Some advice
Hi 7th Scribe! Welcome to the wiki. Thanks for your articles, you've made a good start. Please check out the above welcome message for some general advice and links to helpful resources and policies.

I've checked over two of your new articles, Fayed and Nebbish, and made several changes. Check out the revision history to see the specific changes. From these, I have some specific advice for you.

First, write in an in-universe point-of-view. Don't talk about side-quests and characters, but rather describe what happens as a person would in the setting. Similarly, focus the topic on Fayed, rather than the PCs. We're a lore wiki, not a gaming wiki. If you'd like to write more about the gaming side, the Baldur's Gate Wiki includes Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance but has doesn't done much on it.

Second, write in past tense. With the setting always evolving, these characters in 1372 DR will all be dead by the 4e era of 1479 DR and the 5e era of 1491 DR or so. To avoid updating everything constantly, we write in past tense.

Third, I've added categories and made some small style and formatting changes for consistency. Check these out and some of the more developed character articles on the wiki for more ideas.

I had a question: what's the name of the thieves guild in the game? I don't think they're just called "Thieves Guild". If you can find a name, try using that instead. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:49, April 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * By the way, I'm going to put Fayed in the Realmslore feature on the Main Page, so watch for it next week. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:50, April 22, 2017 (UTC)
