User talk:Deyvid Petteys

This is my talk page! If you made it here, you probably have a question. Questions are good, and I am good at answering them. Before posting your comments, concerns, and whatnot, please ensure that you:
 * Be civil - no need to start arguments. If you've come here to complain or berate other users, you know where the door is.
 * Check your grammar and spelling. Not too difficult. Just proofread.
 * Sign your posts using four tildes ( ~ ).
 * Leave your concerns at the very bottom of the page with a header. To create a header, encompass the topic word in two ='s on either side.
 * Check the guide and help pages. Your question may be easily answered there.
 * If I don't respond right away or within a few hours, check out the IRC. I'm probably there.

Category changes
Haven't talked to Jimeee about any of this, I'm just going off of what I saw posted on Veetor's Talk page. Are we still keeping the "Skyrim: Miscellaneous" category? Because some things can't be put in anything other than that, like Skulls for instance. Anything that will make less clutter is always a good thing, so I support these changes. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:32, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

The map of Skyrim
Hi, Deyvid!

Somewhy you didn't reply at my previous massage. But as only I saw, that you've archivated your talk page, I thought that you just didn't see it. So I'm writeing to you again :D

Wanted to say, that the map is crashed. Separately templates of the map work, but the last one (this) doesn't. I know that Jgjake2 has made the map but to some reason he is absent for more than a month. Is there any solvement of the problem? We've got the same map, but after MediaWiki was updated it stoped working (so as yours I think..).

I didn't know who is good coder on this wiki (except Elch but some minutes ago I saw that he's left the project :P), so I dicided to write to you as Timeoin is absent as well...

21:27, July 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Very hope that the map soon will be repaired, because it's the greatest thing that I've ever seen on Wikia. BTW, map's page when there's interactive map is like a navigator and the map's page with just the map is dump :P


 * Won't desturb you anymore now. Thanks for your reply :D

Care To Lend A Helping Hand?
I know you're probably busy, but if you could find the time, could you check out the Darkwater Crossing page? For some reason, the category link is appearing near the introductary paragraph, but I can't see it anywhere in Source mode. This issue seems to be tied to the SkyrimMines template. Is there any way you can fix this?

Khajiit bug
There currently is a bug on the PS3 (Patch 1.5) where the tails of Khajiits keep moving even when their owner is dead. The Bug page for Skyrim is currently locked and there is no "bug" section for the Kahjiit page. Should I just ignore from adding it to the wiki? User:BravoAlphaSix 21:59, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks for the explanation. User:BravoAlphaSix 23:07, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it was my Signature from the Fallout wiki, hence the power armor. I deleted it from my preferences, and hopefully nothing will explode or set me on fire. BravoAlphaSix 02:00, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Sanguine Vampirism
Your reverting all my changes my last one that was reverted was about the Sanguine Vampirism since i cant get any leverage in that area even when i refer someone to diseases for the full article in a non first person view please write something that tells people to go to diseases in Skyrim for the full article on the Bloodspring. I tried to write in a non first person view on the bloodspring if you revert it i don't know whats wrong with it. If you need to take it off or something rather than that edit it so something about the bloodspring is up and useful to people.

Bloodspring
Yes it is in Redwater Den if you drink the water you contract the disease along with 1 or more others except Lycanthropy. If you go to the back of the den the spring is there using it gives you Sanguine Vamparism.ForgedGhost (talk) 00:33, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Last Message for Now
Thank you for putting it there srry for the trouble if you need to edit the disease page there is somthing by me in there to. I will try to run things by you if its not existing on in the page if it is i will add what i can to it hopefully not to get taken off later.ForgedGhost (talk) 00:45, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Fort Dawnguard page
Greetings, We're baaack! We were going to edit the Bugs section on the Fort Dawnguard page, (the weapons rack is bugged and there are instances of 2nd person in the bugs section), but it is locked. Maybe you can help.Thanks.DarthOrc (talk) 03:54, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've moved the protection settings of Fort Dawnguard down. You should now be able to edit it. Good luck :) 07:59, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Trololololol, I give up. 08:00, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Fort Dawnguard edit request
We are not exactly sure how to do what you asked, but here goes: The weapons rack in the Master bedroom is bugged. Weapons placed on it on the right side cannot be removed. The notice appears: "Activate Weapons Rack". If activation is attempted, any equipped weapon, either two-handed or one handed in the right hand disappears. There is a clanging sound and a brief flickering image of the weapon next to the bed, but the weapon isn't there, either.
 * On another note, we changed an edit we made because the person who posted the Blog requested it. We couldn't remove it, so we turned it into a dot. We also removed a spamming message from our User Talk some time back. It was about a different game entirely, (League of Legends).DarthOrc (talk) 08:40, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello again, The addition to the Bugs section for Ft. Dawnguard still hasn't been entered as we requested.  The bugs still exist, on the XBox, after the latest patch, (1.7).  (The bedroom we are referencing to as the Master Bedroom is the vacant one upstairs with the mannikin.)DarthOrc (talk) 07:04, August 17, 2012 (UTC)

Handedness for Morrowind
Hey Deyvid. I just noticed you're using the Handedness article for the One-Handed references in Morrowind. I thought about doing that until I checked the Handedness article and saw that it was specific to Oblivion. Do we want to make an article to apply specific to Morrowind or shall we add Morrowind to the existing Handedness article? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 16:14, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll make that my project for the morning and see what I can do with it. :) GramsJ (talk) 16:26, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I have it covered. I renamed the original Handedness article to Handedness (Oblivion), created the Handedness disambiguation page, and created the Handedness (Morrowind) page. Let me know what you think. :) GramsJ (talk) 19:05, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * There should be only four pages that link to the Handedness page now, and I think all of those are redirect pages that should have now been replaced by the direct links to the correct Handedness articles (which means they can be deleted, I think, but I didn't want to mark them for deletion until you had a chance to double-check).
 * Also, I noticed while updating the links that there is a broken link to Thieves' Dagger on one page. When I checked it out, I discovered it is one of those pages that was deleted because it was one of those "random loot" pages. Would you want to recover that page, or just remove the link? Let me know. GramsJ (talk) 00:55, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Broken file links
Hey, thanks Deyvid! I was starting to slowly go insane seeing new "Pages with broken file links" popping up every single day! :) It's good to have that part sorted, now to get rid of the remaining ones. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:11, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Interactive Skyrim map
Thank you for letting me know about the broken maps. I fixed it immediately after i read your message, i just didn't get around to letting you know :P sorry about that. all i did was add a try-catch statement around a block of code that was breaking as a result of updated tag id's and classes. If you continue to have problems don't be afraid to let me know. My college schedule is crazy, but i will always be around to fix up my old code.

Thanks again,

Easter Eggs
I noticed that you deleted a lot of content from the 'Easter Eggs' page because of a comment on User_talk:Jimeee. I would like you to revert the bit about Pumpkin or unlock the page so i can re-add it for if you click the link i just created, you will notice that it is not fabrication. Personally, i have encountered Pumpkin in the location mentioned.

P.S. Sorry, for some reason my whole first sentence became a link to Jimeee's page.

Hi Deyvid. I found several links on the Quests (Skyrim) page that link to disambiguation pages. I'd be happy to fix them if you'd unlock the page for me. :) Thanks. Oh, and did you get a chance to check on whether you can recover the Thieves' Dagger article? Thanks again. GramsJ (talk) 17:03, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just thought I'd let you know that the Quests (Skyrim) page has been taken care of and locked again, so there's nothing there for you to do. I'd just like to know about the Thieves' Dagger article. Thanks --GramsJ (talk) 02:40, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

Bloodraven is relevant?
Hey, I just want to say I appreciate your including/ informing (mostly informing since I had no clue about any of this) me in the nominations for staff posts and the bug flagging deal. I doubt I will contribute much (I'll leave that to better minds and more dedicated souls than myself). Still, I appreciate being kept up to date with such things, even if I'm not entirely sure why I was informed (it's not like I'm really staff or anything is it?). Even more so, I appreciate you naming me as a friend in the message. I'm not sure that you really mean that, but either way, in the few months I've been here I feel like I have made some friends, and you guys have pulled me through some dark times. For that I cannot thank you enough.

Hey, thanks for editing that page, wanted to bring to your attention that the link to Hold Guard (Skyrim) is broken. Might be easier if the plural form could redirect to that page.

From One Bureaucrat To Another
Heya, me again, The Milkman. I'm bureaucrat of Brütal Legend Wiki, and I was hoping you could help me with something, or at least point me in the direction of someone who can. I was hoping to get the pretty, colourful links you have for different admins here. I was wondering how I could get that over on my home wiki.

Also, is there a way to make someone a patroller? Or is that just the same as Rollbcack rights?

Clearing Items Lists
Hi Deyvid. I've been working on Veetor's list, but I think I'm going to need help tracking down where some of the categories are coming from (but I'll get back to those later). Right now I'm working on the Items category--specifically for Morrowind. Since the MorrowindItems infobox is the source of the Item category on all of those pages, I've been working on changing the infobox on the pages. I'm down to 9 pages left, 7 of which could be categorized as "Tools" or put in an "Apparatus" category (neither of which exist for any game). The other two are miscellaneous items (Fake Soul Gem and Dwarven Bone). How would you like these handled? Thanks --GramsJ (talk) 00:31, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

TESWiki maintenance:

 * There are 5 articles left on this category page. Two of them are locked, and the other three are user pages. The category on the pages has been changed successfully to Maintenance, but they are still listed on the Category:TESWiki maintenance page. I think you may need to handle these. GramsJ (talk) 05:31, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
It's 4am and I'm feeling slightly too tired for conscious though :P 02:54, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Considering those edits were from 5 months ago, I'm not sure we can say it's the same person using that IP address. It's possible, but so is the opposite. I did check contribs and due to the fact it seemed particularly destructive, and that all other edits were so far back I just went ahead with it. 03:00, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * *shrug* Who knows?
 * Yeah, that's a valid point. Hopefully nothing like that's going to come up too much, though. I'll be off to be now, anyway. Have fun with your cheese! 03:05, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Blog Captions
I usually remove the thumb part. Does the caption not show up for you when you move the cursor over it?

--The Milkman | I always deliver. 03:41, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, nah. Thanks for the heads-up though! I use this meathod on all the wikis I administrate/adopted as well as my blogs. Personally, I think it has a better aesthetic quality, with the only real drawback being you can't use links in the caption.

RE: Vampire Lord
I know this is consider as speculation but just look at both of them...They are exacly the same. Same nose, ear, skin, wings. I'm more than sure about it. I will ask Bethesda, they will probably not respond to me but who cares, i think it's a good information to add and i intend to put the light on this. Philgo95 (talk) 04:37, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Anyway, i sent an email to Bethesda, we will see if they respond me or not, so they might answer me or not. I will give a check on those pages who need attention later. And by the way, just to let you know that i'm not spending my time on some sort of ressearch to find some "Easter Eggs" and i can say that i've clearly made my part on this wikia, especially on the Dawnguard stuff who, i am almost aware of every edits made on Dawnguard stuff as there is a lot of pages i'm following. I was not really on the wikia for the last 3-4 weeks as there was not a lot of edits on those page who are mostly done. Philgo95 (talk) 04:59, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
Hey Deyvid. The Category:Disambiguation pages change is done with the exception of Dragons, which is locked, so I guess it's in your hands, now. GramsJ (talk) 21:50, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Category update question
I've noticed that many of the category name changes involve actually changing the category name in a template that gets placed on the article (such as the template). I've also noticed that when the category is changed in the template, the category may be changed on the article where it is placed, but the article still resides on the page for the old category name. It doesn't move to the new category page until after I "edit" the article (meaning, I open it, select scribe, put something in the summary, and publish the article). Then when the category pages are updated, the article will show up where it's supposed to. Is there a way to force this update without having to re-publish each article individually? Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 00:58, August 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Regarding the Candidates for speedy deletion category: I took care of as many of the hard links to the category as I could. Two of them on talk pages I couldn't find. The third is on a protected page, so, again, I leave it to you. :) GramsJ (talk) 05:47, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * The only file that remains in the Images with unknown copyright status and Images with unknown source categories is a protected file. If you want to unprotect that one, I can take care of it, or you can take care of it -- either way. Then those categories can be deleted. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 17:11, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * :) One more time...I think I've done about as much damage to Veetor's list as I can do without admin rights. The last 3 on the long list involve locked pages and/or pages that I'm unsure how to handle (the blogs). There are quite a few User page hard links to the policies and guidelines and help pages that I couldn't edit because they are "locked," as well. I ran DwemerBot on the pages it could handle, but there are still some left for the reasons I just mentioned. So I guess I'm done for now. Let me know when you have some more. GramsJ (talk) 00:05, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * If you want to give DB temporary sysop rights, I'm willing to do what I can to finish up that list and let you know how it goes. GramsJ (talk) 03:53, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am honored! Please be assured I will not intentionally do anything to break that trust. GramsJ (talk) 04:06, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you've noticed, but since I finished my chemo a week ago, I have been on IRC more. Though, mostly, not a lot's been going on when I'm there. I'm pretty much done with the sysop stuff on DB unless you have more for me to do. I only have a couple of questions: First, when I started to make the category for Category Templates, I got the message that I was trying to create a page that was deleted by you on July 31. So I left that until I could ask you about it. Second, I can't seem to move several articles on the Template documentation category page. I tried with DB in sysop mode, as well. So if I don't need sysop rights to finish those things up, you can turn them off now. Thanks a lot for the temporary use of them. GramsJ (talk) 19:11, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

The Milkman's critique of Skyrim: How can we get Bethesda to read?
Hey there! I know this is an unusual request, but is there a way we can ask Bethesda to read Skyrim's Smorgasbord of Shortcomings by The Milkman?

While I feel that Bethesda IS a company who listens to their fans and their critics, I feel that all anyone ever criticises Skyrim for are the bugs and glitches. Even Yahtzee in his Zero Punctuation critiques (which are infamous for being extremely harsh and downright nasty) only really complains about the bugs and glitches... bugs and glitches are only one problem out of MANY which are addressed in detail in the aforementioned blog.

I LOVE Skyrim, but these criticisms are just not being voiced and I am concerned that this trend will hold back future titles...

Does Bethesda have an account? Is there some way of contacting the relevant people at Bethesda?

Since You Don't PM, Thought I Would Post it Here
Refering to your earlier question about how I manage to edit on two wikias: I've been trying to keep it balanced, I'm always in both chats and watching both wikiactivity pages (btw the CVN is really cool), and I've been trying to switch off which wikia I edit. Recently though, I've been more focused here because (no offense) it's pretty unorganized, which makes sense because it is very large. I expect to start alternating more soon, I've just been pretty busy with school recently, so I haven't had time to edit both wikias much.

Armor categories
Headgear, Handwear, Footwear, Legwear, Pauldrons, Cuirasses, and Shields sound good. Boots, gauntlets and all that are too specific for this. As for the pauldrons, I say just put them in the same category, separating them into left and right is too much. As for the IRC, what's wrong with it? Its been fine for me all day.

PC Mod data in main articles
I guess I'm not looking in the right spot to find the answer to this question or something, cause I'm sure it's come up before, but through my browsing of pages I've managed to run across several that have data related to user mods for the PC version, despite the fact that said pages are articles about things in the main game. That sort of info seems really iffy and, if I had to hazard a guess, is something you guys really don't want to see on here, but I am just enough unsure of that I felt I should ask before deleting it all willy-nilly.
