Runescape

  Hello Royalmate1/Archive 1, and thank you for your contributions to RuneScape, part of the RuneScape series. Whilst your edits are greatly appreciated, they have had to be changed, as they went into too much detail about the subject! Such a level of detail, that requires that a reader be a player of RuneScape, is outside of Wikipedia's mandate and is often called "Fancruft" by other editors. Some articles, some in the RuneScape series, some not, have even been deleted on the grounds of containing too much Fancruft.

It is important to remember that:

In short, fancruft includes things like:

  • Pricing information
  • Quests and quest rewards
  • Instructions for completing quests
  • Instructions for how to use and perform a skill, for example "to make bronze bars you need 1 tin ore and 1 copper ore"
  • Lengthy, detailed descriptions of items.
  • For that matter, naming items at all. Use a short, very basic description instead, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip".

Avoiding Fancruft

  • Instead of giving a specific price (which is subject to change anyway), state, for example, "Runite armour often fetches significant sums of money in RuneScape's marketplaces"
  • Never mention quests, the rewards from quests or anything to do with quests
  • Never mention the different types of equipment or raw material used for a skill
  • Never describe an item in intricate detail, or mention how to obtain it, for example, the Abyssal Whip is "a demonic whip", readers do not need to know that "the abyssal whip comes from abyssal demons which require 85 slayer to kill"

Instead, use inline citations, linking to the relevant RuneScape knowledge base article.

Please do not be put off by this! The RuneScape pages still need work! Furthermore, your great knowledge of this subject is more than welcome at the RuneScape wiki, a version of Wikipedia revolving around RuneScape, written for players, and where a higher level of detail is used.

You may also find it helpful to read:

Feel free to join in the discussion at the main RuneScape page or the RuneScape Task Force, part of WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games.

Happy editing! Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 18:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


Speedy deletion of George W. Budh

 

A tag has been placed on George W. Budh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

User:Royalmate1/Guestbook

Hello;
This is totally unsolicited advice: Please don't do pages like this one. While I understand the attraction of "signature" pages they are strongly discouraged. There's a guideline page titled something like "wikipedia is not social networking" but it's a bit on the condescending side, so I'll not link it. But it does have several good points, mainly that while a collegial environment where we work together is vital, pages like this "guestbook" one only add superficial interactions. If you want to put {{db|As advised by brenneman}} at the top of that page, someone will come and delete it.

Actually Jimbo Wales has a quote about signature books and Esperanza or something like that. S it's perfectly all right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ge6m 09 (talkcontribs) 12:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

For your comment/message[1]. Actually, I am in love with images, for in 1965, at age 15, my passion was professional photography, Nikon was my favorite. As frustrated photographer, I failed on many attempts at Commons to upload due to ignorance of the litany of rules amid my lawyer/judge's knowledge of laws: yes, nightmare laws (only to find Wiki laws are lazy-hard to read). Then, I discovered that upon copying the best parts of administrators' user pages, I got the best images-user boxes, and patterns. Filipinos are good copycats, our trademark, me. The research took me weeks, saving drafts. On my 200 links about my dwarf-case story, I had to scan and upload on photobucket/friendster/flicker the Supreme Court resolutions and documents-pleadings from my 1999-2006 suspension, etc.

BTW, I love your Barack Obama image. As gifted, I first predicted Hilary to be the next President, but, Mr. Mark Jimenez here, failed me and refused to give me audience due to fear of dwarfs. So, I foretold the fall of the Hilary Presidency. I posted Obama user box on my page, but I had not made any prophecy on this, just user box and image.
On the navy, that you love, let me share this.[2] Kelly Brown, retired Master Chief Petty Officer- my YM and email chat mate, who said, I was his friend, had - 26 years on Active Duty U.S. Navy. Was Stationed at HSL-41 Naval Air Station North Island San Diego, CA. He lived in Iowa. I erased his confidential USA multi-award info, for security reasons. Completely Retired April 12 2002. He how lives in retirement at age 50 with wife no child in Tanauan, Leyte, Philippines, with great wealth and pension, plus mansion. Essentially, reading between the lines, Kelly admitted rampant corruption in USA navy procurement etc.
Parenthetically, I created this legendary - The Earth is not only for humans and animals Healing and Prophecy, The 3 Mystic Philippine Dwarves 1,375 replies, jfloro 63,880 views and legendary 28 pages.[3] - I had been loved and never had been forsaken in RUSH, but here I am presently encountering the most difficult Trial of my Wiki - Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Florentino floro (a cursory perusal thereof reveals that here in Wikipedia, since July 2007, I had never failed any editor, but only one Filipino editor, my school mate in our alma mater Ateneo de Manila, asked to block my account, inter alia. Just saying and cheers. (Sorry for TLDR).--Florentino floro (talk) 12:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Obama-Biden image

I often experience the removal of some images I borrowed from Commons due to restrictions of use on user pages. So, I select ones which are 100% free for public domain without any restrictions on licensing. So, how about these pics to replace the removed Obama-Biden image - just suggesting - I want to put these also in my page.[4] and [5] Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 07:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks too. Copyright laws are most complex. In my 4 years, as law student and in the Bar Exams of 1983, commercial law is just 5% of the laws included, while copyright law is just 2% of the 5% Commercial law. While our Copyright law was borrowed from USA laws, still, English Wikipedia deals with International and UK, USA, etc. laws on copyright. Why? Because of ambulance chasers-attorneys who are greedy mercenaries of lawsuits on copy vios. Wikipedia is just careful on this, for it means business. Now, I had a problem in language, amid my expertise in law, since, journalists are predators of best words and phrases in reporting (AFP, WSJ, AP, CNN, etc.). I had to use internet tools, thesaurus, but more often, due to stress in Wikipedia amid these Filipino-Rfc problem here, I often contribute with sort of bad language, for I am so afraid of copyright violations here. Here in the Philippines, there is no copyright violations, if 20% more or less of the news/report is copy pasted in thesis, etc. But in Wikipedia, the account may be blocked. So, I painfully waste time, selecting words to use my own language in editing, but the end result seems not so good. Thus, my adopter and others might have called me here a poor editor. My philosophy in Wikipedia, is: "No Image, no article." I love images, and most of my created articles have none. You and I have the same feelings and bad times on this. But Wikipedia must be protected against lawyers-predators of Copy vio lawsuits. My own article image had been problematic[6], and in disgust, I cannot even edit my poorly and unjustly written article of myself Florentino Floro.
In Commons, about 20 images I uploaded were removed, and I was blocked for 20 days, due to copyright violations (and despite reading the rules, I could not understand, since I only learned computer and internet when I was Googled on April 7, 2006, unlike my Filipino detractors who are master of Information Technology)[7]. But I learned and had successfully uploaded my own pictures, learning the just, right and fair way.[8]. IN SUM, I fervently hope that Barack Obama makes it. But I am neutral since my gifts never gave me a view of who will win this USA election amid the previous curse I had been endowed to foresee on the Hilary Presidency. The presidency is a matter of destiny, and no skeptic can argue wise or otherwise. Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 11:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, may I please request you to submit some comment on my[9]and User:Maxschmelling's twin petitions-complaints on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for blocking. Despite the long RFC, where Max lost, and was warned not to stalk me, since September 25, Max refused to stop stalking me and my edits. This is a sad day for Wikipedia. Cheers.[10]

Karl W. Hofmann image upload

Goodday mate! (I always wanted to say that) In order to upload the image in question you probalby have to save it to a file on your computer. The destination file name box browser takes you to your computer and you just go to the place where you stored the file. Hope this helps. «Marylandstater» «reply» 02:00, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

When you go to the picture of Hofman on the internet, run your mouse over the picture and right click. You should be prompted to several things; chose "save image as". Save it to your computer, the file extention should be ".jpg" or ".jpeg". Then go to wikipedia and pull down the upload file box. Pick "A work from a U.S. federal government source" open the browser and find the image.jpg that you saved. It should work.--«Marylandstater» «reply» 01:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Royalmate1. I have removed this category tag from your userpage as due to the all encompassing nature of the category it has been decided that it should be used only to store subcategories and a few highly relevant project-space pages. Icewedge (talk) 01:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Milocox Home Inspections

 

A tag has been placed on Milocox Home Inspections requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Eeekster (talk) 23:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
