What gives?
Could I get a reason as to why my edits a being reverted? On Samantha Traynor's page, I specified that the Primarch is rescued from Menae since the Palaven link mentions nothing about Priority: Palaven. I'm new to this whole, wiki thing, so if I somehow messed up a rule. Let me know. Thanks. IanM 56 (talk) 15:08, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

Reverted edit and I'd like to know why...
Hi (and Happy New Year!) On the page Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists, I've added an information in the first paragraph of the "Evacuation" section (16:36, December 5, 2015). However it was undone, although the information is true and also important as it relates to another quest which depends on it. Is there any reason? Is there a process I'd be unaware of for posting or modifying a page on this Wiki? Thanks. --HawkFest (talk) 14:28, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Concerning Virmire: Assault
Hey, Temp. I know that guy was edit warring, but I did check to see if his revision was valid. It seemed so; see here. Am I missing something? Am I wrong in perceiving that as going *down* the stairs and into the security room which hosted the other two indoctrinated salarians, rather than up them?

Just informing you of why I didn't undo that guy's revision myself: it seemed valid, as far as I knew. Althyk (talk) 21:16, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Hi Temporary!

I edited yesterday the UNC: Hostage page to reflect the fact that Kaidan doesn't always mention the fact that he's an L2 too as the current version of the article suggests, he only does that when you pick the Charm option. If you pick the Intimidate line, he mentions something else - that they (biotics) have been heard and that they don't have to die for it.

Could you tell me why the edit was reverted? I'm new to editing wikis, but I was sure I was complying to the guidelines, and I was trying to adhere to the style of the article(s) as much as possible. I also replayed the scenario and tried picking all the other options to make sure, but Kaidan doesn't mention the L2 thing unless you use Charm. Did I violate any wiki rule?

I thought it would be a worth addition to the article because some people try to squeeze out as much lore as possible from the game, and bringing certain squad members to a particular mission is often the best way to do it. I brought Kaidan to the mission for that purpose after reading the article, and was disappointed when all I got (using Intimidate) was that generic line.

I apologize if this is not the way to ask for clarification on edits, again I'm new to the whole wiki business.

Thank you for you time!


 * it's irrelevant. squadmate dialogue during missions/assignments is covered in the squadmates' respective unique dialogue pages.

Also, since when does one have to be "allowed to" create a page on a wiki? Are you monarch of this little kingdom? Excuse me for mistaking this for a community encyclopedia instead of what it really is, a private sandbox. Maybe you should rename the site "Temporaryeditor78's Mass Effect Pages" and disable the public editing features.

You should take that advice. You never change, never will. Just as pathetic as always. You even scare off other admins. There is no other wiki that has such a miserable admin like you, because no other admin group is foolish enough to give you the power to do this.

Feel free to reply, just know I won't be reading it.

As always, I expect you'll delete the posts and block my IP, and when I feel like it I'll just switch it like I always have and post again.

To the other users of this wiki who may be reading this, I suggest reporting this user to the support team of wikia. There was someone not unlike Temp in the skyrim wiki and they removed her as an admin after enough reports.

Good day.

Just so you know. When I edited Virmire: Assault I kept getting notified that my edits were being revoked, so obviously I would check to see why. When I saw in my email that it said Temporary editor I assumed, like most people would, that it was a computerized editor that was in the wrong. Since I did not think it was a real person I continued reverting the changes back to mine thinking that eventually this computer editor would stop. I was not aware that this was a real person nor was I trying to entice an "edit war." In the future it would help if I could have counter-evidence sent to me before my edits are revoked, so that things like this don't happen. Thank you for understanding.

Nah, Temp is a total joke and a tool, you're wasting your breath.

Reverting the Ultimate Sniper section on Infiltrater Guide ME3
I was about to complain to you about you reversing my Ultimate Sniper guide on the Infiltrator, which is not my own personal build but one that anyone would find is the most lethal fighter, but I see from other messages that you reverse a lot of stuff and are quite picky. Fine, I'll make it a personal one on my own user page but I will link it to the guide page. Honestly though, you need to loosen up a little.

Kiljaedenas (talk) 22:08, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

SERIOUSLY? You got rid of the link? How is anyone supposed to know the existence of, and find, that ME3 Infiltrator sniper build blog that I wrote if it isn't referenced in the main ME3 Infiltrator guide? The main class guide pages are the only places where it even makes sense to put links to more specific build guide blogs.

What gives?!

Kiljaedenas (talk) 00:00, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Temp is a 400 lb neck beard who beats off to MLP and still lives with his parents. He has no control over any aspect of his real life and if he ever treated people in reality the way he does on the internet someone would cave his face in, so this wiki is like his little fantasy kingdom. Don't bother asking him why, you're wasting your breath.


 * This is all extremely inappropriate and certainly not the way to deal with a disagreement over an edit on a gaming wiki. Relax. Temp almost always gives reasons as to why edits are undone, and if they don't, you can ask them and they will. If you're unhappy about it, then argue. There is no need to go around spouting nonsense like this just because you are upset about it. TheKingLerp (talk) 11:05, May 18, 2016 (UTC)

Removing Geth Dreadnaught edit
Okay, what was wrong with that one? Why can't I add a section that describes the hidden option of unique dialog if a romanced Tali and an ME1 romantic partner are in the same squad on this mission? What rule does that break?

Kiljaedenas (talk) 19:57, February 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * again, unique dialogue is covered in squadmates' relevant UD pages.

But how would people looking up the mission on here know about the unique dialog if it isn't listed there? Is it reasonable to expect them to read through every character's unique dialog page before each mission to know which combination of them have it at that time? Wouldn't even a brief note on it in the Preparation section be far more efficient?

Kiljaedenas (talk) 19:38, February 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * proper information compartmentalization. learn about it.


 * i have a blog detailing nearly every dialog opportunity across the trilogy, even recommending specific squadmate combinations for desired impact, yet i never placed the info on walkthroughs for that very reason. that just distracts from the purpose of the walkthroughs - show people how to finish the level.


 * everyone will have something to say at one point or another, particularly in ME3, and in walkthroughs character moments are just second fiddle and unnecessary. cherrypicking just leads to bias, and indiscriminate inclusion again leads to bloat and irrelevance, hence the segregation of data.


 * there are rare exceptions. the squadmate/s being your shepard's squeeze doesn't make one - almost half of them could be.

Re: Image spacing
Regarding your message on my talk on image spacing: Apologies, I was unaware of this. Thanks for your message, I will fix it immediately after I am done with the current edit I am working on. Techhead7890 Talk Contribs 07:55, February 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Apologies again, but I'm having some difficulties locating the things you mentioned. Specifically, I can't quite find the MOS page you described. It doesn't appear on the main page, and while there's a section at Mass Effect Wiki:Manual of Style/General it does not mention line breaks specifically (I also assume you are referring to line breaks or newlines when you say "space" in your message).


 * If you can point me to the specific page which defines and explains these standards I will be happy to ensure it conforms to those style standards. Otherwise, I will attempt to fix the edits to UNC: Geth Incursions and Ilos: Find the Conduit in a way I think is appropriate (using Mass Effect Wiki:Files Guideline, but it may not be completely as you request – you may be required to fix it again yourself. I hope to hear from you soon, Techhead7890 Talk Contribs 08:06, February 23, 2016 (UTC)

Trophy page
Hi,

I added information regarding trophies and unlocking talents to the achievement page. I ran into this issue myself and found little to no information online regarding a solution. Not even the wiki states a solution. I finally found out what was wrong and added this information to the wiki. It will help other people with understanding how this works and how they can get their bonus talents unlocked. This information must be shared. Some people seem to believe a solution is to start over or that you have to delete all your game and save data. The issue is that tracking of unlocks and trophy with counters are separate on the PS3. I own both the xbox and the PS3 version and I can verify this myself as I have run into this problem and resolved it. Now I can understand that the location of the information on the page or the way it is presented may not be to your liking. I understand and if you feel it needs to be edited then do so by all means. I do however feel that this information must be shared and this wiki is a source of information people use to solve their problems as well.

The wiki also states you can use an ability and then reload the game. This doesn't work on the PS3. It's an actual difference in how the xbox and the ps3 handle their achievements. If we leave the above information out then the wiki will give PS3 players incorrect information. AeonsLegend (contact me) 17:26, March 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Fine, I added it to the talkpage as you indirectly requested. Don't know who's going to talk about it with the low amount of players playing ME1 on the PS3, but at least the information is on the site. And maybe there it will prevent some poor soul from wasting 30 hours of his/her life.AeonsLegend (contact me) 18:06, March 16, 2016 (UTC)

Incendiary Ammo
Why did you revert the edit? You should at least give a reason in the changelog. Incendiary Ammo in many cases actually does more damage (explosive AOE) than warp/armor piercing ammo, reduces enemy attacks (less time spent in cover recharging shields) and keeps enemies from hiding.--77.4.235.55 12:37, March 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * i don't, actually. read the item again and nobody's asking about the added effects of the ammo as the focus there is in straight up DPS.

 * Huh? It says nothing about DPS. Since enemies will hide in cover much more often with other ammos, effective DPS will be actually lower with other ammos. Against organic enemies, Incendiary Ammo is almost always superior.--77.4.235.55 13:28, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

The developers aren't right. See also this thread for documented testing: http://forum.bioware.com/topic/570994-weapon-damage-formula-wip/

You can verify yourself that they are dead wrong. The debug console: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/PC_Tweaks_(Mass_Effect_2) provides exact defense/health numbers ("combat health target"). You can easily change the number of upgrades with the console or the Gibbed save editor. BTW, sniper rifles must be used for repeatable testing, since they don't get a short range bonus.

Interwiki flags
I've noticed that other Mass Effect Wikis have flags of the nations where the languages are spoken (ex. the Ukranian and German wikis) and I was wondering if there is a way that we could do that. I know you usually dismiss "But THAT wiki does it!" as a reason for doing something, but these are other Mass Effect Wikis. So could this be done? TheKingLerp (talk) 04:51, May 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * doable with some straightup "research" but- you did type it- that does fall under the "But THAT wiki does it!" as a reason for doing something dismissal. even if the interlanguage wikis do it, it's still their own thing.


 * my opinion is that the default system in place works just fine. there are other issues i feel that need overhauling (and heads to bounce ideas off on) first before this, and this is something i think can be revisited somewhere down the pipeline. other people having enough know-how to do so could expedite the process though. 12:54, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

What is with the reverts?
I am replaying ME 1 after a few years so I decided to double check some things on this wiki only to find it very disorganized and lack important information compared to what I remember (especially in regards to ME 1). I Thought I would help fix the wiki up and edited a few minor things only to have them wiped by you for no apparent reason. Great way to alienate a possible future editor with several playthroughs each of ME 1, 2 & 3.

Maybe because that mention in the lede is four screens up on the page, and will be completely missed by anyone who follows a direct link to the section?

I have given this Wiki another try, but am really admiring the irony with which you are running an "expand this Wiki" ad while continuing to disallow anyone but yourself to contribute anything.

So, do tell me: what is required to be allowed to make any contributions at all to what appears to be a wiki of, by, and for Temporaryeditor78 alone? Solicitr (talk) 15:11, September 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * try reading and following the manuals of style on the autowelcome message on your talkpage for starters. what, thought that was for display?
 * people every now and then have been contributing here with little to no issues whatsoever. just because you consistently fail to understand any sense of content organization doesn't mean others do too.

 * Oooh, people "every now and then" get in an edit that doesn't displease you? Who crowned you God-Emperor of Mass Effect?


 * No, I didn't think the style manual was for display, but I did think it was a set of guidelines as is the case on genuine wikis. Silly me- this isn't a genuine wiki an the manual is your personal preferences enforced as soi-disant Rules. To reverse the question: What, thought the "wiki" at the top of every page was for display only?  You see, a wiki is by definition communal, not autocratic.  It represents the contributions and approaches of a widespread community, not the idiosyncratic pleasure of one monomaniacal control freak with supermod privileges.  Real wikis have multiple admins and dispute resolution procedures and, remarkably, seldom need them because differences of opinion are usually worked out amicably in discussion - but that would involve admitting that legitimate opinions other than your own actually exist.


 * You see, you're really only hurting yourself. This personal-Mass-Effect-site-posing-as-a-Wiki suffers from it, because there are, or were, and possibly could be, a large number of willing and informed contributors who could improve it (greatly)-- that is, if you would allow them, or don't drive them off with your high-handed and insulting manner. You would actually have to consider other human beings as your equals, not your subjects.


 * Just to start with, the user-unfriendly organization of this site and many of its longer pages could use a mass overhaul since, ironically enough, your sense of content organization leaves a lot to be desired. It could have gaping informational holes closed (like the Suicide Mission death mechanics). But I fear you won't allow anyone to alter or correctwhat you have done, no matter how much it objectively needs it (including prose that in places makes even Memory Alpha look unstilted).


 * This could potentially be a good wiki - a good genuine wiki - but only if you were to stop behaving like this is North Korea and you're Kim Jong-Un. Would you actually be willing to de-swell your ego enough to make room for the project to grow?  You could, you know. You could actually consider an approach other than "my way or the highway;" believe it or not, you might find that your fragile self-esteem could withstand the shock.


 * Or not. You have the power of course just to wield your Fisher Price ban-hammer again, autorevert every edit not made by you and your two or three friends, and play in your sandbox all by yourselves. But if that's the case, you should at least have the honesty to remove it from Wikia and shift it to a private domain without the false pretense that it's a community encyclopedia, or anything at all but your personal Mass Effect site.

Concerned
I'm worried that you're being too abrasive here. Doesn't Wikia encourage anyone, admin or otherwise, to treat other editors well? I'm aware we all have our moments, but I believe it's a good idea to be on our best behavior. Also, you might want to change the coding for your signature. It makes it harder to read the subsequent lines. --Nord Ronnoc (talk) 00:28, September 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Temp, even if the edit warring with Nord was clear and that discussion should have go to the talk page, I would suggest to suspend the block for a regular editor such as Nord Ronnoc. Just sayin' in order to keep good relations between users of the wiki. --DeldiRe (talk) 12:15, September 14, 2016 (UTC)


 * a block is a block. 15:45, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
