User talk:Cheatcodechamp

Hey there! I noticed you recently uploaded an image from UESP. While we totally appreciate you wanting to spread the multimedia love, we do have a policy for uploading images from other sites. Please take a look at TESWiki:SEE to read about our policies.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 07:49, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Interwiki linking
Hello, thank you for contributing to the wiki. I would like to ask of you to take similar articles as styling example for new articles. You could use Beds (Skyrim) as example for the Beds (Oblivion) page. Please make use of interwiki linking wherever possible. ~ Flightmare (talk) 21:57, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks for de-stubbing some of our Oblivion articles. Much appreciated. You may benefit from looking over our style guideline, especially in regards to the sections on writing style and perspective. In main space articles, we avoid using words such as "you" or "I". You don't have to go back and immediately change everything you've already published. It'll be fixed in due time. Just keep that in mind for future edits! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. :) --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  03:27, March 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding. In quotes, it's okay to use "you" and "I", but in article text, it's not okay. I had a look through your recent edits, I've noticed that almost every single page you edited, you added the word "you" outside of character dialogue. For instance, this edit made to Serer Andrano. This only one of several edits I looked through. I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but it is a big deal. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  07:26, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ralen Tilvur
Sorry about the delayed response (I have been busy with real life issues the past few days). Okay, I have had a look at the page - it actually is supposed to be a location. Its one that needs attention (I havent gotten around to adding all the information to those locations yet - theres a lot of work that goes into each of them). But... it is indeed meant to be there. Ralen Tilvur is the page for the character. Ralen Tilvur: Smith is the in-game name given to his shop in Vivec City. In Oblivion and Skyrim, most of the shops had fancy names, but in Morrowind, very few of them did. (It was an earlier game, and I think the logic behind it was that at least this way, you knew who the shopkeeper was?). Anyways - it is definitely meant to be with that name. (If you're interested User:Timeoin/Locations has a list of the locations in Morrowind. At the bottom of that page, there's a list of all the locations in the major towns) I hope this helps. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 05:32, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. and thanks for looking at the site. i have been working on the morrowind NPC's since i joined and it confused me when i saw that this was a location, its been so long since i played the game i almost fogot how they named most of the buildings.

Adding weapons
Hi there. Noticed you are adding some Morrowind weapons. Please check the Enchantments field when adding the enchantment as they are being displayed incorrectly. I think you added a few extra spaces. I have fixed the errors. Thanks.

Jimeee (talk) 20:16, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, ill take a look at the changes and note them so i wont repeat the errors again.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 20:18, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re: picture review
Looks to me like you're doing everything ok. One thing I would recommend is to not waste your time with the Information template, you don't really need to put that in there. Just make sure that you always include the template for every image (which I see you did, for the image you linked). If at any point you find that one of your images has been deleted, it'll usually be because it was replaced with a higher quality image. I've been replacing a lot of weapon and armor screenshots from Skyrim with high quality renders and when I remove the original screenshot I'll delete it, it's nothing personal. Likewise, if you replace an image on a page, please make sure to mark the image that you removed with the Delete template, like so: (replacing the word reason with the actual reason for deletion).

But at any rate, from what I can see you're doing a good job. Keep it up!  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 23:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, im glad to see i know how to do it know. and i wont take any picture replacement badly, im just trying to fix alot of the "image needed" problemsCheatcodechamp (talk) 23:33, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Steel Sparkskewer
Hi. I don't know if it was your intention to replace the image I provided for the Steel Sparkskewer, but the images that I've been adding are the correct types for the weapons I've been adding. The image may not specify it as a "Steel Sparkskewer" because it uses the same image as a "Steel Spear" as do many of the other generic enchanted weapons. Feel free to add in the statistics, but please don't remove the images. Thanks :) 01:24, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Hey there! I've been noticing you uploading a lot of images from UESP lately. Like I said before, we generally don't have a huge problem with using images from there, so long as the attribution template is used, we do prefer original screenshots. By that I mean, we prefer it if you take the screenshot yourself instead of simply reuploading one from the other wiki. We aren't affiliated in any way with UESP and we have a rather tenuous relationship with them. If you have the ability, please make sure you're taking your own screenshots and uploading them instead of simply using the ones from UESP. Thanks.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 01:53, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is there an other way i can upload pics besides UESP and screenshot's? i understand the issue with using there pics, and that is why i have been trying to do it by the rules so we wouldn't have any trouble. But i play all my games on the 360 so if i took any pics from there they would look like crap.


 * I will try to do everything i can to find pictures and images of what i need before going to UESP, i dont want to cause unneeded troubles and stress.


 * Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:11, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately there are very few ways to get screenshots if you're playing on the 360. Remember, we want original images, so just because it's not from UESP (for example, if you get it from a Google image search) it's still not an original image. I play primarily on Xbox, but I also have a Steam version of the game that I use to get screenshots if I need to. Unfortunately, the only thing I could say would be to stick to edits of the content instead of uploading images if you're not able to get original screenshots. If you notice a age that needs a screenshot, add the Category:Image Needed and someone will eventually add an image to it.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 02:23, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well that cuts into my plans. I have been wanting to reduse the number of pages that need images. But ill hold back and look into other edits i can work on untill i find a way to get the images i need without going to UESP. Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:33, March 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * As long as the map images aren't directly copied from UESP then it's fine.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 20:32, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Double article
Hey, thanks for letting me know about it. Instead of deleting the duplicate article that you made, I just made it a redirect to the actual article, it's cleaner than deleting it.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 23:46, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Altar of Spellmaking
I think it should be left as it is for now. If only because there's no better category for it to be put under? True, its not a proper "location" in the proper sense, but for people looking at the category, its still useful for it to be there. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:24, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Works for me, i just wanted to make sure before i did any edits on the article. Thanks Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:28, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Morrowind Quests
Hey ... um, just to let you know, I have merged those "Execute x" quests that you created. They were already made (not a very detailed walkthrough though) with the title "Kill x". e.g. Kill Durus Marius. The reason they were named that was to get away from having identical names as UESP does where possible, especially in ones without "official" names. Also, if you're interested: The list of quests can be found at Quests (Morrowind) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 01:32, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, it has been brought to my attention (by someone on IRC) that a lot of the content that you have been adding on pages is an almost word-for-word copy from another site. As an administrator here, I have to officially ask you to stop, as it is a copyright violation (I dont LIKE having to do that, but I have to nonetheless) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 01:58, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nah, it's okay :) As I said before, I am only relaying a message. As long as it doesnt continue the way it has been, there should not be a problem. If you've played Morrowind, a lot of the time, its very easy to write a page that it better than what they have anyways :) And the images you have been uploading - you have been doing the right thing there by adding the proper image attribution templates, so you don't have to worry there. As I said before though, I don't really want to have to do anything official with this, which is why I left a message to warn you first. Don't worry, though! :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:03, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the double messaging then. And yeah, own words and such is best. (On a different note though: Happy Easter!) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 02:22, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Animal Allegiance
Hi. You removed the attention template Animal Allegiance page, but the page was still not up to TESwiki standards, nor did it confirm to the guidelines. For example there was still instances of "You" and "Your" in there. Please check pages thoroughly before removing attention templates, thanks. Jimeee (talk) 20:09, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

in that case i am sorry, from what i read of what the template asked for the page was fixed. I keep forgetting to check for first person formatting.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:10, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Image Needed Category
Yes, it's a slow process because there are so many of those tags to remove. It's not that the Image Needed category is obsolete, it is still okay to use if someone is not sure which game the page falls under for an image; as I'm sure you've seen on many game specific pages without images. But, yes we are slowly trying to make the Image Needed category just a listing of only game specific images needed categories for organizational purposes. There is an exception with the Book pages, right now as some of them are in multiple games, so the Image Needed category is fine there until a book template can be made that includes the game specific category. You are more than welcome to help remove the Image Needed tag and replace it with the appropriate category. Thanks for your contributions and happy editing. 15:48, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. I just wanted to make sure before i did anything. my recored here on the wiki isnt the cleanest and would hate to make it worse over something silly.

Happy editing

UESP Images
Timeoin might not respond for a while as I believe he is having internet problems right now. To answer your question, firstly the reason we would rather not have UESP images on this wiki is because one of their admins made a huge noise about us adding their images (despite it being perfectly allowed). It caused a big drama and it's something we don't want to do again.

Secondly, we also don't want to seem as though we are relying on them for images, as we are a big enough site that we shold be able to get our own images. Using their stuff makes us look second best - something we don't want.

18:21, April 21, 2012 (UTC)Jimeee (talk)

thanks for the reply.

if its put that way i understand it alot better, still upset that i wont be able to help with the photos like i want to, but ill do what i can.

if that's the case ill continue to look for those other means to get those photos myself.

happy editing

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:03, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Stubs
Stubs are used for letting people know that the page needs expanding, as I'm sure you know, and there will always be some pages that will never have a lot of information on them, so if it an article looks complete and has it's infobox filled out, then you can remove the stub. 16:18, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

Tribunal Image Needed
I haven't played Tribunal so I don't know how big the add-on is, but I created the Tribunal: Image Needed category anyways. If you can find enough pages that would benefit from the tag, then we can use it. But, if there aren't many pages that would fall under Tribunal, we can just leave it in the Morrowind: Image Needed category. 02:57, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Quotes
Typically quotes are added if they are relevant to pages and not obstructive, especially character pages. We actually have a user who adds a lot of quotes to pages.

Jimeee (talk) 08:39, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

UESP Plagiarism.
I'm only gonna say this once. I just discovered you copied an entire article from UESP (Battle of the Moesring). I don't need to tell you that this is absolutely not acceptable.

NEVER copy entire articles from anywhere, it's unprofessional and it makes us look very bad. Don't do it again. Do I need to keep a closer eye on your edits? Jimeee (talk) 15:52, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * If Timeoin has spoken to you then that is fine, but you should have removed the info on the battle page rather that leaving it for someone to discover at a later date. Jimeee (talk) 08:20, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Quotes and brackets auto-filling
There is no problem adding quotes to the character pages. There is someone that has been doing quotes, but if you want to do that along with removing the Image Needed category, then that's fine. I have seen quotes on less notable character pages as well as the popular ones.

I'm not sure what the problem is with the auto-fill, it may have something to do with the wiki's javascript not working properly, but that is something that I'm not familiar with. It may also be why some people are having trouble replying to blogs and editing articles. I'll mention it to one of the more techy admins and see if it's something that can be fixed. 15:59, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks and keep doing what your doing with the edits i make. Mahking Fa!!! 00:20, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Dreugh Wax
yes there was dreugh wax in morrowind. Hope this helps!

User:Scooter4849 Mahking Fa!!! 00:06, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Helps alot, Thanks.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 00:08, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I didn't think I was but I wanted to make sure. It's probably just this tupid computer then. Morrowindman94 (talk) 15:04, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * stupid computer!:)  Morrowindman94 (talk) 15:04, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Just a reminder
You don't have to add the "Game: Image Needed" category if there is already a template on the page. The template automatically adds the appropriate "Game: Image Needed" category if there is no image uploaded to the template's image box. Thanks! 05:04, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
