Editing User talk:Kynan

== Welcome! ==
Hey there Kynan, thank you so much for your epic work on the Kholin's pages :D They are excellent. [[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 13:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
: A few points to help you edit better:
:* because the Cosmere books are all in the same universe, it has been decided that the articles should be written in the past tense
:* you only need to link the first instance of something on a page
:* it's ok to only use the first name of the character when referring to someone already mentioned on that page (especially the subject of the article)
:* a personal opinion, but we(I) prefer having each sentence on a new line, it makes the diff prettier too :D
:* another minor thing, it's much better if you refrain from using curly quotes and apostrophes, stick with the plain " and ' characters.
:* links to character articles should probably not include honorifics (eg <nowiki>[[Highprince Sadeas]]</nowiki> should be <nowiki>Highprince [[Sadeas]]</nowiki>) and links should be singular (<nowiki>[[Highprince]]s</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Highprinces]]</nowiki>)
:Thanks again for the amazing articles, these aren't criticisms, just things that are likely to mean we need to edit your input :) [[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 14:01, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I've never edited a wiki before so it is interesting to learn the correct way of doing things. I shall endeavour to do better next time!
I have attempted to fix the "Dalinar Kholin" page. Please give some feedback so I know if I am on the right track. Note: Even though some of the links are written like "[[Shardplate]]s" the whole word still comes up in blue. Damn it see what I mean? (You will if you go into the edit thing)

-::: hey there Kynan. For a first timer, you're doing awesomely :D and indeed, it seems that shardplates redirects you to shardplate, but it's not always the case, and that redirect may be deleted since it's bad policy. [[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 05:45, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
-:::: I meant that I put the 's' outside of the bracket, yet the whole word still shows up blue. And I know which chapters the quotes come from on the Elhokar page but am unsure on how to edit the references section at the bottom of the page. Cheers
-::::: Oh, well if you add characters that touch the brackets, they automatically get added into the link like [[Vin]]egar for example XD. And to edit the references, search for <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags in the article [[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 18:30, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
-I'm not sure what you mean there. It just says "references /" in bracket things and I don't know how to edit that.
-:I worked it out in the end. So I presume that any and all quotes should be referenced?
-:: pretty much, and any other questionable/arcane facts. As much as possible really :D [[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] 19:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
