CP

Why did you revert my edit? A bullet-list is only needed when more than one points are introduced. There was only one note, so why would we need it to have a bullet-point? Dragon Skål! 01:48, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

You have to remember that bureaucrats and administrators aren't infallible. Especially when many of our previous and current bureaucrats are foreign with English as a second language. Either way, common practice here has no sway over proper English and typography. Bullet-point-lists were created with the specific reason of having a symbol that could help a reader easily distinguish between multiple points presented within a list. There is no list or need for distinguishing if there is only one point. I hope you see where I'm coming from. :) Dragon Skål! 02:00, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
I understand your line of logic. I still have to say I don't agree with you here though. Just because there are consistent mistakes that end up making it into a vast amount of varied pages doesn't quite mean we should accept and embrace it. It simply means we need to clean-up our pages a little more. Dragon Skål! 21:41, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Naturally. :) Now that I'm done updating the Moose, I won't be on too much, but if my views need to be explained, just leave me a message on my talk-page. I'll be notified through my e-mail and I'll spare a moment to get back on. Dragon Skål! 21:46, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Don't worry, I'll still be lingering around for awhile. I just won't be doing any editing aside from reverting any vandals that I happen to see while I'm on. I never trust editing from my phone anyways. Dragon Skål! 21:50, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Noodles Revert

Why did you revert my edit? There is clearly no variants of Noodles. An empty space should be removed because there's no point of it being there. Vulpes-Inculta 21:19, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Yea, I know. But what I'm trying to say is what's the point of the Variants space if there is already Variants on that page but not in that section? Vulpes-Inculta 21:34, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Worst. Doctor. Ever.

That's Sawbones allright. There were still 3 links leading to it. Before you delete a page, you should check if there are still links leading to it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:37, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Bullet points

Stubs

Don't remove stubs before you check a page for needed content. Level Beta security badge has a quest in the infobox which can be explained/mentioned outside the infobox as a related quest. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:04, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Okay great! If you have any knowledge on the other and would like to help sort them as well that'd be great. The Australian Kiwi 21:54, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

FO3/FNV stubs

I've seen it, good work. Will be a bit of a special day when we clear the FO3 and the FNV stubs and it's not even that far away I think. But then the work's not done of course, still plenty more to do. Another thing, noticed your post to Agent c. I wouldn't comment too much on his number of edits on the VB pages. I'm glad enough as it is he's spending all that time on it and he's improving them remarkably. A few edits more doesn't really matter than. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:59, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Flare

Even better - the lit flare is basically same as un-lit one, just the damage and value is increased. MS: Destiny conquers all. 22:11, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Fallout and Fallout 2 pages are always merged to just Fallout, the flare page is good as it is right now with an infobox header and navbox directing to the version in both games. Also changed the navboxes data to the original. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 00:29, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

hey dude can you add a bugs section for Cachino ? its just i was doing the mission How Little We Know and when it came to killing big sal and nero something very creepy happened to cachinos body phisics that scared the crap outta me, really weird it was...

the glitch with cachino

dude if you know about the headspin glitch you shouldn't need to varify it. here is an example of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HerwCYeiS_o -- Darkblox

== == ah it appears i have forgotten the tag yes sorry, also i agree the glitch is very odd, sorta like the exorcist head spinning thing. well im on a PS3 and my friend on the PC has seen this before when talking to NCR rangers and sunny smiles. sometimes it is funny sometimes it is creepy but it is a glitch. its just random thought when it happenes, it can happen at the start like in that video or it can happen at then end after the battle over hoover damb, either way it exist and im sure alot of people have seen it before.

Wellesly

You removed the stub on Wellesley too soon. By checking What links here I found his name is found on the Third Street Municipal Building terminal entries. So that information needs to go on the Wellesley page. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 19:28, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Danny, thanks for editing my new page on Bobby. Feel free to correct any other mistakes there, as well as on the other page I created. I'm not a native English-speaker, so there may be some mistakes. Cheers, buddy!

--Crimson Frankie -ArroyoTalk 23:21, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Eager to learn?

It means table of contents. As you may have noticed, once you have more than 2 sections on a page, a table appears. You can use it to force a table of contents somewhere on the page where you want it (use: __TOC__ ). The related __NOTOC__ forces the table of contents not to appear.

Forlorn hope

Button Man

I'm working on removing infobox incomplete templates on pages on now I'm trying to get Button Man's refid. But I can't get as far in the How Little We Know quest to make him spawn. I want to show Cachino's journal to a Zoara bouncer but he is hostile in Gomorrah lower lobby so doesn't respond. And there seems to be one on the main level, near the door of the Zoara Club (see quest), but I can't find him. Probably that one is not hostile. Can you help out? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:09, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

The key thing is to find the Zoara bouncer near the Zoara club door during the quest. If you can locate him and tell me I can do the rest. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:20, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Nice page. Wasn't so sure what it was when I first saw it in changes, but nice to have articles like that. Thanks for fixing the Barnarky one... Trying to add it in a flash of inspiration on the bus and couldn't work out what the article was called, and the phone isn't a great way to research and edit. Agent c

1 day block for removing content from a main page is too kind. I changed it to 3. And 'they' is a generally accepted good alternative for 'he/she'. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 23:29, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, he/she or (s)he is generally accepted, but (and I'm sure this is just me), whenever I hear he/she, I think the subject of the sentence is a transvestite. --Kastera (talk) 00:34, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Radiation is notorious for its... unusual mutations, so it was bound to happen sometime. --Kastera (talk) 00:40, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
It was probably because I was more involved in the site for your first one and more intrigued to know when there would be enough admins elected to replace those lost in the move. When we got more admins, I lost interest in the elections and so I haven't been voting on admin, mod, or chat mod requests. I should probably vote on the next one if I want to continue being regarded as 'active' here. --Kastera (talk) 01:03, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Fo3 locations

Well as far as I (and the project page, for that matter) am concerned, the page says that ALL infoboxes must have the listed fields to be marked as complete. The edit in question was literally my second contribution to the project, so yes it is possible that I herped a derp at that time. I stand firmly and proudly by my other contributions, however. Also, if you're wondering about why I put my name on things that are already done, I'm not taking credit for them. I put my name in the progress table fields to show that I reviewed (and added in most cases) that the necessary additions (maps, infoboxes, rewrites, etc.) were properly in place. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 00:57, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I wasn't sure whether to remove the link to pipe wrench in the design documents or to create a sort of "dummy page".

Thank you! Kiwi 3992205

Feedback

Oh, sorry; I got you message and thought you were joking. Anyway, you're a living example that people can change for the better. After all, you left the site (momentarily) because an admin request wasn't going how you thought it would and you learned some great values from that experience;, some that probably help you as an admin. For example: how to take criticism. Every admin gets told off at least once in their term. You took the advice others gave you and you're a better man now because of it. You are also extremely polite and understanding, only seconded by Yes-Man (the Yes-Man a couple months ago, not the one in recent days). You can communicate well with others and explain your standpoint in an effective, yet polite, manner which is why everyone (should) listen to you. Overall, Nukapedia is lucky to have you as an admin. You sure you won't come over to The Vault? ;) --Kastera (talk) 18:51, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well, the editing software takes some time to get used to, but otherwise it's alright. Sorry that I didn't vote; I already explained what was going through my head at the time, but that's not an excuse. At least it all turned out for the best. --Kastera (talk) 19:17, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Because it belongs there

I put it there because it belongs there, as it is sort of a big thing now. How is it not relevant? It's in relation to a 600,00 word story that people read. If that isn't relevant, how the hell is news about wasteland any more relevant, when one of them at least carries the word fallout in the title? Did you not honestly take it down because of your own bias?

I'm not being smart with you, I'm being reasonable. And don't act like you did me a favor by saving it. I am not an idiot, I've made my own copy. Can you give me an actual reason other than "it clearly doesn't belong"? if anything its a testament to how popular fallout has become, and how far it has come.

                                                            -M.T.

Van Buren, Tactics, and BOS aren't confirmed canon, but they get supported simply because they are "official content"? Just curious here, what if it had the Bethesda/IP/Obsidian seal of approval on it?

                                                                 -M.T.


Reply 3

You said official content. What makes those games official content if it isn't who makes them? The fact that they have fallout in the name right? If they aren't made by the same people, and aren't canon, what is the difference?

                                                                      -M.T.

Just removed the infobox template from the Anchorage Memorial bridge (I'm trying to get rid of those templates). If there's not an own cell name or refid use the closest location (county sewer mainline). Btw, it still had cell as parameter, it needs to be cell name.

I'll admit I didn't check who added that note... @_@ The only exception listed on the guidelines are for exceptional quantities (so it would fit if there were eg 10+ jumpsuits).
