:Thank you so much! I've just really gotten into the Reckoners series again lately, and decided to help with some of the pages that are a little lacking in detail. Thank you for the encouragement! I really appreciate it. - Mathy Nerdius

Hey Mathy Nerdius! I wanted to reiterate how awesome your work is; Reckoners does not get a lot of attention at all and I'm pretty sure most of the pages are lacking more than a little detail. Given the update you just did on Abraham (which was great, by the way!) I think you might be noticing that. Speaking of the Abraham page, I wanted to mention a few things. King of Herdaz is right; we like to keep content, including section names, "in-world." Feel free to tweak the ones he used if you think something else would fit better though. Don't feel bad about this though; it's ''so'' much easier for use to adjust little things like this than write the 20,000 bytes of content you did. Given the state most Reckoners articles are in, I wouldn't be surprised if you were just copying from a different article; if you do see others with section names like that (or with references to the book in the article prose itself), go ahead and adjust them. Another minor thing: using <code><nowiki>==== Subsection title ====</nowiki></code> is also generally better than <code><nowiki>;Subsection title:</nowiki></code> since it means the subsections show up on the table of contents; let us know if you had a particular reason for using the semicolon version. I would agree with King of Herdaz that you probably don't need section breaks quite as often though.<br />

The second main thing I wanted to mention is that when you save an edit, it's usually good to check the references section to make sure all of the wobs you used have been imported (basically, we have to create a page on the Coppermind that stores some the metadata so that the references look nice). If you look [[User:Big_Smooth/Sandbox#Notes|here]], you can see the difference in how imported and unimported wobs show up in the References section. To import a wob, all you have to do is click the "missing reference description, click to import" red link and then save the new page that comes up (for an example of what the cite page actually looks like after you're done, see [[Cite:Arcanum-3125‎]]). This is another very minor that's easy to miss thing, so again, don't feel bad about not knowing it; like I said, you're doing amazing work overall. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and happy editing!<br />
