Palace of the Purple Emperor
Hi! Welcome to the wiki. It looks like you've gotten off to a fine start. :)

On Palace of the Purple Emperor, you put a lot of lines marked, so I wondered: why add them if you don't have a source? If they're from Darkvision, why not just add that? So, please make everything you add is properly cited.

BTW, I noticed you've been making a lot of edits, just small changes a minute or a few minutes apart. While that's not a problem, it tends to really stretch out edit histories, as you can see here. You can use the Show Preview button to see how things look before saving, and the website is stable enough you don't have to do that constantly. You can also tag a page with Working if it's something you want to come back to later.

Anyway, let us know if you have any questions or issues. BadCatMan (talk) 05:18, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi!
 * Yeah, I was wondering if that was gonna be a problem with the edits. I'll try to condense my edits to a single one, wherever possible. As for the citations, I can cite the chapter in the book accurately, but I am certain the page numbers do not correspond to the ones in my edition.


 * There's only one thing I don't have a citation for yet. Ususi discovers the Palace of the Purple Emperor can be moved around the world; shortly after, we know a tower appearsin Mulhorandi, around which Ususi founds High Imaskar. What I don't have is a citation that Skyclave and the PPE are the same tower- for all I know, she could have found a different teleporting tower through the Celestial Nadir, or even built one herself.


 * Thanks for your attention. I'll try to at least continue the accretion of Imaskari material.


 * I'm pretty sure that I read it somewhere in this wiki that Ususi did use the Palace for skyclave, I'll go hunt for the right splatbook myself somewhere later.


 * Oh, one last thing. I've seen some citations used as several consecutive pages, I'm considering doing that for "the grand history of the realms": Imaskar does things in every page from 16 to 37, and that's probably making the citations look a little more grand than they specifically need to be. Likewise, there's a page break in the section of Deep Imaskar in "Underdark", that's probably a little overboard to cite each page separately.


 * Also, the Imaskari timeline is repeated in several books. Underdark, Lost Empires, The Grand History, all give similar dates for a thing- and now that I've done some hunting, older books do too. I've been trying to hunt them all down, but I'm considering now that if none conflicts, sticking with the latest book might be enough- point out exceptions, not rules.


 * Thoughts?

 * P.S: one last thing we should see about is Maskana. Currently the date of construction is listed as -2100, and I get that, it's 3500 years before 1372 DR, but if Maskana was built during the rebellion on top of an older fortress, that has to have happened in -2488. The Mulhorandi Rebellion was very, very quick, the gods only got there one year before, and by -2488 the Imaskari fell. Shall I make a note of that, maybe, in the date?

Page Numbers
Hey there. Thanks for your recent contributions and articles. However, the page numbers are not correct throughout. For example, in the Demiplane of Imprisonment article, the page numbers from Manual of the Planes 1st edition and A Guide to the Ethereal Plane and not right. I'm guessing you are looking at the PDF page numbers instead of the actual page numbers? Please correct this. Also can you add Realms sources that state that it's called the Demiplane of Time Demiplane of Imprisonment? i.e., Netheril: Empire of Magic. Thanks once again! ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 03:33, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Oh, thank you! Might as well check it out! It is shiny! Stabbier (talk) 21:18, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Greetings! I noticed most, if not all, of the new pages you create do not have an infobox associated with them. Could you please try to add those when creating new pages? I added an infobox to the Corlaen Datharathi page from the "template:person" so you can see what I'm talking about. Artemaz (talk) 18:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, Artemaz. I avoid the boxes when I think the pickings are too thin to justify the infobox. In the case you showcased, all I have about Corlaen Datharathi is that he's called Corlaen Datharathi, he's from Durpar, and that he's a man. If you feel it would be best, I can be less picky about which articles I give infoboxes to? Stabbier (talk) 23:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

DEFAULT SORT
Don't forget to add the "default sort" template on new pages that you create so person pages are correctly alphabetized with other pages. It would look like this with two of the { } on either side: DEFAULTSORT:Last name, First name Artemaz (talk) 11:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
