Hi, Giamgiam, welcome to UESPWiki! You're more than welcome to help out with monitoring what happens on the Recent changes page. However, the Patroller tag that you added to your user page has a special meaning, implying that you have gone through the nomination process to officially be added to the Patroller user group. Having the tag on your page, and adding yourself to the Patrollers Category without being an official Patroller could lead to some confusion. If you are interested in becoming a patroller, you may want to look over the nomination guidelines and work towards meeting those recommended criteria. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! --NepheleTalk 13:29, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

OPRP[edit]

Hi there! Thanks for your help with the OPRP data. A couple things to watch for in the future:

  • Go through the notes on the old version of the page and make sure there isn't anything there you need to keep. Ignore things like "good loot" or what types of enemies can be found there--those will be covered by the new version of the page. Use your best judgement for what to keep.
  • If the original page listed related quests, copy that information and paste it just below the Notes section of the new page.
  • Some of the original pages include a picture, usually of the outside of the location. If the page you're editing has a picture, make sure it is included in the new version.
  • When you're done pasting data, you can go ahead and delete it from the OPRP Data page. I usually just wait until I'm done and then clear it all out.
  • You could also include the map key as you go. I have a Notepad document open with this: {{NewLine}} == Exterior == [[Image:OB-Map-Key.png|thumb|right|Key to Maps]]

...and I just paste it over the original Exterior title.

Thanks again for your help! The more people we have doing this, the faster it will get done! --Eshe 14:09, 2 July 2007 (EDT)


You are a linking machine! XD --Kementari 14:15, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Minor edits[edit]

Just wanted to let you know that when you make small edits such as just adding links, as you've been doing a lot lately, it helps out a lot if you mark them as minor when saving the page. This keeps them from flooding the Recent Changes page so that we can keep track of other edits that are being made. Thanks. --TheRealLurlock Talk 23:13, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Actually, never mind, it looks like you figured that out on your own eventually. Thanks for contributing, by the way. --TheRealLurlock Talk 23:21, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
Actually, the only reason I figured it out is because I saw you correcting CharmSpell for making the same type of mistake. So, you did help me correct it, just not directly. But thanks, I'll keep that in mind from now on. Giamgiam 23:25, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Copyrighted Zelda Image[edit]

The image you chose to upload to the site for your custom userbox is a copyrighted image, and therefore was proposed for deletion more than two months ago (October 14th). I've gone ahead and deleted the image, in the process breaking your userbox. If you would like to find a replacement image that is not copyrighted, you can upload the replacement image and fix your userbox. If so, could you also try to find a more descriptive name for the file when you add it? Thanks! --NepheleTalk 18:58, 1 January 2008 (EST)

Place Page Descriptions[edit]

Giamgiam, please, please don't add links to the place page descriptions. This is a subject that has been discussed to death at many times. And any edit that involves changing hundreds of pages should be discussed before starting it. --NepheleTalk 19:01, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, wasn't aware of the taboo, was simply doing what I had pretty much always done; I'll keep clear of that. Are there any simple projects like that need doing? Giamgiam 19:04, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
The Task List is where all projects are listed. --NepheleTalk 19:14, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
