Images
Hey EbonySkyrim! Um ... yeah, sorry about that. It was me that did that. I saw it come up in the recent changes, and changed it. The reason I put them as is for copyright reasons. Because Bethesda were the ones that created the game, we have to legally put a notice that says it was a screenshot from their game, etc. The one that you had is for self-made images (i.e. someone making a completely new image, or fan art, etc). As for the newness - thats okay. I probably should have left a message earlier to explain why I did that - and my apologies that I did not. So - in short, yes, any screenshots from the games should have that template that says that it is from Bethesda. Even though you did make the screenshot, its still taken from a media that they made, so we have to reference this, if that makes sense? Anyways - sorry again, and if there's anything I can do to help - just let me know! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 08:25, March 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it is. But - we were getting hundreds of images added every day for the past few months, and its backed up quite a bit in that time :( So yeah, it will take a little while :) Glad to know that you know about copyright, too, and that we were able to help you out on the wiki! Its why we edit :D Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:27, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Are your recent image uploads such as Firebrand wine case from www.skyrimwiki.com?

 * It's cool. I just need to check these kinda things to be 100% sure. Thanks though.

My mistake if you aren't satisfied with it. Generally if there is already an image I just upload a new version so the credit stays with the original poster.

You are welcome to revert back to your image if you want. Most images I post are improvements on what's already available; higher resolution or texture quality ect. What image are you referring to?

Re: Okay
Sorry, feel free to revert to your images or change them around as you see fit. Any page can use more images. Put my images into a gallery or something if you choose to do that. :)

Sorry once again. I'm certainly not opposed to showing your work as well as mine. Thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't want anyone covering up my hard work either.

Hi again, I take all the images myself. They are in game images and not from the creation kit.

Journal Covers
Hi again EbonySkyrim,

I was going to do high resolution renders of those covers since they are going to be used extensively with other large resolution images.

If you don't mind, I would probably upload them over what you've added. And yes those could stand to be renamed to something a little more friendly, but may require an admin to do so.

 * Alright. You just were quick on getting those images up. I didn't think anyone else would notice!


 * Thanks :) Zimakaru (talk) 21:16, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Journal covers renamed
Hey EbonySkyrim,

I have renamed your 3 journal cover images according to how they are named in the Creation Kit. I've already fixed the image link on the pages, since renaming the image doesn't automatically change the name on the pages. They are as follows:


 * File:Journal01.png - Dark Beige
 * File:Journal02.png - Orange Red
 * File:Journal03.png - Dark Red

Small tip
Just a little pointer when fixing removing 2nd person per: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hail_Sithis?curid=44505&diff=686989&oldid=683166

Often you dont need to link Dragongorn several times in the same article - once it has been linked one the rest can remain un-linked.

Secondly, pages that are written in the 2nd person often need a wording overhaul, as using "The Dragonborn" in every sentence doesn't read well and is jarring. A good example of a quest page where "the player" or "dragonborn" is hardly used is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Touching_the_Sky_%28Quest%29. You can see it reads much nicer. Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the help :)

 * Good job, the quest reads much better now!

Canvas image sizes
Hey EbonySkyim, Just a tip about editing the character images. When you edit your images, do you think you can canvas the image size to either 600 x 1080 or 600 x 1000 depending on the image resolution you have. This is just a suggestion as I'm trying to put something in place for resolution consistency so things match all around with our Skyrim character images. Right now, we have images that are over-sized, flat, too small, or stretched. It would be nice to see the character pages with similar image structure. If you need any information on how to canvas an image, just let me know. It's pretty simple. Keep up the good work! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:05, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Forgetting about Fjola
I read the page and it's much better now. The headings help break it up and make it clearer. Thanks!

Images containing UI elements
Hey EbonySkyrim, I renamed those two images for you, so it's all sorted now. :)

On another note there was something I wanted to bring to your attention if you're going to continue to add new images to characters pages, and that is to always make sure that no UI (user interface) elements are included with the image, such as the crosshairs. Use the console command  to turn off menus, and use it again to turn it back on. Or, if you're not comfortable using console commands you can go into Settings -> Display and move the HUD Opacity slider all the way to the left until no HUD is visible, then take the screenshot.

You don't have to replace all the images that you've uploaded so far, as some of them are just fine, but it would be best to adhere to the media policy and not include these HUD elements in your new images if your goal is to replace older poorer quality images with higher quality images. If you have any questions or need any tips on using console commands feel free to ask. Keep up the good work! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:24, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
