User talk:Phiont

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, 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.

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

Thanks for the kind greetings. --Phiont 07:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Race
Race is a game setting. The same word "race" is used to denote human or ghoul as well as what we might call ethnicity - African American, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic. So, it's not a style thing, it's an in-game thing.--Gothemasticator 11:36, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. From now on, I'll try to complete the Race box with an appropriate ethnicity and I'll be sure not to specify American unless the character happens to have African roots.  By the way, in the editing world these "in-game things" are commonly referred to as points of convention, formality or style.  --Phiont 14:01, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * To clarify: There are four and only four ethnicity-type race settings: African American, Asian, Caucasian and Hispanic. The field in the infoboxes is for recording this information, not for any subjective determination.--Gothemasticator 14:14, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'd meant to write "the appropriate ethnicity," as in one of the four ethnicities available during the game's character creation process. And yes, I know the game refers to them as races.  --Phiont 15:03, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Mod
Because it's a bug with the mod, not the weapon. Therefore, the bug goes on the mod's page, not the gun's page. It's what we do around here, otherwise bugs about how Jean-Baptiste can't be looted end up on articles like Plasma caster. Nitty Tok. 02:10, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, some users (including all Admins) have access to a one-click revert tool; however, the drawback is that it doesn't allow for leaving a message, but it's capable of reverting multiple edits by the last editor of the page, all in one click. -- 03:10, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the feedback. I understand now that posting a bug warning in both the article for the weapon and mod is not allowed.  I'll be sure to remove any second warnings I see for the same bug.  To begin with, I'll remove the bug warnings from the 10mm pistol mod articles that warn of a Weathered 10mm Pistol bug.Phiont 12:09, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
