Where did you get all of those images? They need to have copyright information. I recognized one of them and removed it because I'm almost certain it's not GFDL. -Aranel ("Sarah") 20:29, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to the Forgotten Realms project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

A consistent content
Use of templates
Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

The project is located here
The Geographical index of Toril is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the Halruaa entry.

Main contributors are presently

If you know some other person who would be interested, feel free to forward the invitation!

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:ProfTerry&Duck2.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:ProfTerry&Duck2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The White Counsil

You have to understand, though, that not all people who read Wikipedia articles are familiar with the article subject; the White Counsil wouldn't really be known outside the online miniature wargaming community, and individual sections on the sub-fora that make it successful would only truly be understood by those who are members of it already. Things like individual usernames of the people who worked on UROD and LDTTW are not really notable outside the 180 (or so) members of the White Counsil, and with terms like "it's ruler and leader", this could lead to confusion for people from outside the forum. It is important to remember the Wikipedia definition of notabiliy:

A topic has notability if it is known outside a narrow interest group or constituency.

Also important is Wikipedia:Notability (web), where the White Counsil does not seem to fit any of the three required criteria for articles on web content:

The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation.
The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.

So in summary, briefly mention The White Realm in The White Counsil Today, but don't give it its own section or go into superfluous detail on the member groups involved. Thanks. Grimhelm 10:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Article

Since you helped create the article on The White Counsil, you may want to know that another editor proposed the article be deleted by 13th October; you may also want to argue for its retention at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_White_Counsil. --Grimhelm 11:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Ariakas! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 55 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ariakas. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ariakas~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
