Welcome!Edit

Hello RubyRanks! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's always good to have new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:

• Policies and Guidelines: UESPWiki standards and expectations
• Help Contents: a list of in-depth Help pages
• Quick Editing Guide: a quick guide to wiki markup
• Getting Started: how you can help
• Uploading Images: Guidelines on image standardization

If you would like to spice up your userpage, click here for a list of userboxes you can use, including a guide to making your own.

When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!).

Please consider supporting the UESP elsewhere on the web:

• YouTube: our official YouTube channel.

Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox. If you would like to discuss the games or lore, consider checking out our blog, our Discord, or the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Lastly, thanks once again for joining the UESPWiki, have fun! — Wolfborn↝^(Howl) 07:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Edit SummariesEdit

Hello RubyRanks

I just wanted to add a note to emphasize the importance of using edit summaries, especially when deleting information from articles as you did recently. Without a rationale for a deletion, other editors or patrollers may revert your edits as an "unexplained deletion" if they are not familiar with the subject matter or the possible reasons behind the deletion. As it was, I had to look up Falura Llervu's dialogue and deduce that you had deleted the sentence you did because you felt that the dialogue was not necessarily factual but was possibly something she was given to say by Savile Imayn. Providing a short edit summary (or a longer explanation on the article's talk page) will allow other editors to more easily follow the reasoning behind your edits.

Thanks again for your interest in contributing to UESPWiki, and enjoy your stay! — Wolfborn↝^(Howl) 07:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.

RubyRanks

No problem. :) And as I expected, another editor has gone and reverted your edit. I'll move the disputed line to the article's talk page for further discussion.

Also FYI, as a matter of talk-page etiquette, if I (or any other user) posts a message on your talk page, your reply should appear on your talk page. If you post a message on another user's talk page, replies will be found on their talk page. That way discussions stay on one page and are easily visible to all users. Remember to indent your replies using colons and use one more colon than the previous reply. Also remember to sign your posts using four tildes (like this: ~~~~) or by using the signature button at the top of the edit window. Cheers. — Wolfborn↝^(Howl) 08:43, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
