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 existing entries are researched periodically, and all are expected to meet the standards set forth. If not met, the user’s name will be removed from this list.

Any of the following are immediate disqualifications:

• Fewer than 200 constructive edits outside "User" and "Talk" namespaces.
• Inactive on UESPWiki in the last three months.
• Blocked from editing within the last three months.
• Non-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."

Any mentor may also remove an editor's name from this list provided an acceptable reason is given on the user's talk page. Some things mentors may take into consideration include, but are not limited to: frequency and severity of notices/warnings received by the user (and the user's responses), etiquette and civility displayed by the user, and familiarity with wiki formatting displayed by the user.

[edit] Available Mentors

• Elliot (talk) - My strength in terms of The Elder Scrolls series lies within Oblivion; however, I do know my way around Morrowind. I also am knowledgeable in terms of Wiki Markup. I don't claim to know everything, but I know enough to get you started. I am also learning HTML and CSS style sheets. Additionally, I have superior grammar skills if you find yourself lacking in that area. You can always find me hanging out in the IRC, on the UESP Forums, or the Official Forums. Contact me somewhere, and I will be glad to help you out to the best of my abilities.
• 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. Helping new users is my favorite, so feel free to leave me a message!
• Game Lord (talk) - I know quite a lot about general Morrowind gameplay, although my greater strength lies in Modding. I'm getting better at wiki syntax, including templates and CSS style sheets, although I'm only allowed to edit my own. 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.
• 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.
• Wolok gro-Barok (talk) My knowledge regarding the Elder Scrolls series is mostly restricted to Oblivion, but I also know a thing or two about basic Wiki-markup and the English language. I like showing new users the ropes, so feel free to contact me.
