Welcome!
Well met, Anjilicus. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your recent edit. We hope to see more great edits!

The FR Wiki aims to be a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and DMs. As you edit, please keep in mind these five important rules:
 * 1) Use only official sources—no homebrew!
 * 2) Do not copy text from these sources; use your own words.
 * 3) Write everything in narrative tense (past tense), just like any novel.
 * 4) Add citations for any statements that you make—at least one per paragraph.
 * 5) Avoid using the Visual Editor; use the Source Editor instead.

In case you need some help, here are some quick guides:
 * General help • Editing articles • Referencing and citing • Policies • Canon • Copyrights

…Or leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the other administrators about things.

We hope that you enjoy editing here. Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

Hi Anjilicus! Thank you for making such in-depth contributions, especially those taken from Dungeon magazine articles.

If I may I'd like to show you a bit about referencing. If you wanted to cite Dungeon magazine 170 for example you would add. " <ref name="DunMag.170-p.47-82 " to the end of a sentence or paragraph. The "47-82" page numbers would differ depending on where the info you cited actually appeared. As always, we cannot copy directly from source material.

If you would, please go ahead and add these citations to the articles you have already created. We appreciate the enthusiasm demonstrated by making a lot of new articles but each one we put up has to be fully referenced. Thank you! I look forward to sitting down and reading your contributions.

 * Follow up! By your own edit comment it seems Monument of the Ancients was mostly copied from the source. The wiki absolutely does not accept articles that have plagiarized from their sources.


 * Please edit the article using your own words and add references linking to your sources or it will have to be deleted. The same thing applies to the other articles you have added as well. Thank you. Ruf (talk) 09:55, June 17, 2020 (UTC)


 * In addition, please use infoboxes such as Location and Mountain for your pages, and remember to add references to each paragraph and even individual sentences to make all the sources clear, else information may be removed. And do feel free to research sourcebooks and stuff, not just what Ed says. I've made a bunch of changes to Abbey Mountains to demonstrate.


 * And please respond to messages here, or else you may be blocked. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:24, June 19, 2020 (UTC)

Hello;

My apologies to — BadCatMan, I did not see your entry on my Talk page until just now, and couldn't discern how otherwise to communicate with you.

So far, I have worked out placement of the inboxes & categories, and I'd been trying to cite every factual point I publish, while breaking out indirect facts to their own appropriate entries. Yesterday I'd been putting in stubs for Vaasan locales as I reworked content from Dungeon 177 to wikia spec, and planned to go back and update them with categories and inboxes after I'd completed the set and worked up a suitable template. The ban caught me as I was incorporating an update on Telos City.

The Monument of the Ancients entry should currently be rewritten to wikia spec, content wise; it probably needs dressing & categorizations though, likewise for the newer Anchor of Chaos entry.

Assuming I can, I will use the Abbey Mountain entry as well as the helpful revisions on the Frozen Flindyke entry, as baseline templates for future work.
