Surprised this needs to be said, but new messages go at the bottom of the page. Untitled and unsigned messages will be ignored.

Moving around

Hey Mara, since I know you to keep an eye on recent changes, I wanted to let you know we've decided in Discord to move all the Expeditions: Atlantic City pages to the more specific Boardwalk Paradise category. Content from the PTS (America's Playground content) will be placed in the America's Playground category. So eventually we won't be using the EAC category anymore. Just to let you know what's going on. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Image Optimization

I have done my best to optimize the images by cropping them to remove unnecessary space and zooming them in. Rest assured, I am fully committed to improving and delivering the best results in images to the best of my ability. And I am sorry that you disapprove of the work I've done. I will do better in the future if you give me guidance. Joe Blaze 08:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Below is your message that you sent to me.


Image edits Please stop cropping images down to the absolute minimum edge of the image subject. There needs to be some negative space between the image object and the edge of the image. Your crops are resulting in the images butting up against the table and template borders to the pixel. Great Mara (talk) 02:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Recent Codsworth Edit

Quick note on the Codsworth edit: the single quotation mark around "relief" was correct; in the previous sentences, it's made clear that Codsworth doesn't feel actual relief, but a robot's approximation. He does not use the word "relief" in his dialogue (that I know of); hence, 'relief'. I know it's a small point, but I worked really hard on that section to get it right. I'm a new contributor, so please let me know if I missed a style guide rule for the page summary too.

My bad

I don't like the photos being hidden away in infobox tabs like that, that doesn't seem very intuitive to me, but if it's the official style here I apologise for the oversight.Occono (talk) 01:15, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Edit wars

Hey Mara, I locked a couple of pages that were in the midst of some edit wars. With all of the new users getting involved with the wiki, please try to engage with them and communicate good habits. If you need any assistance from other rights holders, please don't hesitate to ask. We've achieved record daily views since the TV show launched, so let's do everything we can to make newcomers feel welcome. Thanks for all you do!

Brotherhood-Enclave conflict on the West Coast page

Greetings, I saw your suggestion to merge the articles. The reason that I created a different page was because technically they are two different conflicts. They take place on opposite sides of the continent, the West Coast one has gone on for 60 years basically with a low intensity, basically just search and destroy missions against remnants (2241-present), while the East Coast war was extremely intense by comparison but only lasted 1 year and was fought against the actual Enclave (2277). The West Coast conflict is still going and the East is getting involved, hence why I added that stuff the East Coast Brotherhood-Enclave War page. but yeah they are two different wars in my opinion, fought by separate factions of the BoS up until the TV Show. Eitherway I could remove some of what I put on the Brotherhood-Enclave War page if that would make things more acceptable.Bleachgod123 (talk) 04:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to think of it. He's giving a reason for it to be there. I'm not familiar enough with the terrain to make an opinion. It's the benefit of the doubt for me. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


Xenophobia

You definitely need to read a dictionary, love, and learn the definition of xenophobia. Cope harder. Rubbishsystem (talk) 01:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Browning auto rifle

"It's been around since the earliest Fallout games" - has it? As far as I know, the BAR appears directly only in Fallout Tactics and in the TV show. The automatic rifle in New Vegas is based on BAR with some modifications, but it's not in Fallout 1 and 2. JagoAndLitefoot (aka Ausir) (talk) 22:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Editor shenanigans

Theoretically, it shouldn't. Is this a repeated occurrence? I'd check if you aren't accidentally selecting a part of the text and overwriting it, it happened to me so many times I gave up editing without a keyboard and mouse. Tagaziel 13:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I'm unnecessarily cutting in on this topic; however, in addition to the Dane (TV series) page, the user also removed information from the Lee Moldaver page. The information that was removed from Lee's page was added by you, Tagaziel. It was information from the BTS section about Lee's relationship with Rose MacLean.

I don't know whether or not the information they removed was appropriate, but I thought it'd be best to mention it.

Art Deco disagreement comment

That tracks. I'm sorry I made you feel so disrespected. I frankly felt that the new editor had been quite thoroughly disrespected, and my tact was meant to dignify them. I regret being catty when unlocking the page; I would like to directly ask you to be gentler with new editors who are not being malicious.

I have come to greatly appreciate what you do for the wiki. You're very diligent. Much of your work is thankless and very necessary. But, to be forthright, you made me feel highly disrespected and discouraged when I joined. You tend to be overwhelmingly firm and dismissive, when simply asserting yourself and explaining why would generally suffice.

But more importantly, I know you are passionate and principled about serving the community. Overall your judgment is sensible and you assert yourself with a necessary boldness. I sincerely value your input and your contributions. Keep up the good work.--Anachorite (talk) 02:21, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

  • I would specifically ask you to consider that a very inexperienced user apparently "edit warring" may be experimenting with revisions and trying to do better. We had such a misunderstanding when I was very new. If you'll recall, I was ultimately entirely fine with allowing the page to remain as you desired. However, I was highly discouraged by the way you spoke to me about the matter. Please consider trying to assume better faith in those situations. Those people are probably doing their best, and we should encourage them to keep trying. Everyone's gotta fumble a bit before they get it right.--Anachorite (talk) 02:39, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
