Thanks. I am trying to learn and not destroy or making things to illegible where I edit or add content. So many thing to learn I didn't know where to start, but with those pages you listed I have a better place to look into more depth of article creation. shadzar|Talk|contribs 18:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] uploading images?

I am lost in the legal jargin. So for the Dragonlance logo it is of the Fifth-Age version of the logo, should I want to upload the original in its place, and add the 5th age logo back is this allowed? Same question for other logos related to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. They were all found on another website and I am more than willing to cite where i got the small @9kb images, but it states in the image upload to not use images found on websites...but I can't scan a clean copy of the image nor find it anymore on the Wizards of the Coast website. So should i upload these variants so that people can use them, or if they are found to be needed delete them. Or just not upload them at all? If yes to uploading them should i select Logo as the as the option under the Licensing section? Thanks for any help. shadzar|Talk|contribs 06:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

  • To answer your question, the general rule is to not upload any copyrighted material. Any work that is in the public domain may be uploaded. Sr13 08:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • So does that mean the logos should not be uploaded at all? shadzar|Talk|contribs 08:09, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I saw your cleanup on SimSoc which lead me to read this earlier. bumbling around I came across the {{logo}} template on another image. I thought it might lend some light to the issue. Darker Dreams 16:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horcruci and the second book?

While Tom Riddle's diary is in the second book, it is not identified as a Horcrux until book 6. Are you sure this isn't just a bit of retcon on behalf of J.K. Rowling? - Vedexent (talk) - 11:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Horcurx(S), Horcruxes(Pl), there is no such thing as Horcruci. I don't know if the diary is an afterthought or not, as I am not JKR. I only added information based on facts from within the books and what is shown in the section Known Horcruxes on the page itself. It is not my place to second guess an author. Just trying to help the article contain correct information as shown from known facts. shadzar|Talk|contribs 19:55, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] titular

derived from a title; "performed well in the titular (or title) role"; "the titular theme of the book" from princeton.edu

you sure saying titular character isn't correct in terms of Naruto? Thanks for help in clearifying. shadzar|Talk|contribs 02:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, it's incorrect. See Cambridge dictionary and dictionary.com, both only talk about rank such as Saint, not title as in the name of something. I could be wrong, but that's what I understand. Wirbelwind 02:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Odd Titular character redirects to Title character, but doesnt say anything about titular being incorrect use in English. Guess the verdict is still out on it, or it is like fish and fishes both ok as plural for fish. shadzar|Talk|contribs 03:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dungeons & Dragons logos

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Dungeons & Dragons logo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Dungeons & Dragons logos. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ... discospinster talk 14:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I wish I understood half of what you are saying. Well I removed the prod thing, andput the talk page reasons for the list creation, and why it was only just begun an is unfinished since a few hours ago. Doubtful you will read this response, but I placed it here anyway. shadzar|Talk|contribs 15:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Dragoneye

You do have a point. I'm not sure about the merge.

However, I have a question about it.

Wouldn't it be nice if each set in DDM had its own page, with more information?

I'm trying to make individual articles for each set in Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures, akin to the articles of Magic: The Gathering. Agreed?

If not, feel free to merge all of the following articles with the main article.

Nice doing business.

I don't know much about these new miniatures or if they are supposed to be a game expansions. I just noticed some 4 month old articles that were stubs and thought I would draw attention to them for either cleaning them up or expanding. Feel free to remove the merge thingy if there is enough to make a full article out of each set. shadzar|Talk|contribs 22:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll try to make an article out of each set then. The Ronin 17:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
