Editing practices
Why was what the user TheInfamousLyingHarlot added to the Lieutenant Salvarus page considered irrelevant? She added precise information of the location of Lieutenant Salvarus. It may not be worded perfectly, but that is no reason to deem it irrelevant. We welcome all editors here and no one is going to make a perfect edit. Also, in the future I would ask that you not insult or use vulgar language in the edit summaries to anyone. Edit summaries are meant to let other editors know what you edited, not for issuing petulant comments. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:15, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, I can't remember my rationale behind that particular edit. I've reviewed it and simply can't come up with a reasonable answer, with the possible exception that it was meant for another article but, in my haste, seemed to be added to the correct one. I don't normally act like such an ass, but I will certainly use more discretion in the future. - Erik the Mad (talk) 02:59, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Trivia
Nope, stuff like that is irrelevant. Jimeee (talk) 18:39, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

That's what I thought. Thanks for the help. - Erik the Mad (talk) 18:44, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism
Got it. Thanks for reverting it, too ;) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:44, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Why did you remove the "in Skyrim" phrase from Haldir's Cairn? Every article begins with that ("XXX is a YYY in Skyrim"), which I think is a useful way to distinguish these articles from those about other Elder Scrolls games. Also, you left the sentence nbadly formed ("...is a cave located and the final resting..."). Cubears (talk) 03:34, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

That's just the way things are done around here. I'm not entirely sure why, though I think it has something to do with the fact that it always lists the game at the bottom of the page under 'Appearances' and is considered redundant. - Erik the Mad (talk) 05:29, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

Tamriel
Erik you keep putting back up the edit on the Tamriel article in which you say Tamriel is 12 million square kilometers but you have absolutely no evidence to say such a thing. There are no references within the Elder Scrolls that would specifically say the size of Tamriel. I left a discussion on the talk page of the Tamriel which you could rspond to if you have evidence that Tamriel is in fact 12 million square kilometers. If your going to say something and present it as fact then at least back it up with fact. NewYorker1350 (talk)

Is this some sort of feeble attempt at a joke? - Erik the Mad (talk) 22:29, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Why are you editing all my pages? Did i do something wrong? (Koekie715 (talk) 17:30, June 24, 2013 (UTC))

Removing game from lead
Hi Erik, please stop removing the game from the lead at this point. There has not yet been decided if this should be done. It was removed from the NPC templates and a few other templates but it was never said it was to be done on all articles. We have been talking about this in the forum Thread:286548. Please wait for a decision for the time being. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:47, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the apostrophe corrections :)

Are you sure that Thalmor Agent Sanyon and the cannable named Sanyon are the same person? Does he suggest it during Namira? Could you please let me know what you know about it? Thanks

Emchartreuse (talk) 14:09, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Sanyon
The Thalmor Agent named Sanyon was linked to Namira's Sanyon and I just wanted to clarify to readers that they are not the same person as far as we know (unless you know something differently). Is there a reason why my statement was not appropriate? It simply clarified that there's another Sanyon in the game.

Emchartreuse (talk) 14:22, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand; he's a named NPC with a piece of lore cannon on his body. Why wouldn't he have a page? I'm still learning how things work here so I could use constructive advice. Seriously, why wouldn't this NPC have a page?

Emchartreuse (talk) 17:27, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

There are pages for many dead NPCs, some of them don't even have names. This is for an unmarked location and fans of finding unmarked locations want this sort of information. He has a name, he has written orders from a major character in the game, he's at an important unmarked location, and he has a story that's interesting and funny. Just leave me to it, okay?

Changing
Why u change so much in short time.

Removed category
Crazy131 (talk) 16:35, July 9, 2013 (UTC) hey why do keeping removing my category's

The Liberation of Skyrim Page
The Liberation of Skyrim page is incorrect. The Battle for Fort Sungard has nothing to do with the Rift, and is linked to the point above it that involves the liberation of the Reach. It is redundent to add that the Rift is reclaimed next when it is listed under the numbered points the various forts that can be taken if Season Unending has been completed.

The article should be revised so that The Battle for Fort Sungard is linked to the step that involves The Reach. Any mention of the Rift should be linked to Fort Greenwall, not Sungard. Also, why mention only the Rift? Both the Pale and Winterhold can also be given to the Imperials in Season Unending, thus are also potentially in need of liberating.

In conclusion - that section of the page is potentially confusing and in need of cleaning up. Please edit it yourself or do not change corrections to that page. Cheers.

You sure whine a lot. - Erik the Mad (talk) 22:51, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

The Above
The post about the Liberation of Skyrim page was my only post...so I've whined once. I'm changing the page to something more clear. If you want to change it back it's your choice, but I don't see why you would. Surely this Wiki is about giving people clear and correct information? My edit does that.

You gonna stop crying any time soon? I don't appreciate it when people piss all over my page for no reason. - Erik the Mad (talk) 23:05, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Yep
Seriously dude? Fine, we're done here.

Tone
Erik, on this wiki we use friendly language. Everyone has a right to edit here and if anyone has a problem with anyones edits, use friendly talk and not condescending remarks. You do a lot of reverts on others edits but you hardly ever explain why. Please do not argue when those editors come and ask why, explain in a friendly matter instead. Thank you..

I'm not even going to bloody start with what your problem is, Erik. You're just another keyboard warrior. Draven Mephilés of Faerûn (talk) 22:32, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

You have serious issues, dude. - Erik the Mad (talk) 23:52, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
