Take a look?

Hey Elliot. I just tried to create a somewhat shorter (and less rambling) version of the 'limitations' section on the Thieves Guild page. My early-morning attempt can be seen here and I basically failed. :D
I'll have to go to work soon, so maybe you can take a quick look at the layout/wording and tweak it? Thanks! --Krusty 07:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I went ahead and tweaked it. It was kind of redundant, so I just removed the initial section. And the bold was too... well, bold to include entire sentences. Elliot (talk) 00:16, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Haha, yeah, the bold looked like crap. Much better now, though - I'll see if I can launch the new stuff over the weekend. Thanks for tweaking! --Krusty 09:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion Review

I've started a deletion review of the Oblivion:Creating an Awesome Character article given previous opposition to a prod. For the moment, I've copied the comment you used in the deletion tag onto the deletion review page, but feel free to replace it with a full argument when you have a chance. rpeh •T•C•E• 11:20, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I will get on it here sometime today. Elliot (talk) 15:27, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Datacaust

Please don't. A warning is of no use here. rpeh •T•C•E• 22:26, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I wish you wouldn't have just reverted my edit but rather discussed it with me. The post was 100% ill-intentioned and it was aimed at us "boys". And even if it was aimed at you, other members have the authority to put a warning on other people's pages. Whether you disagree or not, it should not be removed before any discussion has taken place. Elliot (talk) 22:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

I would think "ill-intentioned" comments fuelled by irritation or desperation at the deletion of one's work would be taken with a pinch of salt. I haven't been following the spell stacking discussions very closely, but that post doesn't seem worthy of an official warning, provocative as it is. (This is, of course, just my opinion, but I felt a need to add it due to the aforementioned absence of a discussion.) --Legoless 22:49, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

"Fueled by irritation or desperation" is no excuse to insult other members. Elliot (talk) 22:55, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Of course, but would giving Datacaust a flashy stop sign help diffuse the situation or discourage him from making another insult? It would likely rile him up further - putting salt on the wound. --Legoless 23:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

That is true for any situation. So by that logic, we shouldn't warn members at all. Elliot (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, I've said all I wanted to say, so I'll leave it on that note. --Legoless 23:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Please chill

If somebody disagrees with you it doesn't mean they hate you or anything like that. Let's try to go through 24 hours with no drama, please. rpeh •T•C•E• 00:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm cool, calm, and collected. I was just floored by a revert stating "I added it for a reason". Yes, and I removed it for a reason... It doesn't matter anyway, I'm getting off of here for the night. Also, I don't think I am the one who gets flustered when controversy arises. (It's not you, either.) Elliot (talk) 00:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
