Welcome[edit]

References[edit]

Good evening! When you add information to the bestiary, would you mind including citations so our readers can see the evidence supporting our claims? I appreciate all the work you've been doing in the bestiary, but I've noticed that a few of your recent revisions lacked citations supporting the information being presented.


Thanks again for all the hard work you've put into the bestiary! It's good to see that more people are diligently documenting Tamriel's critters. -MolagBallet (talk) 23:50, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Advice[edit]

Hello and welcome to UESPWiki! Thanks for your interest in the wiki; however, you seem to have been making multiple edits to a page by not using the show preview button, clogging up the Recent Changes in the process. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but keep in mind that each edit needs to be patrolled, so multiple consecutive edits create an unnecessary hassle on those who patrol. So please utilize this feature! You may also want to look over our style guide and Getting Started guide. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. —⁠Legoless (talk) 18:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Tarponpet, just another reminder to please make use of the show preview button rather than making multiple consecutive minor edits with no edit summaries. Each of these edits need to be patrolled individually. —⁠Legoless (talk) 15:13, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Stop hand.svg This is an official warning for continuing to make multiple small edits without using show preview. Please take the above advice on board when making further edits to wiki articles. Your edits to Lore:Bestiary pages are constructive, but they are causing disruption to the site by the sheer volume of minor edits with no edit summaries explaining what has been changed. —⁠Legoless (talk) 15:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

() Just another reminder to please use Show Preview. You made 43 separate revisions to Lore:Troll today and each of these has to be gone through manually by a patroller. —⁠Legoless (talk) 12:12, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Since I posted the above message, you have made another 21 small edits to Lore:Troll. Please make these changes in one single edit when possible as this behaviour is disruptive to the wiki. —⁠Legoless (talk) 08:28, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Userpatroller[edit]

Hi Tarponpet. I'd like to promote you to a Userpatroller on the wiki. You can read more about it on the page I linked. All this promotion requires is for you to accept or decline it, and I can grant it immediately.

This is the first step toward becoming a patroller on the wiki if you're thinking about moving toward that. You will see red exclamation points on User: and User talk: pages only, and you can help our team of patrollers check those edits off as good. Even if you are not very interested in that aspect, it's a good way to have your own userspace edits autopatrolled.

For only really becoming active last March, you've made a great many contributions to our Lore namespace. Even if you don't like the idea of patrolling, I think this role would suit you until we were ready to give you Autopatrolled status, since you do a lot of your work in your sandboxes first. (By the way, this is appreciated. Sandbox work is a good way to do major revamps without affecting the readability of a page in the meantime.) We already know your sandbox edits are fine, so just autopatrolling those will be a benefit. However, I'd like to see you move toward patroller eventually if you're interested. Usually users are active for over a year, first, but you're making progress learning UESP's ways of doing things. —Dillonn241 (talk) 02:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I accept the promotion, thank you very much. I would be interested in moving towards patroller. — Tarponpet (talk) 11:12 PM, 25 January 2024 (EST)
Rights granted! Welcome to the team. You will want to add the {{User Userspace Patroller}} userbox to your user page to identify yourself in this role and add yourself to the userpatroller category. —Dillonn241 (talk) 04:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Tu'whacca and Satakal[edit]

If something isn't sourced it shouldn't be on the page. I agree that the image is most likely Tu'whacca. But being likely isn't good enough we need confirmation from Zenimax before we make that claim. And I don't agree the other image is Satakal at all. Everything on these articles need to be sourced.

Please take this to the Lore pages talk pages instead of my user page, that way we can reach a consensus as the Moderation requires. Apologies though, will have a response tomorrow.Tarponpet (talk) 02:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Concerning Lore articles written in past and present tense[edit]

Hello. So what you're saying is Skyrim lore articles are to be written in present tense due to it being the latest game set in the latest era until further notice? --KevinM(talk) 23:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

It depends on the context of the characters in-game state and potential fate but kinda. Maybe not for certain mortal characters but for things like durneveir, serana, or elves should maybe be present tesnse. Tarponpet (talk) 23:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Re: Some advice[edit]

Thank you for your feedback and insights; I'll make sure to take these nuances into account moving forward. I would also like to clarify that I know not every character is eligible for a Lore article. Have a nice day --KevinM(talk) 05:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
