thread_title:  TfD nomination of Template:{{ucfirst:Forgotten-Realms-Wikia}} 

message: I've just moved a banner from the top of this WikiProject page that tells people to ignore this project and submit material to the FR Wiki instead. From what I could see, they make no attempt to co-ordinate articles back here on Wikipedia. While a degree of cooperation is probably desirable, Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia and people should be able to find some level of information about Forgotten Realms here.
So I'm suggesting that their banner is deleted entirly. If they want to have an advert here (or on a Forgotten Realms portal page, should one be created) that is another thing, but their current message is negative hype that will hurt this project. 00:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I (founder of this very Wikiproject) created another banner yesterday. Only today did I see your message I am currently responding too. As I stated multiple times, I am very concerned about imperfect duplication of data. Tell me what you think of my initiative, because I really don't know what to think of it (it seems they are not playing fair, but I can't say much more).

replies: text: Guys, it's not a competition. It's not a "spam banner". It's not about "our wiki is better than your wiki". Many of the Forgotten Realms related detail and information is much too specific for Wikipedia, and would be deleted if added here. The editors at FR-wiki could come back here and reproduce the same information, but different templates, layouts and styles are used on that wiki, so much extra work is involved. In essence this is merely duplicating data, when a simple summary of the topic and a link to the FR-wiki at Wikipedia would be more appropriate. Fw190a8 03:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How about every wikimedia system in the world come and put their mark in every article in Wikipedia ? every article will be filled with SPAMs, making them un-readable. I don't think so. --Cynehelm 15:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your assertion is non-sensical, Cynehelm. There are very few other "wikimedia systems" which might contain an article on (for example) Amn, the fictional Forgotten Realms country, with greater detail than Wikipedia. Even fewer have actually marked the fact that they have greater detail than Wikipedia. (One has: Forgotten Realms Wiki.) Aside from this, the original discussion here relates to the removal of a banner at the top of a project page. This project had already been declared inactive by its founder, David Latapie, who has encouraged the use of Forgotten Realms Wiki, to a point. Please note that this banner was added by the very founder of the project. Cynehelm, I would like to encourage you to read Wikipedia's civility policy with regard to your last comment because it could have been phrased more constructively. Fw190a8 01:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: There you are, promoting the FR wiki yet again. Listen, if this project is DEAD doesn't mean that all FR articles here are dead, doesn't mean people stop updating fr articles, they can do so regardless of this project. i myself a fr freaak never noticed this project until someone invited me. The goal of this project was focused on the "Geography" of FR, which does not cover every fr articles. If you want to put that fr wiki has an article thing, i think you can put them in the external link or references sections. I didn't check with wiipedia policy, but what you are doing now is a bad demonstration. Soon there will be tons of templates such as bob's web site has an article about this, my shop sell this thing, etc.

text: Hey, you two, stop it. While I do slightly agree with Cynehelm, I think it would be best if the box remained, but was instead re-worded to sound a little less hostile, even though it probably wasn't meant to be. Maybe something allong the lines of "Another wiki, called Forgotten Realms Wiki, also features information on this subject.". James.Denholm 10:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The main goal of the mergings is to cut down on stubs, and create pages, not of long prose, but overview of each region, with links and references to further reading. Minor geographical sites will be merged with countries or regions, there will still be 9 geographical regions, plus three additional meta-regions, Underdark, Island Kingdoms of Faerûn (minor islands across Faerûn), Lost Empires of Faerûn (historical countries).

replies: text:  Poulsen: the rough geopolitical sorting should only sort sovereign places (plus some places like Western Heartlands) Your above rearrangement is only for internal work, what to merge and what not to. That is why Erlkazar, for instance, is at the same level as Tethyr on the geopolitical sorting, while it is not (because it will be merged) in your above rearrangement.

thread_title:  Proposed rearrangement 

message: I will rearrange the discussion, as it becomes too dense. I use history to know what you changed, I think it is the best idea. Until you reply, I keep the old text under comments. If everything's OK, I will remove it late.
=== Regions ===
Reuse your above index. Regions (such as Land of Intrigue, Old Empires...) should not have their own article but would help people figuring out how are the Realms and so are useful for a general mapping (like a “welcome screen”).
Example: where is Nicaragua? In Central America. I guess you see the point.
=== (Temporary) Merging ===
Good idea with these additional infos:
* Provided enough information is given, the place will ultimately get its own article. Think CIA World Factbook.
* Let's use your own variant as a starter (a very good one, I like it very much)
* Modify it that way:
** 2. Official Material => 2. Official Material (Thesk)  
** 3. External Links => 3. External Links (Thesk)
Granted, it does not respect stantard Wikipedia style, but our article doesn't respect it either, so...
* Moved articles should have a redirect, right to the section (not the page: Thesk#Telflamm instead of Thesk).
* Maybe also an introductory notice like this is a concantenated article about... in order to avoid good-will people to change the whole thing. I'm not sure it is necessary, though, as we are the only one working on it :-) So let's consider this as an option.
In the midst of your edits, I tried to merge the sources/links/.. in my variant, in the moved-to location, Wikipedia:WikiProject Forgotten Realms/Concatenated article, to 1) not have redundant section names, and 2) concentrate the links/info in one place, making it easier to access.

thread_title:  (Temporary) Merging 

message: * As you said, oddities like Waukeen's Promenade should be merged with the corresponding city (Athkatla, in that case)
* Attention: I continually speak of sovereign places, not sovereign states — this is on purpose. I consider Waterdeep (or arguably Telflamm) as a sovereign place. They are free cities. I don't know for Baldur's Gate, but Athkatla definitely is not a sovereign place. It is capital city. Check the Cities-states entry. This project is about sovereign places, I'd like to avoid any confusion on this. A possibility could be to use the FR Cities templates for non-sovereign cities exclusively — which, on you list, would leave only Athkatla as a candidate.
* Clusters of free cities (like Ten Towns or the various cities in Western Heartlands) should be grouped together. Renaissance's Venice should have its own entry, but not Middle Ages's Lyon, for instance.
Oh, I had never seen that index before, that's immensely helpful! @Athkatla, you're right about it being the only city eligible. So let us (me) leave the city templates alone and take one problem at a time, the merging/non-merging-question.Poulsen 11:25, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposal for new template entries 

message: I'm curious and confused about why this project is focused solely on the geography of Faerûn. The Fogotten Realms encompasses much more than this, and several regular contributors to FR-related wikipedia articles have stressed they prefer instead to edit works on the characters, deities, history and species of FR. So why the focus on geography? 
It's an admirable task, but it seems needlessly narrow to make it so specific when a WikiProjectFR should encompass all FR has to offer. -Erolos 20:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

text: As far as how far we can go is concerned, I believe most of it is a case of "look for precedent" and then try to model it at that level. Having said that, some pages do tend to extend beyond the definition of being encyclopedic. I believe the main aim should be to provide enough information for people to gain an understanding of what the topic is about (ie as would any encyclopedia), but not go too far that you are basically copying large sections from the source material or spelling everything out such that people can use this material as a "one stop shop" for everything they need on the topic.

The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages: 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
*User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
*User:Badbilltucker/Science directory
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory.
The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. 
It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.
