Faction Icons

I was wondering if you could make more faction icons like this one but for the main enemy faction of the expansion, currently 2 which have defined icons(since i don't know what the heck happened in the Burning crusade), the Scourge and the Twilight Hammer, just those 2--Ashbear160 (talk) 00:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

The Main enemy factions only:

...Pictures too big if anybody knows how to make them smaller plz fix it...

--Ashbear160 (talk) 00:41, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Not exactly sure why they would be needed... only reason Scryers and Aldor got them was because you could align yourself or be hostile with them. Whereas the Scourge and Twilight members would always be hostile, for the most part.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 04:16, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you make them? It's annoying having to use neutral icons to represent the big bad factions of the expansion--Ashbear160 (talk) 22:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

If someone will do this not forget the Illidari... (I never see a standard of the Burning Legion):

Thousand Needles

Did you want me to cite sources when adding that information? The revert button is usually reserved for vandals... Needle in a Haystack (talk) 07:52, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

It's an unneeded comment and completely irrelevant.

No clue, probably not.

Quick question, sorry to bother you.

Would you mind me using your charcter page for your Night Elf Hunter as a template for my own character in game, I'm not a RPer but I like creative writing and would like permission to both use the page as a template and the permission to add the page in general.

Many thanks Extractum (talk · contr)--Paladin-General of Stormwind 11:41, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't mind.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 21:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Frontal view

Hello! I've seen the better image requests. I can take another one for Sergeant Houser without problems, but Alyssa Blaye and Travist Bosk (as well as Eldin Partridge) are close facing the practice dummies, and I think it will be difficult to obtain a better image. Anyhow, I'll try. Bye :) --Forco (talk) 11:49, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I knew there had to be reason. If you can get better shots, thank you, if it's not possible go ahead and remove the cleanup tag and state in the edit summary something like, "not possible".

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 07:53, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Done for Sergeant Houser; in the file page I still see the old image, while in the NPC's page I see the new one, and I don't understand why. For the other three, I think that's the better I can do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Forco (talk · contr).

It does that occasionally.

Image problems

I tried to update a photo and for some reason i ended up with the older version and not the new one. The Alchemic Warrior of Travels (talk) 22:34, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

That happens occasionally. It will fix itself in time.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Well anyways. I was putting some updated photos and seen that before. The Alchemic Warrior of Travels (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Ironforge Airport map

You tagged File:Ironforge-Airport.jpg as being a policy violation, but left no explanation that I could find. What is the problem? —MJBurrage^(T•C) 18:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

While I know the place is easily accessible by flying mount and a specific flight path, I believe that detailing the path that players can take that involved exploiting the world environment is still against our policy. That is why it's marked as a possible violation and not just deleted.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

How is it an exploit if anyone can walk the path shown? No add-ons, macros, etc. are required, just jumping over obstacles. —MJBurrage^(T•C) 23:18, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

To even start the path one would have to exploit the starting point.... the rest of it may require no effort, but the beginning does.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

How is jumping forward, and then jumping forward again from where you landed an exploit? —MJBurrage^(T•C) 23:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

It was an exploit prior to the cataclysm and an exploit now. I'm not going to argue about this. Nothing has changed.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I am not trying to be argumentative, I really don't see how it is an exploit. Did Blizzard state this was an exploit? How is it any different than getting to Foggy MacKreel? —MJBurrage^(T•C) 23:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Cause he was intended to get to. Jumping down and climbing a mountain are two different things.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Where does it say that jumping in the mountains is considered an exploit? (real question, again not trying to be argumentative) —MJBurrage^(T•C) 23:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Unused files

Since you seem to be the person who handles this most, please let me know and my apologies if there are any I left behind. Maybe some day I will be experienced enough and seek admin rights so I can clean up after myself. (Or I could just not be so messy in the future.) Thanks. --Bellocois (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I placed that template just to keep track of the ones that weren't being link to on your page or their own articles. If you do find an image not being used just mark it for speedydelete. =)

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:01, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

I've always loved the work of the major contributors and I just want to say "thank you" for helping me clean up the articles I've been adding over the past week. I've just been snapping screenshots of every NPC I come across and slowly getting around to adding them as time permits. I always go back and look at the fixes you put in for me and it helps me learn about style and "where stuff goes." Hopefully, one of these days, I'll have a good enough hang of this that I won't leave you so much work to do. Anyways, thanks again for your patience and work. John Yithnal (talk) 16:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Happy to help. =)

How do you do Warcraft 2 screenshots without crosshatching on minimap?

Hi, I saw your File:Beetle_Island.jpg (compare to one of my screenshots: img220.imageshack.us/img220/4884/dareregionofthechanneli.png and was wondering, how do you do Warcraft 2 screenshots of the minimap without the crosshatching/fine grid put over on the minimap of areas not currently visible to make them darker?

Even when I use the cheat (press enter type 'showpath' then enter again, that one) it just displays all of the map and stuff that isn't currently being 'seen' by one of your people is greyed out/crosshatched out on the minimap. So not sure how you took that screenshot? Thanks for any info :)

Might be good to post the info on the wiki for others so it's common knowledge, especially if you know how to do the same for the other games like Warcraft 1/3 etc! I have only just been trying them out cos I was curious about the background story behind world of warcraft --Kittymew (talk) 12:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

It's been a long time since I uploaded that... I don't even know if I copied it from a badly named file or from battle.net. Either way, I didn't personally take the image.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 04:53, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Scout Galiaan and friends

I had put the Cataclysm shots in separate locations so the old ones would still be accessible. I can see the logic of what you did since the old version is in the file history, but it still seems more logical to have something we can link directly to and say "This is what the character looked like before Cataclysm." Not that the specifics of Named Guard #439's page matter in the long run, but still. --Bellocois (talk) 03:20, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

If it was a completely new model or completely different look, then I'd say yes, keep an old image to see, but when the only difference is they added a tabard... that's not enough to keep both files. The image history can be viewed if users want to see them without the tabard.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 03:23, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

While I'm here, you tagged some images for deletion that are linked from my user page as being part of my (extended) to-do list. I did upload a bunch recently that I didn't create pages for or link to as needing pages, but I plan to remedy that in the next 24 hours or so. --Bellocois (talk) 03:32, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh no no, that is not the speedy delete tag. That is simply an unused image marker. I use it to keep track of images that are currently not being used in articles. It's also another way for users to see if articles are needed, by seeing there's an image in need of an article. I would never delete those.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 03:34, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Your opinion is desired

Hey, just wanted to get your opinion on Talk:Archbishop Benedictus about whether or not the "he staged a coup" note from patch 1.4.1 should be considered lore or not. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:35, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Adding my 2 cents. Coobra could you vote in Category talk:Patch templates, regarding the change of icon in Cataclysm Patch templates. I would be very grateful:) Encaitar 22:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Where are they now?

Just hit upon the Where are they now? section of your user site, and it's the most comprehensive of its type so far. I've posted my own MIA lists on the usual forums before, and had been thinking of compiling one myself. In the meantime, I got a response from a GM ticket regarding another MIA character, Arko'narin. — Deepred (talk) 04:54, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh nice =). Did you get a screenshot of the conversation to be used as a reference in case anyone contests it?

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 05:03, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Indeed I did. I can upload it on request. — Deepred (talk) 06:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 06:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

You could probably put this in the main space under an appropriate title, whatever that may be. It has the potential to draw significant attention in the way Horde bias unintentionally did when I created it. Actually, now that I mention that page, it's probably best that you don't move it, let alone let the forums near it. (Kidding. Sort of! :-P) --Bellocois (talk) 08:05, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Heh.. well I started off wanting to do this during the beta... but after getting into finally doing it... I saw that they were still leaving many NPCs out (to be added later) and with the phasing, I wouldn't be able to just fly through zones looking for specific things.. I'd have to quest through the zones. But new toons come after older toons... so eventually I'll get back to this. I'd just prefer to being able to control it on my userspace, rather than letting it run rampant like Horde/Alliance bias =P.

User Templates (?)

Not sure if I titled the headline right or not. However I was wondering where I would be able to find more of the

objects. I've forgotten the URL and haven't been able to find it on WoWPedia --Alindaloran (talk) 10:52, January 12, 2010

You can look at all "User*" templates here —EGingell^TC Treader of Cenarion Circle 09:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Admiral Nightwing

I said in the summary he needed to be renamed to Admiral Nightwind. Hallowseve (talk) 13:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Admiral Nightwind already existed, hence it's deletion.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 21:34, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Class thing

It has to be consistent with playable races like the night elves. They have the WoW classes at the top.--Atomos (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

And Highborne elves are actually playable so they should count.--Atomos (talk) 01:12, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Tinkering (Engineering)

I am moved to mirth... having had the page I created turned into a redirect, then deleted to make way for the page it was directing to. I guess I am confirmed in my guess as to the correctness of my choice of name. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Aye. I didn't realize Tinkering (Engineering) had also just been made, thought Tinkering (engineering) was a duplicate, but it is the correct name.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:40, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Ayup. Someone ELSE had made Tinkering (Engineering) by the time I came along. And by george, they must have been making it at about the same time I was making mine! --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 00:54, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

According to the logs, Grynd starting making the page 3hrs or so before you. =P

Old Mammoth

Heya, could you possibly move the article "Last Weeks Mammoth" to "Last Week's Mammoth"? I know it's only a minor typo, but I still find it somewhat annoying. WoWpedia might be more "human-made" than WoW-databases such as Wowhead which digs data directly, but it should still be on par with it when it comes to names! Also, if possible, it'd be nifty if you could make "Last Weeks Mammoth" redirect to the new page. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 22:39, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Your opinion is desired

Hey Coobra, the Alliance-Horde War article is constantly changed to include Malfurion as an Alliance commander, while hee actually doesn't take part in the conflict similar to Lady Liadrin, Hamuul Runetotem, Varok Saurfang or even Thrall who are not listed. Could you please visit Talk:Alliance–Horde War and discuss. I really think he doesn't fit there, as he is more neutral as leader of Cenarion Circle (just like the 4 Horde commanders who simply do not take part in the war eventhough they're in the Horde). Thanks in advance Encaitar 20:35, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Well he's not exactly the neutral leader but the alliance representative of the cenarion circle--Ashbear160 (talk) 10:23, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Sapient race templates

Ugh i'm sorry if i complain too much but it seems gourra doesn't know that the sapient templates are made to fit certain things and he's changing the templates to fit the name of the article, which PCJ named it wrong...--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for being annoyance, but i really took a long time to arrange the templates--Ashbear160 (talk) 01:39, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Forsaken

Should i change

"Among the tauren the Forsaken found a champion in Magatha Grimtotem, who argued in favor of the alliance between the two peoples and who continues to work closely with them. Magatha claims she merely wants to aid the Forsaken in their quest to redeem themselves, although there are many who believe her true motives to be something very different and much less innocent."

with newer source:

"The kind-hearted tauren of Thunder Bluff proved to be the most promising contact. Specifically, Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem saw the potential for redemption in Sylvanas’ people, even though he was fully aware of the Forsaken’s sinister nature. Thus, the tauren convinced Warchief Thrall, despite his misgivings, to forge an alliance of convenience between the Forsaken and the Horde."

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/race/forsaken

Because in Cata Grimtotem and forsaken Relations made no Reference at all The quests could possibly has been retcon and blizzard website changed it from magtha to Hamuul.--Forsakenlord (talk) 22:42, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Couldn't they both have argued in favor of them...

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 23:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

could be however with shattering magtha never called the forsaken to aid her against baine bloodhoof instead asking garrosh aid + forsaken info from new website + No Reference made between the forsaken and Grimtotem + Grimtotem never sought the forsaken aid + Grimtotem Allied with Alliance (forsaken hatred enemy)= retcon? --Forsakenlord (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

No i mean i don't know how to make an article separate the creature from the ability do i add something to the name of the article or something?--Ashbear160 (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

What do you want to call the creature? The same exact thing as the ability? If so, use lower case for the race. Guardian of ancient kings .

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:13, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

You know, it needs something. Like any lore at all.--SWM24 48 22:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

That would help too... it's why I never bothered with making a page for them.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:25, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Well i originally planned so i could remove a spell(with all it's spells things) from sapient species template, but then i remeber that they haven't shown any proof of being sapient, i still want to the article but there's not much lore either--Ashbear160 (talk) 22:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Mountfooter changes

I would like to see a couple of changes to the Mountfooter subpages:

Skeletal Horse mounts - currently Mountfooter/Skeletal lists the category as "skeletal", which is already stretched to include the ebon blade DK mount. It absolutely breaks when you include the raptor. There are too many Skeletal Horses specifically to break that category that way. I would see them moved to Unique for now.
I would see all the sub-page mount links re-jiggered to remove the icons. The icons are only useful if there's a distinct difference, and for the most part there isn't one.

Rather than ask forgiveness, I thought I would ask your opinion on them first. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 21:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Just telling the opinion, 'cuz i'm editing mount pages a bit nowadays and i agree that fossilized raptor and dk mount need to be put in some other category, but i'm not sure that it's needed to get rid of icons. Drdead (talk) 23:38, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:Alliance Sidebar

Hey there Coobra, i'm trying to keep the pages clean and up to date, i just see Gabrirt post anything on side bars thinking anyone can be on there without a reason or role they have to be up and just throws up anything in the Alliance up there, Hope you understand im doing the edits for the good of the pages and everyone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArbiterX122591 (talk · contr).

Just for the record i removed the titles from the leaders because:

A)They're bloating the template

B)They're unnecessary since you can click on the link and see their title

--Ashbear160 (talk) 22:40, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Someone removed all the race icons from the alliance page before you protected it... could you add them back?--Ashbear160 (talk) 23:01, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Ashbear160 i love how you really fixed up the side bars and made them stand out :) Hope you got some more great ideas and continue to protect the page like me, Admins can't be everywhere up to us to keep them clean for them.--ArbiterX122591 (talk) 23:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Quite the hypocrite since you reverted the same type of edit. --g0urra[T҂C] 00:44, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I personally think the Admins, should lock the Alliance & Horde Pages and have someone in the adminstration, play around with those posts and have pple submit info, so there is only accurate information. Spam or inaccruate is turned away —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArbiterX122591 (talk · contr).

If I had the time, I would... but I don't so I won't. The article has gotten out of hand, and I tried to help repair before, but I can't monitor it daily and protecting the page forever is against the spirit of the wiki.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 00:33, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

As much as I hate to be the bad guy, I banned Ashbear160 for three days. This was getting out of hand.--SWM24 48 00:36, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not arguing or anything, but my point of view never thought Ashbear160 was doing anything wrong, he seemed to always make the Sidebar look more clean, standout and look alot better. I think Gabrirt should get a major ban for the Alliance and Horde Pages cause he seemed to always just throw anything on the page and so many people including Coobra and myself had to reapir what he did and he continued over and over. and should i get a Minior or Major Ban whatever you choose, cause were i have always un-done his posts everytime i seem he had edited and thats against the rules of the Wiki, but did for the good of the page. We are the only two who seem to fight and argue over stuff on the page and we didnt recieve any bans and most of problem was infact us .. so i will leave it to you Admins on your decisions. comment was added by ArbiterX122591 (talk · contr).

Digsite Map template

So... What is your plan for a) zones with more than one digsite in them? b) zones with overlapping digsites? With {{Digsite Map}} you've kinda put an end to any further digsite maps I'd put up. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 23:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Yea, I been slowly taking images of the maps with digsites and merging them together so only 1 map image with highlights would be needed. Then with that template each spot can be pointed to and placed on the zone article. It's slow going cause I haven't been focused on the profession. Once I get a complete zone with several digsite, the example will look better.

Question page and a petty thing

Can i create a question page based on this thread http://www.scrollsoflore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8471, just to see if i can gather a larger number of questions on this page? if i can, can you just give the name you think it's best?

The petty thing is that i cannot remove the spaces between leaders and races in the infoboxes of the horde and the alliance, it wouldn't be a problem if it was in all of them, the problem is that some have spaces and other do not --Ashbear160 (talk) 01:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

If you want, I think Scrolls of Lore is doing a pretty good job at it. I would make a forum post, under Warcraft Lore, rather than make an article... as for the name Dev Lore Questions would work fine. As for the infobox issue... don't think there is much you can do about that.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 02:11, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I would prefer if it wasn't a forum page, because i want people to improve each other questions if possible, add points to the question or just rephrase it better--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Would probably get more attention if on the forum, than a randomly named article.

It's just that in the forum, we can't change each other questions to improve them, in a article we can, and also to divide the discussion from the actual questions would be useful too--Ashbear160 (talk) 03:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Well i don't have time to set it up now that the round 2 started :P, anyway is there any page that has the Dev Lore answers saved and if not can i create one?--Ashbear160 (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Ask CDev.--SWM24 48 02:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

User:Ashbear160/CDev Questions Here's the example i just need to find a way to do a format and i think it's good enough--Ashbear160 (talk) 00:39, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't think the format is very good but i have no further ideas, anyway what do you think, and can i turn it into a project page(i figured a project page would be a better page for a page with rules)?i also posted one question as a example of the format--Ashbear160 (talk) 00:57, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I had a few ideas for this the other night, but forgot to write it down... I'll take a look at your example and get back to you in a bit.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 01:21, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Err... so what do you think?--Ashbear160 (talk) 12:41, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

It's a good start, but I'm thinking about more details and adding a rating system as well. More on this later though.

(^Sssss/_Slithered) 07:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm how would a rating system work?--Ashbear160 (talk) 13:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

A vote under every question? I personally do not like arbitrary rules unless absolutely necessary.--SWM24 48 17:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes i know it's with votes but i'm asking about the specific code--Ashbear160 (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

{{Vote}}? Though I do not see why someone could not just ask them all in the presumed next round.--SWM24 48 20:53, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Well in scrolls of lore it was done because some people prefer only to post the most popular questions

No matter... it's not a voting system, simply a way to see how many users/players have a strong desire to know. I believe I have finished the layout for it, see User:Coobra/CDev questions. However, I'm undecided on which route to go with for the stars...

Template:Rating/doc - Displays 5 full silver stars before switching to gold.
Template:Rating/dev/doc - Starts with one star from gray to gold, before going to star number 2.

Number 2 will allow for easy expansion should more than 20 like the question, but I'm not sure if the style of it is that great. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 22:58, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes you're link is much better, DTZ the point is that it's either metzen, or a very good impersonator, the emphasis on "Very good"--Ashbear160 (talk) 19:46, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

*shrug* Believe what you will, then. Ultimately, what matters is that 4chan isn't a trustworthy source, so none of it is going on Wowpedia. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:50, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

+== Categories ==
+Hello! I have just a question: after the removal of many characters from wow, from their pages have been removed all the categories, like [http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=Duke_Hydraxis&action=historysubmit&diff=2547009&oldid=2524389 in this case]. I have a doubt: in the case of Hydraxis have been removed  the quest givers category (and that's fine, because he gives no more quests), the azshara NPCs category (also correct, he's no more present in azshara) and also the water elementals category. This one left me puzzled, because he's ''still'' a water elemental, even if he's no more present in-game. It would be like removing, for example, [[Oakwidow]] from the night elf category because she's not present in-game, or not? The same with [http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Coobra&action=edit&section=new Bale], and so on... --[[User:Forco|Forco]] ([[User talk:Forco|talk]]) 16:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

+Even when I use the cheat (press enter type 'showpath' then enter again, that one) it just displays all of the map and stuff that isn't currently being 'seen' by one of your people is greyed out/crosshatched out on the minimap. So not sure how you took that screenshot? Thanks for any info :)
+Might be good to post the info on the wiki for others so it's common knowledge, especially if you know how to do the same for the other games like Warcraft 1/3 etc!

+== [[Scout Galiaan]] and friends ==
+I had put the Cataclysm shots in separate locations so the old ones would still be accessible. I can see the logic of what you did since the old version is in the file history, but it still seems more logical to have something we can link directly to and say "This is what the character looked like before Cataclysm."

+:If it was a completely new model or completely different look, then I'd say yes, keep an old image to see, but when the only difference is they added a tabard... that's not enough to keep both files.

+While I'm here, you tagged some images for deletion that are linked from my user page as being part of my (extended) to-do list.

+:Oh no no, that is not the speedy delete tag. That is simply an unused image marker. I use it to keep track of images that are currently not being used in articles.

+== Old Mammoth ==
+Heya, could you possibly move the article "Last Weeks Mammoth" to "Last Week's Mammoth"? I know it's only a minor typo, but I still find it somewhat annoying. WoWpedia might be more "human-made" than WoW-databases such as Wowhead which digs data directly, but it should still be on par with it when it comes to names! Also, if possible, it'd be nifty if you could make "Last Weeks Mammoth" redirect to the new page.

+== Your opinion is desired ==
+Hey Coobra, the [[Alliance-Horde War]] article is constantly changed to include Malfurion as an Alliance commander, while hee actually doesn't take part in the conflict similar to [[Lady Liadrin]], [[Hamuul Runetotem]], [[Varok Saurfang]] or even [[Thrall]] who are not listed. Could you please visit [[Talk:Alliance–Horde War#Malfurion is not an Alliance commander|Talk:Alliance–Horde War]] and discuss. I really think he doesn't fit there, as he is more neutral as leader of Cenarion Circle (just like the 4 Horde commanders who simply do not take part in the war eventhough they're in the Horde).

+"Among the tauren the Forsaken found a champion in Magatha Grimtotem, who argued in favor of the alliance between the two peoples and who continues to work closely with them. Magatha claims she merely wants to aid the Forsaken in their quest to redeem themselves, although there are many who believe her true motives to be something very different and much less innocent."
+with newer source:
+"The kind-hearted tauren of Thunder Bluff proved to be the most promising contact. Specifically, Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem saw the potential for redemption in Sylvanas’ people, even though he was fully aware of the Forsaken’s sinister nature. Thus, the tauren convinced Warchief Thrall, despite his misgivings, to forge an alliance of convenience between the Forsaken and the Horde."
