IRC help
Sorry to hear that! Let's see what I can do. First, I would recommend following Kaishiro's guide for setting up X-chat. It's not too difficult. It's illustrated with images. It's right here. If this is not an option, I would suggest that you type in #TESWiki, #TESWiki/CVN, and #TESWiki/Staff in the "channel" section when you open the IRC in the browser-bound client. Doing so, along with your username and password, should get you into all of the Elder Scrolls Wiki channels. Hope this helps! -- 06:06, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Image
sorry to bother you again i think i get everything about images but im not sure what the licencing i would use would be i got the image from a webpage and it seems to be copyrighted but downloading is allowed so would it be copyrighted free use allowed?

Oghma infinium (talk) 09:30, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

nevermind (i found the creative commons licence thingy

re:re:pic. licencing
ok this is just getting confusing thanks for all the help and everything but i think in future i'll just stick to simple editing no more pictures ot editing my page although i may add a picture to the skulls page because ive noted that theres no size comparison because i have come across many skulls in my travels and there are multiple sizes (not sure if there are different item ids or how that works) so i was thinking a picture of some skulls on a shelf to compare sizes would be good and im going to edit the ancient travelers skull page right now because ive noticed the information in it is innacurate.

Oghma infinium (talk) 20:39, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

re:screenshots

Image template
Hey, you did mean the licensing templates, right? I just created the following image licensing templates for Arena. I'll make the other ones later.

TESO News
Much obliged for the info sir. You've gotten through to the right guy and I'll be writing up a blog on the subject within at least the next day. Actually. it might be a bit longer as I've just gotten the incredibly awesome Witcher 2 and am playing the hell out of it at the moment :D

Thanks again, and I'll get the blog up ASAP.

Cheers 20:51, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Weapons
I noticed that you were recently editing so I thought I would ask you. Are weapon articles supposed to have the "Appearances" section, because it's not in the Style and Formatting guide but some weapon articles have it? If it is not needed should I remove them if I see them.

Re: Dawnguard Article
Lol, yeah, I work better when it's crunch time, amazing that I managed it though, it was a lot of work.

Anywho, I might not be on later, I work at 11pm Central time, so I'll be leaving in about 2 hours. I have to start the rendering process before I leave so that hopefully i'll be done by tomorrow morning. If I do catch you though, then I'll talk to you then :)  HaLo2FrEeEk  Here I am! 01:22, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

I have attempted to name my pictures but I fail to find the correct way to do so. XD Kinda clumsy with the interface on this site.I just joined yesterday. So help would be appreciated.

Corrected spelling/grammar
Oh well you said you wanted me to name my pictures but since we can't rename them I don't need help.I will be sure to name my photos in the future though. I appreaciate your diligence in bringing my error to light. ^.^ I would hate to have uploaded 100 more images without naming any of them! O.0 lol! As I said though I'm kinda clumsy with this site's interface as of now but I'm learning it quite fast. I'll be sure to contact you if I need assistance though! Thank you!

Rendered images are not screenshots
Hi. I noticed that you are changing the licenses on many rendered imaged to include the screenshot license. This is not accurate. Rendered images are not screenshots from in-game and only require the "esimage" template. Please do not change these. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 05:32, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

New rights
As a patroller, you've recently been granted new rights. Please read this for an explanation on how to use them. If you have any problems, please come to IRC or contact an administrator. Thanks, Veetor-Bot III (talk) 22:58, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

on wording
hey i was wondering if you could help me on this ive been editing the lycanthropy page as someone said it needed attention because of misuse of the word player so just to clarify must dragonborn be used at all times when reffering to the dragonborn or does it depend? im not sure so could you please check my work

EDIT: oh thats new ive never had someone edit a page while i was editing it...

Base armor value for Falmer Hardened Helm
Greetings & Salutations, we were in the impression that an item's base armor value had to be without modifiers, (no perks, zero skill). One of our characters, who has a Heavy Armor Skill of 100 but has taken NO Heavy Armor perks, has a Falmer Hardened Helm. It shows an armor rating of 38, which is less than the value you put in the Helm's page. Please clarify. Thanks.DarthOrc (talk) 04:24, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, We don't think we can get the correct DV for this item as it would require a zero heavy armor skill to see. We guess that will have to wait until the PC version comes out. All we can do is remove your value.DarthOrc (talk) 05:44, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

BTW, we found that if our Dragonborn equips the helm its DV drops to 30, (the value of 38 was when it was looked at while wearing a matching set of light armor). Kinda strange...DarthOrc (talk) 05:44, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Faendal
It mentions in the book "Imperial Census of Daedra Lords" that a Daedric Prince named Faendal caused the Oblivion Crisis. It is obviously not true because most of us have all played Oblivion. Not everything in the books we find in the Elder Scrolls are true.

Okay. Thanks.

Apostrophes
By the apostrohes I assume you mean the italicizing of the game names. I try to add more to articles whenever I can but I must admit that sometimes I don't do much, but when I see a small mistake like that I just have to fix it. Sometimes, like on the category pages that I've just been doing, there's not really much else to be done. And what do you mean by following editors?

Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 03:49, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm not following anyone. Sometimes I just see the recent wiki activity and go to the article to see what I can do. Most of the time I do more then just the italicizing anyway. Would you say that adding some links and changing some disambig links would be enough? Or would I need to actually add some more content to the page as well? I just want to help out this wiki in any way I can.

Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 04:06, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Image Licensing
Hey Cheatcodechamp, I noticed a lot of Dawnguard images in the uncategorized files section but there's no Dawnguard templates. Are the Skyrim templates supposed to be used for them? I would think that there should be Dawnguard templates because Shivering Isles has its own templates.

Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 08:16, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

OOOOOhhhh Glitchy
There is a golden claw glitch(kinda).While my nephew and I were making a Youtube video:The Noah and Daniel Adventures;we came across Bleaks Falls Barrow again.About a minute into the video we came across the claw's door;it had simply began going down without using the claw. Well,just informing. just e-mail me at itriedtowarnher@yahoo.com when you get a chance verifying if it's a glitch. Thanks,Daniel Warner.

RE: Template Request
Sure, which image license templates do you need? (Maps, Locations, etc?) I'll make them tomorrow. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:47, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Not too many, so I made them already.

If anymore are needed, let me know. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!

Images to be Renamed
Hey Cheatcodechamp, here's some images to be renamed: Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 11:00, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * Needn't worry about renaming those images, i gone to the pleasure to do it myself. I had to test out some of my new privileges ;)
 * I have also notified Balagog to insert the {move} template for images that require moving, rather than posting them here. Dar&#39;Rajhin (talk) 12:04, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Plagiarism
Hey there! I don't know how active you are on this wiki or what, but I've just noticed something that bothers me: You've been plagiarizing some content from the other major TES wiki site, UESP, which this wiki's guidelines explicitly state not to do. For example, the content you added to Gul gro-Burbog's page on March 4, 2012 was already on the UESP page by February 2011. In another article, on March 30, 2012, you added content to the Achille article that was already on the UESP page by January 2010. I haven't gone digging through your history to search for every occurrence, but I&mdash;and a few other frequent editors of UESP, including the one who wrote those two articles&mdash;ask that you cease plagiarizing. It would be great if such articles could be rewritten as well. Thanks!  Vely ►t ►e 16:30, July 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It should be made clear that we try to remove any UESP content where we see it. These instances have slipped by, and I'll remove them. Apologies.


 * Feel free to contact me in the future if anything else slips by. I will speak to Cheatcodechamp about this.

Patroller template
Hey ! Some pretty cool news. Recently, we created a new user page template for patrollers of TESWiki! We need you to post it on your user page. Consider it a badge of honor and promise of commitment to the wiki! Here it is: Patroller. Thanks so much! And don't forget to look over our walkthrough for your new custodian abilities. Cheers and happy editing from your friendly neighbor admin dude. - 00:08, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Brellin
Hey,

Most of my pictures that I upload are my very own. The Brellin picture is from UESP.

Oh, I did not know that and I understand completely. I could not find another image from a different site, etc. I was in a rush for the previously posted message so sorry for not signing. All of my images that I post are typically from skyrim and are all mine. I put the watermark on them so that people know it's from this wiki :)!

Dawnguard Glitch
hey can you help me when i go to fort dawnguard i get attacked on sight is it beacuse im argoniann or have bounty somewhere or beacuse im a werewolf

Hey, i hope this message isnt late, if so im posting on both our walls,

Anyway, i had the same problem once, and its not because your a Wearwolf, im one to, its a common glitch that alot of players have, the best thing to do (beside not killing anybody) is either reloading from a past save or waiting 24 hours, one of these should help.

also, when leaving a message, remember to sign your posts using four tildes (~), it makes it easier to find you.

Hope that helps.

Bugs and voting
Hello there, fellow TESWikian! A few things to discuss with you. First, I have recently made a proposition for the formatting of Bugs on articles. I would greatly appreciate your opinion and suggestions here: F:CT:Flagging bugs. Additionally, two new TESWikians are applying for staff positions. If you have not yet voted, please do at the rollbacker page and the News Team talk page. And give your opinions on Balgog and Senjai. Talos guide you, friend. :D -- 06:50, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

So I found a video that describes how to fix a quest glitch, however when I went to put it on the page it messes with the text. So I thought I would show you the video and the quest.Ikilledkenny00 (talk) 23:36, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Oblivion Gate maps
The 9 city gates specific maps. Oblivion Gates shows the 10 city (static) gates. The gate at Fort Sutch is both random & static, in that it will always appear with the other 8 city gates, but when entered it will randomly be one of 4 city gates, Chorrol, Skingrad, something & something. Thats the same way i've always done it too, saves like 20min. 18:55, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Ya the gate outside each city will always be the same map, the gate at fort sutch will always be either the anvil, chorrol, leyawiin or skingrad gates map. Aand the other 50 will be random between, i think it's like, 5 other maps but never the same map used for a city. 00:57, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

RE:We Ride.jpg
Whoops! My mistake. Could you point out the original for me, so we can go ahead and humanely put down the duplicate? :)

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 18:13, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Haha thanks, I often keep an eye out for the wiki activity page, so I can typically reply fairly quickly ;)

Thanks for the name. Also, whilst I have your attention, I was trying to find a picture of Istar Cairn-Breaker for my blog, when I noticed his picture's name is mispelled. If you're not busy, you may want to rename

Cheers!

Bandits
For consistency sake, add Category:Morrowind: Bandits. Not only will this help us keep things organized, but I highly suspect enough bandits will surface to legitimize the category. As far as the IRC goes, I haven't logged in for several days, so I couldn't tell ya. I would recommending asking someone else about it. -- 03:40, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Morrowind Bandits
Thanks for letting me know about it. I'll keep it in mind the next time I run across some bandits in Morrowind. Speaking of which, do you know if all bandits are located inside caves? Because I was playing one day, entered a cave (or mine), and there were about 5 to 6 named hostiles. I'm wondering if those were bandits. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:41, August 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that does help, thanks. It's too bad I didn't know about the named bandits before I killed the ones in that cave. Oh well. At least it was just one cave, so I'll have many other opportunities to catch the names the next time around. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:45, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

dragon priests masks
Hi man. Im a Skyrim player, and im having a problem in game. I was gathering the 8 dragon priests masks, and i lost one. I think it is in one of my houses, but i cant find it. Is there a way to find an specific item in game? or a spell like clarivoyance or a comand in the console to put it in your inventory again? please help me. My mail is tatanga_n1@hotmail.com and my user in steam is Tatanga82

Hello,

i am having a problem with a word wall, i found the wall and learned the word,but the quest does not show complete.

later i joined the dark brotherhood, the word wall is blank there. is that because the other wall is not complete if so how can i show quest complete. so i can get the word for the wall in dark brotherhood.

Re: Shivering Isles town
Hmm, I would go with making their own separate pages, being that they are not the same person. And, since they each have different RefIDs and unique dialog, I don't see why they shouldn't each have a page with the naming sequence you gave in your example. Although name them Horkvir Bear-Arm (Mainia) and Horkvir Bear-Arm (Dementia); instead of (Demented). — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:55, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Oblivion: Magic category
Hey, Cheatcodechamp, please don't add the Category:Oblivion: Magic category to the individual spell tome pages. It's not necessary since those pages are already categorized under Oblivion: Spells and Oblivion: Destruction (etc...). Thanks. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:21, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thrasuna
Dear CCC, I've deleted the page you made about Thrasuna. That character does not exist. I think you made a mistake and meant Tsrasuna, of which an page already exists. 17:37, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hello,

I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to help you out, or if there is any pages that need some attention?

Oh, dammit. So stupid fault. I'm usually renaming the images to be uploaded just in this case, but forgot this time. Thanks for fixing it. Wharrgarbl (talk) 03:30, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Catching Up
Hey CCC,

Yeah, IRC has been very quiet the past couple weeks. I was also out of town a few days ago. I was on for a little while today, but didn't check if there were new messages after some time, so by the time I saw you had posted, you were already gone. Things are fine on my end, not sure where everyone else is, my guess is reality or other games. I'm still hooked on Skyrim as you can see. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:21, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Books
Hi. The edits I am making are to clear up inaccuracies in the overviews or make them sound a little more scholarly, because once this page is done it will be locked and I really dont want to go over it all again and check each entry for inaccuracies.

For example, "A brief overview about the Sabrecats and Khajiit found in Skyrim." sounds better than  "A guild about the Sabrecats and Khajiit's in skyrim". Also i'm trying not to use the phrase "A book about" as it can become overused.

Some entries were not correct like "A Inprisoned "fur trader" tells his tale of how he ended up selling the skins of man and mer." The book only mentions beast race pelts etc.

Also these were quite a few typos and non-wiki links. Please uses standard wiki links with square brackets rather than copy and paste links as it imports a ton of junk html.

You are doing good work, but dont get offended if I tweak some parts to make them more accurate. It's for the good of the wiki after all.

Jimeee (talk) 09:21, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Template
Yeah, I updated the Welcome to the wikia template. Works much better now I hope. Also its cool about the books - I know it can be annoying to have someone overwrite work.
