==Draugr: New Pages and a Table==

Hey, I'm a big contributor to the Elder Scrolls Wiki (Or at least I try to be) and I noticed that most Draugr subtypes do not have their own page. I would like to ask you if I could work on getting up a few more Draugr pages and possibly a table of contents relating to all Draugr subtypes. If you get this, could you please post your response on my talk page?

Thank you, SpinalWhisper21 (talk) 18:30, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Question and Revisit of Category Names
Hiya, my main focus while making wiki page edits is Skyrim. I've not played Oblivion (yet), and it's been a long while since I played Morrowind. I recently made some changes to the Dagger page. It didn't occur to me until I was finished that the page was most likely an Oblivion Dagger page (since it included a dagger that does not exist in Skyrim). Now I have several questions: 1) Should I roll back the page to what it was before I changed it, put my changes on a Daggers (Skyrim) page, and create a disambiguation page? 2) When adding categories to pages, what is the preferred form to use ( i.e., Skyrim:Category Name, Category Name (Skyrim), or just Category Name)? I ask because right now all three forms exist on the Category pages, and I don't want to continue using a form that will need to be changed in the future. Thank you for your input.

Hello Timeoin

I am not sure who is incharge but you appear to be an important figure so I am asking you. I am having issues with infoboxes. I am unable to put merge pictures with them. Could you do it for me so that I may learn? The page is Oghash gra-Magul. Sorry for imposing but I am new.

hey i was mainly wondering how to contact someone on the wiki. so long story short, my friends made a user page but has not edited or anything yet so i dont exactly know how to contact him. all i do know is that the username starts with "moondragon". thanks

Quick question that you may be able to fix yourself:

I'm not sure how to recommend that two pages be merged, but these two should:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Argonian_Account,_Book_3

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Argonian_Account,_Book_III

I believe the second one to be more correct.

Thank you! Alfrun (talk) 22:45, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

hey this is ryusenka16. i was asking about finding my friend who used moondragon as part of their username but forgot to sign it. soooo do you know how i can find him(no i cant go to his house because he lives halfway across michigan. thanks!!!!!Ryusenka16 (talk) 21:05, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hey man, just wondering in Diplomatic Immunity, how are you supposed to retrieve your gear off Delphine? I'm currently standing in her room and she doesn't seem to be able to help me?? Cheers man


 * Since you are playing it on a PC (well, Mac or Mac for Windows or something), I would load back before doing the quest, offload the excess items into your home (e.g. Breezehome) and then go speak to Delphine. (Unfortunately, this seems like the only solution. The game will probably run into more bugs than normal due to conflicting operating systems, unfortunately. Before doing thatt hough, try saving, quitting the game and reloading it. Sometimes that fixes wierd bugs like that. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:24, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * On a related note, can somone create a catagorey for Light armor and heavy armor? It would be useful when trying to find certain items, say If I wanted a unqiue light armor, I could look at the ones that are both under Unique Armor, and Light armor.

Advertising
Just a heads up. This IP 85.26.71.201 has been placing advertisments to another website (http://skyrimdatabase.eu) on a few of the pages. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess this is not allowed. The one at Console Commands (Skyrim) where they stuck it near the top of the page is just insulting. --PacifistFist (talk) 05:39, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, this is a user that you temp banned a while ago for editing the page on Ancient Dragons. Just wanted to let you know that I was right, and should not have been temp banned. If you had actually assumed good faith and given me a warning, I would have explained to you the situation. But, since you temp bannned me, I wasn't able to leave you this message till now. Just though you should know ;) 75.173.209.131 05:54, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Since you hijacked my thread (and you've caught my interest), I just checked the history of that page to see what all this drama is. The first thing you did upon being unbanned was revert the changes of the last editor (who left detailed, comprehensible, logical notes)... I would like to shake your hand sir or madam and offer you my warmest congratulations, for you are truly a unique snowflake. --PacifistFist (talk) 06:10, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

i have one last question that could help this an dother wikis... is i possible to take screenshots if playing a PS3 if you do not have a computer? and if you do have a computer (mine cannot play any type of CD since its a "mini") how would you go about taking screenshots that dont show the area outside the game(bedroom)thanks!!!!Ryusenka16 (talk) 16:31, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

thanks for the help!!Ryusenka16 (talk) 17:26, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

I'm baack
Hey Timeoin!

It's been a while, I know, but in the time since we've actually talked, I've gotten a brand-new computer. Unfortunately, I didn't get Skyrim for it (I prematurely bought it for my xbox), but at least it runs Oblivion flawlessly. Since I can now take screenshots, I'll be doing so, and editing will become a lot more frequent on my part. If you need a picture for anything in Oblivion, just let me know!

Basically, just dropping in to say hi!

FreindO1 (talk) 05:29, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I am having a problem. I have Skyrim for the xbox 360, and there is a glitch with one of the people in Whiterun. Farkas, a Companion repeatedly follows me around Jorkasvr (or whatever the Companion's place is), talking to me. He keeps stopping me and making my camera focus on me when I am not even looking at him. He chases me around the building and won't stop. It is really annoying when you are trying to talk to other people. Do you know how to fix this? I ask you because you have made many, many edits and seem to know a lot about the Elder Scrolls games. Thanks,

A problem concerning weapon damage values
Looking through the Skyrim pages, the values on a lot of the weapons don't match up to the base damage upon first starting the game without taking perks. And on top of that, after trying to correct a value that I know for sure on the Steel Mace page, it was promptly changed to a bad value again. Is there anyway to double check without having to make a file without taking damage modifying perks? Message 12:25, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Morrowind (Weapons)
You're asking my opinion?! :) I though I was the one who asked you questions? Anyway, it sounds good to me. Enchanting doesn't even exist in Morrowind, right? I don't know; I haven't played it in seven years or so. Lol. Go right on ahead. As long as the items are mostly unique (i.e. not randomized dungeon loot with level-based enchantments) then go right on ahead. I think it'll be worth while. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   05:51, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a question for you, though, while we're here. I just edited Legate, as you saw, and I noticed that with Jarls, we've been removing Jarl from the article name, and keeping just the person's "christian" (Talos?) name. Given that convention, should I change the Legates to fit this? For instance, moving Legate Rikke to Rikke? And so forth. I know we should probably do the same for the Counts and Countesses of Cyrodiil, since there seems to be no real convention set up for that. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   05:55, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I moved the Counts/Countesses over to their normal names (minus the title) for now. I noticed that every single Jarl was moved so that Jarl didn't appear in their name, although I'm sure all of them appear with the word in their name in game. Wow, that sounded confusing. For instance Jarl Balgruuf the Greater - his in-game name is exactly that, but it was moved to Balgruuf the Greater. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   06:21, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Farkas
I am trying to do the quest he wants me to go on, but he accompanies me. The whole time I am trying to beat the mission and kill the Silver Hand warriors, he keeps interrupting me and talking to me. He keeps getting me killed. He is acting like I am clicking on him, but I am not even looking at him.

Pages I've Created
Hey, Tim, I've a favor to ask of you if you have any spare time. Would you kindly look at the pages I've created as I need some critique on my creations to see if they're up to an Admin's "standards". Thanks.

Sincerely, Tim to the Adams (talk) 01:04, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. I came to you for the pure reason that we share the same name :o.

Side note they're on my user page.

Also
That IRC link is a bit weird (It leads me to a login page even though I've never signed up) and I plan on adding descriptions to the pages I make in due time. Sincerely,  Tim to the Adams (talk) 01:34, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Armor template
I know it's taboo to edit someone else's userpages, but I figured it was constructive enough to excuse the impropriety. I agree that the second template covers more information, especially information exclusive to Morrowind. We could easily add those parameters to the first template, but like you said, they wouldn't collapse if they were omitted. Guess we'll have to talk to Jimeee next time he's on and see if he can get it working, since he created the original template. The first template is good because it keeps with the Skyrim infoboxes, but personally, I think all the infoboxes should have the same layout, and the second one matches the layout off all the location, npc, and other infoboxes on the wiki, so...go with that one. Also, we'll need to set up a preload for it, once you've put on the finishing touches. :) --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   05:24, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Template
So to clarify you want just the enchantments row collapsable? but the rest the same? Hmmm, I must admit I'm not an expert with wikia templates and I have never coded anything like that. Not sure if you can apply a seperate class to just 1 row in a table. Jimeee (talk) 13:44, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

In need of guidance
I could use some help deciding what to do about a situation I've found myself in recently. I was curating the Smithing page when I found a link to an external video in the text under one of the notes and tips. My first instinct was to remove it since it was an external link in the article itself, which on other wikis I've edited is against the generally accepted guidelines. I checked the guidelines here and they say its fine to link videos in that fashion as long as it meets specific criteria, which the video did seem to. However, the video seemed very unnecessary, explaining a very simple process that the text conveyed completely on its own (in this case how to forge more than one iron dagger by hitting craft and confirm over and over). Furthermore after I checked the edit logs I found the user name that made the edit to add the video, one User:NotCasuals, is the same as the one for the YouTube account the video was hosted by. Seems like self-promotion to me, another big no-no on other wikis I've edited. After checking the users contribution log, Special:Contributions/NotCasuals, I found that many of this user's edits were of the same nature: adding links to youtube videos hosted on a youtube account of the same name. I'm not sure what to do about it though, again the videos I've seen (haven't seen them all because there are so many) seem to meet the three bullet criteria for acceptable videos listed on this wiki's policies and guidelines but at the same time the self-promotion really rubs me the wrong way and I want to remove every link posted article by article. What do you suggest?Tetracycloide (talk) 17:37, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

User Jimeee
I need to you to speak with this user and ask him to stop harassing me. He found my page today and decided to insert himself in an exchange I had with a user last month--one that was long dead and had ended with an apology on my part. I admit I'm not the nicest person, but I did offer an apology to the other user and had adjusted my approach in speaking with other editors. However Jimeee took it upon himself to instigate by getting in my face over the issue today, and has inflamed the situation further, doing far more harm than good. I'd appreciate you having a word with him. Winnersusedrugs (talk) 21:19, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * The proof is all over your page. Crying to Timeoin certainly won't help your case here. You should have considered that before you berated a new user on this wiki for trying to help. The exchange with SzLevente was not 'last month', it was January 4th. Less than a week ago - I just hope he hasn't been scared off. A half hearted apology doesn't cut it.
 * Also, calling you out on your attitude isn't considered 'harassment' among normal folk. Jimeee (talk) 21:31, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Youtube
Yea... we're gonna change youtube accounts and stuff, and we need a new email and TESWiki@gmail.com was taken (is that you?) just letting you know :) and if it is you can we use your email?

Scrawled Page image and template
Heya Tim. I realized after I posted the Scrawled Page image that the template I used didn't look right. It's late now, so I'll fix it in the morning to the right one (I think). That's the template I got when I typed in "Template:Books." I guess I'm still confused regarding how I get the right template for posting new infoboxes and wiki pages. Any help in that regard would be wonderful. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 07:25, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Uploading issue
Hello, Timeoin!

Sorry for bothering you again, but there is an issue I've faced and have no idea how to solve. As I mentioned before, I don't really have any goals, I am going though the books and adding lore pages mostly, but just recently I got a sudden urge to replay the game. However this time I make notes of everything, so I can add to the wiki, and I noticed that Riverwood sublocation didn't have images and weren't organized properly. I did what I could to fix that, but upon my attempt to upload screenshots I got this message: "File extension does not match MIME type." It was a proper file, any ideas how to fix that?

Thank you for your time,

Ikabite. 19:48, January 12, 2012 (GMT+2)

Hello,

I've been try to add some Youtube clips to certain pages (smithing and dragon priests in particular) but you have removed them. Can I just ask why? The videos are relevant to the topic and i believe that they would help people who are trying to improve their smithing skill or find all the dragon priest masks.

Thanks,
