User talk:DarthOrc

Welcome
Hiya DarthOrc! I am not the official welcoming committee but I saw you do some clean up to the Smithing page and wanted to say HI and Thanks! I was looking at that page myself today and it is in dire need of an overhaul. So if you have the inclination, I would like to encourage you to keep fixing it! We have several good admin on here and a fairly active user base right now. If you have any questions about editing pages please ask. You can leave a message on any of the admins pages or ask me as well. Some of the friendly folks here are: User:Timeoin, User:Jimeee, User:Kacj321, User:Deyvid Petteys. There are more. Again, Thanks for helping. --DLanyon (talk) 11:45, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Advice
Hey there you two. I would give helpful hints but not for example say "We did this, so therefore it is the best way". Just pointers would be best. Commander Faol (talk) 11:47, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Badge?
Hi there guys, did you mean the badge?

If you did, I'll talk to Tim tonight about getting it fixed. Commander Faol (talk) 18:58, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry
I'm really, really sorry. Unfortunately due to the bad timeing of the SOPA strike, we'll be unable to give you the badge. There is nothing the admins here can do. It's just really, god-awful bad luck. Again, sorry. Commander Faol (talk) 23:58, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Random
Just thought I'd pop in and say 'hi', lol. I think it's pretty damned cool that you guys play games as a father/son team, I did the same with my mom for a long time until her eyesight got so bad she couldn't see the TV. (Now we play D&D. XD) In any case, it's good to see things like that around here.

Also, do you mind if I add you on Xbox LIVE? The Cyan Dragon (talk) 14:12, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Edit auto-flagged as vandalism
Hey there. I saw the message that you left on Timeoin's talk page. He may not be able to reply right away as he doesn't have stable internet at the moment, so to answer you question as to why the filter set off the "false positive" is because there was a youtube link that already existed from a previous edit. So, since you edited entire page, the filter saw the link, and rejected your edit. I've corrected the matter now, so you should be able to make your edits to the Horse (Skyrim) page with no more problems. Thanks for your contributions! 21:24, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Sanguine's idle chatter lines
I believe it's part of the dialogue for the "drunk" characters. If you noticed the drunks that hang out in taverns all have the same voice and tend to say the same things that Sanguine will be heard saying. So, it's just a generic idle chatter line they say when you pass nearby them. 01:37, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Falmer Armor
Hey DarthOrch.

Thanks for catching that, you are right about what base stats are, i must have overlooked my skill tree and didn't take into account that it will add to base defense.

If you could please reverse my error that would be great.

Again, thanks for catching my mistake. Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:01, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I guess everything is ok now?

RE:Questions
Glad to hear you're trying to become a better editor. Truth is: I edited, only because I needed the code for the template, which I added to. When I had the edit window open, I changed the first few errors that I saw, and missed a few others. Let me try to explain my methods in an orderly fashion:


 * 1) Third person should always be used in articles. Indirect language is best. "The item is here" rather than "The Dragonborn must look here for the item." We take the focus of the sentence off the "who" and onto the "what". It's more encyclopedic that way.
 * 2) I skimmed through the article and only changed the most glaring errors I found, meaning I was not looking to do an in-depth, perfect page renovation. With an article so large, it would surely take hours before I was content. Think of the edits I made on to be "pit-stop" edits; "while I was there, I changed this and this" but not everything. That's okay. Do what you can :). I didn't want to get too distracted from my other project which was Redguard.
 * 3) Remove pointless redlinks wherever you see them. File links that are red should probably be omitted on sight, unless you know of a replacement that could be substituted right away. But, it is a bad habit to think that redlinks are "bad" or "mistakes". Definitely not. Redlinks are opportunities to create new articles. Sometimes, they prompt others who may know more about the topic (or who have more ambition) to take up the project. It let's casual readers and other editors know that we need and want a page on that topic.

I hope this makes sense. :D -- 04:05, July 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, friend. I unlocked, so you can fix it up at any time. If you're feeling ambitious, I know some of the other game articles need some renovation. Edit them maybe? Just kidding. You're not obligated to do anything. :P -- 12:16, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
