What's the best way of reaching you? Tried pinging you on Discord, but not sure that's the best. Also I'm not really clear on how TVA lessons work and if I need to receive feedback on a lesson before starting the next. Seems like I'll have a lot of free time over the next couple of weeks, so this will be helpful to know. ORDVAC (talk) 13:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Leaving a comment for Quiz 3. I had already made some edits to my user page, but I made another one. Doesn't seem worth putting under a new header. ORDVAC (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm feeling sort of blocked on the lessons right now, so can you respond to my last Discord message when you're able to? Thanks. ORDVAC (talk) 15:35, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Just leaving a note here in case there's some issue with Discord. Had another question; answer when you can. ORDVAC (talk) 15:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Anonymous Editing
Hiya Kate ! I was the catalyst for Jspoel flipping the switch over & over, haha. I made an edit on April 3 then today I saw that all pages were locked for editing. I've had previous discussions with him and with Findabair and with Stormrider (and actually with you as well ... last post on this page: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Fallout:_New_Vegas_armor_and_clothing) and so I posted to both of their Talk pages. I don't think I have access to the discussion, would you please give me a synopsis on the reasoning behind this change ? I don't make very many edits, and never worried about getting credit for my edits. It's way easier for me to make them "anonymously" than try to remember a user name and which email account I used to set it up and what the password is. Oh lord, what was the password ??!!

Brand new creation
I see. Something I could become enthousiastic about (hard to achieve that with me). Especially with the newer games, they often have variants placed on the same page (like BlamCo MC), or characters are returning, then the boxes would become more tidier and have better overview. They look good to me, keep on this track and it should be a good change/improvement for the wiki. Is this consumable infobox now ready to go or does it still need work? Jspoel  15:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comes a question to mind. Can we use this Fo76 consumable infobox also for the Fallout 4 pages? I'd make it so that it also works on the Fallout 4 pages, and we rename the template to Infobox consumable FO4 and use it on both. I'd like to use this sort of template for multiple games.

 * In the template, there are some difficult, only doable for specialists at this moment (Gilpo), parameters that need filling in, like heals hp, food and rads. A regular user wouldn't know how to do that. So there needs to come some accompanying documentation. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 17:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

NTV 2020
No, I did not forget! Just took a little longer than it should have. Busy IRL had me a little drained the last month for wiki things. Small potatoes to the 100,000 plus edits, quasi-religious figure of the editors :p Here is your official NVT 2020 Award to do with what you will.

Congrats again...and do beware. There's a bit of a Madden Curse with the NTV Award right now, with the last two winners being stripped of rights and disappearing under mysterious circumstances. So, if you're looking for a mold to break, this would be a good one! The Dyre Wolf (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Congratz!
Congratulations, looks like you got everything for 2020. Never thought you to be the greedy type, but alas.😏 Just kidding, well earned Nukapedian of the Year. Keep reaching for the rainbow. --Findabair The benefit of the doubt is often doubtful. 16:22, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Back at ya!
Congratulations! Can't think of anyone more deserving of the awards you've received this year. Thank you so much for the kind words on my progress. It means a lot. The box of Mac & Cheese (with the ez-pull tab) made me lol. I will treasure it forever. I know I'm repeating myself, but I really can't thank you enough for what you do to help us new editors get up and running. Gilpo1 (talk) 00:01, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Infobox armor/world objects
Today I was doing some work on the armor pages, to discover the difference between the armor gamebryo and your new Fo76 armor infobox. I wasn't pleased to see the header option was gone, the images are smaller and the tech info is now in a collapsed box. This is an issue of which I would say the dataminers are getting a bit too much leeway (subject for the forum). I like to be informed of these planned changes beforehand, and others need to be informed too (or did you discuss these changes in the overseer's desk?) Anyway, there needs to be constructed some sort of working table, so all people are informed of planned coming changes. Now I'm being confronted with this. Same thing with the world object pages, I wonder, are these new templates really necessary of can exiting templates be updated? It's becoming a forest to me. Jspoel  14:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I understand your idea to form a committee of sorts, but the frequency is not for me. It would become sort of an obligation for me, and I want to keep doing this for fun. I know my limitations, and one of them is Discord. The pace if too fast for me, I need time to ponder about things, I don't want to make decisions in haste. This will also be an issue in the upcoming forum, but I'll do my best there. First let's see how that MotM goes, after that I would say when the need arises we can come together, or I could check what has been said in for example the Dataminers box afterwards and respond to that. What I can say for myself now is that I would like to have a sort of Template overview page in the Fallout Wiki space, with all the new/planned and adjusted templates from the past 1,5 year or so, for everyone to see. At the moment I've lost the oversight anyway.
 * You changed the main header from the front page, did you discuss this with the admins? I'm not in favor of putting such a long piece a text on the landing page of our wiki. It's too long, you have to reach too far to get to the game buttons.
 * Let me think about this, it may grown on me. Not sure.
 * Added you to my Steam page! Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 14:39, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Well, low and behold, I just discovered we already have a Template help page in the Fallout Wiki space... I should have known that right? It's helpful, I need to take a better look at it to see for further improvement. Jspoel  14:51, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ...And we have a Fallout Wiki:Template modernisation page. We can work with that. Jspoel [[file:Speech Jspoel.png|10px|link=User talk:Jspoelstra]] 14:55, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Questions
Hello! Thanks for welcoming me onto the Wiki! Anyways, this question seems a little dumbfounded but, I would like to know where I will answer Quiz 1 of the TVA Intro. I'm not clear on the instructions and I require some clarification. Thanks! -- Arcaneous  “The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.”

Userpage edit! (Quiz 3-2)
