Mass Improvements[edit]
I was looking through the Elder Scrolls articles and was surprised when I found that some of the worst articles included those with great potential: such as The Elder Scrolls or Tamriel. The Elder Scrolls should include a summary of the content of each of the games (with the spoiler warning) and a summary of the development of each game (a decent yet not good example of this would be Civilization (computer game)). Tamriel should be even easier, if you base the articles on the articles on real countries. eg. India which is FA, you can fill it in with information in the proper format. I don't have very much time to work on it, but I was wondering whether you would help improve these articles, perhaps as a long-term goal. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, will do. Good idea about basing the Tamriel article on other nation pages. Umlautbob 15:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's a good idea to read the books, but isn't there a website on the internet that contains the content of every single book in the games. I would think someone would go to the trouble to provide such a service. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, there is- The Imperial Library. I haven't quite worked out how to link external urls yet, but it's http://til.gamingsource.net/ Morgrim 09:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot[edit]
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 12:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
With regards to your comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shawn Hornbeck: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't agree that it was a personal attack, but I can see how it would be viewed as such in retrospect, and I do apologize. It was more an expression of frustration after having seen many worthy articles hit with nominations for deletion over a standard that is vague and subjective in the first place.Umlautbob 06:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
