Preview Button

Arylon, please use the Preview button when you want to check your changes. You spammed the Recent Changes page with nearly 20 separate edits to the same page today. --Anaris 16:37, 24 February 2007 (CET)

Strong Endorse Anaris's plea. --Jezralhm 07:49, 25 February 2007 (CET)

Arylon, I would like to once again strongly encourage you to use the Preview button. You had 10 separate edits of your "testing" page in 3 short bursts, which you could have reduced to 3 edits, if you would simply click the "Preview" button rather than the "Submit" button when you want to see what your changes will look like. It makes it much easier for the editors, and other people looking at the Recent Changes page, if you do not fill it up with useless edits. --Anaris 19:41, 30 March 2007 (CEST)

Just as a pre-emptive comment, I am aware that today I changed an infobox like 4 or 5 times - and I apologize for the inconvenience, but I needed to make the changes official to see how it effected another page. I should be completely done with it now, so you shouldn't have to see it again. 03:44, 18 April 2007 (CEST)

Nexis

May I upload an edited version of his picture. I made it look more like a painting on photoshop so it isn't so obvious it's a screenshot on a game. That's what I usually do. Get screenshots and then edit the crap out of' em on photoshop. -- Shenron 15:41, March 22 2007 (CET)

Minor edits

I would recommend that you only use the minor edit checkbox for such things as spelling, grammar and formatting corrections. Never mark a new article as minor, since the creation of the article is a major event in the history of the article. Some users leave minor edits off their watch lists, so marking something as minor that is not keeps them out of the loop. --OOC Habap 14:51, 17 April 2007 (CEST)

Marking all of your edits as minor is not helpful. You wrote a wonderful article on the rebellion and marked your edit as minor with no edit summary. It would be useful if you didn't mark things as minor unless they actually are and if you would use the edit summaries. This way, people browsing recent changes can notice changes and enjoy the opportunity to read your work. --OOC Habap 18:07, 18 April 2007 (CEST)

"Articles Written by Arylon"

Yes it's good to be proud but the wiki is a community effort and it pisses people off when you make it sound like you are the only contributor. It could be argued that if people don't like it they can do it as well, but that would be ridiculous as at the bottom of the page you'd get a useless list of categories. Categories are not made for specific users and if people want to see what you've been doing they can look at your contributions -- Shenron 2nd July 2007

Actually, yeah, I have a much better solution. Set on your prefences that you will put on your watchlist, you probably already have. Then the pages you edit will come up on your watchlist, or another solution is to just use the search, after typing in the exact name, your computer should just remember the name when you type the first 2 letters. But no matter what, categories aren't for that use and make the wiki, as I like to say, "un-pretty".

Actually, I just figured out a great solution that is so obvious that I didn't think of it. Don't add it to page categories. Keep it to yourself, so it will exist for the right reasons but will not..... "ugly-tize". -- Shenron 2nd July 2007

Subpage Issues

Not to crap on you too much today, but can you please ensure that your pages are located in the appropriate hierarchy, e.g. character pages belong as subpages of your family page, pages about specific realms belong as subpages of the realm page. You've contributed enough by now to know that Meta:Style Guide isn't just a friendly suggestion, it's what keeps the wiki from becoming disorganized and unusable. -- Murakama 12:43, 2 July 2007 (CEST)

Arylon, make subpages! Van Peteghem 13:02, 10 July 2007 (CEST) the page Jaden Arylon should become Arylon Family/Jaden. Van Peteghem 13:02, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

High Noble Families!?!?!

Your family barely fits the description of the Renowned families. I think you believe Fisc is much more than he seems. Honestly, Fisc is a very young noble still and he hasn't done much really. Don't make him out to be some super experienced super man or some amazing troopleader that boosts your family to top ranks. If you make out Fisc to be super awesome now. It will severely imbalance you for the future when Fisc really does look like a really experienced man and you won't know what to write. Just saying. Don't get ahead of yourself, or you'll ruin the game for yourself later on.

Indeed... you have a few Counts under your belt, and a time served as fiduciary. The big clincher though, Fisc may be slightly known on SEI, but Xanio has never heard of Taran. My Belu. character hasn't even heard whispers of Nexis or Jaden. Your characters aren't that famous, sorry. Keep working though. George the Hippy 19:10, 9 July 2007 (CEST)

My apologies folks - I was under the impression High Noble families were those families who had multiple Counts and multiple titles for their characters. I wasn't trying to jump the gun, just being accurate to what my impression of everything was. I think the idea that the family barely belongs in renowned is foolish though... two counts, a marshal, fiduciary and a priest with 100% preaching skill and is responsible for much of the expansion of the Aristoi on Atamara I think is MORE than enough to be comfortably in renowned. Arylon 05:10, 10 July 2007 (CEST)

A priest with a hundred percent preaching skill!!!!!! Youza!! If that's true, and I suspect it might be a weeny bit of a bluff but you are probably the fastest skill builder. Or I've heard that some characters build certain skills much faster than others depending on luck. Like Apparently Renquest on FEI was very easy to train. I've noticed it with my characters too. Mitsuhide reached 60% after only about 15 times at the academy, but all my other character get stuck on about 35%-40%. This is quite interesting indeed....

As for the character fame it's fun to have some crazy characters that will do crazy things that surely get remembered. Like Mitsuhide pissed off the whole of Mesh several times until pulling a rebellion with 4 people!! Then he was deported to the Barony where he pissed of their great dictator Sordnaz and died in a duel against some marshal (who's name escapes me) but yeah. Fame isn't through doing good stuff it's about doing.... stuff. -- Shenron 10 July 2007

Not a bluff in the least bit. I signed on as a priest just after the class became available and have preached every single day since. I hit more than 80% over 2 months ago, and given the rate of skill increase I had seen to that point, I should have been at, or as close as I'll ever get to 100% well over a month ago. There's no way to find out for sure what my skill level is at anymore (once you train and you are more skilled than the expert, all he'll say is "you're over 80%". But, given when I reached that point, and the increases I had seen to that point, and the fact that not one single day has gone by where I haven't preached (ie no loss of skill)... if I'm not at 100% now, than it is impossible for a priest to be at 100%.
