June 2006
June 2006 has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. My best suggestions would be to review WP:GTL for setup, write in complete sentences, and make sure information about future events is verifiable. NickelShoe 16:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I have unblocked User:204.43.65.1. I can't promise how long it will stay unblocked. If people keep vandalizing I am willing to reblock it. Sorry. Wikibofh(talk) 15:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Dragonlance pages
Well, basically we need to improve all of them. I have worked on Goldmoon and Riverwind, and now Sturm. I can think about the other Heroes of the Lance, the Heroes of the Heart, and almost all the other "evil" characters (Ariakas, Ariakan, Kitiara, Fewmaster Toede, etc).
The Doom Brigade is good enough to add information about Kang (if you don't have Draconian Measures, I can complete the missing information later). Also, the lists (especially characters and locations) need quite a boost, as most subsections are stubs.
At User:ReyBrujo/Tasks, in the Dragonlance section, I wrote as reminder some of the tasks I thought were needed. If you want, I can create a page in my user domain listing all the pages there are and their status, what each is missing, the pages that should be created and what each should have, and some other miscellaneous tasks to do, and then each of you can go there, put your name in one of the tasks, so that we don't overlap in a single article, and work on it, so that when the task is finished, the others can check and polish the articles. -- ReyBrujo 03:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Stylesheet: that is strange, as I made sure it would work fine at the different browsers at work. I will double check that, I only have Firefox at home.
- As for the tasks, I am writing a small draft at my sandbox. The main problem I see ahead with Dragonlance articles is the "Style". Articles in fiction should be written in a formal tone, and most character articles are written in a very in-universe (aka, as if they were alive). You can see the discussion at Talk:Goldmoon. Some articles, like Raistlin Majere, are focus of a lot of fans, who write as if Raistlin were alive. Modifying the article to match the formal expected tone may draw a lot of quarrels. That is why I started with the "less" known characters, like Goldmoon and Raistlin, because Raistlin, Tanis or Palin have too many fans who would not like a big change in the article style.
- There are a lot of stuff to do that are not "character" related, in example, we need to create articles for every book (if not for every book, at least for every series). As I said, locations and characters (also, artifacts) have a lot of potential. The author's articles are rather poor too. With Draconian Measures, you can expand the Draconian article, especially about females, create the article for the book following the guidelines, create and expand Kang, etc. Dragonlance has a near non-existant level right now at Misplaced Pages, so whatever you do is good for everybody :-) -- ReyBrujo 04:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
