Greetings, nublet
Tis I! Cinna! I am currently in Modern History, should be learning about Russian politics and whatnot, but suddenly the internet is like "Cinnnnnnnaaaaa.... come play with me, baby." And now, here I am. On TES wiki. Editing, when I need to study for my exam, damn internet.

That has got to be the most random message I left. Well, you were wondering what user I was, I are Cpt. Carebear. :3 Cpt. Carebear (talk) 02:42, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

Gratz!
Hi Kirk, just stopping by to offer my congratulations on the greening of your moniker! Just in time for St. Patty's day, too! GramsJ (talk) 22:01, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Just Wondering
Could you Create the page Drugs and have it be a Redirect to Narcotics? Like... #REDIRECT Narcotics .. Think that's how it'd be written, not entirely sure though. 70.170.112.219 08:56, March 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Having a page labeled "Drugs" hardly seems useful at this junction. First, the page would be an Orphan, meaning no pages on he wiki link to it, proving the topic isn't notable enough to warrant its own article. I would even call into question the necessity of having a page labeled "Narcotics". These topics seem relatively insignificant when compared to other topics we cover. That's for the suggestion! But, if you're interested in helping us out, you me curious to comb through the stubs and see if you can help us expand one of them! Make sure you check out our policies and guidelines as well as our accepted standards for article layout. Thanks! :D -- 09:19, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I was completely unaware of the issues. And thanks for adding the templates in:) Thanks, bye.

Thanks, im glad to see i know how to do it know. and i wont take any picture replacement badly, im just trying to fix alot of the "image needed" problems.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:34, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
-Edit-

Thanks for fixing this. I remember now that I noticed suggest articles didn't show up until after the name change from "Test," when I created a test blog to see how things looked. I didn't realize I removed the User blog when renaming it. I thought it would stay in the same spot, lol.

 * When you mentioned the part about the User_Blog being important, I realized it anchored our blogs in the proper section, so to speak. Since Wikia pages are very different than a typical website, there are lots of things I don't understand at first glance. But now I know! I've done some website editing before, so I know the importance of some words in URLs, such as every page needing a page called "index" simply because it's required to start a site, period. You're not insulting. If I didn't know otherwise, I'd be grateful for the new info.

Spell tome attributes
Hi Halo, I apologize if removing those attributes offended you. I actually asked Deyvid about that when I first started working on the Skyrim: Spells articles. (see below)


 * Working on Spell Articles Edit
 * Hey Deyvid! I finally caught on to the changes you've been making to my edits, and, hopefully, I'm starting to incorporate them in my edits now. :D I have a question for you about how we want to handle tome information in the spell articles. In the ones I've edited so far, I've removed the specific "book" information (i.e., weight, value, ID) in favor of adding a subsection as in the following example:
 * AttributesEdit
 * See Spell Tome for a complete table of Spell Tomes, their descriptions, and their values.
 * LocationsEdit
 * Purchase from Phinis Gestor (College of Winterhold) [or whomever the appropriate merchants might be]
 * Then as I was continuing with another article today, I almost had second thoughts and was wondering if including the tome attributes might actually be beneficial here. Do we plan on eventually having a separate article for each tome besides the table containing all of them? Whether or not we do, could you let me know how you would like me to proceed? My original intent was to avoid repeating information that existed elsewhere.
 * GramsJ (talk) 00:22, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

His response follows:
 * Keep putting the information about the spell tomes as you have been.

I had no idea at the time who was responsible for adding the information, and I'm not sure that would have made a lot of difference at that time. Again I apologize. If we need to revisit this decision, perhaps you, Deyvid and I can talk about it GramsJ (talk) 04:16, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

i had an idea for the no stone unturned... i don't know if it can be done but what about boxes to check so we can mark off what stone we got instead of guessing or going to each spot? was just a thought. me and my game addictions lol.

i am calling the company tomarrow and talking to them about this game. I will tell them that these glitches need fixed and if they want to know what ones i will be refering them to this site. I refer all my friends to this site for skyrim because it is way better (and more detailed thanks to people like us) then gamefaqs. at least here we can edit most stuff ourselves. oh on the no stone unturned there is no way back into thamor embassy (just a fyi) i wasn't sure if it was just me so i did not put that in the section for it.

Uploads
Thanks, Kirk. Just making sure I'm "playing by the rules." GramsJ (talk) 17:57, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Images
Is there an other way i can upload pics besides UESP and screenshot's? i understand the issue with using there pics, and that is why i have been trying to do it by the rules so we wouldn't have any trouble. But i play all my games on the 360 so if i took any pics from there they would look like crap.

I will try to do everything i can to find pictures and images of what i need before going to UESP, i dont want to cause unneeded troubles and stress.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:10, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Me again, i had an idea that would let me put a few Pictures up and i want to run it by you to make sure its ok. I have a friend who will can let me use a picture of the map of Cyrodiil to help with the pages for the roads. if i can get his permission to upload it, can i use it, or is this still pushing it?

Double article
I just found out i made a page for an article for a page that already existed, the reason this happened is that i spelt it on the page i was working on without the capital L in letter so i was told the page didn't exist. Is there a way to remove the extra article? Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:03, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

72.198.103.229 06:29, May 12, 2012 (UTC)hello i was just curious if wikia brings in money. Does the site support the staff and where do you get the information on the site ?


 * Wikia brings in money through advertisements, but this wiki, TESWiki (just a single wiki on the wikia network), doesn't get any cut of that. Administrators don't get paid to do what we do, we just do it because we like being helpful.  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 11:10, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Requesting permission to add videos on wikis
Hi HaLo2FrEeEk,

I would like to know if I could have permission to add links to my YouTube videos to wiki pages. I find that video walkthroughs are very useful, easy to understand and offer great visual support. If used correctly (in a non-spammy manner, obviously), having videos around can greatly enrich this site's content. Sometimes, reading a a walkthrough isn't enough, and the user could prefer to watch a quick video instead!

I constantly upload Skyrim videos to my channel, at http://youtube.com/smikesmike05, these videos range from walkthroughs to lore, among other things.

Hope to hear from you soon :)

Best Regards!

Smike05 (talk) 03:53, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Videos
Thank you for replying to my post, I read the Wiki Policies and I understand why you do not allow links.

However, I think lore videos would be a great addition to the wiki. They do not violate Bethesda Softworks'copyright claims on this media. No gameplay is used, only my voice as well as fan-made images.

Here's a couple of lore videos I made:

Small Articles
Hello. For the little time I've been here, I've noticed a couple of really small articles, like Impish, Aquatic Adaptation, Blunt (Morrowind), Strike, Direnni Clan, etc. I've even noticed a couple of articles that are nothing but the stub template, like Jade Amulet and Morgiah's Letter. Before I start marking all of them for deletion, as I did with the last two I listed, I wanted to ask you if these articles should actually be kept or not. In my opinion, it would probably be better to delete them, considering they really don't give much information, and they will get more attention if they don't have an article rather than if they're marked with the stub template. Reversinator (talk) 20:51, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Like I said, the articles are very lacking in information. Deleting them is not going to deprive readers of any information. If you're concerned about broken links (red, broken, same thing), I don't see why. On a wiki I'm at, the Super Mario Wiki, broken links are recommended to be kept instead of making filler articles. The general idea is that the broken links are going to attract more attention that a stub template, thus enticing more people into creating and expanding it. Really, what's worse: Having some red text in articles, or having ugly, short articles? Reversinator (talk) 21:03, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Also, on an unrelated note, is there an image quality template? You know, a template placed on images that labels them as having low quality? Reversinator (talk) 21:44, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Image needed with explanation
Dear Halo2FrEeEk,

I have a question i wanted to ask. I found a problem to which you may have the answer (or not :P). If a page is without a image, it is automaticly added to the Category:Skyrim: Image Needed cat. We also have the template. I'll explain by problem with an example:

I saw that for the page Endrast's Journal, we don't have an image of the outside, only of the inside. No one, if not explicitly searched for, will see this one page between all other pages that misses one out of three images. If i put this page in the category i named above, the next person will just remove it from the category because it already has images. So then i thought, why not use a template. People will notice that and it won't get removed from the category because i can explain why i added the template. But the above template doesn't allow the user to give an explanation. And if i only put that template on the page, people will also delete that with the same thought that the page already has two images. So now i'm at a stalemate, what to do? Could you please help me? Kennyannydenny (talk) 21:18, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I want to give a reason so that people don't quickly delete the template because they don't know why it's there. I didn't want to change the template without the permission of an administrator. If you could change it for me, like you explained on my talk page, you would make me very happy :) Thanks in forward.
