1000 things to do in Morrowind
Your right getting to 1000 is going to be very hard and might even be impossible but can you put sensible comments  like aquire all houses. Oh and if your wondering I am not against fun I just think it has its time and place

Your mind is the most powerful weapon you have Talk! 21:05, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

1000 things will take forever to list, people are already running out of ideas and it is only around 100 things listed. I highly doubt Jett Cyber was being completely serious when he was saying he wants 1000 things to do in Morrowind, this is why I, and many others, have just been making jokes to fill in space.

Vivec
You have done an amazing job on the Vivec page. Keep up the awesome work and maybe those "pesky" templates can go away, and maybe it could become a Featured Article! — AutoBlood  Talk   01:15, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Nahfahlaar
Since the Nahfahlaar is a word for word copy it can't stay, so I'm deleting it immediately. For now I'll redirect Nahfahlaar to Nafaalilargus. Jimeee (talk) 10:32, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

That seems like a good idea. I've edited the page to be more knowledgable on the subject.

Canon Tiers
While I agree with the Kirkbride's lore intergration on the pages, there are people here who are on a sort of Kirkbride crusade. So an official statement about different canon tiers could: Take a look at this, for example.
 * Stop edits, that disregard Kirkbride lore as valid.
 * Explain potential editors what Kirkbride canon is and what are its sources.
 * Publicly announce outsiders (4chan, reddit and Bethesda forums) that we accept the Kirkbride lore as canon. (Since it's rumored we don't)

--Ikabite (talk) 05:05, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * A bit off topic... You seem to be a bit knowledgeable about the TES lore, so I'd like to you take a look at this page before I publish it. I may have missed something.

Ruddy Man
Saw your message to Tim and thought I'd look into it. It's fixed now. I'm not sure how that happened, but there were invisible ref tags in the edit that was causing the problem. I fixed it by copying the current content onto the last good edit version which was made on August 7, 2013. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  07:29, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Imperial Library
Yes, I think it would be useful to have these texts linked in the OOG references, mainly as the will contain links to other pages. Let me add all the texts first. While the wikia versions are just really a backup, we can use them for OOG purposes. The important thing is we will eventually need good quality pages on things like CHIM, Amaranth, Landfall etc that the texts mention so we can link them up.

Vivec and Ardhanarishvara
I wanted to ask you if the connection between Vivec and the hermaphrodite god Ardhanarishvara in the Hinduism should be mentioned in Vivec's article.

MK stated in his AMA that elements of Ardhanarishvara indeed are in Vivec.

Also, look at the Screenshot of Vivec and this picture of Ardhanarishvara. The similarity is quite obvious. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 12:48, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

Well, the only source I have is this from MKs AMA: "Were elements of the mythology concerning Vivec- particularly his androgyny- in any way inspired by the Ardhanarishvara, the androgynous aspect of Shiva?

http://www.exoticindia.com/panels/ardhanarishvara_wa74.jpg " (from a reddit user) MKs answer: "Of course.

And I really wanted a magical hermaphroditic badass on the XBox." AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 21:27, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

I asked Jimeee about the reference, and he allowed me to use it. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 21:36, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Shezarrines article
Need your help with this page. Could you take a look at it, by any chance? 22:06, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * The admins won't agree with its deletion; it's something we should have a page on a long time ago. But thanks, anyway. 05:04, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Says who? I will (and have done in the past) blank an entire page if I find it has been copied from uesp. The user who did this will get a stern warning. Jimeee (talk) 10:58, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Sotha Sil
Whilst that is true, the in-game books, letters, etc, are found in the other sections of that site. The "Obscure Texts" are for those that are from the bethesda forums, or other fan-related sites. I.e., Fanon. We accept some of Michael Kirkbride's work, begrudgingly, but only with a warning that it is out-of-game material. It could possibly stay, but with your permission, I'll open it up to the community? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:32, January 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * This thread. As I said here, I don't think we should have them, but the argument could be made either way. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:39, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm actually coming around to your way of thinking. I didn't realise that they were around before Tribunal came out (although, that could be made up, as there is no reference). So if they community thinks we should have them, then I think we will end up with them all listed, not just that Sotha Sil one. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 21:37, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Orgnum
In this instance we leave it - I know that he is the same user and it's up to the user in question to change/reword it if they wish. UESP's policy says it's acceptable too. Jimeee (talk) 15:48, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Thread Closed
You were discussing canonisity and reliability or certain lore-sources. It was off-topic, and I made a new, separate thread, that I also linked. Thread will not be deleted, but closed and will still be open for viewing, so you can continue the discussion on the new thread.

Ikabite (talk) 17:58, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

I think I might have found you on facebook, are Konakrik Dovasebrom there? I apologize if I am mistaken G.A.I. (talk) 16:26, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

C0DA
Just wanted to inform ya that C0DA will be released tomorrow. The countdown can be seen on the official C0DA Website. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 16:52, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

TESO Explanation?
This is just a (crazy) Idea, but what if TESOs Nirn would actually just be a torture realm created by Molag Bal? I think It would make sense. TESOs lore is totally messed up, BUT if TESOs Nirn isn't actually Nirn... let me explain it.

So, we do know that Coldharbour is a totally messed up version of Nirn. Everything there is totally fucked up. But what would stop Molag Bal from creating a second "messed up Nirn" which is a bit closer to the actual Nirn, but still not the actual Nirn? It could be a Pocket Realm.

Molag Bal could have created that realm to torture the Soulless One, the Main Character from TESO, while other Soulless People (other players) are also trapped in that realm. They can't die in any way since their souls belong to Molag Bal. He can resurrect them immediately.

I know that this is a crazy theory... but what do you think about it? AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 19:26, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Well, Molag Bal could actually be trying to merge Nirn with his (main) Realm, but since he's an asshole, he also wants to torture the souls he got from Nirn. There might also be a single person who could actually escape from Coldharbour, and that person would be the "canon" hero of TESO.

Yeah, I guess that's right. But since Coldharbour is infinitely big, it might be possible that there are multiple Nirns existing in Coldharbour. The "weirdest" version might be the "traditional" Coldharbour... the one we know off. One a little bit less weird version could be TESOs "Nirn".

Vivec pic
I wanted to ask you if the pic of Vivec in C0DA (I already uploaded it to the wiki, link ) should be added to the Vivec article?

Re: Another invisible reference
Thanks, got it!

There's actually a way to remove those ref tags manually, by using Monobook. I added a little reminder for myself on the "Administrative" section of my user page. It allows you to force an action by adding this to the end of the URL.

?useskin=monobook&action=edit

So, I removed those invisible refs by doing this in the address bar: elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Skyshroud_Barrow?useskin=monobook&action=edit

It allows you to see everything that isn't showing up in the default editor. I thought you might like to know about that little trick, in case it happens again. :) —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:56, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Book writing
Hey Dovahsebrom, bit of an odd question here, but where do you get all this book content from? I mean unless you type at the speed of light, you must be copy-and-pasting the content from somewhere? Just wonderin'. Thanks in advance. 22:01, February 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks alot Wulfharth. such a witty lore joke 22:11, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Orsinium Edits
Regarding that page, I removed it because nowhere in the game is it stated that Orsinium was sacked in the Fourth Era. The loading-screen you provide as evidence;

"Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times."

does not state that the city was sacked in the Fourth Era, only that it has been sacked in the past.  DRAEVAN13  16:18, February 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * From Pocket Guide to the Empire about Orsinium:


 * "Other Orcs with vision attempted to create new homelands over the next three thousand years, but all were attacked and destroyed before they could take root."


 * This is BEFORE the Second Orsinium was founded. THAT is what the loading screen means when it says that Orisinium was sacked many times.


 * Next time, read the sources you provide as evidence more carefully.  DRAEVAN13  18:36, February 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I disagree, since the Guide clearly states that several Orsiniums within 3,000 years "were attacked and destroyed before they could take root." and the Loading Screen never mentions the Fourth Era as you claim it does. At any rate, we're at an impasse, I've asked the Admins to weigh in before this escalates into an Edit War.  DRAEVAN13  18:53, February 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * That doesn't make any sense. It says "sacked and rebuilt many times". If this is a new Orisinium, how can it have been sacked many times if it was just created recently? This sounds more like an oversight or mistake on Bethesda's half regarding the location of Orsinium.  DRAEVAN13  19:06, February 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Stop with this now, if you have a source that can confirm this, add this in the article or take it to the Orsiniums talkpage instead until all can agree instead of adding and removing information. Is the information here? Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Orsinium. And looking at the history of the page, Dovahsebrom, you have edited the page far too many times in a short timeframe. If you know you are making a lot of edits, do so in one or two edits. Not up to 15 times within 25 minutes. 21:22, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Shalidor's Library
In answer to your question ...

Personally, I think we should have them separate. The reasons being that the first one, the full document, has been up online, available for a very long time. (Thus, at least whilst development is still taking place, makes it somewhat historical in terms of the game content. I didnt really say that right, but hopefully you get my idea with that. The reason why we would also like to have the other two separate is that the locations will be different for each, and this might be necessary enough for individual pages. I'm actually just about a Consensus Thread about this (and similar) questions with regards to these books - there are a few other books that we have on the wiki from previous games in the series, that are split into two. History of the Fighters Guild, 1st Ed, for example.

On a different note altogether - the last chapter mentions Varen. Is that the same one from the Five Companions? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:45, February 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, and also - do you think we should have them all listed at Shalidor's Library? OR should we have them on a page such as "Lore Library (Online)" or "Lore Library" (Another one I am going to open up to the consensus thread - that way we all get a say :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:46, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Help?
Hey, could you please help me with this thread? I'm having trouble there at explaining two Users that Children in TES take the race from their mother on. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 21:36, March 25, 2014 (UTC)

Forum Mod
Hey, I want to nominate you for the position of Forum Moderator. Mostly because you seem to be quite active, know the lore and because we need more staff members (I think I'm the only really active Forum Moderator right now). Since ESO will be released soon, we could use more staff members to watch over the Forum. You seem to be fit for the job. If you want to become one, then I'll nominate you. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 13:52, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

So, I talked with Zippertrain, Alduin and Ikabite about my Idea. Zippertrain and Ikabite would support you, while Alduin would stay Neutral until he would see you posting more comments in the Forums. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 22:09, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

I just want to inform you that I nominated you now. You can see your nomination here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki_talk:Moderators AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 19:17, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Images on Vivec
Hi, AutoBlood asked me if the article Vivec (God) was good enough for a nomination to Featured Article.. we are looking at it and we know you have worked a lot to improve it. I have replaced some of the images as you might have seen. What I would like to know where did you get the image of BaarDau.jpg as it looks way to perfect. This is not the look ingame as the sight is poor and you don't see the island behind. Did you use a mod or something? I have uploaded another version of it here. 21:25, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I'll replace it with the one I took. If you can get a better, (although it is tough and I have tried my hardest in my graphicsprogram to make it clearer, but that was the best I could do,) if you go there again, replace mine in that case. 21:52, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

I haven't said this yet
Or if I have - it deserves saying again. You're doing some seriously great work with the uploading of online content. Id give you a fishy stick, but I'm on my mobile atm. Seriously though... Thank you very Mich. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 01:58, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Shalidor created Glamoril
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Shalidor apparently created Glamoril himself. I'm at the last quest of the Mages Guild in ESO right now, and he told me that. Screenshot AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 09:21, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Nope, he only says what is shown in my Screenshot. No mention of Glamoril after this anymore. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 14:09, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Italicization
Hi, you might have seen the reply Sky gave on my talkpage about consensus reached in this matter in the forum. Yes, although it wheren't that many who voted for a removal it was still decided that we do. As I've told Sky, it doesn't mean we all just go there and do it. Tomb will set her bot to fix it, those that have the  used. Hopefully it can be done like Balagog suggested in that thread for the other method used. But if you need to edit the article, like with the online books, you can remove it as you are already editing. 05:19, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
