| − | Hey!
| |
| − | | |
| − | I saw that you've started this over on livejournal, and in your getting started that you might want a CSS/HTML editor and/or an artist. I've not edited Wiki sites before but I'm pretty fluent in buth CSS and HTML (anything I don't know, I'm willing to learn!), Photo-shop savvy and I'm looking for projects at the moment. And of course, I love Temeraire, so I'd be pretty excited to help out.

| − | == dragon categories ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi there. I started out on the wiki with a plan of adding in more detail on the Chinese dragons from Throne of Jade. I started with sorting by nationality, so that you could browse by nationality rather than just by first letter. However, the category for Chinese Dragon Breeds was deleted without comment. So, what's up? It seemed to me that browsing by nationality adds to the information and functionality. --[[User:Jhkim|Jhkim]] 23:06, 28 January 2007 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi -- more detail on the Chinese dragons is definitely welcome! With respect to the categories, I'd like to keep the categories to a manageable number while we concentrate on getting articles written -- I've seen wikis with things categorized down to an inch of their life, and frankly, it becomes more confusing than helpful. The current category structure is something I drew out on paper, with the goal in mind of being useful but simple, and not so overspecific that we end up with tons of categories and subcategories that only have 3-5 articles each.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Secondarily, although we may eventually want to categorize the dragon breeds by some kind of geographical grouping, I'm not sure nationality is necessarily the best route to go. It has more than one meaning -- is it the nation the dragon is loyal to, or where that particular breed was first discovered or bred? If it's the second (which I think would be more useful) then "nationality" can be kind of misleading (it's been a bit problematic in some cases with "National Loyalty" in the dragon profile) and I think we need another name and way to make it clear.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So I think it's something that needs a bit more thought before we plow ahead, and it's not something we need to decide right away. Plus, once we decide to go ahead, someone needs to take the responsibility for putting all the dragons into their proper subcategories -- which is about 60 pages that will need updating. At the moment, I'd rather that kind of time be spent on writing new articles -- we have red links that need help all over the place. :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm sorry I didn't explain more thoroughly, that was my bad, and I apologize! - [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 09:39, 29 January 2007 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | OK, I'll bring up the topic of categories on the general Talk page. I think that with breeds it is fairly clear that "Chinese dragon breeds" refers to breeds which came about in China rather than national loyalty. In general approach to wikis is to add in information and then refine it later, rather than holding off adding until a master plan is complete. However, if it's controversial then I'll certainly discuss it first. --[[User:Jhkim|Jhkim]] 15:54, 29 January 2007 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I totally agree with the approach of adding *information* -- but categorizing isn't really adding information, it's organizing it, and I think we'd be better serving the wiki to approach that in a methodical way. Saying that "Chinese dragon breeds" refers to breeds which originated in China makes sense -- but it might not for all other breeds (where do the ferals go, for example?) and if we're going to categorize, we have to do it for all the breeds, not just for one subgroup, or it doesn't make much sense to do it. - [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 17:37, 29 January 2007 (PST)

| − | | |
| − | Hi, Just in case you don't spot it in some other way. There's a second page about Jeremy Rankin, called just [[Rankin]] that someone's posted that should probably be deleted. I don't have the ability to do it as far as I know. Do you? Or indeed do I and I need to learn how? :D --[[User:Andrew|Andrew]] 08:05, 5 February 2007 (PST)

| − | Hi, thanks -- deletion is restricted for the moment, just out of caution. That page definitely needed deletion, though, and I took care of it. Thank you for pointing it out. - [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 08:32, 5 February 2007 (PST)

| − | Hi -- we're not really looking for summaries as such, but for contributions to specific articles. A good place to check is in the Getting Started article, which is linked from the front page.

| − | == Articles on historical matters (new!) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi there! I noticed your call for 'history buffs', and although I'm no expert, I love the books (and history in general) well enough to want to be involved. However, about some of the stubs regarding historical figures, events, and objects... is it reasonable to include historical facts such as Nelson's birth of date, even though it's not mentioned in the three books? In other words, when can history be assumed as canon? (Sorry if the question is silly.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, would the TemeraireWiki like cover scans from the UK editions of the books, to complement the American versions?
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[User:Viviena|viviena]] 02:15, 9 February 2007 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I know I'd love to see the UK covers on here too. I can't speak for everyone though. Regarding Nelson, there is a brief mention of him in Temeraire (Or His Majesty's Dragon) as he survives the Battle of Trafalgar. I think Lawrance also mentions meeting him at the Battle of The Nile. So I expect including his DoB is reasonable. More generally though, the matter is tricky. What about Pitt's death in Black Powder War? How close does that match the historical dates? Can we assume everything is business as usual unless told otherwise? --[[User:Andrew|Andrew]] 03:57, 9 February 2007 (PST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi, Viviena -- Easy question first -- yes, we'd love to have the UK covers. Great idea!
| |
| − | | |
| − | As to the historical events -- we can't be 100% sure what's safe to assume and what's not, but assuming that history is the same until contradicted is pretty much the approach that [[user:strangerface|strangerface]] and I took when we were getting things started here back in the fall. I think stuff like Napoleon's birthday is probably safe to assume -- if it's contradicted later, well, we change it!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Overall, what I was really hoping for was for someone well-versed in history to take a look at pages like those under [[:Category:Battles]] and take a pass at making them as historically authentic as possible, while including the changes in the text -- like the involvement of dragons! If you read the description, of, say, the [[Battle_of_Trafalgar]], it really is quite similar to the historical one, except for, you know, dragons! I did the best I could on my initial draft of pages like this, but I am no expert on naval warfare, and I'm sure someone who is could add a lot of insight and authenticity to the page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have a look [[Category_talk:Historical_Figures|here]], there's a fairly long list of historical figures who have no page at all yet -- any help on them would be most appreciated, even brief biographical stubs. - [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 09:56, 9 February 2007 (PST)

| − | == Another artist! (new?) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi there. :) I'm a roaming [http://coronaviridae.deviantart.com artist] who just lately stumbled into the Temeraire fandom, and I have to say I'm enthralled. If you'll have me, I'd love to join in on the project of illustrating the dragon breed pages (and individual dragons, too, as needed).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I can probably also cook up maps as needed, though it's been a while since I did any serious cartography... I'm also happy to do polishing/spot-editing of articles as I see errors, and can probably be induced to help out with filling in the pages on historical personages. ;) Give me a holler if there's something in specific you want to see my energies directed toward.

| − | We'd absolutely love it -- begin anywhere you like; anyone can upload! Re maps, I'd love a map showing the sea journey from England to China, and the overland journey from China -> Turkey -> Prussia. Really, we'd appreciate any way you'd like to contribute!

| − | You definitely have a job ahead of you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I was thinking about making contributions to the Wiki,but I am not much of a historian. As far as the Characters go( I see a couple of the admirals need a biography)how accurate do they need to be? I assume fictional characters don't necessarily need to have historical accuracy. So, do I get to indulge my "creative side" on something like that? Please let me know if I can be of help in any way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mark P. Arsenault (scifinc@yahoo.com)
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Hi Mark -- we'd like the entries to be "accurate" as far as the books go, not necessarily real life. See the discussions on the main talk page re historical figures. As far as indulging the creative side, we hope people will do that with way they choose to write, but not with the "facts" themselves. If contributors begin making things up wholesale, the wiki won't be of much use to those trying to find information from the books, which is what we hope to do.

The first: "I would have liked Hamilton to negotiate with the Japanese but Tecumseh is a good man too to do this." The second: "Yes Temeraire, I've seen the President already and I've even had tea with him." Madison was President, I don't think Tecumseh was in NN's universe.

| − | There's not, because it isn't really the purpose of the wiki, but I don't have an objection if one is started if there's someone interested in keeping it updated. If such a page is started, it should go under the "TemeraireWiki" hierarchy and not in the main content area. - [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 21:35, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

| + | I'm not sure whether I may ask it here or not. Where are the answers of "Ask Naomi" posted? It was reactivated but I just find these two FAQ answers. Second: When I first vistited this Wikia, Lung Tien Zhi was a son of Lung Tien Ming and you didn't know how Ming was related to the other Celestials. Now, Ming and Zhi are cousins and sons of Lung Tien Xian. Did somebody asked NN about it or for which other reason did you change it? Third: Does NN answers more questions for those who were busy writing on the Wikia? [[User:LordJinai|LordJinai]] ([[User talk:LordJinai|talk]]) -7. July 2015- (CET) 10:12AM |

| − | Hi! I'm kinda new here but I'm wondering if adding which book the characters first appear (and possibly killed) or if they don't "appear," are mentioned, might make it easier for people to find these in the books. And if they are killed in a different book then they first appeared they could be listed again. I don't mean adding the page numbers or anything, just which book they came out in. --[[User:Skiewolf|skie]] 06:21, 9 May 2008 (PDT)
| + | :I'm not sure where the Ask Naomi answers are posted -- probably elsewhere on the site? I don't know about the cousins/sons thing, maybe leave a note for whomever edited the page. Naomi doesn't generally answer questions specifically for the wiki outside of her general Q&A opportunities; it is just too time-consuming, sorry.

| − | I think, myself, that it's usually pretty easy to figure out which book a character comes from (e.g., Chinese characters = Throne of Jade, etc.) but if you wanted to add that information, it should be in footnote form, in order to maintain the convention that we're writing about a real world here rather than a literary one. To be honest, I'd rather see the time spent on expanding other content! Hope that helps -- [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 09:34, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

| − | Sorry about that comment/question. My mind was running on caffine and it gets kinda sketchy when that happens. Though I'm kinda new to editing existing sites, especially a Wiki(this is the first), but could you send me a mesage of the contents or parts you need expanded? I'll try my best!--[[User:Skiewolf|skie]] 12:29, 10 May 2008 (PDT)
| + | I already added some individual dragons but they don't appear in the categories "Dragons" or "Individual Dragons". So the pages can by now just be found through searching, not by links. I don't know what I made wrong, can you fix it? [[User:LordJinai|LordJinai]] ([[User talk:LordJinai|talk]]) -6. Nov 2016- (CET) 1:24 PM |

| − | Skie, just look under [[:Category:Articles_to_be_expanded]]. You might also want to check out the Getting Started page in the Help section (linked in the bar on the left). Hope that helps -- [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] 13:49, 10 May 2008 (PDT)
| + | :As I think I've mentioned I cannot fix anything on the technical side at all. Please double check to make sure the categories are listed properly. If it's still an issue, I can pass along the problem. [[User:Whitearrow|whitearrow]] ([[User talk:Whitearrow|talk]]) 17:54, 16 November 2016 (UTC) |
Leave me a note! Click the plus sign above.
I'd really like to draw pictures for you. I wondered if you could use me and my drawings in your website. I can draw every single dragon and was hoping you could let me! Please get back to me on this!

In fact uploading anything seems to be broken - after hitting "save" on anything I get a few symbols ( ďťż ) on a white page (though the submission is proceeded).
On the pages "Blood of Tyrants" and "Caracters in Blood of Tyrants" it is said that Tecumseh is President. Ihad the same discussions with my forum mates. I believe that NN didn't change the heads of state (she didn't, concerning the british prime ministers...). After my opinion Wampanoag is just mixing two thoughts. The first: "I would have liked Hamilton to negotiate with the Japanese but Tecumseh is a good man too to do this." The second: "Yes Temeraire, I've seen the President already and I've even had tea with him." Madison was President, I don't think Tecumseh was in NN's universe. May I write this (because two other articles meant the other version I wasn't sure if I should write my opinion)? -LordJinai -30 of June 2015 12:00 CET-
