Draft sandbox

A draft/sandbox version of the article addressing many concerns raised can be found at Talk:Kender/Draft. Vassyana (talk) 13:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the content of the draft into the mainspace article, removing unattributed material.--Gavin Collins (talk) 11:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Class Reassessment, November 18th 2008

I must admit that Gavin did help with this article quite a bit, even if he didn't want to. Should it be nominated for GA? -Drilnoth (talk) 21:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it still needs some more work for GA, but that would be BOZ to know, as I am just a research monkey in finding facts and such. [insert image of monkey] shadzar-talk 22:01, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

? -Drilnoth (talk) 22:04, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with Shadzar, that this one could use some more work before it's ready for all that. I like to push an article along, and this one has a long way to go. Also, if it would mean "working" with Gavin again, I think I've had my fill of that. ;) BOZ (talk) 22:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would most certainly NOT mean "working" with Gavin again. -Drilnoth (talk) 22:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But would we even have a choice in the matter? BOZ (talk) 22:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure we would. If Gavin comes in and starts messing up the article we revert the vandalism accordingly. As it stands I think there are more important things to focus on and should be done first like the basics of D&D such as the books and such and let these spin-off articles come later after we get more of the foundation of the projects articles up to spec and try to get the stubs into something more even if they end up needing much more work. shadzar-talk 22:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. I'll remove this article from the announcements. -Drilnoth (talk) 22:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed 100% on where our focus should lie - let's get the important tangible stuff up to GA/FA like books and designers and even campaign settings before worrying about stuff like this. I never really cared for kender anyway. ;) BOZ (talk) 23:04, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Same; I just saw someone mention that this might make a GA, and thought it would be worth mentioning. -Drilnoth (talk) 23:12, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit

I requested a copy edit on this page last month, because I feel this is a well-written article with a lot of potential, and would like to get some input from the guild of copyeditors to make it that much better - maybe even GA class or better one day. I was unaware that this one previously had a copyedit tag on it - when was it cleared? 129.33.19.254 (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... I suggest you try listing at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests as there is a huge backlog at Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit where that copy edit tag ends up listing. This article is in much better shape than those that reside in the backlog, which is why I was curious as to the tag. I could not easily find where it was tagged before, so I may be mistaken.

Will do, thanks! :) 129.33.19.254 (talk) 22:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ask and you shall receive! Thanks again for the suggestion. :) 129.33.19.254 (talk) 00:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of copy-edit requests.... I saw this one over at the GOCE earlier today and took it on. Hopefully I will be able to help out. It may take me a few days, as I am a full-time student in a very involved program, but it will get done soon, even if it is a piece at a time. :) -Pax85 (talk) 04:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the most part I am now finished. I will keep working on that one section, and post it over here when it is ready. After that, I will of course make a final run through of everything. As always, if there is a desire for the article to be promoted, I usually recommend another copy-edit down the road directly before the nomination. Two pairs of eyes are of course better than one. :) That being said, as work continues on the article, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know! -Pax85 (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List

Regarding the list under the appearance section, I was going to attempt to turn it into prose as I finish up the copy-edit. Any suggestions or objections? -Pax85 (talk) 14:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can do it, you might as well. :) 129.33.19.254 (talk) 15:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I am going to finish the copy-edit tomorrow evening (Pacific time). After I finish the general copy-edit, I will work on that section in my sandbox. Feel free to make any edits there if you like. Sorry this isn't getting done quicker (I think we are nearing a week since I took the request) but I am in the middle of mid-term exams right now... -Pax85 (talk) 05:30, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

What is the plural of kender? Would it be kender, or kenders? I have seen it mostly used without the "s" in the article, but I just ran into a paragraph that stated it as kenders. I just want to double-check, and if it does indeed employ the "s" I will go back through and correct it. -Pax85 (talk) 05:13, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
