SKOOMA in all its beauty why the heck is it in oblivion?

[edit] Location List

Should there be a list of all the locations where you can find Skooma?64.131.15.50 19:41, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm fairly ambivalent about the idea but I would just say that if you wanted to make one, it would need to be game specific and not part of the Tamriel pages. There used to be a page at Oblivion:Skooma but it got binned due to lack of information. Transcluding the Tamriel page and adding a list of locations might make it worth bringing back. --Rpeh^Talk 03:33, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

I am going to add this myself, for Morrowind at least, as Oblivion is rather obvious when concerned with Skooma. (¬¬¬¬)

[edit] Vandalism

This article has recently be vandalised by an un-registered user. The entire locations list was deleted for no apparent reason. Changes have been reverted. (HMSVictory 11:05, 6 November 2007 (EST))

The locations were deleted by Nephele and not by an unregistered user. She is an administrator here and not a vandal! Please check the history of the page. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 11:31, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Also, the information was not deleted but was actually moved to Morrowind:Skooma; apologies for my poor edit summary in the page history. Game-specific information belongs on pages in the game's namespace, not on a Tamriel article. The Tamriel articles are supposed to provide general information and lore that is common to all Elder Scrolls games. Therefore I created a new article on Skooma in the Morrowind namespace, moved all the Morrowind-specific information to that new page, and changed all Skooma links in the Morrowind namespace to point to the new page instead of the Tamriel article.

Also, you may want to read over articles such UESPWiki:Vandalism and UESPWiki:Assume Good Faith. Accusing another editor of vandalism is a pretty serious charge, and should only be done if the editor was unambiguously acting without good faith. If you ever notice an edit that you don't understand, the best thing to do is ask for a more detailed explanation on the article's talk page. UESPWiki:Consensus and Help:Editing Pages also provide additional relevant information. --Nephele^Talk 11:47, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I am extremely sorry! I will avoid reverting any changes that I believe are cases of vandalism I see in the future. I will always be wrong, trust me. (HMSVictory 15:02, 6 November 2007 (EST))

Well don't ignore vandalism completely, just know what it is and when to strike, Remember the good faith assumption we have here on wiki and if you see someone intentionally trying to just make a page worse then call vandalism and revert the changes. --Western3589 15:05, 6 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Skooma pipes

"Can be smoked using skooma pipes"? WTPF? How in the name of Azura do you smoke a liquid? That just doesn't make sense to me. Darth Cronus 09:36, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Umm im not sure but i think you know the term "vaporization".

[edit] Found in random places?

I found like 4 bottles in the Serpents Wake. Did anyone else find some in serpents wake? Theyh were really small so i was lucky to have even spotted em--║Æ║ 23:08, 11 February 2008 (EST)

They're not random - fixed only. I don't think there are 4 either. There's definitely one in the mid-deck but that's the only one. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 02:08, 12 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Skooma smuggleing ring

Is there a page on on cheydinhal skooma smuggleing ring? (If not would it be worth me making one?) ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bartimeaus77 (talk • contribs).}

They have a brief entry on the factions page (here) and the pages for the NPCs in the gang mention it occasionally. There's also a brief note on the Kingscrest Cavern page. I don't think it's really worth more than that to be honest. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:29, 16 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Addicts

Possibly this article should contain a list of known addicts. In Shivering Isles, there is a woman in Crucible whom you can basically act as a hookup for to get her skooma. She's all strung out. i can't remember her name. anyhoo, it seemed worth mentioning.

And in spilt the J'zidzos have 8 each.
