Not a game guide

Reads like a game guide (see WP:GAMEGUIDE). Particularaly the "Please note Force Archers aren't this""Please note warriors are this." I think all the weapon categories should be deleted, but I'm not entirely sure. Rebuttal (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:53 Hit Combo Death.jpg

Image:53 Hit Combo Death.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Use of Citations, Pronounciation & Accuracy Disputed

Citations: I've noticed that the citations and references list at the bottom. The section on the character classes for example, comes from the CO website, and I believe it is an almost exact (verbatim) copy (I can't access the site from work, so I can't verify this), but this article makes no reference to the CO site(s), other than the external links. Citation needed on this section, and on other sections as appropriate.

Pronounciation: I disagree with the "kay-ble" pronounciation mentioned on this article. If you download the videos from the site, I think it is more a "kah-ble" (car-ble), rather than "kay-ble" (kay-ble sounds more like "cable")

EDIT: This has been corrected by another user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kigurumi Loopy (talk • contribs) 07:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Accuracy: There are sections where the accuracy of the statements are not as they should be. These are:

• PK: PKs do not start automatically, although there is the option on some servers. These are highlighted in a different colour on the server list. Players also have the option of auto-refusing PK/PvP requests. PK Penalty status, I understand (but cannot confirm), that character's names will be in a different colour if this happens, so others can PK them without penalty.
• Character Classes: Citation required as mentioned above
• Battle Mode: You gain the ability to use Battle Mode 1 and Battle Aura at the same time at lvl 40 (it takes 2 SP bars)

I will make changes within a week to address the above if there are no objections.

Re: Use of Citations, Pronounciation & Accuracy Disputed

I have made the changes mentioned above. Sections which I feel need citations, I have highlighted with ()

Any disputed, please feel free to put them here.

Language Violations?

Has anyone noticed the that every time someone swears or uses words like "cocky" or "prices"? The game seems to cover it up with "XXXX" and is overly obsessive with bleeping out any bad language. Its very annoying because if you try to have a decent conversation with anyone in-game the game seems to just randomly bleep out some phrases/works in your text and I cant seem to come up with any other words that I want to replace them with at the time i am talking to the person in front of me. Also people can seem to spam the same text over and over again just by changing the font or color of the text that has been sent previously.

Kill Stealing

"KSing" Is very annoying. Say you're doing a quest in witch you have to kill Bugzards for Red Tears in order to complete your quest but some warrior for say keeps killing all the monsters you worked so hard to get down to low hp and he just keeps killing them and taking your Red Tears that an any other items that get dropped by another players monster you cannot pick up for a certain amount of time. --Koasaki (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Not a Forum

This page is not a forum for discussion on the article's subject. If you need to make comments on the game, please make your comments on the relevant website for the version of the game you are playing.

Major Revert

Hi, I reverted this page by several edits (to Kigurumi Loopy's latest edit) to remove vandalism that subsequent editors had failed to notice. Comparing the latest (reverted) version and the version before it reveals that the only major change made (besides the vandalism) was the removal of the line, "pronouced as kah-ball (From the Korean pronunciation)." I suppose I'll leave it alone as to avoid getting my IP address logged into the history a third time.  :) --75.36.144.223 (talk) 04:55, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Two vandalism attacks within two days? Seems like we are getting attention, but not the type we were hoping for.

Many thanks to those of you who have been quick off the mark and reverting the vandalisms.

Screen Shots

I'm Thinking of adding Screen shots or pictures from the Cabal File Folder on my computer to the site if someone can tell me how. I also want to know if anyone approves of adding Screen shots to this article for things such as the Combo Meter or the Battle Mode sequence. --Koasaki (talk) 12:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

You can use your sandbox to experiment with Wiki code. If you want to add screenshots, I see no problem (obviously, make sure you clearly specify reason and copyrights on the file once you upload it.) Also, take a look at the other articles, to see how that embed their images. --Kigurumi Loopy (talk) 12:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok thanks Kigurumi I'll try to get those pics in by monday. I dont think the copyright will be an issue since nobody veiws pics from the Cabal File Folder even thouhg they are on there. --Koasaki (talk) 15:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Is this any good?

Image text removed by Kigurumi Loopy (talk) 12:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

This the seventh image on the Cabal File Folder on my computer Let me know if you want me to add more images from the folder. I might have to crop the images because as you can see they are very, very big. --Koasaki (talk) 11:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Do it this way:

<!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:BG 7.jpg|thumb|Caption]] -->

It creates a thumbnail that doesn't fill the page. You can also create a caption for the image. You might also want to take a look at the Cheatsheet, and experiment using your sandbox. --Kigurumi Loopy (talk) 12:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I'm getting the hang of it but there are still a lot of pictures on the Cabal File Folder that can be added to the site. --Koasaki (talk) 11:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

The question you need to ask yourself is relevance -- are the pictures relevant to the article? If the picture is a screen shot of, say, the Battle Aura mode, then yes, it's relevant, and should be included. If it doesn't provide any major insight into the article, then it's probably better off not being included. If you do have any screenshots such as that, then it would be welcome. --Kigurumi Loopy (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

OK then I guess I will be better off taking screen shots of key things that fit in the article other than the images that this folder have given me. So this weekend I will get screen shots of say battle auras or character classes and have them to you on Monday. --Koasaki (talk) 11:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Tidy-Up

I have cut down and moved things around on the article -- putting the PK/PvP after the Classes section, removed the breakdown of the Weapons and Armor, and added a section on the War functionality.

If any disputes this change, by all means roll it back, but please discuss it here first.

Archiving

I have setup some archiving, which should hopefully be automatic. I've setup for any threads with no activity for two weeks to be archived. If anyone disagrees, please mention it here, or just comment out the archive box up top.
