User talk:CrappyScrap

Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the User:CrappyScrap page.

We welcome all contributions to the Wiki but please be aware of the following simple rules:

1) This wiki is meant for the Game of Thrones TV series and the TV alone. Spoilers from the novels are not permitted at all. Discussion of earlier events in the novels and the use of non-spoiler background material from the novel as regards specific events, characters and places in the TV series are allowed (in the 'In the books' section of an article) but future events cannot be discussed.

2) This wiki has specific permission from HBO's marketing department to use a reasonable number of promotional images and screencaps from the series to illustrate articles. The use of other copyrighted images is not permitted without either specific permission or fair use attributions. For example, this Wiki cannot use Amoka's portrait images or Ted Nasmith's castle pictures as these are copyrighted. In addition, the Wiki is focused on the TV series and TV series alone. Images from other media should be avoided without a very good cause.

Enjoy your editing and please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Ragestorm (talk) 21:42, November 6, 2015 (UTC)

Gregor killed Oberyn and therefore by law "won" the decision of the duel. Oberyn managed to get revenge beyond the grave by poisoning the blade of his spear, though.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 01:27, November 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, I know - hard to accept, though. I'm watching the series for the first time, and I'm using my user page as a "checklist" I can go back to for reference later. I might contribute to the wiki itself once I'm done. --CrappyScrap (talk) 02:25, November 27, 2015 (UTC)

Userpage
Hello. You've made 50 edits on this wiki since November...almost all of them devoted to a private checklist you keep on your userpage. The userpage is perk for people actively contributing. This is sort of abusing the privilege, and I'm locking your userpage to encourage you to make some other contributions - I know the userpage is a great "sandbox" for learning how wiki-code works and stuff, but please keep it proportionate to the article contributions you make.

Ah, I'll unlock your userpage and just leave it as a warning.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:15, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

Also don't use the mini-shield icons with metal borders anymore; just use the same ones that the main "pointy" ones from their infoboxes.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:17, April 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I completely understand and I'll see where I can contribute. Thanks for being so polite too, I've been slapped down with no warning for doing the same thing elsewhere. I am a fan of the series, so contributing won't be hard. Best, --CrappyScrap (talk) 23:17, April 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Like the Dragon said, the shields with the metal borders are being phased out, and will be deleted eventually. You should probably switch to using the new ones, otherwise your userpage will end up in a bit of a mess! :-D 08:20, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. The reason I've kept them so far is that we're lacking a "pointy" one for the wildlings. I would make one myself, but I don't know how to make parts of an image transparent...


 * I'm impressed with how polite users seem to be on this wiki, btw! --CrappyScrap (talk) 08:27, May 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey CrappyScrap, for your convenience, please use the shields from the "main-shield" group instead of the "shield-icon" group.


 * http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Image_%28Main_Shield%29?display=exhibition&sort=alphabetical


 * The shield-icon shields are slowly being phased out except for personal sigels for people such as Blackfish and some of the Targaryens. The shield-icon group also has the symbols such as the maester's chain, Iron Bank, which will be kept in use.
 * Regards. Ser Shield McShield (talk) 22:04, May 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well geez, I was warned against focusing more on my userpage than on the community, but now my userpage seems to have attracted community interest :P Btw, your username is almost (but only almost) as hilarious as mine ^^ --CrappyScrap (talk) 00:16, May 7, 2016 (UTC)

Your last edit of the battle of Castle Black
Wrong. Grenn, Pypar, and Donnel Hill survive the battle. Read the book and see for yourself.
 * It can be mentioned in the In the books section, but shouldn't compromise the continuity of the show. --CrappyScrap (talk) 15:22, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * You edited the "in the books" section, CP. :-D 15:58, May 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Jesus, I'm an idiot xD My sincerest apologies, I didn't notice there were two "Aftermath" sections :P --CrappyScrap (talk) 19:07, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

X-D Don't be down on yourself, it was an easy mistake to make. :-) - 21:33, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Free Folk shield
Excellent work! - 12:28, May 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * A pleasure :) --CrappyScrap (talk) 12:42, May 8, 2016 (UTC)

Heraldry on the wiki
Remove the fanart heraldry you just uploaded for Blackmont, Jordayne, Yronwood, and Manwoody. These are not close approximations of the versions used within the TV show itself (particularly the Blackmont one).

You were already warned but you're really abusing the privilege of having a userpage; it isn't a private blog, and effort put into it is effort that could have been put into articles. I have blanked and locked your userpage. Please refocus on contributions to the overall wiki.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:13, May 10, 2016 (UTC)

Screw it: remove all the above heraldry you added and I'll restore your userpage if you promise to spread out your work better onto main articles.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:57, May 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * First of all, I don't know how to delete photos; don't you need to be an administrator to remove anything? Second, no harm intended, I did my best and hoped someone with better editing skills would eventually come around and change them (I saw them as bad imitations, not fanart - and we were lacking sigils for those houses, right?). Third, look at my contributions and tell me again that I'm using this wikia as a private blog. I was warned, and I heeded the warning.


 * We started off nicely, and I don't see why you're being so pissy all of a sudden. It's not like I've caused any intentional harm. --CrappyScrap (talk) 07:17, May 11, 2016 (UTC)

(sigh) sorry it's been a busy day. I'm restoring your userpage.

It makes more work for me to have to take the images out of the pages you added them to and I want you to handle that. This is easier to do if I don't delete the image files so you can click on them and check the "what links here" section, then I delete them.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:03, May 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * I only used them in Nymeria's War, so they're good for deletion now if they must indeed be deleted. I would never upload fanart, which I completely understand is not wanted here, and I honestly had the best of intentions uploading these images. Your reaction made it seem like I had vandalized the wiki, which I would never do.


 * I'm starting to get the hang of this, and it's really unpleasant to have other users breathing down my neck (especially considering the nice start). I promise to familiarize myself with the rules to avoid making similar mistakes in the future, and yes, I have no problem pledging to contribute to the wiki overall. Could you promise to assume good intentions if I happen to screw up again? --CrappyScrap (talk) 15:45, May 11, 2016 (UTC)

Favor
Could you do me a favor and switch the shields you use on your own page from the shield-icon to main-shield? As I mentioned before, I am attempting to get all the shields to reference the same file so if the shield changes, it automatically updates all of the pages that use that file. House Dayne's shield is a great example of this - the sigil and shade of purple are still up in the air but once we get more clarification from the show (hopefully tomorrow!), we can finalize it.

Anyway, I want the same thing to happen with your user page as well so if you could make the switch, I would very much appreciate it.

 * If you're talking about the Dornish ones, I think they're facing deletion pretty soon anyway, as they're inaccurate. --CrappyScrap (talk) 21:24, May 14, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not talking about the Dornish ones - I'm talking about the shields you used in "Westerosi wars and conflicts". The shields reference file names that end in Shield-Icon.PNG. If you could switch those so they end in Main-Shield.PNG instead, that would be a huge help.
 * The files that end in Shield-Icon.PNG will be phased out in the near future. Ser Shield McShield (talk) 21:44, May 14, 2016 (UTC)
