Thanks for the better quality image. Moviesign 19:04, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to make sure that it was a bit clearer. I also saw that you used the medium poster so i added the large one. NP btw hope i didn't step on your toes. Pharuan Undearth 19:13, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Moonsea Edit
Movie,

Thanks a million... now I understand how to fix the problem :) You rule!!! Darkwynters 20:41, September 4, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters

Forgotten Gems
Moviesign, I just wanted to say you are doing a fantastic job with the gem collection :) Darkwynters 22:46, September 19, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters


 * Thanks! This was one of my favorite parts of the Forgotten Realms Adventures sourcebook which seems to have gotten lost in the later editions, so I'm bringing it back, with pictures :)

Fanon
Would you be interested in a D&D fanon wiki? I made one. If you want to contribute, send me a message and I'll give you the link. --Pinguinus impennis 00:30, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Well? Do you or do you not? I don't mean to be pushy, but I just want to know. --Pinguinus impennis 01:22, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, not really interested, but thanks for the invite. My knowledge and resources are limited to 1st and 2nd edition Forgotten Realms.  Good luck with your wiki. Moviesign 02:32, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright
It seems that a lot of the images on this wiki are from the wizards web site. Tell me: are pictures such as < mind flayer image removed > in the public domain? --Pinguinus impennis 04:48, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * They are definitely copyrighted. However, look at the photo info (click the photo, then click the magnifying glass on the pop-up preview window) and you'll see the "fair use" justification for using the image on this wiki.  Beyond that, you will have to ask an administrator.  I'm just here to have fun.Moviesign 05:05, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Coins of the Realms
Movie, I just wanted to say the Coins and Currency in the Realms page is looking FANTASTIC!! The other editors and you have done an excellent job :) Darkwynters 22:46, September 29, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters


 * Thanks! I can't believe they keep changing the exchange rates between editions :b I'm particularly fond of this page because I cut my teeth on writing a utility template for displaying a currency table. :) Moviesign 23:13, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Boo Too - &quot;Go for the eyes!&quot; 00:01, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ranged / Thrown
Movie, Great job on the weapon making, by the way!!! I was thinking you might want to break up Ranged Weapons into Ranged Weapons, like bows, and Thrown Weapons, like hand axes, because right now it says weapons not used as melee, but most thrown weapons, ie daggers, can be used in both ways... or maybe you could just edit the ranged weapon category to also say thrown weapons... your choice... Keep up the great work :) Darkwynters 06:22, October 9, 2011 (UTC)Darkwynters

Crests!
Ah, thank you. I'd be happy to make more crests. I've run out of inspiration as i've done all the crests on volo's map. Send any descriptions my way and ill get them done.

Page swap
The path is now clear for your page move! Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 09:11, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Abyss
Nice work on Abyss! It's looking even better now. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 10:56, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks! glad you like it. :) I'm slowly working my way around the Great Wheel and my (ambitious) goal is to update all the planes of existence to the same standard if possible.&mdash;Moviesign 14:24, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Userboxes
You're welcome moviesign. If you want any specific userbox let me know. Although, i will make more in due time--Jandor (talk) 12:55, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re: World Tree cosmology
Apparently, the captions are only messed up in the default Oasis skin. In the old-school skin I use (Monobook), they display just fine, so I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. ➳ Quin 19:09, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think I've narrowed the problem down to the a.internal.sprite.details.magnify class, which Monobook either doesn't have or just isn't displaying for whatever reason. I'm going to try and fix it, but I don't think you'll see a difference for at least a day, as the cache needs to be updated afterward, and that can take a while. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:46, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * It looks like it cached pretty quickly, actually! World Tree cosmology/imagemap is now showing a caption. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:20, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Dido
HAHAHA... and I have read the Aeneid... too funny... thanks, Movie... I have been using this forever and no one else seems to have noticed :) Great catch!!! Darkwynters (talk) 18:31, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Scimitar pic
Hi, I was browsing around for pictures of scimitars to use as a model for an illustration I wanted to work on for my blovel, and I have to say your image of a ceremonial scimitar is fantastic. With your permission, may I use the picture in my work? Or if the image is from another source, could you please send me the name of it? --72.172.17.58 23:53, January 7, 2013 (UTC)NRK (author of thiefandsparrow.blogspot.com )


 * Certainly. All uploaded images are supposed to be accompanied by source and copyright information, but they have made it slightly more complicated to view it. Click on the image and you get the fancy image browsing widget. Then click on the name of the file in the upper left corner and it should take you to the info page for that image. There you will see that I got it from Wikimedia Commons and there is a link to the source. Thanks for asking, and enjoy! &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:49, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Article
Ah wow thanks Moviesign! I'll have another look at it to make sure its in tip top condition! :D -Thomas Love http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/jackass/images/5/5f/Star_tiny.png [ talk ] 03:19, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Administrator!
Congratulations! You've now leveled-up in the Administrator prestige class! :D

Poke around, see what new options you have and try them out. You can delete and restore pages (this takes a bit of practice, especially page merges). You can also block troublesome users and protect pages. Plus, you can access the Special:AdminDashboard to fiddle with settings. Head to the core Wikia help pages to get some instruction in what you can do and how.

Welcome to the inner sanctum. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:24, June 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! And thank everyone else who expressed a vote of confidence. I'll try not to break anything. :) &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:41, June 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wicked!!! Great work so far, Movie *knocks him on the head with the royal wiki-scepter* We grant thee awesome admin-powers :) Darkwynters (talk) 04:19, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Gods
Hi Moviesign.

I've been working on tidying and expanding Ilmater. Knowing you've done a lovely job on Mystryl and might be doing the other Mystras, I thought I should discuss with you. Do you see any particular problems with the way I've been tacking Ilmater?

I've made a number of additions to Template:Deity you might find useful. This is part of my idea of treating gods as characters, so now there's race, classes, as well as other bits.

I'll also shift the Ilmatari worshipers and church stuff into a separate page as we've discussed. — BadCatMan (talk) 04:46, July 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wow, lots to think about, and I'm kinda heads-down on this spell template thing at the moment. But some quick thoughts: Would you like to move the 3rd edition Domains down to the 3rd edition box (and make it a heading, like in the new Spell template I'm working on?). The Former dominions could go there too. I'm flattered by the links to the cosmologies, but the Shurrock line wraps to 3 lines in the wikia skin and the box is busy enough as it is. If you want to keep them, perhaps use abbreviations like GWC. I don't really understand why the Race item has alignments in it, and just below the Alignment line to boot. If there is a good reason for them, maybe separate Alignment and Race? Sorry, only enough brain capacity for tiny nit-picking details at the moment, but that is an impressive infobox. I'll get back to you. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 05:31, July 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * I didn't think about the organisation of the infobox, just inserted the entries in likely places similar to the Person template. I know it needs organising though. The longer they grow, the cleaner the need to be. We try to be completely cited, but then get over-referenced.
 * I added the alignments to the race line because he's an Outsider with the [good] and [lawful] subtypes in the 3e stats, which I think we've done on some monster pages. Do you think they're unnecessary?
 * Given how often Ilmater has moved his realm about, I felt it should be made clear, for plane and cosmology. I used your planes articles to learn about them.
 * Speaking of which, why does Bytopia redirect to Golden Hills and not Twin Paradises? The cited source, On Hallowed Ground, makes it clear that the Golden Hills are only a place in Bytopia, and being a 2e Planescape source, it's obviously the Great Wheel cosmology.
 * Thanks for your suggestions! — BadCatMan (talk) 12:40, July 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * I fixed the Bytopia redirect. Looks like it was intended to shunt viewers into the World Tree view. I have found other instances where the old cosmologies are retrofitted into the new ones and I have been undoing that as I come across them. Rewriting the World Tree planes articles is going to be "fun".
 * Does the race correspond to the deity's avatar? Deities can appear as anything they want, can't they? So maybe have a separate block for avatar stats? If the race line is common to most or all the deities, then we could add "subtypes4e" and "subtypes5e" parameters, create a template for the various values, and have the template include the category (Category:Beings with the Good subtype?). &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 17:15, July 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. I didn't check the history. I kind of assumed you'd sorted our entire set of planar pages already. :)
 * I thought about adding Human for the race, but decided that unless a god had ascended from one, I couldn't say they were really actually human. I also thought about it in terms of racial pantheon, but Tiamat broke that idea by being both a dragon and a human goddess. So I just took the race out of the stats. I'll look at how other editions handle subtypes or the like. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:01, July 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not all of the planes. Still have about 20+ World Tree plane pages to revamp. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 16:02, July 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * You've done a smashing good job on the Ilmater page so far&mdash;it's shaping up nicely. I played with the class table and the citations, and the best I could come up with is the citation just below the table. See what you think. About the Faerunian pantheon, how does it fit in the timeline with the Deity list? We might want to consider combining them. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 16:02, July 14, 2013 (UTC)
