HUD Elements = Note that we need planet, system, and cluster images, however we also need them without HUD elements. Things like the lines and the mouse are not acceptable in the images. Lancer1289 15:48, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Prepare to receive (horribly) cropped screenshots then. Temporaryeditor78 00:48, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually what I'm seeing isn't that bad.
 * I should also point out that on the upload screen, if you put in the repective categories in the "Summary" field, they will auto add to the images once it is uploaded. This will save time and prevent clogging of the RC and double edits. Lancer1289 23:19, March 26, 2012 (UTC)



Language Policy = Note that we do in fact have a Langauge Policy here. We do not tolerate inappropriate or crude language here, especially twice in one comment. Further violations of this policy will lead to a ban. Lancer1289 14:12, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

This will be your final warning about our language policy. If you violate the policy again, then you will face a ban. Lancer1289 18:53, June 18, 2012 (UTC)



Asteria = Since you're posting images for all of the ME3 planets, I wanted to point out that Asteria will also need an image. It's in a system that appeared in ME2, but the planet itself was missing until ME3, so you might easily have missed it. -- Commdor (Talk) 02:57, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * done. Temporaryeditor78 03:09, March 27, 2012 (UTC)



DUMBASS = whats your deal? Facepalm?? read the Codex dumbass
 * How mature. First of all, if you could still read this after being banned, what you type is a whole load of speculative rubbish in there.


 * "They were created by the Reapers to maintain the space station, so that the organic inhabitants wouldn't discover its true function(s)." - Created by Reapers? Really? Where does it say?


 * " Keepers were once a sentient, organic specie that was apparently harvested and re-purposed by the Reapers." - Where does it say that in the Codex?


 * Frankly speaking, your "contributions" so far, if I can still call it that, its neither helpful, informative or accurate.
 * — Teugene (Talk) 06:14, April 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * i'll just speculate that i'm dealing with an autistic adhd-riddled (man-)child who's obviously POV-pushing hazy and dubious information across the wiki and act on it in the only way imaginable.

Temporaryeditor78, please feel free to remove this post if you wish. The user that left it has been banned for violations of multiple site policies, although I'd call two weeks quite generous.

Planet View images = Hey, nice work on updating the planet images! I've also tagged some planet articles with poor quality and resolution images and wondering if you could help retake the screenshots for those too? — Teugene (Talk) 08:28, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * That's great! I was feeling finicky about some images with really horrible/weird anti-aliasing and wanted to tag them all. But there were just too many, so I only tag the worst of the images. — Teugene (Talk) 09:23, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Zymandis picture. = Hey, thanks for the image addition of Zymandis. Though, is it possible to screenshot a picture of him from the front? I don't think Zymandis would be happy to have an image of his behind in the article. :) 04:22, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * i considered shooting from the front but there's just too many cons against it (1. too near and zymandis' bulk obscures the environment making him difficult to distinguish from other hanar, too far and the wall clips immediately, and there's no middle ground given his closeness to the computer screens// 2. npcs block the other angles // 3. the only good (semi)frontal shot has a very nondescript background// 4. without the screens zymandis is just another generic hanar model in a generic-looking environment). the only possible shots are from top-down, sideways and from behind like the one i posted - for completeness' sake here's the best i can come up with:    Temporaryeditor78 06:02, May 29, 2012 (UTC)



Something I noticed about your signature = Hey, I noticed something weird about your signature. In quite of a few talk pages, your signature becomes a jumbled mess. It kind of looks like Asian characters spreading out vertically from it, spilling over into other lines of text. Yours is the only one that seems to do it (mine, Commdor's Lancer's, Mr. Mittens', etc. seem to work fine). Here's a screen shot of what it's doing:. TheUnknown285 (talk) 07:04, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I have noticed this as well, but I just thought it was some sort of unique signature you use sometimes.--Legionwrex (talk) 07:21, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

If it isn't too much trouble, there are several very specific images we need from that game which I'm hoping you can obtain. The first is a shot for the Cobra pistol obtained only through console commands (from Hahne-Kedar Shadow Works; scroll down the page, you'll see where there's an image missing). The other four that are needed are shots of the turian and krogan variants of Predator Armor. You'll notice that where we have missing images, they appear as redlinks in the articles. The reason for that is the ME armor and weapon info templates are set up to display images only with very specific file names. If you can obtain these images (which should match the style of the other images in those articles), they will need to be uploaded with those exact file names: File:Cobra P.png File:Light-turian-Predator.png File:Medium-turian-Predator.png File:Medium-krogan-Predator.png File:Heavy-krogan-Predator.png If you can get these five images, then we'll finally have an image for all ME weapons and armor. -- Commdor (Talk) 09:19, July 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * challenge accepted, halfway delivered. don't have a 1080p monitor so i had to resort to a bit of creative tweaking to get most of wrex and garrus (particularly wrex) inside the shots without showing any HUD elements (impossible to remove them with toggleHUD+show scaleform unless there's some other command i don't know yet).


 * also, i noticed that the model for pistols looks like a custom shepard. won't be approximating that look any time soon, so i went with a hooded kaidan + ursa armor, hope you don't mind. dealt with.


 * until somebody comes along with a better gaming system than i have with the same predilection for taking pictures, i guess we'll have to make do with these for a while...


 * and if i may ask, what happened to the original images there (was under the impression whoever uploaded the other images completed the sets)? there was none, or they got deleted somehow?

Adding Categories To Images = When you upload images, the area labeled "Comments", you can add the categories for the image there. Granted you have to upload them one by one, but it iwll prevent multiple edits. Just trying to pass on some helpful advice. Lancer1289 (talk) 22:29, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * appreciate the advice, i was in quite a hurry when i was uploading the images and didn't have the time to determine which categories would be appropriate to add. rest assured i'll try to minimize the RC clogging in the future now that i've more or less gotten the hang of it.
 * question though before i proceed further with alterations, are we allowed to alter the copyright status of files we didn't add (e.g. those that are screenshots but aren't labeled fair use or not even labeled at all) and are we allowed to categorize them? or should i restrict myself to files i added? i noticed a bunch of mistagged images while i was trawling those sections for unused files yesterday.

Your comment on the Flamewar Policy. =
 * Please not this actually has nothing to do with the policy

I must say I am shocked, and offended that you would think I'm the type of person who would go through all the trouble (it took two weeks to make this, and it was an incredible pain is the ***) to make this proposal only for the purpose of using it to ban people I have had minor disagreements with.

And thats all I have to say about that.--Legionwrex (talk) 17:24, August 20, 2012 (UTC)



Screenshot blog. = I really like the idea of your screenshot blog. I have already begun what you want with UNC: Lost Freighter images. I really hope they're of sufficient quality and if not, please tell me how I can improve.

If you don't mind, I think I'll take care of the ME Citadel quests and the prologue. Also, what picture exactly do you want for the Asari Consort? Is it the one at the end of the sex scene? Since this is a pretty long article, I think that the screenshot of the Eletania ruins where you use the trinket wouldn't hurt either.

Best regards. 4Ferelden (talk) 09:52, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * hmm. definitely has room for improvement. what i wrote grew too long for my preferences so i'm going to add some capping tips to the blog so you can view it there at your leisure.


 * PS you know that sequence where sha'ira puts her hand on the glass? THAT. and i already took the time to do it as it's of particular interest to mine, hope you don't mind. :3

Darius Retainers. = Since I'm not planning on a Renegade playthrough right now, can you please verify several things about them (and Darius himself) so that I can update their pages?

First of all, does their health regenerate? I'm guessing it does, but I would rather not make such edits before knowing for sure. Likewise, can they switch weapons if they're overheated by Sabotage? If you can provide me this info, I can update their tactics page from the shambles it is currently in.

On an unrelated note, I see that you have been working on the Mass Effect section of your blog. In process, you continually leave the UNC: Lost Freighter uncrossed, even though I have uploaded some pictures about a week ago. Is it just because you forget, or are there some specific issues you want me to fix? I still have a save right there on the ship's entrance, so I can quickly re-upload anything you want changed.

Best regards. 4Ferelden (talk) 02:25, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * regeneration: depends. they have krogan. as for the other retainers, didn't notice because they die too fast after their immunities wear off. they do have shield boost for whatever good that did them.
 * sabotage switching: i thought that was a general AI action? all of them are equipped with backup weapons (either sniperrifle-pistol or shotgun-assaultrifle) and they switched pretty regularly in my playthroughs. that was because i like to get close to them, mind you. i had tali and liara in the most recent one so you can probably guess what happened.
 * please note i wrote all my observations on insanity: i've read/seen ingame that enemies scale up or down depending on player level, difficulty AND game progression (geth trooper at eden prime, 2 shields while geth trooper on citadel = 6 shields) and i'm currently confused as to what exact values to put for the hp/shields bars because of that. just keep this in mind whenever you're updating enemy info, they can be radically different at times and may not be reflective of "normal" player experience.
 * lost freighter: if the pics there were good enough to stay, i guess the page needs a little tweaking on sizes and formatting. formatting broke after lancer removed the overload ones. bigger picture placements and minor paragraph restructuring.
 * i'm not doing anything to (most of) the pages you're working on because i'm still seeing if you can figure them out by yourself. the UNC: Geth Incursions pictures were not bad ideas but could seriously need moar quality AND clarity. i already had highres backup images (2560x1600) for all the bases that meets those requirements, i'm just seeing if you can still cap and upload your own. after all, i did already write what standards i adhere to. and all the tools you need can be found in this very wiki, somewhere else on the internet, and on your system tray.
 * also, i'm moving up to mass effect 2.

OK, thanks for your advice. For the shield values and abilities, I think it's best to list the highest in the infobox and then mention in text that it can vary from lowest to highest (say 1 to 4 for the Mercenary Snipers.) I'm really not impressed by the health values system, though: it currently lists both regular mercenaries and basic krogan enemies as "moderate", even though the latter have verifiably more health, whereas lesser geth troops are listed as low when their health is essentially the same as that of humanoid enemies, with regeneration of the latter giving false impression.

Regarding the Retainers's regeneration, I think I'll just assume they have it since all other comparable enemies I have encountered (Turian Bodyguards, Scavengers, Pirates and Mercenaries) regenerate.

Anyway, thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do to get better versions. Hope to see more high-quality ME2 screenshots from you. 4Ferelden (talk) 08:32, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I'm really sorry to hear about your hard drive breaking down. Anyway, I have kinda given up on the geth base images: I have uploaded my final attempt but none of them approaches your 2560 by 1600 benchmark. If you haven't lost your backup images in that crash, please replace mine with them. I hope that you like my tactical edits to the page, though.

 * there's actually a way to scale up screencaps to whatever resolution you want, full details and all, without resorting to artificially blowing up the resolution on image editors. its only downside is poor postprocessing handling.


 * that said, you probably noticed i'm still splurging on ME2 caps and probably can't be bothered to revisit ME1 until i get another drive (next to impossible in the near future) or until after i finish with ME3 (again) after ME2 (and when might this be). i see lancer decided to spare some of your ups, so i won't be superseding those. for antibaar, rayingri and maji i only have two remaining (the originals were lost in the busted drive) and they're -not- of sufficient quality for me to warrant posting them yet. don't get me wrong, they're probably (more than) acceptable for the site, except i tend to have a more critical eye on what i want to post. i don't cap 10+ angles of the same scene for nothing.

middle-click is when you use the mousewheel (if you have one) to click on the link. which takes you to a new tab (browser, not in-wiki) with the new page.

your idea made me trollface on so many levels - something i did often back in college - cheap workarounds! :D

da**, all you need to work on now is put some sort of formatting on the edit template so that it doesn't look quite out of place and you're set! and even without it i'd still support the project on the notion it can be improved in the future.

Stuff =

Well, I've done all I can do for the night. I assume you're going on ahead and updating more character articles, so whenever you finish, be sure to post on Mass Effect Wiki:Operation Concentrated Effort/Project Chronicler where you left off like I did. Also, sometime later could you upload images of the various ME3: Retaliation enemies for those articles? And maybe the Venom Shotgun and Executioner Pistol images (in-game assets, like the other weapons. This may be difficult seeing as the Groundside Resistance Pack isn't free and you may not have splurged on it)? Consider these image requests a lower priority, they can wait until after we get the character pages done. -- Commdor (Talk) 05:15, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * yeah, multiplayer stuff's about the only thing i won't/can't screencap due to a variety of reasons. apologies but i simply cannot help with the multiplayer end of ME3 unless the assets there cross over to SP.

Character Template Issue = Hey, the bit of markup in the Character template that allows for auto-categorization of races has a small issue.

what i meant is that it gets tricky when we're trying to plug in variables and do something with those variables (e.g. race + autocategorization) instead of just presenting static data (box appearance etc). can't see workable results for variables unless the mainspace markup is changed and can't do that from sandboxes from what i've seen.

Its all too likely for new users to confuse the Normandy dialogues for UD related dialogues. I think we should get the admins' opinion of this little problem and create separate pages for in-squad and in-Normandy dialogues. Otherwise, the character pages would clog up with in-Normandy dialogues. What do you think?--SolitaryReaper (talk) 15:12, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * i raised that issue months and months ago on one of the talkpages here but nobody did anything about it till now. current MOS is outdated and covers only the possibilities for ME/ME2, neglecting the fact that most lines in ME3 are a bit more organic in nature.
 * however, i think normandy dialogue can be rewritten to fit the in-universe style with minimal difficulty and it's probably not difficult to migrate the normandy dialogue from the UD pages to the char ones. i'm of the opinion that normandy dialogue's not "unique" in that the squaddie says something after the mission regardless of whether they were brought or not - which was the point of prior UD sections. that's the vibe i got from the revision histories that weren't reverted, but of course you can always ask lancer/commdor for clarifications.
 * also, i'm planning to spruce up more char pages with pics so more words on sections i plan to illustrate are always welcome in my book.

Collector Ship trigger = 5 missions isn't the only requirement. You need 8 squadmates. Try it for yourself or do a quick search of the topic in the BioWare forums. Once the Collector Ship mission triggers, you can go to the Reaper IFF and then Omega 4 relay. The game will not allow you to do the Suicide Mission with fewer than 8 squadmates. Changes are correct. See talk page on Collector ship mission for links to the numerous discussions in the forums about this. Centy  – [ reply ] • contribs  – 21:13, January 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * What you provided is not confirmation. We keep getting multiple conflicting reports so we need confirmation. Lancer1289 (talk) 22:14, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

The official IGN guide also instead of reporting the trigger to be numbers of missions post-Horizon but number of squadmates.

http://guides.ign.com/guides/14235018/page_107.html

You can leave a note saying there are still conflicting reports, but for the wiki to only state 5 missions is misleading. Centy  – [ reply ] • contribs  – 22:22, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Sound files.
First of all, great work with extracting those sound files for the Reaper codex! However, if that is possible within the constraints of ME engine, how far can we go with adding audio to the articles? Is there any way that we can rival Nukapedia on this, where they have sound files for all narrated slides, ambient music in the locations it's played and even the weapon sounds like here? I'm really excited about this prospect. 4Ferelden (talk) 06:33, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

= man that sounds like overkill :o

i only upped the codex sound files to preserve consistency across codex pages (there's still a few missing) and given how F- HUEG the entire franchise's collection of sound files are we'd likely waste most of our tween years if we even attempt to catalog and up them all (if this remains a one- or two-man project as it likely will be)

just some initial reactions. as to the question though, let's see. = = tl;dr we'd be diving a lot in the files for some .5-second sound anyone can see, hear and more in just two seconds of youtube searching - cost outweighs benefits not to mention wiki is more of a visual medium than an aural one - i think we only gave the codex audio consideration since they actually give background (and at times conflicting) info for the times we're too lazy to read.
 * weapons - weapons fire, chargeup sounds. doable but there's a lot (don't see the benefit though, i can simply watch youtube for a proper demo - single-shot weaps can be properly represented but with weaps fired on full auto the files {w/c are just looped to produce the auto effect} hardly give the right impression - say sniper vs assault rifles - recording ingame then uploading those is another matter entirely)
 * the logical extension would be the equipment sounds. why though. time spent trawling and cataloguing (hours if you're unlucky) is hugely disproportionate to the average length and content each of them have (half a second tops). applies to everything here actually.
 * characters - maybe for quotes. which can change depending on community consensus - srs bsns to some as compared to pics. and this wiki doesn't like unused files lying about. finding them is a pain though - you'll be wading through dozens of vaguely-named files at times. remember that the VAs recorded over FORTY THOUSAND lines (in ME3 alone) and we'll be sifting through that and more. noteworthy lines aside from quotes is out of the question due to the numbers involved and the risk of overkilling pages with audio.
 * adversaries - taunts, grunts, death cries (well i can also watch em on youtube - demonstrations of weaps killing goons while hearing the sounds they produce all in one). while most are generic there's also the problem of mapping some lines - from which people can we reliably hear "i will destroy you!" (male and female), "go go go!", or how to differentiate salarian voices from asari or human female ones (yes there's some overlap) or some such
 * ambient music - mission pages. hmm, not seeing the nukapedia equivalent on their pages. as to the ME games: unique cues in some pages, recycled cues in some situations (like when under attack). if to be implemented, it's playlist type. and it should be intrusive - set to autoplay whenever user browses relevant mission (a la badly formatted myspace pages of old) - up side, they'll definitely notice it. downside, it's irritating after a while. not to mention a bandwidth hog.
 * misc - that annoying reaper horn whenever you exceed the limits of scanning a system in ME3. leviathan's awesome rationale for doing what its species did. can be an interesting side bit in the articles, but that's it. there's bound to be more but i'd rather keep things visual.

i ain't stopping you from trying though. if considering only ME classic's files you can use the psychonauts explorer for audio extraction. ME's audio bits are located within ISB files and you can use the tool to get em. if considering ME2 and ME3, well, there's always umodel as well as ME3explorer. the audio bits are scattered all over, sometimes obviously named and sometimes in the least likely places.

OK, thanks. I really appreciate the effort you have put into writing all of this. You're right, however, that the costs greatly outweigh the benefits here. The only way this could ever be reasonably done is if we create a sub-section of Concentrated Effort or something similar and manage to attract many new editors to this over the years - possible, but unlikely to say the least.

All in all, the best course of action would probably be to forget about this for now and focus on fixing the rest of our mainstream content, then maybe do something about the Infiltrator and Galaxy (btw, does anyone here still have it after it was put off-line? There is precisely zero information on its enemies, skills, etc. and now we might not ever get the chance to fill it in.) 4Ferelden (talk) 09:20, February 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * never owned an iOS/android device so i can't ever contribute to infil and galaxy. the few who do seem disinclined to share what they found though, i hear those games weren't exactly bestsellers nor critically-acclaimed.


 * i'd recommend you take a look at some of the assassin's creed wiki pages. they're similar to what you're proposing in spart's page - i happen to like how they slap templates on pages marking them under a certain user's responsibility to repair/revamp/fill out. it's tied to some sort of apprenticeship system though and i'm too lazy to participate in such a system.

That does seem interesting (even though I hate AC franchise as a whole.) I'm not sure that this would work better than Fallout tags, though: the template on the walkthrough page has been there since August, and so implementing this system might turn others away from editing the article since to them it's somebody else's problem (people never fail to use this one as justification, it seems). 4Ferelden (talk) 10:07, February 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * yyep, that's another snag. on the other hand the one who tagged that has a purple name, somewhat equivalent to senior ed here. so we can expect he'll either follow through on some later date or he totally forgot (either way, dude still seems active judging by contribs).
 * the regulars there are actually busy updating content in other parts of their wiki compared to here. i've seen em contact members apprentices slacking off, so the pages marked under revamp by their "apprentices" are sure to get attention in due course. they don't have in-wiki chat but they've been hosting some IRC pub offsite. where i'm assuming most of em hang out. also helps that their higher-ups actually seem to spend time interacting with their minions rather than just reverting and alt-tabbing.
 * point of interest, you should see the average amount of bling their active users have on their userpages - they're taking their editing duties VERY srsly.


 * which means i rarely have to edit there, yey.

Characters pictures from Comics.
Hi Te78,

I wanted to add some picture for the characters for two main reasons :


 * Coherence : some characters have a lot of pictures from the comics and others do not have any or have picture for one but not all the comics.


 * Completeness : More image can give an idea of how the character is depicted on different support with different "artistic integrity". Especially for poeple who do not own the Comics.

Then, i come to you for two things :


 * Tips : Do you have tips (others than those on the guidelines) to extract quality image from comics in .pdf ?
 * Image(s) from Paragon Lost : If we want coherence, we also should add some picture extracted from Paragon lost. And I saw that you can extract really great picture with an high quality, so you could finish my job by some pictures to complete some characters (of course Vega but maybe interesting for Anderson, Liara and Hackett).

In advance, thank you for your help.

PS: sorry for my english, i'm not a "native"--DeldiRe 15:00, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

images are well and good but please remember there's such a thing as overkill. if an article is too short and there's little we can do to lengthen them, the number of allowable pics for that article also drops considerably (not to mention we can't use photo galleries in the articles, says so on the MOS).

as for the two things:
 * for comic PDFs, you can simply select+rightclick the page on adobe reader then copypaste it to MSpaint or whatever image editing program you prefer. text bubbles preferably erased or cleaned up if they're not being used to depict a particular section of an article. and whatever you do, ALWAYS save as PNG (this is to ensure an image with no loss of quality).
 * if you can waste time reading, i'd point you to this blog of mine, under "standards i adhere to". it's a boring read but you might gain a few insights on the screencapping process if you stick around long enough.
 * i'm about halfway done with everything on paragon lost. reason between long updates is i have too many screencaps and too little article text to work with. it's hard choosing which ones to put up, believe me. which means i end up overhauling entire pages anyway. just hit the characters page at random, if it has a lot of pics, i did that. if it has none, i will hit that.

PS i'm no brit nor american either.

Lantar Sidonis
Hi again TE78, thank you for cleaning my pages, it is very kind of you. Nevertheless, i got an issue on the Lantar Sidonis case. If you say that he "was" instead of he "is", is this not some kind of spoiler ? I would prefer to come back to the old version. Don't you think ?

it's technically not a spoiler since by the time we hear from garrus in ME2 his old team is already dead except for sidonis. past tense applies then.

 * 3, who have the turian qonqured, asorbed, etc, this may be a codex error from bioware.


 * 1) because they're NOT the only client race the turians have. note: client raceS. plural. they have more. the volus do serve in an auxillary capacity, yes, but you're making it like they're the ONLY client race available.
 * 2) anybody can use elkoss combine weapons. your point.
 * 3) you a writer for bioware? no? then codex doesn't err unless contradicted by other legit sources. in this case, there's no contradiction other than your own mistaken assumptions. there are many more races in the ME universe that were never shown before, we know not their names or their numbers, we just know they're at least in the dozens. go read some cerberus daily news or more codex.

normally i'd simply make some adjustments but this time, not my responsibility to correct your sloppy understanding of the lore, especially if there's an obvious language barrier in play and it's difficult if not outright impossible to glean definite meaning from the engrish. i am already wasting my time replying to you rather than simply correcting your mistakes or forging on ahead with my own wiki shenanigans and i do have some wiki shenanigans i'd very much like to perform before going off to do other things. it'd be better for all of us if you actually tried to increase your understanding of the series (or basic english) better on your own.

Data Mining: Inusannon
You've dug into the data files for the series, right? Have you seen anything that mentions the Inusannon. I ask because there has been discussion about whether we should capitalize the name. It's capitalized in the ME3 subtitles, but not in the codex entry for Eingana in ME2. The feeling from Sparthawg was that the codex entry takes precedent because it's actually in the game. Seeing how the name is written in the data files would be helpful. Thanks. TheUnknown285 (talk) 15:52, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

stats from my cheat sheets:
 * 5 hits in 4 files
 * javik capitalizes "Inusannon" in all 2 of his mentions (thessia and normandy intro convo)
 * planet descriptions for eingana (ME2 and ME3) just go with "inusannon" (note that eingana doesn't actually appear in ME3, there's just spillover of planet descs across the tlk files)
 * "Those cuff links... Is that design inspired by late-period inusannon artwork? The attention to detail is remarkable." <- by someone from the citadel DLC. no idea who, i'm fairly certain it's not from javik or wrex since i haven't yet used others besides them in distracting the guards (and this is clumped with similar distraction-like lines - of course i could be wrong, but still the line is in the dlc).

we get 3(-1) vs 2. later races don't capitalize. javik caps them. take from this what you will.

And also, i'd like to have your opinion on the quality of screenshot provided for ME:Infiltrator (not the one for morality guide because I will add a new one).

 * not bad. definitely not bad, all things considered. they adequately serve the purpose of illustrating the intended articles. couple of reminders:


 * cropping comic pics - sure. since there's a lot of overlap between panels and characters at times.
 * cropping ME:I pics - not unless absolutely necessary. if you're trying to depict an entire scene, leave as is. if trying to depict enemies/characters, sure so they can fit in upcoming enemy boxes (be mindful of already-uploaded pics, like X1 or inali, unless you're certain you can get better shots).
 * if trying to depict chapter images (like the ones you put up for ice giant and incarceration)... i'm not really certain since i don't have the game. if it takes up the entire screen of your device without any other distracting/irrelevant elements, don't crop. if it does not, well i suppose it can't be avoided then.

Several question and problems with my screenshots:

 * Turian : I found a nice official wallpaper to use but unnaccesible from my office, I will upload as soon as I can.
 * Inali: for the characters page, the quality is low, any ideas to make it look better ? It is really uneasy to have a bigger picture of her head.--DeldiRe 16:37, March 27, 2013 (UTC) [[Characters/Mass Effect: Infil


 * i highly doubt under-the-hood commands are available for the game that can make intrepid mobile gamers do tricks with ME:I, so unless there's some sort of zoom-in function you can play with, or if you can maneuver randall closer to her, or if you can get good angles of her in her boss fight, there's little we can do about it.


 * as for the turian, i think i know which image you're referring to. 2000x768. a cropped version can go in his character page, but you'll probably have to shave a couple of pixels left and right if you're planning to use him for Characters/Mobile Games since we use literal boxed images there (768x768 etc) for uniformity.

The source image is this one : http://blog.bioware.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/MassEffectInfiltrator_HiResMarketing_original.jpg I will also add new (and bigger) image for inali and volus, could you make the cropping yourself ? Thanks --DeldiRe 23:04, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * if you need help in precision cropping, perhaps i should point you to an excellent free image manipulation software instead: http://www.gimp.org/ . this'll help you not only with mass effect pics but with any other image editing you might need IRL. weddings, funerals, w/e.

 * Thank you for the advice, I will have a look to this software, but for now I do like pest you so I uploaded screenshots for the rest of the character (for character article) -> DeldiRe/Sandbox/Screenshots : inali and Volus on the screen. Next time I upload I will do it on an extern website. The problem is that most of the time I take some free time on my job's office but I can't install any programm on this sealed computer (I'm working on "sensitive" files so the security do not allow any install).

 * huh. so now i see for myself it's impossible to get closer to inali while she's being vivisected. this means alternate judgment call: we use a picture of her while she's a husk instead. we did it for TIM, we can do it again.
 * i either use the inali husk pic already uploaded, you upload a good one and i use that instead, or you upload the source for File:Character_Inali_Renata.png and i'll see if i can work out a better cropping solution for that (i've tried coming up with something on File:Inali Renata Character article.png but you'd rather have her entire face and maybe upper body shown rather than sideways right).
 * yeah, the reason we recommend storing temporary files offsite is because storing here counts against the normal limit of 10 pics per user that aren't being used in articles. no matter, we're using your space for a good cause anyway and you can always request deletion of the source files any time for cleanup (i already got them saved).
 * @company computers: lol i can empathize. fortunately i got LOTS of leeway.
 * as for the turian's place, i'll just defer to community judgment. it's just curious we have cases like this (or udina in ME:inquisition) that presents too much ambiguity for the three categories of protagonists-allies-antagonists.


 * right, and before i forget again, i noticed you're structuring walkthroughs as if they're telling the story. well in a sense that's true, but remember that they're walkthroughs. you're supposed to put some tips on beating enemies using whichever tactics on location so-and-so in that particular mission. it doesn't need to be overly long, just tips that come at you while playing can suffice. trandra can help clean the majority up (or maybe me if i feel i got the gist of what you're trying to point out).

 * let me just plug some goatse-level holes in that "logic" there.


 * 1) i AM a senior ed in case the "reverted edits by x" doesn't clue you in. it doesn't have block powers but it's adequate enough for the job of reverting vandalism or sh- edits like yours on the fly. crap edits? yes, because obviously if you've understood our TL;DR strictures on the manual of style or if you've been learning how information is added or deleted in this wiki you wouldn't have made the edit that started this in the first place.
 * 2) this is a wiki. activity logs show everything. you undid my revert FIRST and asked questions later when accepted practice is vice versa. past experience shows this as a prelude to edit war and it's part of my job to preemptively warn you. guess whose judgment call people with block powers will side with. definitely not an "empty" threat as far as editing privileges are concerned.
 * 3) i am indirectly telling you about site policies which nobody ever reads. i suggest you do before things start getting unpleasant for you. apparently, doing my job is equal to "acting like a child".
 * other than that, do as you will. i could care less unless you start another incident based on your ignorant assumptions (and even then i'd probably let the higher-ups deal with you themselves).

So basically you did not find any holes in my logic you just are trying to justify your ability to call on admins while trying to explain the rules to me.And the reason you were, and to some extent, are acting like a child was due to you jumping to use a threat on me from the get go instead of just talking with me. Instead you reverted my edit giving no reason for it whatsoever, and when questioned on it you dished out a threat for no reasoning. You claim that you were not threatening me, it sure as hell seemed like you were threatening on getting an admin on me if I persisted on adding that edit. It was unnecessary and yes, childish. I should have perhaps talked with you before removing your revert, but you should have given reason as to why you found my edit to be worth removing. --Codeyy (talk) 06:49, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

not to come off as utterly condescending, but...
 * you're still hilariously incorrect on all counts.


 * 1) reverting edits is an automated process. there's literally no room to type in reasons because the system won't let you, and it's better that way because edits reverted are almost always borne of vandalism, ignorance, or utter fail. the latter two of which you're continuing to show.
 * 2) you're in the wrong. period. scanning your edit history, you've ALMOST always been in the wrong. if you didn't undo the revert, i wouldn't have added the warning. simple as that. and still you insist on blowing this up. talk about drama.
