message: Isn't the elder scroll used by the gray fox to remove the curse from his cowl? That's the impression I got. I won't go editing it until someone verifies that, though. --PrettyMuchBryce 11:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The spell placed on the cowl by Nocturnal totally obliterated your identity. You were the only one that even remembered you existed. Removal of the cowl didn't effect this. You were still stricken from history. Now, you are no longer stricken from history-the cowl simply magically conceals your identity. This cloaking ends upon removal of the cowl. --Umlautbob 08:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gray Fox's Cursed Cowl 

message: I have an image of the Elder Scroll stolen at the behest of the Gray Fox. It can be read like any other scroll, but no legible text. Two questions: How do I go about ascertaining copyright status, and, it being textless, should I even bother adding the image to the article? --Umlautbob 08:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Too much attention should probably not be given to the scrolls, but rather on the series as a whole (my view anyway). --Scoo 09:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Screenshots are fair use for most purposes. However, yeah, being textless, it's probably not worth including. - DewiMorgan (talk) 20:45, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I have some information I added to the article, but I realized I don't remember where I got it from. Including the planned edit and wondering if anyone can confirm it.
"Each reading imparts profound wisdow, yet apparently leaves the reader temporarily blind. Each reading of the Scrolls leads to a more profound understanding than the last, yet leaves the subject blind for a longer period. Eventually, one can achieve near-perfect understanding of the scroll, but is rendered totally and permanently blind." --Umlautbob 21:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey folks,
The Library is no longer with gamingsource and we now have our own domain:
http://imperial-library.info/
I've updated this page, now I hope somebody will be so kind to update all the other links on wikipedia. The substructure of the library has remained the same so you can just swap about the domain.

message: Any reason that "Light Armor" redirects here? Was looking for a page on light tanks and armored vehicles. This page doesn't mention anything about it either. -Ratclaw (talk) 06:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Some time ago, there was an article that described the "Light Armor" skill in various iterations of the Elder Scrolls series. It was (justly) considered non-notable and deleted.

message: I added a Fan page to the fan page section of the TES wiki.  It seemed relevant to me... But it has been taken down?  Are we only allowing 2 fan pages?  All it linked to was a fan page that collects info on the next game.  They listed sources and such.  I was so happy when I found this page I thought that I would share it.  I won't link it here unless asked for it.  Just feel a bit like I wasted my time. DisAfecT (talk) 03:36, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm just wondering, is it possible that "Battlespire" and "Redguard" sold poorly becuase they were released on DOS? Battlespire was released in '97, but I've noticed games that were already released on PC in '95 and '96. I'm pretty sure that people would've prefered PC over MS-DOS. But I'm no expert.--The Rogue Leader 06:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

TESV is NOT officialy announced or confirmed, so stop writing false information about his release date. Bethesda haven't clearly confirmed that the game is in production.
Also, 98.21.75.5 vandalized the article by changing some words. Please, stop it.

message: I see that this article needs more sources. Would it be possible to cite the books that appear ingame? It's quite unorthodox, but that's where most of the lore and descriptions are given. The only other places they are published is in the Elder Scrolls wiki.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brightgalrs (talk • contribs) 21:48, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Fans tend to be a bit...biased since those of us whove read such books (theres a lot of them) tend to be really into it. However, a better well of lore can be found at http://www.imperial-library.info/ This allows searches through all the literature posted in game, plus in-character writeups by developers which may or may not reflect established lore. Its a far better place to look for such things; the elder scrolls wiki is way beyond the scope of this article (thats why its a wiki,) but the library may work well. 96.28.157.126 (talk) 05:36, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question: 

message: "one of several alternate dimensions ruled by immortal god-like beings known as Daedra Princes" Is this line in for clarity and simplicity, rather than accuracy? Because thats not quite how it works. Oblivion is the void in which Nirn floats. The 'planets', and Nirn itself, are the way mortals comprehend deities. For instance, the Deadlands (in ES4) are *literally* the infinite expanse that makes up Mehrunes Dagon, while Nirn is the equally infinite remains of Lorkhan.
The worlds appear as spheres because thats how mortals can conceive of them. But the daedra are not gods, not really. They'er a chaos-spawned series of 'beings' while the Aedra are much closer to what would be considerd deities, and unlike the daedra, the only visible connection Aetherius has is by the stars in the sky.
So is this omitted on purpose due to confusion or was it omitted unintentionally? I would like to know before i change it what people thing. 96.28.157.126 (talk) 05:32, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "In the storyline, one of the scrolls was used in ancient times to cast off Alduin, the evil dragon, to the future, although not intentionally. Also, the scrolls cause a stop in time, meaning that ever since it was used on Alduin, time has essentially stopped to the era the game takes place in."
What does that last sentence mean? I have played this game and am not sure if it is factually correct, if I am accurately discerning its meaning. Dibbun (talk) 08:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Um... Can somebody explain this> "The Elder Scrolls: Arena was released in 1969 for DOS PC fleshligts. The game was intended for rapists to assume the role of a little girl, but development shifted the game into a role-playing game (RPG).[1] This game began the tradition based on the principle of "[being] who you want and [doing] what you want"[1] that persisted throughout the series' history."

message: The "lead too short" template was added in September 2012 (not sure why someone "updated" it this year) and since then the lead was expanded from this:
:The Elder Scrolls (abbreviated as TES) is an action role-playing open world video game series developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
to this:
:The Elder Scrolls is a series of action role-playing open world fantasy video games primarily developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The series is known for their elaborate and richly-detailed open worlds and its focus on free-form gameplay. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim all won Game of the Year awards from multiple outlets.
Seems good enough to me.  Can we remove the template?

message: The line:
"The ruling dynasty throughout the Third Era consisted entirely of the descendants of Tiber Septim."
Is false. Tiber Septim had no children and upon his death the throne passed to his brother, Pelagius Septim.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.135.164.254 (talk) 07:06, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Tiber Septim did have children. It's explicitly stated in the in-game book Brief History of the Empire, Book I that Pelagius Septim was his grandson and I don't know what gave you the idea that it was his brother. Now Pelagius, on the other hand, did not have any children and his first cousin took over. But a first cousin still comes from the same grandfather's line. I'm realize now that wasting time though.

message: I hereby propose that a new page is created for the world of the Elder Scrolls, similarly to how we have pages for the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, Middle-earth, or the fictional universe of Harry Potter. In my opinion, the Elder Scrolls series is quite renowned and well-known, and is notable enough for its lore to have its own article that would go over the provinces, races, background, and other things.
