User talk:Wwuviking

Welcome!
Well met, Wwuviking. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your recent edit. We hope to see more great edits!

The FR Wiki aims to be a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and DMs. As you edit, please keep in mind these five important rules:
 * 1) Use only official sources—no homebrew!
 * 2) Do not copy text from these sources; use your own words.
 * 3) Write everything in narrative tense (past tense), just like any novel.
 * 4) Add citations for any statements that you make—at least one per paragraph.
 * 5) Avoid using the Visual Editor; use the Source Editor instead.

In case you need some help, here are some quick guides:
 * General help • Editing articles • Referencing and citing • Policies • Canon • Copyrights

…Or leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the other administrators about things.

We hope that you enjoy editing here. Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

Pronunciation changes
Hello. I have blocked you to save unnecessary effort. The alterations you have been making to the pronunciation templates need to be backed up by sources. The lettering, whether correct or not (often it indeed does not follow IPA at all) is given in the sources and this Wiki follows those as canon. There should be no unsourced changes, unless there is a good reason, such as removing ambiguities, and always followed by explanatory notes. Please do not alter or remove verified content. You will be unblocked when you acknowledge this message. ― Sirwhiteout (talk) 16:14, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * All right, well, regardless of that odd policy, can you unblock me so I can do other kinds of (sourced) edits? Wwuviking (talk) 16:27, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for replying. The block was lifted.


 * In the future, rather than making large numbers of changes that affect many pages, you may want to discuss changes to the wiki policy in our Forum. You may better present your argument for changing the pronunciation template (or anything else) there. ― Sirwhiteout (talk) 16:33, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I am still blocked from uploading images. Could this be lifted? See, for example, the page I just created, abrian, for which I have an image. Wwuviking (talk) 21:49, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm confused. I just created the "abrian" page without problem, but now I am unable to edit that same page, because it says you have blocked me. Wwuviking (talk) 21:54, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Hmm, there seems to be an odd caching issue at play here. Can you edit the page now? I removed a secondary block of your IP address just now. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 21:58, July 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * That worked. Thank you. Wwuviking (talk) 22:37, July 18, 2020 (UTC)

References for "based on"?
Do you actually have proof of the things you are claiming in the "based on" sections that you've been adding? Some of them are obvious, like Greek mythology, since the original sourcebooks stated that it was taken from there. But what proof do you have that Magros was based on a poem by Benjamin Disraeli, for example? The link to wikipedia does not contain the word "Magros" and does not explain anything about devils. We try to reference everything on this wiki so readers can verify the lore themselves. Please provide evidence of your claims, at least the ones that are not obvious. Otherwise, they will be marked as Speculation or removed. If it requires an explanation, then add a Note that will appear in the appendix. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 22:14, July 19, 2020 (UTC)
