New Vegas Add-ons
I think you should update the add-ons page with the news of all three of the next DLCs, I don't have permission to do this myself, so I was just tossing that out as suggestion. --Geerardr 18:36, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hijacked account?
Avatar, do you have any knowledge about hijacked accounts? I just received a post about it, and I don't have an answer. Do you? Jspoel 19:30, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Glowing One
I see you're creating pages just for the Glowing One ghoul. Why are you decapping the word one? Glowing One is a proper noun I thought. Jspoel 20:07, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, it's not like a super mutant (sub)species like brute, master, overlord etc., but a specific variation of the feral ghoul, with an own, special name. Special enough for me anyway to certainly prefer Glowing One. Maybe just like Crazed Mr. Handy. Remember that one? JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 20:17, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Redirect Hull, 12 gauge
I have redirected Hull, 12 gauge to Hull box, 12 Ga.. Hull, 12 Gauge (so with a uppercase G) was also redirected to that page. Jspoel 14:58, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Removing the divider...
Hi! I am sure you have noticed the divider removal (don't know if you miss it), but I haven't seen anybody from our Vault on that discussion and maybe you have an opinion too, even if it is for the removal. :) GobTheGoul 21:38, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you think the same about it and hope things will get better soon. GobTheGoul 22:33, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Item overhaul... maybe.
I would like to try & work on overhauling the "Jet" and maybe later "Psycho" pages, but I'm not sure about what all should be listed in variants, if more than just Jet, Ultrajet, & Rocket. Also, judging by the example of the Laser rifle page, I would probably need to make 3 Jet pages (1 for each game that features it, with Dixon's being listed on the FO:NV page), 2 Ultrajet pages, and probably leave the Rocket page mostly as is, just change the links & such. Anyways, I gotta sleep after posting this, & will probably be back on in 6-8 hours (5-7am Pacific time). =P Ooh, also any info/tips for doing the Jet overhaul would be greatly appreciated. I have what (little) work I've done so far on my sandbox. Thanks for your time, Canti-sama(talk) 06:00, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your helpful reply. I knew I was right to come to you. =P Oh, I should probably put my name on the Item overhaul project page & add Jet to the list, right? Thanks again, Canti-sama(talk) 14:35, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Armor and clothing images
I uploaded a few armor and clothing images in the old format this evening. You gave me some explanation for the new format but I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like to do a few myself, can you explain it to me one more time? Having trouble with the eyes and turning the flesh white. Jspoel 19:38, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, this one image has cost me about half an hour if not more. Some work left I'd say. How do you create the shadows on the faces?
 * Got it. Think it will be an hour in all for 1 image. Ah, next one will be a lot faster. Thanks for all the help.

Misc item category
I'll go with what you decide, but I just thought I'd say that while I can understand that, for the older Fallout games, the miscellaneous items category is for items that cannot be categorised by any other category. However, in FO3 & FNV, the game files have the category of "Misc Items." I can understand exceptions for certain unique items, such as the schematics & bobble-heads in FO3 having a more specific category as well, but I think that since they are coded as Misc Items, and appear as such in the Pip Boy's inventory list. I don't know if this has been previously discussed in regards to FO3 & FNV, but it might warrant it if it hasn't. Of course, my opinion is probably a bit biased, being a packrat & all, but I do like accuracy too. =P Thanks, Canti-sama(talk) 18:14, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * That makes sense, but I was also wondering mainly about the category tags for items that are in the misc item section. I can understand having the intro statement only have the most relevant type linked to, but what about things like holotapes that are both misc item & note? Going by how misc items that are also quest items have both category tags, I think they should too. Canti-sama(talk) 18:46, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

sockpuppetry...
...even if he isn't a sockpuppet -- which seems incredibly unlikely, all things considered -- his vote should still be struckthrough, as that one vote was his only edit. Ever.

Damage per AP
How is damage per AP calculated for automatic weapons? By my logic it should be: (rounds fired per VATS attack * damage per shot) / AP As an example, the Automatic rifle: (2 * 40) / 35 ≈ 2.29 is this correct? --GobTheGoul 18:06, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Auto
Avatar, can you take a look at these 2 pages .45 auto pistol and .45 Auto submachine gun? I capped Auto on the submachine gun page, thinking of it as a proper noun, but I'm not sure. What do you think? Jspoel 18:21, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already thought it was.

Auto vs auto
It is not a proper noun. auto is auto. The auto means it is just an automatic weapon. It is not an actual part of the name or brand. There is not anything that makes it a proper noun. .32 caliber isn't a proper noun, .5.56mm round isn't, etc. Trolly Polly Olly 18:29, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

.45 Auto pistol
Hi, the reason I added that to the page was because of Josh Sawyer's statement about his fascination with Mormons, which mentions the M1911 specifically The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-Day_Saints. I think he mentions it a couple of times on his Formspring too, sorry if I have violated any policy in adding that. Similarly, "baptism by fire" is a concept within the Mormon church to do with the Holy Ghost; the Burned Man's statement from the trailer seems too close to it in name to be a coincidence. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 23:34, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and please can you direct me to the policy about the use of real-world weapon names on the Vault so I don't make the same mistake again? Thanks. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 23:36, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks! That seems fair, since I could see potential arguments arising from issues surrounding that. Josh seems to imply that the two are the same but never actually says it explicitly, so I'll add a link but to Wikipedia so as not to suggest that on the wiki. I will also create an entry in the Burned Man's behind the scenes section.
 * Can I ask something? You reverted a few of my contributions and I'm not sure exactly why . I thought it might help to explain what exactly my intention was with each edit:
 * Old World Blues
 * Changed the image dimensions to 240px width, the width of the infobox, so that when box art is added it will be consistent with Dead Money and Honest Hearts.
 * Moved information about the level cap and new traits from the opening section to a new notes section.
 * Corrected a link to bypass a redirect.
 * Removed a cast section which is inconsistent with the Dead Money and Honest Hearts pages and added the limited information therein to the new notes section.
 * Added a note about the open world setting and the lack of equipment stripping, from the news article.
 * Removed an empty quests section.
 * Removed a few short paragraphs describing what is going on in a video, and simply added the video in question in the page (it seemed - and still does - far simpler).
 * Removed a random link to the PlayStation blog in the "Behind the Scenes" section.
 * Zion Canyon
 * Added two factions from the "Inhabitants" section to the infobox.
 * Removed the pre-War name of the location, as this is covered in the "Behind the Scenes" section.
 * Corrected some grammar in the "Background" section, as well as bypassing a redirect to the timeline page, removing an unsourced claim that non-Mormon Christian groups have settled the area, and adding a verification tag to the claim about the Burned Man's residence and motives.
 * Removed non-mandatory (according to location guidelines), empty and (as far as we know) irrelevant buildings section.
 * Removed inhabitants section.
 * Removed sentence about its "unspoiled beauty" that is already described in "Background", from "Appearances" section, where it seemed out of place.
 * Removed two near-identical screenshots that were uploaded in the PNG format, which as I understand it is not preferred.
 * SLCPD SWAT armor
 * Changed "SWAT" in the opening paragraph to its unabbreviated form for consistency with the "SLCPD" acronym, thereby rendering the "Behind the Scenes" section redundant.
 * Removed a trailer cap which doesn't show any more than the image already present on the page.
 * Snow globe - Zion National Park
 * Removed "n/a" baseid from the infobox, as the entity appears in the GECK, so it must have a baseid which is simply not listed on the page.
 * Removed the "Locations" section because the item, as something that does not appear in a game, does not have a location. I checked the item formatting guidelines and the "Locations" section is non-mandatory so I removed it for later addition when the DLC is released.
 * Whew! I spent almost as long explaining the edits as I did making them! I want to help, but I'm not sure exactly what was problematic with my edits so I'm hesitant to add back any information until I hear from you. Thanks. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 17:50, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, and while I'm on the subject, can I ask what was wrong with the opening section of the Burned Man article ? I used the "Burned Man" moniker first because that's what he is primarily referred to as, and put his birth name in parenthesis in the same way that Wikipedia does. The Malpais Legate name is not his current name, and is described later on in the article anyway, so I thought that could be removed, and also the paragraph is written in past tense, implying that he is dead (which suggests to me that it was originally written at a time when the Burned Man was thought to be dead). --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 17:58, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for getting back to me! A couple of things I just wanted to say:
 * Re: infobox image defaults, I think the image defaults to 240px in either dimension, so portrait images do not take up the full width of the infobox; that was the issue that cropped up with the Honest Hearts box art.
 * I hadn't realised that the "Quests" section was mandatory, I couldn't find an add-on page guideline. Apologies.
 * The locations guidelines give the impression that the "Buildings" section is mandatory only for settlements, which Zion appears not to be. Again, apologies, I hadn't realised this, although it might be worth clarifying those guidelines as an admin. Same applies for the "Inhabitants" section.
 * Perhaps then, on the SLCPD SWAT armor page, we should use the full-body image rather than the half-body image?
 * Sorry about the Snow globe, my knowledge of the game files is limited.
 * I just didn't see the point of including a "Locations" section if it is non-mandatory and the item doesn't currently have a location.
 * I thought Joshua Graham was mostly referred to as the Hanged Man in design documents? But anyway, those were just some points to consider, if you're going to revamp those pages then I won't make any more edits along those lines to them. I just wanted to make sure that all the pages in Category:Upcoming content are as high-quality as they can be before the Honest Hearts release, as there's going to be a lot of new information and considerations like formatting and accuracy tend to get lost in the shuffle for a while after things like that in my experience. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 19:36, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think using Fallout 3 add-on pages as a guidelines is appropriate. Those pages don't have box art as such, and so total consistency is impossible right off the bat. Also consider that the "banners" used on the Fallout 3 add-on pages are landscape, and therefore 240px width - I think there's an argument to be had that perhaps the Fallout: New Vegas add-ons should also have that, if we're arguing from consistency.
 * That said, I don't think consistency is possible, and therefore we should just go for whichever looks better. The width of the infobox is fixed at 240px, so it won't make a difference to the overall page layout whatever we use - but I personally would prefer the 240px width box art because it takes up the entirety of the space provided and doesn't leave the weird green background all around it. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 21:02, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh right, the box art is what I was talking about, I see what you mean now. I actually use Monobook and I still prefer the larger box art - if the issue is the box art stretching the page, then I don't think any of the add-on pages are long enough for that sort of thing to happen anyway, as most of them are list-type things with lots of whitespace down the right-hand-side. Although it's true that the Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas pages set a precedent, perhaps put the issue to the community so we can have a proper policy on this?
 * You said that "most of it was good" (referring to my edits), can I ask why they were all reverted completely then? Is it perhaps preferred if I made multiple smaller edits, explaining each one as I did above so any individual problematic ones can be undone and the rest left intact?
 * Oh, and by the way, you appear to have accidentally removed information about Veronica Belmont and the upcoming Qore preview in this edit . --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 21:40, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh right, I was under the impression that Qore hasn't been released yet due to the issues with the PSN store and the video is simply a preview of Qore, my bad. Although it does appear that you accidentally removed a bit about the open-world nature of Old World Blues. I think if the two of us are opposed on box art size then a discussion is the best way forward for getting a consensus, although if uniformity is your main concern then I can go across the wiki and make sure that all box art are 240px width. I wouldn't be against changing the template so all images in infoboxes default to 240px, but I'm concerned that there's a reason why this hasn't already happened, like maybe vertical page stretching on shorter pages (that aren't about games or add-ons). To me, it seems like it would be easier getting all the box art the same width than changing the setting for the entire wiki and correcting where it looks weird, because there are far fewer pages featuring box art than short pages with noticeably portrait dimensions. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 20:15, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

The Burned Man in Honest Hearts states that the .45 Auto Pistol was designed by "one of his tribe" (Mormons) "almost 400 years ago". Does that constitute sufficient evidence that the .45 Auto is the same as the M1911 for inclusion into the article? --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 19:49, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Talk Page
I'm already aware of the policies regarding discussion pages, but honestly, it was an old, massive, largely incomprehensible, angry rant that wasn't even in categorized into a subtopic. Deleting it was inconsequential if not helpful to the layout of the discussion page. Your point was still understandable though, so I decided to at least move the entire rant into its own subtopic since it wasn't already in one. Now here's where I'm mildly confused. I'm not a very active admin so you're gonna have to bear with me, but why was that move undone as well?

Hey! It's me again, throwing yoy a deletable page. ? (Fallout: New Vegas) has no content. I don't know if you're busy, but I'll just slap this here so you can get to it quickly. Thanks for looking! --  Valoopy 01:43, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Not to swamp you, but a new one just popped up. Thugs. I'm only sending you these because you are quite possibly the best admin here. --  Valoopy 02:02, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I have them. Is the only way to find out by asking a bureaucrat then? --User Avatar talk.png 14:36, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Flash game Fallout reference
Hey! Me again! I wanted to note that | this game has a campaign with references to Super Mutants, the Enclave, Vaults, the NCR, Raiders, AND The Chosen One, but I couldn't decide where to put it. Mind showing me the place to put it? --  Valoopy 23:30, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Akright, over to the big boss! --  Valoopy 23:52, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

War club
The war club image you uploaded before with the green beads etc., where is it from? --User Avatar talk.png 01:41, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay I'll pretend I know what you're talking about considering how I haven't downloaded the add-on yet :P. Anyway mods for melee weapons? Interesting. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 01:48, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

I see, thanks for letting me know! --User Avatar talk.png 01:54, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Weapons infobox
Should be fixed. -- Porter21 (talk) 07:05, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but the red error messages shouldn't have appeared even with attackshots/sec missing, so there was still a bug :) By the way, I've increased the number of supported perks to 9 - Nitty mentioned the combat knife is affected by 7 perks now. -- Porter21 (talk) 21:08, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Giant spore plant
Why did you remove it from the Honest Hearts page? I haven't played HH but it is in one of the pre-release screenshots - definitely looks larger than the ones in the base game. Ausir(talk) 10:53, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Honest Hearts images
Hi there, I see you uploaded a high-res image of the Cloud from the Dead Money intro slideshow, is that a screenshot or was it ripped from the game files? If it's the latter, I don't suppose you could do the same for the Honest Hearts intro (and possibly ending) slideshow? I'm sure the images would be very useful. --Lugiatm (talk · contribs) 12:39, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Help
Hello. First of all, allow me to apologize, since this may constitute a breach of the rules on the site; I haven't actually read any rules on the subject (and I have tried to find a set of general rules, but I've found mostly guidelines and policies), but it may constitute "Ban evasion", a common rule on most forums and such. Again, if so, I apologize.

I am the user "Luckmann" and was just, without prior notification or warning, banned, by one "Tagaziel" for "Reason given: For being a Nazi apologist AND supporter." Now, I've in no way used The Vault as a soapbox of any kind, just like I don't treat any forum or wikia I am a member of as a soapbox or a political engine. I have even taken the time to help some that others would label my diametrical opposite (including myself), such as "Suppressor Prime". My only only crime seems to have been that I offhandedly remarked that I was a national socialist in a comment relating to Tribalism and Primitivism (National Socialism naturally relating to a tribalist world-view, separate from the idea that all tribals are also primitives). No-one else raised an eyebrow, but I appear to have drawn the ire of Tagaziel who immediately began to badger me via my Talk page. I tried to explain to him that obviously, our definitions differed and was more than courteous in answering any questions he had, but it appears that despite this, he chose to ban me.

I cannot see any rules which I have broken. Not a single bad word or even voicing hostility of any kind, and ask you for an unbanning. In my short stay with a real account on the site, I've made a small number of friends, I'd love to contribute in the future and would hate to leave just because an administrator happens to dislike the politics I support.

Thanks. Block ID: #10845, I won't post my IP publicly for obvious reasons. :)

I originally approached Master Mold with this issue but have since not replied any word from him, for which reason I now approach you. I hope that's alright.

Luckmann
Why are you removing it? The Vault is for standards, not indiscriminate inclusion of every piece of human trash that enters it. I've researched his character and Varenus Luckmann (google it) is a known Nazi supporter. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:36, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's a more extensive argument: banning Luckmann is in accordance with our policy towards racist, sexist and otherwise bigoted users. The blockee has openly identified himself as a Nazi (or Neo-Nazi if you wish). Nazism is an ideology that, at it's core, includes deep chauvinism, sexism, xenophoby and hatred. This wouldn't be that horrible, if he was simply a misguided kid, but the problem is that he is a 25 year old Swede who openly promotes Nazism via his deviantArt account (google Varenus Luckmann deviantArt, it's plastered with swastikas and other symbols of hatred) and participates in Swedish neo-Nazi assemblies backed by the white supremacist Stormfront.
 * Now, you claim that I'm letting my personal feelings get in the way of reason. Yes, that's right. I'm getting my personal feelings get in the way because they are right. Nazis killed hundreds of thousands of my countrymen; commited unprecedented crimes against humanity; repeatedly humiliated Poland and other subjugated countries. They have killed millions. And now you are claiming that we shouldn't let that "cloud our judgement" when someone of our generation openly identifies himself as a Nazi. Who are you to forgive Nazi crimes? And before you deny that, yes, by lifting the block you are sanctioning the presence of a declared Nazi on the Vault.
 * Don't do that. Freedom isn't absolute and it certainly does not apply to Nazis. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 20:05, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, such a precedent already exists. We have banned racist, sexist and otherwise bigoted users for their views in the past. As I said, freedom is not absolute. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 20:22, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then we share a common historical background. However, I must question your logic. If we are completely not allowed to discriminate against people based on their beliefs, then we cannot ostracize neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other human trash. This is where I draw the line in my tolerance. As I have stated, Luckmann's presence on this website is now sanctioned by an administrator. I do not like that, nor do I like the association that may be made.
 * And don't accuse me of bigotry. Just, don't. There are very few kinds of people I proactively bash and all of them are human trash, like neo-Nazis. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 21:08, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * You are not addressing this specific situation Ghost. This isn't a "certain belief". This is a belief stemming from a murderous ideology that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands. As such, given that the ideology has been time and time again proved to be insane AND murderous I believe that it is better to take a proactive stance and make life as hard as possible for Nazis, than allow them to worm their way back into public life. Some ideas need to be aborted from the start. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 22:17, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Swedish neo-Nazi assemblies backed by the white supremacist Stormfront." Just a note on that comment - there is no such thing. Stormfront has absolutely nothing to do with any politics whatsoever in western Europe. If you do know of any such ties, please inform someone so that they may be purged immediately. I know what I am and I am nothing of the things you describe. I am sorry we couldn't come to some amicable solution in this, because I harbor no ill will against you. As per GhostAvatar's request, this is the last I will say on the matter, even if confronted with questions pertaining to my stances. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/6/6e/Luckmann_Grenade_Signature.png Luckmann 21:45, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that you claim that chauvinism and hatred aren't core points of nazism it isn't a far fetched assumption that you're oblivious to other obvious matters. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 22:17, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

If I may cut in, I see that the both of you have valid points, but an actual ban, until he has actively used chauvinistic, sexistic, xenophobic and hateful comments, is uncalled for. Every person has a right to an opinion, but they can keep it to themselves. Best regards Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 21:13, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hey man just a question how much work does it take to be a good editor? I have edited some stuff but I think I am not doing a good job. Help please? Smashingz 00:30, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Can you comment on my blog post about Luckmann? --Gauzzy 03:19, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

PSN info.
I made a blog post about when PSN store is belived to come back on. Is this news worthy?--RAM 17:33, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Sorry about the whole thing with me being rude and all. I'll try to be more level headed and polite next time. TST 20:07, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Light Shining in Darkness
Yes...? I'm confused as to what you're actually asking me lol. --User Avatar talk.png 21:05, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I removed it o.O --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 21:09, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

The thing is I didn't even remove it because I didn't notice it until later as you can see in the history. Maybe while you edited it out and I changed the into the actual name, because I was editing an older version of the page it re-added the information automatically? I didn't know it was possible to bypass the edit conflict screen, you say this has happened twice now? --User Avatar talk.png 21:19, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Strange. I wonder, if this is a problem that is only going to get worse is there a way of fixing it? Don't suppose it's worth it yet. And hey, living in Britain I know as much about guns as a deathclaw knows about vegetarianism, so it would have been quite the achievement if I did add it :P --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 21:34, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, and I can't seem to get the "add to gallery" buttons working lately now that you mention it although it's probably unrelated. And I wouldn't know, I try my best to stay away from men with pitchforks and strong accents! --User Avatar talk.png 21:47, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

I see
But looking at the information for the image I see two images where only the silencer attachment is being shown by itself like other weapon modification pages have their pictures set up. How do I get that image in the article over the one with the pistol attached? Great Mara 23:06, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Background
Is that what happened? I thought I just C&P'd an edit count template, is there an image code in there too? Great Mara 23:54, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Guess that serves me right for playing monkey-see, monkey do with templates. X.x Great Mara 23:59, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * How did you get the image to split? Playing around with other images in the wiki has them fill the whole page including the text area instead of just the borders. Great Mara 00:25, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ghost of She's Paw
From what I've seen in the geck, Ghost of She's Paw is the correct name for She's paw. I'm not good with redirects or changing article names, I prefer to let the admins do these things, they know best. :) --GobTheGoul 17:24, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
