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.

Welcome!

Hey there Kynan, thank you so much for your epic work on the Kholin's pages :D They are excellent. 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 [[Highprince Sadeas]] should be Highprince [[Sadeas]]) and links should be singular ([[Highprince]]s instead of [[Highprinces]])
Thanks again for the amazing articles, these aren't criticisms, just things that are likely to mean we need to edit your input :) Joe ST 14:01, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
