Great job with the Unarmed combat system and associated pages! I've featured it as a featured article on the main page. It should help a lot of people. Becca 09:44, 15 July 2012 (EDT)

Just lost my last update on the Curse spell and will have to re-write it. It'd be great if you could be a bit more patient. Thanks. KAGE 20:46, 30 November 2011 (EST)

Back when I was editing, I recall there being a red warning on the top of the page if an edit was being made that would overwrite someone else's edit. It didn't come up very often. I'm kind of thrilled that too many editors is an issue! Becca 08:49, 1 December 2011 (EST)
I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as overwriting. Sorry if I caused you a lot of duplicative work. What I generally do when editing something lengthy is CTRL + A, CTRL + C as I go along. Then if something goes haywire I'll have the bulk of the page saved. Mark 10:44, 1 December 2011 (EST)

You are a great contributor and I'm damned glad you're here. Truly hope you'll help out for years to come. But...but... ; ) My impression is very much that we can't copy things directly from other sources. You did a hella job on 713 Balefire, but chunks of it is copied directly from Strathspey's posts and will need to be re-written a tad. I'd be happy to do it, but it's up to you.

As long as those posts are saved somewhere! I'm not saying you interpreted anything incorrectly, but this wiki is a stupid game of telephone sometimes and it's useful to have the saved posts to point to years down the road. Sometimes there's just no clear way to reword things. I love the new pages! I think they look great! Becca 08:49, 1 December 2011 (EST)
It's very nice to see you pop in from time to time, Becca. Hope all is well. I've rewritten the Balefire page to avoid any possible legal action. We don't need Krakii incarcerated. ;) I see that in the Help page there is specific information about copywrited material and how it should be treated. I'm kinda at a disadvantage since I'm not a wordsmith. My emphasis is primarily on all things related to game mechanics, formulas, critical tables and such. But I will try to better disguise my inappropriate appropriations in the future.:) Mark 10:44, 1 December 2011 (EST)
Getting Krakii incarcerated could be kind of fun, actually. Unless he found out who caused it. We'll have to come up with a devious plan. KAGE 15:54, 1 December 2011 (EST)

I see all these treasure boxes on the critters, and no alchemy specific info. Since those drops are very common, shouldn't that be its own category? ~Vanessa

Early last year (go to the discussions tab on the Template:creature treasure page for the history) the creature treasure template was changed. As a result of that change, all previous treasure entries were hidden from view and could only be seen using the edit function. Additionally, for an editor to add any treasure information became non-trivial. I had, at that time, volunteered to help with the manual update. Well, as so often happens, the project was abandoned midstream and we were left with 400+ creature pages that needed the manual update. I am now going to each page and completing the update as best as I can. I am only adding a limited amount of additional information. My priority is to have the treasure sections in a usable format while simultaneously adding the aforementioned hidden data and deleting the old template references. Mark 22:49, 12 March 2014 (EDT)

Yay! thanks for joining me on the clean up VANKRASN39 16:16, 22 May 2014 (EDT)

Were you planning on doing the Paladin spell pages? VANKRASN39 11:38, 20 August 2014 (EDT)

No, I hadn't. It is the circle I am least familiar with and I believe that DAID (Kaldonis) will likely do the updates. At least that is the impression I have based on his official posts. Mark 13:28, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
Okay, I'll ask him. Seems like one of the 3 of us is going to have to do it. I'm not exactly qualified, either. VANKRASN39 13:47, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
