Collaborative project
Hej, I think that's a great idea. I'll be glad to help as much as I can, though I can't speak for the rest of the guild.

But sadly I doubt I'll be around for the moot, as it's a bit too late, at least this week. (The time here is UTC+2 in the summer due to daylight saving. From what I found out it would even be 3am for me.) I hope someone else of the guild will be around, though. Mondblueme (talk) 19:23, June 26, 2015 (UTC)Mondblueme

Request for some advice
I began editing a small Wikia a few weeks ago. The moderator there behaves like a vandal. He reverts almost all edits made by other users on articles. He doesn't follow any guidelines described in best moderator practices. He starts edit wars, ending them in his favor by imposing IP blocks of absurd durations. He put a two-week block on me over a minor dispute about an image. After that ban expired I went to his talk page, saying that he should at least open up a discussion about the issue on that article's talk page. He blocked my IP for a year - yes, a year - and then falsified his own talk page, rephrasing my posts. I kid you not.

This psychopath doesn't intimidate me, but I've never delt with something like this. Do you have advice on how to best approach the situation? Do I write a mail to Wikia's community support or something? Any basic tips would be appreciated. Thanks. Arshudar Al-Muhdarin (talk) 16:41, June 27, 2015 (UTC)

Moot timezones
When you have time, could you look over the timezone chart on the Moot page? I think it might be incorrect.

Re: Skyrim Guild
Hey Atvel! I'd be most willing to help out in any way I can, and with Jarjarkine's support as the guild's supervisor I think I can step up to the role if you need me to. I know how you feel but ESO will need to take priority from those who play it as it's a new area for the wiki and there's much more to do- I'm so glad to have users like yourself who play ESO and contribute ESO information to the wiki :) I know it's going to be a huge help if I ever decide to get into ESO in the future haha! But until then, I'll help all I can with the Skyrim stuff!

Oh on a sidenote, were you still going with the Timeline link replacement stuff or has that been completed already?


 * Wow that's some incredible work on the dialogue man o__o And I'm in love with the quotes table!! Please tell me I can start spreading that over other character pages like a plague? Haha, I'll see if I can find anything else to add but it looks thoroughly comprehensive to me!
 * Thanks for letting me know :) Sad to see you step down, I hope I can do as well as you did with the Guild! There are a lot of projects on the list to get through for Skyrim still. Good luck with the ESO work!

Renaming a page
The name for the page about the war between Pact/Covenant/Dominion in ESO is currently "Three Banners War", however I've been unable to find this war called that anywhere in-game. The only thing I could find was an item called "Outdated Map of Tamriel", which refers to the war as the "Alliance War".

"This map was drawn before the Alliance War began, however it still accurately depicts geography and distance."

I wanted to clear it with you before renaming the page, since I know a lot of pages currently direct to "Three Banners War" and I don't know what it'll do to those pages.  DRAEVAN13  22:24, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

Filter disabled
Good morning. I hope that you are well and doing okay. I was just looking around the wiki to catch up on some stuff, and noticed Filter 13 was disabled. As it is a private filter and was created by myself, I am just curious to the reasoning behind it being disabled on the wiki, as it seemed to prevent a lot of obvious vandalism. Thank you for your time. --Sajuuk 09:42, June 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why it should be doing that. I checked the filter on my sandbox wiki (since you can't physically remove a filter from AbuseFilter) and it's only going to check added lines (aka, lines added in the newer diff), so it shouldn't be blocking normal edits if a category isn't being added to the page. And it's also set to only work on anons as well, so no idea what's happened with the filter.
 * It's possible someone else came along and made an edit that broke the conditions, although I can't confirm it either. You would need to use the edit examiner tool on some edits that got caught by that filter and find out what it says for "added_lines" for a selection of edits and seeing if they're actually adding a category.
 * Hopefully the anonymous don't catch wind of the filter being disabled and start vandalising the wiki. --Sajuuk 15:58, June 30, 2015 (UTC)

I notice what you did recently on the page 'Lamia (Online)'. Why did you delete the pic? It's concept art of the actual Lamia from the game located in the book included with the Imperial Edition of the game!

On Moot Leader
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but if you need to freshen up on the rules of being Moot Leader, you can read over the first log we put in, but I'm sure you'll do fine. I'll see if I can make it tomorrow, as July 4th isn't exactly an English holiday, but don't hold me to that. In fact, I wouldn't blame you guys if you wanted to skip this one.

Help With Putting Map Images Onto Skyrim Articles
Hello Atvelonis,

I have been trying to add map images from the elder scrolls v: skyrim to a bunch of skyrim articles that need map images located here http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Skyrim:_Map_Image_Needed. The problem im having is none of the images i try to put in the article are showing up correctly, i was aware of how to do this in the past but due to rl i was unable to continue being active and have since forgotten how to do things particularly the above as stated. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

TessaVarzi (talk) 06:27, July 4, 2015 (UTC)TessaVarzi

O_o Stupid porn pictures
Sorry to interupt Atlevon

Are these kind of pictures legal to be here  http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFiles

Well as we could see, they're coming from these users http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Ozc5mcz & http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:M4gwi8c

Again i'm so sorry to interupt  HÞXΠ  May Peace Be Upon You ✯|undefined  13:00, July 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * They were added to various wiki pages luckily i noticed when they started and removed them almost as soon as the were added and reported those two on vandalism page, although i think its probably the same person as soon as i reported the one they stopped and the other started. AzuraKnight (talk) 13:09, July 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Glad i'm not the only one who noticed this, I personally don't understand what those fool were trying to do, what benefit would they got after uploading such things.....Respect....?!? yeah right   HÞXΠ  May Peace Be Upon You ✯|undefined  13:22, July 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * One of the images has been uploaded again (Flightmare removed the ones from earlier and banned the uploaders). AzuraKnight (talk) 15:41, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

Vandal
I noticed a user called User:Oblivionluver has been vandalizing images in a couple articles. I remember they made some sort of revision a couple days ago the the Follower (Skyrim) article, but did not notice what they did to an image until today after i noticed what they did to another image in the beastfolk article. I almost didn't notice that either. Lets just say the alterations they made to the images would have been rather inappropriate for younger viewers. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 03:08, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Also Skyrimluver i still think they still may be the same person on different ip's, the two who got blocked earlier and Sykrimluver all up loaded the same porn image. They appear to now be blocked in some way but the altered images are still on the server. AzuraKnight (talk) 10:41, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

Images
I have a question, how do users gain png images of weapons/armour like the one here? 18:12, July 18, 2015 (UTC)

Eye of Argonia and Team Online
It is community made, but it was implemented into the official launcher as something that could be optionally downloaded. Bethesda changed how Daggerfall could be downloaded a few months ago because with their previous installer users needed Administrator permission to work.

As for Team Online, I suggest you try the game out first and see if it works/if you're interested, though I will add you to the members list right now. It is a great game, it only got bad reviews when it was first released. The game runs at an average 50 - 60 FPS on Ultra for me and I use a fairly good laptop, so if you're using a custom-built gaming computer (especially with the specs you chose) I'm sure you'll have no trouble. For pictures, my computer takes them in 1920x1080, so when I crop them to 600x1000 they look fairly good (here's an example). I will warn you though, you can't freeze the game to move around and take pictures, every photo needs to be taken before the target moves. There's also people running around all the time in cities so they might get in the way. For specific projects, I'd say quests and locations. Locations usually just need maps, but quests are important since they need walkthroughs.

Also, for Template:Stub, I was thinking of replacing the Elder Scroll photo with File:Broken iron sword hilt.png. It just make more sense, as a stub is an incomplete page. The elder scroll and broken sword are complete opposites; the elder scroll contains endless divine knowledge while the sword is an incomplete weapon. I plan on taking a different picture of the sword so it shows as horizontal or diagonal, but let me know what you think. ☞ Rim < Talk 00:47, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Checking In
Hey there Atvelonis. My brief hiatus from the wiki is over and I was looking over Moot results and logs (Part of me kind of knew Sajuuk would be back), and I'm digging what I'm seeing in the updates. I don't have an official concern to post here but I did notice you want to get more people involved in the Moot and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to help with the page itself (revisions maybe?) or promoting the thing? If you have it well in hand, that's cool too. I'll do my best to make this next Moot as a spectator, or if necessary, Moot Leader once again, but I wouldn't put all your eggs in that basket just yet. One more thing...

Dude, did someone totally post porn pics on here? XD

Vandal
User:RenzXVI brought user HelBOi! to my attention. They created this page THE SKIN,IT'S MEANING, and has been trolling in chat. I put a delete template in the nonsense page, and they keep removing it, becoming edit warring. This HelBOi! messaged me saying that somebody supposedly hijacked his account, but i have no way to prove that. I have my doubts. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 16:01, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Minor chat
Hey, I just wanted to ask if we could chat about something. It's minor and you may have noticed it already, but I just want to bring it to the attention of a sysop here, so it can be passed on to the others. --Sajuuk 18:12, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

From Kora
(This is a long message, I'm sorry bad habit)

Hey Altvelonis, I want to say I really, really appreciate what you've said. To be honest I didn't want to make the thread right yet, because I wanted to be able to have a bit more "ammo" and some sort of support, so I can have a better reason. Guess it's too late now xD Also, like many others I first noticed this wiki, because of it's awesome rp threads. You know, like the one-word story rp's and all that stuff? I didn't even have an account then, but I was here when those were still around, and that's why I used to love this wiki. Then I left for a while, came back, and see that..there isn't a lot going on. I mean I use the articles and all sometimes whenever I try and explain lore to my friend and help her better understand it, but like a lot of people said, the Rp's were what drawed them here in the first place, and helped them stay. If the rp is moved, then what use is it for them to stay here? What use does it even have being here if it's so limited?

I don't know...I mean I just saw the "sweetroll rp" closed, just the same as monitor's was. Same reason. Why can't people just get rid of the notifications and leave it that way? The wiki would have a lot more people, which equals  a lot more editing and ideas. I mean...last thing I want to do is to sound needy, but I need some support out there, because I know why it should be but I just find it hard to explain, if that makes some sense? (I really don't wanna make a fool out of myself since I just got here and am really trying hard to be good xD) The vote isn't looking too good, but I wanna be able to find a way to pick it up again, because I feel like there could be some other way than the "comprimise". But if you don't want to, I understand completely. Sorry for the "super long dramatic message" and all of that xD But yeah, I really thank you for telling me that, it lifted up my mood, and it's good to know that atleast someone agrees.

Minor Explination
Hey Atvelonis, I saw your post to Kora and Monitor about their CT. The issue of the flooding from the RPs was not about the mainspace edits being pushed aside because, as you yourself pointed out, they can be filtered. The problem was that the RP activity took up like 90% of the whole Forum activity. There is no way to filter specific boards out of the Recent Changes so it made the job of the Forum Mods much harder, I know from experience as I was a Forum Mod at the time. 14:49, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Hello Aeathel (talk) 20:01, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

thanks for correcting me on Shadow of Conflict.

(LordPicard (talk) 04:21, August 7, 2015 (UTC))


 * This was brought up a few months ago during the CT. We learned that it is not something that can be done on our end, only Wikia could change that. I believe that and Admin did contact them and they said they were not interested in doing that because it would require them to re-do a lot of programing on their forums, which would cost time and money.
 * The color thing would made it easier to see the RPs but ultimately wouldn't solve the problem, the flooding of the forum activities. However I think it is possible to do this color thing by messing with our Wiki's code. Don't know if it is allowed by Wikia, though.
 * At the RP Board's peak it there were over 20 active RP threads a day, meaning hundreds of new posts a day. Hell, popular RP threads could easily get over 200 posts in a day. I personally witnessed a thread that got over 500 in two days.
 * I think a new compromise is unecessary. Almost all the RPers that were active back during the Hub vote have already moved on, either to the Sandbox or to another side. The remaining RPers here are very few, most of which joined up after the Hub Vote. Which explains why they are unaware of the events of a few months ago. I can personally testify for all the Sandbox users in that they don't intend to come back to RPing here should the restriction be lifted or lightened. Increasing the number of active RP here, while it would not bring back old users, would slowly increase the new RP community that has formed here. RPers are very passionate about their hobby so I garrantee that if the restriction is lightened, in a few months they will request the number of active RPs to increase again...and then again a few months later, etc. A new RP community would grow and eventually this Wiki would be right back at how it was a few months ago, with 90% of the Forum Activities consisting of RP threads. Causing the same situation from the Hub vote to happen again. 10:59, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Help with your book
Hey Atvelonis, I finally found my book to help with Infernal City but I was going to ask if it is okay for me to start where you left off? I didnt know how else to contact you but Ive heard that whenever two people edit it can sometimes cause issues if they do it at the same time. --Kora Stormblade (talk) 18:00, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

Reply to feedback.
Hello! I just saw your message because I had been away from home for some time. Thank you, knowing that your work is useful makes you feel great and knowing how to improve it is very useful. I really appreciate it! :)

About the images, I was told they had to be uploaded 600x1000 and that I could get that size editing with paint. That's what I've been doing, but they do look kind of distorted sometimes, Fafnyr isn't that fat. ): You mentioned cropping the image would make it look better, can you tell me more about how to do that?

Thank you once again. :)

Re: All-Maker
The deities template seems to be more in reference to the gods stated in Varieties of Faith in the Empire. The All-Maker does not see widespread worship in Nordic culture, so it probably shouldn't be included in the Template.

Need Help Editing
Hello Atvelonis, I need some help on a wiki sanbox page to add new information that Kora Stormblade and I have been testing. It is going to be on the Horse (Skyrim) page to post that some horses at stables respawn after they die. The last sandbox page you gave me I forgot to save it. I will need help on setup and placing it in the correct page. Also if you could help test the PC portion of it, and I will make sure that if you do to give you credit on your work. Testing on the XBox 360 is mostely complete, we just need to test Riften Stables. I also need a person to test on PS3 for me, so if you know someone please let me know so I can get in contact with them. Thanks for reading this.

Thank you

TES novels
I saw in the weekly update that you are reading the TES novels, and will add content to the wiki about them. I have already read both books, and would like to help you out with the project. Emperor Maximus (talk) 10:45, August 11, 2015 (UTC)

Hall of Valor & Sovngarde
Hey, Atvelonis. I hope you are enjoying your trip and I know you are probably too busy to read this. I edited the pages Hall of Valor and Sovngarde and subsequently realized they were meant to be lore pages. I edited them to have the proper Skyrim infoboxes and Location IDs. I believe we should have separate pages for them as they are in the game, and as lore. Thoughts?

Thanks. — AutoBlood  Talk  01:49, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
