Boosting

Because I've had to talk to you about such practices before I'm now going to block you for achievement boosting for what you did on the Nadia page, pointlessly changing some information and reverting it within seconds. As you have three previous offences this isn't hard to believe. Enjoy your time off. --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 19:03, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I'm actually being generous by giving you a month. Usually on your fourth offence you can be blocked permanently, but because your third block was only 3 days for some reason (whether it was a mistake or not) I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 19:06, September 13, 2011 (UTC)
Well done, you've now been given a permanent ban. This is why you don't evade a ban, and it's quite hilarious that you asked Scarface for mercy despite the fact that I was already lenient with your block. --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 19:47, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
The issue has been discussed and you've been released from the permanent ban. You'll now have to live with a three month block, and this is your final warning. After this point if I so much as smell achievement boosting from you, you'll be risking a block. Familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines, and stay out of trouble. If you're caught ban evading again you will also be blocked. Remember, this is your last chance, do not blow it. --User:Cartman!User talk:Cartman! 22:14, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Lonesome Road snow globe

Hello MysteryStranger =)!

I don't know if you saw but the snow globe in Lonesome Road is named "Snow globe - Lonesome Road" and not "Snow globe - Divide". It's a proof that creates hazardous speculations on upcoming content without proof is not a good thing.

Have a nice day and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 08:13, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Cash room guard

Well, if your picture is of better quality than the current infobox one, you can replace it. I'm not really in favor of adding character images to galleries. I suggest you upload a few images, and I will see if they can be added to a page. You uploaded the drill sergeant yesterday, that was ok because there was nothing there. But it had shadows and was a bit distant, if the ones you have on your computer are the same, they wouldn't improve the page I think. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 10:30, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

  • That's very nice and all, those named character images, but why didn't you make them like I did, much closer, without shadows. And Johnny Five Aces' picture's created during darkness, why not daylight? The quality of these images can be much better. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 12:12, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Editing

Right, I am so sorry. I'm simply keeping an eye out for things. Good day. ΣΔ 20:40, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Quotations

Do we really need to attribute quotes on their corresponding characters' pages to themselves? ΣΔ 20:59, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I think it's quite redundant. I haven't seen a character page with someone else's quote on the top. Care to find one for me? ΣΔ 21:07, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Reverted your Chinese assault rifle image. You would need a magnifying glass to see that. And about the name behind quotes, don't go adding that to every quoted page now, it's not that much of an issue. I'd rather have you make good clear images and update FNV stubs and so on. And I think we've got just about every FNV marked and unmarked locations covered now, wouldn't know which still miss. I'll let it up to you maybe find an unmarked one left somewhere. I'm not going to browse the whole GECK anyway for it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:17, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
As Jspoel said, only the characters that can't speak should have their quotations labelled. ΣΔ 23:40, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Unmarked locations

You can upload the images and give me a description where they are, and I will see if they're worthy of a page. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:17, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Edits

Good, it's nice to see you're following the guidelines ;) ΣΔ 11:42, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Na, I'm just testing you, making sure you stay out of trouble and all. Happy Holidays! ΣΔ 11:49, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Spineless/ Reinforced Spine

No they don't to my knowledge. ToCxHawK 20:53, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

  • No I think it's fine the way it is. If it did have a image it would have been uploaded by now.ToCxHawK 20:55, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


No I don't think that will be necessary ToCxHawK 21:05, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ringo's Caravan

Don't think Ringo's Caravan is notable enough. What did you want to add to that page then? But congrats on your 2000th edit and making it back into the top 19 of the leaderboard. You wanted to be back in there as soon as possible right? And you've made pretty good progress in the 3 months you were away. Keep it up. And that´s an interesting proposition about the poll, I'd say go for it. Look at how Kastera's done it to see what you need to do. First just categorize it as a blog post and I will check it. If it's ok (originality, spelling and readability) I'll place in the News category so it will show up in Recent news. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:27, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

  • I spent some more time on Ringo's ransacked caravan (visited the location in-game myself) and now think it's worth and unmarked location page. So you can create a page for it if you want. Also wikify it (create links from it to other pages where possible and vice versa: for example Ringo linking to it). Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:04, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hakunin

Don't add things like 'it is advised'. Let players figure that out for themselves. And mind your summary comments (GODD..), it's totally unnecessary. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:02, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

  • Yes, the change from human to ghoul is good, but you don't have to add a summary comment like that.

Re: Walkthrough

I disagree; see this. Nowhere does it say there needs to be a lead "Walkthrough" section with "Quick" and "Detailed" subheadings. --Kastera (talk) 16:33, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Blog post comment

I just removed a comment from you, calling another user a "dumb person". Even if said user has been banned for trolling, that gives you no right to insult him. I'd be on my best behaviour towards other users f I were you, as you already have a "track record" of sorts. Hugs MadeMan2 "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Blog

Looks good to me. Try to make it original (hope you've been keeping track of Kastera's polls so you know what already has been in polls). You're sure you have enough to last a few months? Hope so. Well, when you have the first real poll, post me about it, I'll look it over and if it's good I'll add the news category to it. When everythings going fine, with the second poll you can add the news category yourself. It's good to have a poll again, it's been too long something fun came along. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:58, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Just left you a note on the blog, but then remembered that it doesnt tell you you have a new message... Hope you don't mind me snooping the recent changes, but its good to see the poll back. I'm doing the next digest in the next few hours, would you like to to include anything on their upcoming return? Agent c 21:16, December 18, 2011 (UTC)
No Probs. I'll try and keep it "Mysterious"... Agent c 21:22, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Wanted pages

That's interesting, it's one of my priorities also. A little under a 1000 to go now. Try your best to make a page for it (following guidelines), otherwise where appropriate redirect it. Don't remove red links for which you can't find anything, I'd rather have a look at that myself (or other admin), instead of leaving it to a regular user. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:24, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Box

That's allright. I already knew it would be something like that. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:07, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Fallout 4

You're right, it will be deleted. Why would you even think about adding it? Although it's probable, it's still pure speculation and so far away (even 1,5 year maybe). So don't add links like 10mm pistol (Fallout 4). Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:56, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Anders

What makes you say he has both of his legs broken? As I remember it when I free him, he's limping. That's not possible with 2 legs broken. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:22, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Making a Page

There's a page I want to make but am not sure if it's needed - Lieutenant Williams, the Enclave officer the player encounters when they leave their cell at Raven Rock. The reason I'm unsure is his minor role, and he's unnamed out of dialogue. Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:14, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

I can't find him in the GECK. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:58, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Just a note

Despite your history, I wish to thank you for all the work you've been doing on this wiki. Happy Holidays! -Love, ΣΔ 21:50, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Capitalisation

You're taking it out of context. How about these: Meresti Station, Tenleytown/Friendship Station, Dupont Circle Station, Museum Station, Franklin Station, Marigold Station, Jury St. Station, and Warrington Station. -Love, ΣΔ 23:02, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Eden's karma

I checked the geck, his karma is evil.--The Gunny 23:45, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Vault City downtown

You're doing good work again today, with those redlinks. You seem almost like a new person after your time away here. Seen as you've been editing Fallout pages, you think you can add the Vault City downtown page? It's still redlinked on Vault City. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:21, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

That's fast.
I know the feeling. At first you make mistakes, but when you learn from them, the editing will get better all the time, and so will your confidence. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:32, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
Forget the ban. It was too hefty in my opinion anyway. Unfortunately for you, another admin thought otherwise. But the 3 months have done you good. As far as I'm concerned, you can start with a fairly clean slate again. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:42, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Marigold Station

SigmaDelta capped the Marigold Station again and I think I like that better, so you can leave it that way. And when you move pages like Gregory, I'd like you to make an overview page like I just did with Gregory. Thanks. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:07, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Metro Station Capitalisation

Please stop moving all the metro pages because of their capitalisation. They're fine as they are. Moving all of them will provide you many edits but really no good to the wiki. -Love, ΣΔ 20:17, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

  • Stop for now, you can ask Kingclyde what he thinks of it. I'm not sure about what's best. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:19, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
    • Yeah, no problem. We all get confused sometimes. -Love, ΣΔ 20:32, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
      • Well, like Jspoel said, you're definitely doing a lot of good now. You've made me believe that people really can change! -Love, ΣΔ 20:38, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Stop the Enclave

Pretty good work on Stop the Enclave page. I like what you've done with the headers. You can remove the cleanup tag. If you can find more clean up pages you're welcome to have a go at it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:20, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Various

Miss Kitty and her quest are still as they are when they copied it from here to The Vault. It's one of those mistakes they just didn't noticed I think. It's up to them to spot and update it. And Mr. House is already redirecting to Robert House. I think you don't have to set yourself specifically on a quest to change every quest page from xp to experience points|XP or something. But when you see it somewhere as you go along you can change it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:36, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

A direct link is the best, so if you want to change a few, be my guest. But I wouldn't make a project of it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 22:05, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Number

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Red link

I like your work on the red links. Keep it up. I've fixed that proposed comment policy link, just a minor issue an admin can handle. If you have plans on becoming admin, that's still a pretty long way uphill, but if you continue this way, it's possible I think. Keep being active, make good edits, voice your opinion on forum threads, help other users where you can, maybe try the chat. In short, get the new you known among the community. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:37, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

  • You're not chatbanned. Maybe there's a problem with your computer. Try logging in on another one.

I've always wondered what's appropriate here. Saying "there is a karma loss of -10" mathematically means you gain 10 karma. I"m probably picking at nits here, but shouldn't we try to stay consistent and say "there is a karma loss of 10" (no negative sign) or do you have a reason behind it?

It was an edit to the brass lantern, I believe. Person of Refinement 23:01, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Missing Fallout quest

Seen as you've been busy on Fallout pages, do you think you can create this quest page? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 00:57, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Lines in link

I just copied it directly from my URL-bar. But it doesn't really matter which one I use, does it?

XP

You really don't need to change all XP links to XP. The 'XP' link will just redirect. -Love, ΣΔ 15:35, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Abbreviation

Hey, not try to be rude but when you abbreviate a SPECIAL stat it usually should be abbreviated as it would be in-game.ToCxHawK 15:56, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Bishop quest

Thanks for creating the Bishop quest page. If you see more FO1/FO2 redlinked pages you're welcome to them. You're starting to remind me of that Replicated Man holotape A New Man... :) Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas! Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:02, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, if you want you can create a blog for it. Just a simple one I think with a big card, below it Merry Christmas for everyone from the Fallout Wiki. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:08, December 24, 2011 (UTC)
I was thinking, can you create a poll right after Christmas (27th)? People have vacation and then it would be good to have a nice and fun poll up on the wiki. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 18:45, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Copying images

Comes down more or less on the person who created them. I have given The Vault permission to use any of my images with the proper attribution (see my talkpage 12), also because Avatar's doing the same for us. But there may be a loose image that's not created by me. As it is now, they'd have to ask the uploader I think. Which is your image then? But exchanging content is now being discussed on the forum, so there should be an clear agreement fairly soon now. I wouldn't make too much of a fuss. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:19, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Karma

Karma titles are titles, so they should be capitalised, as they were before. This is the same reason for perk titles and names to be capitalised. Merry Christmas to you too! -Love, ΣΔ 20:30, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

All in all, it really isn't a big deal. Let's all leave it as it was (before you edited it). Regardless of capitalisation, Very Good, Very good, very good, very Good, VERY GOOD, and VeRy GoOd still have the same meaning to readers. And also, is there something with the "PAGENAME" template that I don't know about? Stay warm! -Love, ΣΔ 20:37, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Images and karma

I had noticed the number of wanted pages are were decreasing, yes. We're going good with joined efforts. And my preference is downcapping karma and infobox parameters in general, so Very good or Very evil. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:47, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Although being a highly subjective matter, you are free to change capitalisation without any interference from me. This is not an important issue and does not really affect the article that much. Also, now that I'm aware, I'll change the "PAGENAME" templates when I come across one. Merry Christmas to both of you! -Love, ΣΔ 20:54, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Your poll

It was too short. We should make a good start with this again, with more possible answers. And I added a poll template, you can use it also in the next poll. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:55, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Mendoza

Yes, must be the same person. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:39, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Moved Harris and Sheila back. The other names or few and/or minor, so then it's better to leave it that way. If for example in a next game there's a significant character called Harris, then The Pitt Harris can be moved. Now The Pitt Harris is important enough to stay at Harris. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:47, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
And on the important character's pages Harris Smith and Harris, there are links to each other at the top of the page, so that sufficient for now.

Consumables

It's not too late to change that. People will still be playing FNV for plenty of time to come and visit our wiki for help. Next game will be Fall 2013 I think. So it's a good little improvement. And Kastera updated the CC. Too late for TB, today's his final day for voting. He should have enough votes to pass. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 19:23, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Were you that anonymous user just now I sent a message to? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:33, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

FOT

He's making the same edits as you, same small mistake. You can put }}{{Games|FOT}}{{FOT}} on one line, below the infox, like I did with Robin (Fallout Tactics). Not below each otherJspoel Speech Jspoel 20:37, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

It's not that important, purely appearance of the page when you edit it and more easy to find the templates because they're together. You can leave it like it is for now. Maybe for another day. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:56, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Nuclear or atomic power plant

I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2, but at the top of the Gecko (town) page there's talk about a half functional nuclear power plant. My idea is the name Gecko's nuclear power plant would be better than Gecko's atomic power plant.
