View source for Talk:GvE Revolution 2007: Uprising

Could someone add something to the page explaining what "GvE Revolution 2007: Uprising" means? Why the name was picked? In particular, what does "GvE" mean? Thanks. ^^ -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 21:25, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

o,o the flaw in that plan, is someone would have to know what the title is suppose to mean.. though, the GvE should be good vs evil.. but the rest.. who knows. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 22:12, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

== revisions and future of this page ==

Wow, major revisions! Overall the changes are good, especially the art added.  However there are a few things that aren't clear to me.  

"Due to wiki policy, this page may need to be cleaned up or removed."  What do I need to know about Wiki policies?

Why was the list of participating SGs in the Showcase cut?  The history of who fought who is actually pretty important to PVP SGs.  I was thinking of adding winners from the Lethal Lottery, but won't bother if it's just gonna end up on the cutting room floor. --[[User:Colonel Jasmine|Colonel Jasmine]] 07:19, 23 June 2007 (EDT)


:o.o wiki policy is that we try and stick to official thingies and not include in things like an individuals characters and sgs. >< I have to admit though, looking around I can't see where it says not to.. we really should have a "what does and doesn't belong" page, but I can't find it myself.. The SGs here are a bit of a grey area honestly. Well, except the "and X sg didn't show", that one would have no reason to be here at all. 

:>.> Right now, I'd say mark the SGs that participated, and any other winners on the talk page till we've sorted this out. Right now there's a thread about this on the Wiki Admin's forum about whether this bit should be on the wiki or not. The PVP committee is an officially recognized player institute, thus belongs as at least a mention. This first event also had a lot of Official backing so will probably be okayed as well. o.o its the X number of events after that are really in question.. (though, I imagine a listing of the events at least will be quite alright on the PVP commities page..)

:o,o I'm sorry to impose on you with this, we'll try and get policy sorted out as soon as possible =^^= --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 03:15, 24 June 2007 (EDT)

===Sleepy's transcript===
o.o this is a copy of the admin channel chat from the event.. there is much more chat thats been recorded, but I figured no one would really care to go through some 300+ pages of chatter to grab anything important.

== policy ==

I'm fine with adhering to the Wiki policy if it can be stated/posted somewhere what it is.  (FYI, from inside the PVP world, the absence of the Freaks was quite significant; just a short while ago they were the reigning kings of 8v8 Arena, the most popular format.) --[[User:Colonel Jasmine|Colonel Jasmine]] 19:56, 24 June 2007 (EDT)

:o,o it might seem significant now, but it probably won't be in a year or two yrs. any idea who General Tsao is? how about Rowdy Roxy or Miran Ren? Back issue 4, these where very important names, but now, they're barely a footnote even though they're game history fairly important. 

: o.o I'll see about getting a guideline article as to what should and shouldn't be in, or where it is if one exists. I can say one thing though, this wiki isn't for the promotion or glorification of player sgs. My own was added once to paragonwiki and summarily removed, I've seen the taxibots removed at least three times. I should mention that the owner is a leader of the taxibots. The idea is to try and avoid the slippery slope on this. In cases where there's a dev or community rep run contest like the first two yrs player's choice awards, we would like the winners of those awards (but not all contenders, once again, my sg doesn't get listed even though it was in the finals). 

: >.> Keep in mind, this part of the policy only applies to normal pages. You can add anything at all (as long as its Work Safe) to your personal user page. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 20:37, 24 June 2007 (EDT)


:: Speaking of this, does anyone have a list of the players choice award winners ? [[User:Catwhoorg|Catwhoorg]] 10:49, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

== the attending SG list ==

This was cut per wiki policy (see above)

Attending SGs were:

* Ars Nemesis
* Justice for All League (JAL)
* Near Death Experience (NDX)
* Velocity
* Whirligig

All but Ars Nemesis were hero teams.  Perennial PVP powerhouse Freaks of Legend were unable to attend.  --[[User:Colonel Jasmine|Colonel Jasmine]] 13:49, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

== current status ==

I'm interested in clearing off the two remaining items on Sleepy's list so we can de-wipify this page.

I have a [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=questions&Number=8598814&Searchpage=1&Main=8582495&Words=+ColJasmine&topic=&Search=true#Post8598814 query] in on the official Player Questions board about the T-shirt winners.  If someone else has the info on the winners please step foward.

I also don't know the upshot of the admin discussion Sleepy mentioned earlier, whether the entire page will need to be nuked.

Anyone? If no response in several days I will move these 2 items here and de-wipify.--[[User:Colonel Jasmine|Colonel Jasmine]] 14:48, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

:>.> well, so far there doesn't seem to be much opinion one way or the other, so we'll keep the page, just need to find a good category(ies) for it to be in. As for t-shirts.. the W00tradio broadcast had them, so w00t might still have the info, if not, try "@Dj Jester" in game. I'll keep looking when I have time to see if I have the info marked down anywhere. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 06:54, 4 July 2007 (EDT)

:: note cut about tshirts from main page : "-T-shirts given out as part of a random name drawing (4 for each side)(see if list of winners is possible to get)"<br /> --[[User:Colonel Jasmine|Colonel Jasmine]] 11:08, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
