User talk:Retrofish

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

Explanation for Block
Hello, welcome to the FR Wiki. Thank you for your eagerness to contribute!

However, please note that I have blocked you, not as a punishment, but to save you extra effort, because there were major problems with the two pages you added here. I would suggest that you please read our Policies before continuing. Your Elemental magic page has already been deleted, because it contained a link to an illegal copy of legally protected material. We cannot have such things on our wiki.

Your Seelie article also has severe problems. First, this a Forgotten Realms wiki, not a generic D&D wiki, so all material must be about the Realms. Second, you need to use a proper wiki format, which includes wiki links and headings. Please compare yo other articles here. Third, sources must be primary. You cannot cite Stack Exchange as a source.

I would suggest that you begin here by editing current articles slowly to get the hang of things before adding new material.

Please let me know that you have read and understood these things, and I hope to see some good contributions from you soon!
