NPCs and DialogueEdit
I think it's going to be best if you skip the unique dialogue on the Oblivion NPCs. Putting a VN tag on a page that already has a complex template trying to perform validation is only going to confuse people. I set the project up and even I don't know whether I should replace the dialogue where necessary and remove the VN, or update the main template too; would I have written it or checked it? The idea is that one person does a grab from the CS and another checks that they got the right bits and that nothing else has been missed off. I appreciate your effort, but adding a translation from another version of the game into the mix is going to be too confusing.
Also, could I ask that you make just one edit, except where you're cleaning up? Having three or four edits on one page can make it much trickier to find out exactly what's changed.
Otherwise, thanks for your work on the project! –Rpeh•T•C•E• 14:36, 4 February 2009 (EST)
- Yes, I actually had similar thoughts in my head: the more I progressed with them more I was asking myself 'should I really write it up'? My original idea was for me to write the backbone of the dialogue and then someone would check over it and correct it but I can see how a translation is going to just mess things up. I even changed the language of my Oblivion to English but my CS doesn't seem to have yet understood it. Do you know if there is any way of getting the CS in English?
- About the edits; I have a bit of unstable connection and it sometimes decides to disconnect itself for no reason, which means I sometimes lose huge chunks of stuff I was editing. However, it is getting better and I'll try to compress everything into one edit from now on... Cheers, mate! ;) --SerCenKing 15:28, 4 February 2009 (EST)

- I don't think there's a way of changing the CS language, but then I'm not an expert - I've never had to try after all. With a bad connection I find FireFox to be really useful. Going "back" from a submit that fails lets you recover the edit you had made, but IE often doesn't. If all else fails, I use a text editor! –Rpeh•T•C•E• 16:25, 4 February 2009 (EST)
ThanksEdit
Hi there! I just wanted to say that I am very impressed by how much you contribute on a regular basis. I am new to this sight but I have already noticed how much you do on everything. Keep up the good work! -- Mage Freak 15:56, 4 February 2009 (EST)Mage Freak
- Thanks to you! Actually, yes I've had a good deal of free time lastly and decided to spend some of it here! Looks like someone noticed! --SerCenKing 16:09, 4 February 2009 (EST)
Issues with the user page (not big ones!)Edit
First, the word "standard" in the "Contributions to the Cause" section is spelt incorrectly, and how are skill books, magical items? 173.32.11.67 19:32, 4 February 2009 (EST) Helper Unknown
- Thanks, I don't really check on my userpage that frequently...Guess I'll give it more of a glance from now on. In the case of Skill Books, I take your point. What I mean are Skill Books from the seven magic schools (Alchemy, Alteration etc.) and I therefore refer to them as 'magical'. --SerCenKing 02:39, 5 February 2009 (EST)
VandalismEdit
Thank you for reverting the change to the UESPWiki:Common Mistakes page, but you should be careful about using the term "vandalism". Our policy of Assume Good Faith makes it clear that you should assume the best about people's edits. In this case, Brentonbabe did clear the page but asked a question at the same time. It seems likely that the deletion was an accident rather than deliberate so calling it "vandalism" isn't fair. Just something to bear in mind for the future. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 14:49, 9 February 2009 (EST)
- Yeah, I probably rushed to conclusions when I saw the edit summary 'replacing page' and the -7000 words less. I was actually think of moving the question to the related page but wasn't sure whether he really wanted an answer or if it was simply a page blanking. That's also why I only sent a notice to him instead of a warning... Thanks anyway, I do realise that the term vandalism is greatly mis-used, and I'll try to refrain from using it unless necessary. --SerCenKing 07:35, 10 February 2009 (EST)
When UndoingEdit
Please can you make sure that you give a reason when undoing an edit? This beat my own undo but you didn't leave any kind of reason. Since our help pages advise people to check edit summaries if they find out their edit has been removed, it's important that you leave one to explain any alterations. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 12:22, 21 February 2009 (EST)
Badges?Edit
Ciao! I have a question, how do you implement those "badges" on your user page? The ones stating you are Italian, male, etc... I would like to make my userpage a bit more attractive. I am a long time member (recently started contributing again after a long hiatus) and my page still looks like a first draft! Thanks =D
edit: I mean I know I can just click on edit and copy what you used but is there a page with a list of "badges"? Vartan
- I think your are alluding to my Userboxen, yes there is a page for them; this one. If you're particularly interested in nationality ones you can use this link. Hope this was useful. --SerCenKing 02:50, 25 February 2009 (EST)
Thanks for the welcomeEdit
Ciao, italiano purosangue anche qui. Just wanted to thank you for your welcome message you sent me earlier. Appreciate it. I also contributed a small bug report I encountered on PS3 after clearing Benirus Manor, look for it in the Talk page of Where Spirits Have Lease. Thanks again!
