Spell base costs
MAY I ask how i was wrong on both the 'dragonhide' and 'mass paralysis' i have nothing on that could lower the number or any perks affecting it. as im looking at it now it says 519 for dragonhide and 587 for mass paralysis. can you please tell me the actuall number if possible?0701132326 (talk) 21:06, August 27, 2013 (UTC)MistBreaker


 * You were wrong because the Creation Kit said so. The CK is the only way to validate information. Obviously both of you saw different things while claiming you had no buffs. That is why we use the data found in the CK, to verify, and you both were wrong. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:23, August 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * ok so now heres were the problem is.. the creation kit is obviously outdated if i can confirm that with no buffs and a second account both said 519 for dragonhide and 587 for mass paralysis for the PS3 System. then is the creation kit still correct?0701132326 (talk) 01:24, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * And, what level are you in Alteration and Illusion? You can't get a base statistic if you're leveling the skill, because magicka cost would go down when you level the skill. The Creation Kit is always up to date, where do you think these updates come from? The Creation Kit. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:35, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Was about to talk about levels, but you beat me to it Tomb :| Kroq-gar78 (talk) 01:36, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * my second i made for this little excursion. i only trained alteration just up to the point of getting the quest..i had a dwarven sword for the fight with a dragon..the base values still listed the same!!
 * i always investigate before i post.0701132326 (talk) 03:06, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Creation Kit measures base values from level 0. The default starting point for all skills (at least at character creation and without race bonuses) is 15. The higher the level in a particular skill, the lower the magicka cost is for casting spells pertaining to that school and skill, so even if you haven't tried to level the skill, you might have read a skill book. Regardless, the starting levels skew the number anyway. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 03:12, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Nice Chracters you have your skyrim chracters looking unique.

Other user undoing my edits.
Hi i'm having an issue with another user, Erik the mad. for some time he hasbeen undoing essential edits on pages without giving viable reasons, and doesn't even try and contibute to the page. I am not the only one who has been annoyed by this, and you are probably aware of this already, but could you please try and do something about this?

I would appreciate it if you give a response soon.

Help with the Gray Cowl
Hi Tomb, after going through a few pages correcting it struck me and I had a look in the CS and there the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal is named Gray Cowl of Nocturnal (done). I can't rename the page as it excists already under the redirect... how to rename it the easiest way? EbonySkyrim (talk) 11:04, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks and done, but there is one link left on a locked page of Kennys... Kennys Sandbox :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:32, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Brandy or brandy
I was wondering, on the page "Colovian Brandy", and all other beverage pages for that matter, is it supposed to be "Brandy", i.e like a brand name, or "brandy", as in brandy from Colovia? If it's the latter, we're going to have to change all the beverage pages (Alto Wine, Nord Mead, Black-Briar Mead, etc) since they're all capitalised. DRAEVAN13 21:06, September 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * According to our style and formatting guide on capitalization of article names, the name should appear as it does in game. Unless you were saying something like: "Colovian Brandy" is a bottle of brandy in Skyrim. The brandy can be found in a chest. -- then that's cause for de-cap of brandy. So in the case of Colovian Brandy, Nord Mead, Black-Briar Mead, that should remain as it appears in game. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  02:26, September 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll revert Erik the Mad's changes on the Colovian Brandy page, then. DRAEVAN13  18:24, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

King of Miscarcand
Tomb, can you have a look in the CS for the stats of him? I have a hard time to get it right.. I looked at Lich but I'm not sure. EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:48, September 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * After dissecting the rest of the info from the CS, I was able to come up with the list of the lich's abilities and some other small corrections. I've added the popup template to the spell/abilities list because there are many spells and abilities that the King of Miscarand has. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:56, September 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm still a bit confused how to read the stats on some in the CS.. and I'm so glad you added that popup template to use. EbonySkyrim (talk) 07:18, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Console commands
Had a small edit war on Console Commands (Skyrim) regarding the lead. As I was involved, I'm not going to keep going back and forth with it, I'm hoping you (or another admin) can look at it and and come to a decision on the wording. relevant talk pages: Me, Eric the red & Speysider. Since I spent a lot of time on the pages I'm pretty biased about them, but if changes to the lead are needed, then they should be made. 07:51, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

So...
So, I have played Fallout 2 and Driver San Francisco. I have also recently been playing Defiance rather extensively. Clearly, I will be ready for this. I have also been re-watching Star Trek, because I know that this is where Fleet Headquarters is located. Am I prepared enough? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:20, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Redirects
Imo, not all unused redirects need to be deleted. Specifically, the ones that refer to a subspecies of enemy that might get its own page eventually. Just wanted to say that for future reference, although I don't think any of those sorts of redirects have been deleted. Also, maybe you or others could decide on the best name to encompass "Rest", "Beds (Oblivion)", and "Sleeping (Skyrim)", since it's kinda confusing to have all those different names. I.e. "X" is the main or disambig page, and "X (Game name)" are the subpages. Oh, and "Wolves" needs to be fixed. --Shockstorm (talk) 00:32, September 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, not all unused redirects need to be deleted, but definitely the ones that have misspellings or alternate names should be deleted. For instance, we want to keep author names as redirects to use on the "Authors" page even if they aren't linked on a page.


 * I had the same feeling about the pages Rest, Beds, and Sleeping, and that one should be used. Right now, I don't know, so I'll bring it up with the others and see what would work best. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:54, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * "Trainers (Skyrim)" and "Template:Plant" have 2 broken links to them. I think that's it. --Shockstorm (talk) 22:56, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * "Alpha Wolf" should be moved over the redirect ("Alpha Wolf (Skyrim)") as it's also in Online. --Shockstorm (talk) 23:09, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Two more: "Underwater locations" to "Underwater Locations", and "Nymph" to "Nymph (Creature)" (it's also a skill). Thanks. --Shockstorm (talk) 07:53, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Image
Hi Tomb, can you add the image I uploaded to the Divining the Elder Scolls. I didn't see it was locked. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:47, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

Ulfric Stormcloak's wiki page.
Ulfric Stormcloak's page has false information on it. If you read the "fate" section of it you can see it says how Ulfric claims he regreats his actions against the Empire, this largly untrue. If you've seen him in Sovngarde you would know that all he talks about is how he's upset the war started when it did since all the dead souls are being eaten by Alduin. I would fix this but the page is locked. I would like to have this fixed since it's giving out false information to people. Zippertrain85 (talk) 18:14, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

Nicely Done!
I see that you have jumped up to #2 on the achievements thingy. Well done!

I know you probably did this a little while ago, but I stopped checking it a while ago.

Anyways - here's a congratulatory message.

Re Admin
Thanks so much... :) I'll have a look at the page and ask of course. You know, today I have had a little rest from TES as I got the Tomb Raider package. I've been playing Lara all day! EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:34, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tomb, sorry for the inactivity recently. I've been down being sick, and I've had a lot of work to do :/ Anyway, Equillibrium requested a review for his news blog, located here. I just tweaked it a little bit in the event that you or someone thinks that it should be main page stuff.

Maps are letters?
Hi Tomb, I've been working on that program to auto-complete the ID's again, and I've run into a small-ish problem. Are Fort Neugrad Treasure Map and Velehk Sain's Treasure Map classified as "letters"? I've ignored them for now, since I'm not entirely sure. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 17:27, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Moderator nomination
No offense, but I don't think you were really reading what I was putting down. I asked him multiple that I was trying to be the bigger man and asked him to leave politly. If that is not maturity, and if I can't have a chance to defend myself, then what kind of forum is this? I do want the position. I am prepared to take the necessary steps to be a Moderator. But you got to let me have my say in it as well. I am not going to just be shoved around.

But, thank you for giving me the oppurtunity. I will do my best. Madman97 (talk) 05:22, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Pronounciation Widget
Can you ask our benefactors this when you get to go see them? (Since I no longer get to go :(

(Thread can be found here). Oh, also - ask them if its somehow possible to get Forum stats included on the User Statistics page. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 14:30, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'll ask them about the possibility of a forums stats. I think the pronunciation template is something that could be brought to their attention right now, just by asking them via the Special:Contact form. It seems to follow the same idea of the DragonScript template. You just need someone knowledgeable of the code to make it work. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:18, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Sic template
It looks like the problem arises when it is transcluded into an italicized (or possibly any type of formatting) piece of text. ChoseChoose [sic] works, but ChoseChoose [sic] does not. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 19:14, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Replying to your Steam message
Thanks.. I'll do it as the City Guard article. About the Fighters Guild Porter article, I was thinking it looked funny when I added the images. Then forgot about it. There is hardly anything about them so a table like you suggested sounds great. I'll test it.

Then on another matter. TheLeadingContributer wanted me to add the category Category:Skyrim: Possible Stewards to Aela the Huntress as it was locked b ut this category doesn't excist. "Oops! Elder Scrolls does not have a Category page with this exact name.". Should we have this category? EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:29, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * You mean it should be mentioned in the text at the top. I'm looking at another categorypage.. like the add-ons for Oblivion. Example Category:Shivering Isles: Characters. EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:50, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:14, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * I realised when I uploaded the images, I had already uploded the Countess's Bodyguards and added them here: Countess's Bodyguard and here: Countess' Bodyguard. Shall I merge those with the Count's Bodyguard and have them all on the same page. Better to have them all on the same page I think.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:31, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Have a look now on the Fighters Guild Porter :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:08, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

possible project and advice
Hey,

I have a question, and an idea i want to run by you to help this wiki (since most of my questions of late of been for others, i want to attempt to pull my weight here)

First my idea. On Spartacus wiki, we are expanding into the actors and cast, creating full articles for them. I was thinking about us doing this here. I was thinking main actors and certain other roles.

Now the advice i need. Can an article become to large? Alot of our articles on Spartacus are becoming extremely large, and some are still growing despite the show being over. We want everything in the show added, but im fearing its getting out of hand. Am i over-thinking this, or should we look into compressing these articles.

I hope all is well, i miss talking to everybody here like i used to, believe it or not, i still count here as my home wiki.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:47, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

FAQ
I decided to try and start a FAQ section for Online. Then I realised, with the small amount of time I have due to Ethan and work, I'll probably be nearly completed this by the time the game is finished. Oh wells Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 14:16, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

Lord Hadron
Could you please go to the "How did you kill Gerold the Kind" and have a little talk to Lord Hadron. He thinks he is getting stalked on a unregistrated user and he is getting really aggressive.

He did promise to calm down but that lasted for two minutes and he started again on other threads like "I killed a DeadraLord at level 16"

Please help
