Date changes in RuneScape

Don't worry about whether date formats are American or British - MediaWiki handles that for us. It doesn't make any difference though, so don't worry about it. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 21:19, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Two Things

First off, thanks for the link on the Stanley Cup Playoffs as to why there is no Finals page. I was a bit curious. Secondly, I like your signature quite a bit, and was curious if you could possibly help me create one of my own...nothing difficult or crazy, but just a little different from the norm. Jmlk17 04:05, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Cool...thanks for the tips! Jmlk17 05:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Neat! I appreciate the help. I tried to give myself a "cool" signature a while back, but ended up missing some HTML line code somewhere, gave up, and had the usual signature since. Thanks for the tips again man! Jmlk17 05:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a couple days later, and my sig ain't as cool as yours lol, but thanks again for the tips man! Jmlk17 10:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

You said you could add citing to the article I wrote entitled "War on Cheating". There are many sources involved, because that was written from my personal knowledge, but I'll do my best to list them here: www.srl-forums.com (SCAR + SRL) http://games.infoseka.lt/autorune.html www.rs-resources.com (about arga) www.impsoft.net (ibot) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCAR_%28programming_language%29 (other SCAR info)

Edit after you made changes: There are a few factual errors I want to correct in the edited version of the Cheating section I posted. SCAR is NOT used by gold farmers, but a program called RSDemon (that's the woodcutting one completely dominating yews and willows in non-members) is being used by them. SCAR is used almost entirely by individuals. Here's a corrected version of it:

"Cheating has become a major problem in RuneScape as time has gone by. In the early days of the game, most cheaters were individual players who developed special programs that exploited weaknesses in the game's client-server communications. Jagex improved security to make direct interaction with the client impossible, so more recently programs like SCAR have been used by individuals wishing to auto. A few new programs, such as RSDemon, are run in East Asia in order to make gold that is sold to players for real-world money, similar to activities occurring in other games. Jagex is seizing billions of gold and banning thousands of accounts every week for cheating, but such activities still continue."

Seems like a competition between us, eh? Andrew⁶⁴⁷ 01:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay

You removed the link I added on the Runescape Article. Now I will post a message on the talk page and check everyday on there for messages. Pro Game Master87 00:53, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

New Update

Umm...Jagex updated the game engine again...so someone update the article!@!!

Infobox

I saw that you commented on the infobox. The reason it was done was so that no more disputes would occur like those that were eventually resolved at Talk:Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. We had to find something consistent to put on officeholders so that a dispute about the image of the incumbent would no longer be an issue.--Southern Texas 21:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

President of the United States

Because you're a principal contributor to the page, you're input would be appreciated here. Thank you :) --Ybbor^Talk 18:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

President of the United States

Please stop arbitrarily removing another user's edits without discussing it on the Talk page. The issue of the oath clearly does not belong in the article and has been removed. No one gets to "own" an article - especially if all they are interested in doing is adding undocumented falsehoods and reverting without discussion. Info999 14:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Busy City?

A busy city would be a better representation of graphics than the armour animations?

This is an animation I have of a drop party: [1]

That animation is 1.3 MB. And I did it in the best way possible, and the .GIF graphics is still sub-par. If I did a "busy city", it would most likely hit 2+ MB with an extremely sloppy look. In fact, I kind of already did something similar: [2] (4.4 MB)

Are you sure that a busy city is a better representation of graphics than the armour animations? Tarikochi 15:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Busy City?

Sorry about the delay. I had little Internet access for two weeks, and then when I got back, it slipped my mind. Anyway, to the point.

Admittedly, I don't consider the size of articles or media very often, because they're rarely an issue to me. You're right there that those animations are too big, especially for those with dial-up. However, I still think that the current image may not be ideal. It doesn't have to be exactly as I described it, but if we use an image to represent character appearance in the game, it should probably have at least several people dressed in a wide variety of clothing. If this isn't possible to have while maintaining a small size, then it can be just a few people. The idea is that the range of possible appearances is represented as much as possible in the image. Hope that clears things up. Comrade Tux 23:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Except one of them, Image:Runescape equipment armours dragon-chikoritapro.gif, got taken down, which would have shown another possible combination.

By the way, the RuneScape articles just got another person obsessed with making the RuneScape articles as barren as possible. Tarikochi 01:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Except that both of them were showing armor, but in different colors. I don't think they're very representative of everything available. Comrade Tux 01:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The person in the RuneScape talk page is interested in purging nearly all of the images, so even an image that you would want would be disallowed. Tarikochi 15:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarikochi (talk • contribs)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Runescape moderator crowns.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Runescape moderator crowns.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Andrew Gower

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Andrew Gower. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Gower (4th nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
