[edit] If You're Still Interested...

I finally got around to uploading the key program I told you about. See the end of this for information. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 13:29, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. :) --Gez 15:31, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Speedy Deletion

I would just like to bring it to your attention that i've rephrase two of your requests for speedy deletion. They were placed on pages that met the qualifications, but not for the reasons you put them. The two pages you put up for deletion fell under the criteria for speedy deletion under test pages, and nonsense pages (one of them at least). Please look here for more information. Please do not call these pages useless, as that type of critisism can be hurtful and rude. Thanks!-Puddle ^{Talk+Contribs.} 21:04, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Umm, actually, neither of them met the criteria for speedy deletion. They both contained meaningful content, i.e., they contained intelligible sentences providing a description of an Elder Scrolls game. Nonsense means nonsense: unintelligible gibberish. They're also not test pages: they were both created by editors who were actually trying to create a new article, not editors who were simply experimenting to see what happens when they hit edit.

Another way to think about it is: would the original editor understand if the article suddenly disappeared without any explanation? In both of these cases, it's safe to guess that the answer is no. No matter how misguided the editors may have been, they deserve a chance to see why the article is being deleted and a chance to respond to the deletion (even if there's no chance the article will be kept). Speedy deletion is only appropriate when it is immediately obvious to everyone involved why the article was deleted. --Nephele^Talk 21:21, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Small Request

Hi there. If you have a moment, please could you replace the uses of {{Namespace}} on your page with {{NS_PARENT}} instead? It's not a major problem, but I'd like to get rid of the last couple of references to the Namespace template so we can get rid of it and replace with a magic word instead. Thanks. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:30, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

There you go. :) --Gez 14:48, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

(tugs forelock) Thank 'ee kindly good sir! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:51, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Maps

Since Rpeh is away and probably won't have time to do them, I would like to ask you if you could make the maps for Polle Gold Mine. I have no idea how to make them and I've seen that you can do TR3 ones, so I'm hoping you can recycle yourself for TR4 as well! Just a quick reminder: I've already 'keyed' the occupants, traps and doors here so it would cool if you could keep them in mind when doing the maps. Thanks. --SerCenKing ^Talk 14:43, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

Sorry, there's no CreateMaps that I know of in Oblivion... As for taking screenshots from the editor, that's not really a possibility as far as I'm concerned given how I can't seem to make it display things that are more than four yards away, so I couldn't snap the entire mine in one shot. --Gez 19:18, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

No worries, I'll just have to wait then! ;) --SerCenKing ^Talk 06:11, 31 May 2009 (EDT)

[edit] TR userboxes

In case you're interested, I stole your TR userboxes and turned them into standard userboxes: User TR3 and User TR4. The only really difference is that with the standard ones you'll get added to the "users knowledgeable about Tamriel Rebuilt" categories. --Nephele^Talk 10:33, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

Heh, nice. User:Theviking and User:BC have used them, too. And probably others. Curiously, Special:Whatlinkshere/Image:TamrielRebuiltIcon.png pretends no pages link to it. And the main page for the image is filled with stubs. --Gez 10:47, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

Theviking has already converted over to the new templates; I'll leave a message for BC.

What links here for images only shows pages with text-style links, e.g., links such as Image:TamrielRebuiltIcon.png (so now there will be one entry on the page). The image page itself lists all of the articles that display the image -- which at this point includes every TR stub, since the TR icon is being displayed in the stub template. However, the what links here list will change significantly once we upgrade to MW1.14: pages displaying the image will be added to the list, you can select what types of links you want displayed, and you can select which namespaces you want to see. --Nephele^Talk 11:07, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

[edit] TR icon

You may have noticed that the TR icon in the corner of your user page was relocated during the upgrade. If you'd like, you can replace all the complicated code on your user page with the simpler code now being used by all the mod templates:

{{Page Icon|TamrielRebuiltIcon.png|Tamriel Rebuilt|Tes3Mod:Tamriel Rebuilt}}

That should put the icon back where it belongs -- although a hard refresh (ctrl-F5) of the page, too, might be necessary to force your browser to load the most up-to-date stylesheets. --Nephele^Talk 22:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

No, I didn't notice, I don't check my own user page that often. ;) Thanks for the pointer. --Gez 19:37, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Request

Would you mind removing the use of the ModName template from your Sandbox? It's a dead template now but shows up on the Wanted Templates list because of that one use... –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 21:01, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Done.

Meh, I was logged out. --Gez 21:06, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Superfast! Thanks :) –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 21:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
