thanks Maverick423 15:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- If it's just the same information, but not worded the same way, that isn't plagarism, so you don't need to do anything. But if it's worded the same way, then you can just remove it yourself, and you don't need to do anything more. If the entire article is copied from another site, then put on the top of the article {{db-copyvio|[the webpage it's taken from]}}. -Amarkov blahedits 15:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, in the case you're talking about, it's appropriate. Answers.com uses Wikipedia articles all the time, and that's fine, as long as they don't hide where they are taking it from. -Amarkov blahedits 15:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Image sizing - your query on the Village Pump
Hi! I see from Talk:Haegemonia:_Legions_of_Iron that the job's already done, but WP:PIC and WP:IMAGE are good places to look for all the details, if you need to do something like that to another image in the future. Cheers, Tonywalton | Talk 17:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- If you created a page in error and want it to be deleted you can tag it for speedy deletion with {{db-author}} or {{db-g7}} (which is the same thing), if you like. Of course, if you want to fix it, go right ahead :-) Cheers, Tonywalton | Talk 23:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ok
It should probably be more specific than that; most of the minigames are either solving a puzzle or some sort of action game. –Llama man 00:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Request!
Hey guys
well basicly I want to make a request on radiation Poison
i have read the articles however there is one problem yes the symptoms are stated and all but does anyone know how it FEELS to be in the proximity of radiation or to touch something radio active. in other words do you feel heat from something radio active? do you feel a weird nausia feeling while you are reciving a radio active dose (regardless of its potency) what does a person feel before the symptoms arise and when you are acctually reciveing the dose is what i want to know Maverick423 18:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the RuneScape article.
This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject. Exarion 23:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
:As Exarion pointed out, if you want discuss the game, go to a fansite forum. This is where we discuss the article, and how we can improve it. This is not the place for casual conversation. Nishkid64 23:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

This is exactly why im doing this my friends. i noticed lots of people straying from subject (myself included) and saying the user name of their RS. so i figured lets get it over with place the names real quick and not post them again on the forms. it was all under good intentions sorry Maverick423 14:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- If we reveal our RuneScape usernames, and add each other as friends in RuneScape, we can discuss about RuneScape on RuneScape, and about it's article on Wikipedia. I joined Wikipedia because I figured it's a writing community where I could make friends with similar interests. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 14:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have moved the above to here from Talk:RuneScape - wikipedia isn't a discussional forum, this topic is better in the user talk namespace.
cyanide poisoning
Oops - I meant to write 'there is not much pain' and not 'there is much pain' - quite a difference - luckily someone who knows more about how cyanide works spotted it - so it isn't that painful.83.100.183.48 23:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Ooo ok thanks much for the update! so then the shows about cyanide are true then when they say its painless Maverick423 19:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
reference desk
science still hasnt proven or showed how ,that pleage that moses used to kill all the first borns, occored or anything to explain the weird reactions that the pleage had on only targeting the first born and passing over the ones that had blood on the doors. (even though im a man of science seeing things that cant be explained makes me just wonder)
--just in response to this, have you ever considered that these plagues never actually happened, but it was a mere story in order to propagate the idea of a god? Not all sources of information are necessarily true.
Yes i have as a matter of fact i remember seeing a program once that stated " A God cannot exsist with out people making him exsist" which makes me think is this just us making a god rather then him being real. but then again if this was the case then where did the first "creators of god" start with the whole god thing? very complicated battle between non belivers and belivers as for me im just stuck in the middle. Thanks much for your help Maverick423 20:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, obviously there is no definite answer as to where the people who thought up the idea of a god got their ideas from, but I think it goes something along these lines. In order to explain what was happening around them, a moving ball of fire in the sky for example, they tried to come up with theories. Since there would have been very little theoretical physics around at the time, they sought justification via another means, maybe they the sun was a living creature in the sky, obviously then the people would worship the sun as it brought warmth and comfort to many, so they effectively saw the sun as a "god" of sorts. Then the idea could have spread through word of mouth, many other gods would have been thought up, and the story goes from there. As to reasons why there are still theories of a god today, it could possibly be a desperate bid at a justification of a meaningless existence, so some people find comfort in religion. Also it might just be another way of controlling people. Whatever the explanation there will never be a certain answer, it is all mere speculation. I hope this at least helps to answer your questions.
