WelcomeEdit

Hello Robsyourhouse! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's always good to have new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:

• Policies and Guidelines: UESPWiki standards and expectations
• Help Contents: a list of in-depth Help pages
• Quick Editing Guide: a quick guide to wiki markup
• Getting Started: how you can help
• Uploading Images: Guidelines on image standardization

If you would like to spice up your userpage, click here for a list of userboxes you can use, including a guide to making your own.

When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!).

Please consider supporting the UESP elsewhere on the web:

• Facebook: our official Facebook page.
• Tumblr: our official Tumblr blog.
• Twitter: our official Twitter account.
• YouTube: our official YouTube channel.

Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox. If you would like to discuss the games or lore, consider checking out our blog, our Discord, or the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Lastly, thanks once again for joining the UESPWiki, have fun! —Dillonn241 (talk) 21:39, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit WarringEdit

Please do not continue to revert another editor's reversion of an edit, as you did on Oblivion:City-Swimmer. This is edit warring and it's both disruptive to the site and goes against the idea of consensus. You should discuss the change on the talk page first. In this case, I decided not to give a warning because it was your first edit and Silencer suggested that the next revert (which can't happen now because I protected the page) would result in a warning.

(To be clear, this is not an official warning, but advice to avoid one in the future.) —Dillonn241 (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

I find it interesting that I was the clear culprit of the edit war when Silencer seemed to partake just as much as I did, especially since you seemed to agree with Silencer's revert to begin with. Nevertheless, I'll be more than happy to follow protocol with any further disputes regarding character pronoun usage and compulsory cisgenderism. Robsyourhouse (talk) 21:59, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

It's because you were the one inserting speculative/incorrect information and you did not bring it to the talk page when asked, whereas Silencer did. For example, if an editor were to claim that City-Swimmer traveled to Bruma every month, it should be fine for someone to always revert back to the correct original text, but not okay for the original editor to continue adding the false info. There is no "compulsory cisgenderism" by the way. For example, look at some of the characters in ESO's House of Reveries. —Dillonn241 (talk) 02:03, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I don't think Dillon meant to make you out as the "culprit" so much as he was just making sure that you were aware of wiki policy on these things, since you're new here. We already know that Silencer is aware, since he'd been around the wiki for many years. That said, technically speaking, you were both in the wrong, and either of you could and should have taken it to the Administrator Noticeboard once the third reversion had happened. As outlined on Wikipedia's policy about edit warring, however, our primary objective is to stop an active edit war, which has now been done, so I don't think any further actions are required. The discussion is now happening on the talk page, which is appropriate. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 02:08, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
