Images of Runs-In-Circles & Bruscus Dannus
Hi.

While ago I got two emails mentioning there were changes to those images I was watching, before reading the emails I thought that the images I uploaded here got removed at first like my first Runs-In-Circles(was removed for poor quality) image I uploaded here before. Checking the emails I find out you edited them with larger sizes.

I have to say yours have better quality than mines. Other words, I'm not mad about you replacing mines. :) Also, I like your other images. Clyde BLUESNAKE (talk) 02:30, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hey
Hey Ebony,

Just checking in to see how your doing, and to see if you have any thoughts about being a pattroler. While your free to take your time (we are in no rush for a reply) i just wanted to see how you where siting on the matter.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:02, January 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear you like Oblivion, One of the best games i ever played. And take your time, you dont need to rush this, i was just checking in. Thanks for replying and happy editing-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:18, January 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * You have what it takes, thats why we asked you. We have faith that you can do it. I just nominated you, I have no doubt you will get nothing but support.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:33, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Corpserot Passage
Hi Ebony, just redirect the Corpserot Prison page to Corpserot Passage. I don't know if you have redirected a page before, but it's simple. Edit the page Corpserot Prison, and remove all content from the page copying any relevant info to use in the Corpserot Passage page. Add in  (Source mode) and add the category Category:Redirects, and Publish. That's all for the redirect part. The next thing to do would be to edit in whatever was copied from Corpserot Prison (if any). If nothing needed to be transferred, then that is all that needs to be done. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:20, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re: What to do with the glow?
Hey, I'm not sure what you mean everyone is glowing. Is it an effect that wears off, or did something change in display settings? Can you post a pic? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:00, January 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, by any chance wearing something with Detect Life enchantment? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:08, January 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, most likely that is what it is, since that is what the effect looks like. Good night :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:11, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Remove Project Templates
Hey Ebony, just wanted to let you know that we are doing away with the Project templates that are put at the top (or bottom) of Morrowind/Oblivion pages. Check out the topic in the Thread:228819:CT Board for more info! :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:02, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Renaming pages
Thanks for checking into the correct names of those characters in game. Have you renamed pages before? Could you rename those pages appropriately, please? Just leave a redirect behind. If you haven't renamed a page before, it's easy, right next to the Edit button is an arrow pointing down, click on that and you'll see the "Rename" option. Click that, and in the box type the name you want to rename the page to, make sure "Leave a redirect" is checked, and save. That's all. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:05, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Great, thanks for the help. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:10, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Journal Logs
Yes, the journal logs can be added. They were first added for Skyrim quests, but over the past few months we've been adding them for the other games too. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:29, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Patroller
Your name looks good in yellow :) Now get to work!

Jimeee (talk) 20:54, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * You'll be great, welcome to the patrollers :)-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:06, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice job Ebony, congrats! 22:59, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * And congrats from me, too! :) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 01:08, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Refugees
Hey Ebony, first of all, congrats on becoming a patroller. By now you have noticed your name in yellow! Of course if you have anything you're not sure about, I'll always be around to help as well as the other admins and patrollers. :)

Regarding the Refugee and Refugees pages, one should probably be redirected. I'd go with redirecting the page Refugees to Refugee as the name of the individual character is singular. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:18, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * After looking through the data files in the Creation Kit, it shows that those three Refugees are found dead next to a crashed caravan (The Mauled Refugees). Their appearance is randomly generated though, but, I'm guessing that you can still come across refugees alive on the road, but these three in particular are the dead ones. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:58, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Reverted Image
Okay. Sorry about, I thought that page didn't have an image but once I uploaded the image I noticed it. Also, congrats on becoming a patroller.

AutoBlood (talk) 16:30, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Shalidor's insights
Thank you! So, are you getting a bit used to being a patroller? 14:40, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well that is difficult. And it'll always be that way unless you know everything about every game ^^ If you have any doubts about specific information, you could always ask me. Making a signature is easy ;) Use Template:Signature. If you need help with that, don't be afraid to ask. 19:35, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Concensus track.
Hi there, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the latest concensus track topic as it will change the way we deal with TESwiki news: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:231047

Thanks

Jimeee (talk) 15:28, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Sublocations
Sub-locations are actually not supposed to have an individual page, so if sub-location pages do exist, you can merge that info into the main location page and redirect the old pages to the main location page. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:03, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Question about placement
In the style and formatting guide for quests it has journal entries and the gallery placed above Trivia and Bugs, yet, after creating a test page using the Quest layout feature for Dragonborn, it looks like the Journal entries go below Trivia. You may want to ask Jimeee to be sure, since he's the one who implemented Journal entries. The gallery should be above Trivia, it's always been that way. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:42, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Ebony - I guess I have always placed trivia before gallery which is causing the confusion. For now just add Journal before Gallery Trivia and Bugs I guess. Jimeee (talk) 10:42, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Faded Note Image
Hey Ebony, if you come across the Faded Note in Crucible in the Shivering Isles, can you take a picture of it and upload it? It should be on one of the rooftops. Thanks.

AutoBlood (talk) 22:08, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks.

AutoBlood (talk) 00:58, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: revert and report
Hey Ebony, yes you did the right thing by reverting those edits and reporting the user via the VIP. I hadn't seen your message until now, but it had been handled already by Kenny.

On another note, Dragonborn is out on Steam now! Hope you have some time to start on a new adventure in Solstheim. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:40, February 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * You don't have to report small things that you revert. Instead of using rollback, you can always revert by undoing the edit and add in the summary why you undid the edit, that way, if it is small vandalism, an admin will see the summary comment and will take action if needed. VIP should still be used, but for larger type vandalism, that way it will be noticed right away, since admins check the VIP all the time.


 * No worries about Dragonborn. I know what it is like to get into another game, especially Shivering Isles. That's one of the best DLCs I've ever played, so I don't blame you for wanting to continue with it and expanding on pages when that info is fresh in your mind. I'm glad you are enjoying Oblivion and Shivering Isles so much! :D Also, thanks for adding that heading! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:58, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Daedric quest Oblivion
Yes, there should be separate quest pages for the Daedric quests for Oblivion. Unfortunately all that information is on the Daedirc Prince pages. You can create those separate quest pages when you have the time, if that is something you want to do. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:05, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Pages on Shivering Isles
I think the layout that The Fringe uses would work well for those pages, as they are not your typical location. The New Sheoth Palace page could really use the re-work, so when you plan on making that a project for yourself, that's great. Glad to have someone willing to improve pages beyond the minor stuff. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:05, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey Ebony, The Palace of Sheogorath page should probably have the information merged into the New Sheoth Palace page, since they both seem to be the same thing. Keep the infobox that is used on the New Sheoth Palace page. As for the other project, you should do what you think would be best for the article. A map of the whole region would be good and individual images from the region too. You would still need an image for the location part of the infobox, even if it doesn't display everything in that region, at least there will be some image in the infobox as well as a map image. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  01:01, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Wrong Letter
Sorry about. I didn't find an article for that letter though.

AutoBlood (talk) 20:50, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Martin Septim
Thats 100% better then the old one. I think he put on his royal robes once, twice if there is a bug during one of the battles.

Great job, keep up the good work.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 03:16, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Errors
Do you mean the table gets extra gaps? I'm not sure why that happens, the blockquote tag also does this which is why I stopped using it. It is probably a wikia problem that we have no control over.

Jimeee (talk) 10:12, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Miscarcand (Quest)
Image sources should actually be on the image page instead of the quest page. Inline references are used to source texts taken from other sources/websites. I've added the correct image sourcing to the 2 image pages and revised the quest page. Other than that, the page looks good! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:40, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Higher Resolution
I'm afraid I will not be able to upload higher quality images as that is of the highest quality I can take it in.

AutoBlood (talk) 19:42, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'm obviously not very knowledgable on how it works, but as far as I know, after I take a picture, it gets compressed to a smaller image so the resolution is better. Hope that helps.

AutoBlood (talk) 20:08, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess so. Atleast there is an image there for the time being.

AutoBlood (talk) 20:11, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for doing that.

AutoBlood (talk) 20:18, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Paradise (location)
Those other locations should all be on the Paradise (Location) page since they are sub-locations of Paradise. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:04, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Image to big in inbox
I had to make adjustments to the ShiveringIslesIngredient template. It was missing the Hybrid image part, which allows for resizing. About the Enchanter Philter page, I just redirected it to the Potions (Skyrim) page. Those potions really don't need a separate page, but should eventually all be listed on a the potions page. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:54, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Blogs and forums
Hey,

Do you know if patrollers have any real power to keep the topics on topic? By this i mean can we remove comments and stuff like that?

I would ask tomb but she gets alittle irritated when i ask about things i should know after editing for a year :P Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:44, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Shivering Isles
I've finished adding onto and fixing all the stubs in the Shivering Isles section, besides locations and Jyggalag's Favor. Because of this, I've decided to try and make an attempt at helping with the locations stubs. I'm afraid of interfering with your work in that area, so I wanted to know where you would like me to start. Tarkastio (talk) 22:14, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, I understand. Please pardon my mistakes.


 * But by size, do you mean actual size (Not the 1920-950 that I usually use) or actual shape of the image (Being more akin to a square as opposed to more rectangular?). If it is necessary, I will also attempt to use only day/brighter images for the main picture, and use night images exlusively for the galleries.


 * I am also curious how much flexibility I have concerning editing other's images. I've seen a large quantity of images for Morrowind that have the GUI in them, and I was curious if I was allowed to cut the GUI out for those.


 * Thank you for your time.Tarkastio (talk) 20:44, March 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Aye, sorry, I'll redo Brevi momentarily. I didn't catch the specific size of the character image the first read through. Tarkastio (talk) 23:16, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

No problem
It's cool, don't worry about it :) The page is linked from elsewhere which is why it was created by that guy, but I just had not got around to making it up.

Re: US Spelling
Hey Ebony,

I saw your comments on DarthOrc's talk page about US spelling, and I would like to say that it is policy on the wiki to use American spelling if at all possible. I forgot where it is though, but it's somewhere in the style/formatting pages. Later! Kroq-gar78 (talk) 19:02, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

U.S. spelling
Greetings & Salutations - We say to use U.S. spelling because that is what TESWiki's style guidelines say is required. It's all there in plain english on the page "The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Style and formatting" in section 1.2 - Tone and language. DarthOrc (talk) 12:02, March 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * If a word ends up with 'our', it should be double checked; colour vs color, armour vs armor, for instance. When the spell check is active (it usually is on when one is in source mode, but not always, for some reason), such words will have a red underlining. Unfortunately, the spell checker isn't always correct, and in game place/person names often show up as incorrect even when they aren't. We put the note about using U.S. spelling as a courtesy, not to disparage anyone, and we will continue to do so, so don't take it personally. we will leave out the "please", though, since it irritates you.DarthOrc (talk) 12:26, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Merging small articles
Yes, I think it would be okay to merge info from Jyggalag's Favor to Heart of Order. Just redirect the old page. You know what to do. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:25, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

MOTM
Thanks for the congratulations on the MOTM. You've been a great help to me on this wiki.

RE: Sorry CCC
Dont worry about it, you have been helping with things far more important then some random containers. Next time i need some images ill let you know.

Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:42, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re:For another future project
I would actually like to stick with the template for the castles in Oblivion as it allows for a seal image to be used, and looking at how the other castle pages look with the usual location template, it looks a bit strange. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:48, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Weapon Stubs, Images
Hello there,

I was curious about the Oblivion Weapon Stubs section. A large quantity of them seem to be filled out as much as is useful, yet still have stub status. This section pretty much seems to possess every single weapon in Oblivion, and I was curious about why this is, and what information must I add to make articles like Ebony Claymore to be considered full enough?

Thanks for your time. Tarkastio (talk) 03:48, March 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Alright, I will make sure to message TombRaiser or Jimeee later. I thank you for your input.


 * I understand your request for rectangular images. I was uploading square images only because I had remembered something mentioned that it was preferred having square images, so I stuck with that. If this was not the case I wish you could have corrected me sooner. :P


 * Both of the recent characters I couldn't really get in other poses or to stop moving. If they are inadequate, I will go make the necessary fixes with a more liberal use of console commands. The location images will be much easier to redo, as I keep an unaltered version of all images on my computer for situations like this.


 * Thank you for your time! Tarkastio (talk) 08:54, March 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry it took me so long to reply and/or get anything done. My internet gave out at around 1AM in the morning, and I had no real desire to wait it out that late at night.


 * I've always used the "tfc" and "tm" commands, but I've never thought of using "tai", thank you. I was curious about how you make transparent backgrounds, I had tried by hand and that seemed a bit too time-consuming to be feasible, especially when you are trying to get full sets of armor or weaponry. If there is some better way, please do tell.


 * I'll do whatever fixes are necessary, but as it stands it appears as if I need to retake and/or re-edit every screenshot I've uploaded. Tarkastio (talk) 22:37, March 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think I understand what you are doing different than I. You sound as if you draw a polygon select around the shape and then move that to a blank layer. I was trying to actually make the area around the item transparant, the hard way. In retrospect, Doing it your way should have been obvious.


 * I'm using Paint.Net, which to my admittedly lacking knowledge I believe it is similar to Photoshop. I also admit I don't know how to utilize most of Paint.Net's features, as I've never really had a need for using them. And although I appreciate the offer, I should go fix my own mistakes concerning the Shivering Isles items. Tarkastio (talk) 23:25, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Aureal and Golden Saint
Yes, go ahead and merged the contents of Aureal to Golden Saint (Shivering Isles). I would omit the section about ranks, at least the ranks that are not used in the game. Also, since you're merging this page, might as well merge Mazken with Dark Seducer. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:10, March 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Awesome! I'll remove the protection status on Dark Seducer...wow, it was protected since 2011! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:31, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Question
I think because people saw that most of the Skyrim Inns and Taverns had the sign as the infobox image that that was the way it was supposed to be. Actually, I don't think this at all. All locations should display the actual location in the infobox instead of the sign. I've only seen this being done on Skyrim Inn/Tavern pages, because on Oblivion and Morrowind Inns/Taverns pages, the location is shown. Let's move to signs to the gallery and the location to the infobox. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:31, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Jesper redirect
Hey Ebony. The page Jesper will have the redirect shown on the Jesper (Skyrim) page. Click on Jesper and it will take you to the Jesper (Skyrim) page. Below the name Jesper (Skyrim) you will see the redirected link "redirected from: Jesper". Click on that link to open that redirected page and make your disambiguation page. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:38, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Knights of the Nine
I have done the Knights of the Nine quest, and if you have more than 1 infamy point, then you have to walk the Pilgrimage to each shrine again. Did you do some bad things since then? :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:53, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
