==Falasan Inquirer February issue==
 
<s>Could the [[Falasan Inquirer/February07|February issue]] of the Falasan Inquirer be reverted back to the  "# (cur) (last)  23:56, March 17, 2007 RubyDragon" version? I'm still working on a new style for it that I want to keep somewhat hidden until the release of the next few articles, I was checking the syntax for mistakes when I accidently clicked "Save Page" instead of "Show Preview"...thanks :)

==Abington Vandalism==
 
[[User:Darfix]] seems to be vandalizing the Abington page. It appears he has a character who is in Minas Ithil, which apparently is at war with Abington. [[User:AlexTurner|AlexTurner]] 01:11, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

==[[Manual]]==
 
The link in the manual to "Messages" points to a page on the (obviously not so secret) CombatMaster project about messages which is not helpful for newcomers tryiong to get to grips with the system, and is pretty confusing anyway.

Also, I would figure from a quick glance at these all that there's likely some merit to most of them. I would figure the pages about the Ancient Chain Mail of Whahoonie and such would go into the Unique items pages, while the Abington stuff would be better suited linked to the Abington page.  I don't, however, want to go stomping onto the appropriate pages and just toss edits about.  Any guidelines that you'd recommend for these issues?  Maybe just dropping the appropriate page as a link into the Talk page for the overall subject... -- [[User:Baatarsaikhan|Baatarsaikhan]] 23:43, 5 November 2007 (CET)

==Error Creating Thumbnail==
:If it makes you feel happy. I wouldn't think "Bomber" is medieval and that's what I'd more likely complain about in the GGG, but I'm tired of this "it's probably illegal in Germany" crap. Very few things are actually illegal. Much is frowned upon, but the Swastika and the SS runes are about the only Nazi symbols that are actually illegal to use, except in historical context (e.g. history books, etc.) --[[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:47, 20 January 2008 (CET)
 
::The swastika isn't illegal. It is (was) actually a powerfull spiritual symbol for various faiths and cultures throught history. It was only since the Nazi party swiped it and defiled it's use that it got such a bad reputation. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika. -[[User:Balewind|Balewind]]
 
:::Balewind, read up a little. Using the Swastika '''is''' illegal in Germany except for some exceptions (history, or if you use it to very clearly distance yourself from Nazis, such as some anti-Nazi groups using a crossed-out Swastika). I could search for the proper law, but I'm too lazy. I '''did''', however, google up a few pages with the details before posting the comment above. Google for "illegal nazi symbols" or something likee that and you should find them as well. --[[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:38, 20 January 2008 (CET)

== Disrespectful Use of Religious Material ==
 
I just removed some images that were being used badly out of context.  I believe the user was being careless, and not mean-spirited.  Besides being rude, there were connotations that some would consider very offensive.  The images on the [[Torenism|page]] were clearly “borrowed” from a large number of web pages.  While copyright owners usually don't care, some of them might in this case.

Latest revision as of 16:36, 29 December 2010

On this page, and it's related talk page (click on the "discussion" tab, like any other page), everyone can talk to the editors, ask questions or propose his ideas. We are very open to new ideas and always grateful for any support. Do remember, however, that our time available is limited. Please check if your idea is already being discussed, or has been discussed in the past and rejected.


FRP - Frequently Rejected Proposals

Some stuff that you really shouldn't bother to propose again, because we've rejected it already, and so often that we stopped counting:

Adopt-an-Orphan Page

I noticed that we have 910+ orphaned pages. Is this worth cleaning up and is it worth getting the community involved by promoting an "Adopt an Orphan(ed Page) Day". Maybe push the various nations to clear up and/or claim the various orphans out there. -- Baatarsaikhan 19:55, 5 November 2007 (CET)

Interesting suggestion. Orphaned pages are not, in and of themselves, necessarily bad things, however - the wiki doesn't take into account if they;re used for in game linking.
If you feel like going through the list and picking out truly useless ones, stick them on the Meta:Delete Request page and they'll probably be dealt with. --The1exile 20:22, 5 November 2007 (CET)
We're down to 140: Special:LonelyPages. --Indirik 16:36, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh noes! I've been slacking. We were down to 115 or so a couple months back. It looks like new ones are mostly regions though(should be easy enough to find them links). --Vita Family 19:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
There should be no orphaned region pages, unless the wiki does not count the automatically-generated lists and categories. --Tom 19:39, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Categories and lists don't count toward orphan pages. --Indirik 22:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

i made a mistake

i have registerd me two time, the first one as VecchioRatto the second one as Vecchioratto... now i have some trouble... how i can solve it? --Vecchioratto 13:01, 9 December 2010 (CET)

DRBP Help

hi, i was searching for someone who can help me in give a structure to the DRBP i'm good in make banner and crest but i'm awfull in english and in wiki editing... if someone can help me even only giving me the right template for doing things... i will really appreciate... i hope to improve the game with the DRBP but alone i fear i run in a EPIC FAIL... :) thanks in advance! --Vecchioratto 17:59, 9 December 2010 (CET)

hi, can anyone make for me a template like the one used for Ordenstaat/Knights? only with neutral color, and titled like: Archive of the Insegna or something else? with those information:

  • Name
  • IMAGE
  • Motto
  • Homeregion

Error Creating Thumbnail

Error creating thumbnail:
libgomp: Thread creation failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

I have seen the error before, but can it be fixed? I hoped to make use of it for Vecchioratto and his project, and just manually making images smaller now would take a lot of time. --Roy 23:05, 28 December 2010 (CET)

Why i cannot find Kids rock and Helhhir page on wiki? --Vecchioratto 03:30, 29 December 2010 (CET)

Apparently no one ever made them. Go ahead and make them.m --Indirik (talk), Editor (talk) 15:26, 29 December 2010 (CET)

Oh... Ok! --Vecchioratto 15:36, 29 December 2010 (CET)
