The second note I erased because it was obvious.The tooltip says it does not deal damage. Sam 3010 22:45, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Outdated Information Tag
I just figured this note out. You cannot take it out. Leave it to me. ok? Sam 3010 04:34, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Jarvan Spotlight
Yes. I watched it and I'm pretty impressed. Lots like he's likely to replacing Pantheon in my Top 7 after all hehe. Also, I agree that he's likely to be in either medium or hard difficulty.

P.S. Plz PLZ! Don't forget to sign your messages! UGH! :\

Champion Icons
Four champion icons (Annie, Kat, Eve and Twitch) were changed in-game so we updated them in here too. The previous Portraits are still saved on the wiki. Sam 3010 01:01, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Facebook Group
Ok, I will try you. For the following week Monday-Sunday, you will write on my Facebook wall as if it is the LoL wikia one something that is worthy of being on the Wiki Facebook. You must be creative, add an image and link to the wiki, and if I like I will add it to the Actual LoL Wikia facebook page. I will tell you on Monday if you are accepted as the first of the Facebook Group. Ok? My Facebook is Samuel Morales Lavín. Sam 3010 20:03, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Links and Icons
Hey Technology Wizard, I know you put a lot of work into putting in the links and icons for the pages, but I really think it's too much. The first time the name is mentioned on the page is enough. Plus, putting the link and icon in every time the name is mentioned makes the page feel cluttered and makes it distracting to read the articles.

If you could, I'd like you to revert the pages you've put the links and icons in for. If not, I plan to revert them myself, so this is a heads up. --Cidem1324 01:50, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it is okay to add all the icons for the abilities, but it is not needed to add the icons for the champion, I think that it is fairly obvious. But I give you permission to keep adding the icons to abilities, unless the ability mention in itself is redundant. In which case you should erase it. Sam 3010 02:01, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

No problem. If you have any suggestions for the Lore pages, feel free to let me know. =) Cidem1324 02:22, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

...
By God's sake, when will you add me on Facebook? Sam 3010 02:59, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Read above, look for my name. Sam 3010 03:05, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Look for me on LoL Wikia Fans, Samuel Morales Lavín, it is a group picture like a school group picture where we are all in white. Sam 3010 20:56, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Colors
First of all, don't ever say "asap" if it is not something urgent.


 * Yellow=Bureaucrat


 * They oversee everything related to the wiki, they have the last word on a discussion, they are in charge of advertising the wiki and external relationships. They are in charge of handing promotions. Mostly boss around. :D
 * Green=Administrator


 * They have a more internal oversight but they are a major authority too. They are internal administrator of personnel, conflicts, human resources, etc. They head over all projects. They are also the Head Moderators of the community and delete vandalism.
 * Purple=Moderator


 * Same hierarchy level as Content Director. They are in charge of moderating the community. Right now the Group Rights are bugged, I'm working to get them running again. Once they are fixed tho, moderators will be able and will be on charge of: blocking vandals, deleting offensive comments or edit them, anything else regarding the community.
 * Red=Content Director


 * Same hierarchy level as Moderators. They oversee projects and changes to their designated areas, they have the last word (same as Admins) when regarding their pages.
 * Orange=Rollbck User


 * This is a reward position, given to helpful members of the community that are nominated or ask for it. It distinguishes over other users, and are role models to the other editors. They have the added right of Rollback, which allows them to revert changes with just one clic.

I hope this helps. :D Sam 3010 02:03, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Blue=Eveyone else

Concerns
I have noticed how some editors are concerned that you may be adding information just for the sake of getting badges, een adding false info. So please refrain from this, if it is the case. It would be more prejudicial for these reports to continue, than beneficial if you reach #1 on the leaderboard, for your promotions. Sam 3010 04:35, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Hmmm..
I am sorry if I offended you in any way however I believe I have a duty, as an active member of this wiki, to report anyone who sets themselves above the wiki or seeks to harm the wiki to further their own goals. If I remember correctly you were the one who exploited his way up on the leaderboard and, as such, had his account deleted. I was concerned with your quick rise through the leaderboard so I decided to make sure that history was not repeating yourself and I saw that you have been doing a lot of.... "filler" and some of which was not true (categories aka your latest badge). I am in no way jealous of you, trust me. NeonSpotlight 06:16, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

is still part of the game's history. Also, Exiton is in charge of adding the patch histories to all the item pages whether they exist in-game or not. P.S. Don't get yourself into too much trouble, okay? UberTri125 ("Buckle Up!") 02:06, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

A little thing
Please, for the sake of organization and usability, use the Subject/Headline area when using a talk page, especially Sam's. NeonSpotlight 03:15, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * ~.~ Talk about putting words in my mouth, I'm just telling you that using the Subject function helps a lot when using talk pages because it separates your conversation from the one above you. NeonSpotlight 03:49, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern
I will update the blog, there is a reason there has been a greater deal of promotions than normal. In case of the Moderators, there were some users that had already been slated to receive a promotion but the user group was bugged and not all functions were available to them, otherwise Neon would have been promoted a long time ago. The Content Director is a new position created out of the necessity to coordinate large projects regarding specific areas of the wiki, and so the Lore, Items and Summoners, Patch, and Monsters and Minions Directorships were created. And they were handed to the hard-working users that were taking charge of them. The rollback users are Texas and Kungming that were nominated and won. Zadok was demoted by inactivity, and AJ requested its change from administrator to RU. The other 2 were the only new promotions that were rewards for being Project Coordinators. Sam 3010 03:17, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

My opinion
Hi Matt. I decided to leave my thoughts here since you have asked me what my opinion was on the subject matter and I didn't have an answer for you at the time. I have read the recent exchange between you, sam and neon and here's what I've concluded and I wish you would improve on the following points.
 * Spelling - I'm not sure whether it is because English is not your primary language and you are not sure about the spelling of some words, or you just lack the attention to detail to notice your mistakes while typing. My advice: after you've typed your message, hit the PREVIEW button, RE-READ what you typed, so it makes sense (it will help you not only correct spelling mistakes but also organize your thoughts better).
 * Organization / Ethics - right now you're coming off as immature and unprofessional (I don't mean this to be an insult, this is just the opinion I got of you after reading you messages on talk pages).
 * Wiki formatting - my impression thus far is: this wiki is your first experience of working on one and you're not very familiar with general wiki markup, how things are usually done and what you can edit, how it should look like and so on. That is understandable, but you should try to do it right and learn in the process. So my advice:
 * Please, please, please. Refrain from doing random things on your own that no one has done before. There might be things that need improvement, but since you're new, coordinate with others whether your thoughts are the right way to go about doing things. (if you don't coordinate, your mass edits will be viewed as pointless and an attempt to achieve something else rather than improving the wiki.)
 * If you are not sure how something should be formatted/edited/changed, look for an example. On this wiki first: Help:Editing, if you didn't find it here, look at the general wiki for help: MediaWiki:Help
 * If there's no example that you can use, you should ASK people, who have been around for a while, on how to do something that you're unsure of. Never feel sorry if you have to ask in order to do something right. When you ask, it shows initiative on your part, rather than blind guessing when you don't ask.
 * You're using a lot of parasitic words in your messages ("like", "lol" etc). From one point, I understand that you're just writing a message to a friend about something you wished to say, but this is what you do on an instant messenger, not on a wiki. If you wish to convey your thoughts do it in appropriate manner. When I'm reading your message about some issue on the wiki I don't need to know that you "lol" while thinking about it... If it is something that you put after a joke or something that you found amusing, that's fine, you're expressing your amusement with the subject matter, but using it at any other time is plain inappropriate.
 * Lastly coming back to discussion that the issue sparked. First, I have to quote Kungming2: "All of us who edit here have seen our achievements as a byproduct of our efforts here, rather than a goal to be worked towards." Now, in your messages between Neon and Sam, you have explained that your goal was to comply with that statement at all times. However, actions speak best, and even though your goal might have been a noble one, your actions came off differently, which is why Neon and others got concerned. Another reason is probably because your profile page explicitly says "My goal on this wikia is to become rank 1." (which is a petty thing to list as your goal) If this is not your intent then change it to reflect your real goals - that you wish to help new users understand the game better, etc.

So in closing, I have to say that there is a myriad of resources at your disposal that can help you make the wiki better; you just have to choose to use these resources so experience on this wiki becomes a learning experience for you rather than an aggravated conflict with others. If you're not sure where to start helping the wiki, talk with sam, he can point you in the right direction. --AntiZig (talk, contribs) 12:17, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Anything is better than nothing when it comes to headlines, as long as you have that little Heading 2 that seperates your section from the previous one you're golden. ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 05:20, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Deathfire Synergy
Hello Tech. I've noticed that you've removed Vladimir from Deathfire Grasp a second time. Have you ever considered pondering about the trivia section of that item? It does talk about how Deathfire Grasp synergies with Vladimir's ultimate.

Re: Ancient Golem and Lizard Elder
The golem page does say golem. The little lizards are the 2 mobs that spawn with the Golem/Lizard Elder. ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 22:38, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

 * Most of them were just ridiculous ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 00:00, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess I have some spare time Pusher tags you added: Twitch, Ryze, Katarina, Janna, and Irelia. Twitch does not push better than any other champion, he just has his autoattacks. Ryze's only good amount of AoE is from using his ultimate and that only lasts 1 wave, any mage can just spam abilities violently on a creep wave, he is no different. Katarina did not have the Riot pusher tag so she doesn't deserve it here. Janna has 1 move that has a sizable cooldown and takes a considerable amount of time/aim to even clear 1 wave and is pretty meh at downing turrets. Irelia I said was debatable due to her Q and R. You put Self Heal on Singed yet he only has a hp5 boost with his ultimate. You put Teleport on LeBlanc yet the Champion Attributes page says that teleport champions are " A champion that can teleport to other locations or champions. Note: champions with abilities that are similar to the summoner spell Flash do not have this attribute.". Nuke to Amumu when he deals damage over time with his W, low-medium constant AoE damage with his tantrum and his ult deals damage over time, not nuke like at all. ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 01:31, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, your name is not in orange. Can you see the rollback option when looking a page's history of edits? About the Vandal I rollbacked his change and as such it didn't show up in the Recent Activity page.  If he does it again I will ban him, until then it would go against my warning. ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 02:04, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Aura Item
That's a good question. The reason i removed it is because i was adding the V1.0.0.94(b) patch histories to all aura items and was tracking them using the tag. The active on Shurelya's Reverie does not behave the same way as other auras which are a persistent effect applied to anyone withing the vicinity of the aura holder. I would consider Reverie a temporary buff spell cast on everyone around you. This would be similar to say Nunu's blood boil only effecting more people. I think the question to ask is not what do we believe an aura item is but how is Aura defined in LoL game terms. An arua tends to be a very specific type of game mechanic and Reverie's active effect does not apply in this case. If you look at the Aura page and read the description i don't believe this fits Reverie. Additionally if you look at every item that we would all agree is an aura item, it's description is "UNIQUE Aura", not "UNIQUE Active" as in Shurelya's Reveries case. I could see how you and others would consider it an aura, i think an argument could be made for that case but i don't believe it's an aura item as defined by Riot. That is the reason i removed the tag. If you still disagree we could ask User:UberTri125 as he is the one in charge of items.

On a somewhat related note i followed the back and forth you had on the topic of champion tags. I agree with you opinion in some cases. For example i think Janna is a pusher, i have seen guides building her that way, i have used her that way, she can eliminate and entire minion wave with one press of Q and can pump up her damage with her shield to take down towers fast. That being said i would not have put her in the pusher category for one reason and one reason only. The LoL website champion section has tags for all the champions. Pusher is a tag but it is not applied to her. The wiki has to mirror official information and if she is not defined as a pusher by Riot then we really shouldn't either, even if we believe it to be the case. At least that's how i see it.

 * In order to get the name colour correct and have it link properly you have to reference their user page. It's not Exiton, it's User:Exiton.  It has something to do with name space.  If you don't want the User part to show up you can change the name the same way you do with other links so Exiton the Awesome One would be coded  Exiton the Awesome One .  I see that your name is also orange now,  Congratulations on the promotion.

Exiton 00:30, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * That link to Sam didn't work, you need to put User: in front of his name so it would look like this User:Sam 3010 and if you didn't want the user to show up you wold use a pipe | like this Sam 3010. Are you sure you name isn't orange because it's showing up that way for me.  Also the log page shows you where promoted.

Exiton 00:48, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * You have been promoted, try shift+f5 to see your new color. Sam 3010 02:06, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Katarina's Name Issue

 * I have noticed, if he edits once more, he will be banned. Sam 3010 02:04, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I will shut down my computer until tomorrow, let me know of the resolution of this problem. Sam 3010 02:12, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Chinese skins
Hi! Well, as I don´t have acces to the chinese server, i get most the images from the pages:

http://lolwallpaper.blogspot.com/search/label/Janna

http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=204415

and, of course, google =P

the only problem is that those pages include some images that are not the original artwork, like mundo or blitzcrank pictures.

Hope this helps you =) . Oh, and if u find any chinese artwork that is not in the wikia feel free to upload the image and tell me ok? Bye!  Silvoss 03:18, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Lee Sin
Yeah he should. - KazMx (Message me! E-Mail me!   Edits! )  16:59, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Lore
I'm working on going through the JoJ's and champion summaries in order to expand the Lore pages for Demacia and Noxus. I'm also planning to create a page for each specific location on the Valoran map. If you'd like to assist in any of that, it would be great. =) Cidem1324 04:42, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Lee Sin
I agree that the spotlight is good, but I wouldn't get too excited yet. From after watching the spotlight, it spawned two possibilities. First off, it could be an April Fools joke on Lee Sin and Urf may end up being the next champion instead (I know, it's weird). The second possibility is that Lee Sin is released and Urf may have had a significant role with him in the story. So that's about all I have to say. We'll just have to wait till the "new champion approaches" tag comes. UberTri125 ("Buckle Up!") 15:18, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

My Custom Badge
You know at first i didn't pay much attention to the badge systems but it is nice to get a little recognition now and then for your efforts. It did feel pretty good to get my 250 edit badge. It has annoyed be a bit that there is this extra set of badges for editing champion pages but it has never annoyed me enough to do something about it or really mention it. I currently have 374 edits of which 2 are to champion pages. If there was an item equivalent i would have all the badges up to 250 item edits. If you are going to do this i'm cool with it but i want these badges to be available to everyone. Not just so i can get them (which i will) but to reckagnise everyone work on the wiki. I think that's what you where getting at anyway. Exiton 18:00, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's unfortunate that it's not retroactive. Oh well I still have lots of histories to go through and there are all ways future patches. Exiton =:>  03:53, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

It sure stands out ♥NeonSpotlight♥ 04:10, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, ask the editors on your blog. I will post my thoughts on it too, after you comment. Sam 3010 00:55, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
