Jimeee
You might want to take a look at the Jimeee reconfirmation. We have users fabricating rules (the forum creator), and we have users under the misconception that we follow Wikipedia policies that have not been voted on here by the community. An Administrator really should address this issue, as it seems a portion of the community is ignorant of how Wikia guidelines and policies work here.  Some Assembly Required! 20:54, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I am officially asking for you to step in and look into the user SuperSajuuk. Not only was he directly involved in the incident above, in which he broke TES policies by disrupting wiki consensus, but he has also taken to removing messages from my talk-page. This user clearly has an agenda, and him vandalizing my talk-page is the last straw for me. [[file:ForGaroux.png|40px|link=User:GarouxBloodline]] Some Assembly Required!

Equillibrium's Status of Inactivity
I posted this on Timeoin's talk page but he hasn't replied in almost 2 weeks.

I just wanted to address a small issue of the News team ( http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:NEWS) where one of the members, Equillibrium, appears to be inactive. Unlike The Milkman he is not listed as inactive, though he appears to be as he was quite active prior to March - April 2014, after that he had no contributions.

So should he be updated to inactive or stay listed as an active user?

Meeting soon
Hi Tomb, Flight and I have been talking about getting together for a meeting later this week on the IRC channel, we would be glad if you can attend if you are back from your trip. Let me know soon please.. 22:47, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Hadvar and Ralof
Hey,

Can both Hadvar and Ralof survive Helgen? I am told only one lives, but I escaped with one and joined the other army and ran into the other, but I may have also had a glitch of some kind. I made an edit saying both survive and User:Tesshu informed me I was mistaken, I figured I should make sure.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:34, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I made a search on the net and found several places where people confirmed that both survied. 00:05, August 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe both Hadvar and Ralof existing in the same game is a known bug. 00:39, August 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I suspect that is not only a bug but also a plothole. Tesshu (talk) 00:59, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

Battle of Fantasy Foods: Sweetroll
Hey there! Hope you're doing well.

I wanted to point out to you and the Elder Scrolls community that we're currently running the Battle of the Fantasy Foods bracket tournament, and members of the Elder Scrolls community nominated Sweetroll again this year!

Can you let the community know that the vote is on, and that currently Sweetroll is struggling a bit? We'll be serving the winning foods to the crowd at New York Comic Con. Would love one fo the top four foods to be a Sweetroll.

Thanks!

Shadow of Mordor versus tournament
Hi TombRaiser! I'm Mark, from Wikia's Community Development Team.

I'm reaching out to see if your community would like to be a part of a versus tournament we're hosting on the Shadow of Mordor wikia. It would go live in September, and we would be pitting The Dark Brotherhood against the Rangers of Gondor from Shadow of Mordor. The voting would live in a blog on Shadow of Mordor and we would post a button on The Dark Brotherhood's page here encouraging your community to vote for them. On the voting blog we would link back to your wikia, and we'll be promoting the tournament around Wikia. If your community would like to be a part of the tournament, which would include the button on The Dark Brotherhood's page as well as a link back to your community from the voting blog, please let me know by 8/29.

Thank you! Mark ( talk ) 21:42, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

Tamriel Map Video
Hi TombRaiser,

Hope you are well. Question for you. We are thinking of producing a video that features the Tamriel interactive map http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Maps/83 We were thinking the first video would feature the Landmarks content (basically it will present info on the landmarks cinematically). We'd love for you to do the voice-over for the video if you're interested and available. It wouldn't be long, maybe a 2-3 minute video and we could record you remotely. Lemme know your thoughts. If the video performs well we could turn it into a series and do one for each pin on the map! Peter 17:29, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

Book template
Hey,

Since it was you I asked, I figured I should run it by you again. I have a basic template we could add to book series and collections. I kept it basic and original to the line of secession template like on Emperor's of Tamriel and speakers of the dark brotherhood.

I have it on my Sandbox, it is using the name of a three mark collection from online, but the template will not be added for now. I wont add it for now, I dont wont to have to remove or replace it later, so I will keep it on stand-by until I get the green light on it.

Hope everything it good, Talk soon and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 22:56, September 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I like the way you think, It looks better without meaningless arrows. Once I am done cooking dinner and combing though the unused images while waiting for food to cook I will start adding it to the series I found. I assume we would want this on series or collections from all the games right? Not just Online.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:05, September 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I tested it out on Truth of the hunter and Dwemer Inquries to see it used on articles. I think it works and looks pretty good, but will attempt to find a way to simplify more more to prevent errors or frustration for newer editor's. I do think it is currently ready for use, but will hold off tonight while I work on bettering the template and an official go ahead from an Admin to start placing it.Cheatcodechamp (talk)


 * No problem, I figured it you had something important, that's why I went to Ebony. I will go to the chat and ask them, get a fast vote on what looks better, then once I restart my crap computer and get it time to reset and cool down I will get to work on the templates. Have fun with whatever you are doing and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 18:52, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Online Categories
Hey Tomb.

I think we may need a bot, and seeing as you are the only active admin who operates one, I figured you are the only one I can ask.

Online is the only game without a letters category, but it has notes. I figured we create a "Online: Notes and letters" category and have a bot move everything currently in notes there.

I am also going to create "Online:Journals" as we are lacking that, the Journals have all been going into a standard journal category. I figured I should let an admin know about the new category.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 20:48, September 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Its no problem, one more day wont hurt anything, thanks for doing it.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:23, October 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear it, Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 18:17, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Bugs (Skyrim) proposed removal
Thanks, but I don't think anything on at least the bugs section is salvegable. I may, however, see if something can't be done for the exploits, as it seems to be a waste to just delete all of those. NOTATHALMORSPY (talk) 03:01, October 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey TombRaiser, first of all, thank you for looking into it. I thought this bad-looking page will be here forever with deletion template. About your suggestions on the talk page: I think they're fine and there's nothing more to be added. Regards. Serve Akatosh or serve no one. (talk) 13:36, October 8, 2014 (UTC)

Aureals and Mazken
Hey Tomb.

Looking at the articles for the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, and I had a question. I was at the understanding that, despite everybody calling them Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, they where really Aureals and Mazkens. If this is the case, I would have assumed we would call them by their names the same way we call the races by their names, like Dunmer instead of Dark elf.

If their real names are Aureal and Mazken, I would recommend fixing the articles and categories to fix this, to keep to the tone we have on the rest of the wiki.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:18, October 8, 2014 (UTC)

Maiq
What's that thingy on M'aiq's page? Whatever it is - it looks absolutely EPIC. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 18:42, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a custom tab, that hopefully will organize the M'aiq page for once and for all. But, for now, that template tab will only work on pages that have a Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Online pages...because I don't know how to make the tabs not appear if I had added the other games, or if the other games didn't have pages in the following games. So... it's just being used on the M'aiq page for now. :P —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:45, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * If I may chip in here: instead of using CharacterTabs to do tabs like that, just use the, it looks much nicer and doesn't require you to reload a new page. :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 18:51, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * The M'aiq page is too long to all be on one single page, though. That's why I split them the way I did. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:53, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't need to be, tabview does a nicer implementation of tabbing different articles than the CharacterTabs template without requiring a user to load another page. Check my sandbox for what I mean here.--SuperSajuuk Talk Page 19:00, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I see. Is there a way we can change the design of the tabview to match how it looks on CharacterTabs? I think the CharacterTabs design is better, and saves space. We cold even use something like this to neatly organize all of our books pages. Edit: All like Tim said below other pages can benefit too. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:04, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I was thinking of how it could be used in a lot of other "clunky" pages that we have. Or even, (depending on whether the community wants it or not) for items such as Armor and Weapon types, which are essentially the same item, but have different stats due to them being different games. A simple mouse click up the top of the page, and you've got the info right at your fingertips. Much nicer way of organising the info, in my opinion. :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 19:02, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * @Tomb: There might be a way to do it with CSS, but the tabview style looks better than CharacterTabs (the template just looks kinda lame, no offence :P).
 * @Tim: I agree that some other pages could benefit from tabs like this, although I don't think tabbing should be used every time. In some cases, just merging the pages into one and using redirects might be better? --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 19:08, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Agree to disagree then, I'm not a fan of the "rounded edge" look on tabs, it doesn't look professional in my opinion. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:12, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Ayleid Ruins
Since this category right now seems to just have Oblivion locations, and since this category exists as well, would you mind moving "Ayleid Ruins" to "Oblivion: Ayleid Ruins" and changing this links with your bot, if you have a chance? --Shockstorm (talk) 02:37, October 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I have some time to do this right now. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:15, October 18, 2014 (UTC)

Chat
Hi Tomb! I was wondering, if you see this, if you can come onto the chat? There's something I'd like to ask and as a neutral party, you are probably best placed to answer! :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 18:35, October 27, 2014 (UTC)

Banned
Hey

I've been banned from the chat and the Wiki told me to confront an admin. So as I said I've been banned from the Wiki live chat thingy because we were joking around how the name of TES: VI is going to be. Earlier we made fun of the name Jyggalag. So I said (no idea why): "The Elder Scrolls VI: Jyggalagalagalag". And some Chat moderater named Divine *something something* banned me. I have been kicked earlier because I used caps on a sentence, and I deserved that, but I thing I don't deserve that ban. Maybe you could help me with my problem.

tes mods links
Hey! I see you have started updating links for the unofficial patches. It might be a good idea to consider contacting a sysop from Central Wiki and requesting an interwiki link to be created for this wiki. On the Mods Wiki, I requested a format of linking to this wiki from there, which has helped quite a bit: the same could be done here. If anything, I'd recommend the link being requested as "tesm", which will be short and simple :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 18:49, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just sent them a message about it. I didn't know that it was possible to have a customized interwiki shortcut links between sister wikis. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:02, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's good, most people don't actually know about it. Heck, I didn't even know about it until I spoke to Central Wiki admins :P
 * It'll save the hassle of writing w:c:tes-mods every time a link to TES Mods wiki is necessary :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 19:26, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * They made the shortcut now. It's tesm: —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:45, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

Skyrim DLC's

Concerning a user/ Preventing false information
I saw that the user, NOTATHALMORSPY, made an edit to Small Antlers stating the following, "However, due to a bug, you may need the Merchant perk." So I removed it. The reason why was there was not an area on that page detailing bugs experienced with that topic, and he did not provide proof for his claim.

If case he decides to readd it without proof and continues to readd after I take it off, can you point me in the direction of an template that I can post to his wall detailing an warming about making claims that are potentially false, and without evidence? Or is that something an Admin would handle.

Deads26 (talk) 03:53, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

An issued cleared.
Okay, will do! I was just wondering because on other wikia's if an user keeps adding false information after having it removed multiple time, an admin would post an warning via some template telling the user to stop. Thanks for the reply!

Deads26 (talk) 06:13, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

Possible violations under The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Policies and guidelines.
Hello TombRaiser! It's come to my attention while editing an page, that a user, The Rim of the Sky, has been adding quite an number of pages. While I fully support the addition of pages so the average user may become ever more knowledgeable of the Elders Scrolls games, these pages seem unnecessary. If not, then on a page that list minor/major characters and minor/major locations. It is my belief that he is adding these pages to  allegedly  gain edits and badges.

Before I decided to posted this, I consulted the The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Policies and guidelines. Section 6, Subsection 6.4 states the following: "Any person that edits only for the purpose of achieving "badges" or "achievements" will be given a warning depending on the severity and the amount of edits not done in good faith. If the user continues to perform pointless, absurd, unnecessary edits after the warning(s) has(have) been given, it will be up to the Administrator(s) on the Elder Scrolls Wiki to judge if the person qualifies to become blocked from the Wiki."

Again, this is an  alleged  action only at this point, and should be taken as such until an investigation has been conducted.  

It seems to me that these pages might fare better in the page, Characters (Online) and for some pages such as, Eastern Elsweyr Gate, be added to Imperial City (Online) page under an section (that's not there at the moment) called, Locations in the Imperial City (or something like that).

While I don't want to become an user known to whine about every little thing, I just wanted to run it by you before discussing it with The Rim of the Sky about how to potentially better place articles and prevent possible rule breaking as prosribed under The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Policies and guidelines.

On an more positive note, I must applaud his additions to Races (Arena) which has played a role in me ordering the game.

User:Skyrim90000
Hello, recently I have been seeing Skyrim90000 creating a number of pages. I am fine with this, but I want to note he puts absolutely no effort into making it a quality page. I don't think this even qualifies as Wiki standards, not to mention he put no stub template in there and made several errors.

Here is what I am talking about:

Thank You, Pirate Dog (talk) 01:02, November 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know. I've removed those pages. This user has been continuously warned and banned and does not seem to take editing on here seriously. I have since block the user for a time. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:23, November 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * No Problem, thank you for solving the issue :) Pirate Dog (talk) 04:12, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Concerning Wiki Formatting
Hey, I have been editing locations recently to for the wiki to fit the template/format here:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Style_and_formatting/Locations#Article_layout

However, I wanted to ask if this is ok. As you can see by my recent edit here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Arrille%27s_Tradehouse

The format doesn't say anything about Description (It said background and I thought that was misleading). Is it ok to put description headings on location articles? My second question is that this particular location has a lot of characters. I was wondering if it would appropriate to put a characters header and list all the characters and their uses.

Thank you, } 03:57, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

TESO Console Beta Question
Hey there TombRaiser (also sending out to a few other admins),

This is Jorge from Wikia's Community Development team. We're always reaching out to publishers and developers about potentially cool opportunities for our communities, as you may know. Recently we learned we may get a chance to do an exclusive beta code giveaway, specifically for your community, for Elder Scrolls Online's Console release. We were hoping this is something you and your community would find interesting and would be willing to promote across your community's article pages (we'd handle that part) and mainpage in a temporary module of sorts. This of course would only be temporary while we distribute codes to Elder Scrolls wiki visitors (from a week to a month, depending on what you all prefer).

Do you think something like this is possible? Got any questions or feedback?

Let me know on my talk page! All the best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:50, December 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Re your talk page: Great! The promotion would be at the top of the page and would be a thin pencil banner special for the Elder Scrolls community. I believe the one we've used before is only 90 pixels high, so it can fit a logo and some text about the giveaway. But it can be smaller potentially. We're happy to work on it so you're satisfied. Just let me know! ;)
 * Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 18:19, December 4, 2014 (UTC)
