Letter rewrite
It's a good base, but I added some things I felt were important. Let me know what you think.

Dear Mike Laidlaw and the Dragon Age development team,

I am delivering this message on behalf of many users of the Dragon Age Wiki, who feel that the barrage of insults directed at Jennifer Hepler have been juvenile, unjustified, and unworthy of Dragon Age fans. In no way do we at the wiki condone such actions. We continue to be fans of the world you have created, and are just as appalled as you are over the actions taken against Mrs. Hepler. Not appreciating the work she, or any of you, have done is an exercise in poor judgment in and of itself. But to go to such lengths as to attack Mrs. Hepler on a personal level for such petty reasons is simply deplorable. I can assure you that we at the Dragon Age Wiki strongly condemn such pointless, vitriolic behavior, and we pray that Mrs. Hepler is not negatively affected by this aggressive personal attack against her. As such, we would like to make a humble request for you to be kind enough to pass along our most sincere support for Ms. Hepler at this no doubt difficult time. We wish her the absolute best in her career and personal life, and it is our hope that this is the last of such incidents.

Signed, with thanks:

Trolling
Is it fair to request the banning of a certain Yaling520 on acount of [|this]? ---- Isolationistmagi   06:48, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

(EDIT): I'll just put in the URL since the link does not seem to be working properly: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Yaling520/Wholesale_Fashion_Jewelry_Guide_You_Make_Money_For_Jewelry_Business    ---- Isolationistmagi   06:53, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Hepler Letter Blog
Since the majority is agree with "the letter" I think you can go for it instead of "the blog post". "The blog post" was just an idea. -- 05:14, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, is it possible to share the letter you have sent with us? -- 08:22, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Nicely written. Good work. -- 13:19, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Has there been any reply yet? --Ygrain (talk) 16:19, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hi) Can you block this guy? 71.58.196.21 Asherinka (talk) 08:40, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. Look at these please: 88.208.116.9, SpringerMcgrew835, 78.46.145.38, 98.198.158.195 Asherinka (talk) 23:07, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

The last post over here User talk:Futonrevoltion looks like bloody spamming, as well. --Ygrain (talk) 06:02, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

74.105.210.202, on account of vandalising the Broodmother article and deliberately assaulting a member of the DA writing team in so doing. ---- Isolationistmagi   04:58, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * (Someone else removed this, but it should appear if you scroll a short way back through the edit history.)---- Isolationistmagi  

Gadzooks the wizard. You cannot get rid of this guy soon enough. I would also suggest the ban be permanent ---- Isolationistmagi   05:05, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I second the request, and while you're at it, revert plese the offensive changes at User: Futonrevoltion (is is possible to track all the changes he made? I suspect there are more). - Is it just me, or could this have something in commone with our response to the attack on J. Hepler? I don't remember such idiocy around before that. --Ygrain (talk) 05:34, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * All the vandalism has no been reverted and the vandal blocked. If you're ever interested interested in tracking someone's edits you can go to their contributions from the tab in their user page, or for mass bouts of vandalism Special:Recentchanges is pretty useful. Vandals like this have popped up throughout the wiki's history, so it's not necessarily related. 06:20, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

"Dragons" Page
Is there any particular reason why the intelligence of a dragon is compared to that of a dolphin on This page? There are no references anywhere on the page to indicate this and the statement itself gives no indication as to its backing. Normally I would simply remove it, but this comparison will have been in place for three years as of March 16th, and it occurred to me that though it does not have a reference, it must have remained all that time for a reason, hence I'm asking your opinion before removing it. ---- Isolationistmagi   04:40, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

If you think I can be trusted, why not? :) Asherinka (talk) 17:09, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Infinite block of unregistered users
I've noticed some IP addresses have been blocked indefinitely for small vandalism, but I would suggest to avoid it since it is possible the IP address will be reassigned to someone else (see this page on Wikipedia). Unless it's mass vandalism, or a repetitive disruptive behavior (e.g., the IP address shows up again as a vandal after 3 months), then a year-long block (or longer) is more adequate in my opinion. You may do an IP range block if necessary, though it's done with caution.

There's no rules on how long the ban should happen, so it's up to you. Just be careful with the "infinite" option. :] --D. (talk · contr) 19:05, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Banner headers for forums
Hey there King Cousland! I know we talked about banner headers for the forums a while ago but that got sidelined. Did you ever decide what you wanted for the forums? -- 21:37, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done! D-day made some changes so they would stick out a bit more and we got ourselves our new forum banners. I'm trying to convince her Index needs one as well :) -- 22:55, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
