No Problem, My Friend!
It's sorta of my "job" of sorts to give a nice welcome to the new users! I'm glad you appreciated it! :). Nukey (Talk) (User blog:AreYouGoingToEatThatNuke? 13:43, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Protectron
The trivia section has been removed, because it's speculation. which we don't need. --Anon (Talk) 07:24, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Protectron trivia
None of it was trivia. It was speculation.

The Vault does not even use "trivia" headings, we use "Behind the scenes". Nitty Tok. 12:59, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * None of it was even very important. The Vault is too redundant as-is. Nitty Tok. 20:51, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, because you (as the reader) need to know all about Tires. Or Balloons. Or Vault Vent Coverings. The site is too redundant. Nitty Tok. 00:24, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I want you to click the big gear in the corner and read what it says under "Welcome to the Vault". Your argument is invalid. Again, I'm very sure that everyone on earth knows what a tire is. Or a balloon. Nitty Tok. 01:01, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can't add that because you don't know what that grill is designed for. Hey, wait! It's a steel factory! Maybe, because it's a steel factory, they're using magnets to keep the molten metal from spilling out over the workers! Maybe the grill emits a counter-magnetic field that protects the robot, because we all know what magnets do to robots! It's S-P-E-C-U-L-A-T-I-O-N, and does not belong in the articles! Nitty Tok. 01:36, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Gary 23 functions as a source for the biometric example. If there's a hint of doubt, it DOES NOT GO IN THE ARTICLES. Nitty Tok. 02:13, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

The Vault Policy
You and Nitpicker of the Wastes have been engaging in an edit war. Even though tempers flared, the language did not descend into insults or harassment, so, good job as far as that goes. However, in the future, if initial exchanges with a disagreeing editor do not move toward a consensus, drop it and contact one of the other administrators. Arguing and butting heads does not solve problems. I have temporarily protected the Protectron page to avoid this going any further. I have also copied this message to Nitpicker's page.

In the meantime, be advised that speculation is not permitted in articles here at The Vault. In order to maintain our status as a source of information about the game, we have to make sure that what our articles provide is factual and sourced. Speculation is fun, but it belongs in forum pages.

In addition, we indeed do not include sections named "trivia" in our articles. We have replaced that title with "behind the scenes." You can read more about our standard layouts here.

Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any more questions. Otherwise, I will consider this matter closed. Below, I include some relevant bits from our user conduct policy. Have a nice day.--Gothemasticator 02:20, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Be polite: It's not only important what you say but also how you say it. Be civil when talking to other people and treat them with respect. This site is built on cooperation.
 * Assume good faith: Do your best to assume that other editors are trying to help unless you have evidence to the contrary. Accidents happen, and not everybody has a lot of experience with editing a wiki.
 * Do not start edit wars: Be ready to discuss your changes with others. If you disagree with another editor, discuss the issue either on user or article talk pages. Repeatedly reverting each other's changes ("edit warring") is bound to aggrevate the conflict instead of solving it. If you cannot reach a consensus, ask another user to mediate.''

Protectron entry
Here is what you added, relevant bits bolded: It's nto that your theory is unreasonable, it's just that it remains a theory. It is unverifiable and therefore falls under the category of speculation, which we do not include in articles.
 * ''The possible reason why the Factory Protectrons have cages around there inhibitor's could be due to working environments or to protect its components from being damaged from their fellow human employees who had a high disposition towards the protectrons due to thinking it was the first step to being replaced by robotic workers.
 * One incident in the supply plant involved a mill employees with a bucket of water and a sledgehammer on a Factory Protectron, which could have led to cages on the combat inhibitor to protect the protectron itself and to prevent it from frenzying if such an attack repeated itself.''

That being said, feel free to make a further case if you wish. (But please sign your posts either by using the signature button at the top of the editing page or by manually adding four tildes to the end of your posts. Thank you.)--Gothemasticator 02:56, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Please sign your posts.

Okay, some responses:
 * There is no double standard. There is only a large workload. We remove speculation all the time from all sorts of articles. What remains will get addressed as it gets addressed.
 * I'm not sure how you imagine this info fitting into the Supply Plant article.
 * Your proposed entry remains speculation. That's the main point, and no matter where you put it, we're going to take it out.

I'm signing out for the night. I want you to be aware that you have been warned about the speculation. You have been engaged in civil discussion. If you add the speculation back in, it will be considered a blockable offense.--Gothemasticator 03:49, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so I lied. I'm still on
Firstly, sign your posts! I bold that, since this is the third time I've asked you to start doing so - something which is also covered in Vault policy. Do you not know how?

Secondly, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from leaving pics on my talk page.

Finally, my best advice to you is to drop it. It is not worth the anguish.--Gothemasticator 04:19, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Conductor
Only locations with more than three belong on the individual page. All the rest go on Fallout 3 component locations. Nitty Tok. 00:23, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not entirely. Large amounts of component items count as notable loot, but they generally won't be removed. Nitty Tok. 00:34, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Supposedly
I don't think that a dev will give us speculation. ;) Nitty Tok. 13:37, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
