Fallout Real Life Map
Hi Kate,

I saw your blog (someone posted a link in a previous comment), cool blog. You wrote about the real life locations near you.

I thought you might be interested in seeing these maps I've put together showcasing the real life locations from the Fallout franchise.


 * Map 1: Open in Google Maps (Map 1: Fallout to Fallout (Film) (TBA))


 * Map 2: Open in Google Maps (Map 2: Fallout 4 to present (as of time of this message))

Enjoy and let me know what you think. Mojave locations are on Map 1 along with Van Buren locations.

My Experience: I used to be a Patrol Leader in the BSWE British Scouts Western Europe's 1st Gütersloh Scout Group based originally at Flughafen Gütersloh before the group disbanded in 2012. My experience included surveying areas and commanding a small group during activities. I enjoy looking at street signs, nature and historical buildings.

Have a great day (or evening) and have a wonderful weekend, Kate.

RE: All Roads
Hey Kate!

I totally forgot to mention that YES it indeed arrived! I had it sent to my hometown while I'm away for university currently, but my brother let me know it did show up! So I haven't been able to feast my eyes on it myself, but it just makes me even more excited and I can't wait for the end of the term so I can see it in person!

I'll be sure to send you pictures of the unboxing, and my general overwhelming excitment!

Thanks again so much for this ever special gift, it truly means the world to me! I won't soon forget it.

Ant and disruptive editing
This has gotten old to the point of being outright absurd. Ant apparently refuses to copyedit anything he merges from the Vault and other editors should not have to spend edit after edit just cleaning up after one person. He does not listen to nor heed prior edit summaries and communication regarding his imports. Having to fix obvious things like this constantly is disruptive to other editors, even if done in good faith and needs to be corrected. Great Mara (talk) 06:33, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

French images
Hello Kate, I'm Arkadyos, an admin of the french Fallout wiki. I just wanted to thank you for the work you're doing on our side, removing bad images and so on. Actually, I gave a second life to the wiki 2 years ago, and our contributor's base is growing, but there's still many articles that are out-of-date and needs some work. We're doing the best we can, and I'm sorry if those bad images are still appearing in databases. (sorry for the approximative english :/). Well, in the name of the staff, thank you again, and have a great playing time !

Re:Amazing Maps!
Hi Kate,

Thanks. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the maps I've worked on over the years. I'm still using my skills from my old Scouting days.

I made some map icons which are used on Map 2 of my map. I've included those icons in a discussion post on Nukapedia. Check out the discussion post here, incase you're interested.

The map icons include a river, law office, eatery, bus stop, Vault-Tec, photo opportunity and a nuclear fallout shelter.

I wonder what special gift the other user is referring to?

Anyways, have a good week and a good weekend!

Word contraction
Its for grammatical professionalism really. It looks (to me at least) a bit informal when words are contracted, and I have been removing them since I started editing, and mentioned it was one of the main things I get did on my CMOD application. Since its such a minor issue, I suspect that it has become something of an unwritten rule, as I don't recall a strict guideline on it but I have seen other editors getting rid them of them as well.

Shakespeare and Toasters
Why was Shakespeare removed from Fallout's cultural references? It's from Richard III' act 5, scene 4. Also I believe the Toasters comment was referencing Wasteland.--Ant2242 (talk) 02:15, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
