User talk:TheBearPaw

Hi there!
Welcome to our Fallout wiki and thank you for your contributions! I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.

A little help to get you started:
 * Recent changes lets you see what other people are editing right this minute and where you can help. You can also check our community portal for things to do.
 * If you haven't already, create a user page about yourself. If you do, we'll be able to know you better as a member of our community.
 * If you have questions, you can ask in our forums, join the live chat in our IRC channel or post a message on my talk page.
 * The help pages can help you learn how to edit and how use the wiki tools. The Vault's policies and guidelines can help you with putting those tools to good use and getting up to speed with our editing customs.

I'm glad to have you here and look forward to working with you!

By default...
The Lone Wanderer would be referred to as a "he" by default. CheezeWEEPツ 19:57, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the above is in reference to, but it is incorrect. The Lone Wanderer is referred to on all article pages by gender-neutral phrasing.--Gothemasticator 20:08, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I must have seen it somewhere, okay then. CheezeWEEPツ 20:09, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

PipBoy
Please stop changing the links. In the event that the New Vegas 3000 is wildly different from the Capital Wasteland 3000, it'll need a whole new article and the main template will be useless. Nitty Tok. 14:49, February 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a standard page format for item pages. While you're right that it's a bit over the top in this specific instance, I'd prefer to keep it for consistency with other item overview pages. In addition, it's more convenient for readers to have the appearance info right in the section for the respective model than having to scroll to the top or bottom of the article. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Fusion Pulse Charge
Quest names are left normal if they're a sidequest, bold if they're a main quest, and italics if they're an unmarked quest. In addition, we don't usually do that in the text; just in infoboxes and tables. Nitty Tok. 14:45, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, nice, I didn't know that. Great of you to tell me this, before I made more trouble in other articles. ;) --TheBearPaw 14:58, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Capitalization
The Forum:capitalization guidelines are still being discussed, but the general consensus is to leave the creature and race names in lowercase. Don't change them to uppercase spelling, even if the in-game spelling is predominately uppercase (but it still varies, within each game and between games). I'm reverting your changes. Ausir(talk) 15:25, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Allright, I rushed in without reading that guidlines page and got slapped again. ;) I will provide my arguments and participate in the discussion in that forum when I have time. --TheBearPaw 18:43, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Italics
While it is true that game titles, like Fallout 3, are generally italicized, we don't italicize page titles. So, there is no need to italicize game titles in direct links to article pages, as in Fallout 3 exploits. Please do not make any more such changes. Thank you.--Gothemasticator 11:24, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, when the text mentions the page Fallout 3 exploits, leave it unitalicized. When the text mentions the Fallout games, and a link is added, it is fine to write it like so: Fallout games. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 11:28, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Owww, I got it. Keep up the good work.;) --TheBearPaw 14:03, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

James
We only list one role, affiliation, and location in NPC infoboxes. For important NPCs like James, this means just listing the first appropriate entry. The rest is covered in the article text.

Also, the Vault Dweller is male by canon, confirmed by dialogue in FO2.--Gothemasticator 11:49, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Gender
I had the same question with the same reasoning a while back. Here's what Ausir had by way of explanation.--Gothemasticator 21:49, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Article discussion pages
...are for discussions about editing the article itself. Please refrain from posting gameplay, game content, questions or observations on article discussion pages. Instead, please use our forums. I have moved the Railway Rifle discussion to Forum:Railway_Rifle:_Does_it_pay_off%3F. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 05:00, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Scorpions
They spawn in MZ depending on whether you've got Broken Steel or not. They are not included in the add-on, unlike Point Lookout's reaver. Nitty Tok. 12:28, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * In case you have doubts, this is a point that I verified myself using the GECK to view the contents of the Zeta.esm file. Kris (talk) 16:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Unprofessional
Darn, I guess Wikia's gonna have to dock my pay by 20%... let's see, 20% of 0 is...0. :P Kris   mailbox  15:52, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Blog
Well, I can take that down right now. Sorry, I don't want to make it seem like I have something against you, but I think that we are going to be a bit more strict on what classifies as news on here. I think that we basically want news that pertains to one of the Fallout games that gives information about it. That's basically all. TrailerParkApe Spew 21:10, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I read about it, but I wasn't an admin at the time, and now that I am, I think it's better to get off to a head start. I'll go make my comment on that forum right now. It's just that when it comes to blogs that isn't news, sometimes it can prevent people from reading blogs that are news. TrailerParkApe Spew 21:26, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes I know. I know what a democracy is, but still just because one thing hasn't be voted doesn't mean it can't be acted upon. I just want the news channel on the blogs to be clean. I know, that you want to show your find to the people here, but it doesn't classify as news. The tattoo doesn't say that J.E. Sawyer has released a bunch of new information about the games. If that was the case, then it would stay up there. It's just to keep things clean, and let people read about actual information about the game. I know this is going to be see-saw battle and it's going to go back and forth, but I just want you to be able to understand what I'm doing and it's to help out other people. TrailerParkApe Spew 21:37, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand your point of view. I'll still be keeping an eye out for bogus blogs. Hopefully, there is something implemented that will allow for those "fun" type of blogs and the more "serious" blogs. That way everyone wins. TrailerParkApe Spew 21:56, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I guess so, but I won't be allowing those other ones back up. And, we'll also see what one of the other admins decides to do. TrailerParkApe Spew 22:03, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Offensive comments
I removed the "suck my dick" part of your comment on the wide skin petition - this kind of insultive comments is not allowed here. Ausir(talk) 19:39, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Fallout series
I think it's better to leave PS3 listed before Xbox 360 - this way the order will be alphabetical, so a bit more "objective". Ausir(talk) 12:29, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, understood. --TheBearPaw 12:36, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

TheBearPaw of Deus Ex Wiki ?
Hey WTH, TheBearPaw of Deus Ex Wiki right ? It's really nice to see you here my friend ;)!

I focus on Fallout for now, and the Deus Ex Wiki did not have enough activity so I returned to The Vault (may be I will return once Deus Ex: Human Revolution come out and all Fallout: New Vegas DLC are released).

Well, nice evening and see you soon my friend =)! Itachou [~talk~] 22:20, June 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it's very nice of you, and seeing your work principally on the Deus Ex Wiki, I can also say that you are also a very good editor =). Have a nice day my friend and keep up the good works, see you around! Itachou [~talk~] 14:52, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Italic name
Hello my friend ;)

Well in fact, we used "italic" generally for something unnamed (like support mothership or other vehicles), to differentiate them for named or unique. But you're also right, unique names should also be distinguished (like used on Wikipedia). Hum... sincerely I don't have a real universal proposition (if you have one, send me a message), my method is to italic the first time the unique name appears and after then leave normal (like Zeta for example).

I think it would be a good discussion on the forum with the community to really instore a clear police on the subject. Keep up the good works Bear, nice evening and see you around =)! Itachou [~talk~] 16:08, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Radscorps
So you're concerned that readers will think albinos show up in MZ regardless of downloading BS? That's what I'm hearing. So I made this edit. It lets people know that albinos only spawn with BS, and still allows the Appearances to be brief and clear cut, the way it's supposed to be. Kastera (talk) 18:39, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

If you have a moment of spare time, I'd appreciate your input on these forum discussions: Thanks in advance. -- Porter21 (talk) 19:13, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
