Skyrim Shops Category
Hey Deyvid, I noticed that there was a category called Category:Skyrim: Shops, but the only stuff in that category was Category:Skyrim: Inns and Taverns, Category:Skyrim: Alchemy Shops and Warmaiden's. Should sub-categories like Skyrim: Weapon Shops and Skyrim: General Goods Shops be created and articles added to those categories? Or should this category and its sub-categories just be deleted?

Oblivion Dark Brotherhood Quests
Hey Deyvid, I was just wondering why you reverted my edit on Category:Oblivion: Dark Brotherhood Quests. In the Oblivion Fighters Guild Quests cat it says The following are... Also I thought the game names were supposed to be italicized, so why'd you undo the italics?

Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 10:33, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I just added the following are, because I noticed that a lot of category pages used the following are, or the following is a list of at the start. If it's not needed, should the following are be removed from all category pages? Or is it fine if it's just left there?

Vampire Lord edit undone

I'm not sure if it was you who undid my edit, but I noticed that the bug I added was removed, the one about neither power working while in the Vampire Lord Blood Magic mode. I was wondering, why was it removed? Draevan13 (talk) 20:48, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Possible Vandal
Hey up, just an heads up, might want to keep an eye on User:Iluvskyrim, I believe it's a vandal. Cheers Lee VEGETA  talk 00:13, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Maven Black-Briar
I know that it is possible and this is called incest (she would have sex with her own son) but i will be extremely surprise that Bethesda would have put an history of incest in Skyrim. It maybe an error when the person have made the edit. It will need to be verified and confirmed. Philgo95 (talk) 01:30, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Add a page
Hi deyvid, i see there is a page for the skyrim quest items but none for the Dawnguard quest items. So we should add a page for it OR add a section for the Dawnguard items in the skyrim quest items page. Actually i would suggest to start a new page for it but i want first your opinion on this. I know how to start a page but in this case i don't know which "template" in other words what the base of this page would need to look like (blank page?). Philgo95 (talk) 05:42, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Daggers
I made the revision because it's a weapon overview page, and none of the weapon overview pages I've seen ever have a weapons template. Bows, Swords, Greatswords, Crossbows, so should we edit all of those? Because imo, they look much, much neater and much smoother without an added template. Deus Gladiorum (talk) 18:45, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

I thought the Crossbows (Dawnguard) article was pretty good...probably because I provided the image and some of the info :( Deus Gladiorum (talk) 19:07, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

lol so I guess we should add some templates

Character Level Page
The Character Level page has been corrected no more, "I" "you" "your" and the like...I removed the note stating things need to be changed...if there is still an issue with the page let me know...and I'll do what I can to fix it.The Lizard (talk) 22:29, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Hi I'm new to the wiki well joining it i've been aware of the wiki for quite some time and I was just wondering if it is okay to right your own pages like your own chapters of the elder scrolls?

i've drag and drop the dragon's letters directly on my profile page but it don't show up as dragon letter but as linked number. so if you can help me out, i didnt really understand what you mean by "snag". Philgo95 (talk) 00:48, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Just want to thanks you Deyvid. Philgo95 (talk) 02:23, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

I've see that the admins have their names in green and the patrollers in yellow but can i change my name color in my signature (i would like to change it to a nice red or a stronger blue). I know that i can change up my signature but i don't know the code line to change is color. could i also change my signature in a dragon letters (the symbols one).

Missing Categories pages (Dawnguard)
Hey Deyvid, it's me again. Ok so i've seen that there are missing categories for Dawnguard such as Clothing (Dawnguard) and maybe there is more. So i'm gonna do these pages (i will built them such as the pages for skyrim Clothing (Skyrim)). If you think it will be better to merge them i'll let you redirecting them and copy-paste the information BUT i think it will "overcharge" the pages. So don't create them yet i'm on it. Philgo95 (talk) 18:11, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Ok it seem there are not so much clothes in dawnguard so i will add them to Clothing (Skyrim) so the page Clothing (Dawnguard) will need to be redirected. Philgo95 (talk) 18:24, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Items (Oblivion)
Hey dayvid, I started sandboxing an overhaul to the Items (Oblivion) page here. Only done the Oblivion & Shivering Isles armors so far. If you can take a look at it and let me know if it's heading in the right direction, or if I need to change anything that would be great. I'll be adding links to item pages, and from this it could be split to Items (Shivering Isles) & Items (Knights of the Nine) easily. Considering tabling, but that's up to you. TY 14:43, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Ya formating it like Items (Skyrim) will be easy, but requires large updates to Weapons (Oblivion), Armor (Oblivion), Enchanted Armor (Which should probably be moved to Enchanted Armor (Oblivion)), Clothing (Oblivion), Potions (Oblivion) and possably others.

Sigil Stone (Oblivion), Jewelry (Oblivion), Enchanted Jewelry (Oblivion), Beverages (Oblivion), Ingredients (Oblivion), Ingredients (Shivering Isles), Soul Gem (Oblivion), and Enchanted Weapons (Oblivion) currently look good as is.

Keys (Oblvion), Miscellaneous Items (Oblivion), and several pages still need to be created for Oblivion, Shivering Isles, Knights and most of the plug-ins. Including some infobox templates for Knights (ie;  as the few individual item pages that have been made for Knights of the Nine items currently use  or  . (The reformated sandbox is here) 00:51, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Recent Changes
Hi Deyvid. The Recent Changes page has been changed so there is no longer a checkbox to have it update automatically. Is there a way to do that? It's really annoying to have to do it manually when you're trying to monitor the changes. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 00:13, July 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have seen most of what you mentioned. If I wasn't aware of Wikia's updates, I would have freaked out. I was just hoping there was some sort of work around for the RC page. Anyway, I do hope this is all temporary. Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 03:21, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Cleaning up articles
Dear Deyvid, its Bork-The-Ork again. I've cleaned ups the articles :
 * Telrav (minor edits, mostly tone)
 * Telrav's Request (alot of of tone)
 * Stormcloak Soldier (added a bigger lead like you asked and edited tone)

Just letting, yah know. Check 'em if you want, and if you do criticize me if you must :D

Signature
Hey up, got your message about my signature, I never knew it was a problem, nobody has said anything before, and the template page you sent me to won't give me any sort of code to paste. Lee VEGETA talk 07:03, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cheers for the info, think I might have to check the other Wikias I edit to make sure it's fine there as well, or I can see me getting a few of these messages lol. Till I can use the sig template code generator, is my sig OK with just the colour for now? Cheers Lee VEGETA  talk 10:26, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, once the templates are up and running, I'll sort it out through that. Cheers Lee VEGETA  talk 10:38, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Sig
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll go ahead and add the image here as well so my sig won't show up as broken anymore. Ah, and I didn't realize such a template was added here. (It's been a while.) I'll do that later. For now, I'll just link to myself instead of using my sig. Have a good one, and see you around. GarouxBloodline

News!!!
At the time of leaving this message, I had to dash out of the house so I can't write the blog this news probably deserves. I only found one source for the story (not enough time to cross reference) but it's a story about a possible TESO console release. If you could write, or find someone else to write a blog that would be great.

Video Game Olympics
Hello, my name is Nic and I'm a member of the Wikia Development Team. We are going to be running a Video Game Olympics promotion, where we determine which game characters would be most suited to win certain Olympic events. A character from your wiki has been selected as one of the participants of this promotion. In order to promote this, we would like to add a participant badge to your main page in the top right column. Would you be willing to participate in this promotion? It's totally up to you whether or not you add the badge. Please respond accordingly. Thanks. - Wagnike2 (talk) 18:10, July 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * There is currently no place to read anything about the promotion as the landing page hasn't been created yet. This page should be going up early next week. But basically the idea is just a fun twist on the actual Olympics. So basically we have chosen a few Olympic events that we like and have selected characters that we think will do well in these events. For each of our selected events we will do a blog post explaining our choices and asking people to vote on who would win the event. In your situation, we actually nominated The Black Horse for the Equestrian event. The badge is relatively small, and can be seen (including where it'd be placed on your page), here. If you have any other questions, please let me know. - Wagnike2 (talk) 15:19, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I marked the source where the right column starts. Place the badge directly below that line. 62.48.40.66 23:36, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry
I am sorry for the misunderstanding we had in IRC, I did not mean to come off as challenging you or acting at all aggressive, it was a minor question of no relavance I wanted to ask, In fact, I wanted to thank you for the awesome template... I guess that I really need to work on commenting less cryptically. Mask2697 (talk) 01:28, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Easter Eggs
Thanks for getting back with me so soon! I appreciate you reading through my inquiry and taking appropriate action as you saw fit. I've never been a fan of speculation; especially so on wikis, so I'm happy to see myself and the Administration here (Or, at least you and Timeoin.) can see eye-to-eye with me on this matter. I sometimes have quite a problem getting my views heard at certain wikis. :P GarouxBloodline

Hi
I am having withdrawal effects from not editing the wiki for this long. But I am severely crippled with this slow and expensive wifi spot at the campsite in Italy.

Nirn Picture
I have posted this on the page Nirn's talk page but no-one reads it. So I think that Nirn should have a picture that is only the planet, like Masser and Secunda? I cant make it because I dont have the right program and I don't want to spend 3 hours torrenting it.

High King Article
Why do you insist on maintaining uncited unsourced material that is clearly refuted by lore by maintaining the Modern Day section in the High King article? The very sources cited in the article refute the notion that the winner of a duel in a challenge to the High King has a right to the seat of the High King. The Moot has the sole authority to select a High King in the absence of a lineal heir to the last High King. It's been that way for over 4,000 years even after it resulted in the disastrous War of Succession. It's also confirmed by both the dialogues of Ulfric and Elisif. Ulfric explicitly disclaims any right to the position of High King when he states that the High King must be appointed by the Moot. Elisif says the same thing when you ask her whether she is High Queen after Torygg's death. Maintaining that section has no legitimate purpose and only serves to undermine the credibility of the article and the site.64.197.109.162 22:25, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Blind links and 2nd person
Greetings, We were reviewing one of the pages you edited, (trying to learn how to be better editors), The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Your notes were "links and italics." When we read the page, we spotted several instances of the use of the 2nd person as well as several "blind" links (the reference is red, indicating there is no page).

We are under the impression that it is the policy of this Wiki to use 3rd person if at all possible and that blind links should be avoided. Should we stop removing blind links and changing pages to 3rd person?DarthOrc (talk) 03:57, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank for what you said on my talk page Deyvid. It was much appreciated what you told me. I actually created those pages simply because it annoyed me to much how their where so many pages that diden't exist and that should have been made awhile ago. I mean come on how many people on this wiki? They really should have been their awhile ago. Anyway, all try to do what you said.

Anyway, Thanks again.--—

Decimal places
Hi Deyvid. If someone is removing the decimal places from weapon weights, speed, and reach (i.e., changing "9.00" to "9" and "2.50" to "2.5"), should I just leave the changes alone or undo them? I have been providing the complete number based on if it was provided in the construction set, we wanted it in the data included in the article. Please advise. Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 15:24, July 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * We have been removing unneeded decials and zeros as modern practice, especially in the medical field, (dad is a Pharmacist), is to leave them off. The rule is to always place a zero before a decimal, (0.5, not .5) and to never use a decimal point followed by zeros, (1, not 1.0). this is to prevent the number from being misread the decimal is missed. (.1 could be read as 1, 1.0 could be misread as 10)DarthOrc (talk) 01:50, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi DeathOrc, I would still like to see Deyvid's response. I have seen some of the admins add the decimals and zeros in -- a practice that IMO was correct. I just retired from a senior biomedical documentation position, and what you are calling common practice depends on how the industry and local users define it. Where I worked, we had procedures that would define the level of precision that was required when recording measurements. Bethesda has seen fit to include the zeros with the decimals for the measurements such as weight, length, and speed. I just think it would be appropriate do the same on the wiki. Of course, this is just my opinion. That is why I asked for Deyvid's input (since Timeoin isn't around). Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 06:06, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Please indent new posts, so the conversation is easier to follow. Otherwise the wall of text is copious to comb through. That aside, Jan, I appreciate that you value my opinion, but my opinion (and Tim's opinion) are not end-all-be-all. Everyone deserves input. In regards to this issues, I would suggest consistency -- i.e. that each number have three characters listed. Examples would be: 0.50 and 1.00 and 3.12 etc. Keeping it at this length ensures that the wiki is consistent. I feel that including less numbers makes the data entries more difficult to read, and they don't align very well, if they're included in a table with other entries. While we're on the topic of punctuating numbers, I am also a fan of adding commas when numbers reach thousands and millions. 1,000 versus 1000 for instance. My brain jams up without the visual aid. This relates to my opinion about the decimals and adding extra (seemingly redundant) numbers; they serve as visual aids that help us interpret the data more efficiently. We analyze patterns best, I believe. -- 06:24, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response, Deyvid. I think it contains very sound logic -- even with regard to the commas indicating thousands (which I've been removing up until now, btw). I didn't think about mentioning that our procedure for defining the level of precision indicated that the minimum requirement was three significant figures (hehe). Anyway, thanks again. I will start another post for the other thing I wanted to mention. GramsJ (talk) 16:05, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

As promised, question regarding projects
It's me again. :) Several admins have a list (or lists) of projects that they are working on or that need to be done on their talk pages. Besides these, many different editors have projects they are working on that may or may not have been requested by an admin. As a patroller and editor who has been unable to be on IRC very much (can't stay awake at my computer a lot of the time due to the chemo), I would like to propose a single repository for "Current Editing Projects." That way, when I see someone making the same edit on multiple articles that I may not think is correct (adding or removing categories, for instance), there is a single list that can be referenced by me or anyone else to make sure that the admins are aware of the project. Just a thought -- what do you think? GramsJ (talk) 16:38, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Game name in opening statement
And while I "have your ear," so to speak, I've been trying to make sure that all of the articles for items, people, locations, etc. identify the game in the opening statement (i.e., "Such and so is an item in .) The content of the rest of the paragraph will elaborate with more detail. Do we want to continue this practice? I ask because at least one other editor has been replacing the game name with other text. Thank you in advance for your input. GramsJ (talk) 16:38, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Map
Hi!

Wanted to say that the map is crashed. I know that only Jgjake can fix it, but I think that you've got to do something until Jake is back. By the other hand, I'm not sure that he is the only person that can help... Well, it's your choice what to do; I've just let you know :)

Bye, bye Items...
Hey Deyvid, Since we are going to remove of all the Items categories, I'm gonna go ahead and remove the category from the templates that add it automatically. But, before I do go through with that, I'm going to skim some of the general "item type" pages to be sure they at least have one other game specific category so we can avoid a myriad of orphan category pages. Sound good? ...Oh, also you might want to archive your talk page! :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:13, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
