00:08.01Sandwichman2448Calling images made of spliced minimap images "Satellite view of..." is misleading. Azeroth does not use satellites.
00:15.31Alramhow are you so sure
00:16.35Sandwichman2448Well,the titans put four above Ulduar, but I do not think that the minimap's accuracy is in-universe.
00:17.03Sandwichman2448If it is, I doubt they used anything in orbit to map the land.
00:17.42Sandwichman2448Mimimap images can be found on some tables, if you look hard enough.

00:18.32Sandwichman2448I know Shatter Point has the in-game non-minimap map of Hillsbrad.
00:20.41Sandwichman2448Anyway, I think it is misleading. Am I wrong?
00:23.59Sandwichman2448I do not think I am, but I am unsure how else to put it. "Minimap view"?
00:27.40Sandwichman2448No one cares. I'll just do that.

00:35.23Sandwichman2448Hello Kirochi.
00:35.35Kirochihi sandy
00:36.38Sandwichman2448Naw, Sandy Wichman is my mild mannered alter ego.
00:39.41g0urraSandwichman2448: you could call it "Telescopic view from Outland"
00:40.03Sandwichman2448I could.
00:43.08Fiskeri would
00:43.36Sandwichman2448I changed it to "minimap view".
00:46.01KirochiSandwichman2448, I could swear to God that you were already the most polite bloke out there
00:46.32Sandwichman2448Ooh!

01:19.05ShishireJust want to notify whomever should be concerned with this... One of the ads on wowwiki was an ad to buy gold. I can get the exact url/info if it's helpful to block it.
01:19.27joeyaaHelp:Bad Ads
01:20.42Shishireoh good, didn't know that existed
01:31.37ShishireReported, thanks

01:34.31Sandwichman2448Yay.
01:37.15pcjthat was exciting
01:37.47MasterOfDisguiseWait, I'm confused
01:37.53MasterOfDisguiseSomeone being voiced is exciting? o.O
01:37.59MasterOfDisguiseor am I missing something
01:39.01Sandwichman2448No, it was a half-hearted yay about the spam report.
01:39.07MasterOfDisguiseOh
01:39.08MasterOfDisguiselol
01:39.11MasterOfDisguiseHow silly of me.
01:42.37ShishireSadly, I've got more... continuing to report
01:43.51Sandwichman2448Less spam is good, but our Wikia overlords need money.
01:44.32joeyaaThey aren't called overlords, they are called generals
01:44.57Sandwichman2448Generals?
01:45.24ShishireI'm cool with ads, it does allow wikia to keep offering hosting for amazing services like wowwiki, but Gold Seller ads make me angry.
01:46.21joeyaaWikia is ran by 5 generals, in #wikia we support them
01:47.05Sandwichman2448Um... I'll slink away now...

22:22.05Sandwichman2448With the Elemental Plane going to be in World of Warcraft, Benito has been working on "Plane" pages.
22:23.26Sandwichman2448Shadows & Light uses DnD mechanics, so I am thinking [[Elemental_Plane#Location]] is wrong.

22:24.00Sandwichman2448Planes are stacked.
22:26.29Sandwichman2448However, it seems S&L has been retconned a bit in regards to what the EP looks like.
22:38.32Sandwichman2448I wonder if we should reorganize some articles by source. Like "in [source], [event] happened like this, but in [source], [event] happened like that". Where there is not enough to warrant a split.
22:39.16Sandwichman2448Rise of the Lich King had a bunch of minor differences.

23:53.54Sandwichman2448It is a template that is manually put on.
23:54.30DarkOrbyea, I fixed a bunch of images yesterday/today and most went away after I removed the tag from the files in question, but two haven't
23:54.43DarkOrbwas just wondering it anyone knew why (for example - http://www.wowwiki.com/File:WoW_Lich_King_Arthas.png)
