Image question
Hi Deyvid... I know I haven't been an admin that long but I have been uploading more than 4300 images to this wiki. When I started I was told we should have ingame images to illustrate whatever.. and for characters a specific size for consistency and showing full armor using the same size as for characters if possible. It isn't mentioned in the image policy but as TombRaiser also do, add such images to illustrate full armor. That's why I'm asking this question as you gave ok to Draevan13 to use a conception art image to illustrate the armor. If I had seen that it needed a new image I would have used the image Tomb had on that page File:Unamed Imperial Captain.png instead. Is it ok to crop the conception art images just because someone has uploaded them here? Just want to know.. :) 11:06, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hey!
Hey, I've been doing good. Still very active on the wiki and it's almost been 2 years for me here. I'm now a crat like you and Tim :P It's good that you'll be able to edit more, even if most is patrolling. As you can see a lot has changed in the staff list, such as having forum moderators and chat moderators now. We're really trying to prepare the wiki for ESO's launch, because we know when it's released there will be a flood of new recruits! Which is good, and also bad...lol But, hopefully we will have enough patrollers and moderators before that explosion happens.

I don't really go on IRC that much anymore, but when I do, it's usually just for CVN. Well, hope all is well with you and hope to see you around here a bit more, too. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:30, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Copyright Infringement
Hey, I saw that message you left on my talk page,

Yea, like you said I have copied from the UESP page, that I do not deny, and I'm really sorry about that. Blatanly copying is bad, but what say you if I revise the page to make it different from the copied content? I really like pages and I'd love to make them better. If I have your consent, I will revise the page myself, if not then oh well.

Weird Shout
Hey D,

I've just noticed that Miraak has an unique shout that he uses during his bossfight. I was wondering if I could add this one to the shouts page, since it has 4 words instead of 3, and may wreck the page sections if I do so.

Katz 12:38, December 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Make mention of it on the talk page. I'm logging off now. I'm sure someone who edits that article regularly will be able to help you. -- 12:40, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Cutter edit
Hi Deyvid, I've seen what you discovered and I should have seen it too as I did leave a message to him about using "the player" and so on.. He said to me he had "copied the info from an Oblivion guide I (he) made a while back" so I never had a thought and looked on the UESP wiki. Glad you saw it. :) 23:27, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * :) Hi again... I've had too much in my head lately, lost my mother, dealing with everything around it, packing and cleaning my flat as I'm taking over her flat, and selling my flat and on top I work... as for the MOTM, Tomb thought as we didn't have any candidates for September, not enough editors to choose from who were active, we should postpone and leave it until ESO Online arrive in spring. I think the voting for September when it was started again faded out... I'll have a look at the updates you've made tomorrow when I have time and let you. Need the bed now.. zzzzzz 00:09, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

MOTM
Yes, there is something you missed. The MOTM is currently disbanded for various reasons. One of them being that there aren't that many people activity contributing to the wiki to be noted as Member of the Month. The other reason is because calling it "Member of the Month" doesn't really tell you that you need to be actively editing the wiki to get it. For instance, people who are active or popular in the forum would be suggested for MOTM even if they've never contributed to wiki articles. In the past we didn't have active forums, so there was confusion on who is eligible for MOTM.

It was also suggested that if MOTM is for those that contribute content to the wiki, that it be renamed "Editor of the Month" and not "Member of the Month" because forum members are still members. You can read here about what was discussed.

We didn't get rid of it entirely, since we were planning on bringing it back once ESO was released.

Thanks for letting me know about the edit you encountered which was taken from UESP. Of course I'll watch this user's edits to make sure more doesn't appear. Unfortunately not every single edit can be caught, but it is good that you discovered it in time. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:22, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * We actually do need more Patrollers. AutoBlood is really the only active patroller and CheatCodeChamp and Balgog also still come by, but not as active as they once were. I think MHInifite would be a good canditate for Patroller as he's been adding a lot of ESO content, and he's also been watching other people edits along the way.


 * Documentalist would be a good candidate for Editor of the Month, but we should actually fix it first, so there is no confusion on who can be nominated for it.


 * As for forums flooding the RC. It's crazy. I did mention on my visit to Wikia that we would like the option to move forum content, at least to the side-bar, similar to how recent blogs are viewed...but, of course no changes to that yet. It would be great if there was some magical way we could side-bar all the forum posts. xD — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:20, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Excellent ideas there! I would love to see forum activity in the sidebar, with an auto-refresh feature like the Recent Changes themselves. They could use a widget similar to the one Facebook has in the upper righthand corner of the screen, the one that constantly scrolls as updates are made. I would not be against the notion of having a separate recent changes altogether designed specifically for talk pages, blogs, and forums.


 * If you think MHInifite would be a good candidate for Patroller, start the nomination process ASAP. :P -- 01:48, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Imperial Legion Soldier photo
I was wondering, since I just got Skyrim for PC for Steam, if I took a picture in-game of an Imperial Legionnaire and uploaded it to this site, would it be acceptable? I just really don't like the current pic of that Zombie-Legionnaire :P  01:42, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Your signature is broken, sir. Back on topic: certainly! Feel empowered to take as many high resolution screenshot as you desire. Try adding images to articles without images as well. Make sure that the replacement is, indeed, higher quality first. And, as well, photographs  MUST  be properly attributed and licensed or face deletion. I'm sure you're already an expert on the help pages TESWiki has to offer, though, so I'll lay it rest. :P -- 01:54, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Re work
Thanks.. everything happened so fast and I wish I had more time to fix the flat. Well I work in a large hospital, used to be in the OR for many years but something happened and as I was interested in computers I was asked to help with launching a software and also other stuff. Since 2011 we have our own Help-desk and we (2,5 people) look after over 500 computers, give passwords and rights to users and stuff like that. If we can't solve it we send it to the official help-desk. So I'm in front of a computer all day long. :) 10:46, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Deyvid, have just read the changes you made on the Policies and guidelines you made. Looks fine to me. 06:36, December 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Had a quick look at the page. Great and even I learned something new... lol, how to italicize properly which I haven't so far according to the guidelines.. ha.. ha.. 06:50, December 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Youtube channel
If possible, could you go onto the wiki chat ? I'd like to talk in private more about the youtube channel stuff. Thanks :) --Speysider Talk Page 20:54, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply
Yeah, things have been going pretty good. However, as I think you might have noticed by the fact that I took a few days to reply - I am not able to get online as much anymore. (Ethan pulls the wifi usb if I try and use it when he is awake, and then there have been some mild internet connection issues as well). As for the wiki - yeah, it's been going pretty well. These new forums have really kicked off, and they've got a whole heap of newcomers so it's been pretty great. And there's always new content about TES: Online. Oh, Tombs is now a 'crat, too. Which is good - because, well, she's been pretty much covering for me for a while now. As for MotM - I think it was due to a lack of people interested (i.e. always rushed, and people nominating themselves). Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:19, December 7, 2013 (UTC)

Review request
Recently I have been redeveloping the console command pages, I'm sure you noticed. Now that the majority of the pages are converted, I'm focusing on documentation:
 * To help our readers I've made Console Commands (Skyrim)/Navigator Help.
 * To help our editors making similar pages as I did for the console commands, I've included some comments in the wiki text of these pages, and I made before and after.
 * I realize I've have to document the templates too.

I've 2 questions/requests:

1. Could you review the help I made?

2. I'm happy with the place of the readers help, but where should I put the editors help? Make 2 buttons under help, one "help for readers" and "help for editors"?

Thanks, Documentalist (talk) 22:34, December 7, 2013 (UTC)

Jarjarkine please use a header at the top of your message
Hi. Can you tell me how can we update the research bar so that it will be liike here with the picture?Jarjarkine (talk) 22:39, December 7, 2013 (UTC)

Speculation on Aventus Aretino page
Hey - Lucklima13 just added a sentence to the background section for Aventus Aretino. It is speculation, but it appears to be fairly well thought out. Should it just be deleted on sight, or not? Just looking for another opinion before I take action. Cubears (talk) 03:16, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

Re: ViP
Thanks. I'll try to think of the cases you've mentioned next time, so i don't hinder good-intentioned editors. 10:08, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

Bad edits
Hi again. Can i ask you for guidance for how to deal with this user? He keeps adding those prejudicial edits that are most times unnecessary and that degrade the article's quality. I have math test tomorrow, so i can't stay all night to undo all of his pile of edits. Thanks in advance. 03:33, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll see if there are any left by the morning. 03:45, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking care of that editor. I was wondering how to handle him without being a jark. Cubears (talk) 03:51, December 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Both of you handled the problem appropriately. At this point, it was out of your hands. Keep in mind that not all of this editors contributions need to be reverted. I have looked through about 20 or so, and some of them can stay. I removed all of the troublesome ones that the two of you did not snipe out already. -- 03:54, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Re: PNG
Hi Deyvid... sure, I do that now and then when I haven't got anything to do. ;) 20:11, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Unused help page?
Hey there, the link you left on my talk page (Help:Reverting) redirects to the wiki's front page. I don't know if it happens just for me, so i meant to ask you what caused it (as i am almost sure help pages shouldn't be redirected). Thanks in advance. 23:18, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Anvil recommendation
Greetings - etc. etc.

We cannot find that quests mentioned on a page should be in quotations in the Manual of Style. Please help. As for links, we were told that horse (Oblivion) worked just fine. (If the "Oblivion" wasn't capitalized, it was our goof.)

Thank YouDarthOrc (talk) 06:47, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

To answer your question, it was Wenny0119. DarthOrc (talk) 07:50, December 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Our point about links is this: if how we make the link in source mode has no effect on the final appearance of a page when it is read, there is no reason to put in all the extra keystrokes. (This is unlike the objection to us using instead of  ). It is more efficient to use horse (Oblivion) than it is to use horse and, as far as we can tell, it does not change the appearance of the final page or the effectiveness of the link. Also, we can not find this discussed in the style guidelines, in fact, there is this: Only proper nouns and the first word of article headers should be capitalized.
 * As for putting quests on a page in quotations, putting anything that is not a quotation inside quotations is incorrect grammar. Surely there is a better way.
 * About the page Elder Scrolls Online, thank you for your offer. If you can fix any part of it, we say go ahead. We are totally disgusted with the page anyway as it uses "the player" multiple times and would require a major rewrite to bring it into compliance with TESWiki style guidelines.DarthOrc (talk) 06:38, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

YouTube channel
I heard that there was an Elder Scrolls Wiki YouTube channel, If this is true, do you know where I could find it? I have a YouTube account and would like to subscribe. Zippertrain85 (talk) 06:54, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. =) Zippertrain85 (talk) 16:11, December 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * You need to unlink the channel from Google+ (it is currently linked to a Google+ profile) and relink it to a Google+ page as soon as you can and then rename the actual Google Account to a real name or it has a high chance of being banned for violating the Google+ username policies. Message me on the chat if you need help in doing this. --Speysider Talk Page 19:21, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Template
Yup! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks!

My mistake
Sorry Deyvid, but you've messaged Crazy because of my mistake, which was taking the Molag Bal artice thing as vandalism. Regarding that, i have to remember those can be accidental, although i can't figure out why they happen. 01:48, December 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for clarifying it up to me. 02:30, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Crazy131 (talk) 01:53, December 12, 2013 (UTC) Yeah thanks for clearing that up Sky i was wondering why he sent me that message the beggning part not the last part.
