Spammer
Hello,

I'm just repoting this anonymous user, http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.169.252.39, for spamming the forums. -Sophia (talk) 19:10, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Very late to the party, but thank you for the report! 04:02, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

InfoBox
Hey, I looked through the manual of style and can't find anything about this: are there guidelines set up regarding the infobox (or transformer box or whatever it's called) and how it should be laid out? I know there's a discussion going on about appearances, but I don't see anything about the order each of the fields should be in. For example, when I add in |notes does it matter where in the list I put it? Kelcat (talk) 16:30, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * No but it helps the (regular) editors when they edit a page to find the missing information, etc quickly. Similarly the categories of an article are listed in a specific order. All this stuff does not have any influence on the articles themselves so they cannot be part of the rules, but it's a good guideline which helps both you as well as other editors. 16:58, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * That makes sense that there's no formal guideline, but yeah, my thinking is that it helps to have some type of at least informal order. I'm assuming when the template was originally created that an order was set up there--is that available on the wiki anywhere? It would be nice to have, at least for my own reference because there have been a few times where I've duplicated the notes field because I didn't notice it was already in the list but not yet filled out. I like to be consistent with my own edits, but I've been pretty haphazard about this. Kelcat (talk) 17:05, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Template:CreatureTransformer, Template:ItemTransformer, Template:CharacterTransformer, are some of them. However keep in mind that most template documentations are not up-to-date. 17:10, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey Kelcat! As Viktoria suggests, the template pages themselves provide a good source of how fields should be organized, and if you're not sure if a field is already in the infobox CTRL + F is a lifesaver.  21:38, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * That works, thank you both for the help! Kelcat (talk) 21:43, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

Abusive troll
Hi! Reporting an abusive troll: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/206.47.94.81 -Sophia (talk) 21:06, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks Sophia!  21:38, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

Report of a threat
206.47.94.81 wrote a death threat to me and Evalunel. You can read it in his recent contributions.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 21:18, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to make it easier to find it, here. -- 21:29, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link! I'm so glad we have lots of editors looking out for editors and the wiki. The user has been blocked for a year and the comments deleted. 21:38, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, another... well, not threat but pretty rude comment was brought to my attention by FirstDrellSpectre. I'm leaving a message only here this time though. The comment is here. -- 15:08, December 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Glad to see that D-day has been on the job and taken care of it. 02:05, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

Wiki issue
Hello Loleil I hope you are having a good time during the holidays. In truth I cannot imagine how it is like in the southern hemisphere xD Anyway, I've contacted Tierrie about an important issue which comes up on my end as well as others, however he did not reply. Could you please take a look at it? Thanks! 00:52, December 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'm having a great holidays and it just wouldn't be the same without a nice warm Christmas day! Thanks for asking . Hope you're having a great holidays too.


 * As to your question, as I coding isn't my strong point, I've sent a friendly reminder to Tierrie so I'm sure he'll have the spoilers up and running again in no time. .  04:34, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I will try and remember to use the "one space" after sentences when making updates in these pages. I am used to using two spaces so it's second nature when I type but I will do my best.

As for getting Coarse Cut Gauntlets when you complete the Kadan-Fe contract for Ignacio in the Crime Wave quest, I am sure this reward is given for completing this contract. Every time I have played I have received this item in the chest after completing this contract. I am playing on the PC so I can't say if it happens on other platforms.

Thanks! --142.68.94.0 (talk) 14:23, December 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey. This message was probably directed to me. I'll add the quest in the gauntlets' acquisition paragraph then. And thanks for your timely responce! 15:07, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Use of Images in Forum Flame Wars
Can you please talk to First Drell Spectre about all these images they keep uploading which serve no purpose other than to be a bit of offhand symbolism for the latest forum flak exchange. It's really not an appropriate use of the image upload feature.- 02:26, January 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. 03:27, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Disused Passage
I wanted to ask also about this page, http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Disused_Passage?&cb=6329 I can't seem to get the icons and page layout to display properly? Do you have any idea how to fix it? I'd be grateful for any insight. - 02:28, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately that's one of the drawbacks of the iconmini template. If an image is placed too close to it, it won't display properly. Usually you can fix the issue by moving the image to the top or the bottom of the article and I believe that mostlyautumn is working on a more permanent solution too. 03:27, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Forum incivility
Hello,

I hope this isn't an inappropriate thing to report, and I'm sorry if it is. It is part of what seems an established pattern of behaviour that is aggravating: FirstDrellSpectre's comment here includes provocative claims about the user he is addressing. He has followed it by bumping several threads in an attempt to cause that topic to drop off the front page of the Wiki; something he has admitted to doing before. -Sophia (talk) 15:43, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention Sophia. It will be kept in mind in regards to any future actions. 04:25, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Semi-protection request
Hello Loleil! I'd like to request semi-protection on the Kossith article. The page's term is one of the most (if not the most) contested in the wiki and that can be noticed from the article's history as well as in several topics in the forums and even BSN.

As far as I know all the information from outside sources (WoT, BSN, etc) have been already added so the semi-protection won't have negative effects on the article's development. 08:19, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Given the history and contentious nature of the term, I have protected the page. 23:04, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Hello again! :) I'd also like to request semi-protection on Maevaris Tilani article. It seems the temporary full protection issued last September didn't stop further attempts. 15:56, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Protection now in place! 00:37, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Possible vandalism
Just a heads up that anons are yet again messing with gender and gender pronouns on Serendipity's page. Kelcat (talk) 00:39, January 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Given the history of the page, I think we have to assume it was intended as vandalism and I've protected the page. Thanks for keeping an eye on things. . 01:43, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Making way
Hey there! I'd like to ask you to delete the "Berserker", "Shadow" and "Duelist" pages in order to make way for the renames. Thanks! 10:08, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done.  19:20, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Might I suggest the same for the "Race" page? Yay! 17:05, January 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * You certainly may!  20:39, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Red links
Hey Loleil! Could you take a look at Forum:Red links maintenance? The actual important part is towards the bottom if you just want a quick overview (the rest is mostly discussion). 14:52, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looked at and commented on! 19:20, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Spoilers yea or nay
Do the quests for The Darkspawn Chronicles need spoilers on their pages? I added a spoiler tag to them when I created the majority of them, but now that I'm going through them again to proofread, I'm not sure if the spoiler warning should actually be there. Kelcat (talk) 00:41, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey! The wiki has generally operated on the idea that we use spoiler tags to protect readers from info they might not want to know about. In the case of walkthroughs, it's safe to assume that they do want to know about it, so the spoiler tags are good to go! Thanks again for all the great work you've been doing too.  00:46, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Cool beans--I'll get those fixed up, then. Thanks! Kelcat (talk) 05:04, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Page Rename
Hey! Per the discussion on Talk:The Dragon's Lair, this article should be renamed to Mountain Top, but as that page already exists as a redirect we require the assistance of an admin to rename it. Thanks! --Kelcat (talk) 21:11, January 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problems, I've gone ahead and moved the page for you. 00:37, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Hello,

Could you please rename Refugees to Abandoned Meadow, for the same reasons that applied to the Mountain Top page? -Sophia (talk) 20:11, January 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * And another one from me :D Ambassador Cera needs to be changed to Cera. Kelcat (talk) 07:50, January 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Taken care of.  20:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Tired of my requests yet? :D Elder Valendrian needs to be renamed to the existing Valendrian. Kelcat (talk) 01:37, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hehe not at all! It's done. 05:25, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate Forum Threads
Someone's going around posting really inappropriately named forum threads: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Lord_Bhelen_Dwarven_Prick?t=20140126231206 - 09:55, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

P.S Drell/StubbornSlayer/Whatever confusing name they're using now, is hitting forum threads left right and center. Not sure if they're trying to bump the threads down again but given the repeated infractions, I just thought I should mention it.- 11:54, January 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm the title is certainly on the border of what is acceptable, I will keep an eye on any future edits and thank you for letting me know about First Drell Spectre. 20:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Alphas Merge
It's been over a week and we seem to have reached a consensus so with your permission, I'd like to merge this article http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Alphas into the http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Darkspawn article. - 11:59, January 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Please go right ahead. 20:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Ok I've added the material. So now feel free to do whatever it is you admins do to articles swept up in mergers.- 14:03, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

Unification of Alamarri
Also it seems we've reached a consensus on the talk page for this article that it should be deleted. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Unification_of_Alamarri- 16:39, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Never mind, Henio has decided to weigh in after all and voted negative. The deadlock continues!- 17:13, January 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looking like it's quite the deadlock! 20:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Missing info tracking
Is there an easy way to find all of the articles with the tag on them? I thought it would be on the Site maintenance page but it isn't. Kelcat (talk) 05:05, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

And HD3 has saved the day :D :D Kelcat (talk) 05:09, January 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad he was able to help.  20:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Benevolent Spirit category
Demons are also spirits, but corrupted, so I think non-demons like Faith should have category Benevolent Spirit instead of simply Spirit.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 18:16, February 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think spirits adequately covers the topic myself. 19:51, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to report a vandalism
This page Nigel Simmons is nothing, but a spam.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 13:52, February 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the report. 19:51, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to report another act of vandalism http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Cassandra_Pentaghast?diff=556054&oldid=554829. FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 19:05, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Age wiki logos
Hey there! There are two identical wiki logos:
 * File:Wiki.png
 * File:NewLogo2.png

The first is lacking a license and is in an inappropriate category and the second is not sysop protected. Regardless, I think we should keep one of them and transfer all the links to the other. What do you think? 14:18, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

Vandal
This anon vandalized the Storm of the Century page. TheUnknown285 (talk) 06:40, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to report insult
I'd like to report that anon 103.14.60.36 insulted me on a blog. Here is this edition.

Various stuff
Hey Loleil! Here's some of the stuff that I told you about. I hope you're strong and well now! Thanks in advance! 03:17, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Darkspawn_lore?redirect=no - delete (can't add a for some reason)
 * http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Gertek - one link which leads to Project Genitivi
 * http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Bloodline - links which need fixing as well
 * User blog:Blizzard336/chat problems - red category on this blog
 * Forum:Tainted/possessed in character infobox - shall we add this discussion in the guidelines?
 * Forum:DA:Helping out - I need your help over here. Based on the discussion it seems this is approved, however I cannot pass the changes on my own.


 * Getting there! I am happy to take care of these for you and on a personal note, I would like to say that I was always impressed by your commitment and attention to detail. Hope to see you again soon. . 22:26, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

Just a heads up
As previously mentioned here FirstDrellSpectre seems to be at it again. When my forum "Call to all blood mages" was pushed down, I did a minor edit as a bit of a test to see if it would happen again. It did. so now for the third day in a row I see his name pushing down all the forum posts he seems to take issue with. I Have no real proof other then what I've seen, so I wanted to bring it to your attention. Hope the day is treating you fair, cheers! Warden Mage: Ferris (talk) 16:53, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * When I make new hilarious topics, it's natural that older ones disappear.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:17, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I find it suspect that you suddenly have this urge to create new topics (which you've only made 2 new topics the rest is you responding to posts from months ago) right when there's a few topics you don't agree with. To top that off with the fact that you've admitted before you do this to bury posts you deem unworthy.... AND this has been going on for 3 days now. So you just HAPPEN to want to talk about ALL the other topics except the ones that are pro mage? Warden Mage: Ferris (talk) 18:40, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can't forbid me creating new topics. There is nothing bad in trying to restore own topics like you restored your Calling Blood Mages. Everyone can say what thinks, even on last topic they want to talk about.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 19:01, March 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * There is something bad about creating new topics when you the old topics have run their course and you are only commenting on them to limit the conversation on topics you don't like. Please only comment on forum topics when you have a genuine point you wish to contribute to the discussion. 22:26, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

restraining order
Do you have something like "restraining order"? Because I have enough of an anon, who annoys me by his replies that make fun of me and tryings to put his words in my mouth, there are his last accounts. 112.200. as the beginnings of all those IPs are no coincidence. Additionally he accused EzzyD of racism.

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/112.200.0.60 http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/112.200.47.38 http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/112.200.0.211 http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/112.200.32.5

FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 06:21, March 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * We don't have a restraining order on the wiki. However, I agree with you that these IPs are likely the same person. I will contact them and ask them not to target you. However, again I would like you think about why so many editors have had negative reactions to your posts. 22:26, March 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know why I try to avoid giving them another reasons.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 06:24, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Series of agression
Here we have another one, his last comment was very inpolite. Nobopdy has right to call real people idiots here. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.54.218.77 FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 05:28, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

Here we have another example http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Thoughts_on_the_new_trailer%3F?diff=560059&oldid=560058 FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:27, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

 * I will leave another message, but in the mean time do not engage the other editor. 00:15, March 19, 2014 (UTC)

Heya :)
Just thought I'd drop by to say that it was fantastic hangin' out in Austin with you! You helped make the potentially nerve-racking prospect of a live event easy and fun. Please don't be a stranger. If you need help with any tech issues or design questions – though from the look of things here, you probably don't – just give me a shout! — CzechOut 16:10, March 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Right back at ya! It was a really great event and I'm totally ready for the rematch now . And thank you for the offer, always nice to know there's another editor out there to collaborate with. 22:26, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

Family and nation
I considered adding families instead of certain family members to pages of nations in section of natable people with origin of the described nation. For example in page of Ferelden replace characters like Alistair or Loghain or Bryce by families of Theirin, Mac Tir and Cousland. What do you think about that idea?FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 20:12, March 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * As it could cut down on the length of an article and family details should already be present in the main body of the article, I don't think it's a bad idea. 23:43, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

reliable sources
On blogs can be put unconfirmed or even fabricated informations about upcomming games. A blog about new detail of DAI appeared recently on the wikia. I suggest only admins to have right to put informations about the upcoming games or DLC, so no regular wikia contributor could fool everyone else again.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 18:15, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * As long as the information in a news article is properly sourced, I don't mind who adds it, but the admins are keeping an eye on the news sections and making sure the information is accurate and the blogs are well written. 21:45, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

German article
Anything you can possibly do about the unconfirmed info from the German article being added to all of the Inquisition pages every five minutes? Especially Dragon Age: Inquisition, Solas, and the once again deletion nominated Iron Bull page? There's a discussion going on on the Inquisition talk page; not sure if maybe semi-protection would be a good idea. Kelcat (talk) 20:40, March 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Given all the edits, I think a brief semi-protection is in order, and I've given my two cents on the DA:I talk page too. 21:45, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Page Merge
I was looking back through some old stuff and it looks like [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Walkthrough_(Origins)#Difference? once upon a time] I suggested merging Walkthrough (Origins) with Quests (Origins), as they were virtually the same, but I never put a merge tag on it. There were a couple of us in favor of it, though, so it would seem a good idea to go through with it. But I'm not sure how exactly to go about merging the two pages. I'd say that it would be best to keep the format that's on the Quests article as it's laid out better. Should I just make sure everything on the Walkthrough page is listed on that one and then nominate it for deletion? Or is there a different protocol for page merges?--Kelcat (talk) 04:43, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Rudeness

That's no coincidence that both IP have 112.200. FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 15:11, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

I have enough of him stalking me and responding to all I write, he doesn't respy to anyone more often than to me, because of him I feel stalked.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 08:04, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

As you see, that anon became more and more violent. I wish him to stop targeting me and responding to all I write.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 12:21, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

I see a person who is afraid of people who criticize him and his ideas.

Just as an aside, it also might be worth noting that that Drell comments repeatedly and voluminously on almost every single forum thread or news article, it's rather difficult to avoid responding to them in some capacity.
 * That's no reason to be violent to me.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 04:30, March 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Calling you a hypocrite (as in the example you posted which you claimed was violent) isn't an act of violence. Nor was I condoning or condemning anyone's comments about anything. I was only making the observation that it seems rather misleading to claim someone is stalking your posts (a confusing comment considering it is a public forum), when you spam every thread and news item. But regardless, I don't want to turn someone's talk page into an ad hoc forum debate.
 * It is an act of violance. I don't call anyone a hypocryte or idiot or anything else. You said that whining is a cliche and you whine on me, by your logic your own actions are cliche.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:39, March 31, 2014 (UTC)

You know what Drell you keep spinning everything that you look yourself a very innocent person in this wiki and make people who are against you look like a bully but in reality you are just the same to them. That is the why you are called a hypocrite and pointing your own hypocrisy is not an act of violence don't make exaggerations like that.122.54.218.77 (talk) 03:11, April 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * I am no bully, you are. I don't call others hypocrites, I don't target them, I don't remind them about cliches. So don't accuse me for things you do to me. You're the one with the problem, because you can't leave me alone willingly.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 04:20, April 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * You know why I always pointing you. You always whine the same thing. why don't just create an argument without making a complain or whining about Bioware or just leave the wiki alone? Don't act like a victim.
 * I am a victim of you and your attacks. So many complain on ME3 endings or that Gaider's comics were pointless, Algol complained that Arishok was a pompous clown, I am not different from them. I have right to show my opinion and you have no right to forbid anyone to not show it. You complain on my complaining, that action of yours doesn't make me complain less. There always is something that bothers someone, it'll never be a game that satisfies everyone in 100%.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 04:37, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

@Loleil, as you can see he responded to me, when I only explained that Gaider was interested in magic, not in darkspawn, I didn't write there I don't like Gaider or anything else and he said to me to not play DA and that Gaider won't leave Bioware. I wrote nothing about disliking him and he replied to me like I did. That's an expample of bothering me with no reason other than stalking. HE could replied on the previous wikia editor or write the text without "::", but he didn't.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 04:42, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

A word of advice, if want complain go directly to BSN. Its very pointless to complain to a wiki. I am not the only person who point out your behavior.124.106.115.211 (talk) 04:58, April 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * @Anon: It does appear that you are targeting FirstDrellSpectre and you are creating an atmosphere of negativity by the way you are replying. Please stay away from commenting on editors and stick to the topic at hand.


 * @FirstDrellSpctre: As I'm sure you've noticed, you've been involved in a very large number of conflicts over your time here at the wiki. While I can see that you've made an effort to tone down the language you use, you still have a way to go. You still come across as overly negative and dismissive of other people's opinions. If you are unable to address these issues, you will be subject to an indefinite blog comments and forums ban. If this is done, you would still be welcome to edit articles and discuss them on talk pages. 21:23, April 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I will just ignore Drell for now. Its get annoying to the wiki and its getting repetitive to talk to him.122.54.218.77 (talk) 03:45, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

New Topic
Hi Loleil, I wanted to thank you for merging the Alphas page. I appreciate that. - 04:52, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Also is there some other way we could converse other than the talk page? I wanted to discuss a project Idea I have with you without posting it all over the wiki - 05:48, April 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's no problem and feel free to shoot me an email . 21:23, April 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aye, that's what I tried to use but for some reason I keep getting an error message.- HD3_Sig.png 01:21, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Community Portal update
Hey Loleil! In my sandbox I have made several changes on the community portal however as I told you it's unfortunately not within my powers to update it on my own. Which means that I have to rely on you to make the final steps. Obviously, reviewing it one more time won't harm, in case you're interested. Cheers! 03:33, April 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also it'd be great if you could rename the "Divine Justinia V" by removing the title. Users can't do that, unfortunately. 23:58, April 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * KC did Justinia, however the "Archon Thalsian" page is also locked and requires your magic hands to be renamed :) 22:11, April 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update! By the way in your edit there is a small mistake in the "Wanted pages" section which I cannot correct it myself. 14:37, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Taken care of for you . 22:39, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

Message
Hi Loreleil, I hate doing this 'cus it is childish but heck you've got to be mean to kids sometimes... I think many of us are growing tired of reading FirstDrellSpecter comments in everything and not doing anything but saying that DA blows, I put forward that something has to be done with such a childish person or people will leave this wiki for good.--Dave The Maniac (talk) 19:40, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nobody forces you to read my comments, you can ignore them. A lot of players complain about romancable Cullen and express their hatred towards him. I don't like it, but I don't write to admins about it.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 19:58, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, it is difficult to ignore your comments Drell. They're everywhere. Not a single newspost or forum topic goes by without you posting prolifically on it. This is less about the content of the latest news post debacle and more about your ongoing patterns of behavior.
 * Fighting some bosses in DA games is also difficult, but players do it. Nobody is forced to read my comments, they all choose themselves to read them.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 05:51, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Isn't it nice to be on the receiving end of it, eh? I remember like it was yesterday when you yourself would report users left and right. I think I was "reported" by you, like, three times. Henio0 (talk) 06:04, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

 * Drell, you've changed a bit, but some others are still getting hurt by their disregard of their opinions. Constantly correcting them, or going for polarising views 24/7 can make them go away from this wiki for good. Drell mate, whats best for you man, i get along with you, please do the same with others.Lazare326 (talk) 07:47, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Proposed Reformed Quote Guidelines
Hi Loleil, that new project I mentioned to you a while back is up now. We're discussing a new set of guidelines to reform the quote section. I've included a link in case you'd like to voice an opinion.

Forum:Proposing changes to quotes guidelines - 02:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Pages for Deletion and Mergers
Hello! It looks like an agreement has been reached to delete the individual articles for obstacles during the main fade quest in Origins and merge the information into the main quest walkthrough. That's written up so we just need an admin to delete the left over pages. In order they are:


 * Fade Portal
 * Fire Barrier
 * Massive Door
 * Spirit Door

Also while we're on the subject of mergers, Symbol has been proposed for merger into Heraldry but the discussion doesn't seem to have been started or has been passed over by everyone.

There's a few other articles deletion has been agreed on for that need to be deleted also:
 * Wanka
 * Profane abomination
 * Jar of Bees
 * Solace

There's also about a dozen unneeded re-directs which need to be deleted.


 * Caged In Stone
 * Anders (Companion)
 * Hafter (Dog)
 * Taliesin

If you could take care of those and delete them, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you. - 13:26, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Weird pictures
Hey there, not sure if you could do anything about it or it's just a wiki problem that can't be solved locally, but some of the images are really off. They are bluried, somewhat zoomed in and kind of weird, for some it's with most pictures, for others it's with only a few. For example, on my end Leliana, Isabela, The Warden and The Inquisitor are kind of off, if you have a moment, could you take a look at them perhaps? -- 15:09, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Kossith Correction
Salutations, Loleil.

I wanted to put forth a correction as far as Dragon Age goes. Characters such as Iron Bull and Maraas who are Tal'vashoth should not have their race listed as Qunari as it is not a race. Their race is Kossith (which despite not being largely known, is still viable information that has not been lost in the lore). I assume you already know this, but for whatever reason this was done, I believe you would want this Wikia's information to be accurate (as I do) so I felt it best to bring it to your attention.

Thank you for your time.

Inquisition Spoiler
I know this has been discussed already but I think we should look into rolling this out as soon as possible. I mean there's already stuff coming out that could be construed as spoilers. Like the stuff about the Orlesian Civil War reaching peace talks. That should definitely be covered by a spoiler tag but we don't have one for inquisition yet. We can change the image on it later if that is holding it up. Personally I think the helm image we've got on the temporary template could work or maybe the hands with the rings or the sigil of the Inquisition with the red eye/sword. It probably wouldn't hurt to put the inquisition spoiler out quite shortly is all I am trying to convey.- 07:42, May 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I've gone ahead and created one, and we can update the quote and image as needed. 03:11, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks great! --Kelcat (talk) 03:30, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Loleil, much appreciated.-HD3_Sig.png 05:26, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Glad you guys approve.  21:08, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to chip in and also say it looks great! You're going to have to teach me how to create these sometime ;) 21:42, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thankfully Tierrie has done all the hard work, so all that's really required is some judicious copying and pasting of the pre-existing spoiler templates.  02:48, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

Chateau Haine Dungeons Map
Hey Loleil, I just thought I should mention, I re-uploaded the original map I posted for the Chateau Haine dungeons map. I know because the loading is weird for the zoning between the Dungeons and the Retreat the map shows on both zones, but the passage areas past the cells are actually part of The Retreat and not The Dungeons. Just thought I should explain is all in case there was any confusion.- 12:46, May 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. 21:08, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

Suspected New Sock Puppet
Hey Loleil. I think Drell has a new sock puppet at IP 78.8.7.101. Same writing style, same part of Poland, same language style and Drell's signature style of making decisions unilaterally then bringing the discussion up on a talk page. []

-


 * Yep, looks like a pretty clear cut case. That IP is now blocked. Thanks for the heads up. 21:08, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

New Idea
Hey Loleil, I wanted to run an idea by you. I'd wager that the little text excerpts appearing on the DA:I website with each new tidbit revealed are codex entries from the game but in the event they're not, It would kind of suck to lose their information once the site gets taken down like with the old BSN. In the event the text entries don't turn out to be in game codex entries, what do you think about copying them over to the wiki?- 05:32, May 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure! It whether we keep it through dedicated pages or incorporating it into articles, I think it would be a shame to lose them too. 19:51, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

E3 2014
I take it you'll be joining me at the EA Press Conference at E3? Cant wait to see what they got. See you on the 9th! - awyman13 23:00 May 30, 2014
 * I'm excited too and I'll look forward to meeting you there.  23:24, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion
I have notice that the spoiler templates mess up the flow of content on pages. May i suggest that the Clear template is implemented into the templates so as to fix this issue? -- 23:46, May 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello again and thanks for the suggestion! Having the spoiler pic appear inline with the text was a design decision, however. If the spoiler template was only ever going to be used for text it would make sense, but since it's often hiding pictures too, using clear isn't really practical as it can cause a lot of formatting issues. If you're interested in talking about the finer points of how the spoiler tags work, you might like to talk to their creator Tierrie. 00:22, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

E3 banner on the homepage
Hi Loleil. I was recently contaced by a member of Wikia staff who wanted permission to display this banner (which would link here) on the homepage for a week throughout E3. Personally, I'm fine with letting this go ahead but I just wanted to get your thoughts before I responded. 20:02, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for being so considerate King Cousland. I'm actually going to E3 with Wikia so I know they're super excited about Inquisition and there should be plenty of stuff on the hub about it. So I think adding a banner is a great idea. 01:25, June 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Excellent, glad we're in agreement Unrelated, but I saw your response to my proposal on Hawke's talk page and thought you might  want to chip in here and here as well. Enjoy E3!  18:05, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

E3
I am SO jealous of you going to E3. If you get a chance to talk to any of the bioware dev team, just tell them how much all of us here love Dragon Age and to keep up the great work. Also if there's an opportunity for super obscure lore questions, could you please ask them if Sophia Dryden is a theirin (by blood) because that always bugged me. Failing that, could you please ask them if they're going to be at San Diego Comic Con showing off DA.

Or don't do any of that. I'm not your boss.

Argh. So jealous of you. Well Done Loleil! - 11:05, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

You might want to adjust the countdown, because Last Flight's release date has been pushed back:

http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Age-Flight-Liane-Merciel/dp/0765337215/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402583860&sr=8-3&keywords=last+flight

So
How was your flight? Good abd short I presume. Im still at an airport :P -- 10:58, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Merges
Hey, Loleil! I think this might have gotten buried, so I figured I'd bring it up again. Basically, I think the Quests (Origins) and Walkthrough (Origins) should be boiled down to one article. I still think the "Quests" name is most appropriate, but either one that's chosen, the organization could use some work. The same issue occurs with Quests (Dragon Age II) and Walkthrough (Dragon Age II). In that case the info on the Quests article is definitely better organized, making the Walkthrough one obsolete. Input from you and help with possible merging would be greatly appreciated! --Kelcat (talk) 02:51, June 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep. I agree there's really no need for two such similar pages and given the proposal has been up so long, I will go ahead and make the change. 16:25, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

E3
Hey Loliel!

Just wanted to say thanks again for coming along with us to E3 and helping out. It was great getting to meet you all, and I hope you and the other admins had a good time! Please don't hesitate to hit me up if you or anyone else on the DA Wiki need anything in the future.

Cheers!

Plagiarism
Sorry about the recent incident in regards to the article, I'll have it changed pronto unless it has been changed. I wasn't familiar with such things, and was meant to attribute it, with commas, and a link, alas i failed, thanks for the warning though, much appreciated. Is there any other rules that I should be familiar with in regards to editing in general? Thanks, and I'll do my best to avoid such an error in the future. 23:21, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Testing something
Hey! A user brought this page to my attention, wondering where could the clean-up even start. So I asked him if I may experiment with how I could make it look better, and I'd like to ask you about the result. I made major and minor changes alike, but I didn't want to apply them before approval. So instead changing the article right away, I created a sandbox, checking out what the change might be like. For me the table seems to be a bit too wide compared to the rest of the content, not sure about on other people's side, if it really is messed up somehow, I'd like to know how can I fix it other than trying to shrink the names of each column. I'd appreciate any input so I could edit more efficiently in the future, and if you think it looks decent, I'd like to apply these changes to the original article. Thanks for any help in advance! -- 04:14, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, asked other people in the meantime, the table seems normal on their side, so it might be just some resolution issue on my side or something. -- 04:43, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep looking good from my side too! 19:16, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Image without uploading?
Something occured to me, I know there's an option for Youtube videos to be put in as template, so they wouldn't be "uploaded" to the wiki. I wonder if there's a similar option for images at all? I suspect a template would require a certain image uploader, but thought I'd ask nevertheless. -- 14:54, June 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do you mean like D-day does on her user page? If so then yes and you are correct that it only works for some sites. But given that we don't have much control over external hosting sites, we only allow people to display images like that on their user pages. If that's not what you meant let me know. 00:37, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

Info about Drakes
Hi! Apologies in advance for this being a rather trivial matter, but I don't feel comfortable with the following edits without an admin's blessing. On the the Drake page, there is a lot of repetitive information. On top of the page, the drake portion of the Codex Entry: Dragon is quoted. This information is repeated verbatim in the description section. Therefore, the same drake information is in two locations on the drake page, plus the codex entry page, PLUS the dragon page. I'd like to help out by at least cleaning up the drake page, but I wanted to run this by an admin first. Should I leave everything as-is? Take the quoted codex entry off the drake page (a link to the codex entry should suffice, right)? Something else? Thank you for your assistance; it's appreciated! --Death by Cheese (talk) 04:47, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
