Thank you!!
This is Cat, previously WastelandCat. I just wanted to say, I finally got my name changed to FalloutGirl =D I am very happy with the name change, and I wanted to say Thank You! You were the one to help me with that project and I am very grateful! Have a great day. FalloutGirl 20:23, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * I appreciate the new signature, but here's an example of what's happening when I sign with the four tildes - any idea what I'm doing wrong or what's going wrong with my signature? The same thing happened when Jspoel tried to help... I'm new, so it may be something I'm doing wrong.

 * Ah, nevermind, I think I took care of it now; I didn't check the Custom box. I think it will work out now. And thank you very much for the help and the new signature =)

Songs
Added the documents for the infobox, you can find them here Infobox song for referance. If you can think of any more parameters you want to add, just let me know. User Avatar talk.png 20:56, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have added 'produced', 'music' and 'lyrics' as parameters. All of which will add "by 'parameter'" lines to the infobox. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 21:17, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also added 'written', for songs where both music and lyrics are done by the same person. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 21:19, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am currently playing around with it to add 'radio2' and 'radio3' parameters for songs such as Heartaches by the Number. I will let you know when I have finished. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:07, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Should all be working now. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:17, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * FYI, just so you know, you can put 'Galaxy News Radio (radio)' into the radio parameter and it will strip out the (radio) for the display, but still link to Galaxy News Radio (radio). User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:19, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * You know, I am wondering if the top link would be better served to simply link to the game soundtrack, then move radio down to under appearances. This will serve to help songs like A Kiss to Build a Dream On have linked headers, since radio stations don't appear in other games. What do you think? User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:41, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well at the moment, if you don't have any 'radio' parameters it will default to just say song for the title, see A Kiss to Build a Dream On for an example. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:48, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * You have a Holotape of Vera Keyes' melody, "Begin Again." I would consider it a melody by that account. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 01:29, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Mr. Bishop's mother
This is my first message on someone's talk page ever, so I hope I am doing this right. Being rank #2, an administrator, having one of the most popular userblogs and a long standing member of the Vault (the official wiki/a for the Fallout series), I was hoping you might be able to have some influence on choosing Mr. Bishop's canon mother. It's bothering me.

As we know, it's canon that the Chosen One was male and Mr Bishop's father, and that either Angela or Leslie Anne Bishop was his mother. I'd just like your help in clearing that up, by suggesting a poll idea, asking the question: Who do you think should be the canon mother of Mr. Bishop? I know that most of your polls either are specific to Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas, or relate to all the games, not just to Fallout 2. Personally I think Angela should be his mother, seeing as how she (if I remember correctly) would - according to Leslie Anne - "fall pregnant as soon as a man looked at her". Afterall, she does having raging hormones. Plus after sleep with the CO apparently goes around New Reno telling of her exploit, whetheras Mrs. Bishop says that telling John Bishop isn't a good idea. I guess you could say: manifestation over secrecy. Thanks! --Tag! 02:27, September 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, no problem then. Hopefully, they will clear this up in Fallout 4. I'm sure Chris Avellone has better things to do than to listen to my ramblings. Thanks anyway! --Tag! 08:49, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, will do. Give me a minute and I'll get back to you :).


 * I'm afraid it sounds like is to me, but the explosion directly after it doesn't help. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png


 * Thanks for reminding me :). I've listened to that part like 10 times now, and I can't hear isn't. The explosion is about half a second after, that's why I think he has to say that faster than the rest of his words, hence the confusion. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

It's hard to say. I heard isn't, but it could have been that he sighed after saying is. If you're still unsure you could always make the next Wednesday Poll ask what the word is. 00:27, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah... well, for what it's worth, I thought he said isn't, but thinking logically it would most likely be is. Because it is the Courier's road, and that's why they have to walk it alone.

SINK central intelligence unit
Greetings, Why do you disallow considering the Sink c.i.u. a Notable repair expert due to being a robot when the Vendertron, also a robot, is considered a Merchant?DarthOrc 04:38, September 23, 2011 (UTC)DarthOrc

No, we are not comparing apples to oranges. If a Vendertron can be included in with a group of living merchants, the SINK A.I.C. should be included in a group of repair vendors. The object is to list who repairs, period.DarthOrc 05:14, September 24, 2011 (UTC)DarthOrc

You are wrong. The point of the listing is who makes repairs at what percentage, not who studied or not. The list doesn't show who had natural talent and who didn't, either. (Your point was to imply those with higher skill all had to work equally as hard to get it. We both know that, in real life, it just ain't so.)  Our point is that the list is there to inform the reader who to go to to get a particular level of repair, not to imply any relative level of merit due to that NPC having worked hard to learn it. As we already noted, that is NOT the point of the list.


 * I have to agree that the SCUI is not a trained repair person that would be notable, but the only problem is that it's repair skill is 100 which is notable. Not all repair persons are at that skill level. While the difference between a machine with programming and a person with skill and experience is large, in game we are not dealing with experience of the repair person but their given skill level. In this case repair. Anyone, whether it is a person or robot that has a repair skill of 100 should be notable as it points out to the casual reader who are the best repair persons to go to. The SCUI does not repair any better or worse than say, Knight. One is human and the other is machine. The fact is that they both repair at 100 skill and are thus both notable in my opinion. So the SCUI should be listed as notable.--Kingclyde 05:49, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Kingclyde's words about sum up my thoughts on this also. So SCUI is a notable Repair Expert. Jspoel Speech Jspoel.png 11:02, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are both right on this matter in regards to the viewpoints you have taken. The crux of this argument is that lore is being compared to game mechanics. The issue with lore and game mechanics, is that they can (and often do) contradict each other. I think this is best summed up by what Kingclyde has said. With both parties focussing only on certain aspects, a disagreement will always ensue and never be resolved. What we need to do, is take a step back and view the subject from a larger stand point. In that, we need to ascertain what the purpose of that individual section is and also the context of the page as a whole. Since the page is about repair (which is a game mechanic), I would view that the point of the section is to note repair agent/s with the highest repair skill, therefore being able to repair items to or close to full condition. So with that, I suggest that the best solution would be to rename section title to a less lore meaning (something like Notable repair agents) and to include these NPC's.

SINK sink
Please review your reason for the edit. We were NOT talking about filling a bottle, we were talking about how to get a full drink from the SINK sink while in hardcore mode. You select the initial choice that you have bottles to be filled. On the next screen you have the option to fill the bottles or drink. If you select drink at that point you get a full drink, (with the usual body movement). If you don't have an empty bottle, you don't get this option and can only get a sip, (without any body motion).DarthOrc 05:38, September 25, 2011 (UTC)DarthOrc

The Glow
Excuse me, but I believe your undoing of my edit on The Glow was incorrect. On The Armageddon Rag, Vol. 3 in the "On The Beach" short story, The Glow is specifically stated. Here is the excerpt:

"But when Elder Francis assigned this mission, he’d told the young Scribe, “Best behavior. You have two missions here. While your primary is to discover if there truly is a tunnel opening to the Glow, you are also helping to keep the Brothers connected. We have the information, but they have the area knowledge. Work with them. Make bridges. They can get you to location, but it is likely only you will be able to understand the obstacles, if this is, indeed, factual information."

I took it from the volume of the Armageddon Rag I have stated above and The Glow is even an internal link. This shows that The Glow was indeed in the story and that the removal of my edit was unjust.

Look for it yourself, it is the 3rd paragraph from the headline "On The Beach."

Please get back to me. Thank You.

Sincerely, User:OniellFord

Nova
Hi Kast. Judging by recent events, I think locking the Nova page to only registered users would be a wise move. I've noticed recently a few different anons have vandalised it, which you may be able to see in the page history. Rather childish comments regarding her profession (I'll let you fill in the blanks). Anyway, just a suggestion I had. 06:02, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Pork n' Beans
It's nice you're helping out with the Pork n' Beans, but I'm working on it also and am getting edit-conflicts. If you see me working on splitting pages, best to leave them alone for a while I think. Jspoel  15:46, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't merge them, because if Incinerator would become an overview page for the incinerator and heavy incinerators, the current Incinerator page would have to be renamed to Incinerator (Fallout: New Vegas), and I'd like to avoid that unnecessary move. What do needs to be done though, is convert Heavy incinerator into a decent overview page.

Background and Characteristics sections
Hi Kastera ;)!

I saw that you move information on the appearance of a weapon of the Background section to the Characteristics section.

Actually Background section is about all information that are not linked in gameplay, like the story and the appearance of the weapon. When we transclude a section of an overview background page into a simple page, it's better to do like that since this avoids to have a duplicates of the same text.

Characteristics section is only for gameplay properties of the item, since it allows the players to have a direct view on gameplay characteristics of the item and avoid to display useless information (that are not gameplay information) to them. Itachou [~talk~] 15:53, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem =)! Yeah I agree it's pretty ambiguous at first (and actually background is generally employed only for characters, more history I think for weapons and even then), that why I tried to have three section instead of two (I think you saw the famous "Gameplay attributes" section somewhere on pages for weapons) but it would add to much sections on pages and not work when I was reminded of transclusion.


 * Anyway, have a nice day and keep up the good works my friend as always ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 16:17, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

re: bitter drink recipe

Ashton missile silo
Hi Kastera,

Questions about your edits to the Ashton missile silo page.
 * Are bullet points not required in the layout section?
 * In the Notable loot section, you restored wording which duplicates and rephrases directions from the layout section (Eyebot upgrade circuit board). It does belong in the loot section, but the directions seem clearer in context with the layout. It also contains colloquialisms ("hang a right") and informality. This seems to go against guidelines.

Just wanted reference for my future edits. Could you please explain your reasoning? All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 15:41, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I see, that explains it. :-) I'll go ahead and rewrite it, if that's okay, and edit the circuit board page to match. Is it better to completely remove the directions from the Layout section, or just reword the Notable loot and leave both? This might also mean relocating the other items to Loot, but the directions will then basically duplicate the Layout section. Are they all classed as Notable? Thanks,-- FourWayDiablo (talk) 16:04, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Idea for poll
I was thinking that, as a follow-up to the last poll, what job would YOU want to have in the wasteland. This could include:

Courier (duh) Caravan Guard Caravaneer (the merchant, not the guard) A merchant (maybe even multiple options for what store you would have i.e. guns or food) Mercenary Blackjack or Roulette dealer Prostitute Drifter Performer Raider or thug (it's a living) Sheriff or Guard Running a business (pimp or owning a hotel) Doctor Mechanic Soldier Politician Hunter Town idiot Prospector Farmer Land Baron Shoveling Brahmin shit etc

Obviously there wouldn't have to be this many

Cork core
Greetings, its us, again. Why did you remove our note about cork cores being illegal? (Maybe it should have been "behind the scenes"?)

Ulysses' duster.
Hi Kastera,

Just wanted to check if there was a particular reason that the Ulysses' duster page is shared with his mask. They are part of both part of his character model, but that is not really relevant to a player looking for item info. A simple note under the picture, i.e. "Shown here with mask" would explain things.

This is the only page I have found that is set out like this, and a search for the mask gives a redirect.

I propose adding this page, and linking and cleaning up the duster page.

Would this be a problem, or has it been discussed before somewhere?

All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 23:28, October 10, 2011 (UTC) Page made. Had a few problems with the site during creation (a message said page already exists), so I had to temporarily name it "Ulysses' mask 1". May have been due to the redirects. So if there are two pages now, that's the reason and the extra can be deleted. All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 00:00, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I redirected the mask to Ulysses' duster, because I thought it still is kind of a set, just like the Shefiff's duster and hat. But I can live with the mask having its own page. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 23:46, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * The mask still doesn't appear in the search box. This was kind of the point, as that's where an end user would likely start looking for it. Is this due to the redirect? If so, how would I fix this? Thanks, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 00:07, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the help. It shows up now. I think Jspoelstra's been busy fixing up the loose ends. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 00:16, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Android edits
I did read the article. I moved the information down and put it "Behind the Scenes," as many other articles display cultural references and trivia in such sections apart from the contextual prose (in-game). I also mentioned Dick by name as the idea of the android is not the only means of questioning strict human definition of self, a theme that seemed relevant. Not trying to walk all over people, but I felt the article was more streamlined that way.Heirofgonzo 23:40, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha. I'm going to study the editing process more, I'm fairly new to wiki contribution. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for understanding. Cheers!Heirofgonzo 23:57, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Redirects.
Back to pester you again :-)

I sent this message to Jspoelstra, but it could have come to you. I'm just trying to better understand how redirects work. They are hard to find on the wiki, so I may not need the info much, but I'm interested.

Thanks for your time, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 01:32, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm more confused than I thought. As I mentioned in the other topic, when I tried to create the page I got a message saying it already existed. As it didn't (as far as I could tell from searching) I thought it had gone screwy so I made "Ulysses mask 1" with the intention of renaming once the page existed and I could fix the links. I indeed did not see how to deal with the redirects as you said (you posted that message while I was editing it), so a combination of my misunderstanding and I think all three of us altering the page at once got me even more confused.


 * What I didn't get (from my point of view) is that you said you moved my new content to the page. But what page, if I just created it? Do redirected links have "invisible" pages, or just links?


 * Something tells me this reply has just made things worse... -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 02:05, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

That makes sense. I've never had cause to follow those links, so I never investigated. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. You seemed a bit exasperated in your reply, but I genuinely am trying to understand how this works. I'm just not naturally computer-minded. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 02:43, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sig Pic
Hi Kas, I understand completely about the sig pic parameters. Don't worry, you're not being a pain; Jspoel brought the subject up to me last night already after I had created it too large, and then he gave me a signature to use with the fixed parameters. I am using his version now, as my original sig pic was, as you both mentioned, originally too large. Take care, FalloutGirl   07:31, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Rebreather
Wanted to drop you a line because on the PS3 you can wear helmets and such with the Rebreather. I'm wearing the Mk 2 reinforced combat armor helmet with it right now. IIRC I think I read the Rebreather is actually set to the glasses slot. Message 02:59, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, maybe that or maybe it depends on which type of headgear is being worn. It never removes the combat helmet variants, just my sunglasses. I could maybe try with a metal helmet or power helmet when I get my hands on them. UserGreatMara.pngge 03:07, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I couldn't get to the point where I'm able to wear power armor helmets on my current file but after collecting some things: my 1st Recon Beret stayed on, Ballcap and glasses stayed on, Boomers Helmet stayed on, Centurion helmet came off, all standard combat helmets stayed on but I couldn't get the NCR Ranger version, Dapper Gambler Hat stayed on, Metal Helmets came off, Pre-War Hat stayed on, Recon Armor Helmet stayed on with the rebreather completely over it, Sheriff's Hat stayed on, Space Suit Helmet stayed on, Vexillarius Helmet came off, and White Glove Society Mask came off. And my sunglasses and authority glasses always came off.


 * Sorry if this is a bit long-winded. UserGreatMara.pngge 04:52, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Just happened to see this while on your talk page. Just in case this rebreather thing hasn't been cleared up, the same is true for Xbox. Generally, hats that cover just the top of the head can be worn with it, eyewear cannot and full coverings like metal helmets and ranger helmets cannot. --DeadlyPrey(talk) 20:05, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Tommy gun
Looks good to me! The page could possibly be redirected to Submachine gun, downside of that is that the Tommy gun would show in the search box. So it's fine like it is now. Jspoel  22:39, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

re: Retslaf's death
This is a bit trivial, but I think the inclusion of possible suicide should stay. The placement of the pistol is iffy, but I think it can be filed under limitations of the developers and/or something that was not meant to be thought about too much. The tableau suggests to me that his death was self-inflicted, though personally I think he could just as easily have drunk himself to death.

As far as radiation poisoning goes, I was about to edit out that bit when I remembered Ulysses' explaining that the Marked Man had been tempered by the divide to endure conditions which "ordinary" ghouls (like Retslaf, possibly) couldn't withstand, although iirc, this also had something to do with the devastating high winds present. So, imo, no explanation really makes 100% sense, but they are all plausible I guess. Anyhoo, have a good one o/ --DeadlyPrey(talk) 20:02, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Crafting.
Thanks for your offer of help. Right now I'm just working down the list on the Fallout: New Vegas crafting page, copy-pasting into consumables and doing minor rewrites to clean up. Almost done with food and drink.

As noted by GhostAvatar, I think ammo crafting might need some discussion, so I skipped that for now. The issue would be adding one table for each type, a comprehensive table at the top, or transcluding (or not changing it at all). What do you think? I made some simple examples in my sandbox.

Of course, if you see room for improvement anywhere then let me know.

All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 16:00, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree about the ammo tables. On some pages a transcluded section will be distorted by long infoboxes, and it's easier to add perk requirements, etc. to a small table.


 * Start at the bottom of the chems, and I'll meet you in the middle. :-)

As you suggested, I made a topic on the wiki forum. I also added a quick mock-up of the .45 Auto page as a possible layout. I added Crafting to Variants, as it didn't fit straight after Characteristics. It removed blank space, but will still need some tweaking.

Birthday is the bomb
Thanks for the birthday message. Much appreciated. And you didn't miss it, it's still today where I am. :-)

Yeah, I smiled when I first read the date of the Great War. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it can't be a coincidence. At least I'll have the bestest evar fireworks display!

Promotional crossover content
Hello, Kastera. Can you please look at this forum topic? Your opinion would be highly appreciated. veryblackraven 07:22, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Icons
First of all, what happened to your rank, my friend?? Wikia has docked you 2650 hard earned achievement points. You must have noticed that, right? I'd complain if I were you. And I saw you moving some icons to another category. We don't use the name '... icon images' anymore, but simply '... icons'. So I did some moving again. There's still some work left, the needs to move to Category:Fallout 3 miscellaneous item icons (they are not featuring the Vault Boy) and the  needs to move to Category:Fallout 3 skill book icons. Jspoel  11:30, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Already done a whole lot of work on it. Removed from icons that hadn't the Vault Boy. From what I can see, the New Vegas consumables still need to be done.
 * I've had a bug in my editcount half a year ago. Went from 28,5k to 24,5k. Never got solved. But sweat it out a day or 2 or so I'd say, maybe it will change back. Otherwise, try this link. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 18:29, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I see it. It's almost back to what it should be. You had 6990, I'm sure. But this will make you sleep again better I think. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 19:30, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Porter is a victim of this also. He had 2500 or so, now he's disappeared from the top leaderboard, back at 1800. It ain't fair.

Kastera1000 is annoying wiki
A user you blocked yesterday, called afanoffantos made a wiki the day you blocked him. It's called the Kastera1000 is annoying wiki. It is made and run and by him and he aims to make a site for people to hate on Kastera1000. I found it on his favourite wikis you should take a look. Lonesome courier 20:49, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Found the Wiki, this is hilarious. xD - Hugs [[file:MadeMan2.png|20px|link=User:Scarface11235]] "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Hey since were on this subject, you may want to check his edits. Most of them are really bad like his edit on trouble on the homefront. Lonesome courier 21:35, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it was hilarious anyway, Kas. Hugs [[file:MadeMan2.png|20px|link=User:Scarface11235]] "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

What the heck Kastera1000? Not even a warning? He made a wiki about how much you suck, some kind of punishment must be given. Lonesome courier 21:40, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry

Abominations Page
Hey Kastera, somethings gone wrong with the abominations page, i cannot seem to get the stats for the variants to go under the right subtitle. When i go into edit it shows them as listed under the right variant, but when i look at it in normal mode they aren't. ---bleep196- 15:48, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Cool! That's a nice form of roleplay ;) I went on to give my character my same name and appearance (somehow... Damn Fallout editor, it ages characters exponentially :P) to try and empathize as much as I could with him xD

Yakov
Considering the amount of leeway he has had in the past, the amount of bans, and the amount of second chances he has been given. Also, the fact that Tag lifted the last ban only 3 days ago, after he promised he would behave in the future. I stated that there would be no further leeway given again. He still continued to be disruptive knowing what would happen, even after 4 separate admin/mods gave him warnings on various occasions in chat for posting the same thing (with one smart ass response of 'I will just do it when your gone'). He was given one very last chance and decided to blow it. User Avatar talk.png 15:31, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

One year and still going strong
Hey thanks for the congratulations! I was also very aware of the one year membership today. Also reached another goal I set for myself a few months back, 1,000 edits a week over a year's spantime. Don't think anyone has ever achieved that across all wikis. Really hadn't thought I'd climb the ladder this high when I started out here a year ago. A few goals left, and they're reachable I think. But of course, the most drive comes from the love for the game. Have a beer on me this evening, allright? Jspoel  14:41, November 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I remember you making a 1000 a week, it was somewhere in June I think, just after the start of the achievements and close to you making 10,000 edits in total. I'm on a different level of milestones, 25,000 and 50,000 edits were semi-milestones, I'll consider 100,000 edits a true one. I'm already thinking about what edit I should honor with this one. I already have an idea, but may also ask the community by means of a blog when that time has come. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 18:03, November 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * If I tell you, it won't be a secret anymore! I'm already thinking to make it some kind of contest. And if they make a really, really good suggestion I might change it. Will be a bit of fun I think.

Symbol of Order
Indeed you are! But, I was wondering after I couldn't do it one day at around 138 what was after... Don't suppose you would tell me the name and image of the 365 days one? I'm just so annoyed that I couldn't do it...


 * Thanks a lot Kas. I forgot the most important part! Congratulations :D. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png


 * 5 :|. I was on 138, then I could do it one day. And then I was on 21 and had to miss it again. Don't worry though, I'll get there ;). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png


 * Oh no, it very much a one time deal. That's why I was annoyed about losing out. So, right now I am 5/200 on the Symbol of Order one. Also, I was wondering if you would like to help me with my mini-project on the history. I take it you are somewhat interested after your corrections on the Second Continental Congress page? TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png


 * Haha, that's something I can relate to ;). Not that strong on US history so far, but maybe we can set out some aims etc in chat if you have a few mins spare? I'll wait in there, but I'll check my talk too :). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

Re:Capitalisation
Well, looking over the capitalisation guidelines, it states that names of statistics, perks, traits, and skills are to be capitalised, but it doesn't mention game mechanics or the sort. I would trust your judgement more than mine, as you've been here longer than me and know more about the policies. I'll leave it up to you. 21:56, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It actually says Names of statistics, perks, traits, skills etc. The etc. part is the part that would apply here and in most other cases, but not in cases where it is a user named mechanic (like reverse-pickpocketing). User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 23:06, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say yes. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 23:30, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

History
Indeed ;). Anyway, my plan is to add the Historical figures first that the Fallout Universe could not function without. For example, yesterday I added Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt because otherwise Hoover Dam could not have been named after Hoover, and Roosevelt couldn't have dedicated it to him. Without these two people, the placement of Hoover Dam, with that name would not make sense... You with me so far?


 * Yes, indeed. They need to be concrete. I was the one who added Thomas Jefferson. Look in the edit summaries ;). I was quite shocked that he hadn't been added before... Thing that are absolutely certain need to be added, I agree. Like, I just added John Wilkes Booth, due to the fact that he has a wanted poster, and also he was Lincoln's assassin. However, if there was no poster, I might have in fact disagreed with adding him because there was no other evidence that Lincoln was assassinated in the Fallout Universe. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png


 * Sounds like a good way of doing it to me :). So, what do you think about setting out some aims tomorrow, and then getting cracking on it? TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png 23:27, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, we are now in line with UTC, so the time is 23:33, November 5, 2011 (UTC) :). I won't be on all day, I never am, but I'll make an extra effort to be on as much as possible tomorrow to make a start... TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png 23:33, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

History II
So, as for aims, what do you think of this as a starting, non-exhaustive list?
 * To add pivotal events in US history, before 1945.
 * To add people whom items and buildings would not exist, or couldn't possible make sense to include.
 * To give a brief yet concise account of these if they are not heavily involved in the Fallout world.
 * To provide a link to the respective wikipedia article.
 * To provide images that link in, and illustrate important information nicely.
 * To provide, where possible, a painted portrait for the infobox, and a photograph in the gallery (to add to consistency with articles where getting a photograph would be impossible and to be more aesthetically pleasing).

C-Finder
on fallout new vegas, where would i find amo for the weapon "Euclid's C-Finder"??

Dilemma
Hi, I was wondering wheter I could ask you an in-game question. It might be stupid and maybe banal, but I never managed to find out its answer... I'm playing New Vegas again right now, and I noticed that some objects at full condition, such as Lucky and the Leather armor, reinforced, in my game are always worth one cap less than what's stated here... For instance, the former is worth 1499, and the latter 1199. Do you happen to know why?

Merge citation question...
A couple pages that looked like they should be merged came to my attention. I added them the merge category but was unsure how to cite them properly. How do you edit the info box to provide a reason for the proposed merge? The pages in question, Fallout_3_Enclave_camps and Fallout_3_Enclave_outposts both had your fingerprints on them quite recently, so I thought I would ask you about it. If this this is already on your radar I'd still appreciate your insight. --Xclockwatcher 19:11, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for taking time out to show me the proper text formatting. Your example cleared things up. --Xclockwatcher 01:56, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Merchants
Hi Kastera,

The Merchant page is a bit of a mess, and I suggest splitting it into an overview and game-specific pages.

I made some new tables here (still need tweaking/review) after a discussion with Xclockwatcher.

Yes or no? And is it as as simple as making new pages, or is there more to it?

All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 22:59, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. There's not as much info for Fallouts 1 and 2, what should we do with them? Also, any thoughts on those tables? I asked Porter21 for advice about the hover text, but haven't heard back yet.-- FourWayDiablo (talk) 23:58, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

I moved the info to the new pages, so Merchant just needs to be "overviewed" by you, or me if you tell me what needs doing. I made a start by adding the Game Articles infobox. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 01:51, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for cleaning up the overview page. Much appreciated. -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 04:09, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hover text
Sparked by the Merchant tables, and possibly of more general use, I asked Porter21 (who I would guess is always busy, so hasn't replied yet) about hover text.

I wanted to know if there was a way to make the hover text over Yes and No say something different. The idea being that when you scroll down a table and the headers disappear, it can be confusing to read.

So if you cursor over a green tick, the text would say e.g. "ammo - yes", instead of just "yes", to give the reader a reference point.

I experimented, but got nowhere. Have you any idea if this could be done? I'm thinking some sort of pipe and brackets in the code which could be tailored to purpose.

All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 04:29, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I know it's not a big deal, but I found I was scrolling up and down to keep track of what I was looking at. It would also make editing tables a bit easier to navigate. My trials just resulted in weirdly borked redlinks >_<.


 * On the same subject of clarity, what are your thoughts on this (to save me typing it again).-- FourWayDiablo (talk) 05:08, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've explained to FourWayDiablo how to add hovering text to yes/no icons, so you don't have to figure it out anymore. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 13:18, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, Nos it is. I'm happy either way, and what you say makes sense. All the best, -- FourWayDiablo (talk) 00:10, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

The Infiltrator is also a named variant of the R91 series assault rifle, with a different model, higher crit damage and value. Yet that isn't unique. Another (more perfect) example would be the Ranger Sequoia in FNV. Without it being fully implemented, it is speculation how the resource would have been utilised in the end game, no matter how educated the guess is. Granted, it is most likely to have been a unique weapon, but if one exception exists to the rule, then nothing can be assumed. User Avatar talk.png 00:05, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would not consider any of them to be unique, for the simple fact that they where cut. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 00:17, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Porter has made a fair comment in regards to cut weapons and there uniqueness, see my talk page. I may have to reconsider my stance. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 22:00, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The Canadians may or may not be on the side of the Chinese. This conflict is part of the Resource Wars and both the Campaigns had to logically be durring this event.--Ant2242 00:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

RE: Still there is no evedence they fought together. That is speculation.--Ant2242 01:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

RE,RE:Not principly. From what I gathered the Canandians wanted and activley saught was there independance. There indivigual countries independant existance and freedom. If the Chinese had any hold on Canandian lands they most likely would have fought them tooth and nail as well. Also i think that the Chinese givin the opertunity of the Americans would have done the same exact same thing, if not worse. Ex.

 * Infobox event supports up to 4 separate forces, so they should still be added since they where involved in the war. The question is, did they fight in unison with China or in spite of China. Since there is no evidence I know of that shows them to have worked jointly with China, I would consider them to be a 3rd force in the conflict.

Yes Man
I am not questioning if it was the top search, I know it was at the time. What I am question is was that the reason they used it. I find it hard, especial for such a large company who developed a whole game and design every other new elements themselves, to then borrow something so simple for such a prominent and central part of the game (that they could not be bothered or where unable to do themselves) from a Google image search - that is most likely copyrighted. It could be in fact the reverse, since pre-release screen shots existed before the game launch, that someone else ripped off the Yes Man face for there own design, since it wouldn't have been such a well know central figure prior to the game launch.

HELIOS One
To make it consistent with the decapitalization policy we have. HELIOS isn't an acronym, nor is ARCHIMEDES, which is why I decapped it.

Crafting
I am doing it by hand, as it has been implemented in different ways through out the pages. That and I am also going through all consumables and bringing them up to the same standard in other areas. So you are more than welcome to help. User Avatar talk.png 18:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That is going to have to sit as a note below the crafting table for the moment. When Porter gets back after the holidays, I will ask if it is possible for inclusion into the table. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 19:17, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, just watch out for MFC, ECP, and SEC for FNV. The conversion tables are best left as is I think. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 13:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, a lot better left. Also with ammo. I think it looks better to spread the crafting table through out the page, instead of presenting the reader with a wall of tables, see 12 gauge shotgun shell (Fallout: New Vegas) as an example.

Wikify
Well, overview pages are supposed to be disambig page that also provide info about the lore only. So in terms of lore, brahmin steak is brahmin meat, just like bacon is pork in the real world. Brahmin meat would be a general term for all derivative forms of brahmin meat that are edible, so steak, Wellington etc. And there is no issue with creating "Brahmin meat (Fallout: New Vegas)" even if it exists only in one game.

Gojira
Considering we don't know for sure that it would have been unique (could have been used like the giant ant queen). Also, considering it only has a unique GECK name and not in-game name, I would treat it like any of the legendary creatures. User Avatar talk.png 18:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I will have a look at adding some to it tomorrow. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 02:06, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Raider armor
They were merged into one page because they're identical stat-wise. I don't see much of a need to split them again. Ausir 21:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Same with the slave outfits - they were originally merged for that reason too. Ausir 21:52, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Please do. Generally, the policy so far has been that item variants with the same stats should be merged - same e.g. with power armor (Fallout 3), which covers all the T-45d variants in FO3 (Brotherhood, Outcast) with same stats and only slightly different appearance.

Both conversations together
Firstly, what's been stressing you out that you needed a break, it's only a project ;). Is this the kind of 'spring break' that one hears about even over the atlantic, or the kind that teachers have? On that note, what do you teach content wise? I know you do history, but you must do something other than US history because of the distinct lack there-of ;).

As for the reviews, what do you mean? A blog or something? And what are you stuck on, maybe I could help? Or the world largest fallout-database could *looks around*.

And not too bad thanks, been a tad ill and bored of work but nothing to complain about really. I got a new game, Sengoku (after Sengoku Jidai, "the age of the country at war" or "the warring states period" of Japan's history. Look it up if you haven't heard of it, it's really interesting; been one of my favourite history subjects for 10yrs or so, so more than half my life ;). Anyway, the game is a RT Grand Strategy game, and is really challanging. It's also really realistic in the idea of times to get to places, the amount of land one can effectively manage, watching the opinions of vassals and how powerful they are, if they are more popular, making sure your heir is elected head of your clan - all in all, quite enthralling, so that's how I've been getting through. If you like strategy, I really recommend it, especially because it is astoundingly cheap.

And, okay, I'll do that for you over there. Give me a while though, I'm going to take a bath and I'll do it when I get back :) Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 20:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * All done over there too :). Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 21:00, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Really squeezing what you can from US history then? ;) And I can see where you are coming from with the trying to focus on too many things at once, I'm in exactly the same predicament. It's tough to focus well enough on one thing at the moment, the man draw back for me being I keep letting 'interests' slip through my fingers, but still, got to make do with what yo do have (in other areas of course, I'm no womaniser ;))
 * It sounds to me like you are trying to force yourself to do reviews that you don't want to, so what's the point? I'd leave it if you don't feel you can write it, maybe it's really motivation that is the issue? If not, then replaying it sounds like a good idea to me, and it's not something that would be tedious to do either...
 * Ah, you see I like RPGs and Strategy (not necessarily Real-time) quite equally. I'm currently up to 11% of Japan, so 39% more and I can claim the shogunate. How is your Japanese history? Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 18:02, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess so, but are you not allowed to teach the history of other nations? You could do so many different things with history; it's the richest tapestry there is! Everything man kind has ever done comes under history on way or another. And yes, that didn't go so well. You'll love a story I remember Stephen Fry talking about,

"This embassy [in London], as with many U.S. embassies in the world, is situated on land that is not owned by the U.S. government. The land is leased from the Duke of Westminster who, when asked if he would sell the land outright, responded that he would if the U.S. Government would return the land that belonged to his family in the U.S. before it was confiscated during the Revolutionary War. The Duke refused to grant a freehold because, from the Duke's perspective, the U.S. Government had stolen some of his ancestor's estates in Virginia."

- Wikipedia Embassy of the United States, London page.
 * Sounds like a plan to write Lonesome Road first, maybe working backwards will help jog your memory some way or another. I only have the 'needs to perfect from the start' problem when I am doing art-work; writing reems straight off seems to be easy for me,, but then again all I've done for the last two years are essay subjects, and then next year I'll be off to do my history BA, with the masters the next year. So it's a blessing I guess, albeit a learned one ;).
 * As for Japan, if I could recommend any history in the world, it would be between that and the Roman's transformation from republic to autocracy (about 200 years either side). Especially look up this: definitely one of the most interesting and colourful characters of the period. And no, they weren't nice at all, but I don't think they could've feasibly done it any other way. Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 00:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Understandably so, so I shan't press you. Let's face it, as soon as China got involved, no-one stood a chance at holding them back. There was one point where a single British division was holding a hill, so the Chinese sent 10000 men at it. In comparision of sheer numbers, that was simply ridiculous. So, what about the Vietnam war and your father? Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 23:07, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

User Account Migration - Assistance Required
Hi, Kastera. I figured I'd come to you first, since you're really the only admin I've spoken to. I'm Axelskox, and I can guarantee it, but I used Facebook to sign up for my account on Wikia and now I can't get logged in here. I know, stupid idea, but I really didn't expect this was gonna happen. I hope you can help. If you need verification, check my user page on Nukapedia. 50.102.39.192 02:59, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, Kas, just ignore that message. I've given up on getting my page back, and I'll just do a full rip of my old userpage. I wish this site wasn't nearly as convoluted...or maybe that Wikia hadn't been a giant ass in the first place. But, yeah, I used to be Axelskox. My old Wikia userpage confirms it. I hope I can get back to where I used to be rather quickly, because this is starting to annoy me, always starting over.

Thanks
Nice to see that at least someone I know when I first came is still around editing - thanks. It's nice to have one friend still floating around in the ether ;). I must admit, I thought that the Vault would be the one that survived the split, but I think the argument over Ausir's rights to the name et cetera damaged that, as well as people not having the patience to get a handle on this editing software. Personally, I think Porter has made it so much better, and like it was when I first came. Maybe that's why some people don't like it, because it's not what they were 'raised' with, but I thought humanity's key strength was adaption... Anyway, I went severely off track there, sorry. What I was aiming to come and say was thanks for giving me a reason to still come (even though I think most of us get addicted ;)), and it's nice that there is still someone around. The majority of the time it's just me and you, so I'm glad that I consider you a friend and one of my favourite people here since I got here (the other of course being gone (Sad that I'm still holding out hope he might come back isn't it? And that he'll choose the Vault)). So yeah, thanks. Not sure why I felt the need to say thanks like this to you, but at least you know that I've noticed what you've done here, and for me, and that I at least appreciate it.

 * Mmmm, maybe it's because you have a gravity and magnitism that makes you more noticable than other run-of-the-mill users such as myself. It seems like you are hoping he will come back to if you look at the phrasing of that last sentence. If anything, at least we have all that concept art, and as for the content, I'd like to believe you, but I don't know. There are more people adding lots of content there, such as MysteryStranger doing what I want to do in the Summer with the F01 and 2 articles. I think what it'll boil down to is where people on the fence choose when FO4 comes out, or information at least comes out. -- <font face="Courier New">GOTW '''User 13:44, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * And where will your allegiance then lie? Will you stay here? Is there much point if we are adding information that no-one will see? I don't know how we can solve this, and Ausir's lack of presence is making me question my initial unwavering support for him. Why he let Wikia keep a version is beyond me, and already they've far surpassed us on pages. I know I personally can do something, but I'm also acutely aware of the fact that if I don't cut my presence here, then I will end up with no university to go to next year. We need to do something or we'll end up being an active wiki with no patrons, and with an archive that is of high standards but with noone to read. No matter the standard of wikia's one, we are losing the battle at the moment. So Mr. Washington, how do we win an apparently doomed war?

 * (Pardon my interuption.) Sounds like we need to make the curse community site more friendly to users. It still seems to me like two seperate sites instead of one where people con communicate freely. That is the only real thing that wikia has on us. Come to think of it that and the ability to cheak sister wikis from the same site. Not that I don't agree with you about fallout 4 we'll need some sort of at least timed exclusive information about it to bing us up the google ladder.--Ant2242 22:53, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

 * That seems like it could be a decent enough idea, but the trouble I can see in it is two-fold. Most of the admins here are inactive and so it would be difficult to find a time when everyone can gather, but the second is that it would need to be at least psuedo-clandestine as I know for a fact that people at Nukapedia come over here to steal our ideas (not in a particularly harmful way), but if they catch on to what we are thinking, then they may do the same to make sure any advantage we try to conjure up. That rules out forum pages unfortunately, unless we are willing to brave it or to create an advantage that couldn't possibly be replicated - such as using Porter's wizardry or our extra freedom here at Curse. -- <font face="Courier New">GOTW '''User 22:10, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Not sure what to put the header as
Hi Kas,

I was reading your reviews of the FO3 games this evening, and afterwards, I read the page on this that you put a link to in. However, whilst reading it I was very oddly compelled to tears, and felt an unexplainable terror. After finishing, again not sure why, I started to fear for my life. Therefore, needing to tell someone in my head, I am sending you this message. I'll state now, I'm not drunk.

If I wake up, I'll message you and attempt to rationalise this, but it's eerie.

-- <font face="Courier New">GOTW '''User 00:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Finally got the internet back, so I can confirm I'm alright. It was odder than that though, I've read that kind of thing before and it had no effect on me, but this time it wasn't even what I was reading, it sort of was being overcome by waves. Now when I say crying, I mean it was making my eyes well up, I managed to hold back actual tears, but it was really weird because as I say, it was detached from what I was reading, as was the fear. None of the account scared me, but it was an overriding feeling that I couldn't control, as was the idea that for some reason I wasn't going to wake up. And then at the end, I felt the need to tell someone just in case, and as I'd just read your reviews, you were the only one I could think of.


 * I must admit, I know you are probably thinking I've gone mad, am trying to get attention, or was bored or something similar, but I literally cannot explain what was going through my head. There was more emotion than it is possible to generate reading a wikipedia page. I don't know why either. Anyhow, I'm going to attempt to forget that this happened, and if anything I'll make a short story using the feelings, but I don't really want to dwell on the reasons why. I bet my Mum would say I was Barney in a past life or something ridiculous ;).


 * As for aliens in general, no I don't think that we are 'alone' as such, as it is statisically extremely likely that there are other sentient life forces out there. However, I find UFOs (maybe because I'm taking a human angle) unlikely because if a species has generate long range space travel, or the ability for it rather, then the likely-hood is that that species is more or less united. To be united and have stability would require leadership, and all creatures with intelligence have leaders on an even more basic level. Therefore, I think it would be safer to assume that an alien race would attempt to contact our leaders rather than abduct random people. At the end of the day, we have all the biological knowledge on what is inside us that they could possibly desire.


 * But yeah, sorry about this :) -- <font face="Courier New">GOTW '''User 11:55, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

RE: Swampfolk faction
I believe they are, they are human-originated mutants. Not necessarily civilized ones but they are mutants. I think of theem as extra amimalistic tribals. I'm positive that it's vaguely touched upon in the DLC, but they are referenced as a faction in the Guide. Hears what it says exactily;

Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.44-45: "Although Point Lookout did not suffer a direct hit during the Great War, the radioactive fallout can be seen in the indigenous population that have slowly devolved over the decades, and now sport the "Point Lookout look." Sporting sinewy, pockmarked bodies oozing with strength and pus, the Swampfolk are a violent and stupid bunch, and they don't take well to strangers. They have a rudimentary belief system, and mark their territory (which is everywhere north and west of Point Lookout Township) with fetishes: straw dolls hanging from trees and bone totems. Anthropologists have speculated the Swampfolk have a belief in the occult, and some postulate they pray to a hitherto unknown entity named Ug-Qualtoth. Frighteningly strong, and ferociously territorial, they are among the most dangerous adversaries you may face."''

P.S. thanks for the help with the Smugglers faction.
