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 [[WW:NAME]]. {{User:Gourra/Sig2}} 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).

Frostborn

Please see WW: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 WW:VP. --Sky (t · c · w) 19:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Negative. See The Scale of the Sands, The Defilers, and other such articles. WW: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 WoWWiki: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 WW: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 WW:NAME. g0urra[T҂C] 11:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
