Re: Stros M'kai Characters
Thanks, and welcome back :). 23:17, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Impersonator
Tomb,

You'll never believe this. Someone's actively impersonating me.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:~Le_bon_oiseau_de_neige~_(789Snowbird987)

Could you run an IP check or something? I'd bet anything it's Jygg going at it again. I'd be glad to provide any evidence I can.

 * I have blocked the account. I don't have Check User rights, so I can't check IP addresses, and Wikia will only do IP checks if it is warranted. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:52, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Custodian
Hey Tomb, I uploaded an ESO image earlier, I spelled it wrong on accident, I was going to rename it correctly, but it won't let me. I checked my user rights, & I never received the custodian user right. Was this intentional, or is it a problem with wikia? Thanks Ghost Anubis (talk) 02:27, March 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, I forgot to add custodian rights when I promoted you. You should be able to rename images now. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  02:35, March 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's okay no worries thanks Tomb :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 02:49, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Stuff and things
Hello Tombs, I wanted to speak to you about a few things:
 * 1) Can you explain how the "patrolled page" feature works and what is it for? I realize this is something I probably should have asked about earlier, but it only came to mind recently, while checking the new pages. Do I automatically add the patrolled status to the page when I edit?
 * 2) Could you make an Online sub-infobox for the Book template? A few articles about the same book in different games have appeared. I tried the usual copy/paste like with other templates, but it seems this one requires a template within a template.
 * 3) How are we going to divide the location categories for Online? Right now, there are several articles with categories detailing their province, region and city. Example: Some articles are categorized like this: Online: Daggerfall Characters, Online: Glenumbra Characters, Online: High Rock Characters. I think it would be best if we list only the city; if the character or location isn't in a city, the region is listed. The province category could be disused, or used only for non-stationary characters (although Online: Cyrodiil Locations/Characters could stil be used due to its lack of regions). What do you think?

I apologize if this is a little overwhelming; I just thought in those in the same time. Thanks. 07:00, March 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks a lot. I'll ask Flightmare and give that page a read. Will you make the consensus? 23:38, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Consensus reached
Hey Tomb, this consensus has been around for over a week today and seems to have support, I was wondering if we could possibly discuss how we're going to pull it off, since there are somethings that need to be figured out. Thanks. :) Zippertrain85 (talk) 15:58, March 16, 2014 (UTC)

Know Your Meme Quiz
Heya, TombRaiser!

Wanted to pop in and let you know that the quiz is now live! Feel free to promote it however you like ;) Also, if people aren't seeing it, it's due to ad blocking software. Raylan13 ( talk ) 17:06, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * There's only 5 questions, so I'll post it in the Community Announcement forum with a highlight. It would have been nice if there were more questions, but it's a start. :) —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:50, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks ;) I will definitely pass that feedback along to those in charge of these features. Raylan13 ( talk ) 21:02, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

Books by Copyright Status?
Hey Tomb, I noticed that both 'Books Copyrighted by Bethesda' and 'Books Copyrighted by Zenimax' fell under the 'Images by Copyright Status' parent category. Is this right? Or should there be a category called 'Books by Copyright Status'? 22:30, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't even notice that. I just copied it the way it was categorized for Bethesda. But, you're right, it should probably be categorized as Books by Copyright Status instead of Images. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:43, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Templates
Sorry. :( I saw Sky doing that, so I added it only to the regions in Beta. It won't happen again. 10:14, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

Articles
Hey Tomb, I have noticed there are a bunch of articles, with strategies for defeating enemies, things of that sort. I have a question though, should that I even be on them? My example of this is, Mount Anthor. I always thought they shouldn't even be on the pages. I didn't want to remove them however, with consulting an admin first. Otherwise I'd probably get in trouble lol. Thanks. Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 05:27, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks Tomb. I thought so :). How exactly do I move it to the talk page? I never done that before. Should I just copy & paste it there? Then remove it from the page? & thanks I will note in my summary in the future. Thank you it took a while to make :P Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 05:52, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I did it, does it look alright to you? & thank you for your help I didn't even know the {rednote|moved from article}} template existed :P. I will do this in the future if I see more pages like this. On a side note, do you mind if I request you on Steam? Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 06:10, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks I do what I can ;). Well I mainly see them on character pages, or creature pages. I should have removed the first person & second person viewpoint on that Mount Anthor page. I didn't notice it until after I already published, (I don't like editing the same article a bunch) but hey I'm glad to bring it to your attention. I sent you the request. :) Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 06:30, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Emoticon
Okay, I have an idea for a new emoticon! It is...

(tumbleweed)

It might seem random, but chat is getting pretty slow these days, and I thought it would be nice rather than just have (tumbleweed) with no effect at all. 03:10, March 25, 2014 (UTC)

Those images
Hi, those two images we talked about, I uploaded a new version on one and it didn't help. It says there is no information and one should contact Wikia. Either that or I just upload them again removing the last two letters they have.. what do you think? 08:39, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I did manage to delete those images, thank god. But at first the new files with the correct name was hard to upload as it kept saying there was a file already with the same name. And it refused to upload even when I said to ignore. But in the end it did go well.. 07:33, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

Essentials and Quiz
Hi again, TombRaiser!

We're planning a couple of things with the upcoming release of ESO. The first of these is what we call "Instant Expert". The gist is that we reach out to admins asking their expert opinions and thoughts on an upcoming or existing game - so in this case, questions pertaining to Elder Scrolls Online. We're in the process of cobbling together a reasonably short list of questions we'd like to ask and were wondering if you'd like to be one of those that provides answers. Let me know, and I'll email you the list to your email associated with your account ;) Feel free to answer any or all of them - we're aiming for getting the answers by the end of the month.

On the other note: we're also wanting to do a fun quiz that will help promote the game and this community. The title is self-explanatory: What Elder Scrolls Online Class Are You? We'd like to put this in an article page rather than a blog page, if you're okay with that, with the plan that it'll go live at the beginning of next month. We're shooting for about ten questions or so, and any input is welcome, of course ;)

Also, because I haven't left you with enough out think about... We're partnering with Bethesda to give away several one-year subscriptions to folks. We're thinking of this as the working title, but wanted to see if you had any input on it: "Elder Scrolls Online Video Sweepstakes (US/UK)". Keep in mind we're still working on the particulars, though, so the locations may be subject to change.

Let me know what you think!

Raylan13 ( talk ) 19:30, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Great to hear ;) Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions (sending them now). As for the video, it's my understanding it is a trailer supplied to us by the developers. I'm awaiting a link so I can view it myself. Raylan13 ( talk ) 21:33, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

User posting a link to a nude pic
Hey Tomb, I just wanted to inform you that the User http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Stormblind posted a link leading to a pic of a naked woman (I guess it's Serana from Skyrim with a Nude Mod installed) in this thread: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:317659. The thing is that he did that ''twice. ''I already warned him the first time. I think it's now time for a block. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 13:00, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Problem
Hey Tomb. I have a problem. So, the situation is basicly that yesterday FaustisBoss accused Mihranzakaryan of being an alt account from UNIKITTY!. Mih eventually left, and then UNIKITTY! joined. The thing is that UNIKITTY! mysteriously knew about FaustisBoss accusing Mih of being an alt account of her (even though nobody mentioned it when she joined), so I banned her for a week because of sockpuppeting. Now, I'm not so sure anymore. Should I ban Mih permanently from the chat, or should I unban UNIKITTY! because I don't have enough evidence? AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 17:59, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Casts Chat Summon?
Still no Steam :D Jimeee (talk) 22:49, March 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Got a second on chat? Jimeee (talk) 17:54, April 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Tried to go in, but the wiki is loading slowly. I'll try again in a few minutes. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:03, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

Resignation
Hey TombRaiser, I have tried catching you on Steam, without much luck, so I'm just going to do this here. My patroller rights should be removed, as I'm not going to be active around the wiki anymore. & I don't think I should keep them anymore. Thanks.

 * Well, okay. It's your choice and I understand, so I'll honor your request. You could have still kept me on Steam though, it is possible to send offline chat messages there. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:03, April 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, yeah this was my decision. I'm sure you already know the reasons for this, so I don't think I need to explain. I took care of most of the other stuff, but I did realize, that this Forum:Serana Second Follower Glitch still exists. I created that a long time ago, as my IP address I think I told you about this. Being you archived it, I read your summary, you can either move that to my blog if you want, or you can delete that page also it's up to you. Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 20:34, April 2, 2014 (UTC)]


 * Yes, no need to explain. About the page you created a while ago under your IP, I'll just delete it. The edit summary was just encase you wanted to copy/paste that content and recreate it as a blog, before that page was deleted. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:41, April 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay cool thanks Tomb, good luck with all the ESO stuff, sorry to see the guild name was taken. Ȼǿᵰᵮẽᵲ ₲ħǿśᵵ Ⱥᵰᵾᵬĭᵴ  Đẽẽᵭᵴ 20:43, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Beginner's Guide
Hi, TombRaiser!

I was wondering if you guys were thinking about adding a "Getting Started" or "Beginner's Guide" to the site for people brand new to the game? Titanfall has something similar that might be nice to have here. We'd love to spotlight something like that if you're interested; we could perhaps help as well with just the basics - though you guys are the experts ;) Let me know either way!

Best regards,

Raylan13 ( talk ) 20:49, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Renaming page
Hey Tombs, could you help me out with renaming this page back to "Hide Shield"? It keeps saying I can't rename it because the title already exists, but the other page is a redirect. 04:50, April 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done! —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:59, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 05:49, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

Online Maintenance?
Are you able to play right now Online? Mine says the server is closed for maintenance to get ready for the release but ? its been kind of irritating to me that there's been like 3 times they've been down for maintenance on the early access. I understand that they need to fix the bugs but what was the point of getting early access if I can't play it. Sorry for the rant, didn't mean to, was just wondering if the same thing was happening to you. Assassin&#39;sArt (talk) 20:57, April 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that was actually helpful, I hadn't really looked around much on the official website. Assassin&#39;sArt (talk) 21:09, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism detector acting glitchy
Hello, I was trying to change a link in this page, but the vandalism filter keeps saying I vandalized the page. I was trying to change the link for CHIM under Content to lead to the actual page instead of Chimer. This is possibly happening because the sentence in which CHIM is contains the word "r4pe" (edited because it wouldn't let me post this message :p). Could you help me out and change it please? Thanks. 177.49.124.56 03:13, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Done! 05:44, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Resignation
Hey tombrasier I came by to say I want my chat mod rights removed. Since I rarely even get on the chat anymore in other words, I'm not as active as I used to be and I don't think I use or perform my chat powers well enough. Get back to me when you can thanks Crazy131 (talk) 17:44, April 4, 2014 (UTC).

Essentials/Beginner's Guide
Hi, TombRaiser ;)

Wanted to first see if you had any thoughts about the Beginner's Guide I asked about previously.

Also, the Essentials blog is complete, and we were wondering a few things. 1) We have an image for the main page slider; would you be willing to put it in there? 2) Could we put a link to it on the ESO portal for the month of April? 3) We also have a couple of very specific videos (like PvP) we'd like to place on those pages they directly pertain to.

Note that the videos included in the blog and those for the pages are part of the Community Q&A we had with Bethesda. There were some terrific questions in there from you guys, as well as some great feedback for the Essentials. Raylan13 ( talk ) 17:44, April 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'll pass along your approval to the powers that be. Chances are things will happen on Monday ;) Raylan13 ( talk ) 16:33, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Removal of NewMMO
Hey Tomb, pretty much all of the Online articles now have a gap at the top of the page where 'NewMMO' used to be. I'm guessing this is happening because when DwemerBot removes the 'NewMMO' template it does not fill the gap it has left behind. That may not be the reason, but I feel it may be. Do you know of any way to tackle this, without extensive manual labour :P. 18:04, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * No, its not a big problem at all. It just leaves a gap at the top of the page, which looks a bit odd. I guess all of them will have to be removed manually as people edit the pages. Nevermind, thanks anyway. Flugsmith (talk) 11:14, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Chat Talk
Hi Tomb, I was told that a few users on the chat mentioned sexual related things, which as of what I know, isn't breaking the rules, but non-stop talk of it is. I have talked to one of the users about it and they say it wasn't continual and that they will refrain from it. If you're available, I'll say more in the chat PM.

Thanks. — AutoBlood  Talk  23:57, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

ESO Timer
Hi Tomb, can you remove the timer on the main page as it counts backwards now after the release. I don't know how to remove it. 16:05, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done! —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:46, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

ESO Expert, etc.
Here's the slider image we'd like to use for the Instant Expert showcase. Keep in mind it'll be running this month - but then replaced with something else! If you could pop the image into the slider where you see fit, that would be great; I'll make a note at the end of the month to come back and yank it.

I'm also going to add the links to the portal and videos to the pages as we discussed earlier - wanted to let you know I was poking at things today ;) - Raylan


 * Thanks for the info. It's live now! :) —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:49, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Armor images
Hi Tomb, I've been thinking as I've done the quests and got armor items for rewards, from the wyresses like the Wyress Mantle. How are we going to do with images of those do you think? I can't see a way to display them as we have done in Skyrim as the images of them in the inventory are tiny. The only thing I can think of is to have your character be dressed in the garment, if it is a garment like I have done on some of Oblivion clothing. 08:58, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Hbxn images
Hi Tomb.. Hbxn uploaded more than 25 images from his game and have added them to his profile. Isn't that a bit too much? I can't find the image policy for profiles right now.. 09:06, April 11, 2014 (UTC)
