Splitting the Mod article
Sure, I'll help with splitting that article. And, in the future, I'll create a whole new article for one particular mod. Right? D3T&amp;FS (talk) 22:11, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hooray!
I can see my messages again! lol.

Um ... yeah, theres not much that needs to be done. I have the code that the COD wiki's using for their little blackout. As far as I know, they're going on blackout in just under an hour. :) Other than correcting me if that is wrong, theres not much to be done? (Also, as an aside, we might finally have zero wanted pages at daychange tomorrow :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 23:08, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * IRC: Kaishiro expanded the page a little while ago to give more information about what it was. The link is in the top line :) Also, when you get online, speak to Kaishiro - theres a link he has to the full x-chat version (that doesnt expire) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 02:58, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

 * If THAT doesnt work, go to |The Switch website, and where it says "join chatroom", do that. Then, once you're in, type /join #TESWiki and you're in :) (they're both on the Xertion network) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 03:10, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the problem is at your end (I've tried a number of different combinations, and they all work fine from here - ive got a few others to do the same). Er - clear your cache, maybe? I'm unsure why its not working :( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 03:31, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Residual Blackout
I assume the Sopa blackout is officially over because some pages are viewable again. That said, after clearing my cache, I'm still seeing lots of residual black pages. Examples include this one, this one, and this one. I don't know if this is a sitewide issue, or an issue with my computer, but I though I would let you know. 69.134.29.102 22:37, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry to hear you're still experiencing after-effects of the blackout. Yesterday, I was unable to edit certain pages, as they were still black. Currently, I can view and edit all of the pages you linked to. I would try clearing your cache again, maybe updating your browser, then restarting your computer. This seemed to resolve my issue. Hope this helps. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  22:42, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ban
I kinda wanted to clear the air a bit on my ban regarding Ancano. I'm very new to these Elder Scrolls wiki sites, any wiki site for that matter, and to be honest there wasn't a whole lot of thinking going on at the time of my post (other than that some might really get a kick out of this because of Ancano's irritating personality). I'm so used to sites like Reddit, where I don't have to worry about things being innapropriate.

It wasn't until i logged on to add a photo of Gissur and saw my ban that I really stopped to think about the different genders and age groups logging onto this site everyday. And I know it could have gone without saying that I have learned my lesson from all this, but I figured coming on here and brown nosing would go a lot further. That's if I'm doing this right (I'm not used to sites wtihout inboxes and what not). So that's my apalogy, take it how you may. If this doesn't suffice then hopefully my full days work of (proper) page editing will.

Book Categories
Hey Deyvid, I've been uploading a lot of books, letters, and notes lately. While categorising them, I've noticed that we have some book categories that have few or no pages on them except for the template messages page (such as Book Covers). If nobody has any objections, I'm going to mark these categories for deletion. There is also an unofficial category for Book Characters (characters who are only present in story form within a book). Two of the four pages listed have a decent amount of information on them. Do we want to maintain this category? If not, would you suggest that the category for these pages be changed to Characters? Finally, as you know, the primary categories for books are: Books, Book Images, Skyrim: Books, and Category:Skyrim: Books Images. There is also an unofficial Skyrim: Book Images category. To be consistent, I would like to see the unofficial category become the official one if you have no objection. I can make all the page changes. Let me know if that's ok, and I will go about making the changes to all the pages that refer to Skyrim: Books Images. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 19:32, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can I talk you into letting me officially create, format, and categorize the Skyrim: Book Images category page? I would be more than willing to do that and transfer the 79 images from the Category:Skyrim: Books Images category. ( :D Just think how it would help add to my edit count.) Then the category wouldn't be a double plural and would then be consistent with the Book Images category. The only thing that would be left for you to do (I think) is delete Category:Skyrim: Books Images. Pleeez? GramsJ (talk) 21:21, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Deyvid. I apologize for being such a pest. I didn't mean for you to do it. GramsJ (talk) 21:42, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can do that. Oh...and I'll stop putting images in that category, too. (tehee) GramsJ (talk) 21:52, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. Could you give me a quick tutorial on categories/subcategories? If an image is categorized as Character Images, for example, would Images also be included in the category list? I was wondering, because if it is, then doesn't the image show up on both category pages? If not, then does that mean I should remove the category Images from all of the images that I categorize? Thanks GramsJ (talk) 01:19, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * All images are automatically added to Category:Images based on their copyright license templates. Not sure about that right now. I'll have to ask some of the other "powers that be" on the wiki first to confirm. It's an excellent question, though. (I'm removing the links to old Books category, so they don't show up in Special:WantedPages). --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  01:32, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Double Question
First, what is the differance between Template:Delete and Delete besides one being long to type. They both look ugly on my screen and if a reason was given, unreadable. I was in Visual edit, clicked the add other templates, entered delete, selected the offered Template:Delete, I do notice adding a template in visual usually puts the Template: part in automatically when switching to source mode. But my understanding is the are the same thing, just doing Delete is a shortcut in source mode. Just curious, and would applaud the person fixes the delete template to a differant background color.

Second, Is there a specific reason you moved the Potion/Poison Recipe to a sub of potions and listed as poisons, when its a book page listing all the recipes (books) from the in game inventory, not a list of all possible combinations at the Alchemy Lab. Been fighting to keep it a book page and not a potion page, which is why I got Timeoin to protect the page today and spent 3 hours fixing it. Neguy71inok (talk) 23:27, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what i did wrong here...
Hi, I'm somewhat new to wiki (as far as editting goes), and i just attempted to add information to a page ((Nocturnal)) and all my info was original and unplagurized...yet it told me i commited vandalism...

I want to see why...

And if possible (and if all is clean), I'd like to have my info reposted...cuz i worked a while on that. Plus, im banded from editting now because of this...so, please, let me know when you get a free second or two.

Thanks!

OH! And now it says that my contributions to the page for Astrid have been removed... :'(

Sorry :(
EDIT: It's lifted, thank you! :D

"Behind the scenes" vs. "Notes"
Hello there, I just wanted to state my reasoning, after reading the Manual of Syle, on why the "Behind the scenes" section in the Lydia page should in fact be titled "Notes." Link. AmbigramMan (talk) 07:52, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Also promoted some patrollers, and need to talk to you about some stuff; Come to IRC if you have the time. Elchzard (Talk to me.) 22:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Books categories
Thanks Deyvid. I'm actually having fun. What I'm working on now is getting as many images cleaned up as I can. I'm limited to Skyrim images since I haven't played Oblivion yet. I'm also adding missing images as I can. I also found another double category issue. We have both Skyrim: Weapon Images and Category:Skyrim: Weapons Images. I can work on those, too, if you like. GramsJ (talk) 02:20, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * PS. I just looked at the Skyrim categories again and saw that the Weapons Images category doesn't exist any more, so I guess you (or someone) already took care of it. So I'm back to working on image cleanup and stuff. GramsJ (talk) 06:29, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Image compression & Character List
Looking at your profile I think you may be able to help with this one. I have checked the policies and its a bit vague about best image formats. I happen to know everything about image formats (literally) and wondered what you felt the best format would be? I have had a bot alter one of my posted images even though it was a PNG as suggested in the policy section.

For what it is worth a 'high' quality JPG would be the best format. Keeps the file size to a minimum but maintains quality. A PNG would be barely better quality but a MUCH bigger file format. Only snag when saving a JPG is that programs like Paint use a low quality JPG compression as standard and its not something most people will realise, so I guess a PNG would be 'safer'.

Maybe policies can be made clearer? And from now on I will go with high quality JPG as standard (to my knowledge its the best all-round format), to save the Bots fiddling with me!

Also, and I imagine it has been raised somewhere. When searching for characters I am really only interested in Skyrim Characters (I imagine the rest of the world is too). So I use the Skyrim drop down and select characters only to be confronted with a massive list of all Elder scrolls characters. Not the end of the world I suppose, as I should know who I am looking for, but not quite right either.

Venerable (talk) 12:52, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for notes on images. I will use compressed PNG then. And the primary Skyrim nav as shown still Skyrim_Characters.png to the Elder Scrolls characters page. I would imagine most people would not click the top bit you adjusted, although they may. I did not even know this Skyrim Character subcategory existed.


 * Venerable (talk) 14:18, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

hey Deyvid! just wanted to ask you: is there anything specific that needs to be done? remember im new, so i dont quite know how to do this.... so, leave me a message in my talk page if you remember something :)

Disambiguation for Lighthouses
Hi Deyvid, I was just about to add an image of Frostflow Lighthouse to the Lighthouses page to fulfill its need for an image, but then I got to thinking about whether the page should be its own topic at all. Right now it's a stub, and unless there is more to say about lighthouses ingame, I was thinking about making it a disambiguation page and have it point to the two lighthouses that it currently lists. What are your thoughts? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 20:51, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Potions Recipes
Hey, I've taken it upon myself to sort the alchemical ingredients BY EFFECT rather than by name.

What I mean to say is that when you want to make a certain kind of potion, my list shows you by effect so you don't have to search through the list alphabeticly by ingredient name (AKA the long way).

Anyway, long story short, I'll email it to you or something but I haven't a clue how to submit it directly to the wiki.

It's three small files for a total of four pages.

Several questions about book pages...
Hi Deyvid...So many changes are being made to the way books are being posted I thought I would check on what current style is preferred. Specifically, I noticed that the image of one that was posted recently had the name and statistics block cropped off. I suppose I can see doing that since the statistics are included in the infobox below the image. One concern, though, is then there is nothing to say that the book pictured is really the book being reviewed in the article. Second, since the statistics and effect, if any, are included in the infobox, is it really necessary to include a separate section in the article itself? My tendency has been to remove that information. Finally, what is everyone's opinion regarding including screenshots of the book contents in a Gallery at the bottom of the article or in a slide show? I was routinely including the pages until another admin made a comment that he was surprised to see it.

To summarize, Thanks a bunch. GramsJ (talk) 23:09, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Crop the statistics from the image, or not?
 * 2) Include the statistics section in the text of the article when they are present in the infobox, or not?
 * 3) Add screenshots of book contents to article, or not?


 * Thanks for the clear response, Deyvid. Now another question. Is somebody giving lessons on doing the 3D renders? I'd love to learn. :) GramsJ (talk) 02:52, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Oblivion Category Question
Hi Deyvid. I was looking at category trees this morning and happened to notice that Oblivion has two Mages Guild members categories — one with the "m" capitalized and one with a lower case "m." I was going to go ahead and merge the two, but I thought I should ask which one you wanted to keep (I'll redirect the other). Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 18:04, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

About Apparel categories
Hey Deyvid, I left a message on Timeion's talk page, but could you maybe have a read and let me know your thoughts too?

Jimeee (talk) 11:42, January 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Replying to your points - If we are in agreement that Armor and Apparel are classed as Items then (as you have been doing in images) then surely having these as a sub category to Skyrim: Items would make sense - no? After all they do fit the definition of Items.


 * I'm not saying we should go back and start adding "Skyrim: Items" to all the individual Armor and Apparel - that would be insane - but rather have their respective categories ("Skyrim: Armor" and "Skyrim: Apparel") as sub categories to "Skyrim: Items". You can see this here - http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/index.php?title=Category:Skyrim:_Items&from=S


 * I don't think it would be messy if the categorisation is solid, but we need a community concensus first.


 * If we go with Armor and Apparel not classed as Items, then we definitely need to go back and look at what our definition of an Item actually is as it's too vague. Are "items" only potions, scrolls, ores etc?


 * As for the Jewelery category - Although some Jewelery might not really need its own page - like a basic gold ring - I would argue that there are still enough pieces of unique/quest item jewelery and divine amulets that warrent it's own category. It could always become a sub-category of Skyrim: Apparel as it would fit the description of what is apparel.


 * Thoughts? or we can talk on IRC later if I see you there?

Hi Deyvid. First, it was my fault. I take full responsibility and I'm sincerely sorry. I will strive to make sure it never happens again.

Miscellaneous categories
Hey Deyvid, lately I've run across several articles that listed a category called "Junk." So I checked the category list to make sure my thinking was right that the category didn't exist, and I was correct. That got me looking at the Misc. categories. We currently have Misc, Misc Items, Miscellaneous, and Miscellaneous Items, none of which are an official category. I'm thinking we should have a miscellaneous category, but how would you prefer it be named? Then we have Skyrim: Misc and Skyrim: Miscellaneous. I was going to move the items from the second to the first but thought I would check with you first. Could you let me know what your wishes are? ...Oh, and I tried to archive my talk page. I hope I did it right. Thanks GramsJ (talk) 00:46, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Swords
Hi Deyvid. Concerning the category: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Swords.

If this cat deals with swords in Skyrim, I assume for Oblivion it's equivelant cat wouold be "Blade" - does this mean swords - as an item - wont be catergorised at all for Oblivion?

Jimeee (talk) 10:12, February 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, if the cat deal with all games then I assume it will become massive very soon, so before that happens should have Skyrim: Swords and Oblivion: Swords (and Morrowind).


 * As for the Blade skill - we already have Category:Blunt Weapons that Rose has added so now for the sake of consistency we will ned Category:Blade Weapons - no?


 * When is it best to catch you guys on IRC, I have been meaning to discuss a few things with the admins.


 * Jimeee (talk) 10:22, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Proposal for Enemies Infobox
Hi Deyvid. I noticed yesterday that the Creatures category has a number of human creatures included. I discovered this as I started moving some articles from Bestiary (which doesn't exist as a formal category) to the Creatures category. I'm wondering if we need an Enemies infobox (not necessarily a category, since I think they qualify as NPCs) for hostile humans so we can include fields such as Race, Level, Health, Magicka, Stamina, Spells, Soul rather than include them in the creatures category by default. The other option would be to add these fields as collapsible fields to the NPCs Infobox. What are your thoughts about this? Thanks.

P.S, Any decision regarding the miscellaneous category? GramsJ (talk) 18:15, February 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi again Deyvid. I've given the infobox a stab. I haven't quite figured out the /doc part of it yet, but if you could give the infobox a look and let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it.

The use of "I" in articles
I am noticing the use of first person perspective in many articles. ("I" "my" etc. usually in the bugs and notes sections). Is there any kind of regulation against that. I tried to reword some of the offending articles, but I find it difficult to do so with out completely deleting the contribution, as I'm not great at writing informative articles. I feel that not using neutrality is unacceptable in articles. Since you are an admin, I feel it is necessary to point this issue out so something can be done about it.Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 03:29, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Hi Deyvid. I haven't heard any feedback regarding my infobox for Skyrim enemy NPCs, so I thought I'd touch base with you again about it. Additionally, I noticed that the SkyrimItems infobox, which doesn't include an armor field, is being used for clothing items, which do include armor ratings (even if they are normally "0"). Is SkyrimClothing also one we might want to have? Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 17:20, February 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * I noticed that if all of the fields are used, the infobox is pretty long, so I created an alternate, though I haven't made it collapsible yet. If you want to take a look at it, go here. GramsJ (talk) 05:22, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

About the Skyrim OST on the Wiki.
Hey Deyvid, Flightmare mentioned how he kind of shot down your idea over copyright issues. However, there is a solution! We can put up covers of the OST. I have contacted Malukah over putting up her cover of the main theme. I suggest you message other youtubers over covers. So we can have at least some form of music on the wiki.

Thx for giving Emperor's Robe (Oblivion) a disambugation page. Really Appreciate It. Wizcharles5 (talk) 02:44, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Edit requests
hey, since darkbrotherhood page is locked ill type down here so you can fix if u want to, about this part

it should be like
 * Cicero's Armor - obtained if Cicero is killed during The Cure For Madness.
 * Jester's Outfit - obtained if Cicero is spared during The Cure For Madness. The variation is weaker statistically than Cicero's Armor.

just my opinion, update if you like to because jester's outfit doesnt have to do anything with cicerio its just there on a table near enterance where cicerio starts to talk after you enter the sanctuary.
 * Cicero's Armor - can be obtained only if Cicero is killed during The Cure For Madness.
 * Jester's Outfit - can be found on the table near enterance after gaining enterance to the Dawnstar Sanctuary, which is given by The Cure For Madness quest. The variation is weaker statistically than Cicero's Armor.


 * First, please sign talk pages with four tildes (~). Second, edit requests belong on the talk page of the page you wanted edited. Lastly, it appears that this information is already present on the article you want me to edit. In addition to all this, please be aware that you are not linking properly to pages. Instead of copying and pasting the link long hand, you can simply put brackets around the word you want to link to. Example, Astrid produces Astrid. Please refrain from adding links long hand. Thank you. For more information on editing, see Help:Editing. You are more than welcome to test your edits here before publishing them to pages. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   01:50, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

hey the Skyrim Easter Eggs page, there is an error. under Monty Python, it says the characters say "it's only a flesh wound" like the Black Knight in the movie. this is incorrect, as they say 'Tis Only A Scratch! like the Black Knight in the movie WalkeraGNR (talk) 20:24, February 16, 2012 (UTC)walkeraGNR

Quick category question
Hi Deyvid. Quick question: after the vote on categories, are we leaving images in the general Images category when they are in Skyrim: Apparel Images (for instance)? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 20:08, February 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Deyvid. I have been using the Skyrim image templates, but I have also noticed that the image category still is added, even without the Skyrim image template. Is the Images category is attached to the Bethesda license? GramsJ (talk) 20:48, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * If we want to keep the Images category connected to the template for other uses but not for Skyrim, would it be prudent, then, to create one specifically for Skyrim and name it something like  without the Images category? Just a chemobrain thought. GramsJ (talk) 21:17, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * So one of the things that prompted these questions are quite a few spell articles that need infoboxes. Shall I use the Item Infobox for these? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 01:16, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Help?
hey um, i noticed an issue with Blackwood ring of silence and Blackwood Ring of Silence being that they are essentially the same page, but well, you know which name the page should use, i'd fix it but for one, i'm not sure how, and also i have to go, like... now, but i wanted to bring this to your attention before i forgot lol. when you get the chance could you fix it? and add the category Enchanted Clothing, cause that is where i found the first page at (though it was Enchanted clothing) so unless i am wrong, yeah.. sorry.. rambling >.< Rosenrot87 (talk) 22:00, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Spell Infobox thanks
Thanks Deyvid. I noticed you made a change. I will work on changing all the spells that already have images to using the infobox as I am able. GramsJ (talk) 04:24, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Cheating on mug shots.
One trick you can use to get those NPC pictures in higher resolutions is to use the FOV-command to literally zoom in on the character (I mostly use something around 50). This way you can get way more pixels into the pictures, having to throw away less of the image (or even nothing at all). ~ Flightmare (talk) 13:12, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Question Time
What was wrong with Ebony Armor (Skyrim) anyways? Seriously. In the game, NOONE refers to it as an Armor Set. Not a single one. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 15:03, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Abuse filter
Hey, Deyvid. I'm just a Elder Scrolls player trying to add to the knowledge pool. However, trying to edit King Olaf, I'm being marked for vandalism. Don't know what I did wrong here, just thought I was improving things. Just a note to smooth that over.


 * Looking over your edit, I was unable to locate the reason for it triggering the abuse filter. I will need to consult another administrator for further information about this. Please be aware, however, that a large portion of the edit you contributed to Olaf One-Eye highly violated our standard for point of view. Please be sure to look over this guide before attempting to edit pages further. Words such as "you" and "I" should never be included in articles, nor should personal opinions. Typically, in creature articles we try to avoid adding battle strategies. Instead, we seek to cover the tactics used by the enemy, so that players can determine for themselves how best to counter them. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   23:42, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my edit on the Dark Brotherhood template. I looked around and just couldent figure out how to make it still just stay "Sanctuary" after I fixed it to direct to the quest page. Rangermanlv (talk) 00:45, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

99th edit
Hey, its Wizcharles5, just wanted to say thx for all ur help, and this is my 99th edit. Hope i can become as much of an editor as u!!!

Thanks alot

Working on Spell Articles
Hey Deyvid! I finally caught on to the changes you've been making to my edits, and, hopefully, I'm starting to incorporate them in my edits now. :D I have a question for you about how we want to handle tome information in the spell articles. In the ones I've edited so far, I've removed the specific "book" information (i.e., weight, value, ID) in favor of adding a subsection as in the following example:

Attributes

 * See Spell Tome for a complete table of Spell Tomes, their descriptions, and their values.

Locations
Then as I was continuing with another article today, I almost had second thoughts and was wondering if including the tome attributes might actually be beneficial here. Do we plan on eventually having a separate article for each tome besides the table containing all of them? Whether or not we do, could you let me know how you would like me to proceed? My original intent was to avoid repeating information that existed elsewhere.
 * Purchase from Phinis Gestor (College of Winterhold) [or whomever the appropriate merchants might be]

(I was going to come onto IRC to talk to you about it, but my 30 days trial is up on X-chat, and I haven't gotten my registration information yet.) GramsJ (talk) 00:22, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Picky, picky :P
Usefulness vs Usage Notes? At least it was better that Synergy (I thought). GramsJ (talk) 01:12, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * First, let me say I have no problem with removing "notes" when I see it, as you have requested. Personally, though, I think the choice to use "Notes" in a heading is a matter of style, not correctness or laziness. Second, I'm going to let you in on one of my ... hmmm ... pet peeves, so to speak? Though I'm not at all peeved. :D <-- see, I'm smiling. As a person who has worked in the Quality Assurance and Technical Documentation fields for well over 35 years, I would tend to disagree with your assessment regarding capitalization rules, even though this wiki's guide does set forth the guidelines as you have stated. Educational (i.e., MLA) and most industry guidelines indicate that significant terms in a heading should be capitalized – a practice I have been using in my editing of technical writing for quite a few years – it's a habit for me :). I am by no means attempting to "be better than others" or tell anyone that "what's being done is all wrong." I'm only letting you know where I'm coming from when I edit articles the way I do. Thanks for listening. I'll read the guidelines over again and try to keep them in mind as I make my edits. GramsJ (talk) 03:17, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * (Stepping off my soapbox.) No personal attack taken, and soapbox response understood. It only makes sense to strive for consistency, and I don't envy the position you're in trying to rein in the hundreds (thousands?) of editors that add their input to these pages minute by minute. You do an excellent job. In case you couldn't tell, my "picky" comment was supposed to be joking. :) GramsJ (talk) 03:55, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

=Mourning Never Comes=

I would debate with you the change to this quest that "Dark Brotherhood Forever" is not the correct prereq quest for this quest. I just played thru this quest series twice with two different characters and then again with old saves on the same character to check it. You are given the quest "Dark Brotherhood Forever" immidiately following the conclusion of "Sanctuary". And you are not given the next quest "Mourning Never Comes" untill you return from fullfulling at least one of the assasination contracts. Perhaps this is a minor game bug as going forward thru the questline from here I have no active OR completed quest called "Dark Brotherhood Forever" and it only shows up after you have completed the Dark Brotherhood questline and you are getting contracts from the Nightmother after that? It's certainly confuseing as "Sanctuary" is completed after you talk to Nazir the first time, and you have no other active Dark Brotherhood quest from the main series in your journal untill after you return from the contracts and it starts. "Mourning Never Comes"....BTW I am still on 1.3.10 version of game so this might have been something addressed in a later release. Rangermanlv (talk) 04:54, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Necromancer Amulet is not the same as Strange Amulet
I am not sure why you merged Necromancer Amulet with Strange Amulet. I understand that in the game they are supposed to be the same item, but in reality they clearly are not. Besides having differant IDs they have differant stats and even a differant weight. I think all you have successfully done is remove any information about the completed amulet from the wiki, so people cannot look up it's ID, stats, worth, etc. Can you please explain your logic to me, so I understand?

COLLABORATION
David,

Please cease engaging in an edit war with me without first collaborating as seems to be occuring with those three beverage articles. Thank you. Loneyankee (talk) 23:39, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what you mean by "extra spaces," but I assure you that even though I edit in "Source" mode, Wikia.com insists on implanting a double space between any heading and its subsequent initial paragraph. Also, it hurts absolutely no one to have an extensive "See Also" section. In fact, it is encouraged as the more wikilinks that visitors are presented with, the more likely they are to transverse said wiki. Sort of a "Oooh, shiny, me want to touch" philosophy. Loneyankee (talk) 23:47, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, why in God's name are you removing all those categories I added to the pages? Loneyankee (talk) 23:49, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm somewhat insulted by your attention span. I clearly stated that I in no way attempted to add extra space to any pages. Your system does this automatically for some reason. I edit all pages in Source mode and do not insert the extra spaces, rather, I try to remove them. Also, I see nothing conflicting between the pages I list under See Also and your currently established guidelines. Are you promoting rogue rules here? Your administrators here seem to fly by the seat of their pants and instantaneously change pages without any regard and without consultation. If my tone has grown harsh, as I now realize, I apologize, but you've seem to shown little respect for me despite my obvious desire to expand and help.

Mammoth / Creature Template
Are the templates up to date? On the creature template it doesn't have the soul size in the infobox, but in the article instead. I think it looks better in the infobox, and seems redundant to have it in both places. There are other infobox items I've see on other pages that aren't in the template. --jimnms (talk) 02:42, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
