Random Discoveries in FFXI Wiki accuracy

[Alhanelem]

Nanashi14 reverted all his edits, so that's fine with me. The second thing is just kind of an amusing proof that information from BG propagates through both wikis, even if the information is totally unverified.

It also propogates in the other direction from every other site. You ARE kidding yourself if you don't believe that most of the original information on BGwiki was pulled straight from FFXIclopedia in its earlier days. Even many of our original templates were ripped and slightly modified. That doesn't bother me, as long as you don't try to pretend that it's only happened to BGWiki.

I will give attention to cases brought to me, but I can't just ban people left and right for various reasons. Not everyone is purposely trying to rip off other sites- many do not realize that if they didn't find something themselves they should be sourcing their information. That doesn't make it okay, of course, but it also means I shouldn't just lay down the banhammer casually.

You really should be giving us/me credit for engaging with you on issues like this. I can tell you that Zam probabyl wouldn't give two farts where the information comes from.

I thanked you after you said you'd address it, and then I thanked you when you did something in the post I linked.

Also, I think ZAM probably would do something, because the major editor is on my server and a nice guy. However, there have been 51 wiki edits in the last month so it's probably a non-issue.

That was really directed at others, not you.

The "scandal" was the product of falsefied emails and attacks by BlueGartr members. Take your lies and nonsense somewhere else.

It's going to lead to a successful project or a miserable failiure, but either way, they have no intention of accepting any donations or money from the community as a result of the lies and bull they were put through. The site will be paid for entirely from their own pockets and unintrusive ads as with any other internet site.

More proof that you're the kind of person that unfavorable adjectives are used to describe, for which I will not say more other than the internet also makes up lies and hoaxes.

It's not the only accurate one, nor is it any more accurate than any other information source for the game on the internet. You are under the illusion that this is true simply because BG is the official FFXI elitist community.

More lies. Of course, it's human nature to believe the worst. A good lie is easier to believe than the truth. What else would you expect from a thread whose sole purpose is to defame the wiki communities that put hours and hours of hard work into providing a resource for FFXI's players?

Now for you'r deity's sake, stop using the official forums as a vheilce for your propoganda and go back to BG and your wiki if you love it so much. Have the maturity to just choose the resource you prefer instead of coming here to slander the other communities.

Why do you speak when you have no idea what you're talking about?

Why do you speak when you have no idea what you're talking about?

Because I DO have an idea what I'm talking about.

Why do you speak when you have no idea what you're talking about?

Why do YOU speak in ignorance?

Post is now closed. This was meant to be a FOR FUN post about the little things that you experience in-game due to lack of/incomplete/incorrect information on FFXI wiki, not a brat/hate fest against BG, GamerEscape or anyone/anything else. Post derailed fast into a childish free for all.
