Ned1230
Hi Zipper. I saw your message on Ned1230's talk page about him deleting his talk page messages, and I just wanted to tell you that he is in fact moving them straight into his archive. Doing what he is doing is albeit a bit weird, but he is allowed to do it. 18:52, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, he is not literally allowed to do it. Messages should remain on one's wall until they reach the amount of forty, which is considered suitable for archiving. 18:56, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. I forgot to add them. Thanks for reminding me! AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 16:43, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

ESO Question
Quick question: are we now allowed to talk about what we've learned from the Beta (i.e starting areas and similar beginning content), or is it still considered verbotten? Cause I've watched a lot of you videos from ShoddyCast and AngryJoeShow and learned some interesting things that I'm sure will interest and likely anger the Wiki.  DRAEVAN13  16:58, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I learned a fact that's probably going to make a LOT of Elder Scrolls fans stop playing early in the game: you know how in the single-player titles once you were done the tutorial, the entire world opens up and you can go and do whatever you please? Not so in ESO. Once you escape Coldharbour, you go to an in-escapable starting island which you can only leave after about an hour of questing (if you only focus on the main quest). You'd think after that'd you'd be done, right? All MMOs have such a starting island/area, so one is understandable. Nope. After you escape the first starting island, you have A SECOND inescapable starting island, one which requires two-three hours of questing to escape. Only after that do you have the freedom to go do whatever you want like in the single-player titles.


 * Also, the Dominion seems to have an advantage over the other 2 factions which might imbalance the factions. Their starting islands are apparently smaller and more compact, allowing players to level up much faster than Covenant or Pact players.


 * Though the PvP apparently makes up for a lot of flaws with some EPIC sieges. You should go watch Angry Joe's PvP review, it looks amazing.  DRAEVAN13 17:21, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Incorrect page name
Hi Zipper, you can rename the page yourself. Under the edit button you'll find rename and as it only links to that book Notebook of Helfar Ice-Mane and my page, change the link so you don't need to add a redirect. And Zipper, when italicizing the text just use  and  at the beginning and the end of the text. :) 07:18, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Books and Threads
I've read the books, and nowhere does it say that the Empire is a dictatorship with no freedom of expression. As to the floating city with chefs, that's not a city in Skyrim, it's a city from Clavicus Vile's realm of Oblivion. Have you read them?

As for the threads, I've tried on Chrome, Firefox and Explorer and it does the same on all of them. F5 doesn't seem to fix it.  DRAEVAN13  21:18, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I may have been wrong about that. I re-read the book last week and it's never mentioned why Agent Colin kills the man at the beginning of the novel. Also, what do you mean by "Or that there's so city floating in the Skyrim with chefs in it?" Because... that sentence doesn't make sense :P I have a PC, both at work and at home, so no Safari for me. It seems that the threads "reset" when the computer's turned off then back on, so I can still read the threads, it's just a bit of a pain.  DRAEVAN13  21:31, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, I would suggest you read the books before you make a blog saying they aren't cannon. You can find them online, I'm sure, both free and payable.  DRAEVAN13  21:32, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest that. Plus, they're pretty good books. I know for a fact Infernal City is available on Google Books. Not sure about Lord of Souls, though.  DRAEVAN13 21:55, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

RP disagreement
A slight problem has occured on this new thread. Maybe you can solve it. Here is the link to the thread: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:559253

Chat
Is Chat down? I have tried to get on it but I can't communicate with anyone when using it. Zu&#39;u lost daal. Alduin1996 (talk) 23:07, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism In Progress
Hey Zipper, just wanted to tell you that when reporting a vandal on the VIP page, all you have to put in is CVU|Username|Pagename with –  on the ends. I saw you've been writing after the template "vandalized this page and this page." which you don't have to do. Happy Editing :). 13:53, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Hey Ghost
Thank you Zipper, I appreciate that. I do what I can, & I try to help out :P You should hop on chat when you can, I want to talk to you about something. Ghost Anubis (talk) 00:04, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Brynjolf a Daedric Worshipper?
Where is there any indication that Brynjolf is a Daedric worshipper? There's nothing in the article. If there is, I think we need a source, because there's nothing in the game.Cubears (talk) 04:53, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

The Re-evaluation
Hey Zipper, do you think an Admin should be asked to highlight those threads? I mean, the more people who vote the better, right? 20:22, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Bow (Online)
Hey, Zipper, I just wanted to let you know that removing words that do not need to be essentially removed is considered badgehunting by most, and I am saying this out of personal experience. Removing single words, such as 'line' from articles are not regarded as productive edits. 00:18, February 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Zipper, please just take my advice on editing pages like that.  It makes people feel stupid when it's not needed, and the sentence was just fine before you did that. I've been scolded by such users as Flugsmith for the for the type of edit you did. Also, part of being a good editor, as I've been told by my dad, who's a professional editor, after my conflicts with everyone, is only fixing mistakes, such as grammar, yet still make people feel like they wrote it.  It's always good to keep good relations with everybody; so far it's put me in the dump.01:32, February 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually, the word 'line' does belong there, as there are numerous sub-skills associated with it.  Just look at most of the other pages for skills in TESO and you'll see same thing because, quite simply, it makes sense. - Erik the Mad (talk) 16:40, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re: About the Forum...
Hi,

I do agree for your opposition on my re-evaluation, though. I have been inactive for a while, whether it be six months or three. The only thing that bothered me was that you stretched the number a bit more than I found fair. I don't plan on coming back soon, however, so I don't expect you to change your vote.

Thank you for the apology :) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:04, February 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think such a process for patrollers is described here. Though it is not on the TES:A page, I have always assumed that a similar (if not exactly alike) process would apply for admins requesting to be marked as active again. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:12, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Categories
Yep, Category:Skyrim: Females is the category. (Skyrim: Female - no.) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 05:54, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Royalty category
Zipper, are you adding the Royalty category to Jarls because of the Elisif article? She is considered royalty because she is the High King's widow. The other Jarls don't fit. 21:48, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, were great lords in the medieval times considered royal? The Jarls don't have that much people under their rule, so I don't think they should be regarded as royalty. 21:56, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with Sky, Zipper. Jarls aren't Royalty. Lords today are not considered Royalty in England. 21:58, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * The great families in GoT aren't royalty either. Only the King and his family are considered royal, both in the show and the books. 22:02, February 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, I won't do it anymore. I don't know why Jarls being considered Royalty is so Taboo though. But I don't want to fight against every editor just to put that category there, so consider this done. :) I am Sylar (talk) 22:04, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the others have explained exactly why it was removed. I was leaving work and didnt have time to talkpage you. In any case, it clear the Jarls and their families are in no way royalty. At best they are Aristocracy. I cleaned out the Royalty categoty a while back because it was full of junk. Technically it should only contain lore characters. Also, i'll ask you to next time wait for a response before reverting my edits - I reverted your edits for a good reason, and yes I probably should have talkpaged you, but always assume good faith. Also I suggest you look over our guidelines again before adding and additional categories to pages.Jimeee (talk) 23:58, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Mod Wiki Bid
I would LOVE that. Zipper. I love the Mods wiki and I don't want to see it die like other Wikis. Also the Zombie Headquaters Wiki is in a right old state. I think I am the only person using that wiki. I have Admin rights on that one but it is really hard to do anything when the Wiki is on a small mobile game I have contacted him but he has not got back to me yet. . Zu&#39;u lost daal.

Description section not part of Location standard
Zipper, I noticed you added a Description section to Mzinchaleft. The problem is that the Location article standard (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Style_and_formatting/Locations) does not have a Description section. It shows that any descriptive information needs to just go in the article lead (like it was before). Can you undo that, or do you want me to? Cubears (talk) 17:32, February 22, 2014 (UTC)
