Hand

Is it me, or is that a *right* hand on the cover of that book? Rissa (talk) 17:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Hi Drilnoth, I would appreciate that you not remove the notability template, unless you add reliable secondary sources. I realy need citations with footnotes; vague references which don't support the text of this article won't do. Don't forget that in universe content does not provide evidence of notability. --Gavin Collins (talk) 22:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a separate template for a lack of footnotes, appropriately titled {{nofootnotes}}. The following references are all reliable secondary sources:

Logue, Nicholas. "The Library of Last Resort." Dungeon #132 (Paizo Publishing, 2006).
Mona, Erik. "Ancient History: Vecna's Realm." [1]
Thorsson, Modi, and Kevin McCann. Vecna: Hand of the Revenant (Iron Hammer Graphics, 2002).
Weiss, Samuel. "Grand Sheldomar Timeline, Part I." [2]
- Weiss, Samuel. "The Yaheetes and Tyrus: The Wars Against the Hand and the Eye in the Sheldomar." [3]
Weiss, Samuel, and Gary Holian. "The Hand and Eye of Vecna." [4]

I disagree with you that in-universe content does not provide evidence of notability, but I do understand that to be Wikipedia's guideline on the matter, so I shall not argue that point. However, there is one paragraph on out-of-universe text. -Drilnoth (talk) 22:41, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note that WP:REF says that "Editors are free to use any of these [general reference, footnote, shortened footnote, or parenthetical reference] methods or to develop new methods; no method is preferred." Therefore, what you "really need" (per your original question) doesn't matter on the topic of how references are presented. -Drilnoth (talk) 22:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
