I popped your cherry
Hi, I removed the Cassidy TH art from his page. Although it is very nice, it is a piece of Continuum's fan art. Cheers. - Dude101 18:44, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Primitive Tribe
Hello my friend ;)

Please don't add fan-mod information in page, like Primitive Tribe. Nice evening and see soon! Itachou [~talk~] 20:19, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem! The cut content pages often have the cut content icon or something - the only cut content area apart the Primitive Tribe in the Restoration mod is the EPA, that's all. Ho, I think your idea to indicate the squares it's not bad (always hard to find areas when play a new game of Fallout 2). Itachou [~talk~] 20:37, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ha! The power armor in the Restoration mod is also fan-made ^^! All companion have a special version of the power armor in the mod. Itachou [~talk~] 21:22, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha no problem my friend, I'm an admin, I'm here to help ;). I saw your image, I knew what you were going to do, so =)! Well, keep up the good works and good luck for the Fallout 1 area tomorrow! Itachou [~talk~] 21:32, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hello my friend ;)

Also, I forgot to tell you, the Abbey is a cut content so don't add information in the page about this (I see you have edit Tully, and in the Restoration mod, he come comes from here =), so better to point out). Itachou [~talk~] 17:35, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes the Abbey should not be mentioned ;). And keep up the good works! Itachou [~talk~] 18:50, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

HH quest page edits
Try to add a bit more data to HH quest pages before saving. It's all getting a bit to close to achievement boosting, when I see things like this Jspoel 14:07, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, we were messaging each other at the same moment, different subjects. And I read Dude101's message to you, about Cassidy's talking head image. I'll take it up with Itachou, he will know what do to. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 14:15, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cut content
Hello Guardian ;)

Well, the only information that you can add on it are only those in the basic game. For the characters often, things that indicate that he was being are their dialog files, which remained in the game. For Connar, the dialog files is here: Vcconnar.msg. You can see in the infobox of Connar page that the dialog files is put.

If you want to complete a cut content character, look only at the dialog files, It enables to make no mistake ;). Oh, I look at your contributions, sincerely nice job for now (Shi Emperor is well writen!) ;). Itachou [~talk~] 16:58, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

U welcome man, if u have questions feel free to ask me. Anytime.(Nemerian 17:03, June 7, 2011 (UTC))

FO1 and 2 characters project
Hello Guardian ;)

Allright of course, I take a look! Itachou [~talk~] 13:43, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I saw all your pages and they are very well written and the details are nicely placed, I just changed a little the Lumpy page but it's a good work my friend, keep it up =)! Itachou [~talk~] 16:02, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome =), and thanks for its pages, the characters of Fallout 2 are a bit put aside right now, it's cool to see someone does them. Nice day and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 16:44, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Haha!
Next time maybe ;). Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 20:02, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Van Buren
I found most of the information on the design documents. A lot of it was already there, I did some quest adding, rearranging, linking and updating infoboxes. You can use the documents to update it further. Keep in mind the character layout guideline. Jspoel 21:39, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
You might want to try linking your image to your talk page otherwise when people click on it they'll just end up on the image page. --User Avatar talk.png 20:57, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep that's perfect. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 21:09, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * For the images? Yeah. You can view my signature code by pressing edit on this section if you're curious. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 21:18, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your signature still needs some work. It's too big. According to the policy, it "must be no larger than 40 pixels in width and 20 pixels in height". That’s because otherwise it pushes the lines above and below it. Yours is 35px in height. So you need to bring it down to 20px. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 21:30, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't obligate you, but you would do me a favor if you set it to 15px. I still think it's a little too big.

Fonts
Hello my friend ;)

What do you mean by fonts? Talking about my user page? The fonts it's different only in images, in The Vault you can't changed fonts. Also, your new tag is nice, I always like this Vault boy with a british uniform =)! Grenadier Guards really emerges the fact of being "guardian of law and hope". Itachou [~talk~] 21:13, June 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, older games are sometimes better than the new generation. If you want, I almost add any nice older games I played on my user page, if you feel like to see =).


 * Yes you can help. If you see a strong "important" character in melee weapons, unarmed or with a high level of one skill in the game, let me know ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 21:41, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yes Jspoelstra have right for sign, I had forgotten that policy. But well don't worry, it remains nice!

Hehe yes for Sulik, you pick the thing ;) (I also always give him a super Sledge. Sulik with guns? Haaa no, it's not for me)!

The principe is to add skilled "important person and companion" in the skill page related with it (Sulik in Melee weapons pages for exemple). Like I write in Jspoelstra talk page, for unarmed page it would give: ==Notable unarmed figthers== It's simple for all combat skills, but for other it's more harder for find people. Well I think the best is you attach to a particular skill (me I'm in unarmed and melee weapons for now), and try to search and remember what characters had a high level in it. For the description, The Vault have already so much pages so the character in question will necessarily be in The Vault. If you want to make test, don't forget you have your sandbox ;). I go sleep my friend it's late in France, good night and see you soon! Keep up the good works! Itachou [~talk~] 22:09, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Guns skill and some things
Hello GuardianOfTheWastes ;)

For Guns, it's only for Fallout: New Vegas, so only Fallout: New Vegas characters are to put in this page. For Small guns and Big guns, all characters except those in Fallout: New Vegas =).

I live in the department of Yvelines in the region of Île-de-France (near Paris) =). And you, you are in the UK right, in England? Wales like Christian Bale? Scotland? North Ireland? I like UK, especially this culture, Grenadier Guards are impressive and shows at any point of view the respect and the exigency of British, and the Wales flag with the dragon is very nice (I like country flag, I memorized a large numbers when I was young).

For the jet lag I'm not sure. My last message was in 22h09 (10:09 pm) in The Vault, and in France it was at this moment 00h45 (12:45 pm). So I don't know if it was -1 hour for you or if you're in the time of The Vault. Nice evening and see you around my friend! Itachou [~talk~] 18:43, June 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I agree with you, historical event and tradition should be preserved, for the honnor of the country and for never lost its history =). Hehe you just near London like me for Paris, it's nice to have a large city (especially the capital) near the home for find work and make shopping.


 * I think you talk about the Republican Guard, with a Napoleon era style uniform and sword. Yes they can be compared to the Grenadier Guards of London in a sense =). They responsible for providing security in important public buildings in Paris, for the highest national personalities, made patrols in horseback (particularly in the forests of Île-de-France) and transporting and escorting urgent organ transplants. They can also support, only in emergency, other law enforcement forces.


 * Yes, we have a similar parade to the Trooping the Colour in France. It's the Bastille Day Military Parade (Défilé militaire du 14 Juillet in French), a military parade held annually since 1880 in the Champs-Élysées in Paris to commemorates the storming of the Bastille (a fortress and prison of France's king, the first major event in the French Revolution) on 14 July 1789. The 14 July is also the National Celebration in France ;).


 * I think going at least once in England, United States, Japan, Poland and Russia before dying (I've done Italy for now). Well, I was pleased to talk to you my friend, good luck for Guns page Guardian and see you soon ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 21:14, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Haha right, large city for live is also not my style for all the reasons you mentioned =).

In fact, the horseback is only for patrols, especially in forest. Yes, I think we can talk about recycling for today task, but despite that, their number is small and only the elite is able to integrate them, like your Grenadier Guards =).

France have also many police. Gendarmerie is a military force although they looks like police. Relations between the two are often tense. I will not go into too much detail because I don't know enough about that, Wikipedia is better than me on the subject with a nice template in the end of the page, sorry can't tell you more =(!

Like you, I don't judge anyone on their origins, only on his behavior toward others and how they do things. I find it stupid to hate a country and its people today just because the country make a war 400 years ago (to most recent conflicts, the wounds will fade over time). France and England have had a lot of misunderstanding, but it belongs to the ancestors, it is their choice, their way of thinking, this is only the history of the country and the people of today are not responsible. Respect for history allows us to understand how we got there. In fact, I sincerely believe that the true philosophy and the answers to most questions about contemporary life that is in the comprehension and the knowledge about history.

Yes you are right, the storming of the Bastille was during the French Revolution, when France still have a king (the following years with the 1st Republic was under the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte). At the moment, it's the 5th republic since 1958 ;), start with the President Charles de Gaulle.

I noticed all the places you told me, it's very nice of you, I think going to the side of London for a first visit but England is not very far away now, I think I can come back later, the west coast seems to be beautiful, especially New Forest and Exmoor! I also like the view of Lake District from the Walla Crag.

Thank you for the discussion, it was nice like always ;)! Nice evening and see you soon Guardian! Itachou [~talk~] 21:02, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Benny
Hello my friend ;)

Benny is a major character of FNV and an antagonist. In addition, his "Guns" skill is tagged. Also, his level varies depending on your, if you are level 35, Benny will not be so weak =) (you can fight him if you choose to kill him in the Tops).

See you later Guardian! Itachou [~talk~] 16:59, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hehe thanks for the compliment, you are also a nice guy and your editing is getting stronger time to time ;).


 * Yes =). In fact, for Fallout and Fallout 2, almost all characteristic is on the "Fallout 2 mapper" (read Fallout map is harder since they are not in the same format, despite the game engine is the same). See Garl Death-Hand or Yakuza for an example of characteristic we can get with the mapper (taggued skills is impossible to get).


 * For Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, it's with the G.E.C.K., more precise than the old mapper of Fallout 2. An example of character edition and visualization with Benny, with view of some characteristic (sorry, the text of skills is in French) =


 * For Fallout Tactics, it has also a mapper, but I never really look into it. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel it's a console game so no mapper, but I think in the game files, we can find some really nice stuff!


 * I go eat my friend, I return after, see you later ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 19:24, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

You talk about the Fallout 2 mapper? You can find it in NMA here ;):

And you probably need to put it in High Resolution, the patch is also in NMA:

If you have any problem, tell me my friend =)! Itachou [~talk~] 21:07, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
No, I didn't know I messed up your signuature. How can I do that, you're the one creating it. Anyway, nice signature, the font goes really well with it. Jspoel 21:09, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Mysterious stranger son
Hello my friend ;)

Well for the mysterious stranger son, the developers have done all to show he was the son of the mysterious stranger (the dialogue, the style of his son and his personal magnum running the sound of the mysterious stranger). In fact, there is no point that demonstrates the opposite.

I come back later my friend, I will do my strength training, see you later =)! Itachou [~talk~] 15:09, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Skills
Hello my friend ;)

Yes, for all skills. It should has a good knowledge of the characters for FO1, FO2, FOT and FOBOS (since mapper doesn't show skills) and the GECK for FO3 and FNV because they are things we can not see in-game, unlike the weapons that the character uses. Skills must be of +70% to be significant =). Itachou [~talk~] 14:54, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Sandbox
I have had to delete your sandbox as you created it on the mainspace accidentally. It should be "User:GuardianOfTheWastes/sandbox". I apologise for any confusion. --User Avatar talk.png 14:58, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's alright, feel free to use the link I've provided as I intended to make it easier to create a new one. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 15:00, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Buildings
Ho my friend, since you make image for buildings of Fallout-Fallout 2 for now, can you also take an image with interior view (for see people, layout etc...) and put it in the Gallery section? When you feel like it of course, it's just an idea, it would nice for The Vault ;). Keep up the good works Guardian and see you around! Itachou [~talk~] 15:18, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Take a screen several times by changing the position of your character. This is the technique we use to have the entire area map without our character is visible, like in New Reno or Modoc. Some time ago, I do the Maltese Falcon page in interior view. But don't feel obliged to do that ;), I saw your image of the building was beautiful and so it was a proposal that came like that in my mind. The best editions are always the ones we personally want to do. Good luck my friend, I have not yet replied to your personal message, because in fact, it takes me a long time to make a large proper paragraph in English but don't worry, when I have a large time before me, I'll take care =). Itachou [~talk~] 15:32, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

The Rawhide Saloon page is perfect, good job and nice initiative for the creation ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 15:35, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice job, it's perfect ;). After reflection, I think it's better directly in the infobox. What do you think my friend? Itachou [~talk~] 16:16, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

All right, we will do in the gallery section =). I must go eat and after I normally return to The Vault, see you later Guardian ;)!Itachou [~talk~] 16:21, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion
It's done =)! Itachou [~talk~] 17:02, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

It is another account with bot statues that I use for automated editing with a external app. User Avatar talk.png 13:12, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Map
I'm not really sure what to really put on the page though. FinalWish 14:11, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah you probably should so I can get an idea, then I'll work on keeping it up-to-date. FinalWish 14:24, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Sheriff's office
You can rename pages yourself by opening the drop-down menu to the rightside of the edit button. But is it really necessary to rename it? If it's actually called Sheriff's office just leave it like that. And the New California Republic Sheriff's Department, is that the name as it appears in-game? If it's Sheriff's Department (without New California Republic) I'd rename it to Sheriff's department (NCR town) (lowercase d). And the same thing goes for Redding Sheriff's department. Is that the name in-game? If not, then make it Sheriff's department (Redding). But as said, as it appears in-game should be first priority with naming a page. If it's exactly the same name (Sheriff's department), split them by town's name like I explained above. Jspoel 14:23, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why did you capitalize department? I asked you not to. And I asked you to add town behind NCR, to make clear it's refering to the town, not the faction. And I wonder why you prefer to name it department over office.

Removing Images
I appreciate the advice. I am actually about to send a message to one of the admins about it because someone has put a lot of images from movies, tv shows, etc on the Van Buren characters. I've left pictures I'm unsure of but a lot of them are stamped with 'Getty Images' somewhere so I'm sure someone else owns them. But you're right, can't hurt to notify an admin to cover my butt.Nectu 14:29, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate the offer of help. As I said I left a good bit of the images. There were, for example, a few generic pictures of Native Americans for some of Gaia's followers. I felt this appropriate to the theme, and the images have no copyright that I'm aware of, so I left them. The ones I took down were pictures from the Sopranos, Clint Eastwood movies, things like that that could potentially get the wiki in trouble. I went ahead and messaged an admin about it so they can look into it. Last thing I need is to be accused of something erroneous.


 * And its much appreciated. Apparently they were fine to use X( I'm thoroughly embarrassed about the whole thing. A picture of Clint Eastwood from the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly just seemed like something a fanboy would post as a placeholder to me. Nectu 14:46, July 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed. As I have just told Ghost, I love the nature of the admins around here. I've been on too many sites where they don't care for your reasoning and the most minor annoyance will get you kicked. Its nice that the Fallout wiki is so much more friendly. Nectu 14:56, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Page renaming
That wasn't a disambig page, that was a redirect page. Usually you don't see those, but if a redirect page points to a redirect page, then the second one is displayed. In this case we had a triple redirect (a redirect page pointing to a redirect page which points to another redirect page which points to the actual article) which I fixed. All you need to do in such a situation is make sure that all the redirects in the chain redirect to the actual article page, like so: #REDIRECTSheriff's department (Redding) - that should be the entire contents of the page. Anything before it might make it not work, and anything after it will not be seen anyway. -- 15:00, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh and I forgot to mention, those redirect chains are caused by page moves. It's often a good idea to check Special:DoubleRedirects every so often, and also clean up any redirects that were pointing to the old name so they point to the new one when you move a page. You can do this by clicking the "what links here" link and telling it to only show redirects, and then checking for redirect pages in that list. -- 15:06, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's been my experience that the autocomplete (which is used by the search bar as well as when you start typing a link or template while editing a page) takes some time to update. -- 15:15, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

30,000 edits
Thanks for the congratulations. Yes, it took a lot of time, way over a 1000 hours. I'm lucky enough to have some extra spare time and I like spending most of it here. Nice images on FO1/2 location pages, by the way. You're one of the very few who upload images from the older games. Jspoel 16:45, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope you keep having fun creating and uploading them, I think you'll make Ausir and some other FO1/2 veterans here happy with it.
 * I'm afraid not. Fallout 3 was the game that made me come to this wiki (around the time New Vegas was released). Once I got here, I took notice of the older games. Still haven't played them yet, editing here is appearantly more fun for me. Hope to get to them one of these days.

Governments
Hello my friend ;)

"Post-apocalyptic governments" it's the best. Anyway, I don't think it's very necessary to create such a page. Each page of every faction have already all information about their society, structure, purpose, military system etc... May be just to list them can be classified as "government" but that's all, otherwise it will be a duplicate of existing pages.

Have a nice day and see you soon my friend =)! Itachou [~talk~] 17:07, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

NCR hospital image
I see Ghost has restored the file that you asked me to delete: File:NCR hospital.png.

Is he you who asked him? Can I delete it again? The image is not used on The Vault and since you do not seem to need it ;). Otherwise, I can also rename it if you want. Itachou [~talk~] 17:13, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

FinalWish map
Yes, I had already noted and I mention several mistakes for correction in his talk page, like as you've probably seen since you've left a message on his talk page ;), and on a blog of someone uses another version, for finally put it into Fallout world page.

Anyway, there are still some details to add:


 * Add San Francisco
 * Hoover Dam in 2281 belongs to the NCR
 * There is still a lot of cities of Fallout Tactics that are not added, also some don't belong to the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel
 * Chicago is not part of Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel - and an Enclave fortification is located there in addition
 * Add all appeared Vault and not only Vault 0, and all bunker of the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel would be nice but optional

But FinalWish is someone really attentive and saw that every time correcting every mistake that I mentioned, which is pretty nice and he has shown a true desire. Once the mistakes corrected, the map will be of course on the Fallout world page ;). Itachou [~talk~] 17:46, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Fallout 2 locations
When you press "add a new page" there is a list of options available listed by game and page type, and you choose whatever fits your criteria. For example if you choose the "Fallout 2 locations" layout the appropriate code will be generated. Hopefully this is what you mean. --User Avatar talk.png 18:26, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Quick note of thanks
Hello Guardian ;)

Haha you're welcome but it has held up to you I did almost nothing =), I just felt that you had a talent for images! Great work on this project! Ho also, take care of your health my friend (I also like to take a long time to do something, as today with the Master's Army page give a good 1 hour, although it's not good physically but hey, just one time in a while is not a sharp pain)!

Good luck my friend, nice evening and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 18:32, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Fallout 1 and 2
Now that's what I like, dedication and willingness to spend time to get some good images. I've done a lot myself too, uploaded a lot of FO3 and FNV character and location images. I have the older games by the way, just haven't made a start with them yet. Keep up the good work on those Fallout 1/2 pages, it's appreciated! Jspoel 19:06, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Agree +1 ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 19:10, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I play the game on a PC and use Fraps to create the image. But as you say, delivering quality takes a lot of time. You need a good angle (I use fly on loc images)), good light (no shadows on character images) etc. And after that some cutting and tweaking in Photoshop. For every image again. I know what you're talking about and it's always nice to be acknowledged for it once in a while. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 19:24, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well spotted, I do like making interior shots of caves a lot. I fly around a bit to see what gives the best result with light coming through and so on.
 * I suppose I have some natural talent for languages. And I'm older than the average editor here, so I have more years under my belt watching foreign TV series, movies and internetting and am using that here.

Unity
Yes you're right ;), I forgot this thing. If you want to do that, create a new page and name it "Unity (Broken Hills)". Good luck my friend, I take a look of your page if you want =). Itachou [~talk~] 22:07, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Alright

I sure ain't. Try Cartman, Kastera, GhostAvatar, Jspoelstra, deadlykris, etc. You can also find a list of admins, both past and present, under the community tab at the top of the Vault front page. BILLYOCEAN 21:13, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Capping
I'm still not sure what's best. At the moment my preference is decapping power plant when it's an unmarked location, but when it's an marked location, I still like it to be Power Plant. I use the worldmap a lot in the game and find it strange to see a map marker capped in the game, but decapped here. For most thing besides that I can go with the decap of things. But Tagaziel for example is decapping every map marker that is not a proper noun, which is also defendable. So, there's a choice for you. At least don't decap proper nouns.

Unity (Broken Hills)
Hello my friend ;)

Sorry for my late reply, I went to the hospital wednesday at 4:30pm French time for a surgery for tonsil, haha nice it was more painful for an adult ;)! And I come back in my home only today, right now in fact ;).

Your page is great, I'll just add another image instead of Marcus to give a view of the faction and fix small some stuff, but otherwise just great work, keep it up my friend you do a good job is a pleasure to have on The Vault =)! Have a nice day my friend and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 10:01, July 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ha sorry I was on other things that I have taken longer than expected. I improved a little the page but like I said, it was already an excellent works =), even if you say this is the first time you make a faction page, it doesn't look ;). For the image, I make an image with members of the Unity patrols directly in the mapper, but I think tomorrow take a real screen of the random encounter. I think for some faction, like the Dead Horses for example, to take the camp or a whole group of the faction is better than putting the leader (mostly it's not highly representative, not as Caesar).


 * Thank you for supporting me, haha ​​yes it's quite painful, with each swallow of saliva, it's like trying to swallow a whole plastic bottle with a throat that already stabbed by a rusty knife (sorry for the image, there the only thing that comes in my mind). Anyway, your mentally help is greatly appreciated, sincerely thanks =). I go sleep my friend, good night and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 01:18, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Kings
I've checked it with the GECK, the faction tab page says Kingsfaction. So that's why I made it Kings. Jspoel 21:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

DLC Rumors

 * This is straight from Bethesda on their website:
 * Key Features:
 * New Terrain

 * New Enemies
 * Confront the surgically-altered Lobotomites, bizarre robot scorpions, the dead occupants of the Y-17 Trauma Harnesses as well as the terrifying disembodied brain, Dr. Mobius. Look out for other strange and terrifying creations of the Think Tank!
 * New Perks and Weapons
 * Old World Blues increases the level cap by 5 and introduces a range of new weapons including the Sonic Emitter, K9000 Cyberdog Gun, Proton Axe, and several varieties of Mad Scientist Gloves such as the Sterilizer Glove and Corrosive Fist.
 * You’ll also find new armors such as the Sneak Suit and Mad Scientist Scrubs to make your life in the Mojave easier. Look out for implants that can switch your body parts in and out for new effects and defenses to aid you in the Big Empty and the Mojave wasteland!
 * Xa3  talk  Contributions  MysteriousStranger.png:46, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * It just showed up in the feed that you were editing those new pages about rumors in the DLC and nominating for deletion. Just thought I'd explain what the were.
 * Xa3  talk  Contributions  MysteriousStranger.png:51, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
You created 3 unnecessary categories. I moved the buildings in these 3 categories to Category:New California Republic (town). That's good enough. Otherwise they become spread to thin. Jspoel 21:54, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * At the moment I say no. You can send me a more detailed post about your plans and I will look it over. But for now just place NCR town buildings in the above mentioned category.
 * I'm an admin, Guardian and I feel that comes with an extra reponsibility. So I check regularly the Recent changes to see everything's still going well. And on a Saturday people have more time to edit so it's more work for me. And now us admins are needed in the chat as well to keep an eye on things. I've been very busy today with checking all sorts of things, posting people about it, and you've kept me busy also with those categories. Another thing I had to check first what was happening and then fix it. I spent many hours here today planning to upload sound images and I uploaded I think 5 or so. I've done little I planned to do today. I think you can understand it that can become a bit frustrating at times. Ah well, we keep the spirit up, tomorrow another day with new chances right?

Fallout walkthrough
Hello my friend ;)

In fact, Ausir is a member of the gaming wiki team, and sadly sometimes he doesn't have time to reply (this is not the case in the past but things changed).

Anyway, it's a nice idea =) - Fallout 3 walkthrough but for Fallout and Fallout 2 would be extremely good and positive for the Wiki. There are currently many project started, so if you could at least start the page (you have great skills I know), it can provide a base and get people to help you. Just start and then we can go further ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 22:10, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha wait I see something. In fact, the Fallout walkthrough was replaced by "The Nearly Ultimate Fallout Guide by Per Jorner" (also the same for Fallout 2). I personally think you can do the Fallout walkthrough page with a simple and short walkthrough, but it's just my opinion. Ask some other admins to see what we can do like Ghost, Jspoelstra, Kastera1000, Veryblackraven etc. (five should be good). Also, thanks for the Primitive Tribe page grammar correction ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 22:37, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks ;), I put three hours to write properly and check everything with Sulik dialogue file. For Fallout walkthrough, in fact "The Nearly Ultimate Fallout Guide by Per Jorner" already done that, Fallout walkthrough - Fallout 2 walkthrough. So well, what do you think? Itachou [~talk~] 22:45, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're welcome my friend! I also go sleep in a few moment, see you tomorrow my friend, good night ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 22:51, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Small favour
Hello my friend ;)

No problem, it's works Guardian =)! Itachou [~talk~] 13:21, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hehe nice three pages, the Vortis image is done =)! Itachou [~talk~] 14:03, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Haha you're welcome Guardian! I saw I forget the exterior view, it's also done. Keep up the good works my friend, see you around ;)! Itachou [~talk~] 14:10, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Start anew
Yes, we're not getting along so well, aren't we? I will be glad to give it another try and make a new start as it were. Let me say I (and I think the community) appreciates your work, it's of a nature I haven't seen in months here (lots of data and images on Fallout 2 location pages). I can't remember someone else doing that to this extent. With it being new, I need some time to adjust to that and I may have come down a bit harsh on you while dealing with it, me needing (or wanting) to check things. But I feel things have settled now and will go smoother from now on. So I'll reach my to hand to you also and hope you keep up the good work! Jspoel 22:36, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like you have had a day like I had Saturday. Not coming around to what you had planned to for yourself.

Mad Scientist Scrubs
Hello my friend ;)

The policy of the Vault is to capitalize only proper names. In-game and in the Fallout official website all items, races, creatures are capitalized like "Lobotomite", "Super Mutant", "Proton Axe", this is not to follow =). Mad Scientist Scrubs it's may be a normal item and not an unique item, so it should not be capitalized before the released of the DLC, with the confirmation of its real nature. Itachou [~talk~] 17:33, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha I know =), you are not this kind of person, I saw your message on the mad scientist scrubs talk page after you had sent me a message. It's sometimes difficult to know which policy is implemented in a wiki, you had a good reaction by asking an admin for know ;). Nice evening and see you around my friend! Itachou [~talk~] 17:44, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Response
Why thank you! Also, can you tell me how to make an image (not how to download it)? I'd appreciate that. MysteryStranger 17:36, July 11, 2011 (UTC) Why, explain both. I'm a new one, you know? MysteryStranger 17:39, July 11, 2011 (UTC) I see. Thank you. MysteryStranger 17:54, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Templates
Nope, sorry. I would ask one of the bureaucrats. --Kastera (talk) 18:00, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see you want to add something for the Fallout 1/2 Locations template. What do you add =)? Itachou [~talk~] 18:04, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Haha don't worry I don't forget you ;). I just finished my job on Old World Blues and it's ok after =). Itachou [~talk~] 19:43, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hehe thank you I ;)! If you don't mind it would be nice my friend! Itachou [~talk~] 19:58, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks it's very nice to you =)! You go sleep? I'm just finished OWB content right now, I'm ready for the template if you want ;). Itachou [~talk~] 21:51, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * All right let's go ;). In fact, template and infobox are pages like all other page in the wiki, but filled with wiki code. The page of the infobox place is: Template:Infobox location. It can be edited by anyone just like any other page.


 * After, you want to add a new field for members in the place right? So the code is:     (I just adapted the code already in place, I think you can done that easily but it's for the explanation). Add it between "merchants" and "factions" field and edit the page - it's done!


 * Porter is our Template-infobox's master, and therefore he is also the one that creates the documentation and the tutorial for template and infobox. I'll go sleep but I will add the instruction for the new field tomorrow, I will tell you how I want to know. Good night my friend and if you have a problem call me, I'll take a look tomorrow =). Itachou [~talk~] 22:14, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

No problem, I will help you willingly and we will be in better condition ;). Good night and at tomorrow! Itachou [~talk~] 22:33, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello my friend ;)


 * Hum... for sure, you want to add a field name "members" in the infobox, for exemple between "leaders" and "factions" field in the Maltese Falcon infobox (for add Kane, Maltese Falcon bartender etc.) right?

Or it's another thing? Itachou [~talk~] 20:09, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Haaaa, that why I don't undertsand your diagrams, now I see. Hehe it's out of my skills sorry, ask Porter the Template-infobox's master ;), he can easily answer I think. I go sleep right now I have to help someone for a removal tomorrow, good night and see you soon my friend =)! Itachou [~talk~] 21:10, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Walkthroughs
We do host copies of Per's excellent Fallout guide and Fallout 2 guide but yeah, individual quest pages could use some more work. Ausir(talk) 02:20, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Quest pages
What suggestion? Can't find it. The achievement track started 85 days ago after a forum topic about it if it should be introduced or not. It has pros and cons but in the end there were more yes voters than no voters so here we are. It's working fairly well, some categories better than others but we get more edits on pages than before. Jspoel 21:27, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal
Already been taken care of, but thanks anyway. Jspoel 18:54, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * In the future please remove the vulgar language from the page; in most cases it would only be necessary to leave the delete template and clear all else. When in doubt, clear it out; we can recover it if you're in error. -- 19:03, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ironically, the page itself needed to be created, so I spent a few minutes gathering the information to create it properly. It's up now at Freeside NPC dump. -- 19:35, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

User page
Hello Guardian ;)

User page of quality I think, I really like the redirected template for all your section. Well written and good format, is a very nice user page you have, may be there not enough image, haha sorry just my personal opinion, I'm more image than text =), but anyway it's nice.

Ho also my friend, I'm on holiday right now, my connection speed is reduced and also my presence, but don't worry, I will try be here to improve The Vault and talk with you. See you around!


 * No no it was right a move the last time, for my holiday I go today to arrived around 18:00 =). I'm around Auxerre in Burgundy - an England region during the Hundred Years' War I think you know ;), a very peaceful and beautiful region. And you, that's when the traditional holiday in England? Itachou [~talk~] 20:58, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Haha sorry but you were not a miniscule power, the war still during over 100 years and without Jeanne d'arc, we would wiped out I think =). Anyway yes, the strength of the England is the fact we are on an island and that's why you never lost your nation (and thank you for the WW2, without you and the Russians, I don't know what would become the world, but it would be a thousand times worse than today I think).

For Auxerre, yes it's a very beautiful place and you are right, not modern suburbs are here. It's a great city with stores and modern things but don't worry, almost all the buildings are clearly medieval times (also mostly the whole of Burgundy). I think compared Auxerre to a medieval town with the comforts of today is not a misconception ;).

For my question, in fact it was do the summer holidays of England are in the same time of France, July and August? It not in the same time in Japan so... I was wondering from a true British =)! Itachou [~talk~] 21:56, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Van Buren characters
Why are you doing these edits? I won't report you or ban you, but I'm curious about this. 94.253.170.2 18:49, July 16, 2011 (UTC) Yes, but most (if not all) pages don't have these things you are doing. Why bother doing it? All right, though I doubt they will add more info. Still, keep up the good work!

Verify
Didn't know that either, 'til a couple of months back. just put that there, and there should be a timestamp ;). Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 11:45, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure, but it bears looking into. As far as I've seen it, multiple users would have to experience the problem, and someone would have to have replicated it multiple times for consistent results. Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 11:48, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ditto ;). Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 11:57, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Van Buren pages
I've taken a look at the canon page, and saw that Van Buren is a semi-canon game. So that's probably the reason some pages have that template and some have not. So just leave it like it is now, I'd say. Jspoel 15:18, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to expand on this, all pages that are purely based on VB should have that tag (i.e. if the content is only about VB and no other game. But in the case of mixed content page (i.e. Grand Canyon) the information pertaining to VB should be wrapped within those tags, while all other information is kept separate. As you will note on the Grand Canyon page, most of the information in the background is relating to information from VB, so that is wrapped within those tags. Where as the last part that comes from FNV is kept separate. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 16:16, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Defiantly add them if you are already editing the page, otherwise I would be a bit careful on character pages as it can been seen as achievement boosting. Any other types of VB page, add them freely. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 16:34, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, it is a very perplexing situation indeed. However, I think in this instance it is warranted. So go ahead this once and if anyone has issues, just direct them towards me. But I would also ask while you are doing that, to see if there is any other quick formatting error that could be done at the same time (i.e. layout etc.), so the pages don't need to be edited again for a simple task. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 16:51, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Canceled
Is an accepted form and generally the normal American use. >>; 9mm pistol.png 21:51, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have looked into the spelling of the word canceled some time ago, because I wasn't sure. First I looked at the policy, which states the American spelling is prefered, then I looked here to see how canceled is spelled the American way. So that's why I write it with one l. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 21:59, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's allright, you probably weren't aware of the American style policy.

Davis (Van Buren)
There's no need to add a wanted image template to the Van Buren character pages, like on the Davis (Van Buren) page. We are going to have to be satisfied with the ones already in place. Jspoel 22:13, July 17, 2011 (UTC) If I understand correctly, you want to put a Vault Boy with a VB icon for the characters page that have no image in design doc? But If I remember correctly, all characters have a concept image for him/her and only that, no 3D model in-game exist for them, only concept image. So if an image is not in The Vault, it's because no one have upload it, and the image needed template is therefore sufficient, otherwise it will create an unnecessary exception on the Van Buren pages =). Itachou [~talk~] 19:19, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Allright, you can upload it and I will have a look at it. I don't promise anything though.
 * I see you've done your best to make something nice for it and I appreciate it, but I think we should leave it like it is, is to maintain conformity throughout the pages. All pages have the image needed template where the image is missing, that's good and clear enough. I'm not in favor of making it different on the Van Buren character pages. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 17:19, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem Guardian, I take care of that, and I really appreciate your efforts to try to improve the Vault, keep up the good work as always my friend ;)! Nice evening and see soon! Itachou [~talk~] 19:31, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
