User talk:Archlords

Hiya Archlords and welcome to the Forgotten Realms wiki. I saw you and DW having a sort of conversation in the commit summaries so I thought I'd drop you a line here and save you some trouble. Please take a few minutes to look at the policy guidelines. I wish someone had told me this before I jumped in and started editing because I still have some things to fix that I didn't do right the first time. You asked specifically about past tense and yes, with few exceptions, we try to write everything in past tense as if it occurred 1,000 years ago. Eventually everything will be in the past and there's no use going back and rewriting it again. Plus, not everyone uses the same edition of D&D (I'm primarily a 2nd edition player) and so I think it is helpful to write most things as a history so when new editions come out with new information we can just add it to the history. DMs and players can place their characters at any point in history and have an adventure. Have fun!&mdash;Moviesign 16:21, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
