:* ...although, from reading some of the comments and forums, there does seem to be a bit of un-necessay attitude in responding to certain queries, a lot of people don't have the time or experience in games or using search engines such as this, like others, and it seems a little condescending how responses have been worded at times, I don't know if that's administrators or other users, but there seems to be a lack of etiquette at times, but some gamers / nerds just have bad attitudes in general. >; )
:* A certain individual gave a negative impression (rude, unappreciative). Other all ok.
:* A few overzealous editors seen on talk pages have put me off making an account so far, but overall very positive.
:* A lot of times they'll instantly ghost edit your post, often completely removing the point of the edit itself, i.e. describing the difficulty of a particular action, or explaining the best choice for a quest item

:* The discussion pages are always extremely helpful to look at when the subject is some type of game mechanic.
:* the editors and administrators are the flesh and blood of the imformation on the UESP's website, without them we wouldnt really know anything.
:* The editors/administrators have done a very good job working together and putting together an excellent wiki where all our Elder Scrolls questions can be answered and where we can find advice on how to create characters or finish quests.

:* The little experience has been good.

:* They are very helpful
:* They are very respectful, generous, and spend much time adding information to the site.

:* They're helpful.
:* they're okay, I have the sense they are not looking at older games any more
:* They're very knowledgeable on Elder Scrolls and are very cooperative.
:* This goes specifically for the the Wiki admins, more specifically Nephele.  My experiences with certain officials (though not all, by any means) on the forums was far less satisfactory.
:* This is a grammatical 'train-wreck' of a question, but the admins have been very good at keeping page content supervised and consistent.
:* UESP's administration seems to have a level head on their shoulders, and from what I've seen, approaches normal wiki problems and maintenance very effectively. It's one of the best wikis.

:* Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure.
:* Unsure

:* Very helpful when i first joined, and if I have a question, they are always helpful, answering my questions concisely and clearly.
:* very nice people
:* Very professional on the most part. Very knowledgeable about the TES universe also.
:* Very willing to help and guide me as I got used to editing and using a wiki.
:* Well, I dont interact with em. All I need I can easily find here by myself.
:* what?
:* Wiki editors are not easy to reach for us Forum admins. AKB and Kiz (departed?), however, were fabulous.
:* yet to contribute to pages or forums (always beaten to it :) )
:* you always correct mistakes and never stop to make pages as accurate as possible and i think its good that editors as yourselves work DAILY to keep the site clean and update as possible thats very impressing
:* You can't pick editors and most are good or I haven't met them, but like everywhere else, the crazies shout loudest
:* You know what i haven't talked to any lately but i'm sure they would be just as helpful as the website.
