New Users

There might be a faster, easier way, but I just check for new users on the recent changes page. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk)/(Contribs)} 20:19, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for telling me Puddle 00:44 April 11,2008

You're welcome! --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk)/(Contribs)} 20:48, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Your User Page

I just noticed a load of posts on your user page and was about to revert them (user pages are usually considered inviolable) when I saw the note you had made asking for auditions. Are you sure this is what you want? It's more usual to ask people to post on your talk page. It's not a problem either way but I thought I'd ask. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:58, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Thank you for your concern, but I'd rether have it on my User page, my talk page is rarely graced, more people would put their name on if it was on my user page I think. Thanks again.-Puddle 15:40 April 11, 2008

The Holy Super-Mega-God Project-On X-Box

Wow that sounds kinda like what Hitler wanted to do except he tried to do it in real life. — Unsigned comment by Imperial Scum (talk • contribs)

Wait... If Hitler turned into godzilla then maybe It would be a copy of what he did. Puddle 23:00 April 11,2008

Prank

Hello,

I just wanted to say that Dagoth got that box idea from my user page. Yes, it's a prank, but it's allowed if only used on userpages. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 19:41, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Ok, I was just enforcing Uespwiki rules, I wasn't mad. Puddle 23:56 April 11, 2008

Not a problem. It even shows that you've read and respected the rules! - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 20:06, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

Screenshots

Sorry, but I only have Morrowind and Oblivion on the Xbox, so I don't know for sure. Try searching for a folder called "Oblivion (or Morrowind) Screenshots." It's most likely in a "My Pictures" folder or the "Oblivion (or Morrowind)" folder. Try asking someone who plays either game on a computer. --Michaeldsuarez ^{(Talk)/(Contribs)} 06:44, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Screenshots appear in the game's program folder. So "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion" in my case (64-bit Vista). In both games, to take screenshots you need to enable the feature. See Help:Images for more information. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 07:01, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

I'm on a 32-bit vista, but when I change the setting and save it it tells me "Cannot create the C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Oblivion_default.ini file. Please make sure path and file name are correct." even when I try to replace the file with the new version. Puddle 18:50 April 13, 2008

Back to Patriots

Wow, lots of people, now im pressured lol, I'm afraid I'm going to stop taking people, I haven't written fanfiction before, and don't want too many people, maybe next time.

I decided to move it from My User Page to here-Puddle 11:29, 10 May 2008 (EDT) 16:02 19, April 2008.

I am NOT block'd, Puddel. There is no reason to put <s></s> tags on me. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 21:44, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Dagoth, please do not harass another editor over his choices about how to write his fiction. Puddle is free to come up with whatever rules he wants, including a rule that "if you have been blocked" you are not eligible. He is writing this fiction because he wants to, according to his own preferences, so you have absolutely no right to make demands on him about what characters he includes. If you really want to pursue this, I'd be quite happy to have a reason to block you, in which case you won't qualify even by your own interpretation of the rules. Stop harassing UESPWiki's editors. --Nephele^Talk 22:14, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

If you keep trolling and discriminating me, TheRealLurlock will be forced to block you for 12 months under the Blocking Policy. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 22:07, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Given your fine understanding of our blocking policy, Dagoth, it should come as no suprise that your false accusations and pointless threats have led to you being blocked yet again. --Nephele^Talk 22:40, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Assume good faith

Hi, regarding the recent revert you made, you may want to look over the assume good faith article before issuing an official warning. I replaced the warning with a welcome and advice note in this case, just something you might want to take note of. --Volanaro 16:02, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks, Volanaro, for pointing that out. And just to add a bit more: you should also probably read up on Vandalism. Disrupting a link does not automatically mean that the edit was vandalism; if that were the case I would be guilty of vandalizing the wiki countless times when I've messed up links on articles. Vandalism is not judged by the result of the edit, but by the intent behind the edit. Only when you can be completely sure that the editor was intentionally trying to damage an article can the edit be called vandalism. --Nephele^Talk 16:15, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Check recent edits please

Nephele has some comments for you XD --Benould^•T•C 18:59, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

Wow, no need for CAPITAL letters,I'm sorry, I was following the path of the footers...-Puddle 11:29, 10 May 2008 (EDT) 23:08 April 20. (GMT)

A Guide to the Shivering Isles

I know its bad, it really isn't meant to be good. There is a sentence in there, I want to see how well I hid it. (Not Very Well I bet) I'll put the character of whoever figures the sentence out first in a Main role for Patriots however, & once again, Its poetic property is NOT the main point of the story.--Puddle 19:53 April 22, 2008. (EDT)

I've worked out the secret message. It's reasonably well hidden, but isn't so hard to find that searching for it becomes boring. And as you have mentioned, the quality of the poetry is not brilliant (no offence intended). Anyway, the concept in itself is excellent. --HMSVictory^Talk 15:56, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

1. 1 Me no-no goodie at da Limerick (& I'm Irish, odd isn't it?)
2. 2 It is kind of hard to find something that rhymes with each of the oddly named cities (Highcross was origonally ok.)
3. 3 Trying to sound like an amatuer poet who finds the secrets to brilliance before he goes crazy & becomes a madman dosen't sound very poetic does it? hehe.-Puddle 11:30, 10 May 2008 (EDT) 20:08 April 22, 2008. (GMT) Thanks for the concept bit, Thats all I concentrated on actually! I'm thinking about linking these into a collection of different topics, different poetry styles (ones I'm better at) until it is a full message containing another message (The Alliance of Point Making Brilliant Poets (& The Rookie).

A Vitharn Obituary

Yet another Shivering Isles Potry piece, with yet another secret pertaining to the story itself. I hope my poetry is getting better! LoL. Puddle 23:59 April 22, 2008 (GMT).

Has anyone found the secret yet?--Puddle 18:06, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Template:Navimg

Hello,

Looking at your userpage, I figured that the Navimg template might be of interest to you. It allows a picture to become a link, so you could have:

That's all folks! - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 05:34, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks! But I don't know If i'm gonna use it, I like it the way it is.-Puddle 18:00, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Actually, I will use it, thanks again!-Puddle 09:58, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Ugh, It won't work, the Images are registering as different sizes, they're just too distorted.-Puddle 11:27, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

sig fix

Before anyone starts, I'm sorry about the recent signature fix, I proposed my page for deletion, and my signature carried htat with it, so I was removing the template from pages. Again, I'm sorry.-Puddle 11:50, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Unfortunately there are still quite a few pages that use your signature template, as listed here. The template really shouldn't be deleted until there are no pages that link to it. --Nephele^Talk 13:22, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Okay all pages have been updated, delete away! -Puddle 19:33, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

Patriots

ITS DONE! Finally! Sorry it took so long, I've been to busy to write it. But, it is completed! I won't write anything until the summer, except for maybe the Shivering Isles fan-fiction collection. Again IT'S DONE!!!!!-Puddle 13:08, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Congratulations, now I just need to read it. Probably will do tonight. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 13:11, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Also feel free to fix any problems, as I know a few parts are a bit "rushy".-Puddle 13:13, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Question?

It tells me that you replyed or something. I'm not sure what you posted but all it says is this.

Oblivion:The Ultimate Heist‎; 02:01 . . (-71) . . Puddle (Talk | contribs) (→Bugs - fixing last entry)

I don't understand because I'm new here.— Unsigned comment by George (talk • contribs)

No, I did not reply to the talk page. You must have been watching the page instead of its talk page. However, what I did was move a new entry, denoted with an asterisk, and fixed it to be a branch from a main asterisk, however if you had a question about the quest I will try to answer it. I haven't done the quest, but If there is bug I can probably find a fix.-Puddle 13:47, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

Tamriel Books

Puddle, could you update the UESPWiki:Task_List#Tamriel please? I know you did a lot of the books, in varying degree, keep up the good work. What is left to do there?--Benould^•T•C 14:38, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

Sorry to be so blunt, but I didn't do any books... I will do some if you want, but I didn't do any. What exactly are you referring to?-Puddle 06:15, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Heh, I thought you did that task a few weeks back, sorry about that. I was going through the task list and wanted to clean up what is already done. Perhaps we'll wait until Nephele comes back, to be sure what still needs fixing. --Benould^•T•C 07:17, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Oh, no the only other task I've done is the Shivering:NPCs task. Yeah, I don't even know how to do book formatting.-Puddle 16:28, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

I clearly was confused, perhaps since you were my partner-in-crime for the Tamriel places transform ;). If you're itching for something to do in the Tamriel namespace, Tamriel People A-Z could use a hand. Many important figures only have a line entry and redirect, they need to have their own page, and full articles, like I just did with Tamriel:Tiber Septim. --Benould^•T•C 17:36, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Sorry you had to wait so long for a reply, I've been busy. Anyways, that sounds like a great idea, thanks!-Puddle 21:11, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

The Old Way

Hi, the old way page used to have the statement "Entered from The Palace Sewers and thus inaccessible except during the related quest", I changed it to "Entered from The Palace Sewers and thus inaccessible before the related quest" after having checked: I completed the Ultimate Heist a while back, and have visited the old way since, so "during the related quest" and "unless the related quest is active" which you have changed it to are both incorrect. I stated on the talk page (in answer to an anonymous question) that this was the case before editing the page. Any chance we can agree to revert your change? Bonsai nine 02:54, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Sure, you can revert, It isn't actually my concern if you do. Never be afraid to revert something if you have found it incorrect, or if it is misinforming.-Puddle 13:36, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

P.S., sorry for not clarifying, but the change left me confused, I know understand what you were trying to say. Maybe, It can only be accesed after the related quest has been activated.-Puddle 13:39, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

This has been verified and I've reverted it to Bonsai nine's version. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:01, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

Like I said, just a simple misunderstanding.Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 18:15, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

Redirections

Thank you, I'll remember to redirect to the main subject of the page only. Sadron 22:21, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

Uhm... No I meant don't create pages for sections of forts or ruins, linking to sections of articles is fine.-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 06:26, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

Wiki Code

Hey Puddle, this is TexasWatermelon. I'm kind of new to this whole editing process, and I noticed from your userpage that you seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the Wiki code. I wanted to know if you'd help me out with things like changing font styles, sizes and colors so I can put the finishing touches on my own userpage. If you could give me some tips, that would be fantastic. Thanks, TexasWatermelon 01:33, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

No problem, what did you have in mind?-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 06:17, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

Well I've figured out the color code I think, but I'd like to know how to change the type's size and font (other than just going big or small). That'd probably be a good place to start. TexasWatermelon ^{Sit and chat by the TexasWatermelon Patch} 06:48, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

OK, here is a basic code for doing so,

<font face="(font)" color="(named color or #)" size="+(number of size)"><center>(Your Text Goes here)</center></font>

So by changing a few settings, I can create,

<font face="Times New Roman" color="Blue" size="+5"><center>(Your Text Goes here)</center></font>

Which will look like:

(Your Text Goes here)

You can copy these settings if you want (If you do it in edit don't copy the nowiki tags) and use them on your page, now do you have anything else in mind?-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 07:21, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

No I think I'm actually good for now. That's fantastic, thanks for your help :D TexasWatermelon ^{Sit and chat by the TexasWatermelon Patch} 07:40, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

Okay, no problem, I'm happy to help!-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 11:51, 1 July 2008 (EDT)
