UESPWiki:Community Interviews/Damon

'''What's  your role around UESP?'''
:I'm a semi-retired Patroller, Blocker, Mentor, I hang around IRC as a consultant if somebody wants aid with something, and I am one of (at the time I appear to be the sole) manager of the UESP Facebook and Twitter pages. What I mean when I say I'm semi-retired is that while I don't edit every single day or commit to projects anymore, I still look at the wiki and my email daily and am still willing to actively mentor and communicate with users related to whatever they want my input on.

: On to what all these fancy ranks mean, basically, it's my job to verify that every edit made to the site is  professional, clean, and not vandalism as a Patroller, my blocker rights  enable me to give out temporary blocks in the event that an admin is unable  to respond to a serious issue and a temporary action needs to be made, as  a mentor, I am willing to answer any question that a new or experienced  UESPer wants to put forward, and as I said above, I post 90% or more of the content on the UESP Facebook and Twitter pages.
How long have you been involved?
:I have been involved with the  Wiki since September 2011, shortly after I purchased Oblivion.
'''What's your favorite part of the site?'''
:My favourite part of the site  has got to be the IRC network, because although not an actual part of the  uesp.net domain, it's still where we all can come together as friends and  interact with each other in a way that wouldn't necessarily be possible otherwise.
Favorite Elder Scrolls game? quest? faction?
:My favourite Elder Scrolls game  has to be Morrowind (TES 3). I got into that game and its deep, rich story  and culture in 2008 as my initial exposure to the series, and even though  other games look prettier now, it still holds that special, sentimental place  in my heart.
You meddled with the Daedric Princes, and now one NPC is forced to be your sidekick. Who would you choose?
:I would choose to have a  Telvanni mage at my side, preferably Aryon, since he is a young, but wise and  open wizard, and we could probably accomplish great (and evil) things  together.
Tell us one of your favorite things about Tamriel.
:The city of Vivec. It's such a  wondrous thing to be surrounded by high walls and water, and to see the  ultimate power of a demi-god through his act of suspending a meteor over the  city.
'''Tell us one thing that you've learned while being a member of UESP.'''
:Technically or series  related?

:I've learned almost all of my extensive MediaWiki knowledge through UESP,  as it's one of the few wikis I've stuck around for more than a week.

:Game related, I can't begin to say, because I've almost addictively studied  the lore of the series - even games I don't own - because I so greatly enjoy  the depth of the series and the effort Bethesda put in.
What  would you like to say to UESP readers and fans?
:I want to put in the usual  shameless plug that we are second to none to other Elder Scrolls related  sites, because we have extensive knowledge of everything TES, whereas others  don't usually have everything, only the most   recent things.
:And, a shameless plug that I'll be your mentor, if you want me to walk you  through things to do on the site, should you be interested in helping us to  continue to make UESP the greatest source for The Elder Scrolls. New users, I  swear I don't bite... Much ;)
