Sure. I think before making an article we should dump all info we have about them in my sandbox User:Jimeee/sandbox14 (feel free to edit the page) and then we can go from there.

Atmora
Hi again! I'm not sure what you mean - what page should be removed? Nede? As far as I remember "Atmoran" never had its own page. Eventually it could though.

Also, I'm really sorry about not keeping up with the soul gem project - I have been really busy at work this week but i'll try my best to update the page.

RE:Source UESP
Sorry I never replied to a message back from last November. Anyway, I understand that, but to be fair, I had only put that in my edit summary and not as an actual reference, and only did so after confirming the existence of the "Cleanup Cell" I mentioned on my own copy of Skyrim. So, all in all, no harm done, eh? Schiffy (T &#124; C ) 19:52, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hi there! Good to see you again. Sorry, I've been busy with work these days so i'm not on much myself. I have had a look at your page and its incredible! Solid stuff and fully referenced.

Unexplained revert of edit
Hmm, yes, i checked it now. I don't normally use the rollback instead of the undo function, so I'll guess his edit was amidst a very high traffic of bad edits, and i must have mistaken his for minor vandalism. I'll pay more attention to that in the future, and thanks for the heads-up. 01:30, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying and will follow by your rules, but I originally was not intending to elaborate the old english stuff so much that it would be hard to read for certain people, I only wanted to make a little bit of immersion like what you said, just like how most scholars or archmages would speak on TES, further more It would be stupid to change everything into full old english which is impractical and not needed. And if I may ask, can I remove uneeded words from sentences such as this "The tree grows in the middle of a small pond with a light purple mist coming from its purplish water.", I would like to remove the word "a" from the middle of "with" and "light" as it looks uneeded if you ask me, even though it is not needed but I see it more fitting to remove it as to make the sentence sound not so modernized if you know what I mean, I have a lot of free time so I would like to use it to read around the wiki and change senteces such as this by removing unnecessary words while still giving the sentence some sense in them, I want to ask you If I'm allowed to change sentences such as these into what I'm implying. You might probably be saying right now that what I'm trying to imply is uneeded because the sentence still gives what it's trying to give to the reader. I just want to use my free time to make the this wiki an immersive and interesting place to read The Elder Scrolls lore :3

Is this how you reply with the heading thing that you mentioned?
This "how to reply using headings" is much more complicated than I thought *laughs, but things aside the minor edits is what I'm exactly referring to, I asked if I could do such edits seeing that I have tons of free time, but you told me that it is not necessary thus I shall follow your word and focus more on articles that need much more editing. I think my knowledge from completing daggerfall,morrowind and skyrim should come in handy for things such as this :3

Images
Hi, I also uploaded a larger Varla Stone image, so all three images are 400 px wide. The Varla, the Welkynd and the Sigils stone. I also uploded a lit Dark Welkynd Stone if you like that one. Also 400 px wide. If you prefer them like this... 14:40, January 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you aren't planning to add text with the images, loose the "thumb" and just add "right" it looks much better. 15:18, January 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * This was the best I could do... and File:Lightning Attractor.png 21:42, January 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know it doesn't lok that good... I'll upload a square for you but I'll also see if I can make a better image of another one I took. About the invisable table. Is it something like this you mean? Sandbox1. I searched the Wikia for it and found a code for invisable columns and made the whole table invisable. Right now I've just a table for each section... can't think right now how to merge it to just one big table.. 07:19, January 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh and about that Lightning Attractor, I had to redo it at least 8 times! It only strikes once and on the eight time I got it... ha, ha... 07:23, January 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Tables look good... I see you have added some other images I've taken. Glad to help. I'm not really sure how you want that image with soulgems on a Deadric altar. You mean beside the Deadric Shrines? I also think I have some images from inside the Black Star taken before. I'll have a look. And no, I've only played as a single player yet in Portal. :) 14:05, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Soul Gems Project
That page looks great, only thing that really caught my eye was this line...

"In the 4E 201 College of Winterhold in Skyrim had allowed the Necromancy to some degree."

...I'd recommend just getting rid of the date. As it wasn't necessarily that year when necromancy was starting to be allowed at the college.

Black Star Images
Hi Ikabite, just uploaded three images from inside the Black Star. On one of them Malyn Varen is seen. You wanted one of Nelacar sitting hiding his face... well, I did try and get one but he always sits with either bread or a mug in his hand all the time! What I did was go back to an earlier save just before showing him the Star but he just sits there in his chair eating.. no matter how long I wait or go away and comes back later. What do you say.. I did take one when he was looking down in his mug. Haven't uploaded it though as I wanted to hear what you said. 10:16, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nelacar uploaded.. 11:04, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, I uploaded a new version of the Crystalline Structure, have you seen it? 13:33, January 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * And some images of an Ayleid Well during night. 23:00, January 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Morning... really? I thought it looked better :), actually it looks better in my graphics programme as the white area is more transparent then what it gets when uploaded. I'll upload a regular image of it.. Can I delete the other images you are not using? 06:07, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Shields and Armor pages
I figured the Shield (Skyrim) page was getting some information from another page; Armor (Skyrim), but wasn't sure what was going on with the noinclude tags popping up at every edit. But, glad it's been fixed now. I've also lowered the protection level of the Armor (Skyrim) page, since it still requires some little fixes. It looks to be in good shape beyond anything minor, and can be nominated as a good article. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:28, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Dark Brotherhood?
I was just wandering if you felt that the page needed more improvement. I was thinking that perhaps it was ready for Good Article status. Do you still have ideas of stuff that need changing on the page? If not, I'll nominate it. Thanks.

Okay, I'm going to explain my logic to you for the edits on Solitude. There is no source that the mountains behind the city are called the "Haafingar" mountains, that's why I changed it to "nearby mountains". I also changed "The Peninsula" to "a peninsula" to make it plural. Since that isn't the only Peninsula in the hold. I have reverted my edits back since as far as I can tell, there was nothing wrong with them. Zippertrain85 (talk) 23:16, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Lore Education
I have often been fascinated with the Dwemer and other forgotten/changed/extinct races. However, for most of these races I have not taken the time to read their wiki pages as they're a mile long each. I was hoping you could give me a rundown of the history/culture/achievements of the Dwemer, Chimer, Snow Elves (including after they devolved into the Falmer) and the Alyieds. To prevent this discussion from filling up our talk pages, I'll make a thread on the Lore Board named "Extinct Races." Hope you can make it there!

I have seen you and some of the other guys talking about creating a lore guild. I wanted to know if this was official so we could set you up a "guild hall" like the other guilds. I understand you guys are talking about meeting on Skype, but a guild hall would be a decent way to let people communicate or at least know the guild exist.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:02, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Kirbride's Works
Well, I added C0DA because I think it's a notable aspect of OOG lore, and considering we link to it from Landfall I figured it's kinda silly to otherwise ignore it. Shawn agrees with that, however Dovahsebrom would rather not have it on the wiki at all because it is rather disconnected from other lore. We reached a compromise where Dovah would write a detailed summary of it and we would just link to the site, although I haven't checked in on his progress with that in a bit. I'm not entirely sure if this applies to the other texts on that site or only C0DA (but we do fully document the Loveletter, so maybe only C0DA?).

Generally I'd want any and all artwork from these things to be on the wiki. It turns the pages from lifeless blobs of text to significantly more interesting and useful ones. Rim mentioned he plans on adding the artwork to the Origin of Cyrus! page for example, which is in a similar spot. No reason we can't do it for other things too. You could add that image for the Republic at the top of the page along with a brief intro I suppose. —Atvelonis (talk) 20:09, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Gaiden Shinji
Hey Ikabite, I just wanted to let you know that I will have the Gaiden Shinji page finished soon. Also, about separating it into lore and eso specific articles, Shinji has been mentioned in many games but has only appeared in one.

Lore articles are usually only used for characters that appear in two or more games, like Ysgramor. I am still developing an infobox that can be added to in-game articles that will show basic lore info in the infobox below all the technical info, it's still early in development though.

I did also want to thank you for working on those Orsinium pages, and as a small reward:

Re:
Yeah, but personally it isn't as smooth like that. Anyway, if I'm already fixing formatting errors or something else, I might as well make it something that I feel looks better. I think I went into robot mode a bit yesterday and did "and resides" a bit too much, which I regret. Still, "residing" just gives me the shivers a lot of the time, and again, if something else on the page is already wrong, why not change it? As long as that isn't all you're doing to the page, I've always understood that's ok. Though, maybe I'm wrong now with all the new rules around here.

Also, "Interactions" makes no sense if the section is just for quests, which is what I've always thought. I had no idea that it was actually a rule, though. Lol. Good to know, won't change it again.
