Edit undoing Edit

I don't give a reason when using rollback on edits I don't feel are appropriate. Please don't undo my rollbacks again. The Australian Kiwi 17:32, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, and that is quite inconsiderate and impolite. Users like me sacrifice their time contributing to this wiki and it's frustrating to see an edit thrown to the waste-bin. This wiki can be frustrating enough with people higher up the ladder having their somewhat fixed ideas about what they like and what not.

I do think about my edits and hope they are helpful, but everyone has their own style in using language obviously.

The alterations you have made to my entry now are acceptable to me, so everyone's happy now. Enough of this. --Saradoc 18:03, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Rollback

Hey Kiwi. Just some friendly advice: use rollback mainly on vandalism and blatantly inappropriate/incorrect information. You may then contact the editor if you wish, otherwise leave a small note in the edit summary box when undoing to explain your revert. Where the line is drawn you decide, but please keep it in mind. Be seeing you! -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:52, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Stub project

You read my reaction on that speculation forum thread, right? I think that we should focus on the attention required category and one of them is the stubs. That is a category that needs a lot of attention and work, and although I know they don't have that much effect anymore, I am planning to add the Category:Fallout: New Vegas stubs to the achievement track pretty soon now. So your suggestion is a good one. We can first add the FNV stubs to the project and see how the response is. You think you can set up that project in the Fallout Wiki namespace?

HAHAHA! "Frag mine's aren't inhabitants" -There's always something here that makes my day :3 -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 23:19, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

Stub project

I like the idea. However, the information on that page is far from substantial, but I think we can fill that out eventually. I've created a template for the project. I hope you like it! -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:38, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on that, it's good that it's been started. I'll take a better look at the project page tomorrow and after that we'll let people know by means of community messages. Jspoel 23:00, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the template is just standard project work. We might not need it for now, but it's there. We'll get writing on the project page tomorrow, I suppose? See ya -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 23:52, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know about removing that stub template from the sterilizer glove. A comparison table is still missing to the other gloves. You should also check the item article layout guide to see what needs to be on a page. Jspoel 19:51, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, like you said, we need to fill out all necessary information first before removing the stub tags, not just going around removing all of them. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 19:55, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Some of it may require access to the GECK. Do you have that? -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 20:01, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

It's a very helpful editing software. I'd ask J for more details, I'm not too clear on that. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 20:05, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

(←)  I was thinking about more of a real world stub, in general, for all developers. Like on The Vault. Working on it. Btw way, can you hold off editing on the developer pages for now, there's a conversion coming up tomorrow or in the weekend. Jspoel 23:29, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Stub removal project

I noticed that project and I would like to ask you a question about it.

• The stub can be removed only if all info is put, right? (like the Destitude traveler, not much to say) MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 22:41, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Heh, then I worked on the project before it began - mostly on Fallout/Fallout 2 articles. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 22:48, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Mostly I did with the older titles, but I know there are some still that have stub emplate. So yeah, you do the work on F:NV and I will on FO2. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 08:38, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Adminship

Thanks for the kind words Kiwi :D And thanks for sending me some work, although Garoux got him first :P Limmiegirl ^{Talk! ♪} 20:51, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts, Kiwi. Does my promotion mean I'm now a Wiki Private First Class? The Gunny 22:28, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Great. Now I'm back to being a corporal again:P. As long as I don't get stuck with latrine duty around here. The Gunny 22:36, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Booster.

At least one edit a day, so you might have a case here. Let me look into their edits further and I'll make a decision on what to do from there. ^Skål! 16:26, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've been looking back through them as well and I think you might be right. I left her/him a message though and I'll be keeping an eye out for any further edits like that. ^Skål! 16:34, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, the consecutive over 100 days editing achievement was the first thing that tipped me off. Thanks for pointing that out though, let me know if anything new comes up. ^Skål! 16:39, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

The middles is lies!

Haha, agreed! As if the bug itself weren't confusing enough. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 23:08, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

BusinessMonkey

Yeah, I've been looking into his edits. This one, I'm not so sure about. I might just leave a warning after going through a few more of his edits. ^Skål! 16:04, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Just sent him a warning. Let me know if you see anymore edits like this one. ^Skål! 16:19, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Never doubted you, that's why I left a warning for him. :) You have a good eye though, that's why I left you a present! ^Skål! 19:24, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations!

A present, just for you! 10:44, 10th March 2012 You have been given your very own walking eye. Your efforts and diligence have not gone unnoticed, and you have been given a small token of appreciation. For always keeping a vigilant eye out! Skål!

Stub-RW

No, that's not a good idea. Those pages have been converted once and that went wrong. Now everything has to be done again and I'm afraid that if you edit them, the bot will have more problems than necessary. It's quite a complex conversion so leave them be please. I've just asked Grunny to continue with the conversion and that should also include renaming the stub to stub-rw. Jspoel 00:10, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Mojave Music Radio

Sorry about that. I was undoing it just after you had rolled it back. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:23, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

I was undoing it, rather than rolling it back. That's the preferred way for edits like these, which are just speculation, nothing too bad. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:26, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me, Kiwi. That was there back when I was testing out the template. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 01:10, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hay! How dare you edit my edit on You'll Know When it Happens on Fallout Wikia. That actually happened, and it worked, and you will fix it or I fix you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lozkaz (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

African Fallout Wiki

I recalled someone asking Porter a similar question and found this. I think you need to ask Wikia to create the 'Afrikaans' (you mean South African version?) sister Fallout wiki (probably sa.fallout.wikia.com then). See the contact-adress on the talkpage. Also some directions on importing and using our templates. You think there's a market for an 'Afrikaans' version? Jspoel 16:32, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

About the image

I didn't mean to mess with the image. I posted the image some days ago, and wanted to change the name, but didn't know that would happen. I'll repost the image.

NUN

Yeah that's fine, patrollers don't need authorisation so you may add you dig at your convenience. Agent c 18:04, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer. OWR did originally ask for me, but I paired him with Yessie based on time; given the situation I think its best if I take over at least in the short term, and work out whats going to happen long term when things settle down. I still have some vain hope that this is all going to blow over (no matter how unlikely that seems to be at the moment). Agent c 22:13, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Quotations project.

Hi, mate! Great to have you aboard, working with us on the project! Let's keep the older Fallout games alive and well at the wiki! Well, as I put on the project page, I'm gonna share duties among the participants. We're starting with FO 1 articles. I'd like you to begin working on the articles about characters from Shady Sands, Khans (location), and Junktown, if you don't mind. Cut content should not be included, but feel free to add quotes to them too if you want. All the characters from the aforementioned locations can be found here (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_characters), and soon The Gunny will provide us with a nice progress table to help us keep track of what is done and what is not. Remember: if you wanna let everybody know about something that may come up, there is the talk section of the project page. And if the articles already have quotations, only change them if reaaally necessary (for instance, when the line is too dumb, or too vague, stuff like that). Take a look at the guidelines and scope. And let's get it on! Thank you for participating, mate! Cheers!

Re:Congrats

Thanks for your vote and feedback. I'll do my best and you shall not be disappointed :) -SigmaDelta54^(Talk) 20:22, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Link to talk page in article

Your sole reason for removing a link to the relevant section of a talk page is that you've never seen one before? That seems rather flimsy. If you don't want it there, then I will put the list of overlord locations in the article itself or in the supermutant article. There's absolutely no reason that only one overlord location is listed in the tri-beam article (and actually when I encountered that overlord, he wasn't even carrying one, because their weapon is chosen randomly).

Jury Street Metro Station

That wasn't in the least sense "strategy". However, you were correct in removing it since it is already mentioned on its respective page. Oh, and your reference format on the Bethesda Softworks is off, you need the references template at the bottom. -SigmaDelta54^(Talk) 19:02, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Patron

Finally got around to updating Ask Marcus. :) Check it out and let me know if you like it. ^Skål! 19:23, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Also, went ahead and created you a custom signature and I had to stick with the old F2 Marcus image. I can't seem to get the NV Marcus image to work with the templates properly. ^Skål! 19:29, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm. Already banned him/her once over the same ordeal. I'll have to go through his/her edits when I get back home in a little while. As for changing your signature to your avatar... it's sort of cut off near the back and it doesn't have a transparent background. You sure that's what you want to have as a signature as well? ^Skål! 19:24, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

If you can get me the full-sized image and create a transparent background, that would make for a pretty good signature. ^Skål! 19:35, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Re:SRP

Indeed. It gives me focus in my work. I just finished the FO3 stubs, successfully reducing the number down to around 10 pages. The others have been built upon, fixed up, and reorganised. If I couldn't add more, I left it as a stub. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 21:52, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

"Just a heads up, sector 36 is still making one minor/pointless edit each day. Kiwi 13:32, April 11, 2012 (UTC)"

Sector 36 followed me over from the Wolfenstein Wiki. He/she's a good editor, I'm not sure why people are quick to vilify others on this wiki lately. Especially when his last 4 edits were blog comments and he missed yesterday.--Kingclyde 17:52, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my posts? Its not your wiki and everything I post is true so why delete it? I have bothe Platinum trophys on Fallout 3 and on New vegas I know alot.

Re:Nuka-Cola Victory

It isn't speculation because it's not worded in a speculative way. He put it as a matter of fact. Then it's up to be decided whether or not said fact is true or not. There's a difference between speculation and false information. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 16:52, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I don't find it patronising. In fact, I don't think it helps your point one bit: there is no reasoning here, he is merely stating a fact. I don't know where he got this fact, but if there is no backing behind it, it is false. There is no matter of using reasoning or logic here, therefore it is not speculation in the least sense of the word. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 17:00, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Since there is no reference, it is presumed to be false. If there is a valid reference, it should be added into the article. The only reason why you would remove such a thing is because you doubt its validity, which is reasonable, since there is no source stated. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 17:05, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

In this instance, no, you are right - it shouldn't stay (since he presented no source). I kept it there for formality sake as to not intrude and hope that things can be worked out (i.e. he presents a source, or you might find one). But since that is not the case it'll be removed now. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 17:09, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Keep up the good work. SigmaDelta54 (Talk) 17:14, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
