Adding to profile
Of couse, ask away! Know now, though, that my profile went through various stages before it became what it is now, although that may just be because I'm extremely indecise... I'll try to answer any of your questions. 22:24, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can find all userboxes here. To make them look a different way, select the userbox, then click on the "Edit" button and view the code. Find the text that appears in the userbox (example: "This user is knowledgeable about Skyrim") and change it to the way you want it to look (example: "This user knows a lot about Skyrim"), then copy and paste it on your profile. You can aslo copy the ones in my profile to see what it looks like and test things out. Hope this helps. 22:59, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if you want the userbox to look normal, just write the userbox' name within two curly brackets (or something), like this:, so it will flesh out removed infobox. Feel free to remove this userbox when you get the hang of it. 23:08, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * There's really no problem, dude. I should be thanking the wiki for giving me something to do while my computer is broke. 23:37, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my absence, I have the unbelievably inconstant internet to thank for that.... I looked at your profile and there's nothing malfunctioning, so I assume you already fixed it? 02:34, January 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, good. Feel free to say anything if you have any questions about source mode. 03:04, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

Character images
Hi Ghost Anubis, I have edited your images you uploaded as we have a standard size for character images across all games if possible. I just wanted to let you know if you didn't know this. Also, if you upload more images, please use the png format as this is prefered, if you can that is. :) 22:45, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Weel, you have to crop the image first, not resize the whole image. What graphics program do you use? 12:12, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you don't have a program on your computer (they are pretty costly) you can use Gimp. It's free for download and it also take png files. They also have manuals on how to make it work.. 12:30, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, the character is still very distorted.. he isn't that thin. What you must do first is to crop the image. Here is an image from my graphics program. You see the whole image taken in the game. Now use the crop tool and measure something you think look alright in proportions and crop the image. Then use the resize and set it to 600x1000px, this is how I do it. I'm not sure how it looks like in Gimp but it's probably similar. Don't lock the numbers. You have to test a few times and maybe change as the character must still look like in the game, no distortions at all. Try it out a few times and you'll find it's not that hard. Then, if it's a dark image, adjust the light, sharpness and so on. Hope it helps. 21:52, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Much better :) Could do with a bit more light.. but it looks good. 13:00, February 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the previous images and about the colon, it's so much easier to read and it makes it "clean" ;) 07:55, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

Licensing and category
Hi Ghost, just add in source mode = Game is example: Skyrim and subject: Character, then you get both the category and the licence. Like I did now on the Northwatch Mage image. :) 09:02, February 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * The reason for that is I'm currently going through uncategorized images and from being almost 2000 I'm now down to about 750 :) 09:39, February 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Even though TombRaiser explained it to me I'm still a bit confused. Read here what she said. 11:50, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Mastrius
I'm sorry, I didn't know you were creating it. I'm sorry. 16:25, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, in that case, I really am sorry! :( Is there any way I can help? 16:37, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Map images
Well, not really but for Oblivion I have this size as it's hard to get any larger image of the map ingames. For Skyrim this map size. If you want the same size, save it to your computer. 17:30, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism Reporting
Hey Ghost Anubis, I just wanted to tell you that when you are reporting vandalism, you don't have to write "appears to have been vandalizing..." after the first bit. Just put |(The page's name)}} after the name of the vandalist and it should be good :). 15:41, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem, glad I could help. :). 16:01, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

Here :P

A farewell?
Hi Ghost, I saw your post on the reevaluation of staff thread and the last part of the message startled me, are you really leaving this wiki? If you do, this is just a farewell I'm advance, I enjoyed talking to you and you were a great chatmod. If I may ask, why are you leaving this wiki? ℳ.Ѻẘεᾔ.ℒℱC Say Hi! stalk edits 10:38, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Ghost
I saw your message on Tombs talkpage, please do not leave. I was trying to be nice to Ned but he didn't see what he was doing and then it escalated when I wasn't here. I also thought he was stalking but I wanted to be more soft in my approach first. I thought he understood but now in retrospect I realize he didn't. I hope he will restrain himself after the blocking period, otherwise.. 14:19, February 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw your messages and thought in urging you to stay. What happened with Ned happens very rarely, or doesn't happen at all. When it does, it irrevocably lasts for litte time, as you witnessed with Ned. I hope you reconsider staying. We could always use your additions. 21:03, February 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey Ghost, I would like to further add to the urge for you to remain on the wiki. Ned has been troublesome ever since he arrived on the wiki, much more so at the beginning than he is now. I would hope when he returns, as he did from his former ban, that he has learnt some lessons and will cease the disruptive activities he has been partaking in. The problem that has been Ned is a fixable one, and I urge you to stay with us. Over the relatively brief period you have been with us, your contributions to the wiki as a whole have been excellent, and I beg you to not let a small problem, like the one you have been having with Ned, drive you away from the wiki. 21:24, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Ned1230
Hey Ghost, I know it's frustrating having a user follow every edit you make. Wikihounding comes to mind when thinking about this, and it is a form of harassment. When Ned returns, he is to stop all of his hounding every users recent edits and start making productive edits (productive edits are not mass amounts of minor edits). He will get the chance to prove he has changed. I do hope you will stick around and continue to edit on the wiki.

On another note, there seems to be a little problem with the MorrowindNPCs template with the gender field. In the template itself the field for gender is capitalized, so in order for it to correctly display it needs to be capitalized in the infobox when it's added to an article. This is something that can be quickly fixed by a bot. I may just go ahead and make the change so that every field (minus the RefID and BaseID) are de-capped. That way we all can avoid pointless de-capping and capping of the gender field. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:00, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry you feel that way
Anubis, I saw your message on Tomb's talk page. I'm not trying to stalk you, and I've generally stopped editing the recent activity box for the reasons you stated; everyone seems to think I stalk them more than is comfortable with most. Anyway, most of the edits I fixed on your pages, I believe, was when you said 'a' before words beginning with vowels, which is actually incorrect. I will try to stop making edits to pages of everyone's, and especially yours, unless it's adding categories, fixing spelling, or any other info I see missing from them. It's nothing personal, and I just meant to review your pages. 01:27, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Mods
Hey Ghost, about our conversation on the chat, why couldn't I reload the un-modded save in that hypothetical senario? I was just curious. Thanks. I am Sylar (talk) 00:13, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Ban
Why was I banned. You better have a damn good reason. I am reporting you to an admin if I don't get a good answer in 2 minutes after I leave this.Hell ill report you anyway. Batrada (talk) 01:06, March 1, 2014 (UTC)Batrada

Batrada. You had been banned by me once. By I, Ketick1998. You are a disruptive User and, quite frankly, dont deserve to be on the Chat. — Profile/Talk 01:28, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re ESO images
Hi Ghost, it's Timeoin that usually upload images to use until better ones are provided. He has done this for e.g. Morrowind. Just upload a new version of the image, Captain Kaleen. There should as with the other games, not be any UI or dialogue in them. 09:28, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, don't know the console comands for Online. What I do or did before I knew any for the other games, was to edit the image doing cut outs of parts locking similar and pasting them over until I was satisfied and it looked fine. 09:52, March 1, 2014 (UTC)

Vivec, Foreign Quarter
Hi Ghost... nice to see that you can add to the Morrowind pages. But, there should not be any subpages, Tim created those long before it was decided that this was to be. So please merge the info on the subpages for Vivec, Foreign Quarter to this page. Like Foreign Quarter Lower Waistworks... 11:06, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, add info from all of the subpages and let me know when you have finished. I know it will be a longer article but one doesn't have to add so much, just in general really. And if there are any significant items.. you can see how I did on the Marandus article. It's not that large and there aren't any items really to find but I added each character to each sublocation. Work on it and I'll have a look now and then. 12:02, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it looks fine, even if the list of quests is long... :). I just uploaded a png image, maybe there was a glitch earlier, I had no trouble. I'm going to add something in the infobox that you can use later, it's a pop up script we add when a list of IDs or characters are long or when the location name is very long so it messes with the box. 09:54, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

Apology
Ghost,

I'm so sorry for unintentionally harassing you and making you want to leave. I never intended to hurt someone like you. You have made very good edits, and I even tried to nominate you for patroller recently. I got a bug up my butt about 'reviewing pages,' and now I regret this for many reasons. Please, don't leave, your absence would create a void. Everyone likes you, and you obviously love the Elder Scrolls. I hope you stay with us, it would be a great loss if you left the wiki forever.

I hope we can be friends from now on :)

16:07, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

I also forgot to say, is there any way I can repay you? Whatever it is, I'll do it. 16:14, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Italicize content
Ghost, use only  and  before and after, thats all you need to do. :) oh and I was wondering, do you mind if I try and edit your images you have uploaded on Morrowind. They are still a bit dark and yellow. ;) 13:58, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can add it on those, I did here, trial and error before I managed... anyway, this one File:Ulms Drathen.png was the same as yours before I fixed the colors.. :) 14:11, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * No, I'm using my graphics program. Paint Shop Pro or Corel as it's called now. There you can fade the colors and make corrections, you get images just as they where taken with normal light and the colors appear. 14:58, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks much better.. :) But if you are buying, Corel with PsP is much cheaper than Photoshop.. 19:32, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, you already have Photoshop. I thought you didnät have any program, that's why I suggested gimp... Well, I did just a few more to see how they would look but as you now have a good program you can redo the rest. What i do is I lighten the image first, then do a color fade correction, then another color correction, add vibrancy and then darken a little. And sharpen.. 06:43, March 11, 2014 (UTC)
