User Arshudar Al-Muhdarin
I would like to report a user, stated above. He keeps adding mis-information to the Skyrim Civil War page and reverts my edits whenever I correct him. If you look through his edits on the page you'll see what I mean, but to sum it up he's adding... ugh, I hate using this phrase as it makes me sound like a dick... "Stormcloak propaganda", claiming there are many non-Nords in the Stormcloaks even though there isn't a single one in game, saying most of Skyrim supports Ulfric and hates the Empire, stuff like that. I was wondering if you could do something about it as it's getting tiresome to undo his edits.  DRAEVAN13  02:11, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Forum Bug
Hey Ebony its me Harold, I was just wondering about this damned bug that has been happening this week. Today I was hit pretty hard by it, none of the posts from today were visible for me, only those from yesterday. So my question is if you or another admin know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix it. 00:33, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ebony, I hadn't seen that thread before. It really helped a lot and now I know how to fix the bug. Again thanks.  12:51, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Elsweyr (Room)
Should we even have a page for this? I think yeah, maybe have a page for the testing locations that can be accessed by Command Prompts, but I dont think they are all page-worthy. For one thing - there is nothing really that SHOULD link to that page - so it will remain on the Orphaned list unless TombRaiser puts it on the Orphaned List link-page on her user page. I'm saying this all to you for no other reason than you edited recently. Carry on ;) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:21, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Closing Forums

 * Hey Ebony, so I'm a Forum Moderator now, and I noticed that I'm not able to close forums, as the option doesn't appear. I assumed it would be something that came with the job as it does involve forums. But I'm just curious, is it something that Forum Mods can do, or only Administrators? Thanks. :) I am Sylar (talk) 01:05, February 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, only admins can close threads. 01:09, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's what I assumed, but the thing is, I've seen Alduin close forums before. So, that's kind of why I was confused about this. I am Sylar (talk) 01:15, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Are you certain he didn't remove the topic instead? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:18, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, he might've done that. Is that like our version of closing a Forum? I am Sylar (talk) 01:19, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well forum threads should only be removed in cases of spam, vandalism, and anything that violates the forum rules. They can be closed, or requested to be closed if the thread has gotten too long and you want to start a new topic, or if the original thread has gone way off topic from its original intent. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:26, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Erik the Mad
Could you please talk to this user ? As you will no doubt see, he repeatedly abuses the undo function and has been reverting edits from MANY users for apparently no reason and mostly because he claims they are redundant. He does not assume good faith in anyone's edits and his talkpage is proof that he has been abusing the function for a long time. It's gotten out of control and I'd like if you could deal with this situation. I have copied this to TombRaiser and Timeoin in case you don't see this message. Thank you :) --Speysider Talk Page 18:52, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Ebony, could you post all of the rules of the wiki on my talk page, even if they are a little long? Sometimes, these rules get weird, and I want to know them before I break them. That would be great.

Character Images
Hello EbonySkyrim, thank you for letting me know. I did not know we had a standard size for images, but I will do them that way in the future. I can start using the png format as well, I appreciate you telling me. :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 01:07, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I uploaded a picture to the Affable Gent page, can you tell me if it's done correctly? It does seem a bit to zoomed out though :/. Thank you Ghost Anubis (talk) 06:00, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I used online image converter, to change the image to png. Then I uploaded it, to Photobucket. Where I tried cropping & enhanced the image. But, when I try cropping to make the image zoomed in more, it cuts out much of the image. What would you recommend for me to use? Ghost Anubis (talk) 12:25, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well that appears to be as good as I can make them. If those aren't good enough quality, then please tell me & I won't add anymore pictures to the pages. Thank you EbonySkyrim. Ghost Anubis (talk) 15:41, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I do believe I fixed the problem, I wasn't exporting the pictures out of Gimp correctly, the reason for the distortion was making small pictures to large. Let me know how the current picture looks, I appreciate you helping me with this. As I would rather do it correctly, or not do it at all. Thanks EbonySkyrim. Ghost Anubis (talk) 02:27, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I had a feeling you would say that because I was thinking it as well :P. I went ahead & updated the brightness of the image. I think it looks even better now. Is there anyway to remove all the other pictures from the file history? Because seeing them somewhat bothers me lol. Now that I know how to do them, I believe I can get back to uploading more pictures again :) Especially because I'm planning on buying Morrowind & there seems to be many pages that need pictures for them, as well as being edited. Also I went ahead & added the colon for you in source mode as it seems to bother you if I don't ;) Thanks again for all your help Ghost Anubis (talk) 14:05, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I appreciate that thank you. You're right it does look better with it I agree. I will start doing it now as well xD Ghost Anubis (talk) 08:53, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

He's doing it again, reverting my edits and claiming there are "Many non-Nord Stormcloaks" on the Civil War page. Oh, and he's removing bits that say there are Nord Legionnaires as well, just in case we were thinking he wasn't a hypocrite.  DRAEVAN13 14:40, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Images
Its not hard, those were just place holder images. I place images so I know which pages I am currently working on the images to. I usually don't have much time to take pictures and edit them to the right resolution. So I take the picture and post it, later when I have time I edit them and done. I started with the Map location images(You can go check, all my map locations are 825x500) and will do the characters next. 10:41, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

 * I just went through your contributions yeah, that's alot of work but I suppose that's why you're the admin hehe :P I will add that every time I upload more images, there are many map images that need to be uploaded as well. This is off topic, but I was going to add the Base id & Ref id to the Northwatch Mage page. How do I find them? I know you can find the ref id in the console, but which one do you choose on the list? And where do I find the base id of characters? Ghost Anubis (talk) 09:54, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah I was just looking in the CK I can find the base id for characters but not the Ref id. I couldn't find the Ref id for the Northwatch mage, & I could only find the base id for the Northwatch faction :/ Ghost Anubis (talk) 13:11, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Ebony I just had a quick question regarding map images. Is there a certain size they should be in as well? Ghost Anubis (talk) 17:21, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Editing Help
I sent a message using a contact form but am unsure if it was sent to your staff or to the main site staff...I'm new to actually using/posting here so I apologize for my incompetence. I just want to be sure that the message is sent to the correct admins.

I was attempting to edit the "Created Potions (Skyrim)" page to include ingredients from Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. When I tried to publish it said "It appears that you have committed an act of vandalism in your previous edit" and to contact an administrator. I thought perhaps it was because I did not have an account, so I made one and received the same message. I'm not really sure how to correctly contact the right people, hence my above actions and this message (as well as one on another administrator's page, however I'm not sure if that went through correctly).

I'd really appreciate some help. I am very confused!

Edit conflict on the Orsinium page
I'm having a disagreement with Dovahsebrom on the Orsinium page. If you could weigh in before this escallates into an edit war I'd appreciate it.  DRAEVAN13  18:39, February 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, do I remove the section claiming Orsinium was destroyed in the Fourth Era? Because Dovahsebrom's source is the loading screen "Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times." which, in my opinion, is not concrete evidence since there's no Era mentioned at all.  DRAEVAN13 21:28, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Hey Ghost
Well I don't want to, as I have said I do love it here. I would feel bad leaving as well, especially with you because you have helped me so much with the images & been really nice to me :) Then it might seem like you wasted your time. I know you were trying to be nice, & I don't blame you for anything I think you did a great job still. You probably understand it more then many others, because he also would do the same things to you as he would me lol. It looks like he has, so far anyways as I haven't seen him edit any.

Re-Evaluations
Hey Ebony, just came to say that since Zipper has been putting up the Re-Evaluation threads on the Consensus Track, it might be a good idea to Highlight those threads, in order to get as many people putting in their opinions as possible. I don't know whether you would want an influx of the community going to those threads however, as it might increase the chances of people getting voted for on popularity. I hate to say this, but I can't be sure everyone in the community will vote honestly on what they feel, and people may just try to gain friends from this. Ultimately, I guess it is up to you Admins on whether this is an idea worth doing. 21:57, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Arshudar Al-Muhdarin reverting edits again
Despite Tombraiser and Zippertrain's requests to stop adding information about there being "Many non-Nord Stormcloaks" and "All Redguards and Hammerfell support Ulfric", user Arshudar Al-Muhdarin keeps adding this information to the Skyrim Civil war page. Can something please be done about this?  DRAEVAN13 20:28, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Intros...
Hey Ebony, when an article has a long intro, should I just break it up into smaller sections? Because I honestly think it looks a lot more professonial when it's done that way, but Cubears told me that it was against the editing policy, so I'm kind of confused. I hope you can clear stuff up. :) I am Sylar (talk) 20:21, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

Editing

 * One, My website was deleted off the pageby someone...so i readded it.

 * Three, seeing that i am being falsly accused of doing it all day hardly seems fair.

ESO Images
Hello Ebony, so I was going to upload an image for the Kaleen page. However, somebody already has an image with the same name. They never uploaded it to the page however, the file name is Captain Kaleen.png. Anyways, that particular image has the hud, & shows the dialogue. I don't know if that's preferred, or not. However, mine doesn't have the hud or the dialogue. So what should I do here it gives me the option to ignore warning & save file anyway. Or submit modified file description, never had this issue before. So I don't know what's best to do in this situation thanks. Ghost Anubis (talk) 08:38, March 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thank you, do you know a way to remove the quest cursor, from the game? Some of my images have them, & I kind of feel it takes away from the images just like the hud does. I don't think, I can make the quests inactive like on Skyrim, I could be wrong though. Ghost Anubis (talk) 09:41, March 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright well thank you for your help Ebony, I will try messing around with them later on today. If I figure out how to remove the cursors, then I will re upload them. :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 10:04, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Re: Editing
I am aware that i deleted some websites but only out of frustration that someone else deleted my website.....i know now that what i did was wrong. i am still new to the whole wikia thing and was confused as to why someone would delete it.

Multiple edits
Multiple Edits - Have you seen the size and scope of the page? And did you bother to look at what edits I was doing? I have been trying to update the tables for each skill and add information as I have encountered a trainer that was not on the list. It is not feasible to wait until all the information is gathered, as that will probably not happen by me - or any one person. There were multiple edits yesterday due to the table formatting for each skill (27 tables) and new information, which I did not even get to all of them. Then as I was exploring (I edit as I play often) I stumbled upon the hidden area where there were several characters who were not on the lists and needed to be updated.

And when editing tables with a lot of information it is much easier and limits errors by editing each one separately - as opposed to editing the entire page. Trying to make that many changes to one page would invariably lead to more errors. Once the page is fleshed out and formatted properly, additions to each table should be easier and updates fewer. I hope that helps your understanding. And I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of pointing this out and telling me it's unacceptable, as I am working to improve the wiki and I don't make edits for the sake of making edits, instead strive to add new content. The Morrowind portion of the wiki is in dire need of help. DLanyon (talk) 15:46, March 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation, although that completely dumbfounded me. IF I was worried about badges, I wouldn't spend time on a single page working to improve its content and format.  As I said above, due to the nature of reformatting multiple tables, for me, it is much simpler to tackle each one separately.  As for any 4-5 per minute, hogwash - If I had done 4 edits in a minuted, repeatedly - then yes your concern would be valid.  But the edit history is over an 8-9hr period and in the couple of cases where there are 2 edits in a minute, it was either due to a typo I missed in preview or when I cut and paste a new trainer's info from one table section to another one.  Today, I am hoping to finish reformatting the tables there, so there will be a few more edits to that page. Then I can get back to updating the separate skill pages.

Re: Vivec, Foreign Quarter
Well to be honest, I was thinking about just adding all of the information to just the Vivec, Foreign Quarter page. Then I found the subpages, and didn't really know what to do at that point, if I add it all to one page, then it will be a big page, it already kind of is. Also, for the images I added for the Foreign Quarter Lower Waistworks should I just make a gallery of the 6 sections at the bottom of the page then? I was planning on doing that anyways, so I didn't really feel the need for the other pages to exist.They did though, so I figured mine as well add information to them. Should I just mark the subpages for deletion then? But yes, I can add it all just to the Vivec, Foreign Quarter page no problem :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 11:23, March 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well I did the first 3 sublocations, on the page take a look when you can, & let me know what you think. Didn't have time to finish the other 3, or the gallery, but I took the pictures for it, I will later on though. Ghost Anubis (talk) 19:05, March 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay Ebony, I have ran into a problem, currently I have done the walkthrough of all 6 sublocations. Added all charatercs etc, I was going to upload images into the gallery, of each sublocation. But every time I try uploading them it says they're jpg images, when they aren't. They are in fact png format, I haven't changed anything from before, it appears to be a problem with the wiki itself or something. Ghost Anubis (talk) 06:43, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know the quests list is very long lol. But there is a bunch of quests that take place there, leave no stone unturned kind of thing. Well I have tried & it's still not working properly, this all started once the heading color became yellow. Not even the images I uploaded yesterday, which I still have show up as png anymore, when I add the file it always says jpg. Even though it isn't, even on my computer it says they are png files. I tried right after i seen your image in the activity. I mean, I can upload them, but it will look like they are jpg images. I seen you added that thank you, yeah it looks much better I can use that in the future :) Ghost Anubis (talk) 10:07, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
