Timeline
Hi X-Mutant. Please only add new sections on Timeline and similar pages if you have something to add under it. There aren't major events for every year or even century so adding empty headings isn't exactly an improvement. You're completely free to add more to that page if you have a good event and a source, however. Thanks. Have fun editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 19:20, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Arkngthamz
Hi, please do not create articles for things that do not exist in. Arkngthamz in is in The Reach, which isn't a region you have access to in ESO. So in the future just be careful which pages you create and check if they exist in the game. Thanks. Have fun editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 22:41, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

Categories
There's no reason to add overarching/redundant categories (like you did here), so please keep that in mind. --Shockstorm (talk) 00:36, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

False Infomation
Please stop adding false/unconfirmed information to articles. For example, adding Kvatch and the Gold Coast as locations to Cyrodiil (Online) is false information as those locations to not appear, and Zenimax has not confirmed if they will appear. Adding shellbug, lurker, and silt strider to Creatures (Online) is also false as those creatures do not appear in ESO, they only appear in other games. This also applies to Azura's Coast and what not to Morrowind (Online) as Vvardenfell has not been added yet and those regions are also not confirmed.

I noticed you created some pages when you first started contributing here. While some contained true and confirmed information, others did not and I had marked for deletion, and I let it slide. Heed my advice or you may end up with a ban in the future. ☞ Rim < Talk 08:36, November 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but wikis don't work that way. We only report what does or will exist, not what may exist. I know that you may think some pages will or should appear, but there is no absolute confirmation that they will.


 * For example, take Nimalten. This location appeared in and, but not in . The Elder Scrolls Online takes place centuries prior to the main games, so many locations will be different.


 * Creatures are also not confirmed. You may think they will appear, like Werecrocodiles or Nymphs, but they haven't. This doesn't necessarily mean they won't, because there is a chance they may appear, but that is unconfirmed information, therefore referred to as speculation, and not allowed on the wiki.


 * The Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild are confirmed to appear, but we don't know much about how it will be in ESO. For all we know they could be very different, we just need to wait for them to be released in order to know.


 * The Companions in ESO follow a different storyline than in Skyrim. In ESO, it goes more into the past about Ysgramor and the origin stories, where as in Skyrim it revolves more around Lycanthropy and the Silver Hand. We don't even know if the curse existed back in ESO, it could have been something that occurred in the hundreds of years between ESO and Skyrim.


 * Daedric Princes are another thing. Most of them appear in ESO, however, some of them do not. I had to manually confirm whether they had any presence in the game, and some like Vaermina did not.


 * As for the Dawnguard, we do know that it was formed in the Second Era, but we don't know if it was after or before ESO. Any information we add on them would be myths and mere thoughts, not confirmed information.


 * Bottom line is that we can't go around adding things that we feel should appear in ESO, we only add things that do appear in ESO. You can contact Zenimax and make suggestions, but you cannot add what you think should appear in ESO to articles on the wiki. Adding things to the wiki does not automatically make them canon in The Elder Scrolls universe, we do not make the game and we cannot control what appears and what doesn't, we only record it. I hope you can understand. ☞ Rim < Talk 19:29, November 4, 2015 (UTC)
