User talk:Belin Brightforge

Welcome!
Well met, Belin Brightforge, and welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the Most Careful Order of Skilled Smiths and Metalforgers page. We hope you like the place and decide to stay and explore the Forgotten Realms with us.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful, that explain who we are and what we do and how we do it. You should find these a useful reference, or maybe they could give you some ideas for something to do.

It's our goal to be a complete and reliable encyclopaedia of the official Forgotten Realms in all its forms, and a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and dungeon masters. As such, we do not accept fan fiction, homebrew lore, and player characters. All information added to this wiki must be attributed to an official source. Information must not be copied from sourcebooks and novels. Please always give a source for your information, and explain what you've done in the "summary" box.

We hope you enjoy editing here. Please sign your messages on Talk and Forum pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, please leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the administrators about things.

Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

RE: Adding Information
Hi Belin,

Yes, when it comes to adding lore to the wiki, we do insist that everything must be from a source that can be referenced. The wiki is for official lore only and having this policy helps to prevent homebrewed lore from being included. However, that lore doesn't have to be from a novel - it can be from a D&D sourcebook, a video game, or even a quote by a Forgotten Realms published author posted somewhere on the internet. Basically, we have to be able to look at the original source of the information and confirm that it is indeed there. If you have any more questions, please head over to our list of policies or contact one of the wiki administrators, a list of whom can be found here: Roster of Admins

Happy editing, -hashtalk 11:32, January 17, 2019 (UTC)
