Welcome . . .
to the Great Library of Greyhawk. Be sure to check out the Writing Guidelines. Feel free to post any questions you may have on my talk page. Also, be sure to use the edit summary when making changes.--Robbastard 21:19, 23 August 2009 (EDT)
PS: I've noticed that most of your changes have been in the wording of existing articles, essentially keeping the same content with a different presentation. If this is because you feel the wording can be improved, fine. However, make sure that you're not duplicating the wording directly from any sourcebooks, as we try to avoid plagiarism. If you find that you have unwittingly copied any source material word-for-word, it would be much appreciated if you corrected this. Thanks.--Robbastard 21:30, 23 August 2009 (EDT)
Rel Astra
Given the fact that Rel Astra is a city-state, the Greyhawk Realm infobox would probably be more appropriate.--Robbastard 18:34, 25 August 2009 (EDT)
- I figured since you'd taken an interest in the article, you might be interested in changing the infobox--just copy and paste the stuff in the box with dotted lines under "Usage.". Also, you can use four tildes (~) to sign your posts.--Robbastard 20:43, 25 August 2009 (EDT)
Your enthusiasm is great, MS--it's good to have another contributor. You'll notice that I made some changes--nothing to take personal, this is common practice in wikis. This is the first time I've had a chance to really look over some of your work. Aside from some of the minor stuff (excess capitalization & italicization, for example), I've noticed that in some places you include speculation on the nature of things, such as why certain deities have a presence in the city. Unless such speculation is found in a (canonical or apocryphal) source, it should not be included (I only got as far as the religion section, btw) on the article page. Anyway, thanks for helping out, and don't get discouraged by the learning curve--we were all there, once. Also, feel free to use an article's talk page if you have any questions about that subject or the article itself.--Robbastard 00:46, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
Bibliographies
If you haven't noticed, they're in alphabetical order, by author's last name. Could you please alphabetize the sources you've added? Thanks.--Robbastard 00:56, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
When you have a question
About a certain article, it would be helpful if you link to the article in the text of your message, so I can go directly to it instead of searching for it. Thanks.--Robbastard 20:01, 28 August 2009 (EDT)

. . . if you checked your links after creating them, to make sure they go to the desired page. For instance, in Society of Magi, you linked it to Greyhawk, which goes directly to the article on the campaign setting, when you meant for it to link to the city of the same name. You could either link it to the correct title (Free City of Greyhawk), a page that redirects there (Greyhawk City), or by using a pipe (|) in the link, such as Greyhawk (hit "edit" to see how I did this).--Robbastard 20:16, 28 August 2009 (EDT)
