User talk:Rip

Welcome . . .

to our currently-unnamed Greyhawk Wiki. Feel free to post any questions you may have on my talk page.--Robbastard 20:25, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Deity articles

Thanks for your contributions. However, most Greyhawk deities have already been covered on Wikipedia--it would likely be easier to just copy & paste from those, then expand onto what's already been written. There's also a deity template you can use. Let me know if you have any questions.--Robbastard 20:25, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Format

Please check the Writing Guidelines & the other articles for formating. Not that I don't appreciate the help, but it saves me time if everyone formats their articles the same way. For instance, instead of "sources," use "Bibliography" (& use "=" rather than bolding), & list the sources using Chicago Manual of Style citations. Several sources are already in this format in other articles, particularly on the work's author page. Thanks.--Robbastard 20:58, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Wikipedia

Again, much of what you're doing is already on Wikipedia--see Pandemonium. And don't forget to use the edit summary. :)--Robbastard 21:18, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Realm

I deleted this page, because it's beyond the scope of this wiki. We no more need a "realm" article than we do, say, a "sword" or "horse" article. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post something on my talk page.--Robbastard 21:25, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Loviatar

I deleted this page, because Loviater is a FR deity whose activities on Oerth are limited to the Hanging Glacier. I did link her name on that & Telchur's pages to her entry on the FR wiki on Wikia, however. If there is enough demand for her own page on this wiki, however, I have no problem recreating it.--Robbastard 19:24, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

EEP (re: Demogorgon)

Thanks for the fix, Rip. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention whan I was moving articles over and moved the wrong one over :) Pat Payne 18:44, 7 September 2007 (EDT)

Template:Affiliations

Given that affiliations are so heavily entwined in game mechanics (which will certainly be outdated with the release of 4E), perhaps a more mechanic-neutral infobox would be better, such as Template:Greyhawk Organization?--Robbastard 23:09, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, seeing there's already a category for Greyhawk organizations, an infobox & corresponding category for affiliations seems rather redundant, given that the only real difference between the two is affiliations are organizations with game mechanics.--Robbastard 23:26, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

Krovis

See my response to your concerns at Talk:Krovis.--Robbastard 18:26, 10 September 2007 (EDT)

Writing guidelines

The Writing Guidelines have been expanded & fleshed out a bit. There's also a section of guidelines for deity articles.--Robbastard 19:24, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Also, see Template talk:Greyhawk Organization for thoughts on the org infobox.--Robbastard 19:26, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Ye'Cind

Please see the talk page for a question on this article.--Robbastard 21:20, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Request

We have several dead links to pages for "TSR, Inc" and "Wizards of the Coast." This appears to be due to articles copied over from Wikipedia for which the brackets weren't removed. Pages for those companies are beyond the scope of this wiki, as anything specifically "Greyhawk" in regards to TSR or WotC would be covered in the Greyhawk article. Since these are mainly pages you 'ported over, would you mind going through and removing the WotC & TSR links (most should be in the bibliography section). A list of those articles can be found here[1], here[2], and here[3]. Thanks.--Robbastard 16:08, 19 September 2007 (EDT)

Also, if you could take care of the linked years (1983, 2000, 1980, 1998, 1992, 2002, 2005, 2001, 1988, 2004, 2006, 1979), coat of arms, campaign setting, here, copper, here, here, monarchy, platinum, silver, electrum, here, [ http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Adventure_Paths adventure paths], here, here, gold, here, here, here, here, here, & alignment, it would be much appreciated.--Robbastard 21:56, 19 September 2007 (EDT)

Adventure Path

I'm deleting this article, as it's really too general, & all Greyhawk information can be covered in Shackled City, Age of Worms, & Savage Tide articles. Should we absolutely need to link to this subject, I'd suggest linking to the Wikipedia article.--Robbastard 21:31, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Greyhawk articles being targeted at Wikipedia

A deletionist has been targeting several Greyhawk articles on Wikipedia. I've been salvaging some of them, but he's outpaced me. Could you help me port them over here, please? His userpage is here, & his edit history here. Lately, he's been targeting the Greyhawk locations category, working alphabetically. Thanks.--Robbastard 20:21, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

He's currently targeting Greyhawk deity articles on Wikipedia. Luckily, we seem to have a good start there.--149.160.118.200 18:11, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
