User talk:Vault 815

Hi there!
Welcome to our Fallout wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * 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.


 * Questions? You can ask in the Forum or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, join the live chat in our IRC channel or post a message on my talk page!


 * Need help? The Help page has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit. See the Vault's Policy page for general guidelines and code of conduct.


 * I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Exhibit Vault
Next time when you have an image, please don't put random numbers. I deleted the one you made just to change the name, to Exhibit_Vault.jpg. Frank Horrigan 23:38, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou. Vault 815 23:58, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Peer edits
Yeah, i'll check you edits and check them off. Shadowrunner56 14:06, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Fix
I just fixed that citadel gate jpg for you. Don't forget to add for images outside of infoboxes.... Onipix Horrigan 02:13, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

FO3 Locations Project
Thanks for participating in the project, the effort is appreciated :) I've made some edits to the pages. Just a few pointers regarding what to look out for, hope you don't mind. I've marked Bailey's Crossroads off; I haven't marked BC Metro as complete because the image is too small (it's getting scaled up in the infobox which causes the grainy look). -- Porter21 (talk) 02:47, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * The "Notes" sections frequently contain stuff which should be in a different section (according to the standard layouts). Notes which aren't related to a location (but a character in that location etc) should be removed. The same is true for bugs.
 * Not all loot is notable. We only list rare loot; there's a list of what should be listed in the project's article layout.


 * Much better :) I've fixed a few smaller issues and have marked it as completed. -- Porter21 (talk) 10:07, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, pages are generally only protected under specific circumstances (see VA:AP). Overall, excluding people from editing hurts a wiki more than it helps, even if you get the occasional vandal and/or inexperienced user. Regarding the project tags, they also serve the purpose of making people aware of the project's existance and shouldn't be removed until the project as a whole is completed in my opinion. -- Porter21 (talk) 20:41, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll add an option to mbox project to mark a page as complete when I get the time. -- Porter21 (talk) 18:07, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Better Now?
Is my user page clear enough?--RadioActiveGhoul 04:18, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Better, but I think you are trying to say "I want to improve the current version of the wiki". Vault 815 04:20, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

If you look finnish wiki about Fallout you see how poor it is.--RadioActiveGhoul 04:30, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Dude, see if there is a wiki for your language, I think that is what is causing the problem. Vault 815 04:46, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

You said Vault 4 is family. That means you and I are family. What do you have to say about that?

Family
You listed Vault 4 as family. That would make me family. What is your opinion on that?--Vault4 16:53, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

LOL, but that is a reference to lost, 815 is the flight number of the plane that crashed, and 4 8 15 16 23 and 42 are all numbers that are important to the series. Vault 815 03:11, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

New editor
You can disable it via Special:Preferences ("Editing" tab -> uncheck "Enable Rich Text Editing"). -- Porter21 (talk) 11:56, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, and did you ever get around to making that Completed locations project box? It is ok if you decided not to make it.Vault 815 14:47, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Curie
Skłodowska–Curie visited Poland a last time in the spring of 1934. Only a couple of months later, Skłodowska-Curie died. Her death on 4 July 1934 at the Sancellemoz Sanatorium in Passy, in Haute-Savoie, eastern France, was from aplastic anemia, almost certainly contracted from exposure to radiation. The damaging effects of ionizing radiation were not then known, and much of her work had been carried out in a shed, without taking any safety measures. She had carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket and stored them in her desk drawer, remarking on the pretty blue-green light that the substances gave off in the dark.

News
Categories are case-sensitive, it should be "News", not "NEWS". Fixed. Ausir(talk) 17:20, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

It is still not showing up on in the news section.Vault 815 17:21, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

== Followed pages ==

Can you clarify? I'm not really sure what you're asking about. Ausir(talk) 20:00, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

The page watch list, that showed pages that had been changed recently. Vault 815 20:08, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can find the old watchlist at Special:Watchlist. Just add a link to it on your userpage if you want to access it often. Ausir(talk) 20:13, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!Vault 815 20:14, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Trailer newspost
Yours was posted 37 minutes after Insane Survivor's, actually (check the page history), so I removed yours from the news category. Ausir(talk) 06:29, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. And thank you for the very very very quick response!Vault 815 06:34, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Outpost
Yeah, I'm really not sure of when something's a proper noun around here. :/

I'll move it back. Nitty Tok. 04:48, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Done.Vault 815 05:19, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stop tampering with the page. It's NOT a proper noun. -- Kris mailbox 05:21, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I already have talked Nitty and he agrees with me.Vault 815 05:24, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you told him it wasn't and he said he didn't know if it was or not. I'm telling you you're wrong and that it shouldn't be changed. -- Kris mailbox 05:26, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

How are you so sure it is wrong? Vault 815 05:27, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless it's special in some way, an outpost is an outpost and not an Outpost - and just the fact of the Outcasts using it as their outpost doesn't make it special. Also, please direct any further replies to my talk page or the talk page for the article, not yours or Nitty's. Thanks. -- Kris mailbox 05:41, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I'll help
Hey,I just started to actually edit things on this wiki,but now that I am I'll help anybody.How do I sign up for the locations project?(Awesomeo3000 16:12, October 3, 2010 (UTC))

It is nice to see that people are still interested in the project, I will enter you into the project. Just remember to read the project guidelines and to ask me for a peer review when you are a done with a page. You can start right after you read the guidelines.Vault 815 16:15, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

I have the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide and the map that came with it.Am I allowed to use those or do I have to check by actually playing the game?(Awesomeo3000 16:54, October 3, 2010 (UTC))

Sadly, the info in the game guide is about as accurate as a man on a horse firing a cannon at a golf ball. So no, use the game guide only for dates of birth/ character background.Vault 815 16:56, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

So I save it then ask you for a peer review? And how much do I need to add/remove to a page? Sorry about all the questions this is kind of confusing me.(Awesomeo3000 17:50, October 3, 2010 (UTC))

Yep!Vault 815 19:12, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

T-Shirt
It's just arrived in the mail. Thanks a lot! Ausir(talk) 18:30, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Moded image
Nice catch. I never noticed that little 101 there. I went ahead and deleted that image since it's no longer in use. -- 01:30, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.Vault 815 03:25, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Videos
Please see our video policy. Videos for user pages and forum pages should not be uploaded to the wiki. Please use the youtube extension instead. Thanks.--Gothemasticator 21:55, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

I did not up load it i used the you tube extension.Vault 815 21:56, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Outcast outpost
No. -- 21:48, December 2, 2010 (UTC) Just a simple no? Can you give me any explanation?Vault 815 21:56, December 2, 2010 (UTC) It's not just a simple "no". Click it. -- 22:35, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not much of a explanation since the project says this "Please remember! Proper names like Fat Man, Stealing Independence, or Fort Constantine are not to be changed, nor are locations with a map marker even if that name isn't a proper name". In otherwords placenames with map markers should be Capitalized regardless, dont you just love admins that dont follow the policy's of the wiki. ☣Avatar☣ 19:57, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

So Kris, PLEASE move it back and stop being an ass.Vault 815

Cell IDs
I'm afraid I'm not an expert on that kind of stuff. Ausir(talk) 22:59, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Who should I contact?Vault 815 23:47, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Page move (Outcast Outpost)
The special rule for places with map markers no longer applies; page names should now follow the general policy for capitalization (i.e. only do it if it's a proper noun). This was the result of a forum discussion a while back - unfortunately I haven't been able to dig it up, otherwise I'd provide you with a link. -- Porter21 (talk) 13:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
