Please leave me messages below. Happy trails!

Den Residential
That patch is not related to Killap, it's an official Fallout 2 patch, you can see right here. Den Residential should be included on the wiki. Why did you archive your talkpage? It doesn't have 40 post or 32 kb of talkpage content. Jspoel  11:18, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Broken file links
What does it matter, me or your bot removing those broken file links. They show up in a maintenance category, and their purpose it to be as empty as possible. Just make your bot remove them then. Jspoel  11:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That no editing userpage other than yourself policy should be altered in my opinion. If it's in a maintenance category admins should be allowed to solve it. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 12:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Placeholder
Can you remove the videos and images from pages that have placeholder images with your bot? See https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/File:Placeholder. That removes them from the wanted images and uncategorized images list. Sometimes the pages have two types, video and image. (User:119.160.66.210/FALLOUT 4 CONSOLE COMMAND LIST).

Deleting
I would like a link to whatever new rules that went up since I stopped being active. I wish to learn why my personal pages are being deleted.--Ant2242 (talk) 02:40, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

I would like a specific link. As I seem to be missing the exact policy. As for the pages being "Duplicates" they are not. If you re-add them you can see. Especially the pages about Curie III and Gerard.--Ant2242 (talk) 03:41, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Changes: User:Daddyattitude/Sandbox
1st, thank you for your time. Next: I have no idea about the sandbox link you changed on my sandbox. This was something I did about 2 years ago and do not recall what I was attempting at the time. If the link broke, it is due to the site changing locations from old to new location(s) and I wasn't aware of it. As for create a page? I was not attempting to create a page. 

BOS hierarchy
In the Lyons model on the BOS hierarchy page, it splits into two branches when really they should connected under elder (the head scribe is subordinate to them). For me, scratching a chalkboard would be a suitable alternative to trying to tackle that tree format, so I hope you can do it, thanks. Branebriar1930 (talk) 11:39, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Branebriar1930 (talk) 12:54, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Rights
Hey, I wanted to reach out to clarify. A few people have approached me asking about my resignation. I have not resigned, so if you wouldn't mind undoing that, I'd appreciate it. As you suggested, if/when I resign, I'll leave a talk page message about it to avoid any confusion or drama. Thanks!  intrepid359 10/21/21 [2:03pm]

Inactive Staff Rights
Greetings,

I came by to ask why you recently revoked the rights from dozens of inactive staff members without leaving a talk page notice. It has come to my attention that the current reigning policy is that staff members cannot lose their rights solely due to inactivity without a vote. A history of the inactivity policy follows, in case it might be of importance to you: From what I can tell, that is the latest vote on the matter, meaning that current Nukapedia policy is that inactive staff members can only lose their rights through a motion of no confidence or vote of reconfirmation. Note that I personally did not read through them further than briefly skimming the results, they were simply provided to me by another user. You are of course free to draft a mass reconfirmation forum for all the users you believe are considered "inactive," which could simply be a brief introduction stating the purpose of the vote and how they are all for the same reason: inactivity. Then just go down the line adding sections with yes/no votes for every staff member. At the same time, though, you should leave a talk page message on all those staff members whose rights are up for reconfirmation out of courtesy.
 * Discussion from Oct. 2012
 * Vote from Oct. 2012 following prior discussion. Implemented policy revoking rights after inactivity period
 * Edit from Oct. 2012 codifying prior vote.
 * Discussion from Apr. 2014
 * Vote from May 2014 following prior discussion. Repealed inactivity policy instated earlier
 * Edit from May 2014 officially repealing policy

For what it's worth, I agree with the practice of revoking rights after a period of inactivity, but I think an official forum discussion and vote must be held before an active bureaucrat can remove rights without community input in the form of a reconfirmation vote. The biggest issue would be determining the best way to define "inactive." Regardless of whether such a policy is reinstated, the inactive staff members should always receive a talk page message before they lose their rights, notifying them of the possibility of rights removal and allowing them to return to activity or have their own say in the matter. - Sigmund Fraud Talk   Contributions  02:04, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Re: Is it just you?
Hello, just responding to your message over on my TP. I appreciate the concern, but I'm sorry, I'm confused. Which part has you worried? It must be the quote I put in there from Neil. I was just adding a quite anti-predictive quote from the aforementioned character that pertains to some things I've noticed in the ways of life. However, I feel your concern is not with my Fallout: New Vegas quote addition on my profile, so let me give you a quandary to ponder. Over-thinking and over-analyzing separates the body from the mind. A great example of this would be watching someone closely (for whatever reason, even getting others as eyes as well) without any real proof of wrongdoing or malice. Sort of like walking into a very nice store with a thousand dollars in your wallet to spend on anything you want, but the manager sees you and doesn't like how your hat is turned to one side or the fact that you wear one color over wearing another (blah blah blah, so on). So, they have security follow you wherever you go. And you know what the worst part is? This store has the only thing you want for miles around (a blank slate, a special paper to write on, an digital handheld encyclopedia that you can help advance knowledge on). But, for sake of conflict (and pride on the manager's part), you leave. You know that all the problems that could come from simply being to close to the thing you want, so you depart. But back to the "overthinking and overanalyzing part" of this public form of "messaging" we call TPs. As you can see, I have CLEARLY overthought and, very much so, overanalyzed the situation that started as as a simple observation of mere quotes of things I have said on other "public gathering spaces". The reason I bring this all up is because based off of my own observations. And to me, it seems you may have over-thought, and very much so, over-analyzed small snippet quotes of detailing MY disgust for most of the Nukapedia + The Vault administration. But that's not what we are talking about. We were talking about your worry of my well-being. Well, Kdarrow, I am quite well. Thank you for your concern. How considerate.

Anyways, sorry to keep your eyes open with this message or keep you away from very important wiki matters. I hope all is well. I personally see no need for a response to this message of mine or to have any other need to contact me unless it concerns something I have done regarding my edits, my discussions, or my presence in the NP Discord since the creation of this account.

Sincerely, Cole.

P.S. - Belated Congrats on the "Overseer" vanity title. I didn't know vanity titles were a thing now. A word of caution, strictly from a Fallout point of view. Overseers never seem to last too long. Look at Jacoren or the Overseers of Vault 11 (such as Kate Stone). Heck, Vault 22 lost six consecutive overseers to a single man.

That's why no one will remember your name... 04:48, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Restore
Isn't needed. I'm aware that you can't trust the unused files page anymore, but I've checked all of these files if they were actually used on a page by looking at their filename and make a null-edit on the page they are on. That restores the use on the unused files special page. When the name wasn't clear I went to the history of when it was uploaded by the user and close to that edit is mostly the page they placed it on. So all is covered. I still like to do some maintenance and as far as I can see there aren't related wanted images so all must be good. Jspoel  10:58, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Icons
Hey there, although I appreciate the reach out, I am not happy with the way this matter has been approached. If my changes caused issues then yes they should have been reverted, but with a reason given so I knew why they reverted. Instead rollback was used, which really should only be used in the case of vandalism, but I can see why it may have been done. The code changes I made were a refactoring of the existing code I wrote for the module and I also rigorously tested them, so I'm sure you can understand why being told to speak to your expert about my original and new code would be a little irritating. The only thing I can envision being broken is the class addition made by eckserah, which was completely undocumented as to its use and application and there were no obvious classes in the css as to what would be set. Even so I compensated for this by handling it in the code so that the used classes can be configured within the module and set on a case by case basis for each icon, so no css changes are required to make it work, just setting the classes in the code and against the icons.

Ultimately the change was made to make the code and the icons easier to manage by having a single table for all icon parameters and store them away from the code base to make it manageable. The changes also future proofed the base code by making it easier to add parameters to icons and compensating for human errors. Feel free to review it yourselves and if you like it roll it back (I left adequate comments in the code before the reversion so what was changed and why is very clear). If you don't que sera sera.

Images
Fair enough, I didn't even knew such technical problems were possible. I apologize for the comment and hope you can sort the problems out. Cheers Xporc (talk) 08:25, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

RE: Removal of Rights (CC)
I'd like to clarify about the message that was left on my talk page. I do not have an intent to be inactive, but its in fact the very opposite. There's a reason why I have been slowly making return to the discord over the last few months. It was inaccurate to say that I changed my statement, because my intent had always been to stay on, just not return to moderation in its full capacity immediately. The messages you added as proof is also misleading without further context on what was mentioned before and after.

As such, I'd like to request the return of rights. It is also unfair that other inactive at the moment did not get their staff rights removed immediately, and such treatment should be the same for all inactive staff, even more so since I have been active in SD over the last few weeks, beginning my return to Nukapedia. Your removal of my rights are unjust, and further corrective actions should be taken in this case. 11:12, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, this is just a CC that was intended for Dyre, however, I'd like to state the following reasons for why im requesting my rights back, as im aware you and Dyre have deliberated over this as well. Also please do not my interest in the Vault Academy yeah? LogoMakr_14Z3y6.png 11:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
