You should have a glance at wanted pages. A lot of those are based around your links. Consider this a suggestion to either make more pages or less links. {grin} → Fris Θtalk 17:34, 7 Dec 2004 (GMT)

More articles are coming. I intend to write articles for everyone of my links sooner or later. --Pantocratoria 06:28, 8 Dec 2004 (GMT)


Just informing you that: "The subject of the article should be mentioned in bold text (subject) at a natural place in the first sentence, or at least the first paragraph. The name of the subject may appear slightly different from the title of the page, or may include variations, but normally it is identical to the page title."

Putting titles in names is fine I think as well, esp. in nations. eg: If you had "The Holy and Most August Empire of Pantocratoria" at the beginning of your nation's introductory section, it would be fine to put the entire title in bold, or just the name (ie:Pantocratoria). It's really up to you, these are just suggestions. But I personally think that if the text bolded is too lengthy (eg: "The [massively titled] Immortal Shogunate and Affiliated Territories of Reploid Productions" ), it is my conviction that it can look ugly.

Thanks Rechze. I've been adding bold to a few of my pages, and I'll finish them all over the next few days. My general approach has been to bold the most immediate part of a character's title, for example, on the page Anna Capet, Princess Anna is bolded instead of Her Imperial Highness the Most Pious Princess Anna. Seems too long otherwise. --Pantocratoria 14:45, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)


(side point: very nice factbook). For some of your articles on rulers (eg:Demetrius_V_Palaeologus) you have tables like so:

This is simply a suggestion: On the ruler's of Falastur articles, (eg:Matthew_I_of_Falastur) the following type of next/previous ruler navigation bar exists:

Preceded by:
--
Governor of Falastur Island
1706-1715
Succeeded by:
--

You may or may not choose to use the above shown style of navigation bar, but I will inform you (unless you already know) that it is also is very commonly used on wikipedia (eg:Wikipedia:Nasser). Regards, Rechze(talk) 15:04, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)


Thanks again for the tip - I wanted to use those things originally but for some reason the thought didn't occur to me to get the code out of Wikipedia. Must have been tired. It'll take me a little while but I'll slowly convert over my old table to that table. Any ideas about how to fit co-emperors into it? --Pantocratoria 15:18, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)

This is what I have formulated for co-emperors, I suppose you could use slightly different navigational bars on different articles depending on the circumstances (eg. one has co-emperors that other one does not)
Preceded by:

Emperor of Pantocratoria
1232-1233
Succeeded by:

Co-rulers
Emperor someone I
Empress someone II
Emperor someone III
