Gielinor

Hello Loismustdie231, and thank you for your contributions to Gielinor, 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: Wikipedia is not a game guide. all content must be of a neutral point of view. all content must be verifiable. The RuneScape pages are not written for players; they are written for those who may know nothing at all about RuneScape. 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.

Whilst I appreciate your notification to me, I have absolutely no idea what in the hell you are talking about, because I made absolutely no changes at all in any way to the text of that page, all I did was take some of the words on it and link them to the proper article on the Runescape Wiki for ppl who wish to find out about those things in more detail.......... sooooooooo......... yeah......... but......... whatever floats your boat.....

We link to the RuneScape Wiki at the bottom of the page, so links to every related page in the RSW really is putting information into the article that's detailed beyond the scope of this encyclopedia. >>' Though looking back on it, my message may have been slightly inaccurate because you didn't directly add info, in which case I apologize for any confusion it caused. You can just ignore it or archive it or whatever, I guess. Pyrospirit Shiny! 19:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Putting information..... into the article..... that's detailed..... beyond the scope..... of..... ok see there again that's still saying as though I added to it..... again..... I did not add any more information than was already in it..... but..... whatever floats your boat..... Loismustdie231 08:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I looked up Wikipedia's policy on fancruft, and found that you are completely wrong in every way. Wikipedia has absolutely no policy against fancruft. That is a common misconception brought about by the people who think there should be a policy against it, or think there is and prefer it that way. So even if it was fancruft it doesn't matter. Sorry for proving you wrong..... Loismustdie231 04:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Queichheim

I came across the article on Queichheim. You said on the talk page that you translated it using Babelfish, but you didn't indicate the German-language source you used. If you still remember the source, would you be willing to put the information on the talkpage? Thanks in advance. Katherine Tredwell 18:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
