<div style="float:right; padding-left:5px;">{{/awards}}</div> I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. Finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this for figuring that out. I started reading [[Brandon Sanderson\|Brandon]]'s works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I've got some miscellaneous resources and notes on this page, as well as a vague list of [[#Projects]] and my [[#Subpages]]. I'm also a [[Coppermind:Keepers\|Keeper]] and member of the [[Coppermind:Synod\|Synod]], which basically means I'm someone you can come to if you want some help getting started on the Coppermind, have any questions about wiki policies or guidelines, want some advice on how to handle something, think there's something that needs to be done that you don't have permissions for, run into an issue with another editor, or otherwise need help with something Coppermind-related. Feel free to contact me via any of the options listed on [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}\|my talk page]]. I often take inspiration for edits from things I see in [[Special:RecentChanges]] so if I edit something you just did, it's probably not because you did anything wrong, I just saw something else on the page that I thought could be improved. ~~'''Current Projects'''~~ [[Special:Diff/114568\|My thousandth edit]] came in the middle of a spree to fix the book parameter in all the [[Skyward (series)\|Skyward]] infoboxes and [[Special:Diff/169139\|my ten thousandth edit]] was adding a disambiguation note to between Tindwyl and Tindwyl Ladrian (I note that only so that I can remember in five years exactly which page it was). Queen [[Tsa]]: Finished writing article; I have an ebook of Oathbringer coming in a few weeks, and I'll search that to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes in.

As a check for each series has to be added manually, some exemplary articles may be missed.

Current exemplary articles are included in the list of complete articles and a separate list of current exemplary articles by page length is provided for ease of referencing where the complete articles stand relative to current exemplary ones. As a child, Becca lived on the the battle cruiser [[Defiant]], where she worker in the engine room alongside [[Spensa's great-grandmother\|her mother]]. When doing so, she practiced "listening to the stars."{{book ref\|Skyward\|1}} During this time, she learned many ancient legends of [[Earth (Skyward)\|Old Earth]] from [[Spensa's great-grandfather\|her father]].{{book ref\|Skyward\|45}} {\| width=100% Not much is known about what she did in the years following the crash of the Defiant, though she claims that those who worked in the engine room, Clan Motorskaps, stuck together.{{book ref\|Skyward\|1}} Since at least the time of her son's death, she has been living with her granddaughter, [[Spensa Nightshade]], and [[Spensa's mother]]. Since Spensa's mother is forbidden a job, she assists in keeping the family financially stable by helping prepare algae wraps and the rats Spensa kills to be sold. While living with Spensa, she frequently tells her granddaughter the stories of Old Earth heroes that she heard from her father and says that all of Old Earth's great warriors are Spensa's ancestors. {{book ref\|Skyward\|1}} \|- \| style="vertical-align:top" \|'''Current Exemplary Articles''' <dynamicpagelist> category = Exemplary articles ordermethod = length mode = ordered </dynamicpagelist> \| style="vertical-align:top" \|'''Complete Articles by Size''' {{columns\|count=4\| <dynamicpagelist> category = Complete articles ordermethod = length mode = ordered count = 48 </dynamicpagelist> }} \|} == ~~Abilities~~Projects == === Primary === ~~{{theory}}~~ Fabrial parameter on {{t\|metal}} infobox? As her mother, her son, and her granddaughter all have Cytonic abilities, it is likely that Becca does as well. The fact that her mother had her perform exercises to "listen to the stars" suggests that, at minimum, her mother though it likely that Becca would develop Cytonic abilities{{book ref\|Skyward\|1}} and the DDF seems to believe that Cytonic abilities are inherited.{{cite}} Furthermore, despite her blindness, Becca is able to unerringly focus her eyes on Spensa during a conversation,{{book ref\|Skyward\|45}} which seems similar to how [[Jason Write]] overcame his blindness by using his Cytonic abilities to sense the world around him.{{book ref\|elysium}} * Implementing [[/Subpage list]]? * Standards for Uncanonical titles vs Unnamed characters categories? * Spoiler redirect template? === ~~Notes~~General quality === * Articles in need of help: See [[:Category:Articles in need of attention]], [[:Category:Articles in need of citations]], [[:Category:Articles in need of clarification]], [[:Category:Articles missing information]], [[:Category:Articles with disputed content]]. ~~<references />~~ * Check articles linking to {{t\|17s ref}}, {{t\|Qa ref}} (should only be User pages left), {{t\|Twg ref}}, and {{t\|Sots ref}}. * Find chapters for [[:Category:Chapterless references]]. * Other: See list at [[Special:SpecialPages]]. ==== Keep an eye on ==== * [[:Category:Sidequote with lazy parameters]] ** Is it worth trying to change the sidequote template to eliminate this?
