Caps
Intresting since here The Vault:Anti-capitalization project it states for proper names in paragraph 2, that they should remain in Caps. If this has changed could you please point me in the right direction with a link.GhostAvatar 03:24, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well that's just complete rubbish, all names regardless if that name is descriptive of the item or not e.g. the Round Table in Camelot are proper nouns. In English all proper nouns should be capitalised.GhostAvatar 03:24, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well this has to be the weirdest wiki I have ever been on, following a mixture of rules that makes no sense. Almost seems like they are trolling against the whole community and making up mixed rules that goes against everything.GhostAvatar 03:39, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

My starting value was based off my Endurance as opposed to Strength. Furthermore, -1 END from H2O deprivation lowers my Unarmed and Survival by 2.

Strength modifies bonus damage dealt by Unarmed attacks, but the skill is modified by Endurance.

fallout new vegas gameplay help
im trying to find someone to message about getting a forum section for this running, it would make it easier to find people who need help and since there is a gameplay help forum for fallout 3 it seems only a matter of time till this forum section is made. ithinkimaddicted 17:11, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Blank Pages
I'm a newbie, but I hate trolls... and someone made it up and put "Blarf" on there, I delete that word and didn't know I have to put delete on there.

Why?
Why did you delete the real world gun names? Its not its incorrect info, so why?Bearded Hoplite 19:52, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Why don't we mention it? How wouldn't be good to know? Bearded Hoplite 19:54, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

questions
how do you add a new wikia pages? I checked the help area but it have the old version of wikia, so I'm not sure where "create new page" are. Perhaps you can help me.

Ah, much better, thanks for the help.

there is a repeat of Legendary Night Stalker, and was made by an anonymous person, and has nothing on it, could you delete it plz? --Drldrl 04:54, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

thanks, I appreciate it.

Recon armor
Huh? -- 03:09, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, was just trying to make melee weapons into the Bladed, blunt, and thrown catagories.

Didn't see that the New Vegas Tri-beam Laser Rifle was a seperate page from the Broken Steel version.

Weapon Handling
oh sorry, i saw some weapons have that... I'll put any i see back to their correct way

D'oh.

Camp guardian - general area
Some anon created the Camp guardian caves as an actual place. It does not have a marker and there is actual markers for Camp guardian and Guardian peak which are next to each other. Another "Camp Guardian..." might be confusing so i think that moving the cave as a sub-section of Guardian Peak would be helpful. I'm still editing the peak page but after a basic outline of the location ill try to move some stuff from the caves to the peak. The cave page is extremely convoluted anyways and i doubt youll be sad while pressing the delete button on it. --FLaSHBaCK HaSH 01:34, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Latin of Festus-
What behind the scenes stuff really is very relevant? At least his concerns the origin of his name, if not hat the devs intended to mean. The BtS section really is just trivia, anyway. Nathan Hale 02:25, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Are you calling Latin mindless?!? JUPITER WILL SMITE YOU!!!! In all seriousness,though, I do see your point, it's just that I study Latin, and I get a bit fired up when I see it used in day-to-day life, and I do think that it is mentionable, as it could be a developer's choice to name him as such for the irony of making a bottle-cap-collecting robot in a post-apocalyptic wasteland to be called "joyful". Anyway, if you still reject it, you may want to remove the same thing that I previously put up on the ghoul Festus' page. Nathan Hale 09:59, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

I hate to even bring it up
I am about to speak of the dreaded inevitable, the New Vegas Locations Project. I remember the FO3 local project being created several months after the game came out and it was (and is still) a long and difficult road laced with quicksand and angry animals (i have no idea were that metaphor was going). Anyhow, perhaps, just perhaps, we added one them flashy little text boxes urging the folks to make location pages around the desired layout. Having it now might inspire noobs to actually do something positive or it may cause them to do nothing but at least they didnt create half a dozen pages that would have to be deleted anyways. Projects are obnoxious and slow-going, and some aspects are not possible to complete by us console folks since we can use the geck for cell and ref ids or take pretty pictures. Now by me saying this im not suggesting i should lead the project, i wouldnt mind helping in moderating the project, but i am too obsessed with actually playing the game to devote serious time to location pages as of now. So i guess what i'm saying is should we go ahead and jump the gun with a New Vegas location project. I can start the enormous table of locations that show the completed parts but i need to know where and what to name the page. --FLaSHBaCK HaSH 03:18, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

House
I was thinking, and I wanted to know what your opinion would be on this but do you think that House is sort of like the Master? I mean that in ways such as House has control over a wide amount of securitons just like the Master had control over the majority of super mutants. Do you think that this would be Obsidian's idea to try and bring back the memories of Fallout and try and duplicate the Master but in a different fashion? TrailerParkApe MkII 22:40, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

This game doesn't seem to be much more than Obsidian/Black Isle's attempt to relive/resuscitate their old fallout games, but I hear ya, I still don't know what to do to the old git. Aryeonos What!? 09:25, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

pictures and reuploading
A lot of the map marker pictures are of the whole pip-boy and b/c of the image restraints, they are shrunk to an unclear/unreadable size. I've been using a image software to scale the pictures down and cutout unnecessary parts without losing too much resolution. However when i upload the edited picture, it still shows the old picture but in the 504 X 300 size that ive been downsizing to. This makes the image even more unreadable, so ive been naughty and uploading the new image by itself and probably wasting space. Any ideas? --FLaSHBaCK HaSH 04:54, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

New Vegas gets new pages?
Dunno why I'm coming to you, maybe because you're the only person I can remember getting along with here, anyway. Just wanted to know why New Vegas was getting its own new page for everything? I remember a while back Ausir and a few other feisty zealots getting pissed at me for asking Fallout 3 articles to be separate from the FO1 and FO2 pages, of somewhat relevant similarity. But now it seems a bit hypocritical, or The Vault changed up its policy. Could ya' tell me what's up?

What I'm saying is, why are there now two gatling laser pages, or two or three flamer pages, or whatever; for Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3. Why isn't Fallout New Vegas' sentry bot merged with Fallout 3's sentry bot? They merged Flamer together, even though the Fallout 1/2 flamer is completely different from the fallout 3 one. So why is Fallout: New Vegas getting new pages? Aryeonos What!? 23:08, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

River
Why you delete the river page? Tezzla Cannon 17:07, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

It does have something to do with Fallout. It's the location of the Yangtze Campaign. Tezzla Cannon 17:11, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yes there is something different about it. It was a battle location in Fallout. Tezzla Cannon 17:16, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Video
Im not spamming that everywhere, first i thought it would be better for cazadores, but it is the location for a free combat armor so that place is better. I saw that you deleted the video at cazadors so i didn't need to do it. Whats wrong with it?

Its about killing cazadores, notable loot at Brewers Beer Bootlegging and how to obtain a free Combat Armor Mark 2 worth of 5500 caps (new bought at Gun Runners) I can also place it at Brewers Beer Bootlegging location details or something.. 22:45, November 01, 2010 (UTC)

The correct reference can be found on the quest page and now on the cultural ref page as well.
 * "The Wang Dang Taffy-Apple Tango" is a pop song written by J. Leslie McFarland and Aaron Schroeder. Pat Boone recorded and released the song in 1959.

hey, what's up with reverting my edit on the lonesome drifter page? Tifer 17:02, November 2, 2010 (UTC)Tifer

I only noticed the small "New Messages" box at the bottom of the page.

I am using this because it shows the weapon in action with the scope, shows how it looks when you reload it and also shows comparison between the unmodded weapon and the modded weapon.

I'm making these videos out of my own time for this Wiki, and its a nice addition, some footage of the weapon.

Also, it is in the Video section, Its not causing problems there, is it?

Any questions, just reply to me. ParaHaXz 17:06, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Reply
I completely understand you, but I see many people are not satisfied with just a picture, they want to see it shooting and in action.

Thats why I am making these videos, it was to give all the weapon modifications a video of it in action (Shooting, reloading, etc.)

Hopefully you can see why I am making these videos, hopefully I should be done in a month or two :D

Continued: So can I continue on posting my videos on the corrosponding weapon pages please? I understand you might not have any administrative privilages, but I am asking for your go-ahead because you are a well respected memeber of this community.

Thanks, I just need a No or Yes, and a reason why.

Thanks
I will do so after doing this project, as it will improve my video editing skills and such.

Anyway, thanks for the responce.

Love and Hate
I agree with you, it's getting tiring constantly changing that article. Even when it's clearly stated that the reference is not from that film people still seem to think it's in reference to some B-rated film of the past. Mictlantecuhtli 00:16, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

-Hey, sorry about that. That's my fault. Question: What do you mean "it's clearly stated" that the reference isn't to the movie? Does Obsidian list the in-game references somewhere? Not trying to be a smartass or anything. I really don't care. Just curious if there actually is an official list out there. OctopusNebula 00:40, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Love and Hate. Oops.
Hey, sorry if I hit a nerve or something with my contribution to "Love and Have". I had no idea that page was a warzone. I totally didn't mean to offend. However, for what it's worth, I can almost guarantee the reference is to the book/movie The Night of the Hunter. Regardless of where the tattoo originated.

Anyway. Sorry to incur your terrible wrath. Also you have a beautiful speaking voice. OctopusNebula 00:23, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * That movie is too obscure to be the source, all film/television instances of Love-Hate across the knuckles spawned from prison culture not hollywood (which only borrowed it for grit purposes). Mictlantecuhtli 00:35, November 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I actually thought that movie was famous until about 3 seconds ago when I ran a search on Wikipedia. Apparently critics and audiences hated it initially! Only after the fanbase had time to snowball did it have any cultural relevance. I had no idea. Hey, thanks for atleast being civil. Your initial post had me assuming you were pissed. Also, ignore my response to your post. I had no idea you'd respond directly.OctopusNebula 00:46, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Night Stalker vs Nightstalker
Why did you move this page? According to the screenshots on the page, it's two words, not one. Sheltim 16:30, November 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * See NightStalker. The first two screenshots have the HUD in them and you can see "Night Stalker" as the target. Note that I haven't yet encountered them in the game, so I can't speak from personal experience. On another note, if you don't move NightStalker back to the way it was, you'll want to make sure Legendary night stalker and Young night stalker are kept up to date. Sheltim 21:06, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I checked the game files using FNVEdit. Every instance of the creature listed was called "Night Stalker" so I moved the page to Night stalker. -- 21:12, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that; I didn't look below Nightkin in the list. There ARE some that are called "NightStalker" in the game. It's probably best to leave the page where I moved it to, and then note the two different names in the article. I'll do that now. -- 21:14, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Theme Designer
Looks like one of the admins changed all the site's colors using the Theme Designer again. Do NOT do that.

Hi. Reverting an edit without comment and flagging what you've done as a minor change does little to help others learn from their mistakes. Case in point. So, what did I do wrong?

Monorail Bomb Glitch
For some odd reason, when I disarmed the bomb at the last part of the Camp McCarran mission I Put a Spell on You (Fallout: New Vegas) the speech option to tell Colonel Hsu the bomb was disarmed was gone, and when I went back to the monorail, it continued to leave and detonate. Is this a glitch or what, and if so, should it be posted (if not already) on the bugs section?

Nuke-This-Cola 01:56, November 17, 2010 (UTC) (CORRECTION) Uph, I just read the article, so much for that brilliant idea.

a little bit of random help
It seems that I've been hit early by Holiday kindness and after a couple of playthroughs on Fable III and a trip to their wikia, I noticed how delapidated it is. It does have pretty colors and some organization, but i have to say, the Vault is as good as an NFL team coached by Jesus while the Fable wikia is like the Vikings coached by Childress (a bad metaphor i know). I was thinking about trying to usher in an era of organization and bliss, and was planning on using some of the basic templates that are used on the vault. First, is it okay if i use some of them. Second, should i just copy the template from the Vault, fill it in with Fable info, and make a new template page on the Fable Wikia? I'm a little bit overwhelmed because the Fable templates are such shite and being guarded by a 3 man team of admins that seem bogged down with just keeping things going. Any suggestions would be awesome. --FLaSHBaCK HaSH 04:38, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

My Missions
I see. Well, as I've been replaying through Tactics again I've been rewriting or editing parts of some of the walkthroughs mission by mission as they're still fresh in my mind. So for future missions should I create a mission page for the future walkthroughs and remove/copy over the ones from places or should I just edit the places for now and let you get around to it? --Pongsifu 02:52, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll just edit/add walkthroughs to the place pages and leave creating mission pages alone, then. --Pongsifu 02:57, November 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hehe you're still only in the 3rd mission since we talked about Fallout Tactics there a few months my friend ^^ ? Otherwise, I'm for the separation Mission - City, missions are a bit like quests then, but both may well be good too. Itachou [~talk~] 03:06, November 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I didn't think I'd start separating them, but when I was writing the Junction City walkthrough, the format wasn't working all that great in the "places" page. So I've begun moving over walkthroughs, starting from where you left off (except for Junction City, which I skipped ahead to). Been working on Tactics' miscellaneous items section as well, since it seems to be a fairly neglected page. Kind of like working on a game that doesn't have 1,000 edits going on every hour :P --Pongsifu 08:17, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

I am new to all these Wiki's but I try to do the best I can by reading the guidlines on what is acceptable and the proper format for doing edits etc. Why are you reversing informational updates I am editing to help others have a more enjoyable play experience of the game without having to go thru the same hassels I have experienced. Ccarman69Christopher Carman 02:21, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

_____ Well looking at your edits, you've been putting things like **NOTE*** and (***Updated Note***) in front of what you add, which is not needed at all and will be removed. Then there are things like this:

" I had the same problem but after many trials and errors I found out that the game froze only when I tried to purchase the "Queen of Spades", others I was able to purchase with no problem.)"

Tactics Mission Pages
Ok, I finished separating all the Tactics location pages and mission pages. Some of the walkthroughs still need to be formatted though, it would probably be easier to just rewrite some of them.

I completely rewrote the walkthroughs for Jefferson, Osceolla, Junction City, Great Bend, Cold Water, Newton, Canyon City, Buena Vista, Scott City and all but the intro section for Peoria, formatting them as best I could.

I somewhat formatted Kansas City, Macomb, Cheyenne Mountain, and Vault 0 without rewritting.

So basically, the pages that still really need work for whenever you get back around to working on tactics are St. Louis, Quincy, Mardin, Springfield, and probably eventually Macomb and Calculator's Lair

Gauss Pistol
I am curious about your decision to completely rewrite the article on the Gauss Pistol. It can in fact do "three aimed shots", if you take the Better Rate of Fire perk and don't take Fast Shot. I am not sure why you, and the previous author, feel the need to spell out a character progression in a weapons article. Is it not conceivable to you that someone might want to use the weapon in a different fashion than the one you spell out? 2.2 Dog 02:56, November 28, 2010

FOT SMG/assault rifle dispute
The AC556F and AUG should be listed under assault rifles / rifles. Even the very first paragraph of text on both SMG and assault rifle pages contradicts having them classified as SMGs. (They use intermediate round!)

They only use the generic SMG sprite, because it's closer to their look than the generic rifle sprite. Other than that, the game doesn't classify them as "SMG" in any way as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. -91.153.29.158 17:58, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I tried to interpret the only relevant policy VA:C on my edits: Both weapons share their real-world counterpart names, thus they should be also classified like the real ones. Also, the first paragraphs on SMG and assault rifle articles are also based on current post-WW2 real world. -91.153.29.158 18:18, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh???? I wasnt talking about a M-950, I was talking about the Steyr and Ruger AC556F that where removed by anon from the SMG overview page. ☣Avatar☣ 18:22, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I aint using real life either, the ingame quote says for one of them The Ruger AC556F is a development of the Ruger Mini 14, a 5.56 mm assault rifle originally used only by police forces, but also popular on the open market. A large magazine and full auto fire makes this weapon a real crowd pleaser. And considering that both use the 5.56mm NATO rifle round, cant come under SMG in any way. ☣Avatar☣ 18:30, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly you will notice the, right after a development part. That comma separates the description from the development description. And I aint basing it on looks in anyway, I am basing it on the fact that it uses rifle rounds and not pistol rounds and that it has full auto fire. And a bullpup design is no different than a carbine design, all they are is design variants of the standard layout. But either way by definition neither of them use pistol rounds and therefore can not be classed as a SMG. ☣Avatar☣ 18:42, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * No you argument is invalid 12.7mm round - The Hauer Premium 12.7mm civic defense round is a consumer-grade pistol round of identical diameter to the military-grade .50 caliber, but less powerful. Just cus the diameter is the same does not make them the same, hence why they have different names and are not even interchangeable in the weapons that use them, unlike the weapons that use the .357 magnum round that can also use the .38 round or weapons that use the 5.56mm round that can also use the .223 caliber round. ☣Avatar☣ 18:52, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously you have lost the plot, there is nothing in the Fallout Universe that points to either of them being SMG's, nothing at all, you are grasping at straws. Everything in game points to them being Assault rifle. ☣Avatar☣ 19:09, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly thats game animation, which is down to the game mechanics and coding. That is the back end of the game and not part of the fallout Universe. If you where going to take it that far then you could easily say that clipping (along with many other animations in the various other games that are obviously not meant to be) is part of the Fallout Universe and not actually a coding oversight, which the animation for these guns could very well be just a coding oversight. Secondly if you are going to take the animations as the defining definitions, then you need to throw out the whole description for SMG and Assault rifles as they do not fit within the Fallout Universe by that very definition. ☣Avatar☣ 20:54, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, there are many 12.7mm / 0.50 inch pistol rounds such as .500 S&W Magnum and .50 Action Express. The 12.7mm SMG in New Vegas is probably based on Kriss Super V, but that's irrelevant. Ruger AC556F and Steyr AUG are assault rifles in real world and in FOT. -91.153.29.158 21:23, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, let me put it this way for you, you are basing there type purely on the game animation. lets extend the same principle to another weapon, namely the Euclid's C-Finder, its reload animation has you reloading it with Alien Power Cells. So under your logic the Euclid's C-Finder uses Alien Power Cells and not ARCHII Charges as stated in the game. There are many other inconstant game animations this logic can also be applied to that would contradict many of the things in the Fallout Universe. Secondly you are also contradicting yourself from the previous statement "I wouldn't call it an assault rifle based on looks alone", basing it on the animation is basing it on the looks. Where as I am basing it on all things considered, the states, the use of ammo, the description etc. Simply put the game animation is most likely a coding oversight and could very be considered a bug of the game.


 * But lets look at the repercussions of making them SMG's, firstly it goes against the very definitions of SMG's and also Assault Rifles posted in this wiki. Therefore these definitions do not fall inline with the Fallout Universe and should be removed. Then you would also need to do the same for all other inconsistent game animation across all Fallout games. ☣Avatar☣ 21:44, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

If they not supposed to make sense to you within there own world, what on earth are you doing on the games Wiki. Besides if I wanted to make sense of it all I would be pulling out references to the real world, instead of you pulling assumptions out of nothing. If your going to be like that why not just make up a load of things about the game based on the smallest assumption. They are Assault rifles, the end of it ☣Avatar☣ 00:07, December 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I support GhostAvatar here. I don't think the type of animation used actually determines what is an SMG and what isn't. Ausir(talk) 00:10, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * As GhostAvatar said, given that these guns have clear real-world counterparts, them using SMG animations could be considered a bug or oversight. SMGs and assault rifles have actual definitions independent from their in-game use. Revolvers use the same animations as regular pistols too. If we always used the in-game logic then we wouldn't consider Marcus a character in FNV but a creature, and Mr. House would be categorized under "world objects". Ausir(talk) 00:37, December 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * We usually ignore real-world equivalents when they are not clearly stated and are usually vague, but in the case of both the Ruger and the Steyr, they are clearly stated in-game. Like a lot of the new weapons in Tactics, they are not fictional weapons loosely based on real-world ones, but they are actual real-world weapons. And in case of Ruger, the term "assault rifle" is even used in the very in-game description. Ausir(talk) 00:54, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Unmentioned loot In the Yao guai tunnels.
Sorry to bother you with this, but i thought it might be important for some readers to know that there is actually a bit more impressive loot in the tunnels. The first one is rather obvious, at the part where the yao guai runs in front of you left to right, if you go right there is a large stash of ammo on the shelves. Also, a lot more difficult to find, at the point close to the beginning, where you find the pre-war book, and the picnic table, to the right of the picnic table there is a large wall of sandbags, if you climb over the table there is another small room, i found a sniper rifle and 14 308 rounds there, as well as 20 cps on the dead wastelander.

- Just thought you might want to add it.

AER9 Laser Rifle question
Hey Nitty I know you don't know me, but you seemed to be the right person to go to. I was just wondering, has anyone ever considered that AER9 might stand for Assault Energy Rifle #9 or is this theory just too non-canon to take into account? kay thanx bye ^_^

Cass and the Shotgun Surgeon perk
I'm looking at the use count of the Shotgun Surgeon perk as well as Cass' NPC data; neither mentions the other, nor does her script reference the perk. In fact, NOTHING references the perk at all, meaning it's only accessible through the player perk menu. Regardless of what Sawyer said, it looks like that change didn't get implemented. -- Yukichigai 23:29, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I tracked it down. It's actually the "Companion Suite" perk that does it; it sets up an effect IDENTICAL to the Shotgun Surgeon perk, without actually granting that perk.  Very weird. -- Yukichigai 23:34, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Reverted Edits on ODYSSEUS
I suggest that you actually play Dead Money before removing my well-constructed paragraph about the name Odysseus being changed to Ulysses. I'm not going to tell you what Christine says because (a) the relevant portions were in the paragraph and (b) YOU removed MY edit, so you should be more knowledgeable. It is not my responsibility to provide knowledge to you and anyone else if you go around butchering beforehand.

Long story short, Ulysses is the name of a cut companion who, coincidentally, comes from Tibbets, and according to Christine ultimately does battle with the Courier at the Grand Canyon.

--ObviouslyJesus 15:08, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Tibbets and Christine
Sorry for being so grouchy earlier, I had just woken up. Anyhow, Christine is a mute at first, but right before you descend into the Vault in Dead Money, you have the opportunity to speak with her.

Anyhow, she says she was rescued from the Big Empty (which I assume is Tibbets, as that page redirects there) by another courier who wore the flag of the Old World on his back. Once the editors here had finished Dead Money, they wrote that this other courier was named Ulysses. His page states that he was a rancher at the Wolfhorn Ranch, but was then cut from New Vegas (he was supposed to be a companion).

The fact that his name is Ulysses and that he has something to do with Tibbets is evidence that the idea of having a character named Ulysses related to the prison has evolved from VB to NV. Same thing happened with Graham.

Also, Christine says that she and Elijah were at the Big Empty, Elijah in pursuit of technology. In case you don't know Elijah's story, he's essentially a tech-crazed BoS leader who disappeared after losing territory to the NCR. He went to the Big Empty in search of tech (maybe the computer ODYSSEUS, if that piece of VB canon holds). He took captives, including Christine, and Ulysses helped her escape. According to her, he "sympathized" with her. Ulysses, as it stands, seems to be a corollary to the Courier (Christine says he is a courier now, despite his past at Wolfhorn Ranch) - in the closing slideshow for Dead Money, Christine says she did not hear the Courier's name again until he fought with the other courier (Ulysses) at the Divide, "under the old world flag", which I assume is a reference to the flag on Ulysses' back, or that the fight was on Ulysses' turf.

The final slide says "each Courier was bearing a message for the other".

Long story short: man named Ulysses frees Christine from Elijah at the Big Empty. The fact that in both NV and VB there is a character associated with the place with that name is likely not coincidental. The new Ulysses, according to canon in NV, is another courier who ultimately does battle with the player character at the Grand Canyon. My page edit was intended to reflect that. --ObviouslyJesus 04:01, December 23, 2010 (UTC) 04:01, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Special Request for Maintenance Help
Porter has pointed out that Category:Nominated for deletion has a backlog of about 2,000 image files. Please give this category some attention. I am asking you and about 20 other editors who have shown a willingness to contribute regularly to The Vault to aim for reviewing and taking appropriate action on 100 of the images marked for deletion. If we all do our part, things will be manageable again by the end of the holidays. Thanks for your help!
 * If an image has been superceded by a better image, delete it.
 * If an image is unused or unlinked to by any page, delete it unless it is unique and worth having. Perhaps we will use it sometime. If you can think of a use, please add it to that page.
 * If an image should not be deleted, remove the delete tag.

I was just pissed cuz they took the stealth field out of it. Stealth boys are so uncommon now too. The Dumpster behind KFC 01:43, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

That would have been perfect. Considering all the nightkin related stuff and the emphasis they put on making your own stuff, (reloading tables, workbench, and campfires) you would think they would have included it. The Dumpster behind KFC 02:17, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

Barrel hater.

A large metal barrel that was used by people to protect and contain large quantities of liquids, usually oil, radioactive waste, or water. Barrels are hollow and cylindrical in shape with a diameter of about 2 feet 4 inches and a height of 5 feet. There are four variants, one with a fire, another with a fire and a grill (often with some form of foodstuff cooking above said grill), another which is empty, and another (a little more rare) one that is an intact barrel. Other than the fire or grill, the barrels are identical in look. Barrels may often signal radiated areas as they may have carried nuclear waste. Empty barrels may be lifted using grab, while the other variants may not. When dropped they make the sound of an elephant going through an air ventilation system. Barrels may be used as a shield from gunfire if lifted while crouched or as a step to get to hard-to-reach places.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that, otherwise I would just have kept assuming it was a glitch.

Leavenworth
Leavenworth was the original name of the Tibbets prison before it was merged with Big Empty, back when they were totally separate locations. It should redirect to Tibbets, not to Big Empty, unless it ends up being called Leavenworth in FNV DLC. Ausir(talk) 00:33, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

FUCK YOU! i just tried to make a controbution to the wiki and you remove it on me! Thanks A lot!

That fancy template wizardry you used on the spacesuit page...
Lol at the above, anyways. The issue is that the template automatically creates the links to the ammo type, because the way the template does this, you cant rename the link with the normal "pipped" | separator. The only 2 solutions I can come up with, is to remove the auto linking feature in the template, but that will mean going through every weapons page and link the ammo in the templates. The other solution I can think of, but am not sure it would work, is to create a second parameter that renames the link, then add in a if statement that uses that if it exists, otherwises uses the ammo type as the link name instead. Anything about this is probably best addressed to Porter, he might be able to change the template to auto link and still be able to rename with the simple pipe switch. ☣Avatar☣ 01:17, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes my second idea does work, I have added a new parameter to the template for FNV weapons named ammoname, adding this will override the name displayed for a link with what ever you want. This will now allow you to link out to FNV pages and prevent the ugly namespace from being displayed. I have already implemented it in Varmint rifle if you want to see it in action. ☣Avatar☣ 01:34, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a FYI, I have also addressed this to Porter, just in case there is anything wrong or he needs to make changes to it. ☣Avatar☣ 01:50, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm simply going to remove the automatic linking - it's more trouble than it's worth in my opinion, and having to add link brackets seems more intuitive than having to use a separate parameter to specify the ammo name.
 * I'm going to modify all weapon templates accordingly and add the link brackets to all affected articles via bot. Just FYI :) -- Porter21 (talk) 11:07, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Changed my mind - I've kept the automatic linking but made the template automatically remove disambig suffixes from the displayed text. -- Porter21 (talk) 12:09, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

That's all you had to do.
Had you said that my edit was TMI and the post was unneeded, therefore please remove it. It would have been gone by my hand. Even if you did really feel the need to remove it yourself and not take the time to let me know why, a note a little while later would have helped me understand why.

The reason for my addition was that I felt there was another option than what was listed. Instead of the Player, or companions, killing everyone have the Turrets do the work. But, I will accept that I was wrong for that presumption. Bartlmay 01:24, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sentry bot
Pretty sure, I can only find one reference that has only one use in a LVL creature template, and that has no uses. The big problem I have is the sentry bots that are named "Enclave Sentry Bots", they use the stadard grey template. While there are variants of "Sentry Bots" as named in the game, that use the enclave template, go figure. ☣Avatar☣ 17:21, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I figured that, cus the black variant didn't show up in the files till the BS.esm, surprised they just didn't updated the textures for the Enclave models or call the new ones Enclave as well. What they did doesn't really make sense to me. But anyways, even in the Point Lookout.esm none of them used the military colors. ☣Avatar☣ 17:31, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Naaa, I actually went in game and found them at Turtledove, got the base id and now checking the files to see how I missed it. ☣Avatar☣ 17:59, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hei Gui Armor Revert Explanation
No issue of what words mean (which is completely verifiable, in case you weren't aware) was ever made apparent to me to be open or closed. From checking your past talk history, it has come to my attention this article and the meaning of the name of the item was apparently a past issue, one you are seemingly very sensitive about.

The additional information I added to the article was meant to be informative, and add depth to the article. I was never aware that similar content had been added, removed, or debated at any point previously.

The talk post you made on my page was rude and offensive. It made no clear point what issue there was, that said issue had come to a final decision by someone with the AUTHORITY to do so, or what that determination might be. This is my first interaction with you here, I have often admired how much you contribute, but I must make this clear: this is the only warning I will make about hostile messages, deleting my contributions without explanation, and bashing people who are trying to help widen The Vault's content, myself or others. Even as a new member I will be pursuing official mediation and action if I am a party to it again.

It is obviously frustrating when one issue is continually a point of argument, to the point no mention of it either way can be tolerated. I had no idea such an issue previously existed with this article, and your failure to articulate that there was such an issue renders it moot in this case. A stranger, no matter how established and value, leaving a message saying little more than 'issue closed' is not a sufficient explanation for the deletion of carefully written content, and is disrespectful to its author. Everything I added to that article was fact-checked as far as the sources I have currently available to me. The erasure of information that is verifiable by reputable sources is nothing short of undue censorship- whether or not 'certain people' choose to 'disagree.' If you would care to make me aware of what 'issue' this article and the information in question has been in the past; I'd be glad to understand your frustration. I will not engage in edit-warring; however I still believe my addition was warranted, true, and should be a part of the article, pending an official decision and the resolution of this discussion.

If you feel the need to erase any more of my contributions, do everyone a favor and handle the notification message with a bit of tact. Broadsiding new members is not the way, whether you are having a bad day or not.

-Pu239AndYou 05:42, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Issue Acknowledged
I am aware that there has been an issue; your vague message alluded to such.

Since this has been an active issue, I apologize for the trouble of having to remove the addition once again. Also, now being aware you are an administrator- and as such are capable of official decisions, I apologize for questioning such.

'Gui' and specifically 'hei gui' being an ethnic slur is not speculation; it is fact. Hence the issue is relevance, not actuality. It is, however, borderline irrelevant, and could be construed as offensive. Hence that much, it is clear, might be something The Vault and it's keepers(being yourself) would decide should NOT be a part of the article. I'm not sure it need be, game companies refuse to answer anything unless the answer they can give would further their profits.

What I do take issue with is that hei gui literally means 'black ghost,' and absolutely no mention of such is made in the article. I am no authority on what exactly can be included in an article, but a black suit of armor that makes the wearer invisible being named 'black ghost' seems to me to be far above speculation. At least what the words mean is not a question of canon- they only mean one thing; the developers chose that name.

I can understand locking the article since a recurring issue is at hand- but I would have appreciated the chance to restore an edited version of my addition WITHOUT the racial slur information. I shouldn't think what the literal translation is, that is an apt and appropriate name for the armor, should be absent from the article - or was that a part of the debate as well? It is my opinion the article is missing an important component without the translation of 'black ghost' present. If the banned content is only the ancillary note of the derogatory expression, can the article at least bear the translated literal meaning, that was clearly intended by the developers? -Pu239AndYou 06:11, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Pain in Degrees
I dunno. I've seen animals fight when both of them were pretty clueless as to why. I guess while you were slamming the door on this repeat problem, I unknowingly slipped my fingers in the crack. As I said, I perused this place long before I joined it, and anytime I saw a difficult decision handled well, or obscure information posted, it always seemed to be the work of the aptly named Nitpicker of the Wastes. I'm sorry this had to be our first interaction, bitter and prolonged as it was. Chinese it is then, and Chinese it stays. Fair enough, you won't hear anymore about it from me. A bow to you for being *flame*-proof. -Pu239AndYou 17:30, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Respect to you as well. I often assume people need to be intelligent enough to use a computer to get online, as that was the order I learned things. Unfortunately, it's not so. It's taken some effort to find the places on the internet where careful thought is valued. Glad to see The Vault is one of them, thanks to people such as yourself. Look forward to seeing you out in the 'literary wastes.' Pu239AndYou 16:54, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

What is all this?
Actually Ghouly added a new parameter for some stuff he was doing on Fallout 2 I believe, I went and tried to smooth it out and Porter then rolled back all my edits, so it aint my fault. I did go back the next day to do some more work and saw it had been rolled back after I edited it, so I undid my edit and have left it well alone since. But if you let me know where it is showing that coding I will look at it (it might just need a page purge, doubt it, but maybe), as for me it shows as find on the item pages I have visited. ☣Avatar☣ 03:41, February 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * EDIT: its actually the DLC ID and ID templates that are messed up, which aint been edited for some time. So I would guess a Wikia update has messed it up or Porter is playing with something that has affected it ☣Avatar☣ 03:51, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Nuka
Actually the topic was more about the hyphen or lack of in Nuka grenade, when in-game it is Nuka-Grenade with a hyphen, so it was about moving it to Nuka-grenade (taking into account the stupid caps rules around here). But now you mention it, the second word in a hyphen should be capped as well, if it is as important as the first word. ☣Avatar☣ 05:15, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Video adding spamer
User NewVegas101 has been adding low quality videos with waltkthrougs to many pages, often adding them to wrong categories. Many editors here have asked him not to do so, yet he is persistant, even though his videos get removed from pages soon afterwards. Can you please check it out - he is not a spamer in a right word, but what he does is certainly unnecesarry...and annoying... Thamk you. --Atomkilla 17:06, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Advanced power armor (Undo)
Hello! Could you give me a hint on why you reverted my edit? No offense, I'm just curious, because I deem this information "useful", as the Enclave *should* not attack you with equipped advanced power armor from a logical point of view. Anyway, where should this info belong according to you? --   ryzawy    (talk)   23:03, February 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, because you can actually join the Enclave (given you don't go in guns blazing) at Navarro (Also the ONLY place where you can get the armor). If you do so, *every* Enclave member at the base regards you as one of them without further ado. Heck, you can freely run around the base, ransack through most rooms/containers and even bother everyone about the vertibird plans you intend to steal, they don't care or scrutinize.


 * So naturally I tend to assume that the Enclave patrols would realize that there's a new one in town (they actually report back to base sometimes, when you encounter them), especially when they come upon someone in a Enclave power armor that has "the Enclave insignia prominently displayed on the breastplate".


 * On my first playthrough I was kind of shocked when the patrols shot me down, because the game so strongly implies that you are a part of the Enclave.


 * Not to mention the Children of the Cathedral robes from FO1, which act as a complete disguise for the player and deceive nearly all of its members. --   ryzawy    (talk)   03:22, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you say so.. Do I have to fear that every information you deem not notable gets reverted? Because I find this information notable, hence the addition. At least you could have talked about this to me, like other members (even Ausir does this) who think something from someone is wrong/not notable. --   ryzawy    (talk)   11:03, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well yeah, thing is, you can even freely roam the whole god damn Enclave oil rig with advanced power armor. NOBODY cares, because you LOOK like of THEM. It just makes no sense that the Enclave patrols shoot you on sight when you're wearing the advanced power armor. At all. But to you, I guess. --   ryzawy    (talk)   21:22, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Deletions
Hey Nitty, thanks for deleting those unused images I marked for deletion.

Edit Warring- Radscorpion main article
I recently streamlined the Radscorpion article as it had been edited so much there was no flow whatsoever, and the minor grammar had gone all the heck.

The article previously included the idea radscorpions were descended from pre-war pet store stocks of Emperor scorpions. I have no idea where this came from, but unable to chase it down, I left it. I included they could be from that OR native populations in my streamline edit.

User:GhostAvatar re-edited that portion to claim all radscorpions are descended from 'North American' (that is, NATIVE) Emperor scorpions, based off Fallout character Razlo's dialog theorizing that they seem to be such.

However, after talking to GhostAvatar and reviewing his change, I re-edited it to omit both native OR 'North American Emperor' theories as both are speculation, and I thought it sufficient to just say they were descended from scorpions. I informed GhostAvatar of such, and said if he disagreed we could let an admin decide. Instead he insulted me again on my talk page and reverted it again. This I'm claiming as edit-warring and would like both the warring and the article content to be decided by a third party. Ghost and I have gotten along just fine until now, and I'd like it to return to that. Considering our recent exchange, I thought maybe I'd bring this to you.I don't blame you if you don't want to read the previous version of the article, my version and the subsequent edits, plus the talk between GhostAvatar and I. If you want to pass this on to another admin, I understand as well. -Pu239AndYou 01:21, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: -Check GhostAvatar's most recent edit on this article:Timeline. I take a similar issue with this change as the one that escalated above. The change to this article he made was unnecessary. I have no personal issue with Ghost but these black and white assertions seem to lack a certain amount of critical logic.

Sarsparilla
But it cant become chief rival to something that doesn't exist, it would be in fact the other way round. Nuka-Cola would become the chief rival to Sunsets 100 year dominance in the southwest. Plus it does not fit in the context talking about future events, but if it is to be included, then it needs to be worded in a better manner to display that it would later be rivalled by Nuka-Cola and not to Nuka-Cola. ☣Avatar☣ 03:03, February 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, explain this to me, if Nuka doesn't have dominance in the Mojave. How can Sunset become the chief rival of Nuka? Sunset has the dominance and would be later rivalled by and not to Nuka. I am not disputing the rivalry, just the way it is worded, it should be rivalled by and not rival of, the tense of the sentence is all wrong. ☣Avatar☣ 03:47, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed the sentence. There's simply no need for the timeline article to address the issue of rivalry. It can be handled on the Sunset Sarsparilla and/or Nuka-Cola pages.--Gothemasticator 14:41, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

9mm plus P rounds
Yeah, it was actually me missing one low-probability leveled item list being included in the standard 9mm ammo distribution. I just plain missed it, what can I say. However, the ammo IS a lot less common than it ought to be, owing to it not being included in the "Special Ammo" list like every other weird type of ammo. -- Yukichigai 03:15, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

9mm submachine gun
Just noticed you edit from December, I checked and it isn't 848, it is 850 caps in the GECK. ☣Avatar☣ 01:08, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * That is actually a bug, yes if you spawn 1 at 100% it shows as 848, but if you do it then values it 849. So it is actually valued at 850, but because of a bug somewhere down the line you cant achieve that in game. ☣Avatar☣ 01:51, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Or you can use the bug section, as that's what it is for. Otherwise you will have to start putting all bugged stats into the info box, that will cause arguments down the line and a big head ache when a patch comes out to check to see if the stats have changed. It easier to check bugs when they are in the bug section instead of checking the whole page. ☣Avatar☣ 01:57, February 7, 2011 (UTC) EDIT: Also just checked and using repair kits takes it to 849 as well.


 * Well if it is affecting everything, then it makes me think it is a Pipboy bug. Now the question is, does it affect the barter values? If it does then it is a game mechanics bug and then I would agree that it should be included in the infobox, otherwise then it is a display bug with the Pipboy displaying incorrect values and shouldn't be included in the infobox as erroneous data there has impact on unaffected parts of the game. ☣Avatar☣ 01:20, February 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have checked into it and it does indeed affect the derived values of the items, it also affects all items valued at 750 caps or over and not just weapons. By my working out, all items are multiplied by a value of 0.9993 and then rounded to the nearest number, hence why it dosnt seem to affect anything of lower value. Now the real issue is how to deal with it, because that's a lot of items it affects and a lot of people will be correcting the values between GECK and non GECK values. I think this is something that is required for a wider discussion in the forum. ☣Avatar☣ 17:17, February 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well thats going to be a lot of editing, as I said it isnt just weapons, armor, weapon mods etc are all effected as well. ☣Avatar☣ 22:03, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

My video was not for getting subscribers. Quote where I said in the video or on the article to "subscribe".

My video only proves that the centurions so called "killing 100 men on the battlefield" obviously isn't true.

Plus, the other editing I did was also deleted by you which did not advertise anything.

That still isn't a valid response, you told me the video I posted was to get subscribers. Something I never intended nor asked for. Second, we don't need the video yet you still remove my other post about them fleeing?

Multiple game titles
I think it should be written: (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas), because including the whole game title is how we do it on other pages. And I hope there aren't too many such pages, because, proper as I think it is to name them with both games in the title, it sure makes for a mouthful.--Gothemasticator 12:41, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, if an item is identical in multiple games, the disambig suffix should only contain the game of first occurrence, with disambiguated titles for the other games being a redirect to it. I.e. in this instance the page would be named "Stimpak (Fallout 3)" with "Stimpak (Fallout: New Vegas)" redirecting to it.
 * I think we discussed this as part of the then new overview/gameplay article setup, exactly for the reason that the disambig titles would get rather lengthy otherwise for many FO1/FO2 items. I think it's not mentioned in VA:ORG yet though, probably needs to be added. -- Porter21 (talk) 12:58, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Quest Names
I recently posted the following question on the Quest Project talk page. Since a week has passed and evidently nobody has seen it, I figured I'd pose the question to you, seeing as Nukey doesn't edit very often.

It seems to be standard practice for FO1-2 quest pages to be named after their Pip- Boy descriptions, as that's the closest we have to an in- game name. However, this has resulted in more than a few overly long page titles. Farrel wants you to find Cornelius's gold pocket watch. Find it and return it to Farrel., for example, is simply absurd, in my opinion. If for nothing other than aesthetic reasons, should we consider coming up with shorter alternate titles for these pages? Hal10k(Leonard Bernstein!) 05:09, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suppose you're right. The only real problem is that the quest names don't fit inside the autocomplete box that pops up whenever you try to create a link to the quest page- try typing "Hal10k(Leonard Bernstein!) 15:55, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Baja Rangers Article
You deleted my article. And you don't know anything about the Baja Rangers so here is their back-story.

Chief Hanlon: (upon successful speech 50 check) "It's kind of a long one, but all right.  About twenty, twenty-five years ago, a group of NCR settlers pushed way south into Baja.

They built this little shanty town around a well in the middle of nowhere. Called it Rattletail.

Word got back to one of our stations that raiders had been attacking the place. I went out with six rangers.

We must have been on the trail for a week before we got to Rattletail. We lost one woman to Night Stalkers and another almost died of dehydration.

When we reached the place, it's six shacks set up around an old well.

There's over two dozen bodies lying in the dunes way outside of town and five men with .308 rifles crouched behind sand bags.

And these bodies, these people out in the sand, they aren't raiders. Aren't even heavily armed.

They're just people who were trying to get to the only well in fifty miles. I didn't have to talk to the men to see that they did not care one bit.

They had planted an NCR flag over the well and they would not budge until every last one of them was laid out, dead and cold.

So I walked up and told them there was a group of raiders coming, one hundred strong. I made up some cockamamie name for them and everything.

The men looked at each other, looked at us, and asked me what we were going to do about it.

I told him we would take them back into NCR territory because we had already lose ten rangers on the way out. Ten Rangers, five men with .308 rifles.

Well, that was enough for them. They packed up what they could and we took them back north. Last I heard, they settled somewhere in Anza-Borrego.

Raised Bighoerners. Had some tough times, but it worked out okay for them. So there you go. That's my one bit of good."

This is ALL in reference to the Baja Rangers, and the reason why they deserve an independent article. It is very likely the Baja Peninsula could be involved in other games or expansions, and the Baja Rangers were clearly disconnected from headquarters following their own entire chain of command that was authorizing the murder of refugees.

Please message me your thoughts, and email me before deleting my posts in the future. Thank you.

Politics and opinions are irrelevant to the situation because that isn't what people think about when they see the video, they just see a mockery of a large volume of human suffering that was a little too close to home. Hopefully he'll realise that before his block expires, but I'm not holding my breath. --Flower of Pock-Lips 23:09, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hi i'm new here so i'm still trying to figure out all the rules. Am i allowed to make a news post about PS3 Themes.com? I saw it today and there's loads of fantastic FNV and FO3 themes there for the PS3 XMB so i thought it would be newsworthy. Trolly Polly 13:47, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

M16A1(Just A Note)
Hey, The reason why I deleted it is because the M16A2 has a grip taht has several holes along the front had guard that would be plainly visible, also the front guard would have a textured handle, I know this from actually using one during my tenure in the army. I figured id tell you rather than change it as I did not want to be rude. Thanks,

Pokemon
So, did you end up purchasing either Black or White? I'm going to hold off on getting it for a little bit, but I am most definitely getting White. TrailerParkApe TPA 20:39, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that you should un-retire from it because this new Pokemon game (I have White version) is amazing. It's almost as good as the original games. I think that you shouldn't give up on one of the best RPGs series of all time! I'll try and catch them all, just like I did for Pearl version. It'll be harder this time around though since my DS isn't compatible with my router. Get back into it! TrailerParkApe TPA 07:51, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Fanfictions on the Fallout Wiki
I was just wondering.

Since I'd like to accommodate myself with the Fallout Wiki before making any edits, I wanted to know if it would be okay for me to have my alternate Fallout story on here, in my blog. I've noticed that a few users, like Tezzla Cannon, have submitted their fanfictions here, and that Tagaziel has mentioned that he will post his post-nuclear short story on here, but I just want to have an official okay on me posting my Fallout fanfiction here. Rich Dickardson 22:14, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ehh, nevermind. I'll ask Tagaziel about it instead. Rich Dickardson 00:54, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Don't know how to properly respond here
Tagaziel doesn't seem to be responding. Guess it's because I'm so newbish that I forgot my signature.

So, before I make any edits, since I really don't want to screw up anyone's hard work, I'm gonna post my story in a blog post once the first part is done. Maybe sooner than that if I suck it up. Basically, as I believe I already said, it's set in an alternate Fallout universe where there's still Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, along with the other Axis powers of WWII, instead of Communist China.

Now, enough spoilers. Would it be okay for me to post my story on here, even if it's not all the way done? Rich Dickardson 14:09, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Nitty, this is Pookey. I made a general cleanup for the Fallout: New Vegas cut content. The page is too much vandaled. Sorry for the deleted entries, some of them are true.

I reported him to Jspoelstra, but the sooner he gets blocked the better I guess. gears of duty

Anti-materiel rifle
Just a FYI, it is customary to state the abbreviated term after the first instance of the term in its full use, that way a reader will know what is being refereed to when later encounting the abbreviated term later on in the page. Example would be the use of NCR by many editors, this is a term only known by those who have knowledge of the subject. To a uneducated, new or none knowledgeable reader, they would have no idea what this term refers to. It is kinda like the SMG page on wikipedia. User Avatar talk.png 20:09, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hardcore mode
Hey Nitty, haven't seen you for a while. Busy with school papers and Team Fortress, wasn't it. I see you edited the page Hardcore mode. What do you think of the page Hardcore. It was formerly a redirect but now has its own page. It's a strategy plan on how to beat hardcore. Should it exist (being a strategy)? Jspoel 01:03, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Blog comment
Sorry to say, but I found your blog comment on the newest wiki digest about achievement kind of offensive. You blocked an anonymous user for the same words you used yourself. I can understand that it can sometimes be frustrating to get childish reactions, but an admin should stand above it. If people see an admin can post such a comment, they might get the impression they can do it too. It's setting a bad example I think. Jspoel 22:25, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Deleting comments
Why are you deleting all these comments? I don't see how some of them are against any policy. Ausir(talk) 20:48, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * You should have deleted only ones that are against our comment policy. As in, ones that are flaming, insulting, spamming etc. Going a bit off topic is not against policy, nor are "fairly short" comments. Do not go on such deletion sprees again. Ausir(talk) 20:57, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see what's wrong with ones like "Guy's is it me, or does this whole dlc looked focused at grahm." or "Please Obsidian NO MORE Exploding collars. They are annoying and only infuriate gamers." Ausir(talk) 21:09, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Dear Nitty,

It would seem that we have a troublemaker in our midst.

The user known as TheRedcoat wiped out the forum topic "If you could design a Vault..." - I activated the "undo" button to revert changes, but there's no telling when he'll strike again.

Keep an eye on any suspicious activity from this fellow - if he continues these shenanigans, I would like to request his IP be banned to prevent any further chaos he may cause to this site.

Thank you for your time.

Question
Can i ask why Vault Behavioural Project was deleted? It is notable because it is to do with a major Vault-Tec experiment that went in many Vaults, and i also put the evidence in the talk page of it. Trolly Polly 09:06, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

There's lots of places with skill books that aren't marked. Fallout 3 skill books. The raider docks are located on the West Side of the Potomac near a bridge and wooden dock planks. I don't exactly know where it is (I think near Arefu).

wrong, there will just be holorifle tech, Elijah made the holorifle with schematics he found in the big empty, if there is going to be a hologram based weapon it won't be exactly like the holorifle, and if it is then it will be an oversight by the developers.Tozzler 01:12, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

FO3 NPC project
Hello Nitty,

Maybe you have forgotten about the Fallout 3 NPC overhaul project and maybe you haven't. I have recently been pouring lots of work into the project and have finished essentially the majority of all unfinished sections, including all the add-ons. However, there is one thing that I cannot do and that is give peer reviews. As the new project leader, I'm asking to to take some time out of your online schedule and do some reviews on the project, if you'd be so kind. Who knows? If I get enough people doing peer reviews, we could finally finish this project. We didn't finish it before Fallout: New Vegas came out like we hoped, but at least we can finish it. Best regards, Kastera (talk) 22:42, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Honest Hearts skill books
I thought now that there is such a stupid fully random part to getting skill books, people will try to get their book as fast as possible. I did it, so the work's done. Where should I put it then? :) It's obviously not really a walkthrough, but a description of how to get the skill books the fast way (otherwise you'd have to delete "To ensure you receive a skill book, save before going into a cave with a workbench crate for the first time." for the same reason, but I didn't write that). Vladimir-Lem 13:02, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Edit: So you did delete that part, didn't see. The reason I posted all that was seeing exactly that part of how to reset skill books. In any case, that's not allowed? Vladimir-Lem 13:31, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Waste and not allowed? What about this thing then: Duck and Cover! (Fallout: New Vegas), the Dead Money entry "Is stuck underneath the bed in the same room where you first meet Dean Domino. It is possible to retrieve the book by placing C4 and frag mines on the right side of the bed. After doing so, throw a grenade (for good measure) at the explosives and take cover. After the explosion, the book should be sticking out on the left side of the bed, and you can take it.". To me no difference between that and what I wrote considering Honest Hearts (and the little part that was already there where it tells people to save and reload).
