Hi, welcome to Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Faerûn page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- SkyeNiTessine (Talk) 03:01, 8 April 2009

Welcome!
Well met, Zeromaru X, and welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the Tymanchebar page. We hope you like the place and decide to stay and explore the Forgotten Realms with us.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful, that explain who we are and what we do and how we do it. You should find these a useful reference, or maybe they could give you some ideas for something to do.

It's our goal to be a complete and reliable encyclopaedia of the official Forgotten Realms in all its forms, and a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and dungeon masters. As such, we do not accept fan fiction, homebrew lore, and player characters. All information added to this wiki must be attributed to an official source. Information must not be copied from sourcebooks and novels. Please always give a source for your information, and explain what you've done in the "summary" box.

We hope you enjoy editing here. Please sign your messages on Talk and Forum pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, please leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the administrators about things.

Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

Tymanchebar
Hi, welcome back to the wiki.

Thanks for your article, Tymanchebar. It looks like you've made a good start and have a good grasp of our policies and wiki style. Some of us will make some further tweaks to the article later when you're done with it.

But you've made about twelve edits in less than an hour. :p Rather than clicking Publish with every change, I recommend using the Preview button, so you can see how an article looks and consider if there's anything else you want to add to it. This saves the wiki's histories and logs getting cluttered with just your changes, and it's easier for us to sort through if we need to. — BadCatMan (talk) 06:03, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Draconic
I am happy to see that you intend to expand my Draconic dictionary article! I am the main linguistic article guy around here, so feel free to discuss any ideas you have with me regarding language articles. Welcome! ~ Lhynard (talk) 23:49, April 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, and thanks for the welcome. Well, for the Draconic language article, I was thinking mainly to update it with new words from the novels of Erin M. Evans. According to those (specially Ashes of the Tyrant), abeiran draconic have differences in pronunciations and some words, but for the rest both versions of draconic are completely compatible. Miss Evans also listed lots of both torilian and abeiran draconic words in her webpage, but reading the Canon article I don't know if we can post them in the wiki. --Zeromaru X 00:19, April 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's great! I was actually thinking of asking you to do that, (add Ms. Evans' stuff,) because I do not have access to her novels.


 * As far as dialects, what I've done on other dictionary pages is indicate it like this, for example:


 * ahsukk : Iulutiun dialect: a board composed of members from each village council to arbitrate in trade disputes during trade fairs
 * ...(from Ulutiun dictionary,) which gives this:


 * ahsukk : Iulutiun dialect: a board composed of members from each village council to arbitrate in trade disputes during trade fairs[1]


 * You are correct that we can't count her blog as canon. However, we can (and I think should) give her relevant blog articles as external links in the appendix of both the dictionary and the article for Draconic language.

 * P.S.: I know it's not the custom on Wikipedia, but on this wiki, we tend to keep conversations in the same place, instead of doing tag-backs on talk pages.


 * Oh, sorry for that :p. I saw you also posted about Dragon Magazine 248. Can we use the magazines as canon source? Because Dragon Magazine 260 has a lot of draconic words and a guide to name dragons. --Zeromaru X 05:21, April 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, Dragon articles are canon too. ~ Lhynard (talk) 05:48, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
