new to FR wiki
I'm new to the FR wikia, but I am a compulsive reader, especially concerning Year of the Rogue Dragons and The Last Mythal. Any specific things you want me to work on, or just get editing? Bizzarechipmonk 14:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Referencing
Hey dude, could you give us some idea where your getting the information your inputting. I know it's kosher, but even a hint of where it's from would allow me to backfill with references. Hurtzbad 10:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, wasn't meant to be taken as a complaint. You don't need to do the inline referencing, but if you could do a cite book at the end or even just type the name of the book at the end and someone will complete it as a cite book. Hurtzbad 11:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Past tense for History sub-sections?
I noticed you modified the Star elf article recently to change it so that it the History sub-section is now in the past tense. It reads a little odd now, to my eye. For example: "In -6950 DR[2] star elves began to gather in the Yuirwood..." followed shortly thereafter by "In -900 DR the elves begin to notice...". Since we're making it clear what year we're in ("In xxx DR..."), does it not seem more appropriate to then speak in the present tense?

Also, a practical reason to keep everything in the present tense (along with being specific as to the actual date) is because the current date can no longer be assumed. Some readers will assume a 3.5E setting, and other readers will assume a 4e setting. Therefore, it's often times easier to write everything in the present tense and to just be specific when things occured. See the articles on Mystryl and Mystra for examples, both of which are written in the present tense though both deities eventually die at a specific date.

Discussion on Canon
Hey, can you wander over here, and give your opinion. I personally would not want to do anything without knowing that you had contributed to this conversation. Hurtzbad 08:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
