Linking Facebook page
Yo, theres a user that linked a facebook group in a comment on my newest blog. That isn't allowed if i remember correct. So maybe the comment should get deleted or somthing. 22:25, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

UESP
Oh, sorry about that, I was looking for images for the page, and stumbled on their article, noticed that bit of trivia and thought it would be okay to add it in. Sorry about that, wont happen again. And I dont think you guys are stupid, not at all. I just did not know it was a bad thing to do. Introduce a bit of Anarchy (talk) 16:16, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

HearthFire Bug issue
New to this whole wiki thing. I personally just encountered a possible bug. Talked it over with a few friends and we think we may have come up with the cause.

The problem is, I built all 3 hearthfire homes, after a few hours of play I started experiencing low res, and lag, and ultimately freezing when entering/leaving my homes. Upon further testing I found this only happend when I built every Item for each house. I got my friend to do the same, after a couple days his game started doing the same. It didnt happen as quickly as my game did.

So we begin testing building the houses and only built certain items, this has not caused any of the mentioned bugs yet.

We believe this may be the effect of "overloading" the housing cells. We like to think that bethesda would not have it set up without a failsafe to prevent this. Well atleast several checks to assure this would not happen, altho this is bethesda and as amazing as their games are...they tend to be very buggy. I do not expect you to list this as a confirmed bug based off of this message, but my friend and I confirmed this happening after building all 3 homes with all possible furnishings.

I have seen a few posts on a popular site GameFaqs.com that list this problem as well, Alot of people come to the wiki in search of answers to their problems, perhaps an "unconfirmed" bug post listing our finding to how to fix this could be added to the bugs?

Journal Disambiguation
Hi Jimeee,

Currently there is one article related to the Skyrim book called "Journal". There are three instances of a book called "Journal", each is unique.

One journal is from the owner of Meeko, found in Meeko's shack (ID 000DC198). The second is a female's journal found at a pond (unmarked) near the Shrine of Peryite (ID 00077536). The third is what is shown on the current article called Journal about Frostbite Spiders experimentation (ID 0008E5DF).

I assume I should create individual pages for each Journal and the current page will have to be renamed. No article currently exists for Meeko's owners journal or the unnamed woman's journal as far as I've been able to find.

If there would be another more preferable way to do it then let me know.

Thanks Zimakaru (talk) 18:57, September 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have renamed Journal_(Harmugstahl), and created Journal_(Meeko's_Shack) and Journal_(Reach_Pond). They should be ready for disambiguation.

Journal covers
Yeah, most journals share the same generic covering.

I believe there are 3 variants to generic journal covers. A dark red, light red and brown. There are various unique ones that share book covers.

But it would be possible to upload a catchall image for each cover type. The problem I see if this is done is that anyone else uploading journal images for articles without existing images. They may not be aware of the existance of the stock image and upload their own anyway.

I wouldn't be opposed to it if you wanted to try though.

Zimakaru (talk) 20:18, September 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * After giving it some thought I think it might be better to actually just omit Journal covers altogether. After doing some checking I noticed occasionally that Journals that use the generic covers will occasionally use different covers and colors for different copies of the same text. It might be better to just post the content within as the image(s) for the Journal.


 * Perhaps a general article on Journals would be a better route.


 * Let me know what you think.


 * Zimakaru (talk) 23:08, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Journal covers
Saw your talk with above person, I have already uploaded covers for 3 journals. Maybe I should rename them as I was confused when I did it. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/File:DarkRedJournalCover.png http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/File:DarkBeigeJournalCover.png http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/File:JournalCoverRed.png

1 x vs one
Greetings,

We were just following this Wiki's standard of not using digits on pages (see Style and Formatting). Perhaps you should edit that.....

We never said the Sigil Stone was consumed, in fact, the page implied it would be before we put in the clarification that it wouldn't be.DarthOrc (talk) 15:37, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Unmarked locations
Are the Unmarked Locations (Skyrim) supposed to just use The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Guide description under the description heading? I've noticed a few that do. 10:20, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Tip
Thanks for pointing it out, first I thought that it was good to link when it was possible. Second, as I'm not from an englishspeaking country, english is my second language (eventhough I have spoken it for over 35 years), not the first, I sometimes think it looks good when I'm reading it. I'll look over that page again...

EbonySkyrim (talk) 15:47, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

I have given it a go again, can you have a look at it? I haven't really done so many of these before as I have been a bit: not scared of doing the wrong thing, only not giving any time to really read through. But I have seen many recaps that have so long paragraphs it's hard to read them. Anyway.. I have given it a try.

EbonySkyrim (talk) 16:29, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

IRC
Hey Jimeee,

Sorry, I wasn't around last night. I was involved in other things. I had left right after I posted here about the Journals.

Currently I'm pretty busy; so not around a whole lot. I may be able to drop into the IRC sometime if there is something important to discuss.

Me again asking
As I did the quest Forgetting about Fjola the other day I thought I would try and rewrite the page as it wasn't written properly. Well, now I have done it and I would like you or any admin if you are not here, to have a look at it to see if it's ok, if not well... tell me so I can do it again. I still haven't removed the tone template and I can't remember what skill book already mentioned before I rewrote it, it was on the table in the toproom of the east tower in Mistwatch. I have to have another look unless someone else knows..

Daedric Armor (Skyrim)
In the Crafting section of Daedric Armor (Skyrim) where it says:

"Pieces can be upgraded with an Ebony Ingot at a grindstone and also benefit from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement."

It should say workbench instead of grindstone. 06:35, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Bugs in the hearthfire dlc
I have noticed some more bugs with the Hearthfire Dlc and i would like to make you aware of them im a new user here so theres not a lot i can do on this website i allready made the list but someone said i may have put it in the wrong place so i thought id give it to you. Me and about a few other friends have noticed these bugs so they are farily common they are as follows (Xbox 360). If i can be of anymore help please get in contact with on here or at jajdi@hotmail.co.uk
 * The weapon plaque on the second floor bedroom in the main hall does not like storing a crossbow on it, it will mount itself and then somtimes when you come back into your house it will be on the floor.
 * The house will respawn all items that originally were placed on top of shelves, tables etc. periodically that came with the item of  furniture you built. This can be an issue if you have started to put your own stuff out on display.
 * The artificial intelligence system for the house is bugged I will sometimes find my wife and even the children standing on chairs, one time the dog walked across the dining room table.
 * You cannot fire your bard you can do the option to fire but he/she will stand there and keep playing music.
 * The artificial intelligence system for the steward seems a bit clunky apart from standing in one place for long periods of time in the house they don’t do much in the way with interacting with the environment.
 * The lighting of the wall scones sometimes doesn’t even brighten up the rooms properly.
 * When traveling to your house via road it sometimes takes a while for the house to render fully.

Homestead Suggestion

I saw that you are re-working the Homestead page. The charts of materials are very helpful. I would love to see a column for or simply a total number of iron ingots needed for building since you can make the nails, hinges, etc. right there as long as you have the iron.

Thanks,

Image requested
Hey Jimee,

Yeah the barrow does look very much like most other barrows. It might be most helpful to players to actually include an aerial shot of the entire Labyrinthian, similiar to the one on its' article. I was thinking maybe a satellite type of view, i.e. looking directly down onto the area. Labyrinthian has several locations that link directly off the main....let's call it a courtyard.

I think this would be beneficial to go on the pages for all the barrows and other locations that are at or near the Labyrinthian map marker. These include Bromjunaar, the ceremonial door, Shalidor's maze, and Lost Valkygg.

Quiz
Hi Jimee!

I hope I am not bothering you. I just wanted to know if making an Elder Scrolls Quiz blog would violate any of the rules or policies. I love quiz blogs, and I have not seen any around so I am hoping to get one started where I will post random lore or general knowledge questions about the Elder Scrolls, and then people will accumulate points. There is no prize, it is just some competitive fun. I know on several wikis this sort of thing is not appreciated, or may only be conducted by admins. If there is already such a thing in existance, could you direct me to it?

Thanks!

~Jack Pistol

I also found a few mistakes (mostly punctuation) on the Hold Guard (Skyrim) page, but it is locked so I cannot fix them. You or another administrator could fix them or it could be temporarily unlocked for me to fix, if you are too busy.

Hey, Jimeee

Why did you delete the videos? They are within wikia guidelines. I used Wikia interface to add the videos!

Just click on the Video icon when you edit. Please do not remove the videos when it is within policy!

Try it yourself, click on the "Video" link and add in a video from youtube URL. It is supported on Wikia, and I don't understand why you removed it against policy.

Books (Skyrim)
Hey Jimeee

I understand my editing if not perfect, but may i ask why you are simply rewriting parts of my edits and not telling me. it would save us both some time if you told me what i was doing wrong instead of following behind me.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 22:49, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Im not mad or offended that your fixing my errors, if i got mad every time my edit got edited i would be pissed all the time, i'm just used to people telling each other how to improve their edits.

I didn't know that copying and pasting while in visual mode left the long link, i almost never editing in visual mode because of my crap spelling and the books article wouldnt let me use source. Now that i know it dose that ill fix that.

Im sorry if i came off as an ass, just please let me know if there is a way i can improve my work so you dont need to worry about following me.

Thanks and happy editing.

Hearthfire
Thanks,

Picked up Hearthfire yesterday, only a few more items to get through. If theres anything else Hearthfire related you need I'd be happy to do my best to help.

As for fast; multiple upload is a wonderous thing, such a shame you have to know what you're looking for to access it. Might be a nifty link to add to the "Contribute" menu.

White-Gold tower
The problem with the tower is the way the cells are handled. In order to get the highest quality textures you have to be in the cell with the tower, which happens to be quite small (only the area inside the walls).

In order to effectively achieve high quality textures and an expansive view of the city you would absolutely need to do a composite image. It would likely be at least 6-10 cells you would need to go to individually (because of the way the city cells are handled) depending on angle and altitude. While not a huge problem in creating the composite image, the challenge lies with getting to the exact same vantage point and altitude while each cell is loaded.

This means you would need to get to the exact same altitude and viewing angle across half a dozen images to really capture the shot.

I did a similar thing with the image of Solitude, as you can see the outer swamp has grass, trees, ships in the harbor and so on. But that was only two images, and I had a specific point of reference I could go to. For the White-Gold tower it is the only large object around at all, there is no way to effectively judge your positioning.

When you are in a city cell in Oblivion, no other surronding cells are loaded only the very VERY basic land shapes and a few structures in low quality that should be visible e.g. the White Gold tower from far away. However this would not be something you would want as a representation of the White Gold tower.

The only other option I see would be to create a verticle panoramic of the tower, which may also prove to be quite difficult.

Sorry, that ended up being quite a long post.

Zimakaru (talk) 16:08, October 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can try whatever shot you'd like. You could also ask around to see if anyone else has any ideas. It's been a while since I've played Oblivion and I never exactly spent my time picking out the most scenic viewing angles of the tower.


 * But if you'd like me to try a shot from Weye I'd be happy to.


 * Zimakaru (talk) 16:55, October 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey Jimeee,
 * I don't know if you've given it any more thought but, if you have any ideas locations you want to see for the White-Gold tower I'd be happy to try them out. Today would be an excellent time for me to work on that little project.

Suggestion for the Hearthfire page
Hello Jimeee,

I noticed you are developing the page for the new Hearthfire DLC and thought I would make a couple of suggestions that might be helpful to some readers.

The first is regarding use of the terms for floors of a building. As you might already know, there is a distinction between US and non-US varieties of English regarding the numbering of floors, and this also seems to vary from country to country within Europe. Given that I can imagine this wiki has international readership, it might be worth putting a note on the Hearthfire page just to define which numbering system you're going to use in the article, just so that it's clear from the start.

The second is to mention, perhaps at the end of the article and/or maybe in the introduction, whether or not the changes that the player can make to their houses are reversible or editable once they have been built. I tend to read articles about DLC before I begin to play them, so such information would provide readers with a little foreknowledge about how careful they should be (or not) when designing and building their houses.

Kind regards,

86.174.208.244 14:47, October 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * PS. I've also noticed a possible bug with display cases, especially those on cupboards or other interactable containers. Because objects sometimes fall out of display cases when their room is being loaded, I've found that such objects can get stuck physically inside the drawers of the container they're standing on (not in their inventories but actually wedged in them), meaning they can't be re-obtained by pointing the cursor on them and clicking -- doing this would activate the container instead. I've done this with Dragon Priest masks; the first couple of times, they fell through the cupboard and I could easily pick them up off the floor, but if they get stuck actually inside the cupboard itself, the only way to solve it (as far as I know) is to load a save game from before the object was placed in there.

Furnishings
I'll take care of making the complete list on Furnishings, if you don't mind off course. 15:07, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, i added every furnish item i can so far. Accidently killed my cow in the process >.< I've devided the page into several sections which are also used in the menu ingame. The only one i doubt about is "exterior". These items can only be placed on the outside, such with the Armory. Don't know what to do with them, almost all other "exterior" items were placed under the other headlines in other parts of the house, so i placed them there.


 * Important: I've done the entry and every part of the main hall. Also done the cellar and the shrines. The expensions which i couldn't do (because i already furnished it completely and then they will be invisible at the workbench) are: Enchanter's Tower, Kitchen, Greenhouse and Trophy Room. Every other expension has already been checked by me and added into the list. Please give me feedback and i hope you can help with the remaining expensions. 17:55, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll remove the construction template and change the attention template so that people know what has to be done. 15:36, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Dungeon Delving
Jimeee i have a matter i wish to discuss with you. Right now, Dungeon Delving links to a page about finding Hrolfdir's Shield. But dungeon delving is a radiant quest. Some items which have to be recovered for certain npcs have seperate quest articles. Like Shavee's Amulet. They aren't seperate quests, but do we want to keep it the way it is now or does this need to get fixed? Whats your opinion? 17:21, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for asking,I was trying to obtain the house Hjerim. Went through the civil war quest to get to the offer point.The Jarl's helper tells me it is available for 12,000 BUT he tells me there was a problem and has not been cleaned up. I assume this is from the "Blood on the Ice" quest, which I tried to get started ages ago but to no avail.I have read the bugs and see that the Dark Brotherhood questline which I completed could get in the way of the Blood on the Ice.Any help would be appreciated not sure why I want the place cause Windhelm is cold damp and snowy.tHanX Laslo451 (talk) 19:21, October 19, 2012 (UTC) Laslo451
