Hello Cronus616, and thank you for your contributions to Wilderness (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.

Feel free to join in the discussion at the main RuneScape page, or at the RuneScape Portal.

Happy editing!

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:TallTalesTasteLikeSourGrapes.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 16:30, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on You and what army requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. noq (talk) 20:25, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Syobon.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Syobon.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock(TALK) 04:09, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
