Hey Jspoel, havent spoken in a while, but i was just wondering if there was any help that you needed to do with Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas? It's just that I havent been editing for a while now, and would like to be more active on the wiki. Please message back if so.

I'm going to have it where someone will bring up a point thoroughly and only when they're finished can people give their thoughts on the matter. Only one person at a time so it doesn't turn into a huge chaotic mess. Let me know if you have any preferences on how things are run at the meetings.

'''Bethesda Game Studios''' (BGS) is the in-house development team led by [[Todd Howard]] and owned by Bethesda Softworks. Not all BGS titles are published by Bethesda Softworks. "Bethesda Softworks" is often used to designate games "published" by Bethesda, both BGS projects and those developed externally.

===''Fallout 3''===
 
In 2004, Bethesda licensed the rights to develop ''[[Fallout 3]]'' and two additional sequels from [[Interplay Entertainment]], and in 2007 acquired the whole ''[[Fallout series|Fallout]]'' franchise. [[Todd Howard]] said in January 2007 that "We started work ''[on ''[[Fallout 3]]'']'' in late 2004 with a few people. We only had about 10 people on it until Oblivion wrapped, but most of our staff is on it now."

Thanks for thinking of me, J. You guys take your time. -[[User:SigmaDelta54|<span style="color:Teal">SigmaDelta54</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:SigmaDelta54|<span style="color:DarkSlateGray">(Talk)</span>]]</sup> 18:29, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
''Fallout 3'' was released on October 28, 2008 and has won over 60 Game of the Year Awards – including honors from IGN, the Game Developers' Choice Awards and Game Critics Awards. Bethesda has continued to support ''Fallout 3'' with five [[Fallout 3 add-ons|add-ons]] – ''[[Operation: Anchorage (add-on)|Operation: Anchorage]]'', ''[[The Pitt (add-on)|The Pitt]]'', ''[[Broken Steel]]'', ''[[Point Lookout (add-on)|Point Lookout]]'' and ''[[Mothership Zeta (add-on)|Mothership Zeta]]''.

===''Fallout: New Vegas''===
 
In 2009, Bethesda announced ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', a new entry in the ''Fallout'' series. Developed by [[Obsidian Entertainment]] and published by Bethesda itself, it was released in October 19, 2010 in the US and October 22 in the UK.

Thanks so much to you and Clyde for giving me the green light on this! I can't express how happy and relieved I am. There's still room to improve, but I will execute my duties to the best of my ability.

On January 28th, Bethesda Softworks announced a deal made with [[Namco Bandai]] to let it publish ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' in Australia and New Zealand.

== Favor ==
Other notable series by Bethesda Softworks include [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls The Elder Scrolls], the series of which Oblivion is the 9th title and the 4th main title. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are based on the same engine as Oblivion. They also published other games such as WET and Rogue Warrior.

Can I ask you for one? I am currently looking for 4 images for a pet project of mine. When a talking head comes up in FO1/2, they show up on a sort of miniature television. (As you already know.) I am just looking for the cut out images of the vacuum tubes on the left side and the speaker on the right side. I am also looking for the vent and the review button found to the left of the dialogue tree and the Barter/Tell me about/Vault logo to the right of the dialogue tree.

==User conduct==
[[pl:Bethesda Softworks]]
 
  +
I think we need to make it a point to clarify that the [[Fallout Wiki:User conduct guideline]] applies to chat as well. Cartman used this in an argument as that it only applies to the editing side of things, which is incorrect. How hard is it really to interpret simple rules? What do you think?--[[User:Kingclyde|Kingclyde]] 21:34, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

::'''''"Assume good faith: Do your best to assume that other editors are trying to help unless you have evidence to the contrary. Accidents happen, and not everybody has a lot of experience with editing a wiki. "'''''
  +
::If this is what you're referring to... this is definitely about edits and the final sentence confirms that, it doesn't mean I can't assume bad faith when strangely coincidental biased voting occurs. --[[File:233345-cartman1_tiny.gif|25px|User:Cartman!|link=User:Cartman!]]<sup>[[File:User Avatar talk.png|x13px|User talk:Cartman!|link=User talk:Cartman!]]</sup> 22:48, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
  +
:::Whilst there is nothing wrong with Cartman's interpretation, its not the only way to interpret it. To me, the rule is the bold bit on the page, and the non bold stuff whilst helps guide it, doesn't necessarily limit the rule.
  +
:::In any case there are 4 main methods to interpret statutes, and if we accept Cartmans proposition that the bold bit is a part of the rule and must be read along with it (Which I guess follows best the Literal rule - Basically it says what it says and thats all it says), I think the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischief_rule mischief rule] is more appropriate, the rule is there to stop a certain behaviour (Namely discourage disputes over misunderstandings in ambiguous statements and actions) and thus can be applied in chat, fora, talk pages, etc already. [[User:Agent c|Agent c]] 23:03, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
  +
::::Again I'm just going to have to say no. If we read the rule alone it talks about editors and editing only and ends with "Accidents happen, and not everybody has a lot of experience with editing a wiki" which I consider pretty clear and literal. But if we do actually examine the rule as well as the section, you'll notice that it's in a section addressing editors with such guidelines as "do not start an edit war" which, quite clearly, applies to editing. You'll also notice that "talk and forum pages" have their own rules section entirely. We really don't need to start over-complicating this especially when it quite clearly states in itself that it is referring to editing conduct in regard to accusations of vandalism. The attempts to incriminate me are simply going too far when people are trying to paint me as a bad guy for pointing out a coincidence on a forum vote in "bad faith". --[[File:233345-cartman1_tiny.gif|25px|User:Cartman!|link=User:Cartman!]]<sup>[[File:User Avatar talk.png|x13px|User talk:Cartman!|link=User talk:Cartman!]]</sup> 23:32, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Just realized how vague I was before. So, something like [http://planetfallout.gamespy.com/images/fullsize/39/PC/Fallout/Screenshots/Talking-head this] with each of the sides outside of the character portrait and dialogue tree cut out to fit in the left and right columns [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User:GarouxBloodline/sandbox2 here.] You can find what I'm working on under the 1st experiment.

:I really appreciate that, and they both turned out perfect on my experiment. I can always rely on you, especially when it comes to images. :D Hate to bother you more over this, but I was wondering if I could get two more sides cut out? The ones that contain the barter/tell me about buttons on the right side and the review button and the (vent?) on the left side.

:::I would really appreciate it! This is giving me a good learning experience for how templates work and how to size things up properly.

::::It looks pretty damn good! It was a little too big to have speakers on both sides at SNM, as it cut it out half way through, but I just went ahead and removed the second set as it looks fine with just one.

Hey Jspoel. Sorry for the confusion on the user rights change proposal, these changes have been really getting to me recently and I had to reread it a few times.

== Issue with the Chat name ==

Hi Jspoelstra. This isn't an issue in your wiki's JS but the name has been cached on our server. I believe this is because the Chat has never been empty since the sitename was changed, so the Chat room hasn't been "recreated" with the name Fallout Wiki. I'm passing this on to the team responsible for Chat to see how it can be fixed. :) Cheers, [[User:Grunny|<span style="color: #5a83d6;">'''grunny'''</span>]]<staff /><span style="color: #5a83d6;">''':&#126;$'''</span> 13:04, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

:Possibly. That's just my theory based on some quick testing, so if you're willing to try that, have everyone leave and then join after everyone has left for a little while, it ''might'' fix it. If it doesn't, then we'd have to wait until one of the engineers who works on chat to get back to me.

== Lucky Horseshoes ==
  +
  +
Hi
  +
About Lucky Horseshoes with Festus at Fallout: New Vegas.
  +
It says there is no way for draw, yet it can end with scores i.e. 22-20, 25-17, etc.
  +
In which case both are equally close to 21, and it doesn't bumb up one at that point. Festus itself didn't mention about this, but when I got that situation few times myself, to me it seemed like the bigger would be the winning one; in mentioned cases 22 and 25.
  +
I first tryed checking here but didn't find anything about it, and small things bothers my mind.
  +
Just though to mention/ask if anybody here knows/'wants to confirm' the correct answer.
  +
I didn't have slightest of clue where to distress this subject at this fallout wikia, so I just gave a random shot to place it here. Advice me to do better if needed. --[[User:John Acey|John Acey]] 16:11, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
  +
  +
  +
I don't think it works like that.
  +
Few scenarios:
  +
1. Festus got first 25, and I then got 17. Festus then decided to hold, so I decided to hold too. Where Festus said that if you hold now you lose, so let's just pretend you drew, and gave me a card. Which was a 10, so either Festus is a cheater..
  +
2. I first got 26, and then Festus got 16, I holded on 26 but Festus drew more, he then got 8 and won me with 24.
  +
To me it seems like if players get equally close with lower and bigger, then the one that got there first has the advantage, no matter if he has the lower or the bigger. I'm playing PC version. --[[User:John Acey|John Acey]] 10:55, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

==Using the Info Boxes for videos==
  +
Hey, I need some information on something, I know you're pretty high up here but if you're not the person I need to go to with this please direct me in the right direction.
  +
  +
I make youtube videos, and my main content is playthroughs. I finished a playthrough of Fallout 3 and enjoyed making it very much. I plan on doing a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas in the summer when I have more time for such a large project.
  +
  +
For this playthrough I have decided to go more in depth with the information I show, I plan on creating bios for all the unique weapons to go on screen while I'm talking about them, rather than just standing still and looking at the sky/ground in-game.
  +
  +
For these, I want to put damage stats and other information along with picture I take from the capture card in-game. I like the design for info boxes on your pages so much that I thought I would just crop a screenshot of them directly into the bio itself. Of cource, I would credit the website on screen and leave a link the video description directly to the website and specific page.
  +
  +
My question is: would I be allowed to do this? If so, what procedures would I need to go through?
  +
  +
Thanks,
  +

Check this out:
  +
*''Tranquility Lane''- the Fallout fanfiction wiki
  +
  +
I noticed that the Fallout fan fiction wiki associated with The Vault has not been moved away from Wikia. In addition, I have also noticed that they seem to be actively displaying a large link to Wikia's Nukapedia on their main page, Nukapedia being Wikia's greedy pseudo plagiarized attempt to steal users away from us by maintaing a mirror of the old Vault.
  +
  +
I could setup a wiki at Wikkii.net wiki hosting, which is basically the same features as setting up your own wiki with a professional web hosting company. We could also use our same falloutwiki.com domain name with it. I can go ahead and set it up if you'd be interested. All I'd really need here is for the link to the fanon wiki on the main page to be changed to the new one since they're apparently stabbing us in the back.
  +
  +
There's also a need to move the wiki away from Wikia, since their skin is hard to use, hard to read, hard to navigate, and they've apparently decided to sellout the wiki background as advertising space, meaning that every user sees meaningless kitsch on every page of the wiki, which just degrades it's content.

Hi Jspoel. I really appreciate the gesture to restore my chat mod rights, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline. If I ever do come back to this website as a regular member, and that's a big if, I'd more than likely stick to editing. As fun as chat is, it's not the main focus of this site. So again, I'm grateful that you restored my chat mod rights, but I'll have to respectfully decline. Thank you.

Revision as of 20:34, 16 April 2012

Help

Hey Jspoel, havent spoken in a while, but i was just wondering if there was any help that you needed to do with Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas? It's just that I havent been editing for a while now, and would like to be more active on the wiki. Please message back if so. --Jackasaurus 16:25, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Moderation

I'm going to have it where someone will bring up a point thoroughly and only when they're finished can people give their thoughts on the matter. Only one person at a time so it doesn't turn into a huge chaotic mess. Let me know if you have any preferences on how things are run at the meetings. Dragon Skål! 19:05, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

1st meeting is currently in a little less than 30 hours from now. Dragon Skål! 19:16, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Re:

Thanks for thinking of me, J. You guys take your time. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 18:29, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Admin

Thanks so much to you and Clyde for giving me the green light on this! I can't express how happy and relieved I am. There's still room to improve, but I will execute my duties to the best of my ability. Once again, thanks. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 20:25, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

By the way, my bar isn't displaying correctly. It still reads "Moderator", probably due to it being a specialised one. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 20:33, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
Oh ok. Thanks again. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 20:55, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Favor

Can I ask you for one? I am currently looking for 4 images for a pet project of mine. When a talking head comes up in FO1/2, they show up on a sort of miniature television. (As you already know.) I am just looking for the cut out images of the vacuum tubes on the left side and the speaker on the right side. I am also looking for the vent and the review button found to the left of the dialogue tree and the Barter/Tell me about/Vault logo to the right of the dialogue tree. Dragon Skål! 03:08, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Yep

The new wiki nav bar is cool. I'm used to it as well. As for the chat proposals, looks like they got shot down. --Kingclyde 18:43, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Achievement message

I don't know if this is a used achievement, but as I was looking for something else, I came upon MediaWiki:Achievements-badge-name-welcome. It still says "The Vault". I don't know if this needs to be changed or not. The Gunny 380px-USMC-E7 svg 20:38, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, J. I really can't tell much about either issue, since I can't get "under the hood" so to speak, and I'm also still pretty limited in knowledge. But it is real interesting to learn some more behind the scenes stuff about how this place works :). The Gunny 380px-USMC-E7 svg 21:16, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

User conduct

I think we need to make it a point to clarify that the Fallout Wiki:User conduct guideline applies to chat as well. Cartman used this in an argument as that it only applies to the editing side of things, which is incorrect. How hard is it really to interpret simple rules? What do you think?--Kingclyde 21:34, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Huh? I didn't say anything about chat at all >_> --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 22:45, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
"Assume good faith: Do your best to assume that other editors are trying to help unless you have evidence to the contrary. Accidents happen, and not everybody has a lot of experience with editing a wiki. "
If this is what you're referring to... this is definitely about edits and the final sentence confirms that, it doesn't mean I can't assume bad faith when strangely coincidental biased voting occurs. --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 22:48, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
Whilst there is nothing wrong with Cartman's interpretation, its not the only way to interpret it. To me, the rule is the bold bit on the page, and the non bold stuff whilst helps guide it, doesn't necessarily limit the rule.
In any case there are 4 main methods to interpret statutes, and if we accept Cartmans proposition that the bold bit is a part of the rule and must be read along with it (Which I guess follows best the Literal rule - Basically it says what it says and thats all it says), I think the mischief rule is more appropriate, the rule is there to stop a certain behaviour (Namely discourage disputes over misunderstandings in ambiguous statements and actions) and thus can be applied in chat, fora, talk pages, etc already. Agent c 23:03, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
Again I'm just going to have to say no. If we read the rule alone it talks about editors and editing only and ends with "Accidents happen, and not everybody has a lot of experience with editing a wiki" which I consider pretty clear and literal. But if we do actually examine the rule as well as the section, you'll notice that it's in a section addressing editors with such guidelines as "do not start an edit war" which, quite clearly, applies to editing. You'll also notice that "talk and forum pages" have their own rules section entirely. We really don't need to start over-complicating this especially when it quite clearly states in itself that it is referring to editing conduct in regard to accusations of vandalism. The attempts to incriminate me are simply going too far when people are trying to paint me as a bad guy for pointing out a coincidence on a forum vote in "bad faith". --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 23:32, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
Hey J. Just a friendly reminder: the new nav bar poll is finished. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 21:56, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Favour

Just realized how vague I was before. So, something like this with each of the sides outside of the character portrait and dialogue tree cut out to fit in the left and right columns here. You can find what I'm working on under the 1st experiment. Dragon Skål! 06:33, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

I really appreciate that, and they both turned out perfect on my experiment. I can always rely on you, especially when it comes to images. :D Hate to bother you more over this, but I was wondering if I could get two more sides cut out? The ones that contain the barter/tell me about buttons on the right side and the review button and the (vent?) on the left side. Dragon Skål! 16:50, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks again! Check out my sandbox if you get the chance and tell me what you think so far. Columns are giving me a little trouble, but I don't think we have any more forgiving templates that I can take advantage of. :P Dragon Skål! 18:29, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
I would really appreciate it! This is giving me a good learning experience for how templates work and how to size things up properly. Right now I'm teaching myself how to even create a backdrop. :P Hmm. I think all it needs is a little more height and that would be perfect. Stretch them out any more and it'll cut off part of the VA-table. Dragon Skål! 19:06, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
It looks pretty damn good! It was a little too big to have speakers on both sides at SNM, as it cut it out half way through, but I just went ahead and removed the second set as it looks fine with just one. As for my experiment, everything fits perfectly with no cut-outs. :) Dragon Skål! 19:45, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation

I know, but every time I rename a page - like Rick to Rick (Fallout) and want to create a new page, it just leads me to the Rick (Fallout). Clicking several times rename wn't work as well, so I really don't now how to. MS: Destiny conquers all. 14:01, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for noting that. MS: Destiny conquers all. 14:15, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Nav Bar and more

Hey Jspoel. Sorry for the confusion on the user rights change proposal, these changes have been really getting to me recently and I had to reread it a few times. And also, I noticed we've kept the new nav-bar so far. I'm fine with it, but according to the poll, many members of the community see otherwise. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 19:11, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

And also, could you do me a favour and present me with an award for the weapon condition project? Like Kas, I think it's better if someone else did it. You can find one The Gunny's user page. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 19:15, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
I see. And how about Cartman's reconfirmation request? It seems like most people have had their say, so perhaps the poll time could be reduced? -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 19:31, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi J, I'm putting together the news now. If you can gimme a shout on the plans for current votes that would be great. Agent c 19:46, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Let's roll it back to the old one. Maybe at another time we can try it again. I like it other than the fact that i have to be very careful when selecting things because it moves on me. But the community has spoken.--Kingclyde 20:05, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Transparency

This is the last favor I have to ask of you! It's not very important though, and I'm definitely in no rush, so feel free to say no or take your time. :) I don't have the tools at my disposal to convert images into a transparent state, so I was wondering if you could help me out with that. The ones images I'm interested in would be these two: SNM banner.png | 683px-Strategic Nuclear Moose Logo PNG3- No Background.png Dragon Skål! 19:58, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Not sure what I'll do yet, but I'm going to have to come up with something to give you in return for your help. I'm very grateful for it. :) Dragon Skål! 20:50, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

User rights

I closed the poll so we can rewrite it. I like you proposal but I mainly wanted to remove the moderator position as it does not exist. That was my main goal.--Kingclyde 20:43, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Forum

I made the new forum header for votes specifically. That way the wiki discussion doesn't get clogged up. I answer a question in there that got buried by all the requests.--Kingclyde 21:01, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Chat me up, Baby.

If you have a few spare moments, is there any chance I could have a quick word with you in chat? The Gunny 380px-USMC-E7 svg 20:54, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Issue with the Chat name

Hi Jspoelstra. This isn't an issue in your wiki's JS but the name has been cached on our server. I believe this is because the Chat has never been empty since the sitename was changed, so the Chat room hasn't been "recreated" with the name Fallout Wiki. I'm passing this on to the team responsible for Chat to see how it can be fixed. :) Cheers, grunny:~$ 13:04, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Possibly. That's just my theory based on some quick testing, so if you're willing to try that, have everyone leave and then join after everyone has left for a little while, it might fix it. If it doesn't, then we'd have to wait until one of the engineers who works on chat to get back to me. Cheers, grunny:~$ 13:12, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Lucky Horseshoes

Hi About Lucky Horseshoes with Festus at Fallout: New Vegas. It says there is no way for draw, yet it can end with scores i.e. 22-20, 25-17, etc. In which case both are equally close to 21, and it doesn't bumb up one at that point. Festus itself didn't mention about this, but when I got that situation few times myself, to me it seemed like the bigger would be the winning one; in mentioned cases 22 and 25. I first tryed checking here but didn't find anything about it, and small things bothers my mind. Just though to mention/ask if anybody here knows/'wants to confirm' the correct answer. I didn't have slightest of clue where to distress this subject at this fallout wikia, so I just gave a random shot to place it here. Advice me to do better if needed. --John Acey 16:11, April 3, 2012 (UTC)


I don't think it works like that. Few scenarios: 1. Festus got first 25, and I then got 17. Festus then decided to hold, so I decided to hold too. Where Festus said that if you hold now you lose, so let's just pretend you drew, and gave me a card. Which was a 10, so either Festus is a cheater.. 2. I first got 26, and then Festus got 16, I holded on 26 but Festus drew more, he then got 8 and won me with 24. To me it seems like if players get equally close with lower and bigger, then the one that got there first has the advantage, no matter if he has the lower or the bigger. I'm playing PC version. --John Acey 10:55, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Great Mara

Hey Jspoel. I just realised: Great Mara only has rollback, not patroller rights. I thought since he's categorised as a "patroller", and even has the recognition and bar, he should be given the official patroller rights too. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 19:18, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Using the Info Boxes for videos

Hey, I need some information on something, I know you're pretty high up here but if you're not the person I need to go to with this please direct me in the right direction.

I make youtube videos, and my main content is playthroughs. I finished a playthrough of Fallout 3 and enjoyed making it very much. I plan on doing a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas in the summer when I have more time for such a large project.

For this playthrough I have decided to go more in depth with the information I show, I plan on creating bios for all the unique weapons to go on screen while I'm talking about them, rather than just standing still and looking at the sky/ground in-game.

For these, I want to put damage stats and other information along with picture I take from the capture card in-game. I like the design for info boxes on your pages so much that I thought I would just crop a screenshot of them directly into the bio itself. Of cource, I would credit the website on screen and leave a link the video description directly to the website and specific page.

My question is: would I be allowed to do this? If so, what procedures would I need to go through?

Thanks, - Puddy =]

Oh yeah. Sorry about that, I forgot. It's just that I've been categorising so many user page images that it didn't occur to me that I needed to copyright that one ;) I'll be sure to remember next time. -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 21:58, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Re:The Worst Doctor Ever

You're right. But I didn't think there'd by any links to such an arbitrary, subjectively-titled page. I'll keep it in mind. -SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:39, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey J. I need you mediate a little admin disagreement between Garoux and I. We're trying to decide on whether a single note in a "notes" or "behind the scenes" section should deserve a bullet point. For example, see this page. -SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:53, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Aighty then. Thanks. And could you check your email real quick? -SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 22:18, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Shatty555

Are you sure about removing that? I mean, I don't like it, but it's his user page after all. And it isn't insulting anyone else (limited to being either self-demeaning or facetious). -SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:26, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I'm very sorry about that. I thought he added it himself. My apologies. -SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:40, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

FO 1 and 2 badges.

J, what happened to the Fallout 1 and 2 badges here on the wiki? I must've done over at least 50 edits on the original Fallout characters, and no badge has appeared so far. Same for Fallout 2.

Concept art

Hi Jspoel. What copyright license should I put for concept art (like the Chevy Chase ones you just added)? SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 14:46, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Cartman!

Hey Jspoel. Just a quick reminder - Cartman's reconfirmation request ended yesterday, I'm sure the community is anxious to hear the final decision from you and Clyde. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 17:42, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... looks like you guys have agreed on it. After the last few votes, I knew it was going to happen. I certainly don't agree with it, but others definitely do. Hopefully this won't affect things too much beyond this. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:27, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Why do we even have votes if you and Clyde are just gonna do what you want? I'm very disappointed in this decision Jspoel, and I really hope you guys didn't do it just because you don't like Cartman. BILLYOCEAN Wanna talk? 00:44, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Attempted backroom deals

Check this out:

  • Tranquility Lane- the Fallout fanfiction wiki

I noticed that the Fallout fan fiction wiki associated with The Vault has not been moved away from Wikia. In addition, I have also noticed that they seem to be actively displaying a large link to Wikia's Nukapedia on their main page, Nukapedia being Wikia's greedy pseudo plagiarized attempt to steal users away from us by maintaing a mirror of the old Vault.

I could setup a wiki at Wikkii.net wiki hosting, which is basically the same features as setting up your own wiki with a professional web hosting company. We could also use our same falloutwiki.com domain name with it. I can go ahead and set it up if you'd be interested. All I'd really need here is for the link to the fanon wiki on the main page to be changed to the new one since they're apparently stabbing us in the back.

There's also a need to move the wiki away from Wikia, since their skin is hard to use, hard to read, hard to navigate, and they've apparently decided to sellout the wiki background as advertising space, meaning that every user sees meaningless kitsch on every page of the wiki, which just degrades it's content.

Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein aus Sturmkrieg Sektor (Contributions) (Edit Count) 02:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Anyways, I think we need to keep an eye on this user in case they get the funny idea to continue with their plan of stealing and then converting content over from the Wikia variant to a Curse variant. Dragon Skål! 04:02, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Unarmed special attacks

Hey, Js, I'd like your input on the new section I'm looking at for FONV unarmed weapons. I wanted to run it by you before I start adding it to all the pages. The Gunny 380px-USMC-E7 svg 15:43, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Redid the section, and added the extra info to Unarmed#V.A.T.S. Special Attacks. That looks better to me. You can check the same link as above. The Gunny 380px-USMC-E7 svg 23:05, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Stubs

Roger that. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:09, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I've finished going through the FO3 stubs, reducing it to around 10 pages (started out at around 45). I filled in information, fixed up, and reorganised pages, and for the ones that I couldn't add more in I left as stubs. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:51, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Integrity

I'm always keeping a vigilant eye out for our wiki. Not much escapes my gaze. ;) Can you come into chat for a moment? I want to run a re-opening proposition for an old project idea. Wanted to talk to you and Clyde first before writing it up next time I have a free moment. Dragon Skål! 23:13, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Flare

I moved the Flare (Fallout) page to Flare (Fallout and Fallout 2), since Mystery merged those pages earlier today. Now the links on the overview pages need updating. But before we go with that, what do you think? About the moving, article titles, and such? SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:22, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I thought that was a little impractical too, so I came to you. I think it's better this way, saved us a lot of trouble. Thanks. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 01:05, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Wellesley

Just added it to the page. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 19:31, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Your goal

I think you might want to find this statistic intersting - 3.863.683 is the number logged users! MS: Destiny conquers all. 20:49, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

At the home page, click the number in the sentence "A Fallout wiki with 15,301 articles" after the "Welcome to the Fallout Wiki" sentence- there are some statistics you might find interesting. The number of logged users is a proof that your task is going well. MS: Destiny conquers all. 21:05, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Quick question

Hi Jspoel. Could you tell me what __TOC__ means and what it does? SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:00, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for explaining that! SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 00:15, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Png pics.

Jspoel, I thought we should have .jpg pics instead of .png ones in the infoboxes. I added a picture of Little Bobby yesterday, and you replaced it with a .png one.

--Crimson Frankie -ArroyoTalk 17:54, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Get it. Thanks,

--Crimson Frankie -ArroyoTalk 18:48, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

A scenario in which

your Dutch nationality can come into great use here! Would you mind taking a look at this edit for me and decide whether or not it is valid? SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 18:44, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

That's what I thought! "Lost heap" didn't make much sense to me. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 19:12, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

what did i do to get banned yesterday? so i guess now we cant do any edits???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tunnle snakes RULE!!!!!!! (talkcontribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

I can hop on FNV later but I'm a bit busy now with schoolwork. What specifically do you need me to do? I can't take screenshots because I'm on Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 22:13, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

the reason i still added 6 was because i didnt read the message you sent me in time

Talk about luck

Hey Jspoel, just a fun little thing I found: this guy's one single edit here was the 437,000th edit, giving him the 10 point of luck badge! SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 01:06, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

whats the limit to notes??

Allright, I was being too kind eh? And look at you teaching me English ;) Both he/she and "they" are acceptable, but I prefer he/she, since using "they" in place of a singular noun is technically grammatically incorrect, although it's been used in English for a long time now. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 23:43, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Out of interest

What did the Dutch first refer to the 'New World' as as far as you know? Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 20:16, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the Americas, though Columbus discovering it is debatable: what's not is that he was pure evil and a sorry excuse for a human being, but do go on? ;) Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 20:22, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks J, I wasn't sure if you'd have had a different name to us at the earliest stage, and just wanted to check. Thanks for the help, and sorry for wasting your time Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 20:37, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Licence

Your wish is my command. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:15, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Quick question

I noticed in the original Fallout there is a world object called "mutated cabbage." I was wondering if I should post that in the Fallout and Fallout 2 world objects page, or if I should make it a page of its own? I have a screenshot already of the cabbage. I just wanted your opinion of what to do with it. TrailerParkApe TPA 07:31, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Pictures.

Thanks, J! It's my pleasure!
About the crosshairs, they were just stylistic elements to indicate that the quest was about killing a certain character or "disposing" of them, as the name of some of the quests are. But if they're not adequate, I'll keep in mind not to let them in the picture frame. ;-)
I'd also like to ask you how the licensing works, so I could do that and save you some time and trouble, since you have to go out there correcting my mistakes in the articles and filling them all with copyright details.
Other than that, thanks a lot for the support. I'll certainly help more with the pictures, since it's one of my missions here at Nukapedia.
See you later, mate! Cheers!

Chatmod rights

Hi Jspoel. I really appreciate the gesture to restore my chat mod rights, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline. If I ever do come back to this website as a regular member, and that's a big if, I'd more than likely stick to editing. As fun as chat is, it's not the main focus of this site. So again, I'm grateful that you restored my chat mod rights, but I'll have to respectfully decline. Thank you. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 23:08, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Common House

I'm adding the {{PAGENAME}} templates as per the project page. Are we not using that template for anything anymore? Because I always see you removing those. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 00:01, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

I totally understand that, but you must understand that I'm not adding those as a shot out of a cannon. The project page states that for the infoboxes to be marked as complete, they must have all of the infobox parameters listed on said page. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 00:06, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Alright, thanks. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 00:29, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

FO3 locations infobox fixing

Hey Jspoel, if you need my help on anything I'm free now. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 01:04, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

I'm on it. And if Jspoel's shouting for help, it's serious. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 01:18, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I've just noticed that too. I think I can manage with the template documentation and Tocino's talk page. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 01:20, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Alright, I just finished them all. Hopefully it's all good now. If you need anything else just give me a shout. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 02:17, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Got it. How about "Other"? I've seen quite a few of those and left it there, although there's usually no data for that field. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 02:29, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Unused images

Sure, that'll be easy enough. Are these automatically generated or do they contain the {{Unused}} template? SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 13:35, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. I can handle it, and maybe MS could too when he gets his rights. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 13:41, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
