Is there any way you could upload a larger image, that image seems a little small for the page...Mask2697 (talk) 20:03, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

'''The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:30, June 16, 2012 (UTC) Sure, I could get a bigger picture. Thanks for the info.'''

Re:Wait, you were an Admin
Timeoin nominated me for bureaucratship back in March. The editors of the wiki decided I fit the bill, so bureaucrat I became. Would I say it's much different? In terms of editing responsibility, no. Basically, the only difference between bureaucrats and admins is the bureaucrat's promote other users to rollback, admin, and bureaucrat. In Timeoin's eyes, a bureaucrat also helps with the structure of the wiki, not just the enforcement of policy. I've been writing various help pages and setting up other behind the scenes things on the wiki for a very long time, even before this bureaucrat business. All in all, it's not much different. People tend to have this misconception that bureaucrats "own the wiki" or are "immune" from bans / messing things up. This isn't true. We're editors just like everyone else, who know the wiki (and wikis in general) well enough to be given a few more tools.

At any rate, I'm also an admin at The Chrono Wiki. Although the community split away from Wikia, I still contribute over there at the new wiki. The nickname "Radical D" or "RadD" for short (you may see me on the IRC with that name sometimes) came from that wiki. Radical D is a play on words, a combination of my ordinary name "Deyvid" and Radical Dreamers, a game in the Chrono series. -- 16:45, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, can I convince you to place your signature at the end of your talk page comments? Placing it at the beginning is poor wiki etiquette. Plus, it makes your comments difficult to read. -- 16:46, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Categories in user pages
That category shouldn't really be in use by anyone. It is an old category that was made back in 2009 and only one person was using it. Obviously everyone that has an account here is a TES Wikian. I don't see any purpose in the category and it will be deleted. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:20, July 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can have user categories on user pages. Categories that are used on mainspace articles are not to be used in user pages, such as the TESWiki Good Articles category, which is one of the categories I removed from your page. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:32, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Books
Hi, we had a consensus last year and and it was decided that the lead sentence "pagename is a book in "Game" should be removed as there is a link at the top of the page leading to the main books. Only if there is something special we add sentance there, eg it's a book in a series. Unfortunately it isn't mentioned in the policy yet but I'm working on it. 09:44, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, thank you for notifying me, I was wondering why my edit was reverted. I'll keep it in mind next time. ☞ Яǐɱ ( Chat with Meh ) ( Updates )

Images
Hello, I just wanted to say that when adding images, please add the correct licensing template such as on them. I've seen the template on some of the images you added but not all of them. Also, once you've added the images please add the correct categories onto them. Such as Category:Daggerfall: Map Images for images from the ingame map and Category:Daggerfall: Character Images for images of the characters in Daggerfall. I just wanted to let you know as I had to add the licensing templates and the categories on your images. Thanks :P. Fire Wolf Pup (talk) 08:02, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re:New Template I made
Hi Rim, it looks good. I made a few changes in the code. Go ahead and use it. 05:28, September 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. I'm also going to make one for continents.

Patroller
Hello, I saw your message to Spey regarding him becoming a Patroller here. To get Patroller the user must first be nominated by a Patroller or an Admin. Secondly they must edit the mainspace often & help users with policy & revert vandalism, Spey & I have spoke about this before, as of right now Spey is not eligible for Patroller as he doesn't meet the requirements, nor does he do the tasks necessary of becoming one.

Re: Small Question
Because that page covers the Daggerfall version of the bow, there is no reason to state the other versions when it's talking about a game-specific version of an item. That's why I don't like the separated pages. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 06:24, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because the style guidelines are wrong. The appearances section is there for depicting a specific version of the item in a game, it is unnecessarily confusing to readers to state that a specific variant of an item appears in other games, because they do not (have you ever seen a Daggerfall or Morrowind variant of Auriel's Bow within Skyrim? Nope). If this was the main page, then it'd be fine to list all game appearances because that's a general overview page, but this is a subpage that only covers one variant in one game: therefore, there is no reason to state that a Daggerfall variant of Auriel's Bow appears in Skyrim or Morrowind, because it doesn't. This is a mistake of the guidelines and I would actually advise it be fixed, but I would wait until new style policies are written before doing this, since the current policies are being scrapped anyway. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 06:42, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Need to know if this image is reliable
Hi Rim, sorry to not reply at once. I had a look at the Imperial Library, I couldn't find a TOU there, I'm pretty sure they have had it before. I'm not really sure what type of Copyright Template to use to be honest. But a link back to the Imperial Library is necessary. I'll get back to you when I know more. -- EbonySkyrim  Message!  00:16, September 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Which article is it you are using the image for? EbonySkyrim   Message!  10:19, September 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes you can use the image and use the, then add Courtesy of imperial library or Source them with a link back.  EbonySkyrim   Message!  11:06, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Congratulations on MOTM!
Hey thanks Rim, I appreciate the sweetroll & for saying I have been doing a good job. The new month approaches though, & we will need to be on the look out for the next MOTM :) & don't worry, non staff can give out sweet rolls or fishy sticks too.

Images
Hi Rim, I've seen you are starting to upload images for Morrowind. We do have a standard on the wiki for images. Please read in the media policy about standard size for characters and using the png format instead of jpg. It also is a good idea to have a standard for location images, such as the landscape type like this size Ghost uses File:Hlaalu Ancestral Vaults.png and here is one for character. File:Vaval Orethi.png. Look at my images as well and you see I also use the same size for all types of locations/quests and so on. Any questions, come to me or Ghost.

 * Hey Rim, they look much better I think. But maybe still a bit distorted, this is hard I know, it's a trial and error thing. But they are much better. :) EbonySkyrim   Message!  17:01, October 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Rim, I'm reminding you about the image size. You did well with the characters in Morrowind but that applies for ESO too. Look at my character I just uploaded after you. File:Lagbuga gra-Rug.png. EbonySkyrim   Message!  23:38, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Disambig
Hey Rim, :) I've changed the "for template" on the Ogre. When there is only 2 on the disambig, it shouldn't have been created and will be deleted as soon as we fixed the links. So link to the other instead. :) EbonySkyrim   Message!  10:11, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Projects
Hi Rim, good to have projects. I'm wondering though, where do you get the images from on the fooditems? Theb´n the Sweetroll page that was/is a disambig.. is that the main page now? For Sweetrolls? EbonySkyrim  Message!  23:22, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I managed to find this template for Redguard characters, although it might be easier to start fresh with a new template (and call it "RedguardNPCs", similar to the other character infoboxes). --Shockstorm (talk) 02:44, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about their TOU but you have to link back to them on each image, that it's taken from there. Also, please add the category: "Online: Item Image" on each too. EbonySkyrim   Message!  03:28, October 26, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Unused redirects
Which is why I left the "King of Worms" redirect alone. Many unused redirects are deleted each day, all of them by the admins, but for some reason you're only posting on my talk page about this. Anyways, they can decide whether or not to delete them - I'm just nominating them as something to delete. All of this, coupled with your needlessly condescending tone and your own tagging of unused redirects for deletion, makes me wonder whether if I'm supposed to take your message seriously. --Shockstorm (talk) 05:04, October 27, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Some things regarding the wiki
Hi Rim. There never where any specific badges for the earlier games, that started after Skyrim came out I think. They have been disabled long before I got here in January 2012. The badges used in those days where all general and worked across all games. So adding some now for Arena, Daggerfall, Redguard and Battlespire is not anything that is possible I'm afraid. Regarding the IRC, it will stay until further notice, the staff have somewhat used it from time to time. Although it was Elchzard who managed it when he was a sysop and crat, but as he now have moved on.. with studies and have no time for the wiki, well it's not going away because of that. EbonySkyrim  Message!  20:55, November 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Rim, I can understand what you mean. But we are not going to create new badges for old games because there are 3-4 users that are adding to them now. EbonySkyrim   Message!  20:39, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Characters
Hi Rim, please don't add in the lead or the gender, always add a stub if there is something missing. Also, characters should only be categorized in the city where they are. I've edited some, Alisewen, Almion and Altininde. If the character is in several places, like the ones that are in all for the main quest, then you add categories for all places. But if a character is only in Windhelm, then you add only windhelm character. Not the region, that is only if the character isn't in any town.. but out in the terrain. EbonySkyrim  Message!  13:04, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Marking pages for delete
Hey Rim. Just a note. Before marking pages with the delete template, you should be sure you've fixed the links on articles that once linked to the Ice Wolf (Skyrim) page. This is not an "unused redirect" as you have marked it, as it still links to articles, so it is in use. Thanks, and also wanted to tell you that you're doing a good job with all the other articles you've been working on. Keep up the good work! :) —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  06:06, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

Don't panic, TheDestroyer111 noticed this is just some fan art!
TheDestroyer111 from now on sees that only official images/tes game screenshots are allowed on articles, but, due to the fact that there are lots of not surely official concept arts on this wiki's articles, TheDestroyer111 has made it properly this time: he has written under the pictures in the article about Kagrenac that they are just pieces of fan art, so TheDestroyer111 hopes that you won't delete them but leave them since TheDestroyer111 has noticed that they are just some fan art. And if there is still something wrong, you can always specify it on TheDestroyer111's message board, so that he knows what to improve. No, TheDestroyer111 doesn't want to fill your wiki with hunks of junk, he has only seen it that articles with no pictures are not interesting at all, and when no official photos are availible, TheDestroyer111 schoarches the internet in search for some nice/colorful fan art.

P.S. TheDestroyer111 is a Khajiit, so don't worry about speaking of himself in 3'rd person. TheDestroyer111 (talk) 12:21, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's disruptive and makes people more inclined to assume you are a troll and not take you very seriously (in fact, it's more likely people will see you as being someone who has no regard for policy). It was a request because I personally do not like people using roleplay aspects when talking about policy violations, he can choose to ignore the request or actually make himself look like a serious editor. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 17:22, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * But anyways, isn't there lots of non-banned fan-made concept art on the armor pages (especially those about skyrim armors)? If they are fan-made, and not banned, then why did you and someone else i forgot say that i can't use fan arts on articles?


 * P.S. I would like to communicate via chat, but the ScholarOfTheScrolls has perma-banned me from chat for (that's typical to him) using the chat for what it should be used i.e. discussing what article changes should be made.


 * TheDestroyer111 (talk) 08:13, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

Image quality
Hi Rim, please add the template to the image itself, not in the article. I know that Ghost has added it a couple of time but that isn't the custom way here to do it. This is what is said on the page: "Images populated here are in need of a new high quality image. To add an image to this category, please use the template . A reason can also be written in by using the pipe character. Example: ." So please add it to the image file instead. EbonySkyrim  Message!  06:42, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

An Apology Is In Order
Hello The Rim of the Sky! Recently on TombRaiser's Talk Page, I made an allegation that you may be Badge-Hunting. I saw that you were adding quite a lot of pages and it occured to me that you may be trying to get badges (something that I've encounter of an different wiki before). However, I am new to this wiki and therefore, not very knowledable of it yet. In an reply on my Talk Page, she made it aware to me that "We have very few members that add new ESO content, so that's why it might seem odd to only see one or two people adding Elder Scrolls Online content. So, he is helping the wiki by creating these pages."

Had I had that information, that to me up to that point was un known, I would not have made that allegation. Therefore I apologize for making the aforementioned allegation that could have resulted in an unspesified consequence(s).

Please be aware that this allegation was not personal, but rather an concern of an new user. Deads26 (talk) 23:14, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's strange, could have sworn that it was in the Imperial City. When I thought of it at first, I thought, "Oh, I remember Eastern Elsweyr Gate when I played Obliivion on the PC." Don't know why I thought of that.
 * Well. Learn something new everyday! ^_^
 * Now, for ESO, is it like Runescape in an sense? Can you just attack random players when they're not in an city or town? Or is that just in sieges? --Deads26 (talk) 23:32, November 29, 2014 (UTC)I just saw your tag that you're ;Agnostic. <3. I'm not alone. Deads26 (talk) 06:57, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Okay.. I know you said..
Okay, I know you said not to make new sections, just to edit the section that's already there and put an colon in front of the message. So I did, previewed it and saw no difference. Saw I then used the ident marker. Published my response. Then it was clear the it was off. So I deleted my signature, copy and pasted the message, added my sig. and previewed. Again, no difference. So I figure, "Okay.. I got my colon infront of there, so I guess it'll work when I publish it." NOOOOOOOOOPE. Now it's even more messed up. Would you mind explaining it more? I'd asked the Admins, but I've bothered them enough for now. Deads26 (talk) 07:03, November 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay. So.. like this :D? Deads26 (talk) 07:42, November 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay. So should we declare the article an stub? I believe more we can add, not sure what though. Deads26 (talk) 08:45, November 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey. I've got an ideal on how to expand that article. So let's forget about making it an stub for now. Deads26 (talk) 10:06, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rim, you should upload a new version of an image if there is a png already. Sometimes it's fine but as of the Dealer, you could have done this. If you think the name of the file isn't what it should be just let me know and I can rename it. EbonySkyrim  Message!  08:14, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
