Plagiarism
Hi! Thanks for the edits so far, and welcome.

Just wanted to let you know, the page you created, Rocking horse, contains text that has been copied right from source. We can't allow this on the wiki.

Could you re-write the offeding text please? Thanks!

 * Yes Totally, I am quite new here and am figuring things out. Sorry about the Plagiarism.

Warning for False Information
Welcome to the wiki. Thanks for your additions, but please note we do not accept copied text and false or homebrew information. For example, Masakito Matsutomo does not have any stats provided, so you labeling him as lawful good is completely speculative. Please read the information and links above for more about the FRW's policies. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 02:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Got it, I found a AD&D trading card of Masakito and thought I would add in his alignment. Being a little different, the AD&D Trading cards might have been referencing a different Masakito.


 * Anyway, thank you a lot for the tips.

 * Then you should try to cite that card or discuss it then, rather than adding it without a source or explanation. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 15:18, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. I will add it in and cite it, also adding a note about how it might or might not be the same person.


 * Thanks for your help. Erdan the Ranger (talk) 15:35, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Images
Please do not upload images of full cards. It is considered a copyright violation. If you want upload it, please crop the text and the borders out first. Also, see edits i've made to Allisa and the image of hers you've uploaded. See the citations i've reformatted and added. You can imitate that format going forward. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 16:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Wow, Thanks. I could never have made her description better. I will not upload anymore full card art onto the Wiki. And thank you for reinforcing the claim that she had two different Unicorn mounts. Erdan the Ranger (talk) 16:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Unrelated Content
What is "Alagarthas the Elf Prince"'s connections to the realms? Please do not add unrelated articled to the wiki. Correction: Alagarthas already has a page. Please make sure the page you're creating is relevant to the realms and that it doesn't already exist on the wiki. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 18:29, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It said in WBtW that Alagarthas was from the Misty Forest which is found in the realms. About redirecting the article I forgot to check if their existed a page for him. Sorry. - Erdan the Ranger (talk) 18:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Great! Glad to hear you're keeping these things in mind. -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep. I am learning. I feel like I have made a lot of wrong things, but you guys are always there to correct me. A big thank you to the Admiration Team! - Erdan the Ranger (talk) 19:15, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Capitalization
Just a note: Don't capitalize race names, it's just done for ethnicities. (your recent edits had "Aboleth" capitalized, possibly other errors too.) -Artyom.pavlov (talk) 17:17, 11 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Got it, I was inserting links which turned into capitalized words. From now on I will make sure to keep all race names lower case. Thank you for the correction. - Erdan the Ranger (talk) 17:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Church of Tymora
Hiya Erdan! Please know for the wiki-wide Year of Miracles project, we plan on making full articles for current red links such as church of Tymora, or others like church of Tempus and church of Chauntea. It is preferred not to redirect articles like these to their respective deity articles. They do however take quite a bit of work to complete thoroughly, using dozens of sources and hundreds of citations.

If you feel up to tackling a broad-scope article like that one, I'd be happy to assist and co-write an article with you. Just let me know! I am currently sprucing up the chuch of Helm article that I started about 4 years ago - it's definitely not up to the wiki's current standards. Ruf (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Sadly I have neither the experience nor the sources to complete such an article. Maybe in a half a year or so, after creating minor articles with little to no flaws I might tackle a big article such as Church of Tymora. I have also contributed to the Ravenloft Wiki a big bit (along with BadCatMan), who has also helped me become a better Wiki editor and member. I thank you very much for encouragement.


 * Addition: I skimmed over the Church of Lathander article which you have been working on and can truly see the time and sources needed to complete such a long article. Right now I have few resources available but I will start to compile all of the books, video game lore, and sources about the Church of Tymora and take on this big project along with you. At the moment though I must lay off for a while for too big projects. I hope you understand.


 * I love the Admin Team here, you guys are just amazing, very helpful, and tolerant of reoccurring mistakes I make. - Erdan the Ranger (talk) 16:12, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
