Sect stubs
Hi there, please do not add the in articles, in some articles there was already a stub template. We use the instead at the bottom. There is no need for several stubs in an article. Thanks 13:55, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I'll make sure not to do it in the future, thanks for telling me. Flugsmith (talk) 14:33, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

Ariela
Hello. I am not sure if you are the one who did it, but you Edited the page about her and you put Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind when she is from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I Edited and changed it back to Oblivion.

Yeah, I think that was me. Apologies, I don't what I was thinking. Thanks for correcting it :) Flugsmith (talk) 16:12, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Quotes
Hello,Im interested in helping you add a quote for every character in Skyrim,perhaps so,can I help you out? M.Owen LFC! Say Hi! stalk 17:23, December 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah sure, I would appreciate it if you helped out. At the moment I am doing them a city at a time, as its easier to keep track that way. Thanks in advance :). Flugsmith (talk) 18:30, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Necessary Articles?
I think it's safe to assume that these are actual characters from in-game, unless otherwise stated (e.g. Vikalar Skull-Shatterer). Reading the stuff from the interactive map, it's made clear that it's either in-game dialogue, or from a journal, notes, letter, etc, much of which references characters and events confirmed to appear in ESO.

Why the revert?
Hey can you please explain to me why you reveted my edit. Here i can show you a link http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Elisa_Pierrane?diff=1316457&oldid=1316455 thanks please tell me Crazy131 (talk) 17:48, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I reverted your edited because there was a mistake, and the rest was unneeded. The mistake was 'Breaton', which is spelt 'Breton'. The rest, well, perhaps it could have stayed. But, I felt the former edit was worded fine, and did not need changing. Mostly the spelling error though. Okay, nothing personal. Flugsmith (talk) 17:56, January 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * However I think other than that mistake I it read better however so I think my information was pretty good so but I need another opnion Crazy131 (talk) 18:00, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe I was a bit hasty with the revert once I saw the spelling error. I apologize. Feel free to reword the article again, looking over the article again, I see you morive. Watch for spelling errors though. Flugsmith (talk) 18:02, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Unproductive category-adding
Thanks for telling me. I've been watching his edits ever since he added that a character's name means "buckle" in Icelandic. However, i'll have to wait until my connection clears up, as it is barely usable by now (hence the late reply). Hopefully, one simple warning will make him stop. 19:58, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, I'll leave a warning next time :). Flugsmith (talk) 22:28, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about the categories.

Reverting all of my edits
Flugsmith,

I understand now about me changing Background to Combat: that section wasn't even supposed to be there. I think you may not have noticed some of the other edits I've been making to those pages.

When I add which Daedric Prince they serve, I am getting my information from within the wiki, on their pages from oher games. If the problem is I a not referencing my edits, I will be sure to do so in the future

Sincerely (talk) 22:16, January 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, I've been removing the edits that state Daedra as serving a specific prince. Since  is not out yet, we cannot state points, such as which Prince they serve, as this information is unconfirmed. Please don't add anymore info like this, until you can fully, and comprehensibly source, and prove your claim. Thanks. Flugsmith (talk) 22:26, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Daedra serving Mehrunes Dagon?
I'm sorry, I will check my references more in the future.

Re:Removing Redlinks
My logic was that people will know to link certain things if they are not linked on the page, if they try to pull up the page they're bound to find out it doesn't exist, and better yet create the page. The redlinks just make the page look unprofessional for no good reason. Zippertrain85 (talk) 23:22, January 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I see your reasoning, but redlinks are there for a reason. Yes, redlinks may look a bit shabby and make the article look untidy. But, if there are no redlinks to warn editors, admins and patrollers that that page requires creation, than there is a possibility it will be missed out and not created all together. Please don't remove redlinks in the future as it is unhelpful to the wiki. If you feel I am wrong, feel free to ask an admin on the issue, and if I am wrong, fair play.

I understand. It kind of hints editors of pages they can work on, that makes sense. I won't do it again. Zippertrain85 (talk) 17:41, January 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. Also remember to put an indent after replying to a message, it makes it easier to read :). On source mode its the 'colon' key.

My Edits
I was unaware of said policy and I thank you for informing me. I was just using the UESP's to fill some of the many many many blanks the Morrowind articles have. Had I not used some of the info the pages I edited would be mostly blank. I looked at some of the other "Writ for" Morag Tong Quests and they were strikingly similar to the UESP version. Like the Writ for Toris Saren page, it was almost identical to the UESP version. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 14:25, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. When you say they were similiar, do you mean they were like that before you added the UESP content? Also please could you remove the stuff you took from UESP, wouldn't want them getting angry now, would we.
 * The Link I posted to the Writ for Toris Saren above is from the history, its from before I edited it. If you click on the link and the one from the UESP you can see that they are almost identical. In fact whoever wrote those only took out a few sentences that were in parenthesis from the UESP. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 14:40, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Dark Brotherhood (Lore)
It's an ok article, there are many that are in worse states and I've seen you working on it for some time now. But if I had time to do it, I'd rewrite the page in places.

Major things I see are:


 * I'm not sure if all mentions of player character and games have been removed. I removed some of them, but not all.


 * Notable characters section include all members we known, that's not really correct. Minor members can be left to specific game pages. The section should be filtered out reorganized. It also look ugly just being a long thin list of names.


 * Notable sanctuaries section also needs to be filtered. Minor mentions can be left to the history section.


 * Page has many quote and picture issues, we have to make all of this work in layouts of different sizes.

--Ikabite (talk) 14:47, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. I'll try to focus more on those areas whilst editing the page. Perhaps the notable members should be filtered into Night Mother, Listeners, and Black Hand members? And maybe a few others such as Veezara, the last Shadowscale.

RE:My Edits
Hey Flug, I've started to fix the pages I previously edited so they don't look like the UESP pages. I would rather not remove all the info...so the pages don't stay blank like they were before. So I've rewritten most of what was there. Here and here are the pages I've already changed. See if this is ok, if its not contact me and I'll remove and/or change it more. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 20:12, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've finished fixing all my edits on the Morrowind pages and have also fixed two other Writ quests that where almost identical to the UESP. You are welcome to take a look and see if they are all according to the policies. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 22:26, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
