User talk:Ebakunin

Welcome to the Realms wiki Ebakunin :) Zerak talk 09:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the wiki. Thanks for your contributions so far, and I'm looking forward to having yet another regular editor around here! Fw190a8 11:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Images
Very dedicated work on your little image-crusade, made me feel rather sloppy, thanks for cleaning up after me :o) Zerak talk 22:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

isbn parameter
Please don't change the "isbn" parameter to "ISBN" on the Book template. This will cause the template to break. Fw190a8 23:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Getting things deleted
You can use the Deletion template if you need to have an article deleted. It will put the article in a special category that the admins check every so often. If it's urgent, feel free to leave a note on either Zerak-Tul's talk page or my talk page! Fw190a8 07:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Glad to help! Johnnyriot999 06:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Whoa!!!!
How did you find out so much about The Orc King? Thanks for cleaning it up! DrizztTheSlayer 00:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Could you take a look at this?
I goofed up the references for Akh'Faer's page. Could you tell me what I did wrong? Thanks Wenin 22:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove the link to the Blades of Faerûn from SKR's entry? —MJBurrage • TALK  • 22:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response, I have accidentally deleted lines myself now and then. Just wanted to make sure there was not some other reason before putting it back. —MJBurrage • TALK  • 11:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Carsomyr/Category:Greatswords
Seriously, I'm curious. If there exists a category for greatswords, why would you decide an individual greatsword doesn't belong to that? All these hundreds of categories are pretty empty as it is. Ville V. Kokko 08:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Person template
Unfortunately I can't seem to make the 'class' parameter optional without breaking the template, but I did add the 'rules' parameter, so you can use that to show which version of the rules should be applied to the person. Until a solution can be found, perhaps you could use 'N/A' for any people who don't have a class? Fw190a8 10:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Citation format
You recently stripped all the citations from the Amlaruil Moonflower article. One of the main aims of FR-Wiki is to provide a quick reference to over 30 years of source material. One of its main criticisms is that it does not cite its sources, so it is not possible to verify the information. This is the main reason for carefully citing articles. It's not enough to simply provide the name of a book with a citation. Who is going to look through an entire sourcebook in search of a specific statement? On the other hand, by providing the page numbers it's easy for someone to go straight to the information they're looking for.

I accept that this might well differ from the way things work over at Wikipedia, and there is no official policy on citation formatting here, so if you do disagree please feel free to either create a proposal, or maybe simply a forum post to open up the issue for discussion.

I did actually revert a few other changes so I think I should explain my rationale on those.
 * For article and section names, it's usual to capitalize only the first letter of the first word, unless other words would normally have a capital letter in open prose, such as place or person names.
 * Categories form somewhat of a hierarchy in some situations, so rather than putting all the characters in a "characters" category, which would result in a category with thousands of articles, each person is in one of a number of categories of types such as hometown, class and race, so that if a reader were to think "I wonder who else came from the same town as this person," the information is easily accessible.

I hope this doesn't come across like a personal attack because it definitely isn't intended to be one at all! Fw190a8 21:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Great Treasures of Evermeet
You have deleted a reference from this page without any form of explanation. I have reverted this edit. Fw190a8 12:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
