 * Looks like Timeoin already took care of it. 02:58, June 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * In that case never mind.

User problem
hey tomb i seem to have a problem with user Alllhail15, he is calling people who are chosing the side of the dawngaurd tards. could something be done? (Twilightdragongod (talk) 17:30, June 2, 2012 (UTC))

Thanks for the quick action
Thanks for taking care of the problem user. He was creating pages almost faster than I could delete the content from them. I didn't have a chance to report them. —GramsJ (talk) 02:35, June 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem :) I just happened to log in right about the same time that was going on. Looks like today has been a busy day for vandals. 02:42, June 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have another one: 98.17.159.52 GramsJ (talk) 03:58, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

A question
I'm familiar with editing (since I mostly spend time on Nukapedia), but I'm curious about somthing. Do you decapitalise pages (like My House to My house) or is it best left capped? Also, the link on the The Vault is wrong - can you change it to Nukapedia? MS: Destiny conquers all. (talk) 18:57, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Well, can you change it to this? ]]) http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki|Nukapedia We had a name change in December 2011, so that is why I'm asking for that. MS: Destiny conquers all. (talk) 19:11, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

More Categories down the drain -- sort of
Heya, I got those last 3 categories done, including editing a couple of culprit templates. Some of the pages are being stubborn and want to stick around on the category pages though. Also, the Skooma page is locked. The list of categories that I thought should be removed include: There are lots more than these, but these are just for starters. GramsJ (talk) 22:18, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ancient Nordic Tomb
 * Animals
 * Apparel
 * Battleaxes
 * Battles of the Oblivion Crisis
 * Black Marsh
 * Blacksmiths
 * Blackwood Company
 * Blackwood Company Members
 * Bliss
 * Book Covers (merge with Books)
 * Bookstores (would go under Elchzard's Merchant's category?)
 * Browse
 * Browser Userboxes (made by and used by one user)
 * Buoyant Armigers
 * Children (categorize by city?)
 * Comics? (hwat do comics have to do with TES?)
 * Comic Covers?
 * Comics Single Panels?
 * Crucible
 * Hoaxes
 * Jewelry

Okay, I'll work on the list per your response and give you some more a little later :). About "Items," I somewhat agree that is is probably not needed as a category, but I think we should keep "Miscellaneous Items" for the ones that don't fit in any of the specific item categories. And we'll need to do a redirect for Battle Axes to Battleaxes (or vice versa) since Bethesda couldn't make up their minds between the games :). Isn't this fun? GramsJ (talk) 23:36, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

It's Battleaxes in Skyrim, Battle Axes in Oblivion, and both in Morrowind. How's that for consistency? GramsJ (talk) 00:10, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Sanguine Quest
Hey,

I was trying to update a article and i noticed that there's no article for the Sanguine quest in Oblivion. Is there a reason for this or did something get overlooked?

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:43, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned pages
sure thing, sorry bout that. Jaymz6 (talk) 02:31, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Photo names
Hey

I was wondering if there was a way to rename photos? alot of pics on the wiki have no true names so are impossible to look up if somebody wanted to. If pics could be renamed or better accessed by putting them in category's it would be a little easier for the wiki to find, use, and remove photos when needed.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 00:37, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

It makes sense to only let admins rename them, i could see that being harder to fix then an article being renamed.

And ill take a look at the pics and making sure they are in the right category's, ive been looking for something and this might keep me busy. Besides making sure there templates are in order, is there anything else i should know, like what to do with certain images or something else i might come across?

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:33, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the help. We don't use Facebook much and don't know alot about it, so any link was inadvertant. On a different topic, our Khajiit who has completed all of the Daedric quests was retrieving a book in Morvunskar for Urag gro-Shub when he met Sanguine, who was fighting the mages there. After the fight, when he was spoken to, all he will say is "I don't owe you money, do I?" We cannot find any reference to this on the Wiki. Do you know anything about it? Again, ThanksDarthOrc (talk) 01:28, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

We agree the comments he made are generic, it is the fact he was there fighting the Mages that piqued our interest.DarthOrc (talk) 02:33, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

 * Haha. Ok. I'm logging in. :P 18:41, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Checking In
Hey there, First I want to apologize for not getting to those last two category deletions in a timely manner. By the time I did, there was nothing to delete. Second, I wanted to ask what criteria is used to decide when to delete an armor item page (or any page, for that matter)? I noticed you deleted Warforger's Gauntlets after I took the time to add an image and make some additions. I would rather not spend time on pages that will end up being deleted, if you know what I mean. Finally, I have an infobox formatting question: Most of our infoboxes are now set up with a pre-defined image size. How do we override that image size if we need to? Do you happen to be familiar enough with the syntax for making image size conditional -- by this I mean, if none is provided then size=default, otherwise size=999px? Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 17:38, June 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. I knew there was at least one infobox that had an override. I just couldn't find it. That helped. Regarding the non-unique armor pieces and weapons: does that mean that all of those pages will end up being deleted? Do you know if someone is working compilation pages so they will be covered somewhere in a table at the least? Just wondering. GramsJ (talk) 21:55, June 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Putting the override in was easier than I thought. Thanks again. And thanks for the other info. GramsJ (talk) 01:13, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

User images
Hey,

I wanted to know if the wiki enforces the user image rule where a editor can only upload three images for there wall. There are a few editors i have come across that have more then three and i didn't know if i should ask them to remove some or if it was better to simply handle larger matters.

simply put, how should i handle profiles with more then three images?

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:54, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Another thought regarding deleted articles
This morning I had a thought regarding non-unique armor and weapons as I was reviewing some edits: while the stats can be covered sufficiently in a table, what if the wiki user is looking for where to find the item? Wouldn't the table become quite unwieldy if we tried to include that information, given the number of NPCs that might use the item? Like I said - just a thought, so I thought I'd ask the question. GramsJ (talk) 15:43, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Thank...F***ing...God
I come on for 5 seconds to see one guy vandalize 6 different pages multiple times, resulting in me pinging the idling admins in chat multiple times, I lost half an hour of sleep over that guy, god bless you

Thank you so much for thinking of me.

Achievements mistakes
Hi Tombraiser!

I looked at the achievements that a User can earn on the wiki, and I saw one call "Earl of Whiterun". I'm pretty sure its "Jarl" though. I just wanted to know if you could fix it, becuase your an administrator, or if you know somebody else who can fix it. Thanks, The Rim of The Sky. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 18:05, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've corrected the error just now. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:09, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks,and can you edit the Elder Scrolls Online template (Template:Online) its kind of wierd compared to others. (Looks bold and has different font) That would be great.

(The font I`m using is kind of messed up, sorry)

Thanks The Rim of the Sky (talk) 18:33, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Online template looks fine to me. It doesn't have any bold characteristics in the template. It's only italicized text. It could be the formatting on the page in question needs to be changed. On which page are you seeing this bolding and different font? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:50, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:09, June 16, 2012 (UTC) It was boldish when I used it. Someone might have changed it, sorry. I will double-check.

The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:14, June 16, 2012 (UTC) This is how it looked for me: 

I'm guessing it was the Stros M'kai page. It was bold because the template was enclosed in the apostrophe ( ) tags, which is not needed if you use the (Online:Template). — TombRaiser  SPEAK!'   

Oh, OK. I saw the achievements again and saw that Unbound has a ! at the end of it which doesn`t make any sense. Can you please edit it, I would appreciate it. I hope I`m not overworking you or anything. 19:20, June 16, 2012 (UTC) The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:25, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll check it out later. I have to go for now — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:32, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

patroller color
Hey,

First off, thanks again for making me patroller. Second, i was wondering if this means i need my name in yellow now, and if so how to i edit my Signature to make is so

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:40, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Image template
Hey,

Im thinking we need a new set of image template for Arena, Bloodmoon, And Dawnguard pics. I have been unable to organize images from these games and i have seen alot of images from these games this week, and i have a feeling we will be seeing alot more of these images soon.

Happy Editing

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:51, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

PS. to be more precise, an Arena Map template would be all that needed for Arena, the others Cheatcodechamp (talk)

Thanks, all those arena maps being unmarked was driving me slightly crazy. Take your time on the others, im in no rush.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:20, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Doublecheck
If you get a chance can you check my work on Nine Divines (Faction)? I think I got too speculative on it. Also did Knight of the Nine, been staring at these pages for the last like 4hr, if you could just let me know if they are okay or if I need to touch up something i would be grateful.Jaymz6 (talk) 05:52, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Patroller
Hey TombRaiser,

Sorry I'm annoying you with these stupid nooby questions, but I read about the page how to become a patroller. Now I'm very interested in becoming one. Do you people choose the ones who become a patroller or are there certain things the person needs to do?

I will be glad with any answer,

 * This issue has been addressed. -- 15:53, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Morrowind Locations Category
Am i correct in assuming that the "Morrowind Locations" category shouldn't contain locations that are in itself? Or should all locations in be categorized under both "Morrowind Locations" and "Morrowind: Locations"? Dar&#39;Rajhin (talk) 05:22, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Missing you!
Hey you! I see you, stranger! Editing our pages! How's it going! I see your pictures on facebook everyday. Hope you're enjoying yourself. We all miss you on the IRC! Please come back to us :P -- 02:19, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes! Isn't it exciting! I bugged Elchzard into doing it! We also changed the background on Special:NewPages. It's not vomity-beige anymore. There were some other things I wanted to say, but I forgot. As far as Dawnguard goes, I still haven't played it either, but I'm helping out where I can. Definitely stressful what with all the new editors. Most of them appear to be new to wikis in general. Hopefully we can turn a few of them into lasting veterans. Anyway, can't wait to see more pics of your adventures! Take care! -- 02:50, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

is there anyway to delete a blog? (Twilightdragongod (talk) 04:05, July 9, 2012 (UTC))

Template Request
Hey Tomb,

I know you just got back and everything, but myself and another user need a new set of image licence templates for dawnguard and i suck utterly at that (i try but i seem to jack things up bad) if you could make them when you get the time that would be great.

We are in no rush, we have alot of other images to work on fixing.

Thanks and happy editing

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:40, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Most of the images are Dawnguard Weapons and armor, i think we have a few maps as well.

Luck for us the rest of the images Halo posted so Balagog and i dont need to organize them.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:05, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Template thing
Sorry about the template on my user page, I just wanted to see what it does. You said user pages can't have categories but I saw some patroller guy named G0LD3NF1R3, I think that was his name. He has his User page in the category "TESWikians". I thought User pages could have categories, after all he is a patroller and TESWikians is a reasonable category to put user pages in. Maybe you should talk to him too.

Patroller template
Sorry about that. I misunderstood the method of adding it. It's fixed now. GramsJ (talk) 06:26, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

No problem.
Thanks for the message, and a reply to what you said - I added around 5 pictures when Dawnguard came out, and I just got back to Skyrim so I will add any pictures I see missing. :) OH, and a question -- how do you add a picture to an article? I always press upload on the article and then I upload the image, but it never adds it to the article and I don't see an option to do so. So, is it a thing only for certain members, or am I just missing something? Dnyx (talk) 04:46, July 20, 2012 (UTC)Dnyx

In response to YOUR response to my question, yes, that is all I needed to know.. lol. Thank you. Dnyx (talk) 04:58, July 20, 2012 (UTC)Dnyx

Weapon values
Hi! I am currently level 62 and I have just completed the quest Hard Answers. Upon receiving the Nightingale Blade, I noticed that it has significantly higher stats than the listed maximum on its page. My blade has a base damage of 29, a weight of 15, and a value of 2050. Do the blades stats increase with every level beyond 46 (the best version available as stated by the article)? If so, how do I go about finding out what the level requirement is for this version of the blade? I just wanted to be sure about this before making any edits to the weapon's page. Thanks in advance for any insights!

SwordOfTheJables (talk) 01:14, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
