Frostborn[]

Please see WP:NAME. Thanks. Frostborn is the correct location. --Sky (t · c · w) 18:59, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

First off, the names Frostborn and Frost dwarf are not synonymous to any extent. Just because the frost dwarves are part of the Frostborn does not necessarily mean that the Frostborn are all frost dwarves.
Secondly, "The Taunka" and "Taunka" would appear in this case to be synonymous, so in fact, the two pages should probably be merged. In the event that they are not synonymous (I do not know if they are or not), than the naming scheme they employ is an exemption to the rule, as the two need to be disambiguated somehow, and keeping them at their official names is easier than naming one of them "Taunka (faction)". --Sky (t · c · w) 19:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Feel free to link the quests, though I'll take you on your word. I think then Frostborn simply needs to be redirected to Frost dwarf in this case, though I'm unsure. Let me think on it, or possibly broach it on WP:VP. --Sky (t · c · w) 19:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Negative. See The Scale of the Sands, The Defilers, and other such articles. WP:NAME says that we get rid of the "The" in names unless a disambiguation is needed or the page is about an item (I think there are a couple other exceptions, but those are the main ones). In this case, if we both agree that they should not be merged, than Frostborn is the correct location of the page. --Sky (t · c · w) 01:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Good call. It has been moved. :) --Sky (t · c · w) 02:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

No pic thing[]

I hope I didn't come off like a butthead. You didn't do anything wrong. Coobra shouldn't have made the change to Wowpedia:Nopics. That was essentially changing policy without any input. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 8:35 PM PST 6 Sep 2008

I only placed that there because I was told those images shouldn't be used on in-game NPCs cause screenshots can be easily added... by an admin I might add. I don't remember where the conversation took place or who with, but apparently it was on July 22. User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 08:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Yorg Stormheart[]

I took as reference the talk page of Muradin Bronzebeard where important editors and Ragestorm too took part stating that he is a mountain dwarf and perhaps Muradin Bronzebeard in person. However if you have other sources... --N'Nanz (talk) 09:43, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

No, stoneform is the ability of a dwarven avatar to turn into stone. However Inv gauntlets 03 [Stoneform] is the article related to the racial ability of dwarven playable race thus dwarven avatar is the best link to use. --N'Nanz (talk) 08:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I was too lazy to word it differently in Muradin's page. Feel free to change it if you want to, I just wanted to make sure people know these things. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 20:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Well, I'm not really sure. I didn't know you put it there and I just thought, "Hey, it's on Yorg's page, why not put it on Muradin's?" Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 20:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Sig[]

Images in signatures that takes up more than the line height is still frowned upon, as it uses too much space. Maximum is 20 pixels height. I suggest using a different image or not an image at all, and instead using text. g0urra[T҂C] 04:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Mag'har do not belong on the race templates.[]

From what I've seen, races that have different "species" need at least two or more unique characteristics that separates them from the main race to make it on the races template.

Mag'har really only have one. Brown skin. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 19:42, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Earthen also have a different language and different architecture. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 20:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


I did. Gourra still hasn't said anything about it. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Fine >_<. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 20:41, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Speculation[]

Please do not put non-sourced speculation in articles, this is per WP:DNP. Thanks. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!C207,729 contributions and counting) 22:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Category[]

I never touched the category's name. Wrong person. Rolandius Paladin (talk - contr) 03:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Ulduar Earthen[]

Race names by Blizzard has always been with both words starting with a capital letter, see for example Night elf and Blood elf. Ulduar Earthen is no different, and it should be Ulduar earthen according to WP:NAME. g0urra[T҂C] 11:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I aplogise if I insulted you in any part of my text. I was getting rather frustrated. However, re-reading the Discs of Norgannon has convinced me that you were correct. I'm going to take some time to rethink the material. Remember, however, that when writting things in the article you have to point to their source. That means that you should point to Lore Keeper of Norgannon or the the related quest that contains this text as one of your sources. Otherwise people like me will be automatically skeptical (as they should).

Frost dwarf image[]

Your version of Image:IconSmall_FrostDwarf_Male.gif‎ is going to be replaced unless you make a better one. Despite any inaccuracies you may think are in Varghedin's version, it looks like a dwarf, whereas yours does not. Please upload your version under a different name. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 5:09 PM PST 18 Dec 2008

Please upload your new image (this is it, right: 20081219003747!IconSmall_Frost_Dwarf_Male.gif) under a different name. It is better, but the dwarf's head still seems vertically squashed. What's that stuff going on in the lower part of the image? --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 3:45 PM PST 19 Dec 2008
Those are braids in his beard (got them from the frost dwarf image i uploaded.(not the icon i mean the first frost dwarf image i uploaded, the one on the frostborn and frost dwarf pages.))--User:Whitedragon254You know im seriously 1337 now. {T1337 to the extreme.CThe dragon protects me...that and my MG 30 glock of course..) 03:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I see they are supposed to be braid holders. I guess I don't think the braids or braid holders are necessary, since they just happen to be in the one screen capture you got. I'm pretty sure the braids or the holders are not distinct to frost dwarves. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 12:04 PM PST 22 Dec 2008
[1] How is that beard not blue? Yes, it's darker than in my image but it's definitely blue. ---- Varghedin Varghedin  talk / contribs 11:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I think the darkness was more an issue than the blueness. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 12:04 PM PST 22 Dec 2008

Re: Adminship[]

You can reapply a second time, but it's unlikely you'll pass the second time unless you've changed the negative behaviors that are noticed in the first request for adminship. --Sky (t · c · w) 17:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Anasterian image[]

Where on Wowhead did you get File:Anasterian.jpg‎? I can not find it under Anasterian.--SWM2448 22:18, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind.--SWM2448

Category removal[]

Please don't blank pages/categories, if they're no longer needed please mark for speedy deletion. Thank you, SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 01:53, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

It's ok, I forget the exact name of tags all the time myself, if anything you can always poke me to delete pages. SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 02:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
It is always good to ask.--SWM2448 02:51, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Thrall's Age[]

I detailed my point about Thrall's age in the talk page of Life Spans. It would okey if we discuss it there. --Cemotucu (talk) 01:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

BfA missions[]

Hey. Many of your update seem wrong compared to the actual missions texts. For example, you say "Fort Triumph is re-established in the Southern Barrens to stand against Desolation Hold once more.", but the actual missions says "Command wishes to reestablish Fort Triumph". Same thing for Logan, there's absolutely nothing stating he's the new leader of Bael Modan. IMO it's also not a good idea to add all of this when the expansion packs releases in four months yet. Xporc (talk) 15:14, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Uploading images[]

Hey, I've noticed that when you upload an image, no license has been chosen for it. Please, when you're uploading an image, be sure to choose the most appropriate license from the drop-down menu. This takes the load off of other users that would notice it and have to manually add it; except some will get lost in the abyss and would be harder to find (Like this back in January 2017, I just added a license today). Thanks. — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 11:32, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey, great job on the screenshots! As another request in that department, would it be possible for you, to turn up the anti-aliasing for your screenshots? The highest setting may not be needed, but turning that setting up smoothes out the edges on the models as seen here. PeterWind (talk) 09:38, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
You're still not putting licenses when uploading pictures bruh. Xporc (talk) 11:38, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey there. As this is your third warning and I had to add license to your files again, please note that next time may result in a temporary ban. Xporc (talk) 12:13, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Stromgarde[]

Hey, are you sure about the Stromgarde Soldier? Wowdb and wowhead don't have a 801 ID for Stromgarde Soldier. --Mordecay (talk) 17:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

You're right, I mixed up the names in my notes when I was looking through the warfront. My bad there, just re-checked, it is indeed Footman. --Berenal (talk) 17:56, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Do you know what was the name of the ghosts summoned by Danath? --Mordecay (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Greenskins[]

What is this dialog related to? A world quest, a quest, or what? — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 18:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Warfront when Danath is against Eitrigg. They say it shortly before Argorok is reclaimed. --Berenal (talk) 18:58, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Eyes[]

Hey, would you know of other WoD Dragonmaw that don't have the glowing eyes, besides Zaela ? -- MyMindWontQuiet 21:29, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

I honestly thought that some of the Black Iron guards in the dungeon had them, but I must've been mistaken. I just did the run, they use either the blackrock or dragonmaw old skin. Either way, I did confirm though that Zaela uses her normal gray skin in the encounter. --Berenal (talk) 21:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Thros visions[]

Would you be able to take a screenshot of the Thros visions of Varian and Rhonin as well? --ShadowShade81413 (talk) 03:46, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Wildhammer race[]

FYI I fixed the Race template Xporc (talk) 09:01, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Race icons[]

It was decided to have a team for the icons instead of allowing everyone else create icons due to a lot of icons created for characters that pretty much use the basic model. If you have a request for a race icon, you can add it to Wowpedia talk:List of unique character icons for unique characters or Wowpedia talk:List of race icons. Thanks! — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 06:02, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Edge of Night quote[]

The quote happens during the events of the novel Edge of Night, in a moment after Sylvanas commited suicide and, as of Blizzcon 2019, was confirmed she was sent to The Maw[1]. So please, leave the edit alone. Rigel1297 (talk) 23:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Except what you posted literally says nothing about that. It says their relationship began during that period, not that what she saw was the Maw. You're basing your claim off speculation.--Berenal (talk) 07:57, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
