:Yeah to add on to what Chaos said, remember that its good to cite information on pages, which the Guides and Policies part of the wiki has info on. Also make sure to capitalize terms correctly. If you want a handy tool (that I use a lot), [[user:Chaos2651/Capitalization]] is a page with lots of info on what terms are to be capitalized. For example, names of Allomantic metals: tin, brass, copper, etc, aren’t capitalized. However, Tineye, Soother, Smoker, etc, are capitalized.
:One more thing, if something like a character or the Well of Ascension is mentioned in your writing, and it isn’t linked earlier on the page, make sure you link it. ( by putting two brackets on either side)
:Just something to keep in mind when you’re making edits! : ) [[User:Taln Fan|Taln Fan]] ([[User talk:Taln Fan|talk]]) 12:44, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
== Citations and spelling ==
Hello! We appreciate your contributions here, and thank you for running them through spellcheck, as it seems like you've been doing that. However, I wanted to reach out to you again about some things. I know that spellcheck won't catch names or terms that Brandon has made up for his books, so could you perhaps double check how you are spelling those things? That can be difficult if you are perhaps an audiobook reader, but you could either search for the pages in the sidebar or just look through the page you're editing to compare your spelling with how the name or term is spelled elsewhere in the article. This will also help save effort on behalf of the other editors, who would otherwise have to come through and correct the spelling. Thanks for understanding this.
Also, we here at the Coppermind try to be very strict on adding only information that is sourced to any article. I've seen that most of your edits don't have any citations on them, so maybe I could point you to [[Help:References]] as a resource to learn about that. There's a small learning curve, but we'd be happy to help you if there's something you don't understand about how to do that. If you are unable to track down where the information came from in the book, you could add <nowiki>{{cite}}</nowiki> to the end of the paragraph to indicate that, and someone else can look for the citation later.
