Greetings
Hi Firesong! Thanks for all the work you've been putting in on The Lost Metal! To hopefully alleviate some confusions for you, I wanted to let you know that edits like the one you reverted on MeLaan's page (thank you for that!), where someone almost inexplicably removes things, can often be the result of someone editing with the Time Machine active. They're looking at old versions of pages to avoid spoilers and then when they make an edit, the site loads that old version of the page and they accidentally revert all the intervening changes. It's a weird little quirk of how the system works. Also, as a minor note, the {{spoilers}} and {{update}} tags should be placed after the infobox, so that they don't push everything else on the page down. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions—we also have a Discord server for Coppermind editors where most of our coordination and discussion happens these days, which you're welcome to join—and happy editing!

Howdy!
Hey Firesong,
You've been tearing it up on here lately! Bravo!. Seriously, I see your username everywhere I go and its awesome. I am working on a few projects and I noticed that you had left a summary on 'The Village'. If you don't mind, I'd like to go ahead and take that page. If you do, please let me know so I can remove my edits or whatnot.
Thanks again for the awesome work!

Well, if you want to do it yourself, no need to ask my permission, go on ahead.

Hoid Page
Hi Firesong,
I wanted to reach out because I saw you've been editing the Hoid page. That is a long term project of mine that I have been (far) too slow working on, but I didn't want you to be unnecessarily duplicating work. I have a very in depth Stormlight summary for Hoid and some other changes that I've actually been trying to trim down. It's located here if you want to take a look. I hope that this does not come across as an admonishment, I really appreciate the work you've been contributing and it's really on me that I haven't gotten this stuff on the page yet. If you could hold off on making any major changes until after the Christmas holiday or so, I would appreciate it. I should have my changes up by then. Happy to chat about it further if you've got any questions. Thanks again for all your work!

- Alrighty, I'll restrain myself. Just try not to completely replace my relationships section. But go ahead with the history, I was just making a short skeleton for the purposes of just making sure we had *something* on his RoW history, the emptiness was driving me crazy. I actually looked at your draft, and it makes more sense how you are doing it then we have been, as we try in-world terminology for history in every other page, just not Hoid. So good on you for working on fixing that. -- Firesong (talk) 15:48, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- I am not intending on completely replacing the relationships section, but I do have thoughts on it, and we may have to work together a bit, because I am not sure all of these are necessary to exist on the page, or that some of them couldn't be combined into larger subsections instead of a bunch of three line sections. --Windrunner (talk) 05:03, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Armal Harms?
Hey Firesong,
First just want to say thanks so much for your help throughout the site. :)
I'm just writing as to inquire about Armal Harms, I saw it was red linked and was going to create a page for it but couldn't find any citations for them on the House Harms page. Then checking through the history it seems you added them recently to the page, by any chance do you remember what chapter or book he is mentioned?--Debarra (talk) 23:45, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, just forgot to fix that. Coppermind is just listing her as Armal as she married and most likely doesn't go by Harms anymore. She was briefly mentioned in Alloy of Law, and was one of the members of the Community in TLM. Helped Marasi a lot and contributed to killing Gave Entrone. Thanks for pointing that out. --Firesong (talk) 23:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
Wayne's Surname
Hi Firesong! I just wanted to give an explanation of why I removed your suggestion to change the name of Wayne's page from Wayne to Wayne Terrisborn, and why I changed the first sentence of his page to simply refer to him as "Wayne". The main reason is that "Terrisborn" isn't actually his surname, but is instead a placeholder name used by Call and Son and Daughters Accounting and Estate. The other Keepers and I agreed that it'd be better to just go with Wayne for the name of his article, and to just put a short explanation on his page about his placeholder surname.
