Thanks much for cleaning up the vandalism on my page. I appreciate it a ton and helps me out when someone else does it for me. So again, thanks much and feel free to tell me if there is anything I can do in return!

Runescape Cheat Sites
huh, i thought wikipedia was about informing people, not being SILENT on certain subjects. it makes sense to have a couple of the MOST POPULAR cheating websites listed, or at least mentioned. perhaps there should be an article about runescape cheating instead. you can not make wikipedia jagex's puppet.
Jeremybub 01:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, but cheat sites are *not* appropriate here. They do nothing to improve the article, they are a potential threat to RuneScape players (drive-by keylogger attacks), and they give Jagex sufficient reason to order us to remove the RuneScape screenshots in the articles. Cheating also ruins the game for legitimate players. CaptainVindaloo t c e 02:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
that does not make sense... if you do not want people getting keylogged, then show them real cheats, and they will not find the viruses.you should not just pretent real cheating does not exist.
Jeremybub 02:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not pretending it doesn't exist. I'm also not pretending that those links harm the article. Excessive fansite links are bad enough, never mind cheat sites. CaptainVindaloo t c e 02:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
perhaps, just the single most popular site? Jeremybub 04:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's a matter for Talk:RuneScape, but I doubt it. We might as well be linking to a hacking site in the Microsoft Windows article, and it'll need a higher Alexa rank than the RuneHQ, Tip.it and Zybez fansites. CaptainVindaloo t c e 21:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey do think this is needed? I haven't added it since SWAT and SWAT 2 don't have there own articles yet.--Clyde (talk) 23:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- I count four articles as it is, so yes, I think it's a good idea, especially as navigation around the series is currently a bit tricky. You could add Police Quest to it aswell, although never having played any of them, I don't know how connected they are considered to be. CaptainVindaloo t c e 01:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Rsinvite template
I just made a couple small changes to {{Rsinvite}}, such as adding an image and a category. What do you think? Any suggestions? I'm hoping to help recruitment with this template when we find people who contribute a lot but haven't joined. Pyrospirit Shiny! 19:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Perfect. I'll just reduce the image though, it has artifacts the size of elephants at that scale. Hmm, do you have anything for SVG-ifying images? I don't, sadly. An SVG would be unaffected by scaling. CaptainVindaloo t c e 19:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Appreciate it.
I appreciate you taking care of my images while I was gone. Hope they helped out (and I lol at the abundant vandals and impersonators on it; Darklight Special Attack got hit hard).
If you haven't noticed yet, I've added a huge number of images lately (even ones after you updated the Fair Use credentials on the first set). I would like to see if you can deem which images are worthy to stay in the articles, especially in the main RuneScape one, as I have just recently added two equipment-based ones for the mention of graphics:
Image:Runescape equipment armours dragon-chikoritapro.gif
Image:Runescape equipment armours decorativearmour-gold.gif
I can't decide between the two, but maybe some of ya can decide which one to keep in the article, if either at all.
I can't even tell if placing that Magic Tablet breaking animation is appropriate lol.
Thanks again for the help. Tarikochi 01:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
No problem keeping your images free of "RUNESCAPE SUX LOLOLOLOL!!!!111one!1". Those annoying vandals get everywhere. :-)
I've had a look at those new uploads; I think Image:Runescape equipment armours dragon-chikoritapro.gif would be the best to keep, since dragon is more well-known. Still, its your call.
I might move some of the images related to transport or teleportation to
- Both those equipment animations have some sort of benefit. The Gold Castle Wars one have me wearing that Party Hat I never wear and shows the stereotypical elitist outfit, while the Dragon one looks more normal to a RuneScape player, and somewhat stereotypical elitist. However, the Gold Castle Wars one has a sloppier background while the Dragon one is kind of already represented in a Combat image. It's too hard for me to choose.
- It would be easier to just keep both, but seeing the crap I went through a year ago, I have a feeling that ain't gonna happen.
- Either way, one thing's true: whatever the scenario is, there is bound to be someone attempting to impersonate me with 'em :p. Tarikochi 19:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oh yea, another thing. I have uploaded all my images onto the RuneScape Wiki, so if you think there are any images that Wikipedia needs, you can find them listed in a category I made. Tarikochi 19:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- AAARGH what's happened to wikia?! Speaking of which, I think RSW is GFDL, so we could get any additional images from there, if we needed them. CaptainVindaloo t c e 19:50, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- No idea, but the link works fine to me. All my images in Wikipedia have them at the bottom of the description. Tarikochi 19:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

- WHOIS shows 68.97.11.185 (the original and best) and 66.245.154.227 (the new improved recipe) as being from two different ISPs. Initially, I'd doubt that a POV pusher would be so determined as to change ISP, but then again, some are. :-\ What really beats me is why we have so much trouble over a computer game. I mean, it's not exactly some controversial facet of politics or religion, is it? CaptainVindaloo t c e 16:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I feel that anyone could just find a picture of Andrew from the net, then post into Wikipedia, claiming that the photo is their own. Reading Talk:Andrew Gower, I assume that there are photos of him all around the net indeed.
There should be at least a note on who took the picture, if not the picture uploader himself. At the moment, the only descriptions are the dual-license + an obvious summary. I was expecting to see something like where did the image come from.
If in doubt, the source tag may be removed, and I won't object it. But I think that in that case, a discussion should be opened at Image_talk:Andrew Gower.jpg, about what actions should be made in order for the picture to stay in Wikipedia. ~Iceshark7 (talk) 12:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
It would be appreciated if you contribute to this discussion regarding the appropriateness of this image. Thanks. Tarikochi 00:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll give it some thought. I'm trying to get out of the RS series now, to be honest. I don't need the extra stress it's placing on me (more than an article about a computer game should be able to) at this point in time, unfortunately. It may be better to ask the current contributors. Sorry I took my time responding by the way. I've been on wikibreak due to - in order - christmas, net connection problems, exams and daft timetabling leaving me too tired to edit WP reliably, so I've only been checking in every few days. CaptainVindaloo t c e 20:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- I appreciate the consideration. Hope you feel better away from Wikipedia. I know how exactly it could get. Tarikochi 01:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving WP. It's just the high traffic/turnover of the RS pages as well as the constant stream of vandals, trolls and POV pushers are getting me down a bit. I'll be moving onto lower-key projects like Armed and Dangerous (the shooter I ripped my username off when the first three I tried didn't work >_<). Anyway, back to the image issue, I'll try to be as neutral as possible. WP:PUI is the wrong venue, the image is acknowledged to be unfree and has the appropriate tags and rationales. The image serves the purpose of illustrating the point about customisable avatars, as well as usefully illustrating the general appearance of avatars and the game's graphics in general. The rationale could be reinforced to illustrate this point. However, the animation could really do with being shortened and compressed; at 1.67MB it's a little hefty. It'll take about 4 minutes to download over a 56k dialup connection. Maybe just go through one set of gear? Feel free to copy or link this comment to the PUI debate. Hope this helps, CaptainVindaloo t c e 17:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
