Re:Cutter edit
Eb, you're almost due for another talk page archive. At any rate, I feel almost embarrassed. Three admins interacted with the editor and viewed the page before anyone caught. Funny thing is: I had just finished editing his talk page to tell him how impressed I was with the amount of content he added to the article, only to find out it was entirely lifted from UESP. Ah well, by the way, I finally updated the policies and guidelines for bad usernames. Wanna check it out and give me some feedback? I tend to make large edits like that without getting input from others. Most of the time, the rest of you guys just agree with my proposed policy revisions, but I want to make sure. Another thing: any word about the member of the month award? Are we postponing it for some reason? We haven't had a user featured on the main page for it since, like, July. :) -- 23:51, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for you loss. Hang in there, girly. Good luck with your move. If I was around, I'd help you pack and move. :P Where do you work? What do you do for a living? When I started editing here, I was unemployed and had tons of free time. Since, I've had two different jobs. Right now, I work in a call center as a CSR. Mostly technical support, sales, and customer service. I also do team leader sometimes, which is essentially a back-up manager pulled when there are not enough managers on the clock. Thanks for the info about the MOTM. I was considering nominating someone now, actually, but it's not a big deal. Soon here, I'm going to write a blog or post in the forum, reminding editors of how to report vandalism, since the role-playing threads block out the RC so much. Also, I'm considering using it as a campaign to recruit potential patrollers. For example, I'll mention that with the influx of edits that TESO will bring, we'll need more dedicated vandalism patrollers and list the requirements. Hopefully, key word there, it will convince more people to edit in the mainspace. -- 00:31, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Same here, girl. Literally, I wake up, hop on my laptop, walk to work, and sit in front of another computer screen for 8 hours straight, then walk home, and spend the rest of the night on the computer. I spend more time online, before a digital screen, than anything else. It makes my boyfriend mad, hahah, because he's an athlete. Kinda pathetic, but life is so technologically-reliant, it's difficult to function in society without intense computer skills. -- 15:53, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cool. I noticed a while ago that you guys were debating about the inclusion of a lead on book articles. Just an FYI, before I even knew about that, I added a section about that to SF:BOOK. Check it out if you're interested. -- 06:38, December 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Glad I could teach you something. See, I am good for something after all ;). At any rate, the  code is not crucial, but it is helpful and saves time. It's quite tedious to put apostrophes before and after every paragraph. Really, putting two apostrophes at the very start of the in-game text, and at the very end of the entire thing achieves the same effect. I find my method to be cleaner and neater. Also, I have this weird OCD thing about "saving" wiki space. I.e. using less characters is somehow better. Granted, less characters helps the page load faster for the reader, and helps the editing window open faster, if there's less data to load, but something so miniscule would have no detectable affect. -- 07:08, December 4, 2013 (UTC)

PNG images
Not sure if you were planning on doing this, but could I convince you to delete the jpgs you're replacing with pngs? That would really help us lower the list of unused files. Thanks :) -- 20:09, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wasn't sure if you were planning on doing it already. Figured I would remind you either way. :) -- 20:26, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Unused Images
Hey there! Sure, I can explain it. Back when I had free time (pre-children), I took a whole heap of screenshots of characters and locations in Morrowind. A lot of those characters didnt have pages at the time, but I uploaded them for when they WERE added. (being easy then to add an image, if it existed). Many of those pages are now created, and you and others have been going through and improving a lot of the images. So yes, by all means, if there are better copies out there (png, for example) feel free to get rid of them. They were only really added there to remove them from the Unused Files list (Which I was reducing down to a meaningful level, and got about as far as F or G. :( Ah well. Anyways, hope that clears things up. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:34, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Help
EbonySkyrim, Deyid Petteys blocked me for taking off classes while I was editing. You told me not to put classes on the article but Deyvid blocked me because I did what you said. I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me? EternalScroll (talk) 19:19, December 14, 2013 (UTC)EternalScroll
 * The block was probationary, only to stop the disruptive edits so you could read the talk page. I believe the class name should be included in both the infobox and lead. Why not? The reason we don't list classes in other articles, mainly, is because a). most of our expansive content is from Skyrim where there are no clear class structures and b). most of the Morrowind articles did not exist until very recently. The more useful information we can add to articles, the better. -- 19:29, December 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't really know what to do with this class thing. I get what you are saying and understand, but Deyvid Petteys put a probational block on me just because I was trying to take the class stuff off. I don't really know what to do with him other then put the classes on. EternalScroll (talk) 22:02, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

NPC leads
Hey Ebony! As we were talking about earlier, I have started the discussion on creating a new standard on how we word the NPCs introduction lead. Check it out here. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:35, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate Images
I see you are already on top of the duplicate images used by HumbleDaedricServant, I appreciate it.

It was a community directive some time ago to remove/replace all images with names like those images have as well, because they are clearly copies of images that already exist. Mostly this was to prevent intersite image plagiarizing, and it makes even less sense to reupload images already present on this wiki.

Having those duplicates may make it more confusing to users trying to use those images on other articles or their personal pages or whatever.

I may mark those images for deletion based on the two reasons above, but I would like to allow HumbleDaedricServant time to correct his page before those images are removed.

I would like to complain about a rogue patroller Sky Above,Voice Within Any material that is challenged and for which no source is provided may be removed by any editor.
 * for failing to comply with the current policies and style guidelines.
 * preferbly violating reference and sourcing policies denying contributors who use  references to link to an in-game book to provide a source to the subject in question.

I have been for the past several hours been trying to contribute to a page and have been blocked or had my material erased

the Thalmor skyrim page I have provided in game citations and communcated with the Patroller that my material has sources

he has even went back and deleted Jimeee  edits to the page

I will not stand for it any longer as an adminsttrator

I hope you can resolve this matter

Nav template help
Hello again Mrs Ebony. I spent the last minutes trying to figure this out, to no success; so i meant to ask you how can one make pages appear in the nav template. It shows the pages that you have added, but not the pages that i have added. My guess was that you updated the template's page but i looked up the history and there were no recent changes. Can you help me out? Thanks in advance. 13:55, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh. I apologize, it seems i have misplaced things around here. I thought you were adding the creature templates, when it was actually the bugs template. Thank you for the reply. 14:11, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

Invalid Information
Hi EbonySkyrim i have found that on the Grimsever's Return article there are multiple untrue facts. I have removed them, For example it is stated the mzinchlaft or whatever the location name the quest happens is is linked to blackreach. This is wrong as it is Mzulft. It is also stated the weapon is stored on a rack and can get stuck. This is the unique Scimitar and it is on the emporers boat and can only be accessed during the dark brotherhood quest line.

Hope you don't mind - The Gift
I hope you don't mind that I finished the Journal section of The Gift because it was only a header.

I noticed it because I actually was doing the quest in game (Been a long time since one of my characters joined the Volkihar Vampires so I needed a refresher) and was looking on the page to see about bugs and such, and noticed the header was there but no content. I took it upon my self to fill it since I had just done the quest and could easily go back a save or two to get all the necesary information.

Sorry if you were planning to get to it, I just thought I'd save you the trouble, and noticed that all the other Vampire side quests had their journals filled out. Actually I would have never noticed it didn't have a journal like the rest had that header not been there, so thanks! :) Imperial Scourge (talk) 17:57, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also feel free to make any fixes you deem necesary, since that was the first time I've ever had to really make a template and such and I used some other articles for reference on how to make it, so it might be a little bit off. Usually I just make really small grammatical edits or just undo vandalism! :) Imperial Scourge (talk) 18:00, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Bug section hiding
There was a decision a while back on bugs sections that we don't need to hide them unless they are long. It doesn't seem to me that the section for Dragonborn (Quest) is very long. Do you disagree? Unfortunately, there hasn't been any qualtifiable definition of what "too long" means - in my mind, it's only too long if it is more than 1/3 of the article. Maybe we need another consensus topic to come up with a hard and fast rule? Cubears (talk) 05:01, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Placed some fresh requests on the image request page... if you still do that sort of thing. Ikabite (talk) 18:30, January 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hooked to Portal... now.... you really don't play a lot of games, do ye? :D Anyway, the image with the daedric shrines and offerings, I'd love that from the Oblivion as well. But you can take your time, I'll be busy for the couple of next days. Ikabite (talk) 21:01, January 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Uhm, yeah, I guess the pedestals are the best place for them. I would've used the current pictures on the wiki, but they all have too different dimensions and I want them all fitting the left side of "Similar Containers" equally. --Ikabite (talk) 23:33, January 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sweet new Sigil Stone picture. --Ikabite (talk) 13:53, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not exactly the vision I had, but I can make all of these work, they're already added to the page. Thanks for the images! --Ikabite (talk) 15:12, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip. It would be damn nice if you could do the same thing you did with the Sigil Stone to the File:Cystal_Tower_6.png, keeping all the particle effects. Too bad it's a bad screenshot.
 * --Ikabite (talk) 15:22, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, I'll experiment with the size and placement of the pictures a bit more once I've got all that I need for the section. --Ikabite (talk) 15:26, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Image Requests
Thanks for all the images again. You even managed to get some Skyrim ones, you said you won't do. About the Crystalline Structure particle effect cut, it doesn't look as good as I expected it would. Perhaps the same image just left as a square would work better. The lightning attractor image is really good.

Do you know if it's even possible to somehow center the images added in the "Similar Containers" section to each other? I thinking of something invisible table-like, but I'm not sure that would work with HTML. Any ideas?

--Ikabite (talk) 03:20, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Played around with the table code. Hope it'll also be useful in the future. What do you think?


 * About the lightning attractor... well, I guess I'm sort of giving you new "quests" to do on the games. Ebony the Sight-Catcher. I'm really glad somebody is willing to take the pictures on this wiki. Got to the Portal 2 Co-Op campaign yet?


 * --Ikabite (talk) 08:18, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * The "Religion" bit states that daedric cultists use the soul gems as offerings, so I want to capture the moment. I want to see the shrine and soul gem or a couple places on an altar, a plate or whatever. I can't remember if there was anything like that in Oblivion. But I remember that there were daedric shrines at least.


 * I guess the same could be done in Skyrim with one of the several shrines there are.


 * And I want the picture be a bit stretched vertically so it would fir the left side of the section entirely.


 * --Ikabite (talk) 15:01, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I can't really tell if the picture looks like he's in hiding or not untill I've seen it. I'd give it a try. I've also more-or-less finished the content on the page, so once we've got images set, I'll publish it.


 * You've been an amazing helper, thank you once again.


 * --Ikabite (talk) 10:39, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * His pose is perfect. But Skyrim's robe stretching and his arm no-clipping through just ruins it. :D It'll be a small-ish picture, lets hope nobody notices for now. I'll come up with something better later. --Ikabite (talk) 11:09, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Good morning! I used one of the well pictures. The crystalline structure one looks worse than the one before, in my opinion. You don't think so? --Ikabite (talk) 05:59, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * If you can't find an use to them, sure. --Ikabite (talk) 06:09, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
