In-congruent Quest Names
Hi Ebony. I'm on holidays, so I will be very active. I noticed that the following pages have in-congruent quest names for the quest of accruing the items for Wylandriah. The pages, Wylandriah, and Hunt and Gather, give different names for the same quest. I'm unsure of what to do. Maybe further investigation is required?

Factions Addition
Hi Ebony. The page Factions does not have the Stormcloaks. Should they be mentioned? Thanks.

Yours Truly, Coza12 (talk) 12:31, September 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have now added Stormcloaks, The College of Winterhold, and The Greybeards. There are many more in Skyrim, but most are not worth mentioning like the Vigilants of Stendarr. Check it out; Factions.


 * Yours Truly, Coza12 (talk) 04:45, September 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also added Dawnguard and the Volkihar Clan. Should anymore be added?

Vandalism by Cookie Cutter
Ebony, the Death Incarnate page was vandalized by Cookie Cutter. It was mild, but still obviously vandalism (someone trying to sneak in small sophomoric changes in the hopes that no one would notice). Please take the appropriate action against this user.Cubears (talk) 12:44, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Replying to your Steam message
I'll just reply here since you are offline now and I can link to pages easier this way. :)

For the Count's Bodyguard page, I think it would be better to have them all listed on that page instead of creating individual articles from each city. Similar to the City Guard (Oblivion) page. The Fighters Guild Porter page kind of looks bad with the infoboxes in my opinion, because of the sections with hardly any information beside the infobox. If there really isn't much info to add about Fighter's Guild Porters, then maybe instead of using infoboxes, use a table and have the image as a thumbnail version inside the table, kind of like the way the images are displayed in Furnishings. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:19, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Re: Steward category - I think because we have the categories to let people know that an NPC is a follower or potential marriage candidate, that having one for potential steward makes sense. However, the steward option is only found in Hearthfire, so when the cateogiry is created it should note that it's only possible with the installation of Hearthfire. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:38, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, like "The following characters are potential steward candidates with the addition of the add-on for . — TombRaiser   SPEAK!  19:03, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yup, merge them all to Count's Bodyguard. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:42, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, that looks so much better! :D Might consider the same style for the Count's Bodyguard page too. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:15, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi EbonySkyrim, a quick question, can you combine / link  'A Wiki Contributor' profile to your login profile. Sometime's I forget to log in. If so can you go through the step's to do this. I'll check my talk page for a response. Thanks. Conan&#39;s Armpit (talk) 09:07, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank's for the info. I will do as you suggested, just wasn't sure about staying logged in. (Being a wiki noob and not so computer literate, wasn't sure if staying logged in would cause any issues for me and my computer)Conan&#39;s Armpit (talk) 15:52, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello again, enquring about my tendancy to put too much info into comments ( see 'No Lightning Mages' on the Skyrim Forums. ) I just wanted your advice regarding the comments I make. I don't want to put too many spoilers minor or major in them for new players, but I want to healp out. Also I'll be editing my game idea comments, to make them more concise. I will then post a blog trying to condense these game idea's into one area so If people are interested they can read my blog, not have to read read my idea's in the comments. Thank's for your time.Conan&#39;s Armpit (talk) 05:20, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Has Wikia done something to the Images page? When you search an image, it no longer lists the images that use it. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:28, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Map images
Oh okay, thanks for the critic, i would change it in the next article. And i change all the other morrowind location article map images. I really didn't know before how a map image should look, some pages had the interior image like i made it and so i had made it too, but now i know how too made, thanks. Mike alias the Checker (talk) 20:49, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

An other question: Should there be just an exterior map from every Location, or for bigger Location with larger maps a interior map, too? Mike alias the Checker (talk) 21:00, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

And a other problem is i can't make exterior map images of locations that can be translated, cause i have the german version. Mike alias the Checker (talk) 21:13, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Is it okay when i make it so: File:Abinabi-Map2.png ? Mike alias the Checker (talk) 22:08, October 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can just make exterior images from names that are the same in german, cause it is basicly the german version (and i don't now if can can change language or when how). But i could try to change the name in the construction set, this would be much work but i can try.
 * So my question is now you don't want interior images like it made i actually for NO page? or just not when the location is small?
 * Would this be okay: File:Abanabi-Map 3.png ? Mike alias the Checker (talk) 23:55, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, then i replace all map images that i made, and i don't add interior images anymore. Thank you for your feedback. Mike alias the Checker (talk) 18:36, October 4, 2013 (UTC)

Elder Scrolls Online Tab
Hi Ebony, on the Elder Scrolls Online Tab, when you click on the initial header, it brings you to the Skyrim Portal. This should be fixed, or have we not made an Online Portal yet?

Deleting Pages
Um... a very small thing, but when you delete redirects, can you make sure that there aren't any links to the pages? (If its a pointless redirect,such as Khajiiti (External link to wiki so as to not compound issue), can you edit the links to it so that they go to the redirect instead? Small thing, yes, but an important one, I think. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:58, October 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Khajiiti and Bosmeri had a link still. I think you just forgot with those ones. I normally only can get online pretty late these days, so my sleepy mind is making some mistakes - such as thinking that you often forget lol. Anyways - don't mind me. And yes, yes he can. Theres already ones for Users from Australia, Users from Norway, etc, so yeah, cant see why not. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:52, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Siege of the Imperial City (Lord of Souls)
I'm re-reading the Elder Scrolls novel "Lord of Souls", which concludes with a siege of the Imperial City by Vuhon's undead army. I was wondering, since we don't have an article of this siege and that we have pages for the characters of this novel, if I could write an article detailing this battle?

images question
Hello EbonySkyrim,

I add some fotos (most still to upload, but already edited and ready to go) to the quest The Dark Brotherhood Forever and I got two questions:

1. I've checked the image guidelines and read there are informations to add to a image like description, source, editor and licensing (I always use the dropdown menu for fair use/bethimage so that's not the question). It seems no one else does add these infos. Should I leave it, too?

2. Since there are already 2 of ten pictures, but with a very low resolution and also very dark, can I replace them too (to get a better and more unified look to the quest, my Images are highres...)?

Thanks, Fly (talk) 16:17, October 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've read your message, and also found a artilce about the 600x1000 px "policy". My Images are updated to 600x1000 and I'm uploading it asap.
 * 3. i've got one more question: the size for NPC-images is 600x1000, I see. The standard for all others (like landscape, items, etc.) 1600 × 1080 pixels?


 * btw: very long time since my very first image Drokt :D Thanks, Fly (talk) 16:43, October 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, I also have 1920 x 1080 (since half a year now) and Skyrim looks so much better with my new pc. It's just a joy to play it now.


 * Well, thanks for your help again. Just great... Fly (talk) 15:33, October 15, 2013 (UTC)

Speculation
Ebony, a question has come up on my talk page about whether speculation is allowable or not. I went searching through the style guild and other help pages, but could find nothing about it.

Minecraft: Skyrim Edition
Hi Ebony, a new expansion for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been announced. It features all new textures from Skyrim, 40 characters skins of characters from the game including both genders of the Dragonborn and M'aiq the Liar, over 20 tracks from Skyrim's OST, a pre-made world of Whiterun, Bleak Falls Barrow, and Riverwood, and a themed Skyrim UI.

A news post should be made about this. The article can be found here.

I know you mostly play PC, but I thought an admin should see this, and I saw you were on not long ago. — AutoBlood  Talk  14:21, November 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok. — AutoBlood  Talk  19:48, November 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I would actually Okay this as an article, actually. Whilst not Elder Scrolls per-se, it is easily Skyrim-related. In fact, it SHOULD be mentioned, as during the development of the game, there was that whole issue with the Scrolls copyright issue (Zenimax and Mojang). If you want too, you can link to that blog of mine from a long long time ago. I might mention that it was not Bethesda and Mojang that had issues though (there would be a valid reason to mention the Notched Pickaxe, for instance). All of those last ones were suggestions, and dont necessarily HAVE to be included, but they are what I would do :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:06, November 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I would have thought news post, to be honest. But... an article as well might work (Maybe). A page for Minecraft, for instance, could also have all of those things, and could be legitimately listed on our site, as long as it focusses mainly on the relation to the series. (Because, as we all know, Elder Scrolls is the centre of the universe :P) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 22:36, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to hear that, EbonySkyim - hope everything is ok. I guess I can make a news story about it. P.S - A minecraft page would not really work - The Notched Pickaxe reference is speculation at this point. Jimeee (talk) 14:08, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
