[edit] Welcome

Wow! How can you still not have anything on your user talk page? Seems to me like it's time for a long overdue welcome to UESPWiki! And you can take it as a good sign that I haven't bugged you on your talk page until now: unfortunately most of my welcome messages are needed to point out mistakes that editors have made. In other words, you've just been doing such a good job at not making any mistakes that I haven't had any excuses to welcome you. So keep up the great work! And you already know how to contact me if you have any questions :)

By the way, if you're still interested in tackling some books, you might have noticed that I'm finally getting around to my long-promised reorganization project. Of course that was probably so long ago that you've lost interest by now ;) --Nephele^Talk 03:51, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Yay, my first Talk page submission! :P Yeah, from what you said, I thought that was a little ambitious of a project for my editing skills. I also tend to lose interest in things quickly, so something where I sit down for a few hours and do loads of work is no problem (like the Daedric Shrine dialogue)...something that would stretch over weeks is probably likely to end up on the long list of "projects started but incomplete due to ADD". Or, at least it WOULD end up on that list if I had the attention span to make such a list in the first place. :) --Robin Hood 12:15, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Easter Eggs

Thanks for the message. I though nobody was going to talk to me. Michaeldsuarez (talk· contribs· email) 19:27, 21 February 2008 (EST)

• Thanks. I'll be sure about changing my userbox. Michaeldsuarez (talk· contribs· email) 07:19, 24 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] I get it.

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288619, or something like it? I've found other fun ways of using the number, myself:

Sir I bear a rhyme excelling

In mystic force and magic spelling... ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Muthsera (talk • contribs).}

The third-last digit is wrong (should be a 4), but yeah, you're on the right track. ;) No, I didn't have to look that up...I'll let you keep guessing as to how many digits I know it to. Suffice to say it's a stupidly large number for any practical calculations, but nowhere near what I've heard some people have memorized it to. --Robin Hood 13:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

Ack, and I forgot to sign! How embarrassing. But I just gave you what I keep in my head, though now I need to remember that that 6 is a 4. Anyway, I see you're also a newly declared Mentor? Well, well. Aren't we indulging in our pride today? Muthsera 13:41, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

LOL! Yeah, I figured I'd been around the block enough times I should probably be nice and help others. What's more, I'm not only declaring myself a new mentor and updating my profile a bit, I'm finally getting around to changing my signature to boot. This'll be my first test to see if it actually works as it should. It's amazing what you can get done when your boss has you re-generating several hundred reports, effectively tying up your work computer. ;) --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 13:49, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

I applaud the new signature, it seems spiffy and dandy. Muthsera 13:56, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

You have been given a pi! In celebration of 3/14, someone's baked a pi to give you! Aren't you lucky? Keep up the good work, and happy Pi-day! -- Muthsera 10:44, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

LOL! Thanks Muthsera, this really made my day! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 12:00, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Was wondering if anyone's made your day for today. Hey, Robin, how're you doing? Muthsera 15:39, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Is there something special about 04/22? (Or 22/04?) Anyway, no, nobody's made my day today. :) I'm doing okay, how're you? --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:34, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Naw, just saw you make an edit, so I decided to pop in for a hello. I'm decent. Haven't killed anyone today, you know? Muthsera 12:58, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

LOL! Yeah, there's days when I consider it a good day because I didn't kill anyone too! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 13:13, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Drain vs Damage vs Absorb

Thanks for looking at this, I'm glad you liked the writup. I'm guessing I should try posting it again? I wasn't sure about making the bullets complete sentences, frequently on things like resumes you can make bullets incomplete statements, and then leave the period off the end, but if the site has an informal policy about that, I'll be sure to conform. Is maintaining the content here a full time job for you? I feel like it really could be, there's so much content!

I've made the update. I changed a few more things including changing "affect" to "effect" in some places, changing "affect" to "involve" in some places, rewriting the "four important ways" section at the top, and making the corrections you suggested. Thanks again for your help.

I'm still the new kid on the block, but as a general rule, if a prolific editor approves of a change, it'll usually stay that way. If Nephele or one of the other editors feels strongly about not letting it go through, we'll use the talk pages to figure out what we want to do with it. So no guarantees that it'll stay, but as I said in my post on Nephele's talk page, I think it's much better overall than what was there.

Oh and signing your posts "officially" involves clicking on the "signature" button (second from the right). People forget all the time, including myself, but since you've had a couple of unsigned posts now, I thought I'd mention it. As a rule, you're expected to sign any message you leave on a talk (aka discussion) page, but not on a main page. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 12:08, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Robin Hood

Thanks for the information, I didn't realize about signing, I'm very new to Wikis and Blogging. It seems strange that people wouldn't be expected to sign on a main page, but would on a talk page.

By the way, I noticed on your profile it says that you have chronic fatigue. My sister was diagnosed with chronic fatigue 5 years ago, and two years ago it had gotten really bad, and nothing she had tried had worked, so she decided to try acupuncture. She started at two sessions per week and at first the symptoms would go away and she would feel better for a small amount of time after the acupuncture session, but the affects are cumulative and as the weeks and the sessions progressed the chronic fatigue symptoms stayed away longer and longer. She went to having acupuncture sessions once per week, then once every other week, then once per month, and now only a few times per year, and her symptoms stay away for months in between sessions. --Matt (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) March 12, 2008 4:10 PM (ET)

[edit] Happy Birthday!

GuildKnight says Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day! --GuildKnightTalk2me 17:51, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Happy Birthday, Sir Robin!, Oh brave Sir Robin... --Benould^•T•C 18:02, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Thank you both for your birthday wishes! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 23:46, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Watcher's Eye

Thanks, Nephele! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 13:08, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] PGE

I caught up with you, I did he Foreword to High Rock, Rpeh is transcribing the Orsinium article. Would you mind if I edit your PGE page, so we have a central place linking to all transcribed articles? Cheers, Benould^•T•C 15:07, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
