Edits
Hi Darth Storm welcome to elder scrolls wiki. Thank you for your recent edits, please make sure to categorize the pages you make and to add the appropriate templates. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 12:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Copying Material
Please stop copying material from [www.uesp.net UESP]. It is all copyrighted material and may not be copied without crediting UESP - please see our Copyright and Ownership page. The Vanus Galerion and Hannibal Traven pages were copied almost verbatim so I have had no choice but to blank them. The Raminus Polus page is clearly paraphrased from our own but is probably different enough to avoid our copyright. rpeh 14:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Copying
Hi Darth Storm. In regards to Rpeh's above comments I must ask you stop copying material from UESP this includes images so your recent uploades must be deleted I'm afraid. Please contribute originl work in the future, cheers. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 14:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of how much credit is given I dont want uesp material on this wiki as it looks like were just making a carbon copy site when thats not the case. Again please only contribute canoncial work which you have written yourself. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 14:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Battles
Darth, I see you've begun writing battles as well as profiles. That's good, maybe we can work together. I've been writing the battles so far on the wiki, but my knowledge is tailored mostly to the games themselves. While I have some knowledge of Elder Scrolls lore, it is still pretty lacking, and I would have to do much research before I began writing battles outside the games. My plan was to go through the games, then begin with the historical wars and such, but it seems you've got that handled! So why don't we work together, you and I, and bring the wars of Tamriel to the wiki. You can reply on my talk page, and I look forward to working with you.-GR Groe 15:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know about the Main Page, you'll have to talk to Game Lord or KAJ about that. However, for your battles, remember to categorize them, for example: Tamriel/Battles/Battle of the Highlands. The idea is to build up the site like a tree, allowing for easier navigation. This way, you don't have to type in the name of a certain page every single time you want to visit it. Trust me, it helps when you're writing out wars. However, when you first write the page, always write it under the usual name (ex. Battle of the Highlands), then move it to the new categorical title. Otherwise, something like this happens.GR Groe 21:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, the moving thing isn't actually that necessary. When you move a page, the wiki software will automatically create a redirect. These are easy enough to do manually though, and I'm developing a bot which can do it for us later. I'm also thinking about a category, Category:Navigational Redirects, where all such redirects will go. I've also fixed the Battle of Bruma problem.
 * As for the main page, the quote can be changed by anyone, although I'm planning to simplify the Main Page's code a bit so it's easier. Featured articles can be requested here. If there's anything else you need, please ask. - Game LordTalk 09:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Couple of things
Hi Darth Storm. Firstly thank you for all your hard work, its greatly appreciated. Secondly when adding images to the infoboxes you dont have to thumbnail them, just thought you should know that. Thirdly in regards to the main page you can change the quote of the day if you like but you dont need to edit the main page, just replace the quote on Template:QOTD to whatever you desire. And as Game Lord has said we nominate featured articles, and hopefully we will have a new one soon. Finally and most importantly I would like to nominate you for membership on the Black Hand. The Black Hand is our featured article system were we vote for featured articles, discuss the improvement of articles and vote in new members. We are trying to get a council of five, and at the moment there are three of us. Myself and Gr Groe hold the title of Speaker and Gamelord who leads the Council is our Listener. You've clearly got the knowledge and the passion to see it through so if this does interest you just come by my talk page or if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 10:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Right your up for nomination. You need one more vote to obtain a majority, I will leave a message on Gr Groe and Game Lords talk pages asking them to vote for or against. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 10:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations
Well done you are now a Speaker of the Black Hand. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 14:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Infobox
No we dont, we will definately need one in the near future. Incidently would you mind giving me some feedback on the monaco skin. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 19:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

It's supposed to be transparnt but for soe reason its got a black box around it. I think we should have a contest to design a new logo. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 18:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Daedric alphabet headers
Hi Darth Storm. I had an idea that I wanted your opinion on. Well you know on the main page we have the brown header bars for things like the quote of the day featured articles ect. Well I thought why dont we put daedric translations next to each one, like this.
 * [[Image:QOTD.PNG]] - Quote Of The Day
 * [[Image:FA.PNG]] - Featured Article
 * [[Image:ITN.PNG]] - In The News
 * [[Image:DYK.PNG]] - Did You Know
 * [[Image:OESS.PNG]] - Other Elder Scrolls Sites

Each one translates accurately, I spent ages putting them together. So what do you think? They would have to made transparant so we could see the brown behind them but I'm sure a wiki helper would do it for us. - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 10:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that was my logic as well. it's just those little things that puts us above and beyond. Also speaking of the little things have you got your skin prefernce set to the defualt monaco? - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 12:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
