RE:Rules for Avatars
Hey,

As far as I understand it, the wikia itself would handle avatars, and if anybody removed it, it would be them. We did not remove your avatar.

As for copyright, I do not think many would get involved with scanning every persons avatar to make sure they where not using their content.

As for rules, the wikia would respond if somebody had a highly offensive avatar. It would have to be pretty bad for them to step in. I assume it was a glitch that removed your avatar and I do not know how this occurred.

Hope this one stays, good luck and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 18:53, August 21, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Remove from 'needs an image' category.
Sorry for the late reply, people keep jumping up when you least expect them.

The image needed category is auto-added when you add an info box. The coding is set in the templates code. Once an image is added into the proper section of the info box, the category will be removed. Sometimes people add the category manually, and if this is the case, it needs to be removed manually once an image is added.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 18:09, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Images
Hello! In regards to the images ... If they're better quality (either resolution or just actual quality of photo), please re-upload them. (i.e. same name). That way, the file names are still relevant. As to undoing my work? Honestly - I'm glad! If someone can improve the wiki, they SHOULD do so! (honestly .. a lot of the photos I added were just so there was something there for them.:) On a different note - Hello and welcome to the wiki, and let me know if I can help with anything :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 22:38, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

RE:User Image Deletion
The image seems fine, and seeing as it is a user image, I think we can overlook the policy some. The We want images to be in a certain dimension so that when they are used they looks alright, images that are enlarged or shrunk to much stark looking a little off. Just make sure that the image is marked as a user image, helps keep the images organized.

I hope you are enjoying ESO, we need more editors who can help with it. If you have any more questions please don't worry about asking me, seeing as I don't edit as much, the least I can do is help the ones doing all the work-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:32, August 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I have a huge haul of screenshots to distribute on ESO character articles so it helps to understand all aspects of the Image Policies! Bronkiin (talk) 01:39, August 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * If you want to refresh in the image policies, then you should look at the template on the bottom of my profile, it list all our wiki policy and includes a section on images.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:42, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Character images
Hi Bronkiin! I don't think we've met yet, I'm Atvelonis. I wanted to let you know that we have a couple of policies about character images you should be aware of. First, all character images have to be exactly 600x1000 pixels to maintain the perfect quality and size of the image in the infobox.

Additionally, all character images need to be a full-body image of the character, so you can't crop out the feet or legs. I've played ESO and I'm aware that this can be fairly difficult at times, but we still need it all. But other than that you're doing great! Sorry for the huge wall of text... I'm kind of rambly at times. I'm very glad you're here though! I'm looking forward to having some new ESO images on the wiki. So have fun editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 16:51, September 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll revise the ones which need to be, then. Thanks for the advice, the various bits of information re. images are scattered about the wiki, so hard to get right first time! Bronkiin (talk) 16:56, September 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * It needs to be done before you upload it to the wiki, as far as I know there's no way to edit the actual images on the wiki itself. —Atvelonis (talk) 17:14, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Further to earlier...
Yeah, I've encountered that many times. However, they periodically turn around from the counter and walk a few feet away. At this point they might just stand there, or they might take out a book and start writing, or do some other small things. You can usually snap a screenshot then. As long as their face isn't obscured and it's a full-body image it should be fine. Some examples of what I'm talking about: 1, 2, 3. And I've removed the category as you asked, no problem. —Atvelonis (talk) 02:59, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

Files
Hi Bronkiin. You don't have to do for example in infoboxes; just Mel Adrys.png is preferred. It's easier too. You'd only write out the whole thing if you're adding an image to the body of an article rather than the infobox. Just a heads up. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 00:35, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

Team Online
Hello Brokiin. Me and Atvelonis have noticed your consistent edits in adding photos and information for articles. As such, we thought it would be fit that we invite you to the Online Guild. Information on the guild can be found on the page I linked, and if you choose to join, I will add you to the list of members.

I was also going to ask if you wanted to join the in-game guild, but we only have one for the North American PC Megaserver, and I think you live in the UK. If you are interested in creating a European Guild for the wiki, let me know in your reply. ☞ Rim < Talk 21:32, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Rim, I'd be happy to be added to the Online Guild. I'll add the caveat that my free time will significantly diminish at the start of October but I should be able to continue making daily edits. I'll look at creating a European Guild in due course, I'll need to level up more first and see if it'd have the numbers.

Re
Hey, sorry for the late answer. Are you talking about theses 3 first images ? Because, for me, they are working on the page. Did you figure it out ? -- Emperor Jarjarkine   The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  20:58, September 11, 2015 (UTC)4

Re: Wulfmare's Guide etc...
It appears from comparing the older versions of the images with yours in the image's file histories, that all of your updated images are the ones currently in the article. Unless I'm not noticing something I'd say you did fine. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 20:59, September 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, no problem, and keep up the good work :) Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 21:08, September 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Aside from waiting for the images to update, you can also try to bypass your cache so it would force the page to fully refresh/update. I hope that helps. 21:14, September 11, 2015 (UTC)

Fanon Article
Oh to be honest - I had completely forgot about that. (The category itself,too). Those (the "Battles" category are a holdover from the time before I started here -when it was fanon/bad page layout everywhere! Unfortunately, there aas a lot of other things to fox,.and yeah - Clean forgot all about it. Personally - I don't believe that we need then, however, I would recommend starting a Consensus Track thread for them.

Xarxes
Hey Bronkiin, I saw that you created two articles just now (Xarxes (Book) and Xarxes and Oghma). Are they actually two separate books in-game? I only saw the latter on the Imperial Library but I did see both on the other wiki. In case you were looking there, they for some reason have a lore page for every one of their books as well as an in-game page, even if it only appears in one game. So if that's where you got it, I think we only need Xarxes and Oghma. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:00, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Categories
I noticed you have been manually entering Online: character into the categories in the character pages you created. I just want to let you know that isn't necessary. The infobox template automatically adds the category. Also with stubs if you type   at the bottom of a page there will be a stub banner. It will also add the Online: Character Stub category, so there will be no need to manually enter that either. Aside from that keep up the good work. You have been a big help to this wiki. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 00:10, September 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * One more thing, if the character is involved with a quest, instead of ==Background==  with the info about the character's role, followed by  ===Quest name===   Use   ==Interactions==  === Quest Name === Then mention the characters role in the quest. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 00:35, September 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem. If you come across characters who don't fit that format, i'd say fix it.  Ayrenn however, i'm not sure, I think the Interactions section on her article should be called "Dialoge". Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 17:26, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Wiki History
I don't mind at all! Better to have more than one writer on this project for sure. You did a much better job than I did at explaining what was going on in that section—I basically listed all the "who's," you've added the "what" and the "why," which is what I'm really trying to aim for. You're free to update the sandbox as you see fit; the more people who work on this, in fact, the better. —Atvelonis (talk) 17:39, September 21, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Shadows Take Me
Hiya! The phrase isn't unique to Mercer- all Nightingales say it. That's just what they say when they die, because they know that as Nightingales they get to be taken in by Nocturnal (and serve her as a result). The phrase is basically a way to call to her and say they're ready, kinda like a Nord dying and saying something like "Sovngarde awaits me". In this sense then, it is ironic as Mercer isn't really a Nightingale anymore yet still uses the catchphrase which is meant to be a positive thing for Nightingales. He probably says it because Bethesda were a lil' lazy again as they are with these sorts of things. -- { 00:57, September 24, 2015 (UTC) }

Re: Moot Timings
Yes. I can do literally any time on Saturday. —Atvelonis (talk) 18:41, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Moot
Having it that early would probably mean that I couldn't attend. That said .. with the kids, its hit or miss as to whether or not I can attend anyway. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 20:38, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Moot Time
Moving the Moot six hours in either way will make it harder to join, It will either place it at Church or 1am.

If we can get more admin in there, I can accept it, but I would need to know exactly who would and would not be able to do it, I do not think we should focus on having numbers in the Moot, but as many active editors who would be effected. Losing more long term regular editors to get part time editors who rarely contribute positive contributions would not help the wiki.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:18, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure i would be able to, a saturday, 3h pm, I often am busy :/ Emperor Jarjarkine (Talk) 22:20, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Chat
Hey Bronkiin. Just wondered if you could hop onto the chat just now? --Sajuuk 21:15, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

Moot Time
Hey, missed you at the moot. We talked about the moot time, and I wanted to share with you what we discussed

A few people at the moot would not be able to do the six hours, but some of the more active members said four would be possible. At this point, I would be able to attend, but I feel weird about voting on wiki content during my Sabbath. So I could moderate and record info while you all handle things.

We still would have to take this to the community, and seeing as this has become your project, I want you to write out the new consensus. That being said, there are some things we need to cover.


 * 1) After a few weeks, we will need to discuss if this time is better, if we are having new issues, we will need to discuss how to proceed.
 * 2) I want to make sure that those who are present during the moots get a chance to speak up, we are talking about items that effect their ability to be involved, so if we are cutting them out, we need to see who and by how much.
 * 3) IT should be discussed at what point, if any, the loss of involved editors becomes a concern, their opinions if they think their loss if involvement is worth it is a factor of course, but losing to many people would undermine this.
 * 4) When it comes to voting, it needs to be made clear that all who are voting support are not just saying yes for the change, but are also those who will attend the moot. Its great if everybody supports a change, but its not right to vote on a change this size if you wont take part.
 * 5) People who vote oppose are saying likewise that this time will make it harder, if not impossible to attend compared to the current time.
 * 6) I myself will be voting neutral, I can attend, but unless I find a change in how I handle my faith and the wiki, I will not vote.

Does this all sound ok to you? If so start up the CT, if not lets discuss this before putting it out for a vote. Thanks, and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:59, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

VIP
Hey Bronkiin, when you revert a vandal's edit or edits would you mind also reporting them to the Vandalism in progress page so that we remember to block them? We do miss edits occasionally so reporting it ensures that the vandal will be dealt with appropriately. Thanks. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 00:33, October 16, 2015 (UTC)

ESO
ESO isn't working again... it's giving that error message again. It has to do with my router but everything else is working fine so I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. I suppose you'll just have to bear with me until I get my new router (any day now). :P —Atvelonis (talk) 04:04, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

ESO Character Images
Hey Bronkiin, I just wanted to let you know that not all character images from ESO have to be 600x1000. With you going out of your way to have images like File:Hranasgi.png 600x100, it's getting out of hand.

While, yes, it is suggested to have images at 600x1000, this is only when it is possible to have the character fit in to the dimensions. Deceased characters are usually the exception to 600x1000, as NPCs like M'nashi can just be found lying on the ground instead of standing upright.

Sorry if we hadn't mentioned this to you earlier, but keep it in mind for the future. Thanks in advance. ☞ Rim < Talk 20:45, November 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * I also noticed that in one of your photos the "follower" icon appeared. This can be pesky since the Hide UI button doesn't fully do what it says. I suggest installing this plug-in which will fix the problem. ☞ Rim < Talk 03:05, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Reported issues to Wikia
Yeah, I got that exact error message yesterday too. The initial search of it that I conducted didn't turn up with anything useful (only thing I found was on the Runescape Wiki, and it only touched on it). However, I did another search without "elderscrolls" just now and got a few things. The Uncyclopedia encountered the problem but it was apprently resolved. I also found something on the MediaWiki site which went a lot more in-depth and was also apparently resolved. I don't have any idea what the latter thread means but hopefully Wikia can fix it. —Atvelonis (talk) 16:03, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
