice, so you could vouch two entries twice and one another just once). I think that should be pretty fair. :) I'm adding you to the list of jury members. Thank you very much. Mediggo 16:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The contest is now open. ^^ There's no hurry getting involved, though, it will remain open until the end of June, so you'll have plenty of time to craft your entry and review others'. Mediggo 07:34, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

for clearing up that mess I made on the Bite page lol. I can't believe I did all of that while editing the TALK PAGE. Seriously embarrassing... ~ Bow | 06:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Moving pages

Hello, I saw that you "moved" the Lyss page from "Lyss (weapon)" - I have temporarily reverted your changes as this is not how pages are moved. I have tagged the current content at "Lyss" for deletion so that the "move" tab can be used to move all of the content (including the history!) from "Lyss (weapon)" to "Lyss". Please refrain from copypaste moves in the future :P -Chieftain Alex 09:42, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

copy that bro, sorry for the hassle. --Xu Davella 10:35, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
