Question
On the Jack (Great Khans) and Diane page the song reference keeps getting removed but it seems to be present here: Fallout: New Vegas cultural references. Remove it? Great Mara 04:30, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I dont know how to make my own thing so ill do it here. Why cant we post what weapons in game are similar to weapons in real life? whats the point? I think its interesting to learn that that gun actually exists, obviously most do. Service Rifle is just like the AR-15, .45 submachine gun is a thompson, also looks like a ppsh-41 with the expanded drums mod,and This Machine is an M1 Garand. The 12.7 mm submachine gun looks sorta like a P90 and in Fallout 3, the chinese assault rifle is an AK with a different stock. Hows that? -Pacman2789

Admin discussion
I created the following Forum:Discussion - Admin responsibility definition in response to the calls in Tag reconfirmation. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Thanks.--Kingclyde 22:35, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Verification
I think I may have found a website that would allow us figure out what's pure speculation and what isn't. J.E. Sawyer has an account on Formspring (here) and answers questions of all natures but particularly ones RPG related. Could you take a look at it and see it's a legitimate source so we can finally get some "Behind the scenes" confirmation on things like This Machine = M1 Garand, .45 Auto submachine gun = Thompson, cazadors = Tarantula hawk, etc.? Kastera (talk) 02:23, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent. I'll get to researching soon. I think the page you're thinking of is A Light Shining in Darkness.
 * It worked; we now have verification on This Machine, Automatic rifle, .45 Auto submachine gun, and cazador. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

Mantes
You have a point but Mantes is acceptable because Mantis is greek and the plural has an -es ending. kevobk 01:15, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Mantises, Mantes, and Mantids
Are actually three accepted forms for a plural of Mantis. However, I looked after Kvobk made that edit and was unable to determine whether or not one words was more predominant in certain regions of the world or not. Hence why I left it as it was.

Aside from that, I have a question. The Archive option isn't appearing in the drop-down section when I try to get to it on my talk page. Great Mara 01:16, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Mantises
Granted it may be more common but this doesn't always mean right, more than anything I just wanted to prove that they could both be used correctly (and I have). The preference is more my own belief as the word is taken directly from Greek, mantis meaning prophet, with the Greek plural as mantes or μαντες. --User Avatar talk.png 01:31, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not always, no. Many people believe that "alot" and "atleast" are words and they probably outnumber the people using them correctly, does this make them right? No. And I already said it was a belief considering how it is directly taken from the language in question. Regardless, this doesn't change my point that they are both correct. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 01:47, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * And your own source even confirms that mantes is also correct, and wikipedia can hardly be recognised as the definitive source on such things. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 01:51, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * In fact, your source actually prefers mantids over any of the pluralisations, making it a poor "pro-mantises" reference. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 01:54, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * The distinction is arbitrary, mistakes can fall into common use. And I've told you twice that it is a belief, you don't need to keep mentioning how "I'm making it up". --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 01:59, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, that is strange. And as for wikipedia, it suffers from the same weaknesses as anything in the format of a wiki - human error. It is by nobodies estimation a definitive source. --User Avatar talk.png 02:05, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Evidence? This could be constant back and forth between websites that prefer one term over the other. The National Geographic also prefers mantids and uses it exclusively, as a compromise might I suggest we use this instead? It seems to be the more accepted term used by professionals in those fields, assuming theprayingmatis.org falls into this category. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 02:28, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * How about you look up your talk page? --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 02:34, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * And some information for you, apparently my belief isn't as baseless as you'd like to believe. Mantis is by no means an ordinary English word. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 02:42, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Not exactly fully related, but I'm a guy. >_>; Great Mara 02:45, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't say you are, apologies if you aren't talking to me. Back on subject, no, further up. That is at least one person on my side, as policy dictates. And actually Great Mara's comment just provides support for my claim that they are equally interchangeable. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 02:56, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * And actually, the "wider use" you refer to is the mantodea order, and mantes, mantises or mantids can equally be used in reference to it so no, mantids doesn't refer to the wider spectrum. In fact, your own wikipedia source uses mantises to reference the order, not mantids. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 03:00, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * You want me to create a discussion based on this one word despite the fact that you asked me to originally find one outside party to agree with me as per policy and I have managed to do so? Frankly that should mean the matter is settled. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 04:49, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, you gave me six minutes to reply then, and before I was exploring the policy in an attempt to work out the necessity of a discussion topic. I was about to say I'll start the discussion tomorrow after some sleep but nevertheless, thank you, that's a load off of my mind. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 05:06, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

I know there's generally some deabte of Mara's gender in the Buddhist myth, but I mostly take my name from the running gag in the Shin Megami Tensei series.

Thank god I am not the only one who has been thinking that. It has been plaguing me for the past few weeks, but I had no definitive reasoning. User Avatar talk.png 20:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what kinda tipped me off about the time of the whole Tag vote incident. There whole style of typing is reminiscent of Flower, especially the way they tried to counter arguments. That coupled with the type of pages they always edited (mostly canon, debatable topics) and general attitude, kinda made me suspect them. The whole date etc is the clincher in my view. But this has only made me believe that they are defiantly a troll who relishes in the argument, always flying close to the rules but never over them. Always trying to antagonise certain Admins and provoke a response, strangely this time they tried to get me on there side lolz. But that's why I have kinda kept out of the arguments and viewed it from a distance waiting for a slip up. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 20:53, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now it all makes sense. I did start to notice the same arguments over and over again and also realized that every edit I made or another admin he was quick like lightning to revert. Glad you figured it out.--Kingclyde 21:18, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent reasoning my friend and good job for proofs! I had problems with Pock-Lips at the time with Elijah page (visible in the history of Elijah page and in Pock-Lips talk page), and Lugiatm attitude and edits really remember me Pock-Lips but I was not sure also to act and had no proof (and I didn't think anyone would be so machiavellian on a wiki for do this sort of thing).

Signage
Does this apply to all signage? I am thinking about things like the signs in the Vault etc. But I guess with this move, Goodsprings general store needs to be capped as well. User Avatar talk.png 01:36, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Signs like Overseer's Office. I know it is kinda a stupid question, but I need to know where to draw the line and that we are all on the same page. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 01:56, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with the dialogue etc., as that is always inconsistent. But if we agree that only external signage for buildings denotes a proper noun, then I am happy. But looking at it, Craterside Supply needs to be changed to The Craterside Supply as that is what's on the signage. And Cutter's clinic comes from the name showen on the HUD when you go to the door.

 * I would go with KJV since that is what the devs have already directly referenced, so it most be assumed that they also intended to reference the same with the Lone Wander and not the more understandable modern translation.

Re: Picture of House
I always thought it was as he owned RobCo and that was the company that built Liberty Prime. I believe you were wrong to delete my edit of Liberty Prime for the following reasons: 1 - Robert House founded RoCo Industries. 2 - On the RobCo Industries wiki page it clearly lists Liberty Prime as one of its creations. 3- If RobCo built Liberty Prime then the Picture of House standing in front of the Robot legs is surely Liberty Prime and not some other giant robot. I only followed the evidence as laid out in game and here on the wiki. Canon confirmation would be required by the developers. Captain Taipan 05:10, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Human
Hello my friend ;)

I don't agree and please discuss before make decisions alone on something who was already chosen by The Vault several years ago.

"Pure" and "Non-pure" human definition are part of the background of Fallout since Fallout 2 and should be respected like any other part of the Fallout universe. All this was chosen long ago in early age of The Vault, and also allow an understanding of why and how the objective of the Enclave. If something must be change, it's not for us to decide on this one but Ausir.

If you want a better understanding on that, please play Fallout and Fallout 2. Have a nice day and see soon. Itachou [~talk~] 12:34, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, I replayed Fallout 3 right now and yes, pure and non-pure human are not the same. The modified FEV of President Eden for Project Purity kill all mutated creature (including "non-pure" human), but no "pure" human (as he says himself, not those who grew up in a vault, and no the Enclave members). Itachou [~talk~] 13:48, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

In fact, only you have act pragmatically, I only follow the policy established in The Vault with "pure" and "non-pure" already used in The Vault. If you wanted to act properly, you first start to come talk to me and then we will have a proper discussion.

Also, it's not only the opinion of a few NPCs, it's a fact show in Fallout 3 when the modified FEV of President Eden are put into the Project Purity. Also Eden is an artificial intelligence, not a human, its opinion is much more neutral than Richardson. What do you want for other evidence? A detailed map of the DNA change?

Anyway, it is not for you to decide for the infobox, it will be the community decision. So why the cyborg designation is put in the infobox, since it's not a option of choice? The infobox is a part of background and gameplay information, not only gameplay information, like I already say to you, gameplay and background have the same importance. Waiting for the discussion, nice evening and see soon. Itachou [~talk~] 17:31, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Who decided that for the infobox? Itachou [~talk~] 17:38, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Toshiro Kago page
Also, please don't remove background information about character. The Vault is not a wiki only on gameplay but also on background, allowing it to grow and become as important as it is now. Background have the same importance of gameplay here.

The samurai background is for give depth and understanding of Toshiro, embellishing correctly the background section and since he is the last samurai in the Fallout universe, it's therefore specific to himself (like Paulson for cowboy). Two other admins, Kris and Ghost have seen the page and found nothing to complain. Itachou [~talk~] 12:53, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * And for background information about weapons like wakizashi or the 9mm Mauser, what do you think?

I can do it if you want ;). I'm not the kind of person who will wait you have to turn back for put what I want on The Vault. I prefer to show things and see what happens and what can be done for the good of The Vault. If you don't mind I do the re-write in 30 minutes for Paulson, it's like you want, if it's ok, please take a look later to see if it suits you =). Itachou [~talk~] 18:20, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're welcome =), there was not much to be done in fact! I remove the cowboy background, take a look if you want. Next step, the Reavers page that I work on it for a while ;). Itachou [~talk~] 18:47, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

I re-write and add the explication for the wood sorel mon on his okegawa dô, since he used a mon was not used during this period by any clan, will be confusing some people I think of why he have it since the samurai class was allowed to used mon. Also, it's a proof that he was abducted during the Tokugawa shogunate and not before ;). Itachou [~talk~] 21:54, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Video usage policy
Posted to my talk page on March the 9th, i never seem to check my talk page however :( "Please see our video policy. The video you have added several times to the ranch page does not fit our standards of use.--Gothemasticator 16:03, March 9, 2011 (UTC)" Hardly "several times". I added the video to the page once, and then a user removed it without reason, to which i responded by replacing the video on the page and leaving a reason as to why i felt it was necessary. "Embedded videos may only be used in articles if they illustrate issues which cannot be expressed by written text at all or only with difficulty. Examples for acceptable videos are game trailers or a video illustrating how to find an item which is in a hard-to-find location." The video was of the "wind brahmin" encounter at Brook's Tumbleweed Ranch. I felt the video was worth having on the page since it was a special encounter which is rather hard to not only describe exactly how it triggers, but also to describe exactly what happens. -EllEzDee 22:41, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. It did not include any hard facts, however, just your opinion, (and we all know what opinions are like...we all have one). We asked for documentation to back up your assertions, you gave us none, quite a disappointment. Wearing a cross as jewelry is quite different from having one as a grave marker, not something many non-Christians do. After further analysis, we did decide the note about the Stealth suit MK II was, in fact not correct. Not because of your opinion, but because the Stealth suit MK II, like the Yangtze memorial, was made before the bombs dropped.

Hi Gothemasticator :). Would you care to do the honours of officially closing these three polls as they are currently awaiting their official result. Thanks for your time,

Do I really have to give you a detailed rundown of atrocities commited by the Soviet regime, dwarfing those commited by the Third Reich by several magnitudes? How about the Ukrainian famine? The Katyń mass executions? The Great Purge? By forbidding Nazi symbols, but allowing Soviet ones, we create double standards.

Re: Cultural refs
Mayor Cobb: I honestly think that's not a reference, too vague.

Brain's Best Friend: That one could go either way, I have no clue if it's a coincidence or not. I haven't seen the movie, so I wouldn't know.

Manhunt 2: The only difference between Leo Kasper and Leo from Lily is that the latter doesn't physically take over Lily's body. In the game, Daniel Lamb (Manhunt 2's Lily, essentially) has to fight for control, as Lily has to take Medicine.

Titan A.E.: It's almost word for word what they said in the movie, adjusted for the game.

Xbox Achievements: The specific culture it's referring to is gamer culture, which achievements are gained for watching the credits and usually unlocking a new cutscene.

WWII
yeah, I have seen the edit and talk page. I am going to let it rattle around in my grey matter a little bit. As for Flowers, it was just a nagging feeling to begin with and others also commented on it as well. That was until those topics where posted. This is because I have had this discussion about real world vs Fallout world and what should and shouldn't be included in a page, many times other than those posted. The thing that strikes me is the fact that those discussions that Flowers was not aware of, where not posted. But all the discussions with Flowers, under both account names, for the same type of discussion, where posted. Which leads me to only two conclusions, it is either Flowers or someone who is a avid follower of them and knows there alt accounts as well. But like you, I have not found any other real evidence.

I have corrected it, you actually need to put section tags in the page you are transcluding from. Unfortunately it doesn't transclude from the section title. It only transclude the infomartion contained between the  and  tags. User Avatar talk.png 15:31, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Categorization Format
Hey Goth. Recently I've been re-categorizing some of the Fallout: New Vegas locations. In each location category I have been making subcategories such as 'Location characters' or 'Location Buildings', and putting whatever fits into each category. However, I have found a few locations where this format doesn't work (Notably Camp Guardian), because they don't have buildings, they have caves and other areas, etc. Should I just classify them as 'Camp Guardian Locations' or as 'Camp Guardian Buildings' just to be consistent with format?

Latin
Just a quick question... One of the edits that has been bothering me: "Festus is latin for 'festive, joyful, or merry', an apt description of Festus himself." I've noticed quite a few edits like this and in an arguement with AFollower, he mentioned that this has already been approved. He didn't mention who approved, so I wasn't sure who to ask. Skål! 15:47, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your swift response and action. I had noticed a few more edits like that, so I'll see if I can track them down again and remove the Latin meaning. Skål! 16:02, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

I figured I should ask an Admin before trying to remove this again. * "In the start of a battle Butch may shout "Sit on it!" and due to his relative look to "The Fonz" from the show "Happy Days" it can be considered a reference."

Insults in chat and some other stuff
I have the names of users who trolled at me yesterday in chat, saying that I am a terrible writer, and an admin will block me for being like Tezzla Cannon and removing my adminship on another wiki. Taking part. Took part in Cartman!s rant and saying Gauzz made equally shit fanfictions. Taking part. - saying that I will be blocked for being like Tezzla Cannon. Calling a cunt and saying he is arrogant etc. - a bureaucrat on another wiki, made me an admin and removed my adminship. I hope these people would be reprimanded because of their offense. Thank you and have a nice day. --Gauzz Rifle ( talk · contribs) 10:52, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * EB/Liam: Taking part.

I was there at the time. EB also took part too I think. They were slandering Gauzz and Cartman!, an administrator, even called him a cunt. If you can get a chat log of yesterday afternoon and evening, you will see the incident and insults said. RehabReject 10:59, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

This is the beginning of the story. I have asked Rehab why Nemesis removed my adminship on his wiki. Rehab said he wants to annoy me. Then, the story of the trolling has begun. Chat conspiracy, admin rants, all of those begun. He used Cartman, and Cartman was clearly logged in and inactive in chat. I have made my mistake.

Yeah, after seeing everything on that alt account, plus the various message left to me on other Wikia wikis for extending the ban, it was for defiantly the best. What surprises me, is that an Admin is capable of such actions, especially a long establish one at that.

As for Gauss, yeah that was another big mess to clear. Seems I was baptism by fire, lolz. Just one last thing, do you think you will be around to make the verdict on the Mod votes. It doesn't feel right to me to make that verdict (even obvious one), when I also voted on them. User Avatar talk.png 20:48, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Luck's block
If this is over the 'Purebred' and 'master race' comments I'd like to point out 2 things. Firstly the Purebred statement refered to horses themselves, secondly the PC Master race thing was a joke refering to how PCs are better than consoles due to their upgradability, neither of these was targeted as a racist comment, and many other users did not see these as racist either and I feel this makes the block unfair as no warning was issued over the comments which were controversial at best. - Crazy Sam10 Talk User blog:Crazy sam10 15:41, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * All of these things were small, and only came together if they’re in-depth analysed, and most weren't added at the same time, but instead gradually over time to see if the wording was adequate (which with no warning he assumed it was). As I've said, whilst other users know of Luckmann's views they don't find what he added to be offensive and as previously stated in my earlier comment the master race was a joke about PCs, not aimed at any person, and I myself have seen other users use it in a joke. His purebred comment was used at it is the term used for animals and that is why he choose to use it, as it is for animals, such as ponies. This makes me feel his words have been looked into too deeply and has caused him to gain another block. - Crazy Sam10 Talk User blog:Crazy sam10[[File:ShadowAttackSmallAni.gif]] 16:40, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Luckmann didn't mean anything remotely racist, and assuming that he did is a poor display of administrative behaviour. It is imperative you remove the indefinite ban on him. What technicality will you catch him on next? That his Rarity avatar has a hat which remotely resembles a Nazi officer cap? Time to get real, as Sam said above you looked far too deeply into what he said, however whether you did this as an attempt to find something to ban him on, or just a misjudgment is yet to be revealed. I'm going to expect that you've just misjudged the situation, in which case you should issue an unban and apologise to Luckmann. --Callofduty4 17:12, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

I have to support this ban. His beliefs are shown clear throughout his speeches and videos and he challenges authority to point out these beliefs while leaving subtle meanings where he thinks he can avoid retribution. It seems to me that he likes to push buttons to see what sort of reactions he can stir up. Skål! 17:21, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Why is Luckmann being banned anyway? Unless a wide array of people complain and he doesn't show his views everywhere in a bad manner, he's fine. The British Empire have done two millennia of raping lands, torturing innocents, slave trade triangle, and imperial conquests. Does that mean we should ban all British flags? And arguably the US have done crimes against the Middle East, Vietnam, etc. Should we ban US flags too because of that?

I also noticed while I was an anon, you said that people can use Spetsnaz flags however, who have done things equally bad as Nazism. You can't just say one thing is okay and that everything else isn't. You can't just use one size fits all. Undead Hat 19:08, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I told you in chat to drop the "British flag" thing. Viewing and judging such events from centuries ago from a modern perspective makes absolutely no sense, and with that logic almost any country flag could be considered "offensive" as most have done something "wrong" (highly subjective) at some point. It holds absolutely no weight in any argument regarding the relatively recent Nazi imagery. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 20:40, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with calling himself "aryan" it may be commanly used with racisum yes, but the word it's self is just a description also, 'pre breed' is also, strickly speaking not wrong either as both blonde hair and blue eyes are the weaker genes they're most likely (statistically) that someone with blue eyes had atleat one blue eyed parent, meaning there has been less of a gene mix with people with differnet colour eyes. Seeing as a pure bread is just the same race having been bread, there's nothing actually wrong with calling something "pure bread". If he was to say it made him better than people who were, for example, black then yes that is racist. But a description of what he is isnt racist. 19:06, September 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree, Luckmann has been banned because of something that clearly wasn't racist. If you want to keep him banned for no reason, then do it. It just makes the entire administrative team look bad if a user who did nothing wrong is banned. You're acting as if he even offended anyone, he didn't mean to, and if he did, he would have done so with much more gusto. It should be clear from what he said that he's not a racist and he isn't a Nazi. You even restricted his right to argue this out, that's such a poor call of action and makes it look as if he had something to say that would be enough to get him unbanned, but you don't want him unbanned, so you decided to revoke his ability to talk to you about it. Very unimpressive behaviour by two trusted administrators, I must say. --Callofduty4 20:50, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure no one appreciates your ignorant banter. He has been given a lot more chances then most, and has been given a lot of wriggle room. You speak as if you know him personally and have witnessed every moment of trouble that he has given this site (Or the other way around). I'm not necessarily defending the point that he was being truly racist under this recent incident, but he hasn't given anyone the benefit of the doubt either. Skål! 20:55, September 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * And equally, I'm sure no one appreciates your ignorant banter on his talk page, comparing his edit count to the number of the devil is both obscene and is absolutely unwarranted. Then you had the audacity to undo my edit commenting it out, citing that I can be banned for what I did, almost as if you were trying to make some legitimate point, when all you were doing was trying to make him feel worse. I'm not going to be able to trust a guy who decides to deface the blocked user's talk page with obscene and rude messages in an attempt to offend/be funny, and then has the pure audacity to undo a rightful edit removing it. --Callofduty4 20:08, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

I do not wish to insight any anger or anything here but I have to stick up for Luckmann. After speaking with numerous people it has become clear that nobody has been offended by him, rather we actually like him as a user. I do accept that he has been given warnings before but I disagree that you blame him for flouting his views around. Not once has Luckmann's political or any other views come across in a conversation, he is polite and always a pleasure to talk to. He will be sorely missed by many. Most people don't even care, he didn't bait people into political debate, he didn't force his views upon anyone etc. I agree with things that have been said that (again I understand that he has been given numerous warnings) it is unfair to target Luckmann when there are, I am sure, other users with questionable content upon their pages. And even if you did see what was written as racist, it was a joke. How many people can you find in this world that hasn't told an offesive joke? There will be few. If we set out to censor the whole world so that nobody was offended it would be a dull place indeed. We can't do it, there is no pleasing everyone so we just have to get on with it. There are stigmas and stereotypes attached to everything these days. Would you ban a user that was constantly telling women to "get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich"? Even if the female laughed it off and didn't care? If she replied in kind? If the society as a whole has no issue with it then why find issue? I have seen numerous times on this Wiki power being abused for the holders own gain, it seems as if because there was bad blood between yourselves and Luckmann you have had your vision clouded by a red mist. A year is a hell of a long time for a joke. Anyway, I have said my piece and I hope you respect what I have said. I can guarentee if you speak with other users they will back me up on the whole issue of Luckmann being a great guy and never forcing things down other users throats. Please keep this in mind, I miss him dearly Miss Nicolletalk 01:24, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

A sincere apology
I was banned yesterday for calling you "Gothicmasturbator" on chat. This was a complete and utter innocent mistake on my part and I accepted my ban as I can see why it would cause offence. I thought I would apologise to you for what was said, it was in no way intentional, I misread your name and honestly thought that is what it was. Again, you have my sincerest and deepest apologies. I hope I didn't cause too much offence with my mistake. Miss Nicolletalk 02:28, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ah right, I see :) Thank you for accepting my apology ^_^ It was an honest mistake, I would never do that on a purpose as there is no reason to.

I think you should address the community as a whole rather than just four users, since I can, just out of my head, count out at least 10 other users that are breaking those guidelines, some of them administrators. It might seem petty, but it felt a tad like a personal attack since you're "singling out" 4 users out of 15. I'm probably over-reacting, since I feel a tad irritable at the moment, but still.

Signature size
I have noticed the messages to others and after reviewing the policy, I to am in violation of the policy, in both width and quantity. As I view it, the policy purpose is there to prevent obtrusive sigs that also affect the text around it, so I can understand the high restraint, but I feel the other 2 are a bit to restrictive in this nature (especially when others can extend there sig width with ASCII art either side, without violating policy). Personally, I don't think that my sig violates the general principle of the policy, only the specific requirements later stated in the policy. This is why I am messaging you, as my view is somewhat biased on the subject since it also effects me directly. So I was wondering if there is a way to relax those specific requirements or up them, without the hassle of going through the process of forums, voting etc. But, if I need to set an example I will do.

RE: Achievements
Sorry, i just added another batch before reading this, i'll stop now : embarrassed:

RE: Transcripts
I added one link and one blog post. Is that cluttering the articles?

I asked to be included in the references, not to have the writing attributed to me. There is a difference. I've done a lot of work to collect these transcripts and would like to contribute to the Wiki, but I do want the credit for the time I've spent doing it.

I don't plan to personally add every transcript I've collected to the Wiki, but I wanted to offer them up so that anyone could post them. But if someone else is posting them, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that a link to my site be included. AFAIK, there is no other source for Lonesome Road dialogue transcripts on line at this time, and I thought making them public here might be helpful.

I didn't mean to offend or overstep. I have been a long-time user of the Wiki (never created a user account 'til recently, but have been using it without registering for years) and wanted to give back. I am new to the editing side of things, maybe you can educate me on the proper way to contribute.

--Jayelle 15:03, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I have no problem with not linking to the site when I make an update. I posted my request with my blog post in order to avoid having people copy and paste transcripts from my blog and claim the credit for transcribing them. I haven't uploaded many of the transcripts because I have not been sure to what extent they are wanted or needed here, but thought it possible that someone else might find them and include them here without my knowledge. Certainly if someone else takes the time to re-transcribe the same dialogue, that person should claim credit for that work.

I don't claim authorship of the in-game content, and I state this clearly on every page of my blog. I only want to receive credit for taking the time to make them available to anyone who wishes to see them in an out-of-game format, just as anyone who posts gameplay or cutscene videos on YouTube would not want someone else to re-upload those same videos under a different username.

By way of explanation -- not excuse -- I come from an academic background, and when I was in graduate school, we were taught that if come across a quote from a primary source, you cite the secondary source where you found it, not the original source itself, unless you subsequently traveled to the location of that primary source and saw it with your own eyes. In other words, if I read a letter from Eleanor Roosevelt to her husband that is reprinted in a Roosevelt biography, I have to cite the author of the biography, not the letter itself. This protects historians and writers who take the time to do original research and holds us to a higher standard of academic honesty.

My error was applying this standard of research citation to this Wiki, but I hope you understand where I'm coming from. In my field, attribution of secondary research is essential, hence my prejudice towards attempting to protect my research works. So, to ask directly -- how much of my transcription would be appropriate to include here in the Wiki, if any? And where should it be included -- on the page of the character who said it, or the character about whom it was written?

Thanks. --Jayelle 18:19, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Katana
Hello Gothemasticator =)!

I agree for gameplay page to not add too much information out-game but actually wakizashi appears in the Fallout series and Katana page is a background page, so I think it's good to notify that for the reader, it's not because it's impossible to do in-game that doesn't exist, limitation of the game engine should not be taken into account for background information.

Hi Goth. I was wondering if it would be wise to alter the policy (you not me) to remove the one image only part. Many of us have two images: one for the user page, one for talk. This includes notables such as Cartman!, GhostAvatar, myself (not that I consider myself notable) and various others. As no-one, not even you guys at the very top object, would it not be possible to remove that clause? I don't think there is much harm in having two images. Anyway, thanks for your time :).
 * Also, could you contribute to the debate in the forum regarding Pure Human vs Human. I know you have an opinion on this ;). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for that, I understand we shouldn't give people strategies, but maybe we can rephrase it into something less strategical like "Having Friend of the Night while using the red vision creates a bright monochrome effect." would that be acceptable? I'm not trying to tell people to do it, I just wanted people to know what happens and if they like it cool, if not, then now they know why it happens. --Felix Brehh User Avatar talk.png 03:10, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just leaving you a message to why the "Strategy" Section I added to Caravan was removed. I believe this to be useful information that show people how to beat the mini-game. (It also shows failing in the mini-games design).

Awaiting your reply InfiniteParadox

Would you look at Calvert (Brain), please?
I believe I removed some "this is how I do it" strategy from Calvert (brain) (diff here: ). If you have a minute, would you take a quick look and either bless it or revert it? Please drop any replies here; I'll be watching the page for a while.

Thanks so much!! &mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 23:03, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Against All Tyrants
So what's the point of having a page if there is no help anywhere on HOW to complete the challenge? Quests have the walkthroughs, but challenges don't? The editing policy doesn't talk about challenges, so I'm just extrapolating here. If the page is going to be a HELP, it should be more than just dry collection of facts.--Soma4themass 04:04, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Dr. Strangelove
I'm new here, so I just wanted to clarify something. When you said there needs to be a visual reference rather than thematic, does that go for all articles or just cultural references pertinent to specific games? I really just added that reference because it was something I found interesting coincidentally rather than because it was pertinent to F3. Just wanted to check, I don't want to be adding superfluous material that people constantly have to clean up, I had a similar problem with streamlining on another page. Thanks!Heirofgonzo 17:32, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Sig size
Thank you for the compliment on my sig; I think I have finally gotten it down to size. Take care, FalloutGirl   10:29, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Chat mod & rollback rights
With the new moderator "rank", should we still give out chat mod and rollback rights separately? I think we need to settle on a common stance here. -- Porter21 (talk) 14:45, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Block me all u want
Just remember that, hacking you can be a pleasure, but I was helping you at the same time. It is a shame I have to do this, after all, you were the first wikia i found in Jan. Block me all you want cuz i got a proxy.

Major trolling starts after you block this IP. Don't block it, I won't bother you. Block it, See the end.

Speculation.
I have to admit I tend to be bias when it comes down to speculation/references. My OCD tends to act up when I see something that hasn't been confirmed and just seems like someone's over-active imagination going to work. (To my knowledge at least). I'll try and not to be so hasty in future contributions when dealing with such things. Skål! 02:42, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Comment
Of course, I apologise. Just pointing out that this isn't the kind of Wiki where the admins are "worth" other users or considered to be ranking higher. I'll mind my manners :3 Hugs  "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Comments
I've deleted the comment because it was disrespectful bile directed against Tim Cain, with no prior research done. It fit the definition of trolling to the letter. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 17:45, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Which still doesn't fit the criteria of me insulting others. I express my amazement and displeasure at the claim that someone has developed tastes and yet considers Fallout 3 top of the line when it comes to Fallout products. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 18:27, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Tagaziel's case
Well, where do I begin?

I've been around for a few months now, and regulary noticed the deleting of some comments that seemed unjustified to me, and usually to some of the people involved in the "debate", mostly harsh arguments between people that liked and didn't like Fallout 3, or criticism toward the first games. While until this day I could only have doubts regarding the admin's identity, it seems now rather obvious that Tagaziel is heavily implied.

Here are the last of my comments that were deleted: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/Elakin

I'm not the kind to complain about a little abuse here and there, usually. Mistakes happen. But what I cannot accept is the fact that Tagaziel himself is often one of the person debating, sometimes being even more immature than the people he refers to as "trolls" to justify his actions. This is not the first time he acts with such partiality. And this is certainly not the last.

Now I know it's probably not the first time someone complains about such behavior, but it shouldn't happen. It is neither his role nor his right to delete something because he himself dislikes it.

I hope this will lead to something and not be an empty action. Thank you for your time.

 * The comment that I deleted was identified as pure trolling. Elakin has not done any kind of research concerning the matter and posted a statement that can only be identified as intentionally disruptive and provocative towards other Vault users, particularly those enjoying classic RPGs. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 18:21, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you even bother to check the deleted comments? Or did you assume that I'm abusing authority vested in me just because I'm Tagz, the professional bastard? Here are his comments deleted:

""Who cares, really? What did this guy do since FO1? Nothing but failures. 15 years of nothingness, and yet he's still praised by some as a "genius"."

"" As for Fallout, he started making it in 1994, all by himself, writing the code all alone, until people like Leo, MCA and Taylor joined up to help him with this mastermind project of his. "

Yes, started. Until a hundred people arrived to do the job. As for the MMO, I didn't ay anything about it, since I'm commenting on the games that were released but you're free to say crap if you want. Also, I'm uneducated because I'm not a fanboy drooling all around the place when he hears the name of a guy who made some more or less "good" games? Thanks for the info. As for the players score, don't make me laugh. The opinion of a completely unprofessional, subjective fan is worthless, and that's what most people who played his games are."


 * In essence, you're chewing me out because I deleted a random <100 edit guy's comments, where said guy was calling people disagreeing with him drooling, worthless fanboys (basically). I don't think you're taking the correct course of action here. I might be snide, but I no longer outright call people names like this guy. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 18:53, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Comment deletions
If you really checked the deletion log, you'd notice that I've deleted about... 14 comments in the past week, 2 per day. It's not my fault that the system is deleting child comments, instead of making the first reply a new parent comment. Your statement about me deleting comments too liberally is baseless. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:28, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Why did you remove my edit on the Allistair Tenpenny page? I think it is worth noting that he is one of the most evil characters in Fallout 3. And at the very least, it should be worth noting that you get positive karma for killing him.

Sorry! I didn't realize I wasn't logged in when I posted that ^

Art of the kill 03:16, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to make sure you knew, I restored my file that showed up in the notes. The reason for this was that I took into account that Light touch adds a flat 5% to the weapons critical rate, meaning that a Minigun (Fallout: New Vegas) would get a flat 5% bonus per bullet. That is much highter than normal, and the Shoulder mounted machine gun normally doesn't get critical hits, but this pers ensures a 5% critical hit chance per bullet.

Goodbye
Bye Goth, I wish you luck in all your new ventures :). Come back to say hi when Fallout 4 comes out, okay? Who will look after your brother's awesome picture now?! See you Gothemasticator, and good luck.
