UESPWiki:Mentor Program

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Mentor Program here at the UESP was created as a means by which experienced members may aid newcomers with understanding the inner workings of the Wiki. Mentors help and advise new editors as well as anyone else who may require their assistance.

If you feel in need of a mentor, choose one from the list below and leave a message on their talk page (i.e., click on the blue "talk" link and then add a message on that page; see Editing Discussion Pages if you’re new to editing).
Anyone may add their name to this list to become a mentor; however, be aware that each new entry will be researched, and are expected to meet the following criteria. If not met, the user’s name will be removed from this list.

At least 200 constructive edits outside "User" and "Talk" namespaces
Active on UESPWiki within the last three months
Enabled email capabilities

If a proposed mentor wishes to keep his or her email capabilities disabled, the only other option is for the user to have been a regular, active participant in IRC previous to the self-nomination. Only an administrator can determine if a user's IRC participation qualifies as "regular."

New editors may also want to look through Getting Started for additional advice.

Also please keep in mind that the Mentor Program is intended to provide users with help with UESPWiki, not gameplay. If you wish to assist users with gameplay, you may want to add Userboxes to your user page.

Please note that mentors do not have access to any special tools, such as the Administrators possess. If your problem is one which requires an administrator's intervention, see the Administrator Noticeboard

[edit] Available Mentors

Benould (talk) - My main strength lies in Morrowind. I'm also fairly knowledgeable about wiki syntax, English syntax, grammar, and spelling. Ask me if you want to help with ongoing projects to improve Morrowind and its extensions pages.
Eshe (talk) - I know a thing or two about Oblivion and enough about the Construction Set to get by. I'm also fairly knowledgeable about wiki syntax, English syntax, grammar, and spelling.
Game Lord (talk) - I know quite a lot about general Morrowind gameplay, although my greater strength lies in Modding. I am also familiar with wiki Templates and can design reasonably advanced ones. I'm an expert on HTML encoding, which, although it should be used at a minimum, can be helpful in editing large articles and especially userpages.
GuildKnight (talk) - I'm most familiar with Oblivion and its Official Mods, as well as Shivering Isles. I would be happy to help anyone with editing basics or UESP's style and preferred layouts.
HMSVictory (talk) - My main area of expertise is Morrowind, and I know a fair bit about Oblivion. My skills with English language are pretty good, and I enjoy aiding new and inexperienced editors on the site.
Nephele (talk) - I'm knowledgeable about Oblivion, and I know a fair bit about how to get things set up on the wiki.
Playjex (talk) - I know A LOT about Bloodmoon, so ask me for help. I also study the Religions of Vvardenfell. It's sort of, a hobby. You can also reach me on the forums on Bethsoft.com. I also like starting new mini projects.
Robin Hood (talk) - I'm knowledgeable about Oblivion and most of its official mods and I can make my way around the Construction Set. There are still a few wiki things I'm unfamiliar with, but I can usually get the job done somehow, and can certainly help with all basic wiki editing, as well as some of the more advanced stuff.
Rpeh (talk) - I know my way around Oblivion and the mods, and I'm learning about Morrowind. I can at least look things up in the Construction Set even if I can't create much with it and I'm pretty good on wiki syntax including the arcane mysteries of templates.
Somercy (talk) - I'm best with Morrowind, but I can help teach anyone to edit. Not perfect, of course, and hopeless with most actual coding, but I can support and befriend anyone, gladly. I'm not some frightening dragon-goddess-admin, I'm just another editor. (Currently inactive, see notice at top of user page for details)
SubtleCynicism (talk) As if there weren't enough who are already, I'm knowledgeable about Oblivion and the Shivering Isles, as well as the Construction Set and modeling. I also have a fair amount of editing ability.
TheRealLurlock (talk) - Knowledgable with Morrowind and Oblivion, pretty handy with the CS in both of them. Also good with graphics issues, Photoshop, etc.
Timenn (talk) I'm knowledgeable about Oblivion, Morrowind and their expansions. I also know a deal about the Construction Set, wikis and image editing. But in any case I'm more than willing to help you find a solution or at the least point you to the right direction.
Timmeh (talk) I know a lot about Daggerfall and Morrowind, and I've played Oblivion, Knights of Nine, and Shivering Isles. Most of the time I'm working on Daggerfall, so if you have Daggerfall and you want to start editing those pages, I'd be the most qualified to mentor you. I'm in the IRC room almost all the time, and I'm very knowledgeable about IRC. I'm also a patroller.
Vesna (talk) - Being last on the list, I'm still not in the least (Whatever that means.) Expert with photoshop and Image taking. Know a lot about Oblivion in general. I have a fair amount of experience with the Wiki and the Forums. I also know a lot about getting the older games such as the Arena or Daggerfall running, having spent hours configuring them myself.
Volanaro (talk) I know my way around Oblivion and Shivering Isles pretty well, I also have a basic knowledge of console commands so if you need anything, just ask.
