Hunting shotgun
I deleted the redirect page. You should be able to make the new page now. -- 13:41, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Article names
You're free to move them to the correct names. Thanks! Ausir(talk) 02:53, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, but it would seem I cannot actually do these edits myself. In the case of the grenade launcher, the article is locked to non-moderator edits, otherwise it can be moved to it's rightful page without a hitch. Holy frag grenade, on the other hand, it's destination page already exists with far less info, and would have to be cleared to make way for it.

Rebar club
Moved, and slightly edited. Keep up the good work. -- 19:12, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Upside down images
Hey thanks for letting me know those weapon images were upside down, I guess they looked good to me whichever way they faced :) I've updated the images with proper versions now but they show up exactly the same as the old ones, I presume this is a cache issue.

My bad on Mantis Gauntlet
It said Melee earlier, so I added "is melee not unarmed".

I know, that's why I changed it, thanks for pointing it out cause I really forgot. Mediocrity Goggles 16:54, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Fallout: New Vegas weapons
Thanks for fixing that table. Didn't notice I messed it up OOPS -- 00:52, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Bear Trap Fist
I ve thought some time about it, i think it s a unique weapon, therefore i capitalized it. --Jspoelstra 16:15, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also see the The_Vault:Anti-capitalization_project
 * I still think it s unique and am applying the rules (like with The Terrible Shotgun), but fine, change it again if you want to.

Should we ask the creators?
We seem to have a slight disagreement in the 9mm Mauser page. I stated in the summary, there is no Chinese pistol in FNV, just FO3. Also, it would make make sense for FNV to have a Mauser pistol because it is featured in both FO and FO2 (in the west, along with New Vegas), while not in FO3 (in the east). If we cant work this out ourselves I propose we ask Obsidian Entertainment or, better yet, the original creators like Chris Avellone (creator of the fallout bibles.

Reply: Yes, but when thinking about the canon and the stories of the fallout universe, it makes more sense to be a Mauser, does it not? The Mauser and Chinese pistols look nearly identical but one is found in the west, one in the east. So they recycled a weapon rendering from fallout 3 (which makes sense considering they were kind of sloppy on NV when compared to 3), that doesn't make it NOT a Mauser. Im more about being true to the universe rather than to the game itself since it is part of the universe.

Considering that it is the same engine and the time that they put this game together in it makes sense that many... many things were recycled over from one game to the other. And im trying to reach a middle ground here. Ive taken in what you said and tried changing it to your liking. If we had more knowledge of the canon, such as why there are chinese pistols ONLY in the East (perhaps the chinese invaded from this direction... rather stupid as it would seem considering the path of their own missiles), maybe we could reach a definitive answer.

I really don't see why this is such a big deal. And I was going to stop after that... I am a relatively green mamber to the wikia community I know but I'm pretty sure that the story matters more than the game itself. If you had to leave it there, is there anyway you could word it better to show that this is only a theory? If so, go ahead and do so, if not, I say we go and ask someone who knows all about this, the developers and creators.

Hmmm...
I cant believe some one who seemed so "intellectual" as yyou would go as far to make a certain edit to my profile. Well done sir, well done :) TheWalternate 02:08, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but who other than you would have enough motive AND the knowledge of of my ban to take advantage of it and edit my profile when i could not change it back (fortunately i did not know of the change until some bystander noticed the change and undid it). It is extremely easy to change your IP address manually if you know what you are doing and even easier to use a proxy server or browser. Oh if you DID see an edit, why not change it back to normal and/or report it so as to keep the community clean of vandalism and help this site in its job of collecting information for the use of many.

I'm not going to keep arguing the point, last time I tried mediating, we got no where. But I will point out on flaw in your logic, if you don't follow my profile, and did not see the edit before it was reverted, how did you know of the edit in the first place, before I accused you? Unless of course you enjoy loitering on profile pages and checking previous edits AND especially due to the fact that all you should have needed to look at is my talk page. And with that, I bid you farewell, and happy editting.

Well, thats not a very nice way of saying goodbye. Since we are giving tips, I encourage you to work on people skills and to mediate with the other person in a disagreement until a solution is found to be acceptable for both sides. Good day :)
