Ruddy Man image
Did you get the Ruddy Man image from uesp.net?

Jimeee (talk) 11:05, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I hope this is the correct way of replying, because I don't really know how it works. But yes I will take down the image because I looked at the address of where it was found, (I found it on google) and it is from the uesp.net. Sorry for my mistake. AutoBlood (talk) 18:14, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I will delete it then. Generally don't upload images unless you are 100% certain. Also remember to sign your posts with 4 ~ signs. Jimeee (talk) 13:46, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you. AutoBlood (talk) 13:47, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean to make it better? You mean by adding more information to the page or editing within the template? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:33, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it was editing the template, because when I first published it, it looked different than when you edited the page. AutoBlood (talk) 18:46, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah yes. I moved the information you had added on the page within the BloodmoonWeapons template. You can edit the information contained there two ways. If you use Visual editing mode, if you move your mouse over the green puzzle piece looking thing at the very top of the page, a dropdown box will appear in which you can edit the properties in that template. The other way, is the way I do it, which is in source mode. Switch to the Source mode tab and edit the information directly from the BloodmoonWeapons template. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:52, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I will remember to use this in new articles. AutoBlood (talk) 20:07, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Red and Greed Thingies
I saw your question on Jimeee's talk page. The red or green numbers in your contribution page mean how much information have you added or taken. It measures it in bytes.


 * Thank you mysterious person. AutoBlood (talk) 18:35, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * T'was me, I forgot to add a signature. Ikabite (talk) 18:42, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem. Thank you Ikabite. AutoBlood (talk) 21:14, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Renaming a page
Right next to the Edit (or Scribe) button is a small arrow pointing down. Click on that arrow and you will see an option to rename the page. Type in the new name, make sure "Leave a redirect behind" is checked. Save your page, now you can edit the old page and create a disambig out of it. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:51, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. AutoBlood (talk) 21:54, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Armour
Wiki Style and formatting guidelines are that all pages are written in American English, so if you see any "Armour" or "Colour" or such, don't feel the need to justify changing it beyond just enforcing policy.

Re: Wanted Pages
If it was up there before, then someone might have removed it. I don't usually make edits to the main page to know what's been added or missing. But, you can still find WantedPages at Special:WantedPages. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:39, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Reverted image
Hi AutoBlood, I've reverted your image back to the previous image on Pit Wolf. It's preferred to have images from the game to illustrate characters and creatures. It makes it more "alive". So please do not replace them with images with no background. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:17, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the congrats. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:57, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Re Faded Note
Hi there, sure, I tried to climb the roofs but it was very hard and I found other things that are on the roofs too. To get to that note, plus there seem to be another one on the highest roof I have to figure out tomorrow. :)

EbonySkyrim (talk) 00:28, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Oblivion Mobile templates
What type of templates do you need? I've never played the game, so I wouldn't know which templates are needed. I'm assuming NPCs, Locations, Items and Quest templates for sure. You can still work on the Oblivion Mobile pages in the meantime while I figure out the color-scheme and fields needed for the templates. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:44, February 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey AutoBlood, I got a few new templates for you. They are listed in Category:Infobox Templates/Oblivion Mobile. I just chose a random color-scheme. It may be changed later, but that's not so important right now. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  02:58, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Morrowind categories
Hey AutoBlood, I'm aware that there is some issue with the Morrowind categories and that each time a page is saved it automatically removed the "Morrowind" part. I've contacted Wikia about this, since they recently "upgraded" the category system, and now it's about to run amok on the wiki. Hopefully this will get resolved soon. Only thing I can suggest for now is to not edit Morrowind pages unless you really need to, because once you save a page it will continue to remove the categories. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:56, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Dragonborn Images
Added a picture of the folio and several others.

I take it that you mean with "adding them to the pages yourself" You ment clicking on the upload link there?

Vipor (talk) 20:14, February 11, 2013 (UTC)Vipor

Book covers
Hey AutoBlood, I've seen you have added book cover images that already are uploaded here. I know Vipor have uploaded the ones you use, I just want to let you know that there are already covers to use as many books have the same covers. :) Like this one: File:Book07.png. Have a look at the article Jimeee made today, http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Skyrim:_Book_Covers. There you can find the covers that are used for books with the same covers. It's the ones that are named Book01.png, Book02.png and so on. Same with journal covers. I'll let Vipor know too so he doesn't have to upload anymore covers unless they are not here already.

EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:39, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Wrong letter
Hi, I reverted your edit on Bloodstained Letter as it was the wrong letter you added, just to let you know. You added File:Letter to Hrodulf.png and it has not the same content. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:54, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Higher resolution?
Hi AutoBlood :) Just a question. Is it possible for you to upload higher resolutions on your images? For example pages from journals like this one I have uploaded. File:UmanasJournal1.png I'm just asking as I'm sure someone will replace it later on with a higher resolution. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 22:49, February 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Do you get larger images, what resolution does your screen have? The one I showed you is what I get when I take a screenshot from the game. Is it the graphics program that makes the image so small? :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:05, February 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh I see... well, nothing to do about it then. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:10, February 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * I added a cover to Eisa's Journal and I also set a slideshow width of 250 px so you know. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:16, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Image Licensing
Hey Autoblood. Please use the licensing for images taken from the game. The license is if it is your own work. Even though you've cropped the image and made changes to it, it is still Bethesda's image. Thanks! :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:06, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats
Congratulation to the MOTM :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 07:09, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

MOTM
Congratulations are well in place! 20:30, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

Authors
It was because of the incomplete template used on it. I have removed it.

Jimeee (talk) 14:41, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Form ID
Hi AutoBlood, saw you added id and it didn't show. I looked at another one and it didn't say Form ID: only id, that's why. I changed it and it worked. A tip if something isn't showing or working, look at another article using the same infobox to see what is different. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 22:16, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for all you've done on this wiki, it has really helped TheiCarnage (talk) 16:10, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Bloodmoon
Thanks very much for the positive comments, but I see you're very active in helping to make the wiki a better place, so I must tip my hat to you as well.

I will eventually be moving on to Bloodmoon and Tribunal, but for right now I'm focusing on Morrowind character, location, spell articles. Honestly, there is an overwhelming amount of Morrowind-related work that needs to be done, hundreds of articles have yet to be created, thousands are in need of pictures, and all of them need to be updated to conform with the current style and formatting guidelines. Personally I'm kind of torn between just wanting to get massive amounts content up quickly, and the desire to write better and more detailed articles like what I've been working on with Sinyaramen.

I can't be everywhere at once, and I work a lot better if I focus on smaller things and take them one at a time. That's why I'm often editing specific little corners of the universe. I take a stroll down to Pelagiad and work on the location articles related to that town. Then I move on to something else. That's what works well for me. But fear not, both Bloodmoon and Tribunal will receive a lot of attention eventually. :) 16:55, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Appearances
Hi, just wanted to let you know that I've discussed the use of with TombRaiser, she said it's not needed when there is only one appearance. You can see the discussion on my talk page if you'd like. No big deal, but I'll probably be leaving it out in all my edits. Regards, 21:48, May 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've thought about it a little bit - Tomb predicted that this would happen, and now that you've done it, I think I'll have to reconsider and keep adding the even when there is only one appearance. Especially if drives you nuts not see it. ;)  I'm not one to impose my point of view on others, and I can understand why after seeing it so many times it would bother you. Personally, I feel it is redundant to use  at all. If something appears in TES2, 3, and 4 it's fairly obvious which was first. Anyhow, happy editing, and keep up all the great work!  22:55, May 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I understood what you were saying. Honestly I haven't thought about it much and didn't realize that it may bother anyone. Although I do feel that it is redundant, it is a minor detail and it does no harm to include it. I shouldn't have casually asked Tomb about it, because it is very important to be consistent. It won't do the wiki any good to have people doing different things. I'll just keep on doing what has been established long before I arrived and add the 1st, even if it is not required. :)  00:01, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Redguard template
Ok, I've just edited the template instead of creating a new template for Redguard books. This template is used for books that can be found in any game. For an example already in use, check out the source code in The Firmament. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:25, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Appearances
Hey Auto,

I looked on Riften (Online) and Riften (Arena) and saw that you're adding hyphens to the "Appearances" sections with their respective articles on the side. Did you decide to do that or was there a discussion somewhere? I've been meaning to bring this topic up (the section in general, not your edits specifically) for a while, but your idea isn't that bad. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 05:22, June 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Don't do them anymore, but don't remove what you've already done so that we can use the Riften articles as examples for what we might want to do in the future. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 22:17, June 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think what I decided with User:Deyvid Petteys (or someone...) was that we add the links beside the game names in the "Appearances" section only if the article has a name we don't expect, as in if we just change the stuff in the parentheses from "Oblivion" to "Skyrim", it won't be the right article.


 * Hope that made sense :P Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:16, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

Image Miraak's robe
Hi AutoBlood, just want to ask where you got that image of Miraak's robe. It looks exactly like the one on UESP, have the same data. If it is from UESP we have to remove it. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 06:38, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats
Hey AutoBlood, congrats to your promotion :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:38, June 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * And a good job from me too Kroq-gar78 (talk) 19:13, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the Castle Dour
User Erik the Mad and I are going on about wording in the Bugs section. Care to be the mediator of this pointless dispute? My wording makes more sense, imo. Draven Mephilés of Faerûn (talk) 21:34, July 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * You clearly don't understand the definition of 'outstanding' in such a context. - Erik the Mad (talk) 21:36, July 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Who are you to judge my knowledge of grammar and the like? Draven Mephilés of Faerûn (talk) 21:41, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Mogrul
How is it relevant that Dawnguard adds another character with the same name? - Erik the Mad (talk) 18:47, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Revert (Ned1230)
It may be true, but her name states she is an Imperial. It is a little hard to tell however, so I'm going to go to the page and make her race Nord but put the name thing as trivia. Thanks,

Thanks

Hrothmund's Axe
Hey, I remember reading a while back that you wanted an image of Hrothmund's Axe from Bloodmoon? I finally fixed the problem I was having with BM, so I can get a screenshot if you still want one. It is extremely dark in the burrow, so I can either do it in-game poorly lit by a torch, or from the construction set with full lighting (it would look similar to the one Tomb uploaded from Dragonborn). Let me know if you still want one. 03:02, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll start by uploading the CS version, since it is a lot easier to see. I'm not using any texture mods, so it is well lit but isn't modified in any other way. Trying to light it in-game is proving to be difficult, there's no light source nearby, and holding a torch helps but doesn't do a great job. Unfortunately the developers used a standard Nordic Silver Battleaxe (something we don't have an article for yet), and didn't design something unique to be Hrothmund's Axe. :(


 * Anyhow, here it is: Hrothmund's Axe (Bloodmoon).png. If you want me to take a torch-lit screenshot, or pick it up to do an image with an invisible background, let me know.


 * Thanks for the kind words by the way, but it's the patrollers like you who do all the hard work and keep an eye on things. I just have fun writing articles. :)   04:13, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I meant that I can pick it up in the construction set, and move it to take a pic with an invisible background. You can't pick it up or equip it in the game. Using it runs a script that checks if the Nerevarine is at the right place in The Mead Hall Massacre quest, and makes sure that the Nerevarine didn't kill Svenja-Snow Song, then either grants or refuses Hrothmund's Blessing. If you want to use the pic, go ahead. If not I won't be offended if you decide to delete it. :)  05:03, August 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * We got that backwards, the one I uploaded was from the CS with full lighting turned on. It is extremely dark in the game, there's only two light sources in the burrow (you can see one in the background) and they're pretty far away. Without Night-Eye or a torch its like walking around in the dark when you first turn off the lights and can't really see anything. ;) Even if lit by a torch it is difficult to see details of the axe, so that's why I didn't upload it. (I play with the gamma setting exactly in the middle, which might be too low for screenshots.)


 * One of my friends that I've known since elementary school is a partner in a local venue, so when they have people performing that I'd like to meet, I get to go backstage sometimes. It doesn't last long, but its awesome to meet people who do something that influence how you see the world. I read your user page too btw, and it makes me happy to see people your age who are interested in something more than youtube and facebook. 06:26, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Admin
Hey thanks.. don't worry being late :). It wasn't something I had in mind when I first came here, but it's nice to be. EbonySkyrim (talk) 22:16, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Camlorn
Thanks Auto! I just added text from a really old edit so there was SOMETHING there. A lot of those pages had a fair bit of content on them, which got removed when they got moved to "City x (Arena)" pages :( Ah well. Anyways - thanks! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 14:18, October 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I do not mind having the Arena pages for them, but I feel that they should have a lore-type of page. However, I'd like to have (and this is something I put on the Consensus Track section a while back) them as the main pages, such as Camlorn, and then have the other pages, such as Camlorn (Arena), and Camlorn (Online) as other pages, rather than having it as Camlorn (Lore). (It's either that or have pages show up in the Orphaned Pages category. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:19, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * When we last discussed this on IRC, we agreed that - in most cases - the lore page should always be " (Lore)" and the game names gets the game name, like: " (Skyrim)" - It's confusing to have the "main" or "lore" page as the Arena page. What gives Arena priority over Online? Nobody even looks at the arena pages. Orphans should be dealt with via the disambig page and linking from relevant game pages. For example: The Disambig is "Windhelm" and in that we have all the variants, such as: Windhelm (Arena), Windhelm (Skyrim), Windhelm (Online) and Windhelm (Lore). Jimeee (talk) 16:44, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Elder Scrolls Online Tab
Hi Auto, I just saw it myself.. it's probably under making and I have no idea how to edit the top. Maybe only the "top-top" Admins can do that. Alduin asked about this on Timeoin's page. Maybe he knows something about it. He has been doing a lot in the Online section.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 15:57, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome
Thanks for the Welcome and the page template for the Morrowind quests. I do intend to contribute more to the Morrowind articles here in future as i am playing through Morrowind at the moment but may not be around often due to university (i am also busy as an admin on Gun Wiki).

Thanks again JPDurzel (talk) 21:32, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

About a video in an article
I want to put a video in the Path of the Incarnate, policies says that i cannot put one in main space articles, unless they are officialy realeased by Bethesda Softworks.

Then comes the doubt: my video is a speech from Azura, still not being released by the company, it is in the game. Can it be put or not?

Here is the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-4dQ2_rtvE

Bugs template
Oh - I thought that all bugs sections should be hidden and have the template. The short ones shouldn't have the template, be hidden, or both? Cubears (talk) 03:10, October 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can see not hiding short bugs sections, assuming the intent is to not clutter articles visually with bug reports. However, if the intent was to hide potential spoilers, then they all should be hidden, but I think that's less likely.


 * In any case, I think the template is kind of important, since it tells people what is acceptable for a bug report. I will hold off on hiding short sections for now, but can you all discuss amongst the admins whether the bugs template should always be there? Cubears (talk) 19:07, October 20, 2013 (UTC)
