I just noticed you answered something in my Talk page. [1] Let me quickly explain you how Talk pages work. When someone wants to tell you something, he goes to your talk page and posts a new section telling you something, like:
When you check the question, you are supposed to talk to his page directly. In other words, you go to the talk page of the one who asked you the question, and post the reply in a way he can easily find it, in example:
If he wants to tell you something more, he will go to your talk page and write what he wants there. In other words, conversations are usually split, what he said in your talk page, what you said in the other's talk page.
Sometimes, people will ask you that they will post replies in their own page, to prevent splitting the conversation.
So, when you find a question in a user's talk page, like in my case, he has most likely answered in the other's talk page. Talk pages are somewhat like "private" messages, so unless you want to say something or someone asked you something, don't reply in third's conversations. Hope it is clear :-) -- ReyBrujo 22:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello there. Yes, the article is mature enough. A stub means that the article gives the minimun information about the topc (in example, "Tanis Half-Elven is a fictional character in Dragonlance"), enough to answer "Who Tanis Half-Elven is?" but not enough to answer "Why Tanis Half-Elven must have its own article in Wikipedia?" -- ReyBrujo 01:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, DoomsDay349! I saw your article: Kith-Kanan. It is kind of confusing for me, a non-Dragonlance person, to understand it. Remember that Wikipedia is for ALL audiences! Let's work together to clean it up!
RelentlessRouge 01:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
On that article, I just created it this second, and that's really all the information I can find at the moment, so no I'm not planning on expanding at the moment, but I hope to be able to come upon some soon. Registered user 92 ( talk · contribs)
Hello - sorry I didn't respond any sooner, I've been away from my computer.
Originally the Silveran Kanan article needed a more thorough introduction, but it seems since I placed that tag on the article you've pretty much taken care of this. The only thing I recommend adding at this point would be the author of the series - perhaps make it read "...the fictional series of Dragonlance novels, written by <x>". Good job! -- AbsolutDan (talk) 02:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
This is just a heads up that if you're going to upload any dragonlance images, please place them in the [[Category:Dragonlance images]] or the [[Category: Dragonlance Covers]]. Thanks. ddcc 01:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, please remember to categorize your new dragonlance character page with the [[Category: Dragonlance characters]], or else it's hard for other people to find and contribute to your article. ddcc 02:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, sorry I didn't reply earlier! Somehow, my computer didn't alert me that I had a new message, so... anyway, I've looked them over, and they look much better! Great job! A few thigns that could be tweaked:
1. In the K.K.S. article, could you explain the countries a bit more in addition to using Wikilinks?
2. In the S.o.t.S. article, is it a position, a person? How do you get the position, if it is a position?
Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!
RelentlessRouge 15:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, DoomsDay349! Cheers! Very nice userboxes... =)
Anyway, I looked through the two above articles. I really don't have much time right this minute, but...
1. What is a diety? Is it a god or something? I mean, I know what the definition is, but others might not. Please explain it in greater detail.
2. Great job on the Paladine page! You could make it even better by explaining what an avatar is instead of just Wikilinking it!
Cheers!
RelentlessRouge 11:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Geez, what bunch of nonsense. Note that in the second edit in the history the article was prodded, [2] which was later removed without comment. [3] When the prod is removed, you need to take the article to WP:AFD. Include what the user who made the prod wrote, state that it was removed without comment, and add that Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Also, note that Googling for the names and the game name gives no significant results. -- ReyBrujo 18:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed you're using Reybrujo's tasklist, can you mark the articles that you've changed/fixed to done, or missing image so that it's easier for the rest of us? ddcc 04:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, DoomsDay349! Long time no see! If you need any help on Dragonlance articles, just pop me a message at user talk: RelentlessRouge. Thanks!
Cheers!
R e lentless Rouge 11:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey, what's up, DoomsDay349! I've looked over the aforementioned article. I think that a number of changes would help make it a very nice article!
1. What are all the locations described in Early Life? Where? What are their importances? Is there a map to show where she's travelled?
2. Who is she? Physical descriptions? A picture? A picture would be nice.
3. Too many subcategories. Merge them just into a single article with no sections. That'd be nice. A subsection with only a few sentences isn't that good.
4. The middle and ending sections were very confusing.
I hope that my comments will help to guide you in making Mina (Dragonlance) a better article!
Cheers!
R e lentless Rouge 01:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
P.S.: And thanks about my signiature. I can help you out with yours, too. =)
Hello! For now I believe we should wait some. Currently there is a discussion about infoboxes, and based on the consensus, we will change the infoboxes, create or delete them. -- ReyBrujo 17:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
First, you need to create the reference. To do it, use <ref name="somename"></ref> Note that "somename" is a unique name. If you are going to use the same reference twice (in example, the same page can be used as source in two different statements), the first time create the reference, and the second just use it as <ref name="thefirstname" />
To create the reference itself, you need to use the {{ cite web}} or {{ cite book}} template inside the reference. To quote a book, use {{ cite book}}, to quote a web pate use {{ cite web}}. In example, if you want to reference a URL, use {{cite web | url=http://www.test.com | publisher=Test | accessdate=2006-08-30 | title=A test }} It is similar with the one for books. Just check the cite templates to see the arguments.
Finally, you need to create a References section with the following text to make them appear:
<div class="references-small"> <references /> </div>
Only the <references /> is needed, but the DIV makes the references smaller so that more can fit in the article. I hope that helps. -- ReyBrujo 02:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not having any problems viewing the site, no. - The Splendiferous Gegiford 17:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
You should not just slap a completely new article into another. As you finish sections here, put them there. Otherwise, people who had been working in the article would just someday find all their contributions gone, and since you will just copy a version, there will be no change history in the main article. -- ReyBrujo 05:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey there. Are you still having that problem? I can access your user page without problem. However, as the images may be stored in a different server, if the server is down, your page may not show correctly or not at all (happened a couple of times when the server that stored the archive icon went down, and trying to access a talk page would time out). If that happens, and really bothers you, you can try accessing the history of your user page, and trying a previous version, until you are able to see the user page.
Sometimes, however, the Wikipedia servers are just too busy. I almost never edit at nights because the server is extremely slow for me (usually taking 15-20 seconds to go to a new page, and most times getting a time out when trying to save a page). Growing pains, I would say. Just in case, don't worry, your user page did not break Wikipedia ;-) -- ReyBrujo 18:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Since you've done such a wonderful job on Lists of Ergothian Emperors, could you update the Empire of Ergoth template to reflect those changes? ddcc 02:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
The full quote is:
Wikipedia has its own fair use criteria, which is much stricter than the US law. This is to both minimize non-free content, and to comply with the law (in example, if the law says only 18 years old or older can write in wikis, but Wikipedia requests you to have 21, the rules is stricter and, thus, probably "safer").
That was an example to clarify that, while US laws are strict, Wikipedia uses stricter rules to be sure to fall within US laws. -- ReyBrujo 01:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. You can find information about signatures here, and how to customize them here. You can use HTML to set colors and fonts, but remember to keep your full signature shorter than 200 characters, which is usually when signatures begin to become a nuisanse. -- ReyBrujo 18:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Welcome, DoomsDay349, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs.

So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page!

The turqouise blue nine is hard to see on the monobook skin. Typiclally, many Esperanzas will color their Esperanza links green, so you could conert the "Doom" to a link to ESP. I also think that three colors ia a bit distraction, but that's just my opinion. Hbdragon88 03:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... the Kingpriest Trilogy has most, if not all, what you need, as it covers maybe the last 40 years of the place. There are a lot of short stories talking about it, but overall, they don't describe the place or customs, but situations (The Cataclysm recompilation has several stories about events transpiring just before, during, and shortly after the Cataclysm). -- ReyBrujo 23:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't aware I was limited in what I could could put on my userpage.. I've changed it to co-incide with what rules could apply. Any swearing (though I don't think I could find any), has been removed, 'hate' (which is the word that should have been used, because I really do 'dislike' those things with a passion) has been changed to 'dislike'.
I apologize if you were offended. - Moe 01:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Because you're here, I'm proposing that perhaps we should set out a clear and concise 'To-Do' list, for any of those (like me), who are unsure which articles require the most work, fixing, etc, etc.
Something along the Star Trek Project lines perhaps..?

As you might know, we've had problems with the use of fair use images in portals, and so, after debate on the talk page of Wikipedia: Fair use, I've created an amendment for fair use in portals, see here: Wikipedia:Fair use/Amendment/Fair use images in portals#Also. It would be great if you could express your support. ddcc 21:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I've already returned Art of the Dragonlance Saga and Masters of Dragonlance Art. There aren't a lot of god pictures in there, but I'll try to address each. Mina/Chemosh definitely aren't in either since they're too new, only covers have them. Paladine... there is a uploaded picture of Fizban. Habbakuk/Mishakal don't think I've seen those, nor have I seen Ionthas. There is a book about Reorx in his human form (I think an Age of Mortals book... or a short story book), except for those two possibilities, don't think so. There are dragons in the artbooks, but the pictures aren't labeled with the exact dragon. You could look through some of the dragon pictures we have and call some of them Sable, Beryl, etc. Sable is on a cover of a book about Dhamon Grimwuylf (I think). There were draconian pictures, but black+white. The cover of Draconian Measures, which is uploaded has draconians, as well as the picture of Laurana being guarded by two draconians with Takhisis in the background. Aside from those, try googling? Sorry if it's not much, but that's all I can think of at the moment. ddcc 14:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, DoomsDay349! Cheers! Very nice userboxes... =)
Anyway, I looked through the two above articles. I really don't have much time right this minute, but...
1. What is a diety? Is it a god or something? I mean, I know what the definition is, but others might not. Please explain it in greater detail.
2. Great job on the Paladine page! You could make it even better by explaining what an avatar is instead of just Wikilinking it!
Cheers!

Geez, what bunch of nonsense. Note that in the second edit in the history the article was prodded, [2] which was later removed without comment. [3] When the prod is removed, you need to take the article to WP:AFD. Include what the user who made the prod wrote, state that it was removed without comment, and add that Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Also, note that Googling for the names and the game name gives no significant results. -- ReyBrujo 18:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed you're using Reybrujo's tasklist, can you mark the articles that you've changed/fixed to done, or missing image so that it's easier for the rest of us? ddcc 04:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, DoomsDay349! Long time no see! If you need any help on Dragonlance articles, just pop me a message at user talk: RelentlessRouge. Thanks!
Cheers!

Hey, what's up, DoomsDay349! I've looked over the aforementioned article. I think that a number of changes would help make it a very nice article!
1. What are all the locations described in Early Life? Where? What are their importances? Is there a map to show where she's travelled?
2. Who is she? Physical descriptions? A picture? A picture would be nice.
3. Too many subcategories. Merge them just into a single article with no sections. That'd be nice. A subsection with only a few sentences isn't that good.
4. The middle and ending sections were very confusing.
I hope that my comments will help to guide you in making Mina (Dragonlance) a better article!
Cheers!

Hello! For now I believe we should wait some. Currently there is a discussion about infoboxes, and based on the consensus, we will change the infoboxes, create or delete them. -- ReyBrujo 17:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
First, you need to create the reference. To do it, use <ref name="somename"></ref> Note that "somename" is a unique name. If you are going to use the same reference twice (in example, the same page can be used as source in two different statements), the first time create the reference, and the second just use it as <ref name="thefirstname" />
To create the reference itself, you need to use the {{ cite web}} or {{ cite book}} template inside the reference. To quote a book, use {{ cite book}}, to quote a web pate use {{ cite web}}. In example, if you want to reference a URL, use {{cite web | url=http://www.test.com | publisher=Test | accessdate=2006-08-30 | title=A test }} It is similar with the one for books. Just check the cite templates to see the arguments.
Finally, you need to create a References section with the following text to make them appear:
<div class="references-small"> <references /> </div>
Only the <references /> is needed, but the DIV makes the references smaller so that more can fit in the article. I hope that helps. -- ReyBrujo 02:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not having any problems viewing the site, no. - The Splendiferous Gegiford 17:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
You should not just slap a completely new article into another. As you finish sections here, put them there. Otherwise, people who had been working in the article would just someday find all their contributions gone, and since you will just copy a version, there will be no change history in the main article. -- ReyBrujo 05:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey there. Are you still having that problem? I can access your user page without problem. However, as the images may be stored in a different server, if the server is down, your page may not show correctly or not at all (happened a couple of times when the server that stored the archive icon went down, and trying to access a talk page would time out). If that happens, and really bothers you, you can try accessing the history of your user page, and trying a previous version, until you are able to see the user page.
Sometimes, however, the Wikipedia servers are just too busy. I almost never edit at nights because the server is extremely slow for me (usually taking 15-20 seconds to go to a new page, and most times getting a time out when trying to save a page). Growing pains, I would say. Just in case, don't worry, your user page did not break Wikipedia ;-) -- ReyBrujo 18:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Since you've done such a wonderful job on Lists of Ergothian Emperors, could you update the Empire of Ergoth template to reflect those changes? ddcc 02:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
The full quote is:
Wikipedia has its own fair use criteria, which is much stricter than the US law. This is to both minimize non-free content, and to comply with the law (in example, if the law says only 18 years old or older can write in wikis, but Wikipedia requests you to have 21, the rules is stricter and, thus, probably "safer").
That was an example to clarify that, while US laws are strict, Wikipedia uses stricter rules to be sure to fall within US laws. -- ReyBrujo 01:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. You can find information about signatures here, and how to customize them here. You can use HTML to set colors and fonts, but remember to keep your full signature shorter than 200 characters, which is usually when signatures begin to become a nuisanse. -- ReyBrujo 18:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The turqouise blue nine is hard to see on the monobook skin. Typiclally, many Esperanzas will color their Esperanza links green, so you could conert the "Doom" to a link to ESP. I also think that three colors ia a bit distraction, but that's just my opinion. Hbdragon88 03:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... the Kingpriest Trilogy has most, if not all, what you need, as it covers maybe the last 40 years of the place. There are a lot of short stories talking about it, but overall, they don't describe the place or customs, but situations (The Cataclysm recompilation has several stories about events transpiring just before, during, and shortly after the Cataclysm). -- ReyBrujo 23:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't aware I was limited in what I could could put on my userpage.. I've changed it to co-incide with what rules could apply. Any swearing (though I don't think I could find any), has been removed, 'hate' (which is the word that should have been used, because I really do 'dislike' those things with a passion) has been changed to 'dislike'.
I apologize if you were offended. - Moe 01:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Because you're here, I'm proposing that perhaps we should set out a clear and concise 'To-Do' list, for any of those (like me), who are unsure which articles require the most work, fixing, etc, etc.
Something along the Star Trek Project lines perhaps..?

Unfortunately, I've already returned Art of the Dragonlance Saga and Masters of Dragonlance Art. There aren't a lot of god pictures in there, but I'll try to address each. Mina/Chemosh definitely aren't in either since they're too new, only covers have them. Paladine... there is a uploaded picture of Fizban. Habbakuk/Mishakal don't think I've seen those, nor have I seen Ionthas. There is a book about Reorx in his human form (I think an Age of Mortals book... or a short story book), except for those two possibilities, don't think so. There are dragons in the artbooks, but the pictures aren't labeled with the exact dragon. You could look through some of the dragon pictures we have and call some of them Sable, Beryl, etc. Sable is on a cover of a book about Dhamon Grimwuylf (I think). There were draconian pictures, but black+white. The cover of Draconian Measures, which is uploaded has draconians, as well as the picture of Laurana being guarded by two draconians with Takhisis in the background. Aside from those, try googling? Sorry if it's not much, but that's all I can think of at the moment. ddcc 14:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
