User images
Hey Ebony, the user image policy is included in a user's welcome message, but here is the direct link. Yes, 25 images is too much, if the images are solely being uploaded for use on a user's profile. —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:46, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for fixing my image of Crow's Wood with the licensing tag. I uploaded the image before reading the rules (never again) and when I went back to add the tag, there was no drop down menu to do it. Keep up the good work :)

Excessive images
How to change the name of my already uploaded picture ? and how much is the limit of images ?. (that Policy Page you send me said the limit is 3, but why there are many people who have more than 3 images ?, if I may ask. )

Hello:
Hello EborySkyrim Thanks for fixing my question to Timeoin, sorry if that cause any trouble. By the way I'm trying to top level in Oblivion but I have a doubt: I read something about leveling up the skills past 100 points, my question is: Can you please tell me if it's safe to level up the skills past 100 points?. Thank you. Hidraslick (talk) 23:52, April 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your answer, I read yesterday that the skills can level up past 100 points, actually they top at 255 points and is safe to do it but there is no point in level up the skills after the top because that doesn't gives any benefits except in the Athletics and Acrobatics skills that keep giving benefits past the top, making the character jump higher and run faster. If I need something else I let you know. :) Hidraslick (talk) 21:50, April 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello again, I've asked a couple of questions to Timeoin but I think he's busy since I didn't got a reply. So I wanted to ask you to see if you could help me with my doubts as well.  I'm playing TES IV: Oblivion and I have a doubt concerning leveled items in the official plugins, I don't want to use any of the houses that come with them for fear of obtain low leveled items when I use the houses so I don't know if I must wait until I reach top level to use them or if I can use the houses and obtain the top level version of the items later when I reach top level. Also discovered a mod that levels the leveled items that the player has to their actual level but I don't know if that mod is safe to use. Please tell me what to do and if that mod is safe to use. I have the last version of the 3 unofficial patches and no other mods installed and i have another question, I read somewhere that the leveled items the player can obtain for a quest are leveled in the moment when the player claim the reward, so here's my question: Can I finish quests that give leveled items but no claim the rewarded item, level up to top and then come back and reclaim the item without losing the top level version?. Thanks for the answer and sorry if I bother you too much. Hidraslick (talk) 03:28, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for adding those articles for books in TESO. Very helpful. You're doing Zenithar's work. You guys rock. (: Ottakanawa (talk) 07:24, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

 * Also, add me in game sometime. You should be able to guess the name I chose :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 09:28, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * NP - to either one. I have screenshots of them somewhere on my computer. (Some I've already added to the wiki). If you mean you're adding them to the books - please, feel free! Ive got hardly any time at all these days :( As for the server - if you're EU, you should probably stay there, unless you really want to start at level 1 again lol. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:33, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh. I had that one as well. I found that if I did the download, hit repair (let it finish verifying), then when it was ready, closed the launcher, it worked fine. There's help on the forum, apparently, if that is any help. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 10:07, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Suspected Sockpuppets
Have you heard of a user called Spidermanfromthe60s? He's very popular on chat. However, I've noticed an account with nearly the exact same name: Venomfromthe60s. Looking at these two names, there is no way this is a coincidence. I just wanted to alert you to the fact that these users might be sockpuppets. Good day, 10:07, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Spiderman made the Venom account for roleplaying purposes, not for bypassing a ban. I don't know what's the procedure in those cases, though. I suggest leaving him. 00:07, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

Issues
I have learned to see maintenance (which usually happens in the short amount of time I have in which I can play), as Zenimax's way of telling me of doing some work on here instead. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:57, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Italicization
I've noticed that you've been removing the italicization on some of the ESO books I've been posting on the wiki. Are we not supposed to italicize?

Dovahsebrom (talk) 01:20, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * This was discussed in this thread. Most people agreed on not italicizing books, although I still think it's good formatting. Ebony, are italics to be removed? 01:31, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, well, thanks for clearing that up. 05:40, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

Mispelling
Hey Ebony, apologies if this is a bit overwhelming with all the work you've been doing, but can you fix some spelling mistakes on the loot section of the dragons article? It uses the British variation of English and mispells "Deadra". Thanks in advance. 09:02, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Done :) 09:10, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

Quest
Damn, it didn't send. Yes, separate pages. If they're separate quests (i.e. they appear separately in the Quests section of the menu, then they should be separate pages. Same with the Spearhead ones at the start if Stros M'Kai. Also, if you're playing Daggerfall Covenant, can you keep a look out for the quests? I got the achievement for completing "all quests in Auridon", then proceeded to get 5 more quests. (2 in the ruins of Castle Rilis, 2 in North Point), and one in Mehrunes Spite after killing the boss.) Basically trying to work out if its deliberate so that you can skip a quest or two of you want too. Umm.. oh, and also, is there the guild up and running on the EU server? We've got 60 or so over here. Keep helping folks with simple questions, and then inviting them to join if they have more questions Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 22:12, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Characters
Whoops. I've been adding them to the region pages, as well as the city page. Reason for that is it shows up as similar pages. I cms stop though, if its wrong. Oh, and the na one has me, TombRaiser, assassin art, and turkey socks. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 22:50, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * On the issue of characters though.. I think the main characters page should be used to list the "generic" characters. For example (using Auridon cos that's where ive spent the most time so far), First Auridon Marine, Vulkhel Guard, Eagles Talon, Eye of the Queen, etc, but also the non-grouped ones that appear all over the place like "Thalmor Representative", "Onlooker", Guild Savant; Guild Bladee; outlaw, gambler, etc. They're characters in the game, and probably deserve their own page, but they don't have proper names, either. I think having those ones listed there would serve a useful purpose, in that theres a reason for the page other than to just list the listing pagesTimeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:05, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also like to get something for the quest branching options, too. I.e. with the Spearhead, I know from beta that the ones you help keep turning up again in Betnikh main quests. They're doable without, but its a nice little thing. And the Ayleid Relic at the end - what difference if you use it or destroy it. That kind of thing seems like it should make a big difference. Does it? (I destroyed it during the beta). Um... Keep a note of how often those intimidate and persuasion options can be used, too? (Even if you can't use them yourself, the option still appears). People probably want to know if they're worth the valuable skill point. (Personally, I think I wasted the two points). Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 23:23, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * I meant, like, go on a spree of creating pages for the characters, with the proper templates and format headers and the like. I.e. go insane with it. :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 13:39, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

Alchemy pages
Attempting to fill out some pages for Alchemy (online), I discovered that ingredients pages have been deleted. I am a bit new to wiki editing, so I'm not sure how this works. When a user goes to the ingredients page, they are met with several bright red missing pages, with no suggested alternatives. Is this right? Can someone please explain the reasoning? Thanks so much for the time and hard work. Xenrae (talk) 14:35, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

I cannot come back
Hey ebony, pardon my sloppiness; I'm editing from my phone. My parents got tired of it. So I'm not on the wiki anymore. Just to let you know I'm probably never coming back 19:17, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

More on deleted pages...
Thanks for the reply. I had created the missing page and was filling it out, when I got a notice that this page had been deleted, and was I sure I wanted to add it back in. In this case, the notice referenced you, Ebony, as the one who deleted it. I was trying to add for "Columbine" and the notice said something about "Columbine Root Pulp," from Oblivion. Hence my confusion.

Also, is this the only method of asking questions? I hate to overrun your wall with this. Xenrae (talk) 22:30, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Additional Heimskr info
Hey Ebony. Due to its featured article status, the Heimskr page is locked, but it's missing one piece of info. After the Battle of Whiterun for the Legion, one of two things can happen to Heimskr: he can either move to a tent near the shrine, or be jailed due to the Concordat's policy. The page only notes the former, while he was jailed in my game, and in other people's games, as evidenced in this thread. Could you add that to the article, that he can also be jailed after the battle? Thanks in advance. 09:49, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks great, thanks Ebony. 11:04, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Dumb Question

Mini-Rant
That wasn't a rant ;) But okay, png it is. Only reason I was asking was because they are nearly a megabyte each, that's all. And yeah, definitely agree - consistency is probably better. Slightly more annoying during upload, but other than that, its better every other time since. Also - apologies if mine aren't consistent - i'm only using Paint to get them all.

 * Ebony - if editor's image uploads are a concern, then I strongly advise making a front-page blog post about the guidelines and highlight a forum post pointing to it so everyone can see it.

Possible Plagiarism
Hey I noticed that a user added two pages Breton Naming Conventions and Khajiit Naming Conventions. They are obvious copies of the UESP "Lore: Breton Names" and "Lore: Khajiit Names". These pages should be deleted right? The user keeps removing the Delete template that I added to the pages. 13:03, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * They were closer to the UESP pages before I warned her and put the delete template. After that she deleted the Arena and Daggerfall sections on the names and some other things in the hope that it would be enough. But it isn't because it is still an obvious copy, and a quick check in the history of the pages showed that they were copied word for word.  13:42, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

 * Posting this here so that it gets lost in the sea of text on your talk page. That place has overtaken us massively in terms of page numbers. (They were several thousand pages fewer than us).

Tables for Clothing
Like you were saying with using a table, would there be a column for locations(I noticed that was lacking)? And also would there be separate tables (possibly on separate pages) for different clothing types like robes, footwear, shirts, pants, etc for organization purposes? And if you don't mind, I'd like to try and make the big edit. I know I'm new, but I'm quite passionate to add on and help and am more than willing to do it perfectly.

Thanks DeltaFerret (talk) 19:56, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

Started a Clothing Table
So I started off with robes and hoods (in alphabetical order) and added in all info I knew and confirmed with the game. I even added in Aqua Silk Robes, which weren't even list on the regular clothing page. I then used images already on the wiki for the image column. How do you think I did so far, and is there anything I forgot? User:DeltaFerret/Sandbox1 I could continue expanding info, and adding sections for different clothing types if you like it thus far.

Finished the Table of Robes!
So I finished the table of robes: User:DeltaFerret/Sandbox1. Well for the most part at least. I doubt I listed all the locations and a few robe sets dont have a full robe/hood combo picture. I listed them in alphabetical order, but the order in which hood or robe appear first changes multiple times, so just to make the table more uniform and organized, should I place just the robes in alphabetical or and put the corresponding hood after each one? Oh! And just to let you know, I was in source mode the ENTIRE time finishing. Thanks DeltaFerret (talk) 22:35, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
