If I talk to myself, does that make me crazy? singed_light (talk) 21:33, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think so. :-) Daranios (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the better question is, if I reply to myself does that make you crazy? singed_light (talk) 04:02, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, probably. But do I care? *maniacal laugh* singed_light (talk) 04:02, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reorx[edit]

Hello! I have noticed that you removed a comment that Reorx and other Dragonlance deities are featured in the Genesis LPMud game from List of Dragonlance deities as "not on the subject of the article". I would rather like to have that comment because:

In other articles about fictional topics such information is often kept under the heading "in popular culture". Here there is to little information to warrant its own heading, but the information itself is, in my opinion, not out of place.
The comment is mainly about Reorx, and only in passing about the other Dragonlance deities, but Reorx does not have his own article, so it would be part of the scope of the article.
And lastly, many articles about fictional subjects are critisized for containing only primary sources. This bit of information however shows that Reorx and other Dragonlance deities have spread outside pure D&D.

So, would you object to reintroducing the information based on these arguments? Thanks for your opinion. Daranios (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now referenced Genesis LPMud in Dragonlance and Ansalon, as I could get this information easily from the homepage. In general I am approaching the thing from the other direction: As a Dragonlance fan I would like to show that Dragonlance, and individual features of it, have spread beyond D&D, using Genesis LPMud as an example. I would like to give this small plus in notablity to List of Dragonlance deities specifically by undoing your removal. The reference used there seems to specifically refer to Reorx. I would be happy if this was expanded to all Dragonlance deities, but I personally do not have access to the original material that would confirm that. So would you object to putting the reference for Reorx back in? Daranios (talk) 13:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with you if Wikipedia worked along the lines I would like best. But I have seen many articles about fictional sujects deleted or merged because they did not feature secondary sources and thus were not considered notable for Wikipedia. The appearances of Dragonlance's gods outside D&D could be considered secondary sources (so the D&D computer games would not count, I guess, but the MUDs might). And then they could be one small item of "defense" against missing notability. If you like, we could both have an eye on the article as it is now, and put forward the use of the gods in these MUDs in case there is a push to remove the article based on the above?
