Could you please visit [[Talk:Alliance–Horde War#Malfurion is not an Alliance commander|Talk:Alliance–Horde War]] and discuss. I really think he doesn't fit there, as he is more neutral as leader of Cenarion Circle (just like the 4 Horde commanders who simply do not take part in the war eventhough they're in the Horde).

Sorry if my editing [[Joren Ironstock]], an inconsequential NPC tucked away in the Coldridge Valley of Dun Morogh was a bother to you, but like I said, I'm new here and was experimenting on expanding stub pages. I have to say however that the new page looks much better than the old page, and again I apologize for using the boilerplate provided by the community for use to spruce pages up to spruce a page up. You are correct, the info was not wrong, but I thought adding the coordinates to the NPCs location, some quotes, and some notes would be nice. So I did. Using the boilerplate. And therefore reorganizing the info. ''Sincerest'' apologies. [[User:Thewalrus|Thewalrus]] ([[User talk:Thewalrus|talk]]) 02:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Well, the boilerplate is primarily there for two things: as an example of how a page should look, and to provide a starting point for a new page. If you're updating an existing one, you can just copy over the individual sections that need to be added; otherwise it makes a bit of a mess of the edit history, and can result in a bunch of extra leftover stuff that just needs to be removed. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul#top|talk]]) 03:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC) |

Revision as of 01:13, 3 August 2011
Robert "Bobby" Kotick is the CEO and President of Activision Blizzard.
Kotick and a partner acquired a 25% stake in Activision in 1990. He became CEO shortly thereafter and continued in this capacity after the merger with Blizzard Entertainment.
Known for his strategy of focusing independent developers as well as intellectual properties that can produce multiple sequels, Kotick is often the target of criticism within the WoW community when there is a perceived flaw in Blizzard's strategy. The exact extent to which he is to blame for any shortcomings (real or perceived) is the subject of many max-length forum threads, though in the case of the proposal to associate real names with forum posts as part of the Real ID scheme, the idea is known to have at least been endorsed by Kotick.
