Nice that it's now a table, but why did you remove my link to the Anvil quest from the Houses page?

Ok. No problem. Can be easily added back.

Tribunal Quest Headers

I just noticed that you've been going through and changing the wording of the Tribunal quest headers. I wanted to point out, though, that most of those entries can now be included into the quest header properly instead of tacked on in the "AddBelow" tag. For example, on Tribunal:Main_Quest:Queen_Barenziah the current entry is:

|AddBelow=* Recommended Level: None
* Required Items: None
* Recommended Items: None
* Difficulty: Low

You could instead have:

|ReqLevel = None
|ReqItem = None
|SuggItem = None
|Difficulty = Low

And if you then think that "Recommended Item" is a better label than "Suggested Item" it would just have to be changed in one place in the template, instead of on each individual page. See Template:Quest_Header for a listing of all the available parameters. Just a suggestion! --Nephele 17:20, 7 November 2006 (EST)

Why don't I hear these [censored] things beforehand? *Grumble Grumble* --Ratwar 18:37, 7 November 2006 (EST)

Oh, and while you're at it, why don't you rename all the pages too ;) Good thing Hoggwild gave you some cheese yesterday! --Nephele 18:54, 7 November 2006 (EST)

Don't worry, Aristeo, my own brain, and now you have already reminded me. (And in fact, it is already done) --Ratwar 18:57, 7 November 2006 (EST)

You should also use the journal quest names as discussed for Morrowind. If you don't have the PC version of Tribunal, you can find the quest names here. --DrPhoton 03:48, 8 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks for the heads up. I probably should have done that the first time, but I didn't really think about it. --Ratwar 12:50, 8 November 2006 (EST)

Dark Brotherhood Links

Why have you changed the links of the Dark Brotherhood from Morrowind:Dark Brotherhood to Tamriel:Dark Brotherhood? Did you meant to put Tribunal:Dark Brotherhood? Please note that the Morrowind page has an extra line which is relevant to people playing Morrowind (or Tribunal). --DrPhoton 03:43, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Well, my thinking was that the Dark Brotherhood isn't actually a faction in Morrowind (I know it is in the game, but in the Construction Set, it doesn't exist). Therefore, I figured it was more relevant to direct them to the Tamriel page, since it would provide history about the Dark Brotherhood, involving Tribunal, a game that some of the readers probably don't have. Also, the last line isn't really relevant to Morrowind at all, since that only happens during the Tribunal quest. That was my rational, but I guess we/I could make the Morrowind entry more relevant to Morrowind, and undo the changes. --Ratwar 09:27, 9 November 2006 (EST)

In my opinion, the Dark Brotherhood is still a faction. It's dealt with as a faction, even though the construction set does not mention it as a faction. Because it's unjoinable and because it's members attack you on sight, I feel like the devs didn't need to make an entry on the construction set. --Aristeo | Talk 12:32, 9 November 2006 (EST)

I agree, but the Morrowind:Dark Brotherhood page included a transclusion from the Tamriel and a short two lines talking about their role in Tribunal. It contained no information about their role in Morrowind, and at the time I wasn't in the mood to redo it. I was actually going to move the whole page to 'Tribunal:Dark Brotherhood', but found that it was a redirect to a quest page (for some odd reason). --Ratwar 12:40, 9 November 2006 (EST)

You could rephrase the last sentence like this: "The Dark Brotherhood is one of the unjoinable guilds in Morrowind. They have a big presence in Mournhold (the center town of Almalexia, the capital of Morrowind) and you will encounter them in the main quest of the Tribunal expansion. They have a considerably greater role in Oblivion." This would work for both Tribunal and Morrowind. --DrPhoton 03:28, 10 November 2006 (EST)

Bloodmoon/Tribunal NPCs

I have a two spreadsheets with all the Bloodmoon and Tribunal NPCs, including their locations. If you'd like a copy, e-mail me at lhridley@theridleys.org and I'll send them to you.--Hoggwild5 17:06, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Dumb Question

Now, chief, I been puttering around here for a little over two weeks, fixing what I can, doing what I can, and it finally occurred to me to ask--what do you want me to do to help, besides clicking "Random Page," and fixing the page I end up at as best I can? How can I really aid this wiki-effort? Somercy 12:51, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Well, that depends on what you know. If you're comfortable with Morrowind material, we'd really like some help filling out the Morrowind Quest Section (basically making all the quest pages that are linked off Morrowind:Quests look like this). A whole list of Morrowind Projects needing help can be found on this page: UESPWiki:Morrowind_Redesign_Project. Of course, judging by the amount of changes you've done in just the grammar parts, you're helping a lot already. --Ratwar 13:00, 13 February 2007 (EST)

(Insert picture of female Bosmer blushing here). Gee, thanks...I'm not that good with formatting, but I can try. Thanks! Somercy 13:03, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Well, as long as you use the templates it isn't too hard. --Ratwar 13:05, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Mkay, I'm trying my hand at formatting some quests...but I don't know the prerequsites, so help there would be loved. Oh, and happy Valentine's, loverling! Somercy 12:39, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Mkay...I've mostly been working on Hrundi's quests--seeing you do his page inspired me. I'll go back and put ?s in now...I copied the template from another quest, so that quests prereqs got put in instead... <3 Somercy 12:50, 14 February 2007 (EST)

New NPC templates

Just thought I'd let you know, since I saw you make a new NPC page at Morrowind:Neminda, I've altered the NPC templates for Morrowind and the expansions (Morrowind People Trail, Tribunal People Trail, Bloodmoon People Trail), so they include the categories now. To use them, just use the regular template, and add a | followed by the race. You no longer need to specify the race category separately, as this is done automatically by the trails. I've also posed a question on Morrowind Talk:People regarding whether we need to bother with the noinclude tags on these. (The Oblivion NPC pages do not use them, and I don't think they're necessary, since it's unlikely we'll ever need to transclude any of these pages.) I'd like your input on the issue. Thanks. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 14:42, 19 February 2007 (EST)

Okay... The only issue I see in any way is that all the Tribunal NPCs already have it done the way I did Morrowind:Neminda--Ratwar 15:48, 19 February 2007 (EST)

Yeah, that's why I made the race parameter optional. If you leave it off, the template will still function exactly the same way it did before. I just think this will make it simpler for the future. (I almost want to retrofit this feature into the Oblivion NPC Trail as well, but those are all done already and there's no real benefit.) --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 16:16, 19 February 2007 (EST)

Laughing at Me?!

Actually, it was almost semi-intentional. I typoed, and decided to wait and see who'd fix it. Glad you were amused. Somercy 15:21, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Tribunal Edit

Oops, sorry about undoing an edit you'd patrolled... I should have checked that in the recent changes page before doing anything, but since I pulled it up from the list of the IP's contributions, I didn't get the patrolled/not patrolled indicator. --Nephele 23:28, 27 February 2007 (EST)

Books

Ah, didn't realize they were direct quotes. Thanks for the heads-up. Nufy8 13:27, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Congratulations

Congrats, Ratwar! I noticed that you just passed Daveh on the Active Users list, and thought it deserved some recognition :) --Nephele 00:19, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Why thank you :). Though there's other editors I still have to look up to ;). --Ratwar 01:21, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Re:Hey

I am, I am...just busy, and sorta stressed, and don't wanna deal with the drama around here. Seriously. But I am here, and I got my friend Vlad to join--he's knowledgable on Daggerfall, Redguard, Arena...

Glad to know you care and noticed, though. Makes me feel loved. Somercy 15:04, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Highly Appreciated

Ratwar, it was, and still is appreciated for your comment on my talk page today. It really did make a difference in everyone's attitude about things. You definately know where to find me Chris. --Playjex 20:00, 12 August 2007 (EDT)

Heyla, lover!

May I use and abuse you in my current fanfiction work? My plan for you actually came out as an Argonian named War-with-Rats, but it might still be noticably you, so I thought I'd ask... Somercy 13:16, 4 September 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for blocking the spammers

I got a little freaked out there. Is it just me, or do they start spamming at midnight (in my timezone)? It seems too much to be coincidence. --Vesna 0:31, October 6 2007

I gotta do something to justify being an admin around here :) --Ratwar 00:33, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Sorry

Sorry but while I knew the existence of this Project I wanted to create a page about this Project here so other readers can find useful info. But I could not write it by my own so I copied from Wikipedia. Sorry it will never happen again. Lord Geogorath 15:17, 16 October 2007 (EDT)

You think so.

You think so. It happens thet Tiberius and I are neighbours. He spoke of a horrid website named uespwiki. Never liked it. He also told me of a user inside the community named Rpeh and told me how to find him. We have the same name and that is not bad. We both are fans of Oblivion and we both like the screenshot. He also informed me that he will not come back again. I asked Rpeh to tell me what was going on because George hid it from me. Now can anybody tell me what was going on? Lord Geogorath 11:13, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

Look, I can understand why you might be curious about the situation, but it seems to me that your best source for that information would be your friend Tiberius. If it is true that you are not Tiberius and he's not comfortable with sharing that information, you should respect his wishes. This community has no interest in indulging ridiculous feuds and internet drama. Your actions give the impression that you are here to launch personal attacks against community members, and I can assure you such behavior is not tolerated here. I strongly encourage you to give up this "investigation" and consider contributing to the site in a more positive, constructive manner. --Eshe^talk13:34, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

21?

Well, Happy Belated Birthday! When was it? --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 23:00, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Well, it was actually back on the 20th of October, so I thought I ought to get it updated :) --Ratwar 00:18, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Merry Xmas!

GuildKnight says "Merry Christmas!" And a happy new year! Thank you for all the hard work you do! Hope you have a great holiday! --GuildKnightTalk2me 01:57, 24 December 2007 (EST)

Fan Fiction

Good luck judging those stories. It's too bad I'm the worse writer ever. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk)/(Contribs)} 19:19, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Straying from the guidelines

Ratwar,

Thank your for pointing out that I strayed from the contribution guidelines regarding the "Hjalti" entry in the Battlehorn Castle section. Due to personally predating the internet, I am still learning how wiki sites work, and I should have taken a little more time to familiarize myself with the protocols of editing before I just jumped in. Many apologies for that. I look forward to being a member of the site and will "learn the ropes" ahead of time before making any other additions and/or alterations.

Thank your for your consideration and patience.

The Word Merchant 11:48, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Thanks

I fixed those links. I guess a lot has changed since I left. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk)/(Contribs)} 19:53, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

Sandbox Link

Hi Ratwar, dunno if youre aware of this but User:Ratwar/Sandbox II links to a redirect that has been proposed for deletion (Christopher Weaver), might want to change the link to General:Christopher Weaver. Just thought you shoulod know. --216.82.251.227 06:46, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Can't post edits

Hi. I'm using Internet Explorer 8 beta, and when I click "submit", I get a CAPTCHA message. I enter the text (correctly), and click submit again. Then it says that I have not provided an edit summary. I click Submit again, and I get another CAPTCHA box. This goes on forever. Yes, I'm using the UESP in IE 7 compatibility mode.—Sam324 09:36, 5 October 2008 (EDT)

Happy birthday!

Hope you have a great day! --GuildKnight^Talk2me 01:35, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

Yeah - have a great one. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:02, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
