User talk:Adameniscus

Welcome!
Well met, Adameniscus, and welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the Arabel 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!

Arabel
Hi. Welcome to the wiki and thanks for your additions to the Arabel page.

However, I had to make some changes.

First, you uploaded an image of the map key. Since this copies a large passage of text from the sourcebook, it could be considered copyright infringement, so I deleted it. Instead, consider adding a typed-up map key that doesn't include all the descriptions of places. This could go on the map page (File:Arabel.JPG) or pages for individual places could briefly mention the location numbers, as I did at Night Wolf Inn.

Second, you made about ten edits trying different things out. Instead, please use the Preview button, and only click Publish when you're read to save it all. This will show you if something's working or not working, if the format looks good or needs adjusting. Making fewer edits makes it easier for others to backtrack through edits if they need to fix or check something.

Third, note how I've made the references simpler on the Arabel page. We have two reference templates for Cormyr (sourcebook): Cite book/Cormyr: Official Game Accessory 2nd Edition and Cite book/Cormyr; the first is redundant and should be remove some day, the second much shorter. Once you've made a reference like: You can invoke it again with: Which keeps things much shorter and simpler.

So, if you have any questions, just ask one of us admins, or post it on an article 's Talk page, or ask in the Forum:Index. What's your aim with the Arabel page? We can share some advice and tips to help a project run smoothly. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:32, July 31, 2016 (UTC)
