The Dainty Sload
Since I saw you around, I thought I'd ask you to check the Dainty Sload. I tried to make things as 3rd person as possible there. The bugs section seems pretty loaded. If you're not able to, I'll try to simplify it when I have time. It looks like there could be some redundancy there.

my page
Hey, i made that dragon priest page- its not about dragon priests, just that particular dragon priest. I had enough info on that particular one, not the entire dov cult. it was not about dov priests.

Ayyoob67 (talk) 23:56, May 2, 2012 (UTC)Ayyoob67

I didn't think that dragon priest/draugr is really notable to have its own page. The page also did not link to any other pages, which created an orphan page. When creating new pages, please ensure that it is linked up to another page. You can re-create the page again if you wish, but please ensure it is properly linked to another related page. Otherwise, it will have to be deleted again. Thanks. 00:04, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Tone
Thanks! I tried to find another article with that template, but I couldn't find it. I tried to use the next best thing by looking at the templates page.

Re: Just a reminder
Im not adding the image needed template. If i keep the template it also adds the article to the basic "image needed" Category, and since im helping removing articles form there the template is something i have been forced to remove since it keeps the article in the "image needed" category.

Also, did the Wiki log you out a minute or so ago, it kicked me out and i didn't get credit for a few edits, im not sure what happened since that never happened to me before.

happy editing (Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:37, May 5, 2012 (UTC))

I didn't mean that you are adding the template. See your Talk page for what my response was in regards too. Thanks 15:26, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, i understand, thanks for clearing that up.

Vandalism
After performing an edit on a page and clicking Publish a message popped up telling me my previous edit was marked as Vandalism and it said to contact an administrator if it was a mistake. I was working on the Cyrodiil page adding links in under Politics. I'm not sure what I did that was considered wrong. If you could clear things up for me I would appreciate it very much. Thanks ChampionofCyrodiil (talk) 23:14, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check with him.ChampionofCyrodiil (talk) 02:38, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hert
Hey there TombRaiser, I was editing a page (Hert) and when moving some things around I had not noticed I deleted the infobox, I however did have it in a copy format and tried to repaste it on another edit, but the website is not allowing me to post edits, and now I have several notices on my abuse log from attempting to fix my error.

What should I do? CyberDemiGod (talk) 04:00, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned on the Hert's Talk page, the filter thinks you didn't use both spoiler tags. I notice this happens when source mode is used to edit pages with spoiler tags. Try your edit in the Visual Editor. 03:55, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
I didn't notice the reply on the talk page, just got it though, thanks again.

I accidently deleted the wrong template in visual edit, but yeah I did try to save it in source edit. I'll keep that in mind when working with spoiler templates, thanks for the tip!

I'll reapplied my edit using only visual editor and it worked.

Sorry for the trouble :p

CyberDemiGod (talk) 04:05, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's no trouble. Glad it's working for you now. :) 04:15, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Proper names
Hi TombRaiser. Thanks for the heads up. I've been using the race as it's listed in the Construction Set. Do we have a published list of formal names versus informal names that I can refer to so I can be sure to record them correctly in the future? I apologize for being unaware of that change. I find it difficult to be on IRC right now, as I tend to drift off to sleep a lot, and I'm just under half-way through chemo. :-/ GramsJ (talk) 00:42, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Templates
Thanks for letting me know about the templates, ill make sure they are added to there articles.

and since you brought up categories, Should i also work on the "stub" categories? there are times an article will have three or four stubs on it and while this is useful if somebody is badge-hunting its insane to have that many on an article.

Hope all is good Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:21, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

P.S There is no stub category for Skyrim articles

Stub reply
Thanks for explaining the stubs and how they should be handled, it will help alot

Happy editing

Greaves
While Brusef Amelion's Greaves exist, perhaps, as a singular item, the word greaves is the plural of greave, which is a protection for one the lower legs. One uses two greaves to protect both legs; saying "greaves is an armor" is equivalent to saying "my shins is hurting".

ManlikeCrawdad (talk) 01:01, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Haha, okay. I understand what you're saying. The way it read to me was: "This are Brusef Amelion's Greaves" instead of "This is Brusef Amelion's Greaves". Because in the game, you don't receive it separately. 01:12, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Right. It does get confusing; I had to check a few dictionaries to make sure "greaves" wasn't some bizarre exception to the rule. It isn't. Like gloves, gauntlets, and pants, the word "greaves" is plural, even though what the word refers to may be a single unit in the game.

RE:Facebook
Got your message! Looks like I just missed ya! Since you're basically the only active admin (I'm only semi-inactive at the moment), I think it's definitely a good idea to nominate Jimeee. Go ahead and post your nomination in the forum, I'll vote for him. I've been trying to convince him to be an admin for a long time now. Glad he's finally coming around :D. Just let me know when you post it, I'll vote for him. However, since most people aren't likely to become magically active within the next few weeks, it's doubtful the vote will be "fair". That only supports the notion that we need more admins at the moment, any way. -- 01:51, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Posted! ...and it's good to see you, Deyvid! ;) 01:58, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

New category for Morrowind
Hi Tombraiser. I'm in the process of creating a Morrowind character page. When I do this, I normally include the information from the items and spells tabs in the CK. This character has a large number of spells, most of which do not have pages to link to. This sent me looking for the Morrowind: Spells category. Needless to say, I didn't find it. I would normally ask Deyvid, but since he has been on less often, I haven't heard from him as readily. If acceptable, I was thinking of creating the Morrowind: Spells category, then start working on creating pages for all of the red links I'm putting on this character page. What do you think? Assuming I do this, what would you suggest I use for an image for the spells? No model is given in the CK. I apologize for the "tome," but I wanted to make sure what I'm doing is clear. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 18:57, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ooops, I guess it would help if I spelled it correctly (I just fixed it in the message above). So I guess I'll work on an Infobox Template for MorrowindSpells first, then tackle the spells. Do you know who is working on the Spells (Morrowind) page? For some reason, I can't get to the history page to find out. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 19:31, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. Don't worry about the delay. I figured it was lunchtime, so I went ahead and worked on the template for MorrowindSpells. GramsJ (talk) 22:08, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Console comand
What is the "console comand" category for.

im asking because i saw you removed that category so im assuming i was wrong in puting it where i did.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:24, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * That category is used for pages that have a list of console commands. See Console Commands for pages listed. 02:27, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi Tombraiser, thank you for taking care of all those files I marked for deletion. I'm sure there are probably more, but those are just the ones that stood out as I was wandering through the images looking for somthing that would fit an idea I had. GramsJ (talk) 21:35, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Page lock
Hey, TombRaiser, I was wondering could you lock my page? Hybrid(Skyrim)

Online Races
Since the Wiki said you had at one point deleted the nords online article, i feel i should let you know i started it back up. I made it look the same as the other races and added the MMO template. i also started a few of the other races in the same manner.

I tried to do this as by the book as possible, and if i messed it up i wish to apologize in advance.

Happy Editing Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:08, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

That's fine. I deleted it at the time because it contained hardly any information. I'm just going through them proofreading and such. 06:11, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for giving you all that extra work, I did the first 3 online races (argonian, Redguard, and dunmer (couldn't sleep and noticed it on wanted page), so sorry for the time I wasted for you Mask2697 (talk) 06:17, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for wasting my time, Mask! Heh, just kidding! I'm just getting a few more edits in before I head off to sleep. Don't worry about the extra work though, I had planned to work on those pages eventually anyways. 06:22, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Dead Crew members
while working on the image needed category (over half way done BTW), I came across an article for the Dead Crewmember's found in serpents wake. the dead crew members represent three races, and i dont know if i should put them on there races category or leave them out.

to be on the safe side i wont add them for now, but i would like to know how to handle these kind of articles if i ever see one again.

Hope all is good Cheatcodechamp (talk) 00:10, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Good job getting halfway through those image needed tags! I think it's okay to add Oblivion: Argonians, Oblivion: Bosmer, and Oblivion: Bretons. I suppose if someone manages to come up with individual images of the dead crewmembers, then a gallery could be created later on too. 00:27, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Oblivion Spell tomes
im sorry to bug you again (i have been trying to keep it once per day) but i just found something that may need a new template or Category.

The Spell Tomes (Oblivion DLC),since they are a Mix of spell and book, dont have a template that can hold all there basic info. Right now most of the existing tome articles have been marked as books, but this doesn't let the editor add the spells info onto the template. and if there marked as spells the problem is only reversed.

the spell tomes as a whole need work, there where about 60 tomes that had unique spells and most don't have articles.

Is there a way to make it, at the very least, easier to organize the spell tomes so people can find them?

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:43, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, ill make sure the template gets added to the Spell tomes ASAP Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:12, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Blade of the Rift
Hey TombrRaiser,

So yeah I kow it is not called Blade of the Rift in game as well, it is just a random enchanted weapon. So are the thane weapons themselves, just with a title change.

But for information on it the page should be named that don't you think?

I am sure it is a bug associated with it when you recieve it. I have read a few reports of people recieving it and it actually being named Blade of the Rift.

My creation of that page was part of my standardization for all thane weapons (I rewrote every single page to have a standard constant across all of them, kind of like what was done to the Daedric weapons)

Some pages need images and so are not complete

Thoughts?

CyberDemiGod (talk) 05:10, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey thanks for adding those images, I added one the the Blade of the Rift. I also wrote appropriate text for it, different from the others given it's naming issue.

Because of that I got to check off all of those on the Skyrim Weapons project I am working with Jimee and Undead Heretic on. Several that didn't have an image (or one of good quality like the blad of whiterun) were left unchecked because I considered the image part of a standard.

Moderator/Administrator
Hey there TombRaiser,

First of all i want to tell you your edits and personal pages look very good.

And I'm also happy to see another girl on this wikia. Now i'm not the only one.

But now the thing i was actually calling for: I see you're an administrator and i was questioning myself how you could become one. Could you please tell me how? I know it's much too soon for me to become one, but then i got something i can look forward to and work for.

And if there is a diffirence between mod and admin, please tell me, cause i don't really know if there is one.

I would be pleased if you can answer this message, but it doesn't needs urgent attention :)

Thank you Arjen2 (talk) 17:39, May 14, 2012 (UTC)Arjen2

Uploading Help
Hi, TombRaiser I am pretty new and I am not familiar with uploading photos. I'm not the best at finding all of the required information/copyright info needed but I noticed the Nchurdamz page is in need of images and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Nchurdamz has a few good ones. If you or someone else could upload them, or teach me more about uploading that would be great. I would love to learn. Basically, the upload page says ""Licensing" is an absolutely non-optional field which must be used to indicate the license, and "GFDL" or "public domain" licenses must not be used for anything copyrighted by Bethesda or an affiliate. This information must be listed whether or not the template is used. " but also at the bottom of the description input section it has a place for Licensing Templates. Do I use a template and ignore the manual Copyright input or do I have to use both? Assantus (talk) 20:27, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Thaumaturgy
Sorry for bothering you once more today, but I am having some trouble.

The page Thaumaturgy was created by someone and I reasearched it. I added a lot of info, but Thaumaturgy was removed from TES after Morrowind I am pretty sure. Some spells such as Levitate is considered Alteration but according to what I found it is also Thaumaturgy? I don't know if the page should be removed, or changed, but it is really difficult to try and separate or combine the info because I am not even sure if a lot of it should be combined or whatever needs to be done. User:Assantus

If it existed in games before Morrowind, then it's still a valid page to have on here. It's the same with how Skyrim no longer uses the School of Mysticism, but the page for it still exists since it's in Oblivion. 23:26, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Names
i just think its kinda redudnat to say Staff of Magnus (Morrowind) Appears in Daggerfal and morrowwind if anything we should merge them BrooklynGuido42

This is the way it is supposed to be listed. Do not remove them just because you think it's redundant. 00:57, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Mistake on Locked Page
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Vampirism_%28Skyrim%29#Bugs there is a spelling mistake when is says ebondy instead of ebony. I was going to fix it, but the page is locked, is there anything you can do to fix that mistake?

Reptillian (talk) 03:03, May 15, 2012 (UTC)Reptillian

I'll fix it right now. Thanks for the notification. 03:13, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Moderator/Administrator
Thanks for replying on the question i had about the difference between mods and admins. But i have got another question now. Since i like the function a mod or how you call it patroler, i would like to know how to become one. I know i'm still too "young" to be one, but i would like something i could look forward to and work on.
