User talk:Geoffryn Kaladon

Welcome!
Well met, Geoffryn Kaladon, and welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the File:Geoffryn Kaladon.JPG 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!

Sorry, no fanon or home brew allowed
Hi there Geoffryn, this is a canon wiki and as such we don't take fanon or home brew articles. I will move your article into your user space so you don't lose it, but it can't stay in the main wiki space. Please review the policies that are linked in the message above and take a look around to see how things are done here. It will make your stay more enjoyable and productive. Thanks! &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:10, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * I put your page here. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:20, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * We don't do PCs, only NPCs. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:09, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

Furthermore, being a Forgotten Realms wiki, we don't accept Dragonlance lore or lore from other settings (except in the case of crossovers or specific references). Only Core D&D and FR lore. See our Canon policy for more details. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:11, February 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Dear Geoffryn, High admin BadCat has asked you politely to not upload non-canon or unreferenced material and images... your image of the Ring of protection 5e has been deleted a THIRD time... please refrain from uploading this image again... thank you. - Darkwynters (talk) 03:42, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

You never bothered to give a valid reason as to WHY you keep vandalizing my hard work! Don't worry about my uploading anything to your site, ever again. It's obvious you have a closed clubhouse here, and refuse to allow anyone to add anything creative to it.


 * As BadCat has stated... you can add lots to the wiki, but it cannot be copied, fan created, and must be referenced... think of all our editors as researchers and researchers must have data to prove their posts... so upload documented canon and rewrite your pages in your own words... and everything will be fine :) - Darkwynters (talk) 04:04, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

It seems we have a conflict between Law (a wiki with rules being enforced by admins, whether we like them or not) and Chaos (creative talent seeking expression). Hundreds of folks have put thousands of hours of their free time into building this wiki to be a great resource for DMs and players. We unapologetically protect this huge, rare, and irreplaceable resource. I'm sorry, but your "strong" feelings that nothing will happen if we break our self-imposed rules are not very reassuring.

We offer a structured outlet for your creativity. There are plenty of places around here that need expansion and improvement, and you are welcome to pitch in with whatever strikes your fancy, as long as you fit it into the framework that has been evolving over the years (and continues apace). Join the discussion, add your favorite corner of the Forgotten Realms to the mosaic, and build a legacy if you wish. If that's not your cup of tea, then I'm sure there are plenty of fanon sites that would welcome your input, and good luck to you. The choice is yours. Whatever you do, have fun. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:39, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
