The Dainty Sload
Since I saw you around, I thought I'd ask you to check the Dainty Sload. I tried to make things as 3rd person as possible there. The bugs section seems pretty loaded. If you're not able to, I'll try to simplify it when I have time. It looks like there could be some redundancy there.

my page
Hey, i made that dragon priest page- its not about dragon priests, just that particular dragon priest. I had enough info on that particular one, not the entire dov cult. it was not about dov priests.

I didn't think that dragon priest/draugr is really notable to have its own page. The page also did not link to any other pages, which created an orphan page. When creating new pages, please ensure that it is linked up to another page. You can re-create the page again if you wish, but please ensure it is properly linked to another related page. Otherwise, it will have to be deleted again. Thanks. 00:04, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Tone
Thanks! I tried to find another article with that template, but I couldn't find it. I tried to use the next best thing by looking at the templates page.

Re: Just a reminder
Im not adding the image needed template. If i keep the template it also adds the article to the basic "image needed" Category, and since im helping removing articles form there the template is something i have been forced to remove since it keeps the article in the "image needed" category.

Also, did the Wiki log you out a minute or so ago, it kicked me out and i didn't get credit for a few edits, im not sure what happened since that never happened to me before.

happy editing (Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:37, May 5, 2012 (UTC))

I didn't mean that you are adding the template. See your Talk page for what my response was in regards too. Thanks 15:26, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, i understand, thanks for clearing that up.

Vandalism
After performing an edit on a page and clicking Publish a message popped up telling me my previous edit was marked as Vandalism and it said to contact an administrator if it was a mistake. I was working on the Cyrodiil page adding links in under Politics. I'm not sure what I did that was considered wrong. If you could clear things up for me I would appreciate it very much. Thanks ChampionofCyrodiil (talk) 23:14, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check with him.ChampionofCyrodiil (talk) 02:38, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hert
Hey there TombRaiser, I was editing a page (Hert) and when moving some things around I had not noticed I deleted the infobox, I however did have it in a copy format and tried to repaste it on another edit, but the website is not allowing me to post edits, and now I have several notices on my abuse log from attempting to fix my error.

What should I do? CyberDemiGod (talk) 04:00, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned on the Hert's Talk page, the filter thinks you didn't use both spoiler tags. I notice this happens when source mode is used to edit pages with spoiler tags. Try your edit in the Visual Editor. 03:55, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
I didn't notice the reply on the talk page, just got it though, thanks again.

I accidently deleted the wrong template in visual edit, but yeah I did try to save it in source edit. I'll keep that in mind when working with spoiler templates, thanks for the tip!

I'll reapplied my edit using only visual editor and it worked.

Sorry for the trouble :p

CyberDemiGod (talk) 04:05, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's no trouble. Glad it's working for you now. :) 04:15, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Proper names
Hi TombRaiser. Thanks for the heads up. I've been using the race as it's listed in the Construction Set. Do we have a published list of formal names versus informal names that I can refer to so I can be sure to record them correctly in the future? I apologize for being unaware of that change. I find it difficult to be on IRC right now, as I tend to drift off to sleep a lot, and I'm just under half-way through chemo. :-/ GramsJ (talk) 00:42, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Templates
Thanks for letting me know about the templates, ill make sure they are added to there articles.

and since you brought up categories, Should i also work on the "stub" categories? there are times an article will have three or four stubs on it and while this is useful if somebody is badge-hunting its insane to have that many on an article.

Hope all is good Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:21, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

P.S There is no stub category for Skyrim articles

Stub reply
Thanks for explaining the stubs and how they should be handled, it will help alot

Happy editing

Greaves
While Brusef Amelion's Greaves exist, perhaps, as a singular item, the word greaves is the plural of greave, which is a protection for one the lower legs. One uses two greaves to protect both legs; saying "greaves is an armor" is equivalent to saying "my shins is hurting".

ManlikeCrawdad (talk) 01:01, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Haha, okay. I understand what you're saying. The way it read to me was: "This are Brusef Amelion's Greaves" instead of "This is Brusef Amelion's Greaves". Because in the game, you don't receive it separately. 01:12, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Right. It does get confusing; I had to check a few dictionaries to make sure "greaves" wasn't some bizarre exception to the rule. It isn't. Like gloves, gauntlets, and pants, the word "greaves" is plural, even though what the word refers to may be a single unit in the game.

RE:Facebook
Got your message! Looks like I just missed ya! Since you're basically the only active admin (I'm only semi-inactive at the moment), I think it's definitely a good idea to nominate Jimeee. Go ahead and post your nomination in the forum, I'll vote for him. I've been trying to convince him to be an admin for a long time now. Glad he's finally coming around :D. Just let me know when you post it, I'll vote for him. However, since most people aren't likely to become magically active within the next few weeks, it's doubtful the vote will be "fair". That only supports the notion that we need more admins at the moment, any way. -- 01:51, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
