Character images
A quick note: we have relatively specific requirements for character images in infoboxes: they're all laid out in my blog on the subject. In short, applicable photos must be centered around the character (full-body) but cropped to a 3:5 aspect ratio (such as 648×1080), and they have to be in the PNG file format (this last rule applies to all in-game images, wherever possible). If you're playing on Steam you can change your settings to save an uncompressed (PNG) screenshot as well as the less desirable compressed (JPG) version. We're a little looser when it comes to supplementary character images.

You don't need to cite yourself as the author when putting down all the licensing data either, but thank for you at least using the Information template. Many uploaders seem to forget about it. I have some pre-filled examples of the template here, if you want to use them. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:33, November 20, 2017 (UTC)

Dialogue
I don't really know how to organize it in a way that would be displayed at its most optimum. If you feel you can organize it in a better way start with out me and I'll follow your example when I have the time.(Sports72Xtrm (talk) 20:03, November 25, 2017 (UTC))


 * Yeah that's clear. But I'm busy at the moment. I'll contribute when I have the time.(Sports72Xtrm (talk) 20:19, November 25, 2017 (UTC))


 * It may or may not be a good idea to eventually put most/all such dialogue in collapsible tables. Rim and I are planning on putting out an official policy proposal on dialogue at some point (hopefully before the end of the year, haha) which should codify these formatting practices. —Atvelonis (talk) 20:03, November 28, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Card Art
Hello, I am using "AssetBundleExtractor" for that. It needs to check every image though, because images are not named after the card, just numbers. --Rupuzioks (talk) 17:24, November 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, I will upload here too, but I think it is not in the assets yet, unless you pre-order it. So it might be only available after official launch. --Rupuzioks (talk) 17:50, November 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * Here it is Phalanx Exemplar. --Rupuzioks (talk) 18:02, November 29, 2017 (UTC)

Moot Reminder
Hey Jauffre, wanted to pop by and mention the moot is today, since I mentioned reminding you last month. Currently the only thing proposed is Atvelonis' idea of changing ImageImprove, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to come to the moot. See you around the wiki – The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 06:15, December 2, 2017 (UTC)


 * The next one is scheduled for Saturday, January 6th (2018!) at 4:00 PM EST if you think you can make it then instead. —Atvelonis (talk) 23:34, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Ulfric Stormcloak (general) page
Sure, the lore page can focus largely on his part in the Great War, training with the Greybeards, etc. If you're going to cut out any of the background info on the Skyrim page, I'd personally suggest you simply condense it somewhat rather than removing it entirely, because it's still relevant to his actions and characterization in Skyrim. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:25, December 3, 2017 (UTC)

Dragonborn Emperor
Hey Jauffre,

I wanted to stop by to ask you to please try not to be as aggressive with your thread messages, mainly Thread:250125. Telling a user to "grow a pair" and then telling a user to act mature afterwards doesn't set a very high standard. As with the same problem you've had in the past, you should always be careful as to how another user is going to take your message. Making aggressive and passive-aggressive comments towards users does not help the discussion. You guys are more than welcome to continue the discussion, just please keep it more civil; if the problems continue, try to just avoid contacting each other. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to message me back. – The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 04:37, December 24, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Season Unending
Sorry for the late response. I actually haven't ever done Season Unending, so I'm not that familiar with the structure of the dialogue in it. What sort of format do you have in mind right now? —Atvelonis (talk) 18:59, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * For the NPC articles, you could use different dialogue boxes for each alignment: the first for neutral & for if you've joined the Imperials (combined), and the second for if you've joined the Stormcloaks. From there, you could organize each diabox by the individual demands. Something like this, perhaps:


 * {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" width="100%" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide"

!Season Unending If the Dragonborn is neutral or has sided with the Imperials:
 * Elenwen stays/leaves
 * Stormcloaks receive The Reach
 * Imperials receive The Rift, The Pale, or Winterhold
 * Further hold changes
 * Arngier's summary

If the Dragonborn has sided with the Stormcloaks:
 * Elenwen stays/leaves
 * Imperials receive The Rift
 * Stormcloaks receive The Reach, Hjaalmarch, or Falkreath
 * Further hold changes
 * Arngier's summary
 * }


 * My impression is that the neutral/Imperial dialogue is pretty similar, so you could just insert the occasional neutral-only options in bullets or Hide or something when they come up. I don't understand how the scoring system works, but the quest article needs an explanation for that which isn't influenced by other sites, of course.


 * For the quest article, since it's designed chronologically, you could format the dialogue based on the page's existing headers: based on the order of events, with faction choices described within those headers. I don't think this is necessary for the character articles since the chronology for them isn't as important (not a walkthrough). —Atvelonis (talk) 22:49, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Experiment?
What exactly is it you want me to elaborate on? The posts on the /d by FANDOM staff are part of some experiment they're running, although Atv isn't allowed to tell us very much.

The Supreme Argonian (talk) 01:40, December 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh, Atv told us a while ago. It's happening on a number of wikis.


 * The Supreme Argonian (talk) 01:51, December 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * For the record, I'm not breaking any NDAs here. I just said that it was a test (info which had already been shared elsewhere) that would probably go on for several months, as most tests tend to. No details. —Atvelonis (talk) 03:18, December 29, 2017 (UTC)

Orsimer
I'm not going to argue with you about the beastfolk issue, but I notice that you tagged the blockquote at the top of the Orsimer page with cite a while back. I looked through the page history, and apparently that quote was added in July 2012 by Lnknprkchic. I think the previous blockquote was from their in-game description from Oblivion, but I have absolutely no idea where he got the new quote. It would be best to replace it with something verifiable for sure. —Atvelonis (talk) 18:47, December 30, 2017 (UTC)
