Misspelled word on Serana
Hey Ebony, this is kind of stupid, but there's a misspelled word on Serana: millenia. It should be spelled millennia. Thanks, 13:07, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * separate is spelled wrong on The Towers as 'seperate.' 14:02, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ebony, if you have the time could you just unlock the Serana page in general? I would like to re-write at, as I feel the page needs to be re-developed. Thanks. Zippertrain85 (talk) 17:34, March 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I mostly just want to expand some sections like Personality, that are lacking information. I would also like to make the origins section more neutral, as it appears to be somewhat biased towards the idea that she's from the First Era. Being that this is a wiki, It should be completely neutral. Zippertrain85 (talk) 02:21, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Misspelled words
This is the section of the Towers: Heart of Lorkhan. Separate is misspelled as 'seperate.' 19:39, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it :) 21:33, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Serana
The Serana page was a featured article so the standard is quite high - a complete rewrite is likely unnecessary. The only thing missing from the page is a full list of dialogue like what we have on the Neloth page, but that is a very large task. In any case, changes should be put on the talk page or (if its a big change) sandboxed first and reviewed - because we are dealing with a Featured Article after all, and we don't have many.

Looking get Zippertrain's request: The Personality improvement section can be sandboxed or mentioned on the talkpage. The Origins section was already dealt with last year after a long discussion with a few of us on the talk page and the forum (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:380603#151) - we decided that the way we have it now is about as neutral is it is going to get and keep everyone happy. Thanks! Jimeee (talk) 11:04, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Online Books - Yeah, it looks like Tim broke something when he last edited the template. I have fixed it. Jimeee (talk) 12:19, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sorry Zipper, but I'm gonna have to agree with Jimeee on this one. The article has been nominated as being amazing, so a complete rewrite is not needed.
 * But then again, what do you think is wrong with it? 21:32, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Italicize content
I see that now thanks, it doesn't work properly on the Oblivion newspapers though. It shows code, so I have to do it the other way on those. As for the images sure if you want, but they are yellow from the light of the candles in the room and also because the walls are yellowish brown there ;) Ghost Anubis (talk) 14:05, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh lol, I just put it in the wrong spot I guess. The images though, are you using mods or something? Because I have everything maxed out on Morrowind, yet I can't really see characters eyes very well. & I wasn't the happiest with my images either, but that's how they pretty much look in my game. Also, Gimp doesn't have anything to really improve the images, it only lets me change the format, & crop & resize images. Ghost Anubis (talk) 14:17, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well that pretty much explains it then, I just went through everything in GIMP, there isn't anything to change the colors to fix it really, or to enhance the image either. So it looks like I would need to either buy what you have, or Photoshop Elements to do images in better quality :/ Ghost Anubis (talk) 15:22, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello again Ebony, check out the Urven Davor page with the new image I added. I used Adobe Photoshop for it. Looks much better to me :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 18:34, March 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you I appreciate that. And well I already have Photoshop, I think it improves my images very well. I can redo my former images if you want, I see you did a few of them, I don't know how far along you are with them. So I thought I would ask & see. Ghost Anubis (talk) 04:51, March 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't have Photoshop previously, when you recommended GIMP, I just got Photoshop earlier today :P. Okay I will fix up the rest of them then, & start adding more images. Thank you for the heads up, to be honest I'm not that experienced with images. But hopefully with experience I will get better at this. Ghost Anubis (talk) 06:52, March 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay I have replaced all of the images, I would delete the previous ones, however I cannot. Thank you for all of your help I appreciate it, the images look way better! :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 09:25, March 11, 2014 (UTC)

Low Activity
Hey Ebony, just wanted to warn an Admin that I may be low on activity for the next 2 weeks or so. I'm going to be quite busy and want to try and focus on stuff I have coming up in the outside world :P. I'll try to contribute a bit everyday, but it probably won't be as much as recent times. :) 21:55, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Chat
Hey, Its been a long time, How have you been :)

Anyway, I am sure you have seen how bad the talks about the chat have gotten. I have been looking into ways to help and I wanted to know what you thought. Besides Patrollers and admins simply being in the chats more, I cant think of any solid ways to clean it up without locking people out.

Who would i talk to about ideas to help the chat, While i love talking to people I don't want to waste their time talking about things this don't have full control over.

Anyway, hope everything is good. Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 22:16, March 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have a steam account, but i never use it, I am more of a console users. Been playing Mass effect a lot, also working on the last achievement i have on Skyrim, you would think I would have them all by now. Most of my time editing the Black sails wiki, my newest adoption.
 * I will talk to Tomb about some of the ideas I have found and looked into. A friend on another wiki said they have a system that might help, but he doesn't think it will do much. Either way, People want the chat to be cleaner, so I should do what i can to help. Thanks, and feel free to message me once and awhile, we shouldn't just talk when I need something :)-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:19, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Undelete page
Hey Ebony, could you undelete the page you just deleted? It seems you and Ghost mistook the page's title as vandalism, when the page itself was needed (see Lightning Bolt). Thanks. 23:27, March 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm certain. Thanks for restoring it. 10:12, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hey ! i dont have schol today cuz snow tempest...idk if i  can calll this like that :D 13:05, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Existing Png.files
I can understand where you're coming from with that, my whole issue with that mainly is, the name of the images, I don't want them to be TESIII Baissa.png or something like that. It doesn't look good to me, & also being I can't rename images, but to be honest I don't want to give you extra work. I don't like you having to redo my images, even though that isn't the case anymore, or having to delete previous images. So with that said, it's why I always just replaced the image entirely, so all you had to do was delete the previous image, or any other admin for that matter. But if you would prefer for me to just replace them, then I can do that. But I was just trying to give less work for the admins. Ghost Anubis (talk) 23:00, March 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay well I just replace them then, what do you mean the credit of uploading the image though? As for renaming, I didn't know if the admins would or not, & I try not to bother them about things as little as possible basically. That's true, I wasn't sure if I would be nominated to patroller though, or if I would get the support even if I was. No worries though, what if they are jpg? I can just do what I have been with those right? Because when I try replacing those, it says my png file is jpg even though it isn't, which would result in it being deleted eventually. Ghost Anubis (talk) 23:14, March 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * I see, well I wasn't badgehunting if you that's what you think, also which images did I replace that were png already? Nearly every image I saw was jpg format, that's why I replaced them. That & they didn't look good, & weren't the correct size either. But okay, well to be honest, the only two png files I recall replacing, were my own I uploaded, that were in bad quality. As for the jpg, I will continue replacing those, thanks for the heads up. Thank you for supporting me, I appreciate that, I wasn't sure how you would vote to be honest :P Ghost Anubis (talk) 23:27, March 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay good, I'm glad you know that. I told you a while back I was going to work on Morrowind a bunch, & I have started to finally. It's going to be hard though with Morrowind & ESO. But I know what you mean, you can get a feel for somebody over the internet still, I "somewhat" know you lol. But I appreciate you supporting me Ebony, I try to do my best on here, although I do make mistakes sometimes. Ghost Anubis (talk) 23:44, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE:New pages
I will get on it now. A lot of these seem to be online related articles. Do you want me to trust they are real and just make sure they are clean?-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 00:37, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Badgehunter
Hey Ebony, user Dragon shouting idiot is badgehunting, as he himself admitted to in his blog. His edits have proved minimalistic and counter-productive in nature. At this point, a block may be needed. Thanks. 02:12, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Spoilers
Hey Ebony, I was wondering how strict the spoiler policies are for the Skyrim articles are, since I added something that could be considered a spoiler of sorts on the The White Phial (Location) page. Thanks. Zippertrain85 (talk) 04:39, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

New Pages
Hey Ebony, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to patrol all new pages that I can. I have been more busy these days as a result of school and personal life, and am sorry I cannot contribute to the wiki as much as I used to, but I'll try my best.

Stros M'kai Characters
Hey Ebony, I know this must sound really pedantic, but Category:Online: Stros M'kai Characters should have a capital on the Kai. All other categories with Stros M'Kai in them have it that way and I was wondering whether there is a quick way to change it, other than simply moving all the articles in that category to a separate one. Thanks. 21:00, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like Tomb handled it :P. 11:31, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Book Images
Hello again Ebony, I have a question regarding book images, I have noticed that book images have no backgrounds, they're greyish black. Some of the ESO book pages we have, I have the images for. As well as some pages that need to be created, how do I give them the no background like that? I have never uploaded book images before. Thanks Ghost Anubis (talk) 08:20, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I may have gotten it I don't know, is the transparent background supposed to be that white & greyish one? If so, then I'm pretty sure I got it, because it has no background now, it's just completely white when I preview it. Ghost Anubis (talk) 10:52, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yup that's how it looks for me, I meant previewing it not in photoshop, but just right clicking the mouse & clicking preview, it shows up completely white there for me. I ran into somewhat of a problem though, how do you get around the books so well? I use Magic wand, & it did good, except it keeps cutting right down the center of the book every time. Ghost Anubis (talk) 11:07, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean it would end up cutting the book in half, which was no good. I got it though, it's The Buying Game Page One.png image. Look good to you? I didn't resize it or anything, so feel free to delete that image, I was just checking to see if it would work or not :P. Ghost Anubis (talk) 11:36, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks took me a while to figure it out, but I know how to do it now. I never cropped the image, I could have made it look closer, but I was beta testing the image to make sure it would work properly on the wiki. Also, because that particular book already exists with an image, unless you think I should replace the Skyrim version of the book with the ESO one. I was not planning on doing that though, but I could if you think it would look better with a slideshow of the two pages in the book. Ghost Anubis (talk) 11:53, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree I appreciate your help once again :) That's what I was thinking, that's why I wasn't planning on doing that anyways, I screenshot-ted that book just in case we didn't have it, or it was an ESO exclusive book. I didn't remember it from Skyrim or the other games tbh. I wouldn't do something like before asking one of the admins if it was alright or not first as well. Thanks for the heads up, the books I have for ESO are either two or three pages long :P Ghost Anubis (talk) 12:16, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Please protect
User_talk:KINMUNE. Some users have started asking questions on the bot's talkpage, so I've added a notice saying that the user won't respond, if page protection could be applied at sysop level, it would be much appreciated :) --Speysider Talk Page 10:22, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Is my project OK?
I know it's not really much of a project, persay, but I'm fixing the leads, adding RefIDs and missing categories, and other things like that. Is this alright with you, Tomb and the other admin and patrollers? 10:36, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Steam
Thanks I just accepted it :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 21:28, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Please
Sincerest apologies Ebony, I didn't realise you were editing them at the time. Won't happen again. Flugsmith (talk) 15:11, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll make sure just to leave it to the user who uploads them. And yeah, I wasn't really sure whether it was that Shara, but I just assumed there wouldn't be another Shara in Morrowind; with there already being 2 in the game. Wrong decision it seems. Sorry again. Flugsmith (talk) 15:17, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Was the problem an "edit conflict"? If so, doesn't it post your edit which got overwritten at the bottom of the article, so that you can copy and paste it back in? Or was it not an edit conflict. Flugsmith (talk) 15:33, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh right, yeah I've done that before myself. I also know how annoying it can be when you are trying to add a big section to the text when someone edit conflicts you with a grammar change. So again, apologies. You won't have to worry about it happening again :P. Flugsmith (talk) 15:41, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Disambig
Well... no, not really.

So it should probably be under the one page then. With a small section for the Arena bit (really, its just the picture?) And yay! You like the pictures :) Did you add me recently? (I honestly have no idea who half the people on my FB are lol). Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 15:11, March 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aaah, okay. I was only wondering because I thought my profile was private (fb probably undid that in an update a while ago). Whilst I'm here though... What should we do about the Long Lost Lore problem? (3 slightly different quests (locations are different due to the restrictions on locations) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 00:28, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Haha. Well... I'm pretty easy to find, and I accept everyone if I have some idea where I know them from lol. As for the quest... It's Mages Guild quest, but there's 3 versions of it as there are three factions. (they can't all go to a Glenumbra dungeon, for example). On a different note altogether... What do you think of User:Timeoin/Languages Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 14:26, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Images
Sure, no problem. I'll try to label them as presented in-game, list the licenses, upload in .png, and double-check to see if they're not already on the wiki. Lone Wolf15 (talk) 15:17, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

Help with Online characters
Hey Ebony, I've been creating and editing lots of Online character pages, but I seem to be the only one. Almost everyone else is doing locations and adding maps to articles, such as yourself.

it would be great if you could get a patroller or someone to help with the character pages. I feel a little overwhelmed right now.

That would be great :)   18:23, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

My explanation
I sent this message to everyone who needs to know, needs to understand:

All will be explained below, everything from my annoying edits to why I seem like such a jerk.

Intro
I've pretty much been yelled at for literally everything but fixing leads and correcting grammar. I have no future, no reputation, and no friends, but at this point, I'm so screwed over and my karma is so low, I don't care  about what people think of me. I think being an overenthusiastic newb for too long has really destroyed my patience and tolerance for the largest spectrum of criticisms anyone has ever gotten on this wiki. I'll follow whatever rules you give me, but don't expect me to go hunting new ones. To make myself more well-liked,  I tried butt-kissing, looking at the guidelines, trying to redeem myself via chat, trying to come up with one good idea. Nothing's worked so far.

The annoying "badgehunting" edits
To explain my annoying edits, from December to now, it's pretty simple

Back last September sometime, my parents decided they wanted to prevent me from editing. Then, in December, I rediscovered the wiki and made 200 edits in one day. I went up 116 spaces on the Leaderboard that day. I love editing so much, I was being carried away. It was easy to do this on Wikipedia, where I come from, where everyone is a robot and could care less what you do. I made lots of minor edits in the beginning so the pages would sound better to me, like adding commas and such.

I was badgehunting in the beginning, not knowing it was against the rules, until I'm pretty sure you told me not to.

As I said, I was an overenthusiastic newb with no real experience. I always wanted to help, and as I wanted to more and more, the more trouble I got in:

I had no idea at the time how people were sensitive about their edits. I was reviewing the pages, I wasn't even changing their edits most of the time. However, many people, including me, sometimes have a panic attack or get pissed when someone edits their page. It was hard to step into peoples' shoes online for the first month and a half or so.

To explain why I never used to respond to your messages, that's because I never checked my talk page. When I was adding intro sentences to book you and Jimeee started raving! However, I didn't see their messages, so I was blocked for not responding to their messages, basically.

The second time around was because everyone was sick and tired of me (duh), I was deleting messages on my talk page, 'harassing' Ghost (he edited a lot, so I 'reviewed' his pages a lot), and people thought I was 'badgehunting' again, even though I was really adding ref ids, creating pages, and adding categories to Morrowind articles. I was blocked again, and then I...well, cried, and wondered what it was I was doing wrong, again.

The deleting the talk page messages
You know when you delete old email messages in your inbox, that's what I was doing with the messages. I was adding them to my archive, because I didn't know how to add messages to an archive (I admit I still don't). When Zipper sent me the heads-up, I thought he meant deleting my messages on HIS talk page and replacing them with new ones (I did this on one message because I changed my mind). Then, Zipper, who got all angry, reported me to TombRaiser, which inspired others to report me. Then, all those who I had accused of badgehunting because I was angry I had been accused so many times and the people who thought I was stalking them (pretty much everybody), and all them really wanted me gone.

I didn't check my talk page the second time, and Tomb blocked me. That was the time I cried

Why I seem like a dick
I seem like a dick because I felt hostility towards me so much, I radiated hostility in such large amounts, many were alarmed by the rudeness and hatred from my side, and thought 'look, a gigantic a-hole. Wonderful.' Everyone always expects a courteous answer, and I've learned that. It must have spread through the forums like wildfire, because all the forum mods were permanently attached to my ass for around two months, even though I'd never even stepped foot in the forums for well over a month from when I started editing a lot. Even on chat, I've had battles with people, because I really hate teasing. Once, I got SO tired of it at school, I threatened my friends with not being friends anymore if they kept teasing me. It's probably one of my least favorite things in the world.

The Ghost Anubis Incident
I'm sure you all know about when everyone thought I was harassing Ghost Anubis. He merely edited a lot, so I edited his pages a lot. I had no idea that he wanted to leave because of this. This made me really feel bad, so that's right about the time I apologized to him, and I found out about the talk all about me all around.

Ill fated projects
My very lame projects have included adding intro sentences to book pages (was blocked), badgehunting (was in serious trouble), adding refids and such to Morrowind character pages (blocked), reviewing pages (blocked), chat (got them pissed), and Online pages (trouble). I can never settle on anything, because I'm so closely monitored, almost anything I do gets me into trouble. I honestly have no idea what to do. Ive asked multiple users, yet no one can give me an adequate answer.

Please, if you want any further explanation, or you felt I left something out, I'll be sure to answer whatever questions you have. I'm tired of people not understanding what the hell I'm doing all the time  21:15, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

Misstake in bugs
Hey Ebony, I noticed a mistake on the Bugs section of the page for Erandur but don't have permission to correct it. Part of it reads "To fix this, sprint into him to back him stumble backwards, up the stairs.", when it should be "To fix this, sprint into him to make him stumble backwards, up the stairs. Thanks!

dude... Why remove the images? Are you going to replace them..?

On the Skyshards. Perhaps "Spoilers" but since they were just thumbnails, you can't really see much on them WITHOUT clicking.... Going to fix it? Andozer75 (talk) 18:53, March 23, 2014 (UTC)Andozer75


 * EDIT: Fair enough about the copyright thing. You have good reasons yea. "Dude - dudette" sorry if you find that offensive, but I hope you understand some basic slang. Going to replace them with something different. Andozer75 (talk) 13:11, March 24, 2014 (UTC)Andozer75
