Good work
Very nice idea Aletto =) -- Kirkburn 20:07, 26 June 2006 (EDT)
Looking better and better! You don't need to put so many links on the pages though - it's best just to link the first mention of a article (e.g. Stormwind) and then leave all the following mentions unlinked, otherwise it just makes the article harder to read. :) -- Kirkburn 08:57, 13 July 2006 (EDT)
Ah, that's probably more my fault than Aletto's... I was a bit overzealous in placing links. I'll be more careful in the future though, thanks! And sorry for putting in too many links, Aletto. - Felya 19:09, 13 July 2006
So is Aletto still working on this? - Felya 16:49, 2 August 2006
Aletto here. Sorry for the quiet weeks, I had finals for my summer term and I sorta lost interest in WoW for a couple of weeks. However, don't be worried. I'm back and I'm working on the Guide to Ironforge. -- Aletto 13:19, 4 August 2006
Ah, finals. I know what those are like, no worries. - Felya 17:54, 4 August 2006
Fan fiction vs. Fan work
- Er, why is this now fan fiction?? -- Kirkburn 17:43, 9 August 2006 (EDT)
I only put the fanfic/fanwork tag on it since in the article it specifically says its a "fanwork" and not necessarily information which comes directly from Blizzard themselves. The author also came up with some explanations and history for places that aren't made by Blizzard either, ex. parts of the Deeprun Tram section of the fan guide.Baggins 11:27, 16 August 2006 (EDT)
- Ah, okay :) We need a sort of 'partial fanfic' tag, don't we :P -- Kirkburn 12:19, 16 August 2006 (EDT)
Maybe a "Fan Work" tag? Baggins 16:32, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
- I don't know if this is properly Template:Tlink, since eveything in it seems to be correct to in-game and out of game lore as far as I can tell. Perhaps more the Template:Tlink tag, since it tells more than maybe some people want to know. I'm considering removing the fanfic banner, unless someone points out something specifically misleading or counter-lore. --Fandyllic (talk) 2:11 PM PST 6 Nov 2006
- Nothing in my writings is flat-out conjecture. Merely, I take what I see in the game and "convert" it into a guide. None of this is meant to be official area lore. If it was, I'd have placed it on the main page of the area I'm discussing. Rather, I'm translating what we're experiencing in-game into a lore-like overview of the area. Blizzard obviously has not paid much attention to explaining how the Deeprun Tram works, for example, but in this guide I take into the account the existance of all these adventurers riding it that are obviously not concerned with investigating how it works. If this bothers the admins, I don't really mind the Fanfiction tag too much, but if it's possible to take it off, I would be honored. I may give myself a little breathing room to add flavor to the articles, but I strive to avoid major contradictions. I'd say it's impossible to go into a heated Lorecraft argument armed with my guide and come out embarassed - it's all true! --Aletto 11:22, 8 November 2006 (EST)
- Since it's already under Aletto's namespace, I don't think it really needs to keep the Template:Tlink tag, especially when it's not really fan fiction. As to the spoiler tag, I'm not sure - for this page especially it would seem reasonable to expect someone to realise they're gonna find out stuff on a full zone guide :P -- Kirkburn (talk) 11:39, 8 November 2006 (EST)
