Previously sent to your IP address Talk page:

I reversed your redirect on Falastur. NSwiki policy is that Nation pages are in Nation name, not nation+pretitle name. We do this because of link automation on the Infoboxes, among other things. We'll leave your old title up as a redirect page, but you should make any links directly to Falastur. Frisbeeteria Θtalk 22:43, 24 Oct 2004 (GMT)

(Falastur: "You got the code wrong on the redirect though") - please tell me how I got the code wrong on this. I used the built-in Move tool, which automatically creates a redirect on the old pagename. All redirects appear to be working just fine, so I don't understand this comment. Frisbeeteria Θtalk 14:48, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Not to beat a dead horse or anything - Wikipedia doesn't require a colon for redirects, and neither does NSwiki. I'm not sure why the redirect failed for you the first time, but it wasn't because it was coded wrong. Frisbeeteria Θtalk (horse beaten and returned to stables)

Rather than adding a new page for each element of your nation, why don't you put them on your nation page? A lot of small documents don't do anything but add to the load on the wiki. Also, you'll want to consider adding a factbook. Instructions are here. Frisbeeteria Θtalk 01:16, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Just like to note here (seeing your comments on Frisbeeteria's talk page) that I don't have anything against separate pages for items if they are more than stubs. I like how you have your king pages set up, but it would be nice if there was a little more content then one sentence. :) --Goobergunch|? 01:58, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)
There will be. But I was writing that one article at 3 in the morning, so understandably they were sparse and I intend to fill them up with more content later..... -- Falastur 07:51, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Howdy! I really like what you've done with your monarchs and am interested in doing something similar for Iansisle. I guess I am just writing to see if you'd mind me being a terrible copycat. If not, I'll think of another way to set it up. Thanks again! -- Iansisle 21:20, 30 Oct 2004 (GMT)

"...One last thing...mind if I ask how you came across my article? Just out of curiousity....."
I was just wandering the wiki one day and stumbled across it; the first thing to cross my mind was 'that's a darned good idea!' Since I've developed a fair amount of history for Iansisle, I figured a monarch list (Iansisle's history as an organized, independent state stretches back to 1091) might be a good idea. Thanks again, and best of luck with your own projects! I'll be keeping an eye on them. -- Iansisle 21:37, 30 Oct 2004 (GMT)
