Name Change
Can someone change my account's name to Vincent? Swiftblade is my childish counterpart that has been thrown aside and it is an insult to be referred to as such. Thank you. --Swiftblade 09:51, 12 March 2011 (EST)
 * Yes, that can be done, but only by a bureaucrat, and that's quite a witty explanation as to why. Also, for future reference, please keep inappropriate language on your userpage only. Uploading files with derogatory language in the filename and the summary is not cool on a wiki that prides itself in being family-friendly, regardless if the terms are Internet-accepted 4chan memes. Thanks, and make sure to let a bureaucrat know of your name change request! :) 14:04, 12 March 2011 (EST)

You sir, do not understand the logic behind the rank names. Anonymous in general refers to oneself as a fag. Not being the derogatory term for a homosexual person, but rather... it's another word for person in general, no matter the sexual orientation, with no harmful intent. The edit that you made to my caption makes it sound like Engrish. Allow me to explain, a newfag is a user that just joined and is learning the ropes. An oldfag is a seasoned veteran that knows the ifs, whens, and buts of the community. It can also be used in context for other types of users. For example, a person that only participates in the summer would be referred to as a summerfag. A person that constantly talks about gaia is called a gaiafag, and so-fourth.

So in conclusion, I request that you change the caption back to its original state so that it actually makes sense. --Swiftblade 16:29, 12 March 2011 (EST)
 * Sadly, regardless of intention, the word itself is in fact derogatory and inappropriate. Zelda Wiki is not Encyclopedia Dramatica or 4chan, were words and memes like that are commonplace, we are a wiki that is viewed by adults, grandmothers, children, and all walks of life. By using these words, you do not know who you are going to offend, so we choose to bar them entirely. I understood the meaning of the terms (before your explanantion), but because they include a derogatory word, please refrain from using them here. Because of this, and current wiki policy, the file summary and the link will not be changed back to the original. Thanks! 12:41, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

Images
Hi. Please could you avoid replacing existing images such as the ones you've edited today? Non-copyrighted images such as the Windows and Firefox logo have been specifically chosen to avoid infringing copyright laws of major corporations like Microsoft, so replacing them with the original copyrighted versions is counter-productive. Also, once you do that the original source and copyright templates on the image become invalid. Replacing images with new versions should normally only be done for improved versions of the same image, where it can continue to be used in the same context on all pages. If you believe you have an image which should replace an existing one, please upload as a different file and suggest the change on the relevant talk page. Thanks! 04:59, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, ok
Don't keep editing your page to up your ZD post count one by one, you are clogging up the recent changes page. We have to look over every single edit made here and check them off as having been review. Often times we even need to make corrections or changes. Having so many edits of +1 posts, is pretty much spamming here. In all honesty, it's not likely to be interesting to anyone else ;) 00:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I myself only edit it somewhere like every twenty or thirty posts. It doesn't matter the amount of posts you have on a forum here. 01:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's a useless statistic that should not even be included. Ever. --Xizor 09:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
