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)

Happy editing! → Frisbeeteria Θtalk 23:00, 24 Oct 2004 (GMT)
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)
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery
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)

factbook subcategories
Re: Category:Falasturian Monarchs - we don't have anything in official policy about this, because frankly I don't think anyone saw the possibility of it ... but do you really need subcategories off of your factbook? Goobergunch and I have been trying to keep category growth under control. We're already past 200 categories. A single national factbook should be able to capture all that is relevant about a nation, and in this specific instance you already have rather obvious names as well as a reference page, List of Falasturian monarchs. Must we have a new category too?
Remember, NSwiki is an encyclopedia of NationStates activity. I don't believe Goober ever intended it to be a place to post the complete backstory of everything that happened pre-NS. Your histories are well-written, solid, and very nice ... but what do they have to do with the NS nation of Falastur or its roleplaying or gameplaying history? Give that a bit of thought if you would, and respond here with comments.
