Letter
I would just go with:


 * Letter from  (Thanks)
 * Letter from  (Reward)

it's the only ones that makes sense really. What do you think? Jimeee (talk) 13:37, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Birds nest
It's not really a container are you can only take items out of it - not store them in. That sections should go on some other page I think. Jimeee (talk) 14:15, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Haskill ID
Hey Kenny,

Are you sure the Spell ID for Summon Haskill is 00019867? My main question is about the first two digits: generally, I thought they started with xx (replaced by real numbers, of course) if the spell/character/whatever is from a DLC. I thought that the prefix "00" was reserved for the base game. Just checking to make sure on that ;) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 00:03, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! i didn't expect fo someone to notice so fast that i made a edit! i'll sing up and help out if i can!

Re: Neloth
Thanks. It was hard work! I'm betting its the most detailed character page we have - if only they were all like this :p

Re: Captain Metilius
If you have access to the Creation Kit and you look up his base ID 0001C9F7 tab over to "AI Packages" it shows that he has schedules for what to do when in Castle Dour and also to appear in Castle Dour when the quest MQ103 (Bleak Falls Barrow) is active. So, there is data of him in the CK, but when he is spawned it's not with a unique RefID, so when he appears, it is merely a copy of him. That could be why your friend couldn't find him. Whether he disappears after To Kill an Empire is complete, I don't know. I would have to check in my own game. But if he appears in the game at all without console command intervention, then he cannot be called an "Unused NPC". — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:47, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Idesa Sadri
Hi Kenny, when I took that image of her I placed the Dragonborn to the right of her instead of right in front of her, so she turned her head I quess to look. That's why it looks like she is leaning to the right.. :) :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 08:07, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Leads
Hi. If you are doing mass removal of the game from the lead, it's probably a good idea to pad the lead out while you are at it.

For example "Prelate Edhelbor is a Snow Elf." is a poor lead. I suggest moving the location of where they are found or what faction they are part on into the lead - like: "Prelate Edhelbor is a Snow Elf who be found at the Wayshrine of Radiance in the Forgotten Vale"

Erik
Hello admin.

Please please please stop user Erik The Mad from undoing everybodies damn posts!!...we all try and contribute to the TESWiki best we can only for a control freak with no life to go undoing our work and wasting our little dedictated time, and not just mine but everybodies, look at the amount of pointless edits Erik The Mad has made in the last hour alone??

Nothing but a menace, whats the point of adding and updating this wiki if control freaks like him undo all our work??

Doubt you will listen, but thank you anyway.


 * Hello,


 * I'm going to post here since nobody really checks the non-account talk pages. His edits you undid which were subsequently undid by him were correct. There is a policy on the Wiki where we remove the game name from articles - in particular, character articles. Furthermore, the content on the Wiki is under the Creative Commons license, which means that it can be edited or distributed without any contributor's consent. Thus, it is said here that do not contribute to the Wiki if you are scared of having your edits ruthlessly and unmercifully edited and changed, which is exactly what is happening here. I will look into Erik's non-lead-related edits for the time being. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 19:45, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * This ^ I'm very sorry but since we are a wikia, and everybody can edit freely, you're changes can be undone/editted further. This is the way a Wikia or a Wiki works. As far as i know, Erik The Mad hasn't done anything against the rules. I hope this and Kroq's explanation cleared things up for you.


 * Ps. thanks for answering Kroq! 19:51, April 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi thx for replying, yeah was bit annoyed yesterday. So policy is to remove the 'game name from articles' i cant understand that completely, as i did not mention anything apart from - that taaries body ends up in the hall of dead in solitude? to be honest this may need to be placed under 'trivia' instead of 'bugs' but it was a branch off the 'bug' if you like, so instead of just removing peoples work, eric could have just being more constructive and placed things where they belong, or if it mentions something that shouldnt be mentioned then instead of just undoing everyones dedicated work they should edit it so it complies with wiki's rules? its just total lack of constructiveness on eriks part...really annoying, but as you say, anyone can edit.... thx for replys, if anyone gets to read this, i undid one of my edits again on the taarie page, so if someone could correct what i may have done wrong..instead of just deleting everything, that would be great. cheers guys.


 * I had also a case, I didn't remember what it was, but I think it was on Mammoth or something. I didn't care though.

why the rollback on Retrieve the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe
Hi,

Why you think the content added on 17:20, April 20, 2013 over Retrieve the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe doesn't belong to the topic?

The section I added is a comment on why player should consider not to complete this quest. From what I understand, this counts as walkthrough.

If it doesn't belong here, then where should I put it?

Shilka (talk) 11:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well Shilka, in my opinion, why i felt like it was not the place to mention this, is because its a walkthrough to complete the quest. Since your suggestion included not completing the quest, it shouldn't be named under walkthrough. If you really think its worth mentioning, of which i don't, you can place it under a "trivia" section. Not as part of the walkthrough. 19:42, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok I agree that it could be listed under "trivia". But since one can always complete a mission later if you decide not to complete it now, but you can't undo a completed mission, I think it is necessary to inform/warn player before they saw the guide on how to complete it. And since burden is very important, and some if not many people would consider carrying a pickaxe at all time to deal with random ore vein is a good idea, I would consider the advice on not to complete the quest very important. .Shilka (talk) 15:22, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well then you can add it under a trivia section. 15:57, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Image Requests
Hey Kenny it's no problem. Been very busy and haven't had much of a chance to contribute the past few months. I can probably provide requests as necessary now.

I noticed the others had been lingering for several weeks. Glad you liked them. Had been saving the Festus images incase you wanted a different angle or more/less background.

17:24, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Scholars
Yeah, that is another category that doesn't add anything. I have noticed Chairmanprescott6179 has been inventing several of these categories - like Skyrim: Artifacts, which is basically the same as Skyrim: Unique Weapons and armor. I'm not online often these days, so someone needs to keep an eye on this. Jimeee (talk) 11:21, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Morrowind question
Hello, I think I remember your user name from Dragon Age Wiki, did you ever contribute there?

Chameleon is tricky, because it is a spell effect, a spell, and an ability. If you're looking only for the spell itself, in the Construction Set:
 * 1) Go to the Spellmaking tab
 * 2) Scroll down to Chameleon - Spell
 * 3) Right-click
 * 4) Select Info.

You'll see the ID codes of everyone who has the Chameleon spell. It won't be a long list, because a lot of people use variants that include a Chameleon effect.

That's the easy part -- Figuring out everyone who uses Chameleon is tricky and/or tedious, unless you happen to know the names of all the various spells that have a Chameleon effect. That's where a major shortcoming of the CS arises: as far as I know, there's no way to get a list of all the spells that use a particular effect. If you browse through the spell names sometimes you can guess at what it might do. In this case, any spell containing the word "shadow" is a good bet, and possibly other spells containing the word "eye" or "hide." But I only know that from experience, and there's probably a lot that I wouldn't be able to find immediately.

Outside the Construction Set, other possible means of finding spells with a particular effect: 1- The MW spells article, but it is very incomplete. When it gets finished it will be a great resource. 2- Go to the disambig page and see the list of "what links here". 3- uesp lists only the spells that are available for purchase by the player, which is very incomplete and not particularly useful. 4- Carefully formulated Google searches can sometimes help. 18:57, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Riekling Page
Shouldn't this page be moved to Riekling (Morrowind) and this page made a disambiguation page, now that Dragonborn is released? Wolfishtail (talk) 18:47, May 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * You are correct and i've corrected that. Thanks for noting! 20:31, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re: The Skaal Test of Loyalty
My opinion would then be that it should simply say just that: the quest consists of completing six other quests, so look at those pages for the walkthroughs. The Test of Loyalty page, I would think, should only have the information uniquely relevant to that quest - something like 1) talk to guy, 2) do other quest, 3) talk to guy again - and leave out the list of every step taken in every other quest on the way. Anything else is redundant, and we avoid that in every other case. A 30-step list is by no means "quick," and it's ugly to look at and a pain to use.--LeDaea (talk) 14:59, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Permission to edit
Hello there sir, sorry to bother you i would like to make a request: Would you please give me access to edit the special protected pages? like Harkon and Dragonborn's since you are a admin of the wikia. Tesshu (talk) 16:05, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but i can't give you these rights. The page Harkon is protected so only Admins can edit that page, because its a high traffic page. So you won't be able to edit that one. If you see something that should be changed, you could always post it on the talk page or on an admin's page. But you can't edit that one yourself.


 * Dragonborn is a different scenario: it is protected so that only regular users or staff can edit that page. So users that are not logged in, or that are recently created (as in less than 100 edits if i'm correct) like you, are not able to edit the page. So over time, you will automaticly be able to edit the page Dragonborn, but not the page Harkon. I hope its all clear to you know. 16:19, May 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply, i understand the reason you can't give me the rights to edit. Tesshu (talk) 16:24, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

User Boxes?
Hey, sorry if I am bothering you, but I have a question about userboxes. Are they only for certain-ranking people, or would I be able to add some to my page? I just thought they might be useful for collaboration and letting people know what I mainly edit. I just wasn't sure if I was permitted to add any to my profile.

TheInfamousLyingHarlot (talk) 20:48, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey TILH, everyone is permitted to have userboxes on their user page. They're not restricted to any kind of user :) 20:53, June 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Cool! Thank you for replying so fast! :)

Game in Lead
Hi Kenny, I asked Jimeee about what to do with this "game in lead" to be or not to be. It is agreed on that it shouldn't be on character articles and it has been removed on some of the templates, but not all. I asked as one member seem to remove it on all articles now and then. There isn't an a agreed standard on which non-character articles it should be removed. He suggested that you, Kroq and Tomb could discuss on a standard as he isn't editing so much at the moment. It would be good I think to try and have a standard on this. :) I'm leaving this message to you all. EbonySkyrim (talk) 17:11, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Vandalism in progress
I'm not sure how it worked before, but the code is still on the VIP page (QuickCVUAdder), but it's not functional. I have no idea how it works or why it stopped working, but it's been down for a long time now, so people wanting to report vandalism would have to manually edit the "Reports" section and add in the IP address and page via the template. I had sent Sactage a message about the CVU form not functioning a long time ago, since he set it up, but he never responded. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:49, June 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Instead of waiting around any longer for a fix to the CVU form, I just updated the method for reporting. Reporting is just going to have to be done manually. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:09, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

vandalism
There is a user vandlising the wiki mostly the falmer section. Crazy131 (talk) 15:38, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which user/which pages? 16:43, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see the problems are already handled by a fellow admin. 16:45, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Shout - learn about word wall
Despite this being the creation kit name, it's a poor quest name and not really grammatical correct (Learn about the Word Wall). I'd pick something more descriptive. "Words of Power" or something.

Also, note that this particular page was a misc objective not given by Arngeir - Because of this it should probably be treated as a seperate quest as it is not one gained from him.

Jimeee (talk) 16:20, July 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * In regards to the page named Shout - learn about word wall, I think a better name for that page would be "Find the Source of Power", since all of those radiant quests given by the courier begin with that naming convention. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:10, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'll rename it. 18:15, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Photo upload
Ok, so heres the deal. I clicked "add a photo to this wiki", "upload a file", selected a photo from my gallery then clicked "upload". Underneath where it says "select file", it says "permission error" in small red letters. What do you make of this?Fortune Payback (talk) 19:34, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * Weird. I personally don't get that message. Could I ask, which internet browser are you using? Could you try the multiple upload form for me to see if it gives the same message (just use it for one image, don't have to fill all the area's)? I never heard of this problem before. 19:39, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I am using google. I have made an attempt at using the multiple file upload and this time it mentions that this is an error. It mentions that I am making a copy of another photo as well as mentioning it to be too small of a file (200px). Does it matter thar I am using a mobile device?Fortune Payback (talk) 20:20, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * As far as I know that shouldn't be a problem. I will download Chrome to see if I get the same error message. I can't test if its the mobile device though, since I don't have one ^^. I will report back to you if I know more! 20:47, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. In the meantime, I will attempt to contact wikia staff directly. Peace.Fortune Payback (talk) 20:53, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * I've tried it in Chrome and I don't have any problems uploading photo's. So its not the browser. Have you tried uploading from a computer instead of a mobile device? Maybe that's the problem then. 09:19, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I will try this out, next time I get the chance. Thanks for the help.That's not a tool, that's a damn brick. 13:15, July 18, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback

Re Pictures
Hi Kenny, first... just call me Ebony :) About the images. Also first: I'm not sure it's possible to extract the png files from the game as one can do in other games to get just the garment and items with transparent background. That is possible in the game "The Sims" for example. I have no idea how Zimakaru did or if he just had a high resolution when he got the images he have uploaded. I have a 1920x1080 resolution on my screen.

So yes, take a screen ingame and then you have to use a graphics program that can handle layers, such as Photoshop. I'm using Corel Paint Shop Pro as I have had it for years and years. Then you have to remove everything around, in the end pixel for pixel.. after a while it's not so hard :) and save as .png. After I have removed all I check and add a layer with red so I can spot if I've forgotten a pixel. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:10, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's the toggle commands tai to freeze the characters and tfc for free the camera. You hit the key first that is above the tab key.. It's been a while since I played Skyrim so I had to look at the console command page. ;) you might have to try a few times to get the carachter in the right pose, in Oblivion they just stand straight up, in Skyrim I can't really remember now. Try it out.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:22, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Adding, maybe you have seen. We have the size 600x1000px or 600x1080px on the character images.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:25, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * You don't have to wait for him, do a save in the game and then use the console commands to get him. That's what I do when I can't find the characterand when I'm finished I just go back to the last save. :) I'm going away for a few days but I'm coming here everyday (as I'm soon getting the akatosh badge, don't want to miss it) so if there is anything else.... EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:20, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not bad, but there is a fine white line at the top. Can you get rid of that? It is also a little bit dark but that depens on the screen. My laptop screen is a bit darker than my stationary computer. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 15:32, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting the comment. I'd continually tried to edit my previous comment but to no avail.

Box on the top of your talk page
Hey, Kenny. I wanted to know the format on the creation of the gray box on the top your talk page and how you put it above the little contents box on the side. I want to use it on my own page. If it is easier, send me a link to a page that shows how. I have not been able to find it. Thanks.FortunePayback (talk) 22:27, August 26, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback

Kenny, the Fate section of Ulfric's page is wrong.
On ulfric's page it says he regrets the civil war because it made Skyrim weaker and the Thalmor stronger, this is wrong. All he regrets is the poor timing for the civil war, as it coensided with Alduin's return, giving him an all you can eat buffet in Sovrngard. Someone needs to fix this, i cannot as the page is locked from edit, its misinformation. I already said this on the Talk Page, i also put a direct quote on the Talk Page if you want to read it for your self. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 18:11, September 15, 2013 (UTC)Harold Burned-Mane.
 * I'll take a look at it! 18:20, September 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks Kenny, it was really bugging me that there was misinformation in the Wiki page. Also if you ever have time you could read my "The Truth about Ulfric Stomcloak" blog, there i refute many evidence against claims like "Ulfric is racist" or "Ulfric is Power hungry".

Vlastarus
Before I get into an unecessary edit war, I wanted to ask an Admin the following: on the Vlastarus (Online) page, the town of Vlastarus is listed as appearing in both Oblivion and in TES: O. I removed Oblivion from the appearance section since there is no town called Vlastarus in Oblivion. There's a Fort, but not a town. User MHInfinite undid my edit saying that the town appears in both. Should the Oblivion appearance be removed or left? DRAEVAN13 19:36, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, since it already was a ruin in Oblivion, its a small change that it will be the same in Online. So say, delete the template since there's no evidence yet that the small ruin in Oblivion, is the same as the town in Online. 09:10, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Biography of Barenziah.
I just quickly checked the first one. At least in Morrowind, it refered to it as "Rifton", not "Riften". Dont know about the later books, though. Should we have a "(sic)" thingy there then? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 20:46, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ow, I'm sorry. Yes, we should. Just so that people don't make the same mistake as I did. But it should still link to Riften, not Rifton ;) 21:21, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't be sorry. I would have thought it was a typo, too, if I didnt remember reading the typo in the books in the first place. (Or rather, if I hadnt typed them out from the Morrowind CS in the first place lol). Also, apparently someone was annoyed that you deleted their file. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 14:45, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I actually never read the books in the Morrowind versions, but did in Skyrim. I never noticed the typo's ;).
 * I just looked up the forum thread. I deleted that picture because it was marked for deletion and it was not in use at the time, and has nothing to do with the Elder Scrolls. If he wanted to use the picture on the forums or his pages, he should have written me a message asking if I could place it back. This ranting on the forums is childish and i'm not going to respond to such nonsense. 20:14, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

Blog Help
Hi, the lowly Jett Cyber here. Can you help me with my blog? I published it and everything, but it is not on the recent blog posts page.

re: leaked concept art
Hello, I checked Windhelm (Online) and "City Gates.jpg" appears to be fine, it's just a fairly old image of ESO back from last year. With that said, I've noticed the same user has uploaded a lot of ESO beta images from the character creation. I've removed them from the pages they were posted to, although I don't know if they can be marked for deletion or anything. If I see anymore ESO Beta images I'll be sure to remove them from any pages. MHInfinite (talk) 09:56, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, we should definitely delete any Beta images that get uploaded to this wiki. I'll start adding the Deletion template to the relevant images. MHInfinite (talk) 14:32, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Why bother having disambiguation pages then, if its against the rules to link to them ? I don't see how my edit is vandalism, there's no need to link to "Hagraven (Skyrim)" if there is a disambiguation page. If disambiguation pages are NOT to be linked to, take them all down. --Speysider Talk Page 17:16, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

Does this site ban for more than one account on one computer? I see no harm in it, and my dad and sister might make an account. By the way, I am also asking TombRaiser and Timeion. Jett Cyber (talk) 18:45, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Ring Classification
Hello, i'd like to ask you a simple question: should rings be classified as clothing? I am in doubt about this because a lot of rings are categorized clothing in Morrowind articles. Thanks. 21:03, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, no. They should be counted as Jewelry. But Morrowind could be a special case. 21:06, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've looked it up in the Construction Set and it appears Morrowind is a special case, since all the rings and amulets in Morrowind are listed as clothing in the game code. Though, I'm still not sure if we want to list it under clothing, even though the construction set does. 21:09, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh. Strange. Thanks for the reply! 20:35, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Paarthurnax
The SkyrimCreatures infobox lacks the fields to input faction, rank, services, essential, and RefID, but then again the SkyrimNPC infobox lacks the fields to input health, magic, stamina, and spells. Both infoboxes are lacking, so what would be better to use in this case? Maybe NPC infoboxes should include an area to include Health, Magicka, Stamina, etc... — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:53, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Make a combined infobox that covers all bases (eg Template:Infobox/CharCombined) and allows for the use of any kind of character, be it NPC, Creatures, Dragons etc. --Speysider Talk Page 18:55, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I see the pros for such a combined infobox but I don't know how that'll work out with categories linked to the templates etc. I do think that we have to at least add health, stamina, magicka etc to the SkyrimNPC infobox. Just like we have with the Morrowind NPCs. 19:23, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * For categories, you could use a template that specifies parameters for displaying categories (eg Template:Infobox/CatSwitch). --Speysider Talk Page 19:24, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Kind of what the Book template uses? Flightmare created that infobox, I think. If we made it similar to that, I think we would need someone to help get that going, because I am not that advanced in template creation that uses switches or templates within templates. Are you familiar with creating that type of combined userbox Speysier? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:58, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sadly not. It is possible to do it but sadly my coding knowledge of templates on MediaWiki is very limited and I can only do simple templates :P --Speysider Talk Page 20:09, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's cool. I might try to learn how to do it in my sandbox wiki. It would be nice to have one single template to use across all games in a similar manner as the books template. PS: Sorry for hi-jacking your talkpage Kenny. :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:14, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Re: About bots
Hi Kenny. The type of bot that I use is an AWB (Auto Wiki Browser) which does not-so-complicated tasks such as "find and replace". It's a tool developed by Wikipedia and they use it there aswell, except in order to use an AWB on Wikipeida you have to be permitted to do so. But, with Wikia, you have to start a blog or forum post stating that you wish to create a bot account on The Steam Trading Cards Wiki. After you get enough support votes, you then contact Wikia about it, requesting a bot account.

After you have that account you can start to use the AWB. The AWB should never be used on a regular account, since it can promote badge hunting and also clogs the recent changes. Bot edits are hidden from the RC.

Check out this page for the download and a bit of info. You can skip #1 and just do #2 and then #3.

It may take some getting used to at first, but this should get you started:


 * Launch the AWB.


 * Go to File, and choose Log in/Profiles. (You can log in with your account for now, but you shouldn't run any tasks until you have a bot account).


 * Go to Options and select Preferences. Click the Site tab and enter your wiki's main link. [IMAGE]


 * Look on the left side of the window where it says "Make list". If you want to do tasks on all the pages on the wiki, select Special pages from the Source dropdown box, then when that opens, select All pages and then Namespace: Main from the dropdown box. Hit OK and then a list of all mainspace pages will be formed in the list area. [IMAGE]


 * Now you have to add in what you want to change. If you want to do find and replace tasks, look on the Options tab to the right of the List. Click on Normal settings. When that box opens you'll be able to do find-and-replace. This works with any words, formatting, and with categories, so if you have categories that you want renamed, you can do that in this area. [IMAGE]

This is the most basic of tasks when using an AWB as your bot. I hope it helps. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:26, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad to help! :) If it's not that active, I would say to go ahead and contact Wikia about it then. You should be able to contact them about it using the Special:Contact/general link. I would think they would understand the need for one in a not-so-active wiki. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:40, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Nocturnal's Hat
Hi Kenny, I've added new images of Nocturnal's Hat, but it's not possible to get an image like the other "hoods" as it isn't visable in the inventory, you have to wear it. I don't know how to get an image from the CK so this will do for now. ~I should have taken a new image of the outfit as well but I'll do that in a day or two. 23:00, January 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Its a lot better. Thanks! 15:30, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism.
Hello! I've been editing the pages on the Mainspace articles recently and have come across two vandals, the only reason I didn't report them though was because each one hadn't done many edits outside of when they vandalized the page. Should I have just reported them both after they did that? Or did I do the right thing by just undoing their edit? Zippertrain85 (talk) 21:17, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * You should report them so an admin can decide what to do with them. 19:00, January 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Since you're an Admin, I'll report them to you.
 * First is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:80.192.163.75. Who Vandalized the Hermeaus Mora (Dragonborn) page. He added a ridiculous section called "The Summit of War" where he said Hermeaus Mora could be destroyed if the Dragonborn choose too. obviously this is untrue.


 * The second is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:98.166.32.250 who said on the Necromancy page at the bottem of it, "May mannimarco devour your soul mortal! Hail the black worm! Hail sithis!" This as well I assume is not something that should be on the article. I removed both of those and left a warning to Anon User:80.192, but didn't saying anything to 98.166. Zippertrain85 (talk) 00:22, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the report and for the warning to one of the culprits. I'll give the other one a warning. If you want to report any (possible) vandalism in the future, you can use the VIP page :) Thanks again! 21:50, January 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the second one since he inserted more nonsense into the page than only the sentence "May mannimarco devour your soul mortal! Hail the black worm! Hail sithis!" and has also vandalized the page Bloodskal Blade. 21:53, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Mods
I saw you edited a Mod page, I didn't know there was still mod pages in this wiki. I though all of the mods had been moved to the Elder Scrolls Mods Wiki. Shouldn't all the mod pages be there? 12:05, February 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * We decided to keep the Unofficial Skyrim Patch pages also on this wiki, since a lot of bug sections link to these pages. But those are the only mod pages we're keeping ;) So: the USKP, UHFP, UDGP, UDBP and UHRP are the only ones you'll find on this wikia. 12:22, February 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ow and the Space Core, since its an mod made by Bethesda themselves. Any other mod pages should be moved to the Elder Scrolls mod wiki. 12:24, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Mistakes
Yeah - thats pretty much a sign that I have been on here too long :( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 11:54, February 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you mean to long like in today or as in total time spend on this Wiki? Because everyone can make mistakes you know. And there's a whole community to back you up. You know there were different times you didn't. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it if I were you. The pages had a few mistakes but that it wasn't nothing I and Flugsmith couldn't fix with a few edits and a couple of minutes. 11:59, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

Beta Tester
That is actually incredibly awesome! I've only got about 700. :( Got quite a lot of locations and characters and such, though - and skills, and everything I could think of as well lol. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:39, March 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I was Ebonheart Pact this time. Also... I was VERY much looking forward to playing after work today. I didnt realise it was already over :( (Also, I have some from Daggerfall Covenant from last time as well) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:50, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm just about to go through and edit the photos I have (trim them so it doesnt show the task menu bar, and upload the maps that I have screens of - and then work from there. (Mainly to see if it will actually let me upload yet). Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:52, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, i misread the day that it said. Oh well - at least the 5 day early access celebrates the 2 year anniversary of our "announcement" of beta, still. :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:59, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ouch. THat would suck. DId you include it on the thread of current problems? (Also, try it again now - it fixed itself recently). Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 11:52, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * That sucks! I only ask because ... I just uploaded a 17 batch multiple upload, and it uploaded fairly quickly. They were a small-ish file size (because it was map images, not proper full-size images). Maybe thats the difference - the file sizes being large means it freaks out and just doesnt work at all. Oh, and I am fully expecting the Lonely Pages to be very very painful tomorrow :( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:01, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Javascript
Hi Kenny ! I am making a work for The demented pony ( an user) I am doing a signature for him but to do it, it needs some javascript. So, i was wondering, could you add this ? /* Expanding Template */ .hiddentext { display: none } .visibletext:hover .hiddentext { display: inline !important } In MediaWiki:Wikia.css ? It would be really usefull cuz, this is an honor i got from him and he's trusting me. So, i d'like not desapointing him. Do you think you can please?

This template is doing an expending thing. Idk how to explain it but it is really nice. I am gonna show you an exemple so that you'll know what you add http://es.shingeki-no-kyojin.wikia.com/wiki/Shingeki_no_Kyojin_Wiki here. Look at the mainspace characters it will be shown personajes. Pss your cursor in it and it will move the picture to show the name. Its what i d'like to add. Thx :P Emperor Jarjarkine   Mail me Mortal!!  16:40, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see any reason to not add it. I'll do it in a sec. 17:04, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * It should be added know. 17:08, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

thx
thx a bunch :p Emperor Jarjarkine  Mail me Mortal!!  18:10, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Skills (Online)
Hi Kenny, you deleted this page last year as it wasn't necessary at the time. Now it's created again... is this relevant? Skills (Online). 09:06, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * In the current state, no. Its junk this way. But we will need a page about the subject, I think. It'll need a clear difference from Abilities (Online) though, it shouldn't mention the same things. But I'm no expert on skills in Online :) So I'm not 100% positive. 21:19, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright.. I deleted it as someone had added the delete template to it. I'm no expert either but if there is a need later we'll just recreate it again. :) 22:22, March 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed! 23:00, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Instant Expert
Hi, Kennyannydenny!

We're planning an "Instant Expert" showcase with the upcoming release of ESO. The gist is that we reach out to admins asking their expert opinions and thoughts on an upcoming or existing game - so in this case, questions pertaining to The Elder Scrolls Online. We're in the process of cobbling together a reasonably short list of questions we'd like to ask and were wondering if you'd like to be one of those that provides answers. Let me know, and I'll email you the list to the email address associated with your account ;) Feel free to answer any or all of them - we're aiming for getting the answers by the end of the month.

Best regards,

Raylan13 ( talk ) 19:36, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes no problem. I'll help you. Just send me the questions and I will answer them this weekend. 22:18, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sent! Thanks very much for your time :) Raylan13 ( talk ) 16:38, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

Cannot Edit My Own Profile Page
I've made several Edits to my Profile (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Fycan) this past several hours and none are updated. I can view my updated Page only when I'm logged in, when I log out, or view from another PC, the very old version is shown. What is going on? Fy can  [ fahy - kan ] @ 07:20, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

It is more clear if you look at my History Page (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Fycan?action=history); when logged off or on other pc, I will only see the 2013-03 version.. and never the 2014-05 edited versions that were made recently. Fy can  [ fahy - kan ] @ 07:36, May 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Mmh, very weird. I can see your edits perfectly fine while logged out. Maybe just wasn't updating for you because of a slight delay in the server. Do you still have the same problem? 17:00, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

Zulana
I think I have run into a problem with this charater. You found one (and unfortunately the servers are down so I cannot currently test this) near Rid-Thar's solace. There's also a black-furred Khajiit by the same name in Vulkhel Guard. They are obviously different characters - and they're in the same region. How should we go about naming them? :\ Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 12:15, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would just name them "Zulana (Vulkhel Guard)" and "Zulana (Rid-Thar's Solace)". That would be the most logical in my eyes. 11:42, June 8, 2014 (UTC)

Chat request
Hi Kennyannydenny, is it possible you can come onto the chat for a bit? There's something I need to talk about in PM's, just PM me when you are available to do so. :) --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 10:55, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that our TES:IRC channel is back in order, if you ever have time to drop by. 21:53, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I already chatted with SuperSajuuk a couple of days ago, but thanks for letting me know! 10:27, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

Meeting soon
Hi Kenny, Flight and I have been talking about getting together for a meeting later this week on the IRC channel, we would be glad if you have the time. Let me know soon please.. 22:50, August 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I have not installed the IRC yet on my new PC. I can do that, but I only have time from Thursday. Tomorrow I have a very busy day at work. I'll try to reinstall the IRC to my new pc. Can't remember how I did that though :) 17:41, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not to butt in, but... TES:IRC. There is a web based IRC channel, which is probably what Ebony is referring to :P --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 17:44, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Totally forgot about that. I always had the IRC installed to my computer and only used that one. But since I got a new one, everything is sort of "out of its place" :) 17:51, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thursday and on is fine, no earlier than that. Don't know yet when the others can as they haven't seen the message yet. I'll let you know when... 19:41, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Kenny.. we have decided for Monday night. I hope you can make it. 08:20, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Last Monday, no sorry. I wasn't home all day. I'm still very busy. I'll be online today during European times, hope i'll meet you there. 15:13, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sent an invitation on Steam.. hope to talk to you there. 16:15, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

Block
Taking down Spey's nomination is bad enough but blocking him for it? Are you honestly that corrupt? That's complete bullshit. You do realise the state that this wiki is in right? Real smart move blocking one of the only people trying to fix it. --&#91;̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅&#93; xXx_5c01ar_0f_Th3_5cr0115_xXx &#91;̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅&#93; (talk) 00:20, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * He didn't break any rules. I'm pretty sure you have no reason to block him. 00:21, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Good to know we have someone as good as God here to guard the website :)
 * I mean flood the Earth and kill his followers God, by the way. Dumb move made by dumb people. You and Tim are officially blinded children for listening to Ebony after she left. It's funny that the most she does for the site is post-resignation. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 00:24, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I'd like to say that it's very interesting how your only notion of activity in this wiki in c.a 3 months came from blocking the user SuperSajuuk. By all means, he is deserving the position of administrator more than you, even out of the simple reason that he is vastly more active than you are.
 * But instead, you decide to randomly block him, even though you should've lost your user rights several months ago in the Reevaluations and were only saved by several Admins grouping up to save you and you showing - for a short time - some activity. This sign of corruption is going to be called out in the community, whether you like it or not. Pelinal the Whitestrake, the Bloody and Insurgent (talk) 00:25, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * SuperSajuuk doesn't deserve to be blocked. If he goes, I go. Tehpwner7067 (talk) 00:28, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly against this block. I believe it is injustified and, before blocking someone like this, the best way would be to talk with him if you disapprove his action, not to completly prevent him to contribute. This is an abuse of right. Deleting his nominaiton, even if lot of people would disagree, would have been better than just blocking him for no reasons.  Please, reconsider this block because the consequences could be really important. Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  02:00, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I just find it fantastic when tyrants expose themselves for being authoritarian. These Admin and their coward tactics do more harm to their legitimacy than me, Spey, Shawn, etc. You guys just act like you're the top the walk around here, and can pretty much do whatever you want, well I am sick of it! We are not going to stand for your crap, Zippertrain85 (talk) 07:26, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, there's the hatetrain coming, right on schedule. First off all, everyone making petty personal threats or insults can immediately leave my talk page and can come back when they can talk normally. That's also in violation of the website's policies and also against the law (threats). Second, nominating yourself this way is not the way to go, the site states that you have to be nominated by an admin, cannot nominate yourself and first must be an patroller before you can become one. Sajuuk has been blocked in the past for breaking policies, that's why the block is two weeks. Everyone saying its an abuse of right is blind, I acted like the wiki's policies stated, nothing more nothing less. If Sajuuk wants to be an admin, he has to walk through the process like everybody else. I have nothing personal against SuperSajuuk. Rules are rules, and after the two weeks have past, i'll be happy to see SuperSajuuk contribute to this Wiki's articles once more.
 * As I've said before, I'm not going to respond to any insults of threats, and any will be removed from my talkpage in the future. 09:33, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * As a note to everyone. I had to remove the first reaction as it was full of personal insults and apparently the poster is, as in his/her own words, "an idiot" for not being able to respond normally. 10:30, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, Kenny, since you seem to be rigorously defending and enforcing the site policies, which could also be seen how you did absolutely nothing in the past 3 months and didn't help the overworked and stressed back-then admins EbonySkyrim and Ghost Anubis, I'd like to ask you to nominate one right now in order to ensure those policies will continuously be enforced. Shouldn't be such a problem for a hard-working and honest Admin who knows the community that deep like you, eh?
 * Now, let us get on the logical view of this. Please tell me who, with the appropriate user rights, exists that can nominate people in this time? Nobody. Yes, technically seen, you, Tim, and all the other inactive admins. But there I said it. You are inactive. You are forcing the community to take action based upon your inactiveness, meaning that the policies have to be broken in order to assure that they will not be broken in the future. If it takes the policies to be broken in order to make sure that we have a stable government and that they will NOT be broken in the future, then hell yes.
 * I can tell you an alternative to this, too. Alright. Let's imagine it this way: The current Admins continue acting this way, are inactive and yet ban everybody who dares to bring some actual government back to the wiki. You know what will happen? Eventually, the broad majority of the community may just realize that this Wiki has nobody active left who can permanently ban them. They can go rampant as they wish, since simply nobody can do anything against it. Additionally, the staff membership will stagnate; we'll loose moderators simply because they either feel overworked because there's no way to block vandalizers off the site permanently, or they simply leave out of other, normal reasons. Eventually, we may only have one Chat Mod, one Forum Mod and one Patroller left. And now, let me tell you this: If this scenario comes true, there'll be a LOT more broken policies through vandalizing the entire wiki than through self-nomination in order to make a stable government. Consider upon this. Pelinal the Whitestrake, the Bloody and Insurgent (talk) 12:24, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * If you are going to point fingers, make sure your hands are clean. Can't call me an idiot when you are hardly capable of being an administrator- not a hard job at all by the way. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 13:51, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Common sense prevailed over your biased blocking. Thanks for proving you are nothing more than a robot who follows the will of people who don't want the wiki to improve. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 21:36, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
