This past Monday, June 23, The WotLK Information Wiki relaunched on a new web host after having been pulled down by a Cease and Desist order from Blizzard.
Darkside, one of the admins for the WotLK Information Wiki, gave an interview to Medros over at All Things Azeroth to explain what happened.
The interview was conducted as part of Medros' podcast Episode 53.
Some highlights from the interview include:

Most of the information that the alpha wiki provides is a result of file and image extraction from Blizzard's publically-available alpha client.
The alpha client files contain all the information on the spells, creatures and environments to be tested and new things are added or subtracted each time the alpha is patched.
The alpha wiki folks set up a ""sandbox"" where they could fly through the new locations and spawn creatures for screenshots.
A small portion of the WotLK info -- some screenshots, for example -- has come from Blizzard employees under non-disclosure agreements the identities of whom the alpha wiki admins protect.
Blizzard, Vivendi, and Activision IP addresses had visited the wiki frequently since it began.

The Cease and Desist order from Blizzard arrived last Friday, June 20.
Over the weekend the WotLK wiki admins tried several ways to appease the lawyers and eventually settled on moving to a new web host.
The wiki's readership is approximately 200,000 page views per day.
Go to All Things Azeroth to hear the rest of the interview.
Make sure you listen to the first few minutes of the podcast to hear a very humorous and well-sung parody of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues called Pugging Kara Blues.

Resto4Life interviews Druid artist Andrige

I could have sworn that we interviewed Andrige here on WoW Insider, but I can't seem to find it in the archives, so I guess Resto4Life beat us to it.
Phaelia has posted an interview with the artist (and machinimist) behind some of the best WoW fan art out there, and to the surprise of no one I'm sure, he seems like a fun, down to earth kind of guy.

He talks about his fascination with both the Horde and Druids, why he loves Feral, and what he's been up to lately -- he's planning to do a piece of the Night Elf bear and Tauren cat fighting each other, which should be awesome.

wow gold He's also awaiting the art change in Wrath of the Lich King -- like a lot of players, he's tired of the sci fi and can't wait to get back into the old sword and sorcery style.
He wouldn't turn down a job at Blizzard (who would.
), but he humbly says that he's got a lot of work to do before he steps up to that level.

wow gold Good for him.
Finally, he shares some good advice about how to make machinima (the script for his film was actually written by a few people on IRC), and a few good ideas about Druid forms.
A ""Runic Wolf"" -- I love it.
"
"Though this is the merest shred of a rumor, it's a nice enough idea that I think it's worth a post anyway.
