Welcome
Hi, welcome to OblivioWiki! Thanks for your edit to the Confront the King page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Michaeldsuarez (Talk) 15:55, October 21, 2009

Cloud Ruler Temple
The only thing I did on that page was to remove "Jerall Mountains locations" from the list of categories :) (At least, that is all that SHOULD have taken place :s. If it accidentally took out that information, by all means, put that back in there (Oh, and also, yes, sources would be good. Its always good to have Canon sources to back up this sort of thing) (I do vaguely remember hearing something about it being destroyed by the time of Skyrim though, just cant place where) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:40, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know how add sources, though, but I know that one is "The Rise and Fall of the Blades", a book found in Delphine's secret basement in Riverwood, another is "Thalmor Dossier: Esbern", found in the dungeon in The Thalmor Embassy Dungeon. Draevan13 (talk) 05:43, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Bolstering The Ranks
Hey,

Thanks for working on the Bolstering The Ranks Article. However, it was still not up to the basic standards on the wiki when you removed the Attention template. I have put the template back, please dont remove those kind of templates until its problems are resolved

Thanks and happy editing

Vampire Lord Bugs
Hi Draevan, I saw your message on Deyvid's talk page and thought I might be able to help. He probably removed the bug because it isn't confirmed. Needs confirmation or unconfirmed or confirmed should never be added to articles. Instead put it on the talk page and try and recreate the bug for confirmation and then it can be put on the article. Check the Style and Formatting guide for more info.

Hope this helps. Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 23:53, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hey,

We noticed your doing alot of small edits on the Wikia, while there is nothing wrong with that we ask that you add more and do it all in one edit instead of doing two or three edits on one article.

We know not every edit can be big, but if your not careful people will start to think your badge hunting, and thats never fun

Thanks and happy editing

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:52, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm not badge hunting, just making little grammar and puncuation edits. Draevan13 (talk) 21:59, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Things of interest
Hi there! Please be aware that American English is the only appropriate spelling system we use on the wiki as per our our style guide. This is only overruled by in-game book, text, and dialogue that may use Oxford variants. Just a heads up. You may also find this template amusing: User-GrammarNazi. You are free to display that and others on your userpage should you wish. :) -- 23:19, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Conversion of apostrophes to &amp;apos
Hello,

I've noticed that on The Jagged Crown (Quest), you've converted almost all (if not all) of the apostrophes to "&amp;apos". Is there any reason, or was it by accident? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 23:23, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "&amp;apos". Draevan13 (talk) 23:59, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Ugh, it looks like the wiki is autoconverting most of the punctuation into this format, according to Zelron (at my talk page) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 00:01, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Blocked?
I'm not sure why you was blocked. I don't see you listed as blocked on the wiki?

TK-999 is not a TESwiki admin, but a member of Wikia's anti-spam/vandalism volunteers. You should probably message him about the mixup.

Jimeee (talk) 16:31, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Never mind, I guess the block was lifted... though I was still blocked just a few moments ago. Odd.

At any rate, thanks. Draevan13 (talk) 16:45, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Just to quote you

I wasn't using a "Strawman argument" (I don't even know what that is),  you didn't specify what you thought was speculation.

Let's say he is alive. Since he's not a God anymore, he's trapped in Oblivion, just as any other mortal would be, and odds are we're not going to see any more of him, just like all the other characters from Morrowind. I'm not saying you're wrong, just don't state your opinion as a fact.

'''i really find it interesting how you contradicted yourself here even though you put up an argument for the sake of proving me a troll. if you think me a troll thats your opinion. but don't go around saying that^ then a day later state your own opinion as fact. the notion (IN MY OPINION) is childish. feel free to dissagree, report, message or say nothing at your leisure.'''

thanks.

Equillibrium

Judging by your talk page, Equlibrium, it seems that I was correct: you do troll quite a bit.

In response to your pathetic attempt at making yourself look witty on my talk page, it's not an opinion that you were being rude, insulting and offensive: that is a fact. Ergo, your comment on my talk page is rendered invalid.

PS: It proves my point when you're stalking my comments on other blogs just to start arguments with me: you are a troll. Better luck next time, once again. Please try some more pathetic attempts to look witty, you do nothing but prove me right at every turn. Thanks!

-Draevan

it was not an attempt to look witty or stalk your comments, i found it while i was browsing and its something i honestly thought you should know. and if your the only person saying im a troll and it isn't set in stone by some admin because i've been reported for abuse then guess what? its your opinion of me and yours alone. but thats what your doing here. your stating you own opinions as fact. deny whatever you want, but your level of hipocrisy is practically trolling in and of itself. you ask me to respect others opinions yet you write off my own as "offensively stated" and "trolling". likewise here, you say not to state your own opinions as fact, yet somehow here your own opinions ARE fact. if by now im not getting through to you on this issue, then by all means STOP FEEDING THE TROLL.

thanks again for responding

Equillibrium

One thing that trolls do a lot is try to make themselves not look like trolls. Your attempts at doing to is quite laughable. You go around looking posting comments you know will get people to argue because you're a troll.

Saying that vanilla is better than chocolate is an opinion. Saying that green is better than blue is an opinion. When someone is swearing, being hostile and rude is not an opinion, it's a fact. You can say that I'm stating my opinion as a fact until hell freezes over, it doesn't change anything. What I stated wasn't an opinion, it's a fact. If I would call you an ugly, disgusting sad excuse for a human being, that wouldn't be an opinion that I was insulting you, that would be a fact. You go on blogs and pick fights with people by insulting them, swearing, being rude and hostile. And since the admins have been deleting your comments on various blogs, I'm not the only person thinking that.?

Nice try, once again, but no dice. The best thing to do when one is in a grave is to stop digging. Not you, though: you keep on going, trying to prove you're not a troll all while incriminating yourself even further.

Keep trying, though. I can always use a good laugh.? Draevan13 (talk) 14:47, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Stop
Both of you - just stop it, now. This argument is going absolutely nowhere.

Resonance Gems
Is that right? I don't remember the journal specifically mentioning that, so I never even thought to read it over again. xD I'll definitely have to do so again, because this is really the last quest I have to do before finishing DragonBorn. I really hope it's not a random find in master chests/merchandise tables, but I've cleaned out every location in Solstheim and I still haven't found them yet. D: Thanks for the tip, though. Let me know if you find them in any fixed locations. GarouxBloodline


 * Greatly appreciated! Must have passed it up during my trek through there. Hope the prize for getting all 4 is worth it. ;) Would it be too much to hope that I can get a Dwemer ballista as a companion? I'll settle with the sphere, though. That sucker can hold its own in combat; especially playing on the Master difficulty. :'D GarouxBloodline

"Unimportant quests"
Take a look. I think you're wrong. These quests are just as relevant as any quest and according to the Style & Formatting guide every quest a character is involved in should be added. If you're not convinced an admin will have to take a look at it because it's kinda arbitrary to change back valid information.--Virrey (talk) 14:32, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Forum Thread
I wanted to apologize for the need to delete your thread about ESO killing the TES franchis. The conversation had gone off topic pretty bad and was nothing but fictional racist rantings, so I removed it as opposed to deleting half the thread. I wanted you to know that it wasn't your doing, but poor choices of fellow wikians. Ability is what you can do, motivation is how much you do, attitude is how well you do it. (talk) 17:20, August 26, 2013 (UTC)PsijicThief

Ooookay... there were two or three racist comments from last week, no one really commented since yesterday and I didn't see any ranting but fine, it's closed. DRAEVAN13 19:43, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

Storm v Imperial
I'll begin taking special care on these threads and reviewing as soon as they arise. Thanks for the heads up. I had mostly been ignoring those from my computer at work becuase they take too long to load with all the posts they accumulate. I'll see if I can't nip them in the bud from now on, though.

Re: King of Miscarcand
Sure.. I'll add what I can find to that article. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:58, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Vlastarus
Hi Draevan. I would say it shouldn't be there as it is only a fort in Oblivion.. I have no idea in what era TES online is in, if it is set earlier, the fort can be the last ruin of the city of course, but as long as there is no reference I would leave it out. I saw that you asked Kenny too, before doing anything more let's here what he thinks. EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:56, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, that is some time before Oblivion. In my opinion it shouldn't be there and if it is true, one can add Oblivion then. Have you asked where MHInfinite know about this? EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:29, September 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * No I haven't asked him/her. Personally I've played Oblivion countless time, and I know for sure there's no town called Vlatarus in the game. I'll remove Oblivon from the town's appearances. DRAEVAN13  21:46, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Siege of the Imperial City (Lord of Souls)
Sure. Make sure to add references. Jimeee (talk) 15:43, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * References.... in source mode you add the ref tags and add the reference between them: and at the bottom under References add . Have a look in source mode on an article so you can see. Have a look at this short article Daedric Titan. 18:59, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks fine so far. I haven't read the books so I can't say anything about the content. :) I made a few changes... When writing long paragraphs make a pause between now and then or it will be very hard to read. Try and add the ref tags as I discribed where you want them and I'll help if you get into trouble. 19:11, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Have a look in source mode, I added one reference.. :) The ref tags in the article at the top and reflist at the bottom of the page. Try and add the second one now. 19:35, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Your welcome :) When I'm not sure about things I usually check other articles if someone haven't got time. I learned a lot doing so but keep asking if there is something you want to know. 19:40, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Page seems fine at a glance. I'll make a few tweaks. Also we shouldn't be using the battle infoboxes anymore as people always add speculation. All the info can be presented in the main page. Good job. Jimeee (talk) 09:51, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Stargate Question, regarding Baal
After watching the Stargate series again, I think I watched in the wrong order due to Baal and his clones showing up again. I have a couple of lists with a watch in this order setup. Just wondering if you have insight into the watch order for the series and movies, especially in relation to Baal. Thanks for your time and I like the Baal photo, he was my favourite Bad guy in the Stargate series.Conan&#39;s Armpit (talk) 10:18, October 17, 2013 (UTC)

Draevan, I was told that vandalism should be reported to TES:VIP. Cubears (talk) 23:31, October 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reporting and it has been delt with, but it's better to report on the page Cubears has linked to so when you see this again, use that page as all admins check this often. :) 09:00, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Responding to the message on Tomb's page.
Hey there! I saw your message on TombRaiser's talk page, and I wanted to let you know that your revision Imperial Legion Soldier (Skyrim) looks good. I browsed the previous revision and your's was definitely the superior image. You're definitely more than welcome to reuse images from other locations from the wiki. All of the images uploaded here, so long as they are unique and not from another wiki, are acceptable. Use your own judgement; be bold! If you have any further questions about editing, check out our library of help pages. Most of them were authored by myself. Also, it may be beneficial for you to look over our styling sheet. That help page intends to explain the proper layout and how-tos for articles of all types. Hope this helps :). -- 03:49, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Draevan! Bothering you again here to recind my earlier statement. While official concept art of characters, enemies, locations etc. vastly improves articles. We always want the infobox image to be an in-game screenshot. Certainly the image you needed will remain in the article somewhere. Ebony brought this to my attention and refreshed my memory on our stylistic layout for character articles. Also, I wanted to point out the changes you made to the article during this edit. Please be aware that we always want an article to have a lead paragraph. If you decide not to follow the link in the last sentence, the leader is the first few paragraphs of an article that briefly summarize and (keyword here) describe the article's subject matter. It was for this reason that I changed the layout of the article to its current structure. Our style guide states this all out rather clearly, as does the guide for character articles. Please consider giving them a glance over; I guarantee you will be a better editor because of it. Thanks, and happy editing! -- 11:26, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

-- 01:55, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Draevan, could you please provide the standard size for character images when showing full armor. As in the image policy for consistency. 600x1000px and a larger image size if possible for the location/quest images? That would be great. I myself have a standard of 1,634 × 1,048 pixels.. Thanks. 08:19, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * There, I uploaded the new photos with their proper size. Problem is, the quest image with Rikke and Fasendil were actually 1100 by 700 pixels, it just doesn't appear that way when I add it to the article for some odd reason.  DRAEVAN13 14:28, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Blog and RP.
I just made a blog I want to see your opinion on.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Zippertrain85/No,_that%27s_NOT_my_opinion.

Also, if you have the time, I think you'll like this RP I made since I know how much you like Argonians.

Images
Nice addition to the Imperial Soldier article. However, word of advice. Please only upload one image. I did notice that each of the recent images you uploaded were uploaded two or three times each. Please be aware that, when you click the "upload" button, it does not add the image to the article. You have to go back and manually enter the file name. Also, if you noticed that you uploaded the image at a lower resolution, you can click on the "update file" link directly on the file page, and update it to a newer version. The number of unused images is already excessively high on the wiki, so we do not want to add more to that workload. If you find that you cannot replace the current version of an image, or if duplicates are accidentally uploaded. Add the delete template to it, with a brief description of why you're flagging it for deletion, and an admin will take care of it. Happy editing. :) -- 17:15, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was told by EbonySkyrim to upload some new ones that were 1000 by 600 pixels, I wasn't really sure how to delete the previous ones. And the one with Rikke and Fasendil is acting oddly, I increased its size but it stayed the same on the Wiki for some odd reason. DRAEVAN13  17:51, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, image size is 600 px width and 1000 px height. (Now I'm being picky) ;) Leave the imperial soldier for now but it is a little bit too high, 1160px.. maybe you can take a new one later. What you do is you "upload a new version" instead of a new one. It's under the filehistory. What resolution do you have on your computer? 20:28, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but it's an HDMI monitor? The game was running at 1080p? (I'm new to gaming computers) DRAEVAN13  21:01, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, if you rightclick on the desktop you can find out the resolution. I have a 24' monitor and resolution 1920x1080px and the game is adapted to this. You can choose under options when you have started the game, before you click play. 22:25, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, in that case I have a 23' Monitor with a 1920x1080px resolution. I had Skyrim on Ultra-High quality on 1920x1080px. DRAEVAN13  22:30, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Then you just crop the image, don't make it smaller, and for characters 600x1000. But try and take an image straight in front of them, looking into the camera, have a look on other character images. Tomb and I have uploaded the most of them. 22:45, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Well Done :)
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for going through many pointless arguments with Zipper to prove to him that what he says is just his opinion/interpretation of fact and not undeniable, definite and irrefutable proof that the Stormcloaks are 100% right and are the best, most powerful and most morally right group in all of TES universe. :) Is that so. Well... (talk) 16:34, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I know he might still believe some of his arguments are irrefutable fact (though I may be wrong about that), but if he's changed his mind on even one point and conceeded it's an opinion/interpretation then I've succeeded.  DRAEVAN13


 * Draevan, he probably doesn't care about this. He most likely only left that comment because he wants to get a rise out of me. He's been doing this for a while, and I'm seriously considering to report him. Zippertrain85 (talk) 17:17, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * It could be.  DRAEVAN13 17:21, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not true at all.Is that so. Well... (talk) 07:12, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Framed.
I need your help Draevan. I've been framed by Lyra Heartstring for cyberbullying and trolling her, as well as denying the Holocaust and making fun of her Japanese Nationality. I have never done any of these things, if anything it's the other way around! Yet she has told this blatent lie to the staff. Since you've seen her troll people, please tell Man of Steak and Tombraiser as well as all other members of the staff that this is a lie. I could be getting blocked for a long time for this. Zippertrain85 (talk) 01:23, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Draevan. I really appriciate what you did. Also, I'm sorry if I've been kind of rude to you in the past during some debates. Zippertrain85 (talk) 04:54, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Regarding the complaint against Zippertrain85 by Lyra
Do you have any proof confirming this, such as a screenshot? If so, it would be vital in Zipper's defence and would show Lyra to be the troll. Thanks for your input.

yeah i saw that as well, the imperial edition. there is also a new cinematic video called "The Arrival", you should give it a watch. im not going to make another blog post because ESO has had a large influx of news come in all at once and i don't want to have to make a seperate blog post for each new reveal. i encourage users on my blogs to keep themselves up to date on it all by checking the official news page, twitter account, blogs, etc..

RE: User Arshudar Al-Muhdarin
I'm not trying to start an argument here or anything, but I saw the comment you left on TombRaiser's page, and though I do agree that user is using "Stormcloak Propaganda" for lack of a better term, he might've gotten the non-Nord piece from how you can encounter random Imperials and Redguards to join the Stormcloaks, implying Non-Nords do indeed make up the ranks. I'm not trying to justify pro-Stormcloak disruptive edits, I'm just simply pointing out how they might've came to that conclusion. I am Sylar (talk) 02:26, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * If that's the case, then I think you're right. He shouldn't be adding that on the pages, as it's far too opinion based and just downright incorrect in some cases. I am Sylar (talk) 02:35, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * As you have already left him a message about it on his talk page, I'll wait for him to respond to you, before doing anything else. We do go by what is in the game and in the Creation Kit, and as far as I know, you are correct that there are no "Non-Nord Stormcloaks" in the game, only those that say they are "on their way to join". — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:08, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Screenshots

 * Hey Draevan, do you know how to take Screenshots on a PC? Since I want to upload photos to the Wiki, but I don't know how I would take the picture in Skyrim. I am Sylar (talk) 05:23, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your disurptive editing on the Civil War page
Your statement is an outright lie. You have systematically continued to remmove the entire passage, not simply the part about the individuals being Imperials, and this can be verified by anyone who examines the history of the Civil War page. I will continue to closely watch your edits on these articles, as they first of all amount to misinformation and are borderlining on vandalism. I will correct them where necessary, and contact TES Wiki administrators where appropriate. Arshudar Al-Muhdarin (talk) 11:27, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

I have already discussed the situation with the Admins a few weeks ago, and they told me that I was right and that you were at fault: THERE ARE NO NON-NORD STORMCLOAKS. I've contacted them again and returned the Civil War page to a factual state. Stop adding Stormcloak propaganda/fanboy mis-information.

Wow, you're such a hypocrite. You remove instances of Nords joining the Imperial Legion on the Civil War page, for which there is ample evidence to support, then whine about me removing your mis-information? Amazing.  DRAEVAN13  14:41, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * He's right Arshudar, we never see any non-Nords in the Stormcloak ranks, in-game. We do see some Imperials who are going to join, but we don't actually ever see them in the ranks. I'm a Stormcloak supporter, but I'm not going to deny this. Please stop with this edit war, you're becoming a boarderline vandal if you keep adding false info to the mainspace Civil War articles. I am Sylar (talk) 16:29, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Books and Threads
About the books, I notice that in them a lot of odd things are introduced, things that contradict lore, for example according to Infernal City the Empire is a Authoritarian Dictatorship with absolutely no Freedom of Expression, or that there's so city floating in the Skyrim with chefs in it? I personally don't like it. About the Forums, that's a known glitch. Try pressing control F5 to fix it, though that may not work if you're using Google Chrome. I am Sylar (talk) 21:07, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, you did claim in a debate a while back how the Emperor has Secret Police that kill anyone who criticizes him, according to the book. Do you have mac? Because Safari seems to do it for me. I would say, keep expermenting with other browsers if you don't. I am Sylar (talk) 21:25, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Orsinium Edits
Ummm... No it does. I guess I need to explain this.

"Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times."

Alright first of all If what your saying is true and there is only two Orsiniums, than that means Orsinium has only been sacked and rebuilt Once, which already conflicts with that statement.

The PGE3: Orsinium (released in Oblivion) was made a year before the Oblivion Crisis (the last year of the thrid era, meaning Orsinium still stood until the Fourth Era as we never heard about it being sacked in.

Then there is the fact that it says that this new Orsinium was built in between Skyrim and Hammerfell (definitely not in the Wrothgarian Mountains like the old Orsinium), which proves that there is a new Orsinium

Do me a favor and stop removing the edit.
