Majesty edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edit on the Majesty article. It's a great improvement over my rudimentary version and looks very professional, better than the rewrite I was working on (which in my case can well mean getting distracted for several weeks, so I don't mind) could've been. -- Kizor 22:21, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks and no problem! -- Muchness 22:56, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Tank moving

Thanks for moving Meat shield to Tank (computer gaming). I'd like to say that I was going to wait until dec 1 to move it, but in all reality I had forgotten I proposed that move on the talk page. :) --Syrthiss 22:24, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

No problem. :) --Muchness 22:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info you added to my talk page. (And I hope this is the correct method of responding ;) ). Good edits too on the Superhero RPG entry too. Markspace 21:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Talos

Wow. You did one heck of a job with the article; thanks. You're getting a Barnstar for this one. Rogue 9 10:03, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi, just a note to say thanks for the Barnstar. --Muchness 04:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem. You deserve it; without your efforts there, the article would honestly probably have remained a stub for a long time. My Forgotten Realms books are at home while I'm away at school. Rogue 9 04:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Blanking image at Wikiproject CVG

Re: your edit here, the image was blanked on November 1 ([1]). According to the editor who blanked the image, "it is apparently against Wikipedia policy to include fair use images outside of the article namespace." Wikipedia's fair use guidelines appear to back this up: "[Copyrighted, unlicenced] material should only be used in the article namespace."--Muchness 00:30, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. That probably makes sense, I'll change it back. Cheers! Jacoplane 00:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Gond

Hi, regarding the copy and paste allegation -- the article is sourced directly from Gond's entry in Faiths & Pantheons; the article you linked ([2]) is a word-for-word transcription of the sourcebook. I tried to be exhaustive in including all the info on Gond in Faiths & Pantheons; if you feel I've erred in making the source material and the current article close enough to warrant potential copyright infringement, I'll get to work on re-wording and reorganizing the article.--Muchness 01:10, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I was just surprised how much was added so fast, so I did a quick google search. I don't own Faiths & Pantheons myself, so I couldn't look it up in that one - I'll remove the link, no need for it, if that site is just a direct transcript. I see you removed all the info again - in a reworked form I would have nothing against it, but as said before, I was just suspicious of the likeness of the website. Poulsen 01:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem, you have a point that the article and source material are perhaps too close for comfort. In my defense, it's difficult to write a comprehensive article and avoid similarities when there's only one sourcebook. I'll start work on a rewrite.--Muchness 01:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

(NB I assure you that I typed the article and I was unaware of the website till you linked it). --Muchness 01:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
