A reference
About making equipment pages and other types of articles, you might want to refer to the GSTLA Reference FAQ on GameFAQS. A lot of easy information about a lot of different things comes from there, and that's what I often used to make equipment pages. The third paragraph in each equipment page is about how good that equipment is, and that info usually isn't found anywhere, it's based on the intuition and experience of the author, so keep that in mind when making equipment pages that are as complete as the others. We've been pretty much making and completing pages one-at-a-time, so it'd be great if you could make equipment pages that feel as complete as the ones we already have, that's always better than starting out dozens of pages to become two-sentence stubs. Thanks. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 17:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. I don't actually plan on starting any articles yet, but this should come in handy for when I do. For now I was planning to improve the articles we already have, such as the Arctic Blade. But still, thanks! HungryPaperweight 19:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

TTFN
Starting tomorrow, I'll have limited (if any) internet access for about a week or two. Then again, maybe not. I don't know for sure just yet. I'm just letting you know so that you won't wonder why I'll stop my so-far-consistent stream of updates. I'm not making any promises, but I might make a few minor edits if I can get online, or maybe post new articles I made (When I make new articles, I usually do something like what Erik does; I type up a draft using a Word document the day before, then I copy and paste the next morning, making any little changes I need to (like apostrophes) ). You know I'm rambling when I use parenthesis in parenthesis. Anyways, the point is that you probably won't see much of me for a little while. But trust me, you'll know when I'm back.

 * Ah, well I've been taking XML for the past four weeks and have two weeks to go. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 19:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, I'm not quite sure what that has to do with anything. Oh well. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 23:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * By that I meant that since we both have things going on that may take up two weeks, we'll be likely to get back into heavy editing mode in roughly the same time. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 06:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm back! It looks like not much has changed. I built up a small stockpile of new equipment articles, but I might not get any up until tomorrow. I've got stuff to take care of and all. Plus I dug out Galactic Civilizations 2 while I was gone. Very addicting. (Begins drooling.) Uh, ahem. Anyways, I'm back, so...yeah, I'm back.

Other Wikis
You've really done a lot of great work on the Wikia, so I thought I'd treat you to this juicy tidbit: Apparently Golden Sun Universe is in better shape than the Dragon Ball Wikia. THAT was a real shocker! Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 06:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Wow. I wonder when that Wiki got started? I mean, they have three different shows, two manga series', and a bunch of other merchandise (including a number of videogames) at their disposal. Then there's us, who only have two games and some fandom to work with. Unless their new on the Wiki scene (which I highly doubt but can't find confirmation of), these guys are falling behind fast. By the way, did you know that there's a Naruto Wiki? They seem to be doing about as well as we are, but I think they got started quite some time after this Wiki. Of course, they also have more to work with than we do, so I don't mind if they get ahead of us. Oh, and thanks for the compliment. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 16:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * While it's likely they did start much later than us, that might be grounds for us to declare that our spikey-headed energy warriors (Isaac and Garet) are better than theirs right now. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 06:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe so, but they'll outrank us sooner or later...unless our guys go Super Adept or something ;) The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 15:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Also... Is it possible that we're actually in better shape than the StarCraft wiki, the database for the world famous game series that's supposed to be going through its grand renaissance with the announcement of its big new game? I knew we were much better than the Diablo wiki, but SC was more (or should I say less) than I expected. And while the WarCraft wiki obviously beats the other two to the punch (43000+ pages), pretty much all its equipment articles look like this while we have pages like Darksword and Glittering Tiara. It would seem our little Camelot-produced game series is a serious challenger to the Blizzard empire of world-class franchises in the wiki front. Heh heh.

 * Maybe you should have told them what you told me around the time I got here: "it'd be great if you could make equipment pages that feel as complete as the ones we already have, that's always better than starting out dozens of pages to become two-sentence stubs."

500+ articles
Check out Wikia's listing of active gaming wikis: In this list, wikis are classified as either below 500 articles large or above 500 articles large, so once we make 500+ pages shortly we'll graduate from "minor" to "major"! Not bad for a wiki about a game series that's probably less notable than a lot of the other non-starred wikis in the list, like Kingdom Hearts and StarCraft... Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 05:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * And with Revoranii's help we'll get there in no time. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 16:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Care to make a list?
I don't do much editing nowadays, but I'll post screenshots of weapon unleashes for all the weapon pages that currently don't have them like the Staff of Anubis. I'd rather not search through every one of the pages for missing images and possibly skip over some weapon pages, so if you could cobble together a list of weapons who need their unleash images, it'd be hugely appreciated. Don't be afraid to request any other images from me on any other subject too. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 06:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. I've checked through all the weapons, and so far only articles I've made lack Unleash images. Still, a few of mine do, plus some don't even have Unleashes, so I listed them anyways (in no particular order, mind you):


 * Cloud Brand
 * Shamshir
 * Kikuichimonji
 * Swift Sword
 * Hypnos' Sword
 * Pirate's Sword
 * Corsair's Edge
 * Assassin Blade
 * Masamune
 * Phaeton's Blade
 * Stellar Axe
 * Burning Axe
 * Mighty Axe
 * Grievous Mace
 * Crystal Rod
 * Magic Rod
 * Demonic Staff
 * Fire Brand
 * Bandit's Sword
 * Staff of Anubis
 * Tartarus Axe
 * I'll be sure to update this list as weapons come and, umm, lack-of-pictures go...yeah that sounded lame. Anyways, thanks. This is something I definitely couldn't do. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 15:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Why make one list when I can make two (or more)?
Hey, Erik. I know that these aren't weapons, but I found some other articles that could use images. I only put it here because, well, two heads lists are better than one. Anyways, it's only bosses right now, so I understand if you can't get to them all immediately. Oh, and Sentinel and Valukar need real images rather than the placeholders they have now.
 * Fusion Dragon
 * Avimander
 * Chestbeater
 * Flame Dragon
 * Killer Ape
 * King Scorpion
 * Poseidon
 * Sentinel
 * Serpent
 * Star Magician
 * Statue Monster Line - this one needs two images
 * Toadonpa
 * Tret
 * Valukar

A little break
For those of you who got used to me adding an equipment article each day, I have some bad news. I'm going to be taking a break from my daily updates, for several reasons: Don't worry, I won't be going anywhere. I just won't be updating as often as I usually do. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 16:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) I have some non-wiki stuff coming up and need to get prepared.
 * 2) I have two goals here at GSU, and lately I haven't gotten any of the second one done.
 * 3) My Request Page was made so people could tell me what equipment they wanted to see and I could get to work on it (anonymous users are welcome too). If I get a request I'll still do it, so I'm hoping this break will get the page to be used.

Stupid me
Aaaaand once again I forgot to log in. I knew this would happen again sooner or later. That's why I made my address redirect to my user page. None of this is really all that important. I just can't believe I was that stupid. The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 23:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Article: Weyard, and redundancy
Hey, I was that IP that made alot of edits to Weyard, I just joined. In regards to removing alot of that information, I looked at it and some of it was unfounded and a lot of it was redundant - in retrospect anyways, fair enough. The rest well, if you want to use the page as a basic outline and not go into much detail then that's fine, it would work just as well. I can see your point.

The one thing I don't get is that you deleted the Islet references, where else are you going to put a list of them? I think more people would visit weyard than would visit "Islets". And they are part of the world, and land masses, and we know the name of them. I could understand if I had written something about say, those three islands at the bottom of Gondowan - as they are of no consequence, but the islets, you know, have people on them, etc, and there is even the item trading quest. Why not put them on there? A few more kb of data isn't going to stretch bandwidth... Revoranii 16:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


 * My point in removing the islets is that the Weyard article is about the Golden Sun world as a whole. Obviously the continents should be mentioned, and I'm glad that you added the oceans and other bodies of water. But the islets? They don't really stand out, either in the storyline or general importance. Although we currently don't have anywhere else to put them, the islets would be better suited on pages like Great Eastern Sea, once they are finally made.


 * At any rate, I'm glad that you're trying to help improve GSU, and I'm more than happy to welcome you aboard. Still, here's a friendly word of advice: check the article before putting information into it. Like Angara. You put a list of all the locations in, but we already had that info spread throughout the article. Also, try to stay on topic. When you edited Anemos, you included information about Anemos Sanctum. Although this would make sense, we already have an article about the sanctum, which is where that info should belong. Plus, the sanctum was already mentioned in the Anemos article, so there's no real reason to mention it again.


 * I'm sorry if this sounds a little harsh. I know you're just trying to help the wiki, so I'm trying to help you help (I hope that makes sense). Anyways, like I said earlier, welcome aboard! The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 18:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
