If your looking for something to edit...

Hi Matthewest, thanks for taking initiative, I saw that you asked Rpeh where you could help... Might I point you to the Morrowind Redesign Project and Bloodmoon stubs specifically? We do have jolly cookies XD If you want to, we can partner up on those. -Cheers, Benould^•T•C 07:55, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

I would also like to present you with an edit opportunity. See the bottom of Rpeh's Talk Page for more information. I can't offer you cookies, but I can offer you Moonwalks instead! --HMSVictory 07:59, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for that guys! I will certainly check it out. But remember I am only knowledgable about Oblivion GOTY and Morrowind. Looking forward to those cookies and moonwalks! =D --Matthewest 01:37, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Tamriel: Factions

Need a hand on this? If so, I am at your (and HMSVictory's) disposal. Just give me something to do, and I will do my utmost to complete it. Robed Dawnbringer 05:47, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Sure you can help. All you need to do is go through the Factions pages and fix up spelling and grammar. Also try to place links in the text and add information if you know it is correct. --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 06:05, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Fine. I'll do what I can. Robed Dawnbringer 06:33, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Message to you both: If you don't know much about the subject or a particular article, then try not to make any major alterations to how it's structured. I've already had trouble with that. Small corrections are still welcome, though! --HMSVictory^Talk 07:21, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Couple of questions: should the descriptions be in first- or third- person, and should I say "the player" or "the Champion of Cyrodiil, the Nerevarine etc."? Robed Dawnbringer 03:22, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Well we never use first person context anywhere on this wiki. Try to use "you" in your descriptions. Eg. "You will encounter Mehrunes Dagon on the last level of the Main Quest" or "You can join this faction by talking to ------". Also remember different types of tense. If the article is describing history of the faction then use 'past tense'. I hope that helps, and if you want to ask any questions then feel free to post them here! =D --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 04:19, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

You'll never actually need to include the word "you" in that context actually, since the Tamriel articles should not contain game-specific information. As said, they should document the history and status of the faction/race/etc. in question. No in-game references should be metnioned; we save them for their relative game-section articles. --HMSVictory^Talk 10:16, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

Quite right HMSVictory =P--Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 01:24, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
