==Book Article== Heya Timeoin, I was just looking at one of your latest edits to the Chimarvamidium article, which brings up several questions: I think that's all for now. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 19:42, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Is the slideshow including the cover and the book contents not acceptable in the place of the cover image, and if not, what about the use of the Gallery for the book contents? I noticed you removed the slideshow, which was put in to replace a gallery. (Side note: if we are not going to include a gallery, the note referring to it just below the Content heading needs to be removed.) Does this mean that images of the book contents should not be included? (My personal opinion is that they should be.)
 * 2) I received a note from another admin indicating that a licensing notice was not required on the article page since it is included with the image. Has this changed?
 * 3) Regarding the "Back" and "Forward" navigation buttons for previous and next volumes of the book series: shouldn't there be something in the middle, like a thumbnail of the book on the current page? (Just a thought, really. It took me a moment to figure out what that was there for.)

It makes sense to remove the slideshow if it was breaking the book template. Thanks for the response. I just didn't know if there was a problem with including screenshots of the book contents in the gallery or somewhere else. Do you have any thoughts on questions 2 and 3? Thanks again.

Altar of Spellmaking
I have been working on locations in Oblivion, and Altar of spellmaking is marked as a location.

while i see the logic in this, im not sure if it really a location. should i leave it, or remove it? Cheatcodechamp (talk) 22:45, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Delete page
I tried to tag the page [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Companion_gere_WTF!!!!!!! Companion gere WTF!!!!!!! ] for deletion, but i'm stuck in an infinite loop where the page keeps asking me if i gave a description for the deletion, and then a preview of the page, and then again the message about the description, and so on, and so on. Could you delete it or tag it for deletion please. --Kennyannydenny (talk) 21:21, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Dammit, every time i try to mark it for deletion, i get logged out. Weird stuff going on... --Kennyannydenny (talk) 21:21, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

No more battles, huh?
Hello there. I just wanted to drop in and apologize. A very long while ago I said I would be doing work around here to clean up and source some of the pages I wrote, and I never got around to it. Looking around, I've noticed that most of those battle pages have been voted away anyhow, so perhaps it's all for the best. Back in the day, this wiki was more focused on lore than game information. With how well the site's been doing as a Skyrim information source, those pages really don't belong anymore, I suppose.

In any event, just wanted to again wish you luck with it. Thanks for bringing the Elder Scrolls Wiki back to life. GR Groe (talk) 00:39, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

No Chat Rooms?
I find it odd a wiki such as this doesn't have a chat room. It's easy to implement and helps the community grow, I think.

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 01:42, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Well I was thinking the Chat feature available from the Admin tools page. It adds a small box to the right hand side of the wiki. It seems more convienent.

Thanks so much for the help! It's really nice to have people like you around when other people join new websites!

Only reason I said that I wouldn't be using Chrome often is because the Wifi that I was on requires the browser to work properly. I'm going to use Safari from now on, anyway.

Thanks for the help, once again :)

Morrowind Potion Fortify "Speedy"?
Heya Timeoin, I ran across a Cheap Potion of Fortify Speedy (instead of Speed). The only page that links to it is Potions (Morrowind). What I was wondering is this...is the Potions page automatically generated so that if I rename the fortify speedy page the change will automatically be reflected on the potions page? Or would it be better to create a new page with the correct name and make a redirect page? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 01:08, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ummm, thanks, ... I think. I had just edited the page and was waiting for your response before I published my changes and renamed the page. You're just too quick! (hehe)GramsJ (talk) 01:27, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

It's all good. :) GramsJ (talk) 01:42, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Orcs vs Orsimer
Dear Timeoin, one question comes to mind everytime i see this. Why is the category (and it's subcategories) Orcs called that way. Why not Category:Orsimer? We also named the others Category:Altmer and not High Elf, Category:Dunmer and not Dark Elf, etc, etc. Why call this category orc, in range of High Elf and Dark Elf, and not Orsimer, just like Dunmer and Altmer? --Kennyannydenny (talk) 21:56, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually ... that's a pretty damn good point. :) I think it was because that was the category name that was already in use. I'm talking to Elch now, and he agrees that it probably should be changed to the correct name for them :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 00:16, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

More on Morrowind Potions
Hi Timeoin. I think I've just come across one of those naming anomalies you mentioned. We have an article for Exclusive Invisibility and one for Exclusive Potion of Invisibility. At first glance, it would seem ( and I would think) that the latter would be the correct one, but the Construction Kit has the former one in the list, not the latter one. How does the game itself refer to this potion? Anyway the question becomes, do we keep both, or do we redirect one to the other? And if one of them needs to be redirected, which one? Confused yet? Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 01:17, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Lake 'Tear'?
Hi, I made a couple of contributions to the page for Lake Tear, but having just studied the map of Skyrim I've realised that no such place exists - it's actually Lake Geir. I think the name must have somehow been lost in translation for whoever created the page (not me guv!). The page for Lake Geir is much smaller and doesn't even have a pic. Am I ok to delete the page for Lake Tear (explaining why in the summary, obv) and transfer everything to the correct page, i.e that of Lake Geir?

Question
When ranked as Imperial Legate, could you command an Imperial soldier/legion (Skyrim) ?

Fixin' your page
Hey Tim! Just fixing up your page, because it was all funky and formatting was out of whack! You know I can't help it! Everything must be neat and tidy. :P 21:52, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Reply to concerns
Hey

seeing that what i have been doing is a big deal, i wish to apologizes about it. I should have read up on the rules better and made sure that what i was doing was ok or not, i assumed that since it was on a wiki it was fair use if i used it on an other wiki (looking back, this was foolish).

im not going to try to defend myself (there's very little i could say anyway). But i do want to apologize and ask if there is anything i can do to make this right. I dont want to get the Wiki in trouble over me being stupid and i am willing to do what it takes to fix this.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:14, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, ill make sure to put everything from know on in my own words.

And about the pictures, i was recommended a week or so ago that, while i was doing everything according to the rules when uploading them, that it would be better to either get the screen shots myself, or find them from sites besides UESP to avoid un needed-risks. so i have been avoiding uploading them by finding other sources.

Thanks and have a good weekend Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:34, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Locked pages
Hey Timeoin, just wanted to ask a quick question. How is it that a patroller can't edit the pages Shadowmere (Skyrim), Odahviing and Easter Eggs (Skyrim)? I know these pages are locked, but why are they locked for patrollers? --Kennyannydenny (talk) 11:36, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Cheevo Archive Wiki Afiliation Request
Hi Admins,

I am here on behalf of the Cheevo Archive Wiki in order to make a request of the Elder Scrolls Wiki.

Firstly, I guess I should give you a rundown on exactly what Cheevo Archive Wiki is. Well basically it is a wiki that was made in order to provide easily accessible guides and to Video Game (such as Skyrim) achievements/trophies. The wiki was formed on February 28th 2012 and so far is going pretty well. We were approved of Wiki Spotlight on the 22nd of March and are now working on getting some partnerships going with other affiliated Video Gaming wiki's such as this one.

So now the big question, would the Elder Scrolls Wiki Wiki be interested in forming some kind of affiliation/partnership? We would add a link to the ES wiki on our main page and add the ES Wiki to our list of Affiliated Wikis. We believe the partnership could be mutually beneficial.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this request.

Thanks

Colored nicknames of users
Greetings!

We faced a problem on our wiki (The Elderscrolls Wiki Rus). I wanted to change the colors of nicknames of important people. I found this css file that, as I understood, is obliged to change the colors. I attached it to the common.css but it still doesn't work.

The tag "color" in our css is white instead black like in yours. Does it mean that I didn't attached any more files? I would be greatful to you if you help :)

Merging
My point of view is that the most important part is not the caracteristics or the design of the creatures but their background, the changes and design evolutions betwin each game can be pointed in a paragraph on their page.

I was absent for some time and at my return i can see that all my merging work on the Atronach part has been messed up by staff members... If the politic of this Wiki is to create new near empty page with minor change for the same creature, for each game where it appear, i think i won't work on this wiki anymore...

useless page created by troll
Random Loot (Skyrim)

according to deletion logs, this page has been deleted twice already, both times because it had useless content/gibberish. it was created again, with a bunch of random letters as the text

Rename page
Hey timeoin, i just read it was your birthday a while ago. I know i'm late but better late then never: Happy birthday!

Now for the other reason i'm here: Could you rename the page Dogs (Skyrim) to Dog (Skyrim). All other animal pages are singular, except this one. --Kennyannydenny (talk) 08:38, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Switch Fm link not working..
The link does not appear to exist and it i just thought you should know. And if you don't mind what is your timezone?

Image needed
Hey,

Sorry to bother you but i have something i need to ask. I was adding images to article a while back but was told to stop because UESP and this wiki dont have the best relationship, and since that is where i got most of my pics it would be best to stop until i could get pictures from other means.

I wasn't breaking the rules, and i made sure to give UESP full credit for each pic. but not wanting to risk anything for the Wiki or myself, i stopped. im planing on helping with moving articles to the more direct categories and "image needed" is one of the biggest. i would hate to just move everything without trying to add images to a few and wanted to ask you if i should still abide by the request to not use photos i didn't take, or to just not use UESP as much and get a few of those articles filled up more. Im mot trying to get around what i was told, but i still am a little in the dark about why i shouldn't upload photos even when i give full credit. I have no problems either way but i wanted to make sure and hear what you had to say before i got started.

Hope to hear soon, and happy editing

Hi, I was trying to change the name of the Mud Crab page to Mudcrab (the correct spelling of the species), but was unable to. It is suggesting I contact an administrator. Thanks!

In response to your question, "What was the reason behinf you creating the 'Ghost Weapons (Skyrim)' page?", the answer is that after I obtained the ghostblade, I went to check if there were other ghost-type weapons and the information on the subject was very confusing.

Hi,

I was told to contact an administer to fix my problem. I am trying to edit a page and one of the links is to a YouTube video. The page i'm trying to edit is "Waking Nightmare " and I'm trying to edit the Bug section, because I have found a solution witch works and has been tested on PS3. But only problem is, it is hard to explain, so I thought a YouTube video would be a better walkthrough. I don't own the video myself, but because the video itself is there to help is there something that can be done?

Here is the post;

- It may also be possible to fix by using a Platter to go through walls, thus skipping some of the quest, but still being able to complete the quest and obtaining the Skull of Corruption for the Oblivion Walker achievement. (PS3 Tested) You will need 3 Platters overall to be able to return back. Click Here for a full walk through.

Page in need of attention?
Hey Timeoin, i ran across this orphan page and just felt it was rather pointless to exist... theres very little information on it. It could be merged with the page describing Tumble Arch Pass as a trivia, but i dont see the relevance for this page to exist, so i thought i would bring it to your attention as you probaly would know what to do with it. heres the link---> Giant giants club Vrishnak92 (talk) 13:31, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks Vrishnak92, I have dealt with the page. Jimeee (talk) 14:38, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Enchanted items articles?
Hey, just wondering, but should we let there be individual enchanted weapons articles? They're not really unique weapons/armor, so they usually just end up being stubs. Should I just go ahead and mark them for deletion if they're not unique enchantments? (I'm more referring to stuff like Ancient Nord War Axe of Cold, not articles like Valdr's Lucky Dagger) Thanks! Undead H3r3tic (talk) 14:01, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Timeoin is kind unavaliable right now - but I can say yes you are correct. These pages should not really exist as there are so many variables, that it would create too many similar pages. Enchanted Weapons (Skyrim) page is sufficient for now. Jimeee (talk) 14:35, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Editing problems
Hey.. uh... not sure if you can fix this, but on this praticular wiki I have been having problems editing just about everything for the past two days. What's strange is that it's just this wiki. Every time I go to add a comment on a blog post or leave a message on a talk page, I get a perpetual "loading editor". Hell, I had to refresh this page constantly just to place this praticular comment. So I ask, is there anything to your knowledge I can do to fix this? Like I said before, it seems to only affect this wiki and has only flared up this past couple of days. I you can provide any help, I would really appreciate it.
