Forgotten Realms Wiki talk:Article for improvement

Misc. comments
So, are people feeling up for this? If so, we could have a straw-poll for September's selected article.

(alternatively, it could be selected category, or topic, instead of just a single article, if people feel for that, discuss!) Zerak-Tul 20:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Here's a list of articles I feel could use some improvement and that I would like to see improved: Moonshae Isles Evermeet Amn Thay

Know that I might go in and expand the Moonshae Isles on my own anyway --Elessar 21:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Forgotten Realms would be an obvious candidate as well, as it currently just redirects to the FRCS source book. Zerak-Tul 04:50, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Which, coincidentally just has a picture and a stub template. --hash

A decision needs to be made today guys. It's the 31st, unless you plan on letting the decision wait for another week or two, we can have the article for september improved by time it's november! and octobers by time its december! --Elessar 18:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright Forgotten Realms, anyone opposed? Zerak-Tul 19:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, no opposition(I hope not anyway), so Forgotten Realms, it is! Yay! we now have our September Article for Improvement. --Elessar 00:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

October Article
Come on guys, let's get on the case this time! We need to group together and make the October article as good as it can possibly be. With the recent release of Dragons of Faerûn, I'd like to nominate dragons as the October article! We're already pretty far into October so if nobody has any other suggestions by the end of the weekend (end of Sunday 8th October) I'll "be bold" and make this into October's article.

 * While I agree we need a topic asap, I think something that has just been released may not be a prime candidate, merely because most people will probably not own the book yet, and then have no way of adding much content, except for just reading the short previews at the Wizards page, but that'd shine through in the article. (for the reference, I don't own this supplement :)). Zerak-Tul 22:44, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, even with a topic as wide as Forgotten Realms (:O) we still got no more than 4 edits, 2-3 of which was primarily maintenance/grammar edits, come on people, we can do better! Zerak-Tul 22:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I vote for Races of Forgotten Realms. Everybody pick thier favorate race and add something to it. I've started on Humans. Have a look and enjoy Hurtzbad 10:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

February 2007 Article
It's only really Zerak-Tul and I that are active at the moment, so we've decided on Forgotten Realms for further improvement, because last time it sucked (not to take away from the efforts of anyone good enough to contribute)! Let's make this the best page on the whole wiki. Fw190a8 23:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

March 2007 Article
Suggestions? Fw190a8 16:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Lolth, War of the Spider Queen.. 83.94.213.105 17:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Above IP was me :) Zerak talk 17:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

April 2007 Article
I'd like to propose something a bit different. How about a drive to create reference pages for all of the Forgotten Realms source books? Wenin 18:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd like to further your suggestion. How about during April, we judge it on sheer number of reference pages created for the Forgotten Realms sourcebooks (any edition), core rulebooks (things like the Monster Manual, any edition) and the Forgotten Realms novels. A proper 'creation' could be the creation of the page itself and the citation template, so for example, Manual of the Planes paired with Cite book/Manual of the Planes. The cover art must also feature on the book's page. I'd also suggest maintaining a list of your own creations on your user page so that it's easy to see who has created what. Fw190a8 21:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Also, just a suggestion, perhaps you can message the current active users when this is updated so those of us who dont regularly check, or arent familiar with, the AFI page can be notified. Johnnyriot999 02:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * How about making Help:Creating and using citation templates the article for improvement? :) 87.54.1.103 15:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I should log in when editing from internet cafés, lol.. Anyway, the page could also be named Help:Citations templates or Help:Citations even, whichever works. But I still like the idea of creating all the citation templates - lot of work though, and a bit hard to organize. Zerak talk 15:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

May 2007 Article
I've been reading quite a bit about Cormyr lately and that article isn't really all that it could be. How about doing it for May? Fw190a8 23:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
