User talk:Bloodtide

Welcome to the wiki. Please have a quick look at the Forgotten Realms Wiki:No crunch policy&mdash;we don't list any crunchy rule-based details like how many d6s of damage things do. Also no text should be copied directly from any copyrighted sources&mdash;the text should be written yourself and referenced. Thanks. Fw190a8 21:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Citing sources
I noticed you began the Whitlock Brandish article with this edit, but even though you created the sections for "Notes" and "References", you didn't provide any citations. A lot of people have criticised this wiki for being unreliable, so we have come up with the Help:Citing sources guide so that all of our articles can be well sourced, and will stand up to any arguments of unreliability. If you have any trouble with citations, just give me or Zerak a shout on our talk pages and we'll be glad to help! Fw190a8 14:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Wiki went down for 'mantanice' or something and all I got was an error page before I could finish them. (Bloodtide)


 * That's cool. Good job on going back and fixing them up. Please put a page number with your reference when you can, so that it's easy for people to find more information in their sourcebooks. For example:

This would give page 193 along with the citation. Fw190a8 20:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Stubs
Honestly I didn't realize I was doing that so pease don't think that I was singling your articles out or anything. As for not adding the template to the articles I've created, I am sure most of them are only going to be stubs; the few that I knew (or suspected) could use more info I added the stub template to them. If you think any of the articles I've created could use more information, please feel free to either add it or apply the template to it. Again, please dont think I was intentionally going after your articles while avoiding my own, it was merely an oversight on my behalf. Regardless, I'll take what you've said into account.

 * It's all good, I can see how some newer members might feel they're not getting a fair shake sometimes. By the way, I think it's been really helpful how you've been creating alot of the requested articles. Nice to see helpful contributions like that. Cheers! Johnnyriot999 18:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Requested Article
Actually, according to this page and this one, Mythrellan is the zulkir of illusion. Cheers! Johnnyriot999 10:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Happy 4th of July
Cheers to America, Bloodtide! Johnnyriot999 04:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Kudos
Nice job with the Gray Hands category and all the related articles, you really seem to be getting the hang of the structure and formatting. Keep up the good work! Johnnyriot999 07:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

"4e" Wiki?
I still have no idea what you're talking about. I'm in favor of only updating things so that they are factually relevant and up-to-date canonically. In regards to Gehenna, as I posted in the talk page there, the Blood Rift isn't even mentioned in 4e and my merge proposal has nothing to do with 4e. Rather - it has to do with the fact that they are exactly the same plane - or so the article claims. If they are not than someone needs to point that out in the article. Otherwise it seems like we have two articles about the Blood Rift, the home plane of yugoloths.

In regards to nagas, I have deleted nothing. I couldn't if I wanted to - I don't have the authority as an admin. All I have done is update their creature categorization so it matches that currently being used. Aberration and immortal both mean something very specific now canonically. An aberration is specifically related either directly or indirectly to the Far Realm and an immortal is a creature with its origins tied to the Astral Sea and the astral dominions. This is not edition-bias except so in far as any new canon revealed by 4e is edition-biased. It is no more edition-biased than listing a god's spell domains, when these did not exist in previous editions or than using the 2e-3.5 alignment system rather than OD&D or 4e's alignment system. Note that I haven't done anything to change the alignment system.

Claims that I'm trying to 4e-ize this wiki are baseless, as evidenced by my work on articles that have nothing to do with 4e - such as many of the NWN2 articles. NWN2 is a 3.5-based game and I have worked hard on many of the articles related to it. So stop with your straw man constructions that somehow, I'm somehow conspiring against 3e and 3.5.Niirfa-sa 04:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
