Hi there. You're creating a lot of small pages for Frisbee Freaks and related provinces and corporations and such. I'm hoping you're planning on expanding them into full articles. If not, would you mind slowing your pace a bit and consider creating Frisbee Freaks Provinces or something similar, all on a single page? Short articles that don't link up to a lot of material don't add anything but bulk to the directory. If you have more material, great. If not, let's pause for a bit, ok? → Fris Θtalk 02:54, 13 Nov 2004 (GMT)


Also, I just rolled back Category:Languages and added Dinosaur language to the category properly. You might want to take a few minutes to read some of the help pages, especially the page editing section, to see how things are designed to work around here. You'll also want to glance at Category:Factbooks after a bit. → Fris Θtalk 02:59, 13 Nov 2004 (GMT)

Frisbee Freak Civil Wars

Re: recategorizing Frisbee Freak Civil Wars - that page looks to me like an entirely internal history, and as such belongs in your national factbook, not the more general Category:Wars. As a rule, the Wars category should be reserved for roleplayed wars between NS nations, not something from a private RP history. If I've misinterpreted this and it actually took place within NS continuity, then it could conceivably go in both. → Fris Θtalk 00:42, 18 Nov 2004 (GMT)

Foxsian links

For some reason, you set up the Foxsian page with the paragraph headers as links rather than simply parapgraph headings. The result was articles that aren't stand-alone articles, with extremely cumbersome article names like A few basic words-E yaw begeg yortva and Grammar and Pronounciation-Mauuaa aber wiaancay.

I've incorporated the two articles above into the basic Foxsian page, and would appreciate it if you would create all future Foxsian materials into the Foxsian page. It's best if you don't create links just to create links - long articles are fine, and pages like the above two just don't make sense as standalones.

I've marked these two for consensus deletion, but you could speed up the process (if you agree with the above argument) by replaceing the current content with a {{delete}} tag. If you don't agree, make you case on Talk:A few basic words-E yaw begeg yortva, and we'll let the community decide. → Fris Θtalk 20:18, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)

As a side note, I once again noticed that there is no NS content on the page. Is this language spoken in any NS nation? Does it relate to any roleplay activity, or is it just back-story that you want to include? Please bear in mind that this is the NationStates wiki, not just a place to post all the cool stuff you've thought of. It needs to not only be about NS, but include links to relevant nations and/or roleplay events. → Fris Θtalk 20:26, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
Yeah. The policy is that if you want to create original, never-before-seen content here, you have to help pay my webhosting bills. --Goobergunch|? 20:36, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
No one has any argument with your ability to create NS-related content, only in how it is presented. All of Foxsian, along with the Hittite connection, can easily be incorporated into a single article. If you need to expand beyond one article, then create a linked article that actually makes sense. Creating a new article for each paragraph is not how it is done in either Wikipedia or NSwiki, and that is the only argument here. → Fris Θtalk 21:44, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)
