I started a forum topic to try and reach a consensus.--Opark 77 20:36, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Pyke
What video is the Pyke image screencapped from?--Opark 77 17:03, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply.--Opark 77 06:30, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Main page character gallery
We're discussing altering the main page character portal on the forum. I'd appreciate your input as one of our admins.--Opark 77 21:37, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Essos map
What is the source of the image you are using for your map of Essos? I was unaware that they had released a full map yet, particularly an official one showing Ibben, Qarth, Slaver's Bay, and the Free Cities in relation to each other.


 * HBO's Viewer's Guide website.--Werthead 20:24, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Haystack Hall
Please could you make a map for Haystack Hall?--Opark 77 20:23, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, no rush. Sounds exciting, best of luck with it. Is it for your Wertzone blog or elsewhere?--Opark 77 20:43, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hello, this member has been vandalizing the Overview Season 2 page and The Night Lands pages. I undid his damage on the Overview page, but can't undo it on Night Lands. Perhaps by the time you get this it'll have been fixed, or vandalized again (I fixed it, he did it again a minute later or so, so I had to fix Overview again right away), but you're the only person I could find to bring this to the attention of.--Sir Koji: White Knight 04:33, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a quick update to say the pages were succesfully restored by Ser Koji and I have blocked the offending user.--Opark 77 10:30, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Lead
I argued against it on Boardwalk Empire wiki but I thought it was the convention here. I'm happy to drop it.--Opark 77 16:18, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

new idea
Ever thought about going here: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiFeatures and doing "Message Wall" instead of the old message board. Just so much easier. Let me know :) -- 07:01, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Typographical differences between TV series and books
Opark77 and I disagreed about how to handle this so I asked in the forum if it could be put to a vote: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Typos_and_spelling_differences_TV_vs_books?t=20120419220122 -- I go on at length in that post, but basically this concerns how you just changed "Bhonash" back to "Bhorash". I.e. I think we should assume that common terms misspelled in supplementary materials are simply an error on the part of the production crew; no TV show is ever infallible and on such a major production there are some errors, i.e. "Greytower Watch" appears on-screen on Robb's map. Maybe we should consider it if its a different spelling prominently seen on screen. But particularly, a mispelling of a rare name like "Bhorash" or "Shamyriana" only used once or twice in the books, and only appearing in the HBO viewers guide, are probably simply in error. I am not sure how to put the matter to a vote. --The Dragon Demands 18:19, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation guide
Do you have a link to the part of the HBO guide site that had the pronunciation guide on it? We need it for a web citation. --The Dragon Demands 18:19, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Duskendale
Is there a source establishing Duskendale in the adaptation? Could you add it to the article?--Opark 77 19:18, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree it is a significant location later. I'm happy to keep it until we can add more to it unless it starts being used as a precedent to add more minor locations not established in the adaptation.--Opark 77 19:42, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems sensible. I'm not sure what they're doing with the Bolton/Glover/Hornwood army after their rewrite of the Battle of the Green Fork.--Opark 77 19:48, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Request for Banning
There has been an incident: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Garden_of_Bones?diff=prev&oldid=32242 Pass the sentence and wield the sword.--The Dragon Demands 02:10, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

Images
When uploading images please could you tag them with an appropriate category. For maps we use Category: Image (Location) and for screenshots for the second season we use Category: Image (Season 2) and usually 1 other appropriate category e.g. Category: Image (Character).--Opark 77 11:38, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a reminder to please categorize your images.--Opark 77 14:13, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

I'm still finding new uncategorized images from you. Please could you take a look at our image policy. For each image that we use we need to ensure that we have the following information on the image page, all of which should be added by the uploader at the point of upload:
 * 1) The source (naming the video clip or episode for screenshots and providing a URL for images from other websites)
 * 2) A description (state what the image shows)
 * 3) A licensing tag ( for screenshots)
 * 4) Appropriate categories (e.g. Category: Image (Valar Morghulis) and Category: Image (Character) for screenshots of characters from "Valar Morghulis", to add categories type )

I have added the required information to File:Ros and Armeca.jpg. In future I hope that you will be able to add this information yourself to images that you upload. If you fail to do so I will let you know and nominate the image in question for deletion. I will then review it 1 week later and will be happy if you have added the required information so we can keep it, otherwise I will have to delete it. If you need assistance adding the required information just let me know and I will do my best to help.

I highly recommend working from a template when uploading images. Personally I always copy and paste this:

==Summary==

This image is a screencap from "EPISODE." The image is copyrighted by HBO. This image is used with the permission of HBO but on the understanding that it can be removed at any time. The image shows DESCRIPTION.

==Licensing==

Then I only need to fill in the name of the episode and a brief description.--Opark 77 12:56, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

I've just been through the last months worth of uploaded images. You are still not adding a description or a source to the majority of your uploads. I have tagged the ones I cannot fix on my own for deletion, please can you sort them out.

Please can you say where you get an image from - we can't claim we are making fair use of an image unless we establish that we know who the copyright holder is. Please can you state what your images show. I've been asking you to follow the image policy for months now, I am starting to feel really discouraged by seemingly being ignored.--Opark 77 (talk) 01:16, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Deletion
You might want to look into this; I suspect its a bot or illegal streaming site link: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Game_of_Thrones_Episode_15:_The_Ghost_of_Harrenhal?oldid=34241

--The Dragon Demands 00:47, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I've blocked the user responsible and our Queen has deleted the offending article.--Opark 77 02:33, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sysop rights Application
Opark told me I could apply with you. Some articles have been repeatedly vandalized around times Opark is not able to keep an eye here - I tend to login around those hours actually.--Gonzalo84 00:09, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Just to say I agree we could do with an active American time one admin. User:Gonzalo84 has been a consistently strong editor for several months and has been active in undoing vandalism.--Opark 77 00:35, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Just to add, I'm actually from Lima, Peru.--Gonzalo84 00:37, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Thanks for uploading:
 * File:Brandon's execution.jpg
 * File:Rhaenys Targaryen.jpg
 * File:Visenya Targaryen.jpg

Please could you add a description and categories to each of them to make them compliant with our image policy. I've nominated them for deletion in the meantime because we can't use them without this information. For the Blu-Ray featurette ones can you specify which featurette they are from?--Opark 77 15:33, May 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you.--Opark 77 22:12, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

MakingGameOfThrones.com
I have noticed that the official MakingGameOfThrones.com website by HBO includes sidebar links to several fansites, such as GRRM's Not A Blog, WinterIsComing.net, and Westeros.org itself. Given the focus of this wiki on the TV series, maybe it would be prudent to send them an e-mail asking to be included in the Links section? You have mentioned e-mailing them in the past over legal matters, etc. --The Dragon Demands 22:00, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Soundtracks and DVDs / Blu Rays
Good job on the new soundtrack article. Made me wonder if we ought to do something similar for the DVDs and Blu Rays. We have some information on the Season 1 article but not a complete listing of the featurettes etc. What do you think?--Opark 77 14:29, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * The DVD/Blu Ray name seems preferable to me too. I will make a note on my to do list and probably get around to creating them when the season is done. I remain slightly behind with the character articles from last week at the moment.--Opark 77 14:36, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Season 2
How do you feel we are doing with keeping up with season 2 generally? Any feedback or suggestions?--Opark 77 14:36, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism May 2012
Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on recent changes, as ever. Also did you see Gonzalo84's forum topic about anonymous vandalism? I'd be interested in reading your thoughts.--Opark 77 12:42, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Spoilers in Chatroom
"Skylar22", who has made not a single edit to this wiki, has been in the chatroom posting unsolicited spoilers simply for the thrill of shocking the TV first fans, i.e. randomly and unsolicited without warning, he's been describing the red wedding in the chatroom. I'm not sure what punishment should be taken or perhaps just a reprimand, but this brings up a bigger question: how do we stop or deter unsolicited spoilers in the chatroom?--The Dragon Demands 21:27, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

It was Skylar's first time! Please don't ban him! --User:LovelyChrys 21:27, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation Guide
Can you find a link to the original Pronunciation guide on the HBO website? We need to double-check it.--The Dragon Demands 22:56, June 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * It is here. I'll post this for The Dragon Demands on their talk page too.--Opark 77 23:02, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

Lord Paramount
Discussion on what to do with "Talk:Lord Paramount". Also, were the Greyjoys ever called "Lords Paramount" in the books? By what title did they rule the Iron Islands?--The Dragon Demands 02:35, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Also need your input here: Talk:King of Westeros.--The Dragon Demands 14:31, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Duels
Your decision is needed, ser. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Opark_77#New_article_proposal I do not feel we should add articles for "events" that generically aren't battles or wars. Duels just can't sustain a whole article, and its "un-encyclopedic". Encyclopedia have articles on battles but not duels. Though of course, a "small skirmish" sometimes makes the cut. --The Dragon Demands 18:59, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Kingsroad
The image you uploaded for the Kingsroad is in error; it doesn't show it extending to Storm's End.--The Dragon Demands 16:45, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Books
Can we add articles for books about A Song of Ice and Fire to this wiki? Such as Beyond the Wall, A Feast of Ice and Fire, The Lands of Ice and Fire, and The World of Ice and Fire?--The Dragon Demands 16:48, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Andalos
Ack, I loaded up a new image for "Andalos" based on a map in the Blu Ray featurettes, but no warning popped up to let me know that you had already loaded up an identically named file. Do you recall if it was the same image? If not, my intention was to use both; the "in-universe" map provided as well of our own fan-created ones that shows the entire continent in context.--The Dragon Demands 23:57, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Andal Invasion
Your input is needed on Talk:Andal Invasion, regarding that the HBO viewer's guide kind of glosses over history and acts as if he "Seven Kingdoms" had already coalesced by that time. I asked and you pointed out that they hadn't.--The Dragon Demands 20:58, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline
I've been writing up the Timeline page, but I'm confused on the specifics of the aborted time-jump that was going to occur in the books. Everyone is two years older in season one...but this was due to a five year jump planned after Storm of Swords? Or were there two separate times when Martin thought there would be a time jump? Can you straighten this out in the "differences from the books" section on "Timeline"? I think you'd be more familiar with the behind-the-scenes goings-on with Martin's rejected idea for the time jump. --The Dragon Demands 19:51, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Age of Heroes
I've been poking around on the Wiki of Ice and Fire, but received conflicting statements. Doubling checking back at the source (books, author statements, etc.) did the Age of Heroes end with the Long Night, or the Andal Invasion?--The Dragon Demands 02:49, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Nagga
I have a question regarding the Grey King and Nagga. I have read the Wiki of Ice and Fire page and even re-read the Damphair POV chapter its mentioned in, and I'm still not certain: are the "bones of Nagga" which make the beams and pillars of the hall...meant to be the actual bones of a real animal? It says "the ages turned them to stone", but its vague enough that I'm not sure of the intention: are they simply stone beams, like Stonehenge, and the Nagga legend is meant to "explain" them? Or are they petrified bones, that is, to an observer they obviously look like the bones of some huge, pre-historic animal? --The Dragon Demands 05:05, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
