F76 Naming Forum Vote[]

Greetings! In response to your mention of what Bethesda gives us, as well as canon, I would like to point out that the Resident is also just as much of a valid and canon title, not to mention that it's better due to how it differentiates the 76 protagonist from the Fallout 1 protagonist.

Although some would say the Vault Dweller is the more official or canon name, neither is really more canon than the other. For the supposed evidence of a Bethesda spokesman, community managers only have so much expertise on the lore and other matters at hand, where we have had no actual full developer conversation or confirmation. The Resident is just as official, verified, and lore-proven name, with the only difference being - it's much less confusing. As such, I would say it to be best if Resident was chosen over Vault Dweller.

I personally voted Resident; you decide for yourself, considering the information presented. See you on the Forum! - JCB2077 (talk) 18:48, October 24, 2020 (UTC)

For "me", the answer from the Bethesda rep, if it is true, is probably enough. Of course, I understand that canon is a gradient - rather then a world of black and whites. Avellone infamously disagreed on what was and wasn't canon with other developers, after all. For Wiki organization purposes the Resident name is better, but its important that the wiki doesn't contribute to poor "Lore Literacy". ( Essentially: when a larger Fanbase gets the wrong impression of a particular detail of a setting, gradually that wrong assumption being seen as true.

The largest example of this the idea that "Fallout Tactics 2 would have been set in Florida", which isn't actually from a statement of fact and is just conjecture from the mutant crocodile concept art that Tariq did under Micro Forte. )

"The Resident is just as official, verified, and lore-proven name"

Do you have link to your sources, by chance? I was fairly swayed by the Bethesda rep statement, but I can be convinced the other way. Zusk (talk) 08:11, October 25, 2020 (UTC)

Colossus[]

The page was a mess. It did not read well, you created a template in it for no reason, your sections were all jumbled together, and you provided a picture which was not appropriate. I am sorry that you put a lot of work into that page but it did not meet the standards of this wiki.Branebriar1930 (talk) 22:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Also please put messages at the BOTTOM of the page, not the top.Branebriar1930 (talk) 22:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)


Which image was the one that was inappropriate? The one from the talk or the Robo-brain? The Robobrain image I was just basing it off of Quarantine the Glow Bugs's formatting with its image, I figured the image from the talk was warranted since it is the primary source that the article relies on. Noted though about the talk page! Sorry about that. Zusk (talk) 22:55, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Deleted article[]

I went ahead and added your Colossus page to your sandbox, where you're free to play around with it further. 寧靜 Fox 23:05, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Ridgers article[]

I left a little note on the Ridgers article talk page, but wanted to make sure you know that I am very grateful for you pointing out the article needed some work. It sure did. I gave it some attention, and although I take pride in my needlework, you'd better tell me if I left anything out of place. Thanks again, and please let me know if I can help in any other way! -kdarrow Pickman heart take her for a spin! 07:07, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
