Hi there!
Welcome to the Vault!
Welcome to our Fallout wiki and thank you for your contributions! I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
A little help to get you started:
- Recent changes lets you see what other people are editing right this minute and where you can help. You can also check our community portal for things to do.
- If you haven't already, create a user page about yourself. If you do, we'll be able to know you better as a member of our community.
- If you have questions, you can ask in our forums, join the live chat in our IRC channel or post a message on my talk page.
- The help pages can help you learn how to edit and how use the wiki tools. The Vault's policies and guidelines can help you with putting those tools to good use and getting up to speed with our editing customs.
I'm glad to have you here and look forward to working with you!

Sniper Rifle
Why are you removing the information? The model looks identical to Fallout 3's Sniper, despite being in the same area as the Fallout Sniper. It's valid info. Nitty Tok. 23:41, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
- According to Chris Avellone, the engine is done. Dialogue is being tweaked and finalized. Nitty Tok. 13:07, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Machine Gun
I moved it to Light Repeating Rifle, because it's more like the Fallout 2 Light Support Weapon. It's lacking a scope, and a bipod, and the second grip, but those could be more weapon mods. :P Nitty Tok. 22:46, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- The M60 has a very defined barrel to it that's absent on this gun. Besides, the name Machine Gun is a bit much considering it's a light machine gun at best. Nitty Tok. 22:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Naw, it's fine. I'm not gonna ban you or anything. :P In addition, the M60 has a square... grip thingy on the underside of the barrel, while the LSW and LRR have a circular one. Nitty Tok. 22:55, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- We're gonna hafta change it later anyway, y'know. When the game comes out, the article will be renamed and everything. I think its best if we leave it ambiguous as to what its design is derived from, like the Chinese assault rifle. Nitty Tok. 23:02, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Block
Well, I guess that means that one of your neighbors or family members have vandalised the Vault. I didn't think that banned folks could edit pages, though, and I blocked the Axe guy a while before our little M60/LSW spat... Nitty Tok. 23:41, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
Mr. Bishop
VonVince, I have reverted your edit on the Mr. Bishop page. I'm not as knowledgable as you about Mr. Bishop but Ausir is, and when he's reverting edits it's for a good reason. Don't change the page again before talking about it with Ausir, maybe this way you can come to an agreement. Jspoel

Mr. Bishop
Please stop edit-warring. The latest Mr. Bishop is indeed the Chosen One's son, with the ending stating so being canonized after Bruce in Fallout: New Vegas makes reference to Mr. Bishop in the exact same manner as the ending in Fallout 2 does. Now that Bethesda owns the Fallout franchise, they are able to create their own canon, and without a Fallout Bible to guide us anymore, we must rely on how Bethesda chooses to handle notable characters from the original games. For a perfect example, there is Harold: who has now been planted seemingly permanently in the Capitol Wasteland.

- If you want further information to back up this canon, just look at the dates: Meeting Mr. Bishop in Fallout 2 takes place somewhere around the time frame of 2241. Meeting Bruce Isaac in Fallout: New Vegas where he makes reference to the latest son of the original Mr. Bishop takes place around the time frame of 2281. That's only a 40 year difference, with canon stating that the Chosen One's son dies at the age of 70. So taking that along with common sense, I'm seeing plenty of evidence supporting that the newest generation of Mr. Bishop is indeed the Chosen One's son. The only thing that we still don't know is who the Chosen One ended up impregnating.

- I really don't care how you're personally seeing it, you are indeed edit-warring, and I really don't appreciate it. Especially since this is not the first time you've edit-warred with this wiki over Mr. Bishop. In any case, all evidence points towards the Mr. Bishop being referred to in Fallout: New Vegas as being the Chosen One's son. Bruce Isaac's comments almost perfectly mirror the ending dialogue in Fallout 2 where the Chosen One impregnates either Mrs. Bishop or her daughter, along with the fact that the dates I mentioned in my earlier comment match up perfectly with that ending slide. And then there's the fact that Bethesda even mentioned the latest Mr. Bishop in the first place. Why would they have a random unnecessary person in a back-alley town making an unnecessary reference to a Mr. Bishop that has had nothing to do with any Fallouts so far? They wouldn't. They were clearly making reference to the latest Mr. Bishop being the Chosen One's son. Some Assembly Required! 22:59, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
- That's kind of the problem: You have never attempted to start up any sort of formal discussion over this. History shows you have only edit-warred with multiple other users, only stopping after the page is forced to be locked down; like now. In any case, the evidence I mentioned is more than enough to convince me that this information is canon. If you'd like, you can ask other members, but I'll go ahead and warn you now that this topic has already been discussed thoroughly in the past, just like whether or not the Chosen One was canonically male. (This has been proven, too.) If you truly feel that this is speculation, and that our evidence holds no merit, then may I suggest asking Sawyer himself over his FormSpring? He's been a boon to us many times in the past to confirm canon and references. Some Assembly Required! 23:12, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I can absolutely ask in your stead. Let me finish up with dinner and this movie, and I'll go ahead and do that. It will be nice to have an official verification, whether we're right or wrong. Just remind me in a few days if I haven't updated you over matters. You can never tell how long it takes for him to respond. Some Assembly Required! 23:25, December 23, 2012 (UTC)

Formspring Madness
I've been regularly checking up in his FormSpring, but it appears he hasn't even accepted my question to be shown yet. I'm going to see about sending him that question again, (There's a possibility that there's just too many questions for him to go through thoroughly.) as well as seeing if there's an e-mail I can dig up asking him to answer it as a wiki-related issue. Thank you for your patience. Some Assembly Required! 21:27, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I just have not received a response from Sawyer over my query. Just wanted to let you know. Some Assembly Required! 20:25, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
On Super Mutants Sex
The keyword is sterile; Mariposa Super Mutants retain their sexual organs and can have sex, even if they are sterile - the revelation that Super Mutants were in fact sterile was a major point in the Lore as brought out in first Fallout (as in; everything the Master had done for what he thought would be unifying the planet as one race of people was futile, because the new race could not reproduce). Fallout 2 has ample examples of Super Mutants sex, and when I say sex I mean it gender-wise and sexual-act wise: at Broken Hills female super mutant is fighting with a male super mutant in a case of domestic violence, Marcus can have sex with a prostitute (making his somewhat famous joke about hoping that the prostitute doesn't get pregnant). West Coast Super Mutants have sexes, but not the East Coast ones, lacking sexual orientation altogether and making them asexual. So, should Mariposa (West Coast) Super Mutants whose sex we know be tagged as either sex? Yes, I think so. --VonVince (talk) 05:57, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
