Bot
Hey Elchzard!

I am looking around some pages, and have found a couple of very, very "strange" categories added by Veetor bot, and therefore ask you to please put the bot on hold until we really can figure out the categorization of the pages. Thanks :)

Quiz
They are for a quiz which is going up shortly... I'm having a little isp difficulty, the blog I just got to finally publish was supposed to go up before I started building the quiz.

 * Not a problem - sorry about that, protocol is to have the blog up first, but when I clicked publish on a separate tab & moved on- it didn't take.

Talking
Kasper Gutman: You're a close-mouthed man?

Sam Spade: Nah, I like to talk.

Kasper Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice. Now, sir. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.

Settlement template
I'm having an issue on changing the settlement template. I've tried to replace the settlement icon with the SVG one, but something happened and it ruined the template. I've tried to undo my change but still nothing changed. Can you take a look at it? Thanks. Here is the SVG icon: — JPulowski (talk) 23:51, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, I've solved it. Looks like google chrome doesn't like wiki. I've tried it with firefox. It's okay right now. Thanks again. :) — JPulowski (talk) 23:54, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Hey there person I've never met before or talked with in any other wiki or website, how are you doing there stranger? DanMan7308 (talk) 17:48, November 14, 2011 (UTC) DanMan7308

I'm doing quite well thanks for asking totally random person, though I am hesitant of getting Skyrim or this really cool game from a series I used to be obsessed with, maybe you know it? Assassin's Creed Revelations? I heard it is an amazing game but so is Skyrim..hmm.. DanMan7308 (talk) 14:25, November 17, 2011 (UTC) DanMan7308

SuperGiraffe
Please can you deal with this user? He keeps uploading UESP content, which is contrary to what we discussed a couple of weeks ago. Thanks. –rpeh •T•C•E• 12:12, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm uploading copyrighted Bethesda content which UESP have taken a screen-capture of. If these two wiki's have reached some soft of accord to not share images, this should be noted in the Upload instructions and also the attribution template should probably be removed. Should this be the case, I still do not agree with replacing the image on the page with this ridiculous message. Super Giraffe  12:29, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * SuperGiraffe, I would appreciate it if you let messages for me be answered by me, rather than anyone else.


 * And rpeh, I understand the issue has now been sorted. Thanks for telling me, and feel free to email me about such things in the future. Elchzard  (Talking is fun.) 17:11, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Bot
Here's a question for you, Elch:

How do I use that bot? Or is it something only you can do? :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 23:35, November 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * The files are stored on my laptop, so it can only do things when I tell it to currently. If you want me to get it to do something, though, just ask. :) Elchzard  (Talking is fun.) 20:04, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

Darkness Returns changes
I have made some changes to the Darkness Returns quest in my Sandbox. I arranged it so the powers stand out more. I think this makes the page more organized. I thought I would run the changes by you before I altered the article. Should you approve, I will then add a delete tag to the Nightingale Shadow page as I incorporated the info from there into my changes. Thoughts? GrandMoffVixen (talk) 06:29, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

Elchzard,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the Skyrim selection is all jacked up. Character's catagory is not selectable, and the list of stuff goes out of the box which makes some of it non clickable.

Have a great day.

Would like to report inappropriate language
An annonymous contributor with the IP 70.88.44.113 address made a change on the Throat of the World page. I reverted/undid the change to the previous edit, but was wondering if there is a ban or something that can be done in addition?

Sithis
I've done some reading and I am trying to figure out where Sithis fits into the whole realm of Gods in the Elder Scrolls games. But I want to make sure I have my facts about the beliefs and legends straight. Reading the page "Sithis (Book)" under the paragraphs within "Content" it comes to my attention there is perhaps an interest spin on the idea of the Adera. First I need to know if I have a rough understanding of Sithis though. Sithis is basically not so much necessarily a being but something of a void and before him was nothing "stasis" (and or is he the same nothingness as well?). Then to my understanding Sithis took the nothing and created the opportunity of endless possibilities (like ideas, with this also having the possibility never to materialize) letting them drift into the nothing and fade away gradually becoming nothing. Continuing in this fashion until one of these possibilities/ ideas "became jealous and did not want to die" than manifested itself becoming Anui-El (Akatosh) and "made friends" being originally other ideas/possibilities that manifested becoming as some mortals would call them "The Eight Divine". Thus disrupting the cycle and the natural order of things (in a sense defying Sithis) creating the first idea of life yet even more than that seeing as how they were "Immortals" I assume making the first creation of Life one without in fact death. Then the Adera basically took hold of every possibility (maybe even more so taking away the possibility of death) for there on wills, creating and generating "everlasting realms of imperfection". The Adrea created what the people of nirn know as the universe, again defying the natural order and Sithis. So Sithis created Lorkhan to "destroy the universe", however it seems that rather than destroy in the sense we might think of it, it however rather means setting back the natural order of things to the cycle (destroying immortality kind of). So Lorkhan deceived the Eight into thinking himself one of them; afterwards he spread the ideas of mortality and thus created Nirn in the process. Then this is where I tried to piece the rest of the puzzle together in the most logical sense I could based off the previous knowledge I had. Once the threat of mortality was created; reestablishing the natural order the Adrea probably caught wind of his "treachery" and tore out his heart casting him to earth however yet he was still successful in his mission of re-setting the balance closer to what the cycle once was... And depending of what you believe the Adera became part of Nirn as well basically meaning they lost immortality as well ?... Kinda sorta? Help please, the Green Mage NEEDS FOOD BADLY!

Renaming templates
Hey man. I saw you renamed Quests to SkyrimQuests. Are we gonna bring all the templates inline with a naming convention? If so we have several others in use that we'll need to update. Let me know whats up. I was going to start adding the book template to the book pages to start improving them. Also, we have a cat issue with the templates. We currently have templates under: Category:Templates/Infoboxes and under: Category:Infobox templates ! A lovely mess. I should be on in the AM. Thanks, DLanyon (talk) 05:54, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Template:Books not to be confused with the older Template:Book
 * Most of the specific locations ones
 * Template:Armors not to be confused with the older Template:Armor
 * That wasn't actually me, but Kacj321 - I was renaming the documentation so it showed up on the page. But anyway, I think that might be a bright idea, to be honest - the naming convention I mean. We'll talk about it when you arrive tomorrow :P


 * And, I'll sort out the categorisation now.


 * Cheers! Elchzard  (Talking is fun.) 10:53, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Template problem?
Hi there.

I've been working on the locations pages, but the big gap between the title and the start of the article is still appearing on some pages. Looking at the code, It seems to be a phantom tag inserted between tag tags? See http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/High_Hrothgar Is it still being worked on?

Fast Travel Page
The Fast Travel (Fycan) Page is finished or at a releasable stage. However, the name "Fast Travel" is now taken by another sub-Page - Travel. Please let me know how to unlink "Fast Travel" from "Travel" Page. Thank you. Fy can  [ fahy - kan ] @ 10:17, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Template: Bugs
I thought your modification was a mistake because they looked so bad,. However, adding Patch behind the logo might make sense. Could we put it in form of maybe: PS3 (v1.03)? and not -? When I first saw it I thought someone was trolling, sorry. Also, How do you intend to create logo which represents a Bug which occur from Patch B to Patch C? (Does not appear in Patch A & D). Is the new logo going to be really long?

 * I still am not getting the picture regarding what they're supposed to look like. I think these 3 Logos are well used in Page like Honeyside (Bugs) where there are Sections for Current Bugs & Officially Patched Bugs (where Patch Version is mentioned). If you don't mind, I'd like to know how these logos are to be used?
 * Ah, it looks good. But what's gonna happen if Patch 1.05 comes out and fixes only 2 Bugs. Wouldn't we have to modify all these logos? Is there a bot that can do it? If you make it so the Template PC still has its original look while IF Function allows for your look then I think it will be great.
 * Alrighty, thank you Elchzard . I actually meant do we have to manually change each of them every time a new Patch arrives and said Bugs still persist. Anyways, let's give it a try.  Fy  can  [ fahy - kan ] @ 20:13, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Bot Question
Hey Elch. This page shows some interesting features of that auto-patrol bot. The person was banned by the bot for the spam image (was pornography). However, it didn't automatically remove the picture. Is there something we can do about this? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 11:36, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Here you go
Hey guys, I've noticed that the Morrowind section of the wiki seems to be falling behind the other sections of the Wiki. There are pages that need creating, catergorys that need to be added and we are lacking pictures. If we completely finished the Morrowind section of the wiki our page count would be in the 20,000's. I know that many of you will be busy with Skyrim but please renember to pitch in. Thanks. Commander Faol (talk) 16:45, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Abuse filter false positive
Hey, you seem to be the person who edits the abuse filter frequently on this wiki, so I'm just letting you know that there was a false positive here - looks like the smiley at the end of the edit triggered, blocking someone who shouldn't have been blocked, so I've unblocked. --  Random Time  20:18, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

New Youtube Channel
Okay i made a new youtube channel and email, email= TESWIKIA@gmail.com (cause TESWIKI already taken(not by tim, i asked him)) youtube= TheElderScrollsWiki, kai said elderscrollswiki was better but it was already taken... yea same pass for both email and youtube.

Abuse Log
Hey Elch ... Um, there are some problems with the Abuse Log. I dont really understand how it works, so I'm letting you know, and hope that you do. Special:DeletedContributions/Trevor_O'Hare is the contribution in question. Sorry :( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 04:51, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Elchzard i have a question for you. In Skyrim I was doing a bit exploring and encountered bandit camp near Whiterun. Now I cleared it and I went small distance from it and got atacked by Redguard female Ice Mage (apprentince or adept not sure which). She had novice ice spell tome on her. But now I saw a dead imperial woman surounded by candles near her and I was interested if you know about this event as I am unable to find any article(not just on this wiki but internet vise) or video about this hapening in Skyrim. Thanks in advance.95.155.40.241 16:52, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Extra Work

I'm trying really hard not to do any multiple edits, and to make each edit more substantial. Just wanted you to know I'm making the effort since our conversation :) Have a good one! Winnersusedrugs (talk) 00:38, January 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Gonna start editing the pages with new pictures per the new standard of having our item and weapon screen shots w/o the stat table. Just letting you know in case things get crazy. I will continue to try and consolidate my edits as much as I can. 76.104.210.106 01:22, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Fanart
I see you removed the fanart in the Chicken page. I was wondering if it's against the rules to create a page dedicated to list them and their original author, rather than including them in regular pages. Can I do that?

Ronlaw (talk) 21:04, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * No fanart in normal articles, I'm afraid. You can include it on your userpage though. That's all I can allow. Elchzard  (Talk to me.) 21:08, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hello there! Your opinion is requested at Forum:CT:Categorization of the wiki. Love to hear from ya! :) --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   12:02, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

What happened?
Tim told me afterwards how you were kinda stressed. Still, I don't think it's very nice being called a douchebag over a joke. I've known you a while Elch, heck....I even voted for you becoming Admin. But since then you've gained an air of superiority that comes across as you being quite rude. Kicking me from the Staff chat just for asking if you were ok? That was petty. It also was annoying for other staff members who had to be  INVITED  to the staff chat by Tim and Kacj. Staff does not consist of you and Tim. It includes all Patrollers, OP's and Admins. I really hope you realize that.... Commander Faol (talk) 00:09, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

G'Day
A rather personal message for you this time Elch! Just wanted to use this edit to say - thanks :) Thanks for not giving up on the wiki when it would have been all too easy to do so! If it wasnt for your help - we wouldnt be anywhere near as good as we are now. So - just letting you know that I seriously appreciate it! Incidentally, this is edit number 29,998 :D

Cyrodiil/Vandalisim
Hi I was on the Cyrodiil page making edits under Politics section. I was adding links to other pages but when i was finished and hit Publish a note came up saying I was vandalising. I asked TombRaiser and she said to it may have been a false-positve reading and told me to ask you because you created that filter. Could you clear things up for me. Thanks ChampionofCyrodiil (talk) 02:56, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hiya, thanks for the report. I've fixed the issue, (I hope) and shall have Sactage look at it later. 07:14, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Requesting permission to add videos on wikis
Hi Elchzard,

I would like to know if I could have permission to add links to my YouTube videos to wiki pages. I find that video walkthroughs are very useful, easy to understand and offer great visual support. If used correctly (in a non-spammy manner, obviously), having videos around can greatly enrich this site's content. Sometimes, reading a a walkthrough isn't enough, and the user could prefer to watch a quick video instead!

I constantly upload Skyrim videos to my channel, at http://youtube.com/smikesmike05, these videos range from walkthroughs to lore, among other things.

Hope to hear from you soon :)

Best Regards!

MediaWiki:Common.js Change
Elchzard,

I have hidden a reference in your Common.js file that was referring to cvu.js.

That code is old and buggy, and lately has been throwing errors on a number of important site functions - such as editing and ad delivery - because wgPageQuery is no longer a page variable.

You are, of course, free to fix it, remove it completely, or plan some other course of action. I just wanted to fix the error from breaking other things now (and it shouldn't have been doing it's specific job anyway since it was broken).

Hope this heads up helps! --daNASCAT 17:44, June 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the heads up - Sorry for any issues it's caused at HQ :P. It's not my script, so I guess I'll just remove it for now and we'll manage manually. Again, thanks for making me aware of these changes, and apologies for any bother. Cheers, 20:50, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Quiz
Elchzard,

I wanted to reach out regarding the quiz and images that XD1 has been putting up. I'm sorry that you guys weren't let know in advance. Not an excuse, but this is a sponsored quiz that was meant as a fun thing for the community to celebrate the release of the new DLC, and we assumed since quizzes had been done here in the past that they were something you were all okay with. As for the images being used, they were all tagged as fair use upon upload, so there shouldn't be any issues there. I'm sorry for the confusion, but we would like to move forward with the quiz. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Sena 21:59, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
