Book images
Hey.

I was working on unused images, and have been trying to add pages from books (Tim added a TON of these) and a few are from older games. After adding a gallery at the bottom of Lives of the Saints I was told that this was not recommended. I figured before I added any more images like this I should run it by you to make sure I am not creating a mess for you to clean up later.

Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 08:22, September 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand, I will stop adding the images for now. I would like to review the matter latter, but it is a small matter and there are other jobs I can do before those images become a larger concern of mine.

New Template I made
I made a new template for provinces, since they don't have one. This is similar to the Races template and uses the same code. Please notify me of whether we should use it, and if we do then feel free to make any changes you think it needs.

Template needed
Hey,

I just finished up created a article for a book, Circus of Cheerful Slaughter (Book), An article I grew to hate due to several reasons btw. If you look at it, you can see it is very plain to look at, while its book in the game has some curves to the layout of the lettering. Do we have something to give what we wrote more of the appearance of it in the book? The page looks boring and I was hoping we at least had some way to make it looks less bland.

Hope all is well, Happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 08:38, September 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, Got your message about Sheogorath, you sent it as I was writing my last message. I am glad we are merging the princes articles now, and thanks for letting me know. I will add merge it and the others later, dealing with the Circus of Cheerful Slaughter book hurt my eyes and now all I see is the same line over and over.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 08:42, September 12, 2014 (UTC)

Anubis on Synop Reevaluation thread
I was nothing but civil on the thread, Anubis was the one that resorted to insults despite me telling to not insult me. I don't see why you gave me a warning as well as him. 01:06, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Silly MOTM voting rule?
Hey Ebony! I have a quick question. On this page, The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Member of the Month, it states that chat mods and admins cannot vote on MOTM nominations. What's the point of this rule? It seems flat out silly. No one seems to be following it either, as you and Timeoin both voted on Ghost's nomination. I think that it should be removed, don't you agree?

Re: Auriel's Bow
That was necessary, the main article described nothing beyond what was said on the subpages. There was never a need for the Auriel's Bow articles to be separated, they should stay merged like I did. Also, I like how you take it out of context and blow it out of proportion with article merging, only some would have been merged in the first place. And getting rid of useless disambiguations is necessary, a lot of them don't even need to exist whatsoever! Can you stop hindering the wiki by reverting valid and contributive edits?

EDIT: Protecting your own edits now? How nice. Protecting articles because someone makes a contributive edit to the wiki. Good to see you are just going to revert everything I do to help the wiki, Ebony. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 12:24, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seriously, Ebony? Stop being such a whiny bitch. I'm getting very tired of you butting your nose into every little edit I make and telling me not to make them, the wiki will NEVER improve if you continue to tell editors to stop making contributive edits, do you want to scare away the memberbase with your hardass "let's tell people who are contributing to stop contributing" attitude? It is 100% blatantly obvious to me and a bunch of other people that you are doing everything in your power to find reasons to have a good gripe about what I do for this wiki and are looking for every excuse under the sun to block me from here. Are you blocking Ghost when he makes similar edits? Apparently not, because he's a sysop now. You let him do whatever he wants and yet I try to help and it's suddenly a sin? Grow up and stop acting like every edit to the wiki is bad, your perspective is way off and it will always be off until you realise that nobody edits here because of your attitude to editors. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 13:47, September 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * SS is right. Merging the pages is better than having seperate pages for games. Also, I see you didn't bother with fixing rest of the pages (because the other Auriel's bow pages are nowhere to be found) as well as the "mother page" since Auriel's Bow now links to itself. Serve Akatosh or serve no one. (talk) 14:11, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * What the flying fuck? You're a joke SuperSajuk - you fly off the deep end and act like a child because someone fixes your fuck up? If anyone should grow up, its you dude. Talk about an overreaction - that shit don't fly on any other wikis I've been on. It aint hindering the wiki when you make the page OBJECTIVELY worse. Merging all the Auriel bow pages into one is probably the dumbest thing I have seen - and i've seen some dumb shit. What if a person just interested in the one from Dawnguard? They would need to wade thru all the Morrowind and Arena shit to find the info/codes they need - how is that helpful? EbonySkyrim made a good point - what about all the other Daedric Artifact pages from the other games? Or even a boring Iron Sword that has appeared in all the games? Lets cram them all up into one big pile of unreadable shit? Plus, I was looking at the wikia guidelines (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Style_and_formatting/Weapons) and it even says all the weapons are supposed to get their own page. How pointless. Anor Londo (talk) 14:26, September 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello everyone. A neutral party here. Both parties have asked me to mediate on this particular issue. EbonySkyrim blocked SS due to the language used, and for insulting her on the talk page. As someone who is, as I said just before, neutral in these matters - I think it is probably a good idea to let this block stand. If required, I will ask one of the Wikia admins to mediate and have a look at the reasons for blocking - but I am pretty sure that they are going to say exactly the same thing - that it is a good idea for everyone to take a step back and calm down again. I am also going to give a 3 day ban to Anor for the language used in the post just above mine. Now, as to the issue that was originally disputed - Perhaps it is time to let the wider community discuss this issue. Currently, our policy is to have different pages for items that appear in more than one game. I will start a discussion thread on the general section of the forum shortly regarding it - and will highlight it so that everyone can see it. And, in order to not disclude SuperSajuuk, this thread will still be open after the current ban has expired. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 18:06, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Gender
Visst, kommer inte göra det något mer. Men det är också något jag tycker man borde skylta med litet mer på Wikin. Det finns inga exakta regler över hur alla artiklar ska vara uppbyggda/konstruerade med länkar, ord, beskrivningar osv. T ex så finns det en hel drös med artiklar på vapen som börjar exempelvis med: "The Steel sword is a weapon found in Morrowind." Medan en annan säger: "Iron sword is a weapon found in Morrowind..." Jag fick litet skit för att jag en gång ville rätta dessa genom att sätta in dem i ett mer grammatiskt sammanhang genom att låta vapenartiklarna börja med The (vilket om du frågar mig är mer grammatiskt korrekt), men tydligen fick man inte vara pedant då (något som jag måste erkänna att jag är). Det finns artiklarna som är fortfarande uppbyggda på det viset. Några börjar med The och några inte... Men om man vill ändra på det så räknas det tydligen som vandalisering. Visst, det kanske är en intetsägande edit att bara sätta in ett extra ord eller rättstava ett, men det skulle se så mycket prydligare ut om alla sidorna ville vara uppbyggda med samma grundprinciper. Exempelvis har jag sett sidor med sektioner slängda huller-om-buller, föremål som är lika varandra men ändå kategoriserade som två helt olika saker. Förstår du vart jag vill komma? Vore det inte bättre om vi hade ett stämplat regelverk eller kodex som säger till punkt och pricka vad som får/inte får ingå på en artikel?

Translation:

Sure, won't do that anymore. But that is also something I think we should flash out here on the Wiki. There are no exact rules of how all articles should be constructed/edited with links, words, sentences etc. For instance there is a whole bunch of articles on weapons that starts with: "The Steel sword is a weapon found in Morrowind." While another says: "Iron sword is a weapon found in Morrowind..." Someone called me out on that a little, for wanting to put them into a more grammatical context by letting the articles start with The (which if you are asking me is more grammatically correct), but apparently I wasn't allowed to be pedantic (something I have to admit that I am). Now there are still articles constructed that way. Some begins with a The and some of them don't... But if someone were to change that, it would probably be counted as vandalism. Sure, it may be an edit that really makes no difference, but it would look so much neater if all the articles would be edited based on the same basic principles. For example I have seen pages with their sections kind of all over the place, items very similar to each other yet categorized as two different things. Do you see my point? Wouldn't it be better if we had some sort of rulebook or code which says to the letter what should/should not be included on an article?

But I was mistaken for an alt by Jimee, and that account is now banned from all editing and chat. I wanted to explain myself sooner but my account couldn't send messages here. I now have ceased communications with JIGSAW, and deeply apologize. I would like to have my account back for use on this wiki, but I understand it you would rather not un-ban me.

Addition to the races template

I was also wondering if maybe you can add the Hist page to it, considering Hist is a sentient race, probably put it a new section of the template.

On another note, I reformatted the Nede page, so I was wondering if you could take a look at all the info I added (yes, it is sourced). Thank you in advance.

I am starting to gather a decent pile of book images from pre-existing books found in ESO, but I have been told not to add the images to the old book articles.
