Thank you for visiting our 'About the Djembe' page! This is one of the best resources on the internet for information about all things djembe. By selecting one of the links below you can learn more about how to play, tune, maintain, repair, and rehead a djembe drum. We also offer information on how to select the right djembe for you, give suggestions on where to purchase your djembe, and include information on the history and making of a djembe drum in West Africa. If you have any comments or input we'd love to hear from you. Enjoy!
Body and Drum Position
Position the drum so that the spine of the goat skin is lined up between both hands, pointing directly toward you. The neck is the thickest part, which should be closest to the hands. Playing with the spine lined up will help improve sound quality. If you can't see the spine, or if it wasn't lined up when intially installed, then align the drum any direction you like!
Hand and Arm Position
The hand can come in contact with the bearing edge of the djembe on either side of the knuckles at the top of the palm. Most advanced djembe drummers position the hand so contact is made slightly on the palm-side of the knuckles, taking advantage of the skin pad and natural calouses found there. The best way to find the correct position for you is to experiment with different placement and discover which helps you achieve proper sound without causing you pain.
Bass, Tone, and Slap
Even though there are many different, specific strokes that can be used on the djembe, some general principles apply to the most common described here. First, the djembe is a "whole hand" instrument, unlike the dumbek or tar, which involved a lot of individual finger work. With each stroke all four fingers will make contact with the head at the same time, and rebound at the same time. The palm is included with the bass stroke.
Second, the sounds of the djembe come from two main sources: off the top of the vibrating head, and out the bottom of the stem. In order to allow the skin to vibrate, the hand should immediately leave after making contact. Think of the hand bouncing off the top of the skin, but don't think of bouncing a basketball (too much wrist, and too much "push" action in that analogy). It isn't necessary to withdraw the whole hand and forearm up away from the drum as dramatically as one would when touching a hot surface. Rather, be relaxed enough to allow a natural reflextion of the hand up just an inch or two above the surface of the drum. In order to allow the sound to extend out the bottom of the djembe be sure nothing is blocking the base hole, including not playing with the drum flat on the floor.
How To Care for and Maintain Your Djembe
Just as with any musical instrument, the djembe requires respect and care in order for sound quality and materials to last. If you take care of your djembe the wood and rings should last a lifetime. Life expectancy of skin and rope will depend on how often it is played, how well it is cared for, and the level of tension maintained. In general, it is a good idea to keep your djembe in a case for storage and transportation, which will protect the shell and the head from overexposure to the elements, and protect against bumps and drops.
Since wood (unless sealed) and animal skin are hygroscopic materials they continually take up and release moisture in response to climate conditions. Goat skin, since is it thinner and softer, responds more to changes in temerature and relative humidity than do most kind of wood. When moisture is absorbed the cells expand, causing an increase of overall size. This is why a drum will lose tension and drop in pitch when taken from Santa Fe to Atlanta (low relative humidity to higher humidity), all other factors being equal. When moisture is released the cells shrink. This is also why most unsealed djembes that are not kiln dried tend to have hairline to full-depth cracks when exported from equatorial West Africa to arid climates such as in Salt Lake City. This is also why the skin on a tuned djembe will likely break if left in a car on a hot summer day, or if placed directly in front of a heater vent after being in a cold environment.

We've created a custom page with detailed images and in depth descriptions on how to tune the African djembe. Click here to go directly to that page, found elsewhere on this website.
We're working on creating a free tutorial on how to rehead a rope tension djembe with goat skin, but it isn't done yet. We'll post that information here when it is finished. Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, we have some DVDs available for purchase that provide step=by-step instruction on how to rehead the djembe. Click here to see these items, or find the link on the left referring to 'Tools & Supplies'.
Brief History of the Djembe Drum
Who really knows? Seriously, we have encountered so many different versions of the origin of the djembe from African master drummers and westerners enthusiasts and acedemics who have studied the subject, that it is difficult to put into writing one story that would be credible. We'll relate here the most widely accepted key components of the history of the djembe:

Which of this year's actresses deserve the industry's highest honors?
With many of Hollywood's perenially favorite veteran actresses noticably absent from the big screen in 2012 — or having appeared in movies that simply failed to live up to expectations — the 2013 Best Actress nominees will likely be made up of mostly new faces and skew much younger than in years past. In fact, several of the actresses receiving Oscar buzz are in their '20s and one — Quvenzhané Wallis, star of Beasts of the Southern Wild — is only 9 years old, which would make her the youngest actress ever nominated for an Oscar should she get the nod. We already asked you to tell us which movies you thought were the best and which directors are most deserving of Oscar nominations, now tell us which actresses are worthy of the movie industry's highest honors, whether Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress.

Two East Carolina University faculty members will be on Hollywood Boulevard for Sunday's Academy Awards show to conduct research from the red carpet.
Tracy Tuten and Christy Ashley are professors in ECU's College of Business and will be tracking how social media dovetails with celebrity influence.
Tuten, who has expertise in social media, says,"The Academy Awards reached 40 million viewers and resulted in 3.8 million comments on social media sites in 2012, which makes the Academy Awards an excellent context to study how social media works with celebrities."
Ashley studies the emotional connections that people have with brands. Her research focuses on how connections to a particular brand are formed, people's willingness to forgive a brand or not, and the general loyalty that people may have to a particular product.
Their travel is being paid for using private money from a development fund for business faculty members to encourage and enable research. Each researcher is investing $950.00 from her faculty development fund and will be co-authors of the research study.
You can follow Tuten and Ashley during the pre-show and the awards at @brandacity (Tuten) and @drcashley (Ashley).

Pollux V was the uninhabited fifth planet of the Beta Geminorum system in the Alpha Quadrant. It was approximately four billion years old and the nearest starbase was Starbase 12. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country production art)
Like all other planets in this system, save for Pollux IV, the planet bore no signs of intelligent life, which was statistically unexpected when the planet was examined by the USS Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")
Background information
In the "The Explored Galaxy", Pollux IV, a sister planet, was located between the Tholian Assembly and Romulus. Both were identified in DS9: "Call to Arms" as being located in the Alpha Quadrant.
Pollux V was featured in the video game Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. Pollux V became the site of the Federation Nikolasi (Nikolasi at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works) colony established by followers of the Acolytes of the Stars (Acolytes of the Stars at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works) religion. In 2268, the Enterprise was called to the Pollux system when the colonists began to encounter "demons". The demons turned out to be robots created by an automated defense system, taking the form of the worst fear of the intruder. The Enterprise crew discovered members of the native species of the planet, an insectoid race called the Nauians. (Nauian at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works) They had remained underground in suspended animation for millennia. After the first contact, Nauians applied for Federation membership.

Fort Baxter Air Base is a national guard military base in Vice City in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
GTA Vice City
Fort Baxter Airbase first appeared in GTA Vice City, located just north of Escobar International Airport.
There are large numbers of troops armed with M4's guarding the area, making it extremely dangerous to try and gain access to the base. The soldiers have a shoot-on-sight policy and will occasionally attack Tommy Vercetti when he passes by in the street outside, even though the player is technically not trespassing on the base itself, and regardless of whether or not the player is armed. The troops behave as a hostile gang and attacking one soldier will cause all the soldiers to attack the player. For this reason, extreme caution should be used when in the area.
It is worth noting that Fort Baxter, like the police station in Washington Beach, can be entered freely if the player is wearing the police uniform or army fatigues (the latter only in Vice City Stories), giving very easy access to military vehicles located inside. A strange thing is that soldiers patrolling Fort Baxter Air Base never participate in law enforcement activity; if the player is wearing a cop uniform or army fatigues and enters the base with a wanted level; only the law enforcement officers that enter from outside will try killing the player.
There are no hidden packages within the base (except for a package behind the sign in GTA VC), but there are accessible military vehicles, including the Rhino and the Hunter. Even so, stealing them with so many soldiers in the vicinity is no mean feat. The Hunter is particularly secure, as it is located at the rear of the base, behind many fences that need to be circumvented. Landing a Maverick next to the Hunter and then quickly jumping on board is one tactic to obtain the coveted attack helicopter.
GTA Vice City Stories
Fort Baxter Airbase is also featured in GTA Vice City Stories. Set two years before GTA Vice City, the airbase's internal layout is significantly different. In Vice City, the base is accessible by breaking through the barriers at the main gate or jumping over it, while in Vice City Stories, the gates open automatically, are more substantial and cannot be broken. Corporal Victor Vance was stationed at Fort Baxter until his dishonorable discharge when Sergeant Peppah found marijuana hidden under Victor's bed.
After re-unlocking the Army Fatigues, Victor Vance can enter the base any time and he gets the same treatment as he did during his time in the army that includes aiming at soldiers and killing them until the limit of 3 is reached and then every new set of soldiers spawning will start shooting at him.
Like Vice City, Vice City Stories also has accessible military vehicles but this time they're available from the start of the game except the Rhino which is only unlocked after the mission Over the Top.
Ghost TowerThe "Ghost Tower" refers to an air traffic control tower that was originally intended to be located within Fort Baxter in GTA Vice City. In GTA Vice City Stories however it is unknown if the tower was cut again or possibly just a left over from GTA Vice City. It was removed prior to the game's release. The tower was going to serve a runway at the base that was also cut pre-release. The texture can still be viewed before entering the mainland, as when the mainland is entered the map fully loads and the tower can't be viewed up close. However with the help of an in-game trainer the tower can be viewed while on the mainland provided the player has a sufficient amount of altitude. It is visible in both GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories.

Buffy Wiki
I haven't seen many active Admin's on the Buffy Wiki. Do you know of any? QueenBuffy 03:29, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Din's Fire... but nevermind... I'll make you admin there. My Buffy Wikibreak isn't over yet. --Gonzalo84 (talk) 03:32, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Awwww yay!! Thanks :) BTW, what is the license template you use for actor images? QueenBuffy 03:38, January 3, 2013 (UTC) P.S. I am re-watching the entire series now with my boyfriend- we started tonight with s1 ep-1-4 so I will be editing there more often I am sure :)
Complete Guide to Westeros
Your version was much closer to the original than mine, now that I know that you can do them that way the others will go faster. I thought you had to make them very different. The only apostrophe that I found that I hadn't put in was the one for "father's bed". I tried to check thoroughly, was that the only mistake? Should the photo of Theon with the direwolf have been put in the gallery rather than in the Season 1 section?Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:59, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, each Aerys should have been followed by an apostrophe. Darn, this time I really thought I had checked enough. Maybe I need to wait an hour, take a break and then reread. I'll try that. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 06:01, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
Buffy Wiki part deux
Ok, clarify for me... give me an example what you would write past tense and what you wouldn't... lol. Sorry, I can be slow at times. And don't sell yourself short, you still register roughly around 35-40thousand views/hits a day on the wiki :) That's really good! Ok, I won't mess with the pic licensing- I may create a generic license statement though and put it on the community page somewhere. Just so we have it somewhere as a disclaimer, in case they do ever look. QueenBuffy 16:08, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, I gotcha now :) Thanks. Oh, I also want you to consider making Ownerman an Admin. I've noticed he's made over 2,000 edits, and he really deserved it more than me. I think he could help me a lot while you are on hiatus. Just a thought :D --QueenBuffy 03:16, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I did add some new houses to put people in the Catagories of the Houses that their information boxes said they owed alligence to. Most of these went into houses that had already been established, Stark and Lannister primarily. I think I did add three or four Houses, but then I went back and deleted two of them, because you said not to make catagories that had less than three entries. I think you mean that I didn't add them to the Houses Catagory. Thanks for the heads up, I will go and do so now.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 04:42, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
I agree they are pointless, that is why I do a search and see how many articles are related and would be included in the Catagory, and I deleted the ones that didn't. I'm going through the whole list of vassel houses now. About half of the house catagories are linked to the Vassel House Catagory and houses of a particular region Catagory and half aren't. I was adding the ones that weren't. I think it would probably make more sense that way. I'm probably not explaining that right.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:30, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I didn't catogize anyone under a name I'm just doing houses. Vassel House, House of the North, etc. what I was saying before was that instead of putting House Clegane (to use your example) into the Catagory of House Lannister, put it in the Catagory of House Clegane and then put that Catagory into the House Lannister. So when it's pressed you get all of the house articles together.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:36, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, Category. It was actually auto correcting it that way. When it auto corrects I usually trust it better than my own judgement.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:39, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Anyway, let me know what you think about adding the category of the house rather than the house itself. This way the article page would take you to the category of that house, and then the houses category page would take you the category page of the house it owes alligence to. What do you think?Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:42, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Winterfell Shepherd
I did add one line to this, about Theon giving the gold pouch to Dagmer, and I corrected it to say that they were "orphans" and that Dagmer had gone back to kill him and his "wife". And those lines were correct. I'm being more careful with grammar.
As for Cersei, I went to change it, but you had already done so. Ok, I see how the handmaiden's reference to Cersei was tangential, but Cersei's reference to Robert being an indifferent husband was relevant.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 17:52, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
Are you on tonight?
I was wondering if you were familiar with templates for references? I need help on another wiki I run. I am trying to set it up so that references will show at the bottom of the page, but having major issues. Thanks :) QueenBuffy 03:02, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
In the books
"The series is called A Song of Ice and Fire, not "Song of Ice and Fire... please correct your modifications".--Gonzalo84 (talk) 22:02, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
That's exactly what I'm doing. I've been changing incorrect instances of "The" to "A". Not once have I changed it to just "Song of Ice and Fire". Please be more careful in the future, as this is the second time you've accused me of something I haven't done--The Bastard of Bolton (talk) 22:12, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
- I know you're not making that mistake. If you understood that I'm sorry, I just wanted you to place the "A" inside the links. That's all. And thank you for improving my latest cleanup spree. Its greatly appreciated.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 22:15, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
- I have been adding the "A" within the links in every instance that I've edited so far. And you're welcome. Of, course, I understand that honest mistakes are made.--The Bastard of Bolton (talk) 22:23, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
Daenerys I Targaryen
Thanks, I will go and leave a note about it on the other wiki.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:07, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
Eddard and Catelyn
This is a work in progress; I only started writing it yesterday. I have not gotten to the point of proof-reading for commas yet. As for Brandon riding to his wedding, that is in the book, but I thought it was also in the Complete Guide to Westeros, which would make it canon. I will check. Yes, I have used the term "Crown Prince", but I will stop doing so. I am still making descisions about how much information about other characters to include. I will reread QueenBuffy's "Drogo and Daenerys" as a guide. Thank you for proofreading, I always appreciate constructive criticism.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 06:23, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! I'm new at the forum, and still don't know how it work...
18.104.22.168 14:01, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I'll see how the other films were put in and do it the same way. Also, there needs to be a concensous for an apostrophe on a name ending in an "s". I put in an 's and had "s" taken out as unnecessary. Then when I removed one it was put back in. I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently even the Supreme Court can't decide if the "s" is needed after the apostrophe on a name ending in "s".Ch'vyalthan (talk) 04:56, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Words ending in "s" DO NOT add another possessive apostrophe-S. Never. For example, "the daughter of Stannis" is written as "Stannis' daughter", NEVER "Stannis's daughter". There is no debate.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:07, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
What you want me to do
Sorry I left this message on my page, but I'm not sure you got it. Do you want me to go through the whole Mentioned Character category and remove them all from the "Image Needed" category only, or from both the "Image Needed" and "Quote Needed" categories. I will be happy to take out the ones I put in and the one others put in, as well. Please just tell me which ones.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 00:34, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
storm of swords book compilation
== I'm sorry. Spoilers from the novels,
I had that quote for Armeca so I added it in when I put took her out of the quote needed category. I have other quotes, but I'll wait until I finish and go back and add those in. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 02:49, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
I think I've taken all the only mentioned characters out. I still think that a house sigil would be better than nothing. That's how it's done on the Family Trees on the major character pages. It would make the Characters category pages look better.
I checked for quotes, but didn't find many where a quote was put in, but the "Quote Needed" category hadn't been removed. I found a lot more characters that had spoken in the show, but didn't have quotes and weren't in the "Quote Needed" category. I didn't add them; I just made a list. I wasn't sure what the reaction would be if I started adding more people in than I was taking out. However, I'll be getting quotes for them or at least trying to in the next few days. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 10:50, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
- "Quote needed" isn't so bad as "Image needed", as theoretically, any character mentioned or referred to in dialogue can have a quote attributed to them. Things like "Luthor Tyrell", however, which you added "Quote Needed" to, SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT have a quote, because they're only known of from family trees. "Quote Needed" can broadly be used for anything mentioned in actual, on-screen dialogue, even by other people.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:57, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
I did not put "Luthor Tyrell" in the "Quote Needed" category, I only put him in the "Image Needed" category, and then took him out. I still think there could be the image of the House Sigil as there is in the Family Trees. It would make the Characters category page look better. I went through every character and there were only a couple of things I found that I had done wrong, such as putting Mace Tyrell in the "Quote Needed" category. He was one of only two season 3 people that already had a quote. I did find several people who had been given quotes, but had not then been removed from the category, and I took them out. I did find a couple of others not in a category they should have been in like the Lord of Bones. I also removed the image and quote needed categories that other people had put in, for characters only written about in books. I removed everyone who was only mentioned that I had added to the "Quote Needed" and "Image Needed" categories, as I had been instructed to do. I never added anyone who was only written about in a book to the "Quote Needed" category. I found lots of characters who actually spoke during the show or were spoken about who did not have quotes. I didn't add in more people to "Quote Needed", because of all the fuss, but I made a list and will try to get the quotes. If I can't find them or can't make out what they are saying or just get tired, I'll add them into the category and let someone else take a shot at it. About the Aggo page, I did catch that Rakharo was spelled with an "h" and thought I had changed it, but apparently something happened as it didn't publish the correction. Thanks for catching that. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 21:15, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
Thos charactes don't require sigil images on the infoboxes because they already have sigils by their names--Gonzalo84 ([[User talk:Gonzalo84|talk]]) 22:00, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
We need to differentiate articles with "Valyria" in the title, however I think having a disambiguation page (as the default link) isn't really necessary. What I think we should do is have "Valyria" redirect automatically to "Valyrian Freehold", as this is what is usually meant. A link to a disambiguation page can go on the top of this. Meanwhile, I think we should retitle the article on the specific capital city to "Old Valyria", to keep the titles distinct (and not without justification, as they've called it that at times). Other things aren't so ambiguous; "Valyrian peninsula", "Valyrian steel", and "the Doom of Valyria" won't really be confused with the ancient empire, though I would put them in the disambiguation page as "Valyria related topics".--The Dragon Demands (talk) 01:55, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
I think soldiers should be in a separate category from smallfolk. Well, "Palla" is a smallfolk living in Winterfell, but actual guardsmen like Polliver should be in a "soldiers" category.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:11, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
Can I edit
I was trying to edit and it won't let me. It is just like when I first joined and it would only let me edit in monobook. I edited War of Five King's. There were a lot of mistakes and I corrected them. Now it won't even let me check the edit history. I was working now on changing the word Harrenhall to Harrenhal . There is one in the "in the book" section of Old Gods and the New, but it won't let me change it. Am I not allowed to edit while my case is under review, because I need to rewrite my article that's in my sandbox. What about making a blog. Is that OK? Ch'vyalthan (talk) 13:03, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
It is terribly frustrating having to work in monobook. Please let me know the rules about whether I am allowed to edit.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 13:13, January 23, (UTC)
P.s. I had an idea that I told Dragon the other day. Can we get quotations for mentioned only in book sources characters out of A Complete Guide to Westeros? We do use it as canon for background information.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 13:15, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
It's letting me edit again in wikia. If I can't edit I need to upload that list of all the characters that spoke or were spoken about into the "Quote Needed" category so someone else can do itCh'vyalthan (talk) 13:37, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
War of Five Kings
Usually I never comment or question a revision by an admin, but my revision of War of Five King's was not a bad one. The word strength was misspelled twice in that article. It said that Stannis and Renly have "raise" their own armies instead of "raised". It didn't mention that Eddard had been named regent before being charged with treason. It said the Lannister forces "has" responded instead of "have". The name Greyjoy was misspelled. It said "on" the wake of Eddard's execution instead of "in" the wake. Your revision put all of these errors back into the article. These were actually things that were wrong that I corrected. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 13:53, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
I edited War of Five King's again. Please, please read it and you will see that my edits are good.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 14:21, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
I was going to continue with finding quotations, but then I realized that I may not be here in a week, and I have to wrap up all of my loose ends, just in case. I have this list of people that quotes exist for who still need them, but as I can't do it, I'll have to add them to the "Quote Needed" category. They have been checked, but I will go through and double check to be sure that they speak or are spoken about and do not currently have posted quotes. In fact I'll probably recheck the whole thing just to be sure. I'll make a note to Dragon so he doesn't think I've gone "insane" again. I like to visit actors Wikipedia pages, and, when I find a fact that is new, I jot it on a list. I have two loose leaf pages of notes. I have to input this stuff if a time is coming when I can't, so I'll have to stop looking for quotes, for now at least. I think quotes would be a good idea on every page, not just characters, but castles, cities objects etc. If it is decided that we can use The Complete Guide to Westeros for quotes, it would give us quotes for lots of people, institutions, events, eras, etc. It would make the wiki look really polished. I will check in with you before starting anything major.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 16:54, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
This is nearly empty. If it is a valid category, I'll add to it, if not I'll empty it so it disappears.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 23:39, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
I've gone through the Characters category so often I'm seeing these people in my sleep. Hot pie and the Tickler are names, so I didn't include them in with the unnamed. I asked this once before, are the animals characters? The Three-eyed raven is in Characters, but the wolves aren't. The wolves have more right to be so, if they aren't, then the raven has to come out.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 01:35, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
Quotations around episodes
One of the things Dragon says I did consistently wrong was putting quotations around episodes. There are quotations around episodes throughout this wiki. In picture descriptions, in info boxes, in galleries, and even in references. I see them everywhere. I was going to start making the effort to remove them, but I'm not sure where to even start. Any advice?Ch'vyalthan (talk) 06:23, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
P.s. I started doing searches on misspelled stuff and I've been able to find and remove a lot of weird stuff: Danerys, Barratheon, Mamoa, etc. Kit Harington's info box had the title "Kit Harrington".
When I'm less tired, I need to go through all the minor characters next as there are several uncredited extras in there who I think should be in the background category instead. Which leads to another question. There are several uncredited extras who are described as reoccurring background characters. Are they background characters or reoccurring characters? Or are they both? Ch'vyalthan (talk) 06:27, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
I think I've got the characters in the right categories, and I've burned through one page of my actor notes. Just to check before I do some thing, actors have a star category, but no categories for the others: minor characters and extras. I was going to make those. I have so much practice now that it shouldn't take that long. Also, I never got an answer on my question of the idea of getting quotes from The Complete Guide to Westeros. To clarify, I'm not going to do it, I was just asking if it was a possibility. I think it would be nice if every page started with a quote, as it really improves the appearance of the page. Have to go. iPad needs recharging. Still looking out for quotations around episodes, those really are everywhere. It will be a massive job to remove them all.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 23:07, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, no more incidentals. Can I put in those actor categories when I come back?Ch'vyalthan (talk) 23:17, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- First, yes, for future reference for other editors, I think the Complete Guide to Westeros is a good source of quotes, albeit, ones from the actual TV series are preferable - i.e. quotes about Ned Stark should be from the TV series, but if there is no other quote for "Valyria" etc., we'll use the Complete Guide as a second best. The idea being that not everyone bought the Blu Ray box or viewed the Complete Guide on youtube or whatever; we need to be geared towards casual viewers strictly watching only the 10 aired episodes. I didn't point this out sooner...because I don't want to encourage you to contribute to this wiki in any way whatsoever.
- Second, Gonzalo84 already told you to stop making hour by hour "progress reports" touting how much wonderful work you've done...and instead, you might try doing "actual work".
- Third, do you comprehend that there's a formal vote to have you banned from this wiki? What purpose is served by launching into a binge of work which you cannot possibly finish before next Tuesday when the final decision is made? Are you trying to finish all of this before next Tuesday, in the hopes that this will "sway our opinion" with your wonderful work? You're a walking disaster area and this wiki will only get back on track once you are removed.
- Fourth, as I said on your own talk page....THESE were your character notes? Things you read off IMDB and Wikipedia? ANYONE could have done that.
- Fifth, my heart leaps for joy inside whenever you announce that "my iPad needs recharging" because it means we get a few hours without the distraction of your editing. That, and you're still buffoonish enough to keep pleading "but I'm using an iPad!" as an excuse for either not loading images, or, stopping needed editing half-finished because you're out of charge. These are "explanations" but not "excuses" ...in much the same sense that "I am lazy" would technically be an "explanation" but not an "excuse". Seriously....do you think this wiki is about a TV series, and its thousands of viewers...or about you? WE DON'T CARE WHY YOU'RE TURNING IN BAD WORK, only that you are. Think objectively. Your personal reasons for being physically unable to contribute as well as any other user SHOULD NOT AFFECT US. There isn't some online anti-discrimination law against that....again, if someone came on here and said "I can only use a computer with a keyboard that has all the vowel-keys removed from the keyboard"...THAT WOULD NOT BE A LEGITIMATE EXCUSE. So why should we care if you have an iPad, or if you're banging two rocks together? All that matters is you're turning in bad work.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:30, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
Major Characters
I didn't put Ygritte in minor characters, she was already there. I made her character supporting because of that. Talisa wasn't listed in either major or minor, but if Ygritte was minor having more screen time. I'll change them.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:45, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
I am consulting the list on every character. Ygritte was listed as minor and Talisa wasn't there at all. I agree with you that it was something neglected some where along the line, but we caught it now. That's good. I'll change it.Ch'vyalthan (talk) 05:48, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
It will work with the categories you suggested. Starring cast, supporting cast, minor roles. I can fix it. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 09:13, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
I had to fix this. I had a stomach ache and couldn't sleep until I did it. I put in the categories you said, except I used "Supporting Role" instead of "Supporting Cast", because I already had a bunch of people in there. I don't plan on making any more categories, I'll just put people into existing ones, but I had to fix this. I found a photo on Aimee Richardson's IMD'b entry. It's of Myrcella and Tommen looking in horror at something during the Hand's Tournament (Ser Hugh or Clegane's horse probably). I dont think it's on the wiki yet. I did good work today. I corrected several wrong facts, one in Fire and Blood that Ser Ilyn was the one that held up Eddard's head, and I added the reference list to Wolf and the Lion. And even though I started out doing the Actor categories wrong, I did fix them, and they exist now. Ch'vyalthan (talk) 11:48, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Moving up banning timeline
There wouldn't be much point in waiting until Tuesday, except, that the other admins haven't commented yet. You already got The Bastard of Bolton's attention, but as for Admins, I've left notes for Werthead and QueenBuffy, they should get back to that in a day or two. (I also left a note for OPark77, but he's been on break from the wiki since November, so if the other three people weigh in but he hasn't, we probably shouldn't wait for him). But we at least need QueenBuffy and Werthead to weight in; this can't look like an "unfair" snap judgement done in a fit of pique. We can't have him running around saying we're unfair bullys. Rather, solemnly evaluating his record, he has to be formally rejected by this wiki's contributors.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 19:13, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, that is the very reason why I didn't outright ban him.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 19:21, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Were the decision mine (which it is not), I think that the "Eddard and Catelyn" article which Ch'Vyalthan has been working on for the past few weeks should be deleted out of hand; it would be easier to restart from scratch at a later date than put up with his nonsense. It would be a final proclamation that his work truly was useless. Moreover, he seems to be treating it as a parting shot to the wiki: "haha, you're banning me but I'm still determined to get that Eddard and Catelyn article uploaded" - working away at it for 22 hours straight even when he knows he's being banned. Destroy all Ch'Vyalthan touched.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:29, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
- According to the Block Log, Ch'Vyalthan still has a ban with "with an expiry time of 1 year", and not permanent. Is it actually permanent?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:01, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, good then. It is officially a permanent ban. And if for some reason due to wiki mechanics only setting one year bans at maximum (I'm not sure on that), even if he comes back in a year we just automatically re-apply the ban.
- It is done then. In which case: Heads, spikes, walls.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 21:21, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
Bolton Template
I edited the Bolton template, removing Ramsay Snow as the heir, but now it simply says "{{{heir}}}" on the template, but when I go to edit it again, there is now "heir" in the edit page. Did I do something wrong? DRAEVAN13 00:50, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Hey, can you change something on AWOIAF? I don't have an account there. I need you to remove Kovarro from the "characters only in the TV series" category. As explained in the "in the books" section on Kovarro, he's not so much "new" as "renamed"; apparently because they thought "Jhago" sounded too much like "Khal Jhaqo", they renamed it "Kovarro"...and then switched the names and descriptions of Rakharo and Jhago/Kovarro. Thus while the book Jhago is younger and skilled with a whip, and book Rakharo is slightly older and skilled with a sword, "TV-Rakharo" is younger and skilled with a whip, and "TV-Jhago" (Kovarro) is slightly older and skilled with a sword. He's not really a "new" character, anymore than "Yara Greyjoy" was.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 03:11, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Well yes he's more of an expy, but even the AWOIAF page interlinks by saying that "Rakharo in the TV series seems to be based on Jhago".--The Dragon Demands (talk) 12:23, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Summer Islands and Sothoroys
At the moment we have no confirmation that the Viewer's Guide map will be updated. Given that Dany has already reached the eastern-most-part of her journey (at Qarth, according to GRRM) and S3 will be spent in areas on the existing map, HBO may choose not to bother. In that case the TV show and books will simply have different maps, with Great Moraq and other places simply not existing in the TV show version of the world. Once S3 starts we should know for sure, and should hold fire on adding any Land of Ice and Fire locations until then (and then only what are shown on the TV show's map). --Werthead (talk) 12:59, February 2, 2013 (UTC)
Permanent banning
Hi Gonzalo. Regarding your message to The Dragon Demands - to permanently ban someone from a wiki, you select "other time period" from the drop-down menu, and write "infinite" in the box below. Hope that helps.--250px40px 11:11, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks man.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 15:30, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I am Daniel, I come from Merlin Wiki and as that show as ended I began watching Game of Thrones after my friends convinced him to and I could not have regretted it less! I have been hooked and now have to go through torture waiting for Season 3! ;) It is an amazing show, best TV show I've watched, it is so unique and original. This Wiki too is good but there is just one thing I must protest about, and that is the background for the form on the edit menu. I know I could easily edit this out in my personal CSS/JS, but it really is very difficult to read the text on top of it. Could you at least lighten it, or put a coating of colour or something over it? It doesn't even match the background, I can what it's getting at and the concept is nice, but it is an eyesore with the text on top!
Also have you considered more customisation and JS featyres for your Wiki, such as custom skins for your buttons and toolbars, a "jump to top" button (this can all be found on the developer Wiki), an auto-refresh for your Wiki activity.. just to list a few. I hope to talk again!
thnx for the warm welcome and the explanations given.
This wiki looks great!

Shouldn't Great Houses like the Starks or Lannisters have their own current House navbox at the bottom of the page, for ease of navigation?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 17:24, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Wait, I see: yes the bottom half about "Sworn Houses" becomes redundant, but the stuff about family, heirs, and titles is still needed; we should keep the "Stark navbox" etc. while removing the redundant info.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 17:28, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll modify the infoboxes.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 18:10, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:13, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll modify the infoboxes.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 18:10, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Vandals and Layout
Dragon Demands has been promoted. We had a significant vandal attack yesterday, but fortunately I was online at the time and able to stop it in its tracks, so yes, this is going to be a problem. I don't really see any option other than to clean up and lock any articles that are targetted in particular. As for the background, I agree but it's going to be difficult to find a good way of using the new S3 artwork on the wiki. Some of the American newspapers are using a version where the shadow of the dragon falls across the text of their actual articles, but I'm not sure if that would work here, or if it would look too weird if it did (plus it would mean changing the colour scheme of the whole wiki).--Werthead (talk) 15:09, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Wikia Staff is going to create a new layout for us. :) QueenBuffy 18:10, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Colour scheme
I like the backdrop, but it isn't meshing well with the wiki colour scheme. Ironically, the new colour scheme we've just adopted on the I&F Wikia actually might be a better match for this background. Otherwise perhaps increasing transparency, so the dragon shadow is more visible? At the moment it looks a bit odd.--Werthead (talk) 20:56, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree the image needs to be a tad bit smaller so that we can make out that the shadow is indeed a dragon. Also, the section headings are still red/gold...as well as the visual box is still showing the crown. I will message the Joe from Wikia about it. :) QueenBuffy 22:01, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
Great! I will check on it, if you haven't already. QueenBuffy 02:00, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
Stannis Image
I think I'm going to wait and see what HBO releases as it's newest still of Stannis. The screencap you uploaded seemed a bit green in hue/tint. :) There's no rush. QueenBuffy 19:43, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
I wanted to let you (and the other admins) know that the Create Your House contest is currently live. I am going to put a link to it in the main page slider (hope you don't mind). I will keep you guys updated on judging and prizes.
Also, speaking of slider, there is currently a link to Westeros.org. Would you mind if we change that link to go to Wikia's A Song of Ice and Fire Wiki? Let me know and thank you. PORTERFIELD 02:23, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
- We would vehemently mind. The entire point of Game of Thrones wiki is that the A Wiki of Ice and fire crowd from Westeros.or co-opted THE wiki about the TV show before it even started, leaving the pissant Wikia A Song of Ice and Fire wiki to wither on the vine. No, do not change the links. Burden not Columbia with your chaff.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 19:01, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
User name
I have to say, I'm a little offended by user Taint Maggot's name. What do you think we could do about this, if anything? QueenBuffy 07:30, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know... how did we get "The Bastard of Bolton" to change his name and become "The Boy Who..."--Gonzalo84 (talk) 15:14, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I think the staff came to him. I will bring this to them however. It's quite the vile name. Thank you. QueenBuffy 15:37, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
I'd prefer to meet you in chat and tell you there, if that's ok? QueenBuffy 19:28, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
"I'm sure I am missing something because of the whole "not native english-speaker" thing, but I'd like to understand the offensive thing about Maggot's username. Is it a slur?Gonzalo84 (talk) 19:11, March 7, 2013 (UTC)"
- It's gross and it is offending to me. I'm sure it may be to others. If "Bastard of Bolton" was made to be changed, than I am sure the staff won't look too kindly at "Taint". That word coupled with "maggot" is nasty and I'm sort of appalled that you are defending it. I've already brought it to the staff, so it's their say. No need to defend it again. QueenBuffy 20:10, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh I'm not defending it, I personally banned him out of hand simply for choosing such an offensive name. Oh I see what you mean: the above "I understand your concern" bit was just about shooting Gonazalo84 a message on his Talk page, explaining why this is a grotesque username (instead of waiting around for chat): even though "cunt" is a word on the TV show, I'd still ban anyone who used it as part of their username (Ch'Vyalthan had the odd habit of not wanting to repeat curse words used in-dialogue, instead going out of his way to make awkward phrases to get around it; it was kind of labored).--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:13, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, I was wondering! lol And I explained to him in chat. I'm going to go ahead and remove the explanation- even that sounds gross lol. QueenBuffy 20:17, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
Characters significantly changed
CestWhat is starting to argue against the very concept of comparing books to TV adaptations so I'm going to ask your opinions on this: I think my section on Robb/Talisa/Catelyn was a bit too acerbic and negative, though I don't have time to rewrite it now. Are there other things you feel need to be changed? I'm looking for a specific list of things which need to be fixed. CestWhat seems upset by the Osha/Asha/Yara stuff, though I've posted a link to a WiC news post which pretty much sums up the whole thing anyway. CestWhat opposes making the basic comment that "Asha is a more significant character than Osha so it's curious why they'd change Asha's name and not the wildling's name, but maybe they just didn't realize this at first because Asha wasn't in season 1". I am a WikiDragon, not a WikiKnight. We do what needs to be done.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 05:07, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
Robb Pic
I know you are a right to like or not like whatever pic, but I prefer the other family tree picture for Robb Stark I used. I liked it because it show how light brown his hair colour is. CestWhat (talk) 16:21, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
In "Lord Snow" in the scene where Catelyn first meets Littlefinger, is the dark-skinned prostitute sitting behind him supposed to be Alayaya?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 23:14, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
Would you be opposed if I banned CestWhat? For 1 - pervasive and unrepentant spelling errors, 2 - pestering the Admins (particularly during a very busy time), 3 - linking to a youtube clip. I increasingly look to the strict standards of the Mass Effect Wiki, and realize that if they can maintain such high editing standards, why can't we?--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:38, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oh sure. Do we have a new image of Stannis yet? I'm pretty sure I uploaded a new Jon image in the cast portal, but I will double check when I get home later. QueenBuffy 18:32, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Ooo, that is nice! I will change it in a couple of hours :) QueenBuffy 19:32, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Check it out. Added Stannis and put Mance instead of Davos :) QueenBuffy 18:09, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

If Mance Rayder is going to have his own cast portal image on the front page, perhaps his slot in the slider should be changed to Slaver's Bay? It's an entirely new and important setting in the series (I really hope no TV-first fans were paying close attention to details about Qarth; they're going to spend quite a few seasons in Slaver's Bay).--The Dragon Demands (talk) 01:15, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
Race infobox
I was inspired by Wookiepedia to make a Race template, now that Season 3 is going to start introducing things. Non-human races are so rare that I felt it was better to make a "Race" template as a catch-all applied to different "races" as in "cultures" - i.e. both "Giants" and "Dornishmen" (and a "Type" entry on the box indicates if they are "Human" or "Non-Human"). Things like the Valyrians would be "Extinct" (are the old-style Rhoynar "extinct"?, strictly speaking)? However I've run into problems with it on the "Giants" page; it keeps including the entire article in the infobox.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 19:45, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
Servants of Darkness
Do you think Servants of Darkness should have their own page? There wouldn't be much bio on them and I figured they'd mostly be written about in the article, but thought I'd ask :) QueenBuffy 03:34, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, no I wasn't- I was thinking about it earlier when watching the episode again- thought I'd ask :) QueenBuffy 03:37, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- The image of her is an actual HBO promotional image. Is there one of her from the episode? QueenBuffy 06:01, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, the promo images are always great. Good quality :) QueenBuffy 07:49, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- The image of her is an actual HBO promotional image. Is there one of her from the episode? QueenBuffy 06:01, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

- Me too.QueenBuffy 23:26, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
CestWhat destroyed what little chance she had for coming back onto this wiki; rather than complain and ask for leniency, she proceeded to make a series of dummy accounts and continued to edit under them. ...rather stupidly, she continued to work on things which only CestWhat was working on; character quote templates, family tree templates, etc. Oddly, she didn't just make one dummy account but multiple accounts depending on what task she was doing at the moment, i.e. "Quotabe characters" for quotes, or "PicsPics" for photos, etc. But the nail in the coffin was over on Wikia: I wrote her a warning on her Talk page there to go away and stop harassing us on other wikis. She used one of her dummy accounts, "PicsPics" to remove the message...apparently not realizing this tipped me off that they were one and the same. Complaining for leniency was one thing, but making multiple dummy-accounts to circumvent a ban crosses the line: now there is no doubt it must be a permanent ban, beyond all hope of appeal, and any new account she makes will be deleted on sight.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 21:09, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

Spare time we don't have.
I know we don't really have "spare" time, but if you happen to find some, I could use some help going through these uncategorized files and either delete them, or categorize them properly.

Oh wow. It means Wikia has blocked them Wikia-wide. I wonder if that was a Cestwhat sockpocket or a user that was complained about on another page? QueenBuffy 19:12, April 22, 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I just noticed that you deleted the image. I wasn't aware that the particular wiki I took the image from was using fan-made content. I'm sorry. Viktoria Landers (talk) 20:58, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Done. With almost 300 instances of that wayward period, I can see why it was such an annoyance!
Durrandon vs Durrendon
Crud. Apparently, Elio "Ran" Garcia of Westeros.org confirmed that the name is actually "Durrendon" -- apparently centuries of linguistic/name drift turned the "House of Durran" into "House Durrendon" with an "e". http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Talk:House_Durrendon -- however, the talk page does not cite where Elio said this.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:35, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
Battle Infobox
Hi! As you've noticed, whenever I edit a battle infobox the name of the battle disappears from the template. You corrected that on the War on Conquest page, but I just edited the Last Storm page and the same thing happened. How do I correct that? Thanks! Ravenclaw999 (talk) 19:32, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Guest cast page
Regarding it's hasty deletion; Are you serious? It had legitimate information, and whilst I concede it wasn't as neat as other pages, it was a few short edits away from being fine. Can you explain your decision further?
- I agreed with the decision to delete it. We are overburdened and understaffed, barely keeping up with new information from Season 3. We don't need the distraction now of...needlessly creating a chart of Guest Cast appearances. I mean...to what purpose is that? It's like memorizing baseball statistics. We don't need accurate numerical lists of how many episodes each cast member appeared in; we need prose paragraphs in character biographies describing what they actually did in those articles. Otherwise it's just a glorified IMDB cast list. Theoretically, one might not even have watched the damned episode to create such a list, just looked at the credits.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 12:45, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
My Wikia App
Hello. My name is Nic and I'm from the Community Development Team. As you may or may not have heard, we recently released an application called My Wikia. We are hoping to bring this app to the attention of more people and for this reason could use some cooperation with this Wiki. We are hoping that you will allow us to display this Template in the upper-right hand column on your wiki. If you are fine with us displaying this, please let me know. Thanks. - Wagnike2 (talk) 14:24, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean with the last message. What subtitles did I alter? I've read the books. Can you please explain so I can understand and not make the same mistake (if I made one?) --Mesmermann (talk) 18:03, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I can't remember that, i'm sorry for that. Yes, i know the event. I'm teasing my friends about something big is gonna happend soon. I can't wait to get the reactions from them. But i've tight lips--Mesmermann (talk) 12:01, May 9, 2013 (UTC)
I checked another 2 or 3 major character articles to make sure before editing but in any case all of the pages on here have 1 main quote at the top of the page before the character bio, so what is wrong? I made sure to change the episode link the quote in Edmure Tully's page too. Celtic-Oranje
Quick question: How would one use another name / appositive for a character (such as "Khaleesi" or "Red woman") and still have it link back to that character's page on the wiki?
Back from Britain
I'm back from my week-long trip to Britain. I hope things haven't gotten too out of hand. I barely managed to watch episodes 6 and 7 before I left, but not compose summaries for them; now I need to watch episode 8. I'll cleanup what I can. Amazing that new users come on here and yell about "why isn't the Jorah Mormont page properly categorized?!" when 1 - we don't have basic summaries written for some episodes or main character pages need to be updated, and 2 - anyone can add categories to a page, and it actually took longer to complain than to do it themselves. Well, I'm back, so it's time to start cracking heads. We have little time to prepare for episode 9, probably the biggest night this wiki will ever experience. I hope all of the locked pages will hold.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:54, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering if it might be an idea to put up some level of protection on the Season 4 page. I noticed a couple of days ago that someone had added a Stoneheart reference, which could very likely be added again with upcoming events. Just an idea.Rachel P 06:31, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Please stop reverting my edits without an explanation
Hey! Could you please stop reverting my edits to the Daenerys Targaryen page? I've tried adding a better infobox photo several times, but you keep reverting my edits. The photo that is now on Dany's page is lacking in quality, which is why I'm trying to add a better one, as well as one that is from a more recent episode. What am I doing wrong? It seems silly to stop my work for no reason. Lionheartedcat (talk) 22:04, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Lets just keep the infobox image the way it is. With Dany in the blue cloak. It's an HBO promo image and very recent. I don't particularly like arguing and back and forth when it comes to infobox images. Let's just put the other image in her gallery page. QueenBuffy 22:15, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually I like the one Gonzalo updated it with. It's also part of a promo image and it's a closer image of her face. :) QueenBuffy 22:18, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- They are both promo photos from HBO, all episode stills are. And the one I was trying to add from 3x09 is more recent, and a closer image of her face, so I don't understand your reasons. But you are the mods here, and it's your wiki, so if you don't like it, of course I'll listen to you. I was just trying to improve the page. Please remember to leave an explanation when you revert an edit though :) Lionheartedcat (talk) 22:26, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
You were given reasons in the edit summaries. Stop putting in new images just because they are the most recent. We're going for "most iconic" for the current season as a whole. No, we don't need one zoomed-in on her face, that's too close. An image should show some of a character's costume as well. The last version you wanted to add was too dark, from a night scene, and was such a closely cropped headshot that we couldn't see her costume well.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:43, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- I added recent images because that's what's standard. I haven't seen any rules on this wiki that says otherwise, which is why I didn't understand why you reverted my edits. I've seen screencaps used as infobox photos that are not iconic at all, and are zoomed in on their faces as well. I think you've got me confused with someone else. What night scene? The latest photo I tried to add was a light photo from 3x09, and was not at all closely cropped. I'll stop updating infobox photos from now on, as I'm afraid I'll do something wrong again. Lionheartedcat (talk) 22:54, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- You do a good job Lionhearted, I'm not sure which is the pic that was originally there now. And yes, I agree it usually is very standard to add the most recent/updated image to a character. Can you send me to my talk page which image you were trying to post to the infobox? QueenBuffy 23:15, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Brackets on names
I see. Though it says nothing about that in the guidelines (at least not that I noticed). Also, it is not an obvious indication of a character being dead at all, especially since this wiki is aimed at the viewers of the show and not the readers of the books. But I'll keep this detail in mind if I happen to come across other stuff in articles that (to me) looks like an editing blunder.--Abonbon 14:57, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
typo will will on season 4 front page
Hi Gonzalo84, Susan Ae here. Are you aware that on the front page, written for season 4, there is a typo that is: will will. I don't see any way to remove it with the editor. Of course it needs to be fixed!! I'm mostly a proofreader around here! Susan Ae (talk) 01:35, June 11, 2013 (UTC)
I suspected that Pierre Sund might be CestWhat, but there's records of him editing on True Blood Wiki over a year ago, so I guess that's not another sockpuppet. Sppook, on the other hand, is displaying several classic signs of CestWhat: 1- No prior record of editing on other wikis, 2 - Editing family tree templates and navboxes, and 3 - Making certain needless redirects like "Lady Barbary Ryswell", including the "Lady" title. I'm going to ban Sppook, unless proven otherwise.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:34, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
Family tree updates
I'm trying to update the family trees, and I've loosely figured out how (after screwing around with some, or reverse-engineering them from other similar but pre-existing trees). The reason I was encouraged to do this is when I tried to explain to a friend who the Martells were, and I said "you know, Myrcella got engaged to their youngest son" but she didn't remember that had happened back in early season 2.
The TV show hasn't introduced as many families and extended members, so that helps. In which case, family trees which need updating include:
- House Lannister - I added Trystane Martell, linking him to Myrcella with the dashed line we use for betrothal/romantic links. I'm also adding Margaery Tyrell next to Joffrey. I need to find pictures for Myrcella and Tommen, probably from "What is Dead May Never Die".
- Joanna and Steffon Lannister - these are established characters in the TV show even if their father is not yet; however I don't want the main Lannister tree to get cluttered (it is already very full) - so I think we should do what AWOIAF does, which is make a separate template which only appears on Joanna and Steffon's pages.
- I want to add Ygritte to the House Stark template with a dotted romantic link to Jon, on the grounds that 1 - it is a major relationship in the show, and 2 - while not stated in the TV show, according to wildling custom, Jon is technically married to Ygritte.
- House Tyrell - Bryan Cogman has officially established that Margaery is actually older than Loras in the TV version, due to the actress' age, though fundamentally in such a patriarchal society this doesn't affect things that much (either way Margaery is behind any brothers in line of succession). So I'm simply going to flip the order of Margaery and Loras.
- House Karstark - slightly more complicated in that I think the TV show renamed one son who was "Eddard" in the books so viewers wouldn't get confused; not sure if youngest brother appeared yet. Either way, good to get started on that.
- House Baratheon - has become badly cluttered, one of the more challenging ones to fix up. I was always opposed to adding three separate entries for Stannis' stillborn sons when a single box would have sufficed. But more importantly, the manner of handling Robert's bastard children isn't working - it needlessly forces Cersei's children down a full row, so only Robert's bastards appear on the second row. It's a drastic waste of space.
- House Frey - wow...where to even start? The difficulty is compounded by the fact that not all of the Freys have been established within the TV series. I'll put this last on the list as it will be very difficult.
- I think I'm going to throw together a small family tree for Hodor and Old Nan if I have the time.
- How should we handle a family tree for House Florent? They're a large family but not all members have been established, but even in a simplified version we weren't provided with the names of Selyse' parents in TV continuity. We'd really only need to show that Alester and Ryam and Rylene are siblings, that Melessa is daughter of Alester, while Selyse and Imry are children of Ryam. I'll mock up a simplified TV version to test this out.
- I think we should just avoid making a placeholder House Martell tree given that so few members have been identified in the TV series so far, and because in just a few weeks we'll get casting information which will confirm them.
--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:58, June 14, 2013 (UTC)
Given how much space it took up relative to its usefulness, I've removed Mhaegen and Barra from the Baratheon family tree; it introduced an entire second tier and just made more problems than it was worth; my solution will be to make a separate family tree for "Robert Baratheon's bastards", much as there are sub-trees for House Lannister. This doesn't outright "remove" Mhaegen and Barra, actually, as they are included under the umbrella terms "various women" and "various bastards"--The Dragon Demands (talk) 00:34, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

We need to be more active in dealing with CestWhat. First, I don't know how to contact Wikia to get her account removed on all wikis everywhere, but it is absurd that her account name "CestWhat" isn't banned on all wikis, such as the Downton Abbey Wiki.
She seems obsessed with screwing with our templates; a problem is that even the "advanced recent changes" tab doesn't display actual changes to templates.
The only other discouragement I have is to systematically delete anything she's touched, even productive things, to discourage her from coming back here. We can't keep letting this problem fester, we need professional help from Wikia to get a wide-range IP address block. We have to show CestWhat that we have her by the balls. Then we break the balls.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 06:38, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been discharged from the hospital after a car crash on an interstate through Las Vegas.
Hospital spokeswoman Karen Gordon confirms the senator left less than three hours after the crash that happened about 1:10 p.m. Friday.
Officials from the Nevada senator's office say Reid suffered rib and hip contusions in the crash, and was taken to the hospital by his security detail as a precaution.
Reid officials say other members of the senator's security detail and a staffer had minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Officials say Reid was wearing a seatbelt at the time.
Troopers say six vehicles were involved in the apparent chain reaction rear-end crash, including two police vehicles, two Capitol Police vehicles and two civilian vehicles.

I love a good pump. But deciding which style – and complementary shape – will complete my look from head to toe? Easier said than done. The shape that you select adds personality to any outfit, and here at Rue we always try to put our best foot forward, so choosing a pointed-toe or round-toe pump is no simple task. Below, a guide to both.
The Pointed Toe
The pointed toe is more fashionable than practical, but we all know that good girls finish last. Command respect and exude confidence in the office by pairing with a pencil skirt. For a night on the town, I like to balance the look of my modern leather pants with this classic style.
This look works especially well with a colorful cap-toe. The splash of color serves almost as an accessory, adding unexpected pop. For those with larger feet, this trend can still work. Just opt for a flared jean and remember to leave some room in the toe – going smaller is not a comfortable experience.
The Round Toe
Also known as the almond-shaped toe, this style conveys dependability. If comfort is your main priority, the rounded toe that typically adorns the platform stiletto will bring you to new heights. Paired with a trusty sheath dress or casual pant, this shoe rounds out your look.
There are really no rules for the round toe, as this is the most classic of styles. This shape is flattering for larger feet, making them appear much more compact. Just be careful with loose-fitting slacks – the toe can get lost when your pant leg is too baggy. Skinny jeans or fitted pants – and, of course, skirts – are the best way to go.

As our meteorologists have been tracking Hurricane Arthur, we have been following up on damage reports coming into our newsroom from emergency crews and viewers alike.
Two families were displaced in Carteret County when a tree fell on their duplex in Beaufort. No injuries were reported.
Two children and two adults were forced to a Red Cross shelter once their home was hit in Duplin County. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down outside of Rose Hill near Rosemary Road and U.S. 117. In all, three homes were damaged but no one was hurt.
In Jones County, emergency crews believe a tornado or straight-line winds took out a hay storage building along the 400-block of Alonza Mill Road near Highway 41 West. Emergency Management Director Eric Merritt said three other buildings on that block also had significant damage. No one was hurt in that area.
While Beaufort County saw some water rising, firefighters from the Chocowinity Fire Department said they were called to a home on Whichards Beach Road around 9 p.m. Thursday night. Crews arrived to find smoke inside the house. They determined it had been struck by lightning, but damages were minor.
One viewer in Sea Level in Carteret County reported their garage door was seemingly sucked out at its center, deforming the metal door.
Viewers in Hubert in Onslow County reported downed trees, while firefighters in the area said they had not been called out for any rescues or tree issues overnight into early Friday morning.
We are continuing to monitor damages as Hurricane Arthur sweeps over the Outer Banks and Crystal Coast.

One of the most distinctive tenets of the Founder Institute is the unique application process, which, as many of you may know, includes an hour-long aptitude test. A bit unconventional compared to our peers, the test aims to measure the success of potential and current participants of the Institute.
Our unique approach sparked the curiosity of Forbes writer J.J. Colao, who recently wrote an article entitled "Can An Hour-Long Aptitude Test Predict Startup Home Runs? Adeo Ressi Thinks So". Colao interviewed the Founder Institute's CEO, Adeo Ressi regarding the institute and the test, digging to the premise behind why it is an integral part of enrollment.
The basic premise of the test was originally to eliminate admissions bias - the fact that venture firms funded mostly 20-something white male Ivy League grads annoyed Ressi, hence he sought to develop a means of introducing diversity to the startup ecosystem. With over two years in use and over ten thousand test results measured, the Founder Institute and the test's developer have determined that "entrepreneurs have more in common with artists than they do with managers" and don't always score highly on IQ or conscientiousness. A somewhat surprising find that indicates successful entrepreneurs lean more towards open mindedness, "a Big Five [personality] trait associated with curiosity, creativity and a penchant for novelty."
Any practice that is viewed as out of the ordinary naturally evokes some amount of skepticism, however, so far the the test has proven to be highly successful, and a great asset for predicting entrepreneurial success. To learn more about the aptitude test read the full article on Forbes here. The article will also appear in the December 10th print issue of Forbes Magazine.

(3) the total amount of such article which (during the twelve months ended on the last day of the month preceding the month in which occurs the date of the beginning of the investigation) was entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, in the United States for consumption. During the course of the investigation the Commission shall hold a public hearing, of which reasonable public notice shall be given and at which parties interested shall be afforded reasonable opportunity to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard.

Any dog or cat house is only as good as its door. No matter what siding, roofing, insulation or flooring materials are utilized, the doorway has to protect the inside of the house from the outside elements.
Our standard .080 vinyl heavy duty flap door comes with every house but due to varying climate conditions in different geographical areas of our nation, we offer an optional upgrade door system to seal the living compartment more effectively. Not to mention the number of heated cat houses sold, we offer an optional upgrade door system to seal the living compartment more effectively. Blythe Wood Works has been designing and manufacturing dog and cat houses for over 20 years. In the past, we have sold different brands of "upgraded pet doors" but even though they were better than the standard vinyl flap system, some had shortfalls - they didn't seal efficiently, they had an unnecessary lock system, some had slots cut in the bottom frame that leaked when it rained and some simply cost too much.
After comparing all the different pet door manufacturers and extensively comparing warrantees, air infiltration factors, cold and warm air infusion, pet safety, and appearance, Freedom Pet Pass Door Company has designed an upgrade pet door specifically for dog and cat houses that surpasses every other door in the market place, bar none!!! It is called Seal Safe, and it is priced better than any competitive door available anywhere. The sealing system are magnets calibrated for the size of the door. There are no springs or pins that can break and no nylon pile weather stripping that can be chewed by your pet or worn down. If you live in an area where the winters are excessively cold, or the wind gusts and blowing rain or snow are a factor, or if you are purchasing an electric dog or cat house heater, or one of your Dog Aire ™ air conditioners, the "Green Technology" of the Seal Safe door will minimize your carbon foot print by lowering the amount of electricity used to cool your pet's house and this door will simply seal off the door opening better than any other brand of door available.
The flap is a thermal plastic polyester scrim fabric with a poly carbonate clear window for light and a poly carbonate chew guard on the bottom. The warranty is one full year for product defects. Best of all, when you upgrade to a Seal Safe door, your dog or cat house arrives with the door already installed, saving you the time and trouble of putting it in yourself. You can install this door yourself should you already have a Blythe Wood Works pet house. Like all Blythe Wood Works cedar dog and cat houses, Seal Safe doors are made in the USA.
