new to FR wiki
I'm new to the FR wikia, but I am a compulsive reader, especially concerning Year of the Rogue Dragons and The Last Mythal. Any specific things you want me to work on, or just get editing? Bizzarechipmonk 14:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Referencing
Hey dude, could you give us some idea where your getting the information your inputting. I know it's kosher, but even a hint of where it's from would allow me to backfill with references. Hurtzbad 10:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, wasn't meant to be taken as a complaint. You don't need to do the inline referencing, but if you could do a cite book at the end or even just type the name of the book at the end and someone will complete it as a cite book. Hurtzbad 11:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Past tense for History sub-sections?
I noticed you modified the Star elf article recently to change it so that it the History sub-section is now in the past tense. It reads a little odd now, to my eye. For example: "In -6950 DR[2] star elves began to gather in the Yuirwood..." followed shortly thereafter by "In -900 DR the elves begin to notice...". Since we're making it clear what year we're in ("In xxx DR..."), does it not seem more appropriate to then speak in the present tense?

Also, a practical reason to keep everything in the present tense (along with being specific as to the actual date) is because the current date can no longer be assumed. Some readers will assume a 3.5E setting, and other readers will assume a 4e setting. Therefore, it's often times easier to write everything in the present tense and to just be specific when things occured. See the articles on Mystryl and Mystra for examples, both of which are written in the present tense though both deities eventually die at a specific date.

Discussion on Canon
Hey, can you wander over here, and give your opinion. I personally would not want to do anything without knowing that you had contributed to this conversation. Hurtzbad 08:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Chantea in Wa
Hey there. If I'm right, you added the paragraph to the Chauntea article about the cult of Chantea in Wa. I was wondering where that information came from. I checked the three sources at the bottom of that article, but can't find any references within. (On another note, I may be able to help you out with some of the sourcebooks you're missing, if you're interested.) --Feegle 13:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if that was a retcon... As to the books, email me at feegle-at-mathninja-dot-com and I'll see if I have anything you're looking for. --Feegle 21:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Help!
Hi, I saw you nominated my user page for deletion about an hour ago, which is fine, but I'd prefer to have my question answered first. Just to reiterate:


 * I can't stay logged in
 * I do have cookies enabled
 * Wikipedia help says to use a secure login to bypass the problem.
 * I can't find the secure login for this wikia or the portals over from wikipedia.

Please help. Thanks.

-House of Crescanti


 * Wikimedia has a secure server, which you can use to establish a secure connection to their sites, but afaik Wikia doesn't have such a server, so there is no secure login available. But try ask some place like Yahoo answers or some such instead. Also, tried clearing all your cookies out? Or googling the phrase "keep getting logged out".. –Zeraktalk 21:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Problem reports
Hi there, did you know that some of the users of this wiki have reported some problems? You can view them at Special:ProblemReports. Its a great system for users to mark pages with various types of problems to bring them to the attention of admins. Often they are about the subject of the wiki, and only someone from the wiki can make the knowledgeable decision on how to fix the page.

Its a fairly simple system for admins to use. You click the magnify glass icon to show the reported problem for each ticket. The icons on the right change the status of the report. The green check mark icon is for "Fixed", you use this if you read the report, and changed something on the page to fix the reported problem, (or deleted it, if its a vandal/spam report), or anything that "Fixes" the problem. The red X icon is for "closed", this is for reports that are false/jokes, or things that are not really a problem. The yellow triangle will mark a report for need help by Wikia Staff, it is used when there is something wrong with the wiki that you cannot fix here with editing pages, such as menus not working, or skin problems, or anything beyond your control. Use it sparingly, as there are many wikis, and our time is limited, but dont be afraid to use it either, we dont want you to have a broken wiki for too long. The last icon is for returning a report back to an open or 'Pending' state if you accidentally used one of the first 3 icons.

If you are using the Monaco skin, there is a ProblemReport widget you can add to your sidebar, so you can see as soon as problems are reported. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask on my talk page, I'll be glad to help you help your wiki.

Spoilers
You seem like you might know - has there been a discussion about spoiler warnings? What page would that be on? I'd like to have seen it. Ville V. Kokko 09:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

inaccuracy or reference needed for two lines in Drizzt's page
Hi Hashimashadoo,

Is this either an inaccuracy or can you provide a reference (at least a book name) for the following two lines in Drizzt's page? The following are lines in Background -> Formative years.

Five years before Drizzt became a full house noble, he met Lolth herself, but being so young he merely thought he'd met an extremely beautiful lady with a dress made of spiders. His family were instructed by his mother to not explain the event as she believed him too young to understand.

Thank you, Thurinalas 07:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
