Talk:Skaven (Warhammer)

message: This was linked to from the species "Yeerk" from the animorphs series where it was supposed to go to a different page, if someone could make a disambiguation that'd be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.85.43 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 11 October 2005
: That makes no sense at all. The two aren't remotely related. Therefore, a disambiguation page cannot be created; it's impossible to mistake one for the other, so there's no disambiguation to be done! Adam Marx Squared 09:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I can't find any publication details for Warpspawn.  Is it fan fiction?  What Warhammer material has Roysten Crow written?  Thanks, 222.154.24.144 11:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm going to follow all the Warahmmer/Warhammer40k projects and articles that I can to establish the fact that no single race in either of these are "bad guys" or "good guys". 
The word "evil" is a very strong word, and should not be used for anything or anyone. Certain characters and required places, but not to refer to an entire faction/race. 
It's much better to say "nobody is a badguy or goodguy" than "everyone is a badguy in some way" anyway. The creators of the Games Workshop games did an excellent job in making balances between armies both in gameplay and storyline. Colonel Marksman 17:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed a large amount of content that appears to have been copied from here (an index page, content was taken from many pages). There is no indication that permission to use the content was granted on this talk page or in the edit summary. I suspect that it was copied from there instead of the other way around because the other website gives the source, the "Book of the Rat". If the content came from that book and it has not been released into the public domain or the GFDL, we cannot use it. Here is the edit that the text was added in. -- Kjkolb 11:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Skaven army book.jpg

message: Hello,
I'm a fan of the early 90's Demoscene, and entered a WP search for "Skaven," aka Peter Hajba, a prominent member of the group Future Crew (both of which have nice valid WP entries) but was immediately brought to the WarHammer-related page for the Skaven race.  Skaven's musical influence lives on today, as he is a music developer for various game companies, including PopCap (Bejeweled, etc..) and other cherished DOS games whose names I cannot remember at the moment.
Rather than add it myself and annoying anyone, I would like to suggest adding a disambiguation page to allow users to go to the proper page they're searching for, as I didn't remember the real name of the Demoscene 'Skaven' (Peter Hajba) until I did a subsequent Google search.

message: Hy there. IMHO the article Skaven sign should be merged into this article and then deleted asap. Thanks. Flamarande (talk) 18:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

message: In the Clan Skyre section I found this "Their engineers are used to explain Skaven warmachines: the Ratling Gun (a warpstone-based Gatling gun with an obvious pun on rat)...".  That is obvious word play but it is not a pun.  A pun is only so when a homonym is used, changing the word completely does not qualify.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.240.237.172 (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
