Adding categories
I noticed you adding the Category:Artifacts to pages, please do not add this category to pages. If it's a Skyrim page you only need to add Category:Skyrim: Artifacts. Thanks. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:13, February 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * All right, I will, but I have a question: what is the purpose of the Category: Artifacts page, if there are other category pages for the artifacts for each game Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 01:18, February 26, 2013


 * The purpose of that category is to list other artifact categories. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:20, February 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * All right then, I'll try not to make that mistake again. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 01:24, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Dwemer Cleanup
Hey man, nice job on the work on the Dwemer page! I really like the info you've added. I was wondering if you can fix the references so instead of duplicates of Dwarves, v1, for example, its one reference with multiple citations. Also, I was wondering if you could find where the info is from under the section about Dwemer being "as powerful as the gods". There is a citation needed template next to of the sentences. There is also a problem with a citation error where there is ref called "dwarfsv1". Lastly, if you need any help on the Dwemer page or creation of the Dwemeris page, I'll be happy to help.

AutoBlood (talk) 21:57, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you man, I appreciate the compliment. I will try to fix the references to cleanup the page; I think I remember that the in-game book Dwarves, v1 says that the Dwemer were as powerful as the Gods. Either that, or I may have accidentally added fanon. I've been trying to focus on a lot of pages on this wiki, as there is a huge number of pages on the wiki, but I really just seem to be focusing on one or two pages at a time in order to make those pages as best as they can be; and again, thanks for the compliments.

Overlapping categories
Hi Prescott, Please don't add overlapping categories to articles, such as adding both Category:Artifacts and Category:Skyrim: Artifacts. Just Category:Skyrim: Artifacts is what should be added. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:34, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

All right, I won't, but I did see some Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim artifact pages on the Category: Artifacts page. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 18:42, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... thanks for telling me about those pages. The only pages that should be there are disambiguation or lore pages, like Auriel's Shield. All other artifacts should be under their games' artifacts pages. I'll look into that, though. Happy editing! Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:45, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * All right, thank you, and happy editing to you as well!Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 18:47, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Atmorans
Please don't change Atmorans to Nedes. Nedes are not the same as Atmorans. Nedes are not from Atmora - its a common misconception. Thanks.

Books
Hey Prescott,

First of all, great job on the Dwemer articles.

The main reason I came here though is to ask you to italicize the names of books. It's a minor English grammar thing, but I really do feel it's nice sometimes to be able to differentiate between War of the First Council and War of the First Council. Now, while we're on the topic of the War, can you check in-game (if you can) if the book has the word "The" at the very beginning of the title? Right now, The War of the First Council redirects to War of the First Council, but I have a feeling that the former was the full title of the book. Thanks, and great work! :) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:41, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment :); always glad to help out on this wiki. For your task, I'll get right on it to figure out the title of the book, which won't be so hard, as I noticed on this wiki that for each in-game book a page is made for, the locations of the book is listed. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 18:51, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Extra categories
Hey Prescott,

Can you remove extra categories on articles? For example, on Ancient Technology, you added two categories that essentially mean the same thing, and something similar happened on Dwemer History and Culture. On both articles, you added one category that exists and one that does not. Can you please remove the category that does not? That'd be much appreciated. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 16:59, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well about that; it was more of an accident that it happened, because I added a second category that was not required, but yes, I will remove those unneeded categories. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 17:08, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * One more thing. I just asked TombRaiser if I could make Category:Skyrim: Dwemer Artifacts, and she said I could. If you can, instead of adding Skyrim stuff to Category:Dwemer Artifacts, can you add it to the new one now (including articles where you've already added it to the latter). Thanks! Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:00, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * That was a good idea; and I'll add the Dwemer articles which were added to Category: Dwemer Artifacts and add them to Category: Skyrim: Dwemer Artifacts. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 21:46, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Overlapping categories
Hey Prescott,

I see you're adding overlapping categories again to a lot of articles. If I remember correctly, I've asked you before. The main thing this time is with Dwemer Artifacts and Skyrim: Dwemer Artifacts both being for the same article. If Skyrim: Dwemer Artifacts is already there, don't add Dwemer Artifacts unless the item is in a game that's not Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim (these three have their own categories; Daggerfall, for example, doesn't). Kroq-gar78 (talk) 02:32, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

All right, I'll try not to overlap categories. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 01:15, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Daedric Artifacts
Hello, I see you have been adding the Daedric Artifatcs category to the appropriate pages. The only thing is, that those pages already have the Morrowind: Daedric Artifacts category. May you please remove the over-arching categories you have put on the pages. Thank you.

Great job on the lore pages by the way, especially Dwemer! I can't wait until that can become a Featured Article.

AutoBlood (talk) 19:49, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I thought that since those two Daedric Artifacts articles did not have a title that indicated which specific game it was in, I thought that it was just supposed to be in the Daedric Artifacts category. Oh and thanks for the compliment, and I love to edit the lore articles on this wiki! And I sure hope that the Dwemer page can become a featured article! Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 20:05, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

I've seen your edits around a lot, and you seem to have a special interest in the Dwemer, which is probably one of the more obscure subjects in the Elder Scrolls. You are still keeping pages to a remarkable good standard though, well done!

Also, Chairman Prescott.. Gears of War? ParanormalAndroid (talk) 15:38, May 12, 2013 (UTC)ParanormalAndroid

Thank you! But, yes I'm focusing on the Dwemer a lot because I wanted to focus on a specific article to make it the best that it can be, instead of editing a lot of different lore articles at once, because to me, the lore articles are the hardest to revamp/revise, edit and maintain. To me, I think that most of the articles related to the games, such as the game pages themselves and game item articles are the best articles on the wiki, and the members  have a good foothold on them. The lore articles on the other hand, are harder to edit and plus it looks like the members of the wiki usually focus on game articles rather than the lore articles, which is okay, though. So I'm probably going to be focusing on the lore articles until the Elder Scrolls Online comes out. And about my username, I originally made my account because I first wanted to edit articles on the Gears of War wikia; then I discovered the Elder Scrolls.

Creating new categories
Hey Chairmanprescott, while we appreciate all your work with the Dwemer pages, could you please not create anymore new categories. There are already enough categories in place for these pages. There's no need to over do it with more categories. The introduction of new categories is something that should to be discussed and voted on in the Consensus Track forum to ensure if it's really a needed addition. Thanks. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:14, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'm a little late, but yeah I'll try. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 18:49, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Dark Brotherhood
Hi Chairmanprescott, sorry for the delayed response. I do think it's a good idea to have a lore page for Dark Brotherhood. As you mentioned there is already a lore page for the Blades. It would make sense to have a page that details the lore behind the Dark Brotherhood. I'm sure you know already, but still worth mentioning to add refs to lore pages. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:46, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

It's all right, it doesn't matter to me. But cool, sounds good, happy to help out here on the wiki. So for the Dark Brotherhood article, the article might be a short one in the beginning, because I'm still trying to find more info about the Dark Brotherhood through books, quests and other stuff.

Anyway, I have a couple of quick questions to ask you:  on this wiki, I have noticed that with most in-game characters, their history is split between a background and interactions sections for them; is it for a specific reason? Also, why are in-game items split into different articles by game? Thanks Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 01:56, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can answer your last question. Let's take, for example, Volendrung. It does different things in Morrowind and different things in Oblivion, so we decide to split the article into two (more, in this case). While the background is different, the way it fits into the individual games with their own mechanics are slightly different, and we don't want that information to become to intertwined. The history of the artifact would be in a separate lore article.


 * Now, TombRaiser, I'm wondering, should the new Dark Brotherhood lore article be made at The Dark Brotherhood or The Dark Brotherhood (Lore)? Also, yes, "the" is part of all the other Dark Brotherhood articles for the individual games (I don't like it). Kroq-gar78 (talk) 02:25, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Interesting, I guess I understand why in-game things are split into different articles, but as for locations, do they same factors for in-game items apply to locations? To comment on your comment Kroq-gar78, I'd say the article should be called "The Dark Brotherhood (Lore)." The title should contain the "(Lore)" part to help identify what the article is, but I agree, "the" part of the article titles is not great. If (or when) the other titles for the Dark Brotherhood articles are changed to remove "the" part, I think the Dark Brotherhood lore article should contain the title that has the word "the." I don't know if you are busy or not, but I don't think this decision should be made by me, because I'm not an administrator. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 16:53, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the same thing applies for locations, since they have different uses in different games.


 * TombRaiser, should we rename the Dark Brotherhood articles? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:29, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I don't know why they are named "The Dark Brotherhood" on the wiki. It clearly says in subtitles in-game the Dark Brotherhood. So, I would vote for renaming them they way it appears in-game, and to also call the Lore page Dark Brotherhood (Lore). — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:34, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, ok. Should I run this by the other admins or just go through with it? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:38, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's clearly Dark Brotherhood in the game, and also the "other site" has the correct wording. I would just go through with it, because it's a fact. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:43, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Forbidden Legend
I understand you wanting to clean up after my unfinished edits to Forbidden Legends, but why did you restore the Folgunthur heading? I was trying to change the headings to match the quest steps, and in any case, where you put that heading back is actually in the middle of Folgunthur. I'm going to finish up my edits tonight - after I'm done, if you don't like the structure, please let me know what you would do differently.

I didn't really know about your editing of the Forbidden Legend page. All I was trying to do was to make the name of the headings the best way that I thought it could be, so I was not attempting to revert your edits. --Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 16:39, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Dwemer
Hello,

Great job on Dwemer ;) I'm planning to nominate it for FA very soon (probably today), and I think that means I have to change the protection level from registered users to admins only. If you have anything else to add, you should probably do it as soon as possible. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 16:53, July 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment :)


 * I just wish that a featured article does have to mean that the protection level could (or should) be changed from registered users to administrators only, but I'm good with the plan. I just have to add some more info to the history section and then I think I'm finished with adding info to the page. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 22:25, July 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think you mean you hope that it does not have to be locked ;) The reason for locking it is to prevent degradation of the article's quality. Anyway, Jimeee will be going through the references and double checking them, and then we'll see about FA status. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 22:31, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes thats what I mean, haha
 * And cool, sounds good; I sure hope it gets featured article status Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 23:40, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, good job - but just so you know, checking the page this isn't a small job and I have several concerns about the article. I feel there is speculation in places and the tone could be more encyclopedic. The size of the article is very large - and while that itself isn't a bad thing - there are some parts that aren't relevant to the subject of the race itself. There are some images on there from other wikis - that can't happen. Most importantly - the lore absolutely must be fact checked - each and every statement must be checked against the reference. If I find statements that are unsourced, I'll need to add a cite tag. Getting a lore page to featured article status is a much harder task that a regular game page because of the amount of fact checking that must be done. I'm not an expert of the Dwemer by any means, so this will take time. Jimeee (talk) 10:08, August 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a lot, so good luck on it, but let me know if you need any help. Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 22:32, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

MOTM
Good job on getting MOTM. Earned it with that Dwemer page and the other lore articles, we really need alot of work with lore here. Hope to see you on the IRC sometime, Congratz ;D  10:36, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for the compliment; I appreciate it :)


 * I'm not exactly in the loop with everything here, so can you tell me what the IRC is? Thanks Chairmanprescott6179 (talk) 14:07, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Congrats from me too :) IRC is basically just chat. You can click on the image in near the top-right of the home page to get into the room. You can read more on IRC here. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:17, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
