[edit] criticisms
I re-added a criticism which was removed because the removee stated that there was no citation and the aledged problem had been fixed anyway. I think that the more appropriate action to take in this case would be to request a citation be found to show the problem existed rather than removing it all together. Many reviews were made prior to the fix being made, so it would have been a valid criticism of the game at its release as so would be suitable for this page. --Aspectacle 02:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism!!
Someone vandalised the mesmer description, I'll go remove it now...
[edit] story section?
For a wikipedia article, the story section for this page seems a bit legthy. Any ideas on things to shorten/omit? Ivynn Hammersong 19:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Tough question. It could perhaps be shortened by trimming out some of the lore.
- For example the following is mostly lore and not really core to the storyline: "Kryta is the domain of a relatively new religious group called the White Mantle. The White Mantle are an organization who were formed by Saul D'Alessio to fight the Charr when the Krytan royalty proved unable to. After destroying Ascalon, the Charr headed to Kryta and Orr to destroy the two remaining kingdoms. Saul and his White Mantle Army defeated the invading Charr with the aid of their "Unseen Gods". After the Mantle defeated the Charr, they went on a counter offensive through the Shiverpeaks, but Saul, like Rurik, died a martyr in the icy mountain range some time between the Sundering and Rurik's exodus." It could be trimmed down to: "Kryta is the home of the White Mantle, a religious order who have successfully repelled the attacks of the Charr with the aid of their "Unseen Gods"."
- The reference to ecto in the FOW/UW section can surely go. --Aspectacle 23:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] suggested profession move
I don't have any particular objections to the move. This article, more so than the other campaign articles, is pretty weak. The argument for split was fairly weak so it always feels a bit vulnerable to me to being merged back into the Guild Wars article because the only thing which isn't shared with other campaigns is the plot!
If the move goes ahead consider adding in the other professions too because half of the reverts to the 'main' page will be people adding the other four professions in (this has happened before). Perhaps duplicate the profession information; put the profession name for the main page and details on the campaign? --Aspectacle —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 05:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- If such a move would happen, it seems like the main Guild Wars page would contain the "core" aspects (such as core Professions, major PvP areas) with links to the main page from each of the campagin pages. If this would be updated, I would not object this move. Ivynn Hammersong 01:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Guildbox.jpg
Image:Guildbox.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
