User talk:Gejadus

Hello Gejadus
Hey there and welcome to BGwikia, a Baldur’s Gate knowledge base and community built by the fans, built for the fans!

I read your edits on Black Pits 2 page, it’s a beautiful blend of bold font, underline and numeral paragraph formation, I like that, but while I appreciate your enthusiasm to contribute to our community, I do have several proposals for you to reconsider:

First, we credit source’s names and their links (provided they use the right licenses) at the end of the page content, but we certainly don’t put our names in the middle of the page, as our names are already recorded in the page’s history, plus there’d be a wall of names if every user left their marks here and there, which would severely hinder the readability as well as bury the page info.

However, I fully understand that some users are very eager to credit themselves, thus I’ve filed a discussion to an active admin about the viability of a compromised solution which lets the users to use the first sentence “I” as well as adding their signatures in a section called “Gameplay (community)” which appears at the bottom of each article page, they may put their own tip & tricks, share their wisdom there since that’d be the only section where everyone can put their different opinions, much unlike the “facts” or other generally proven, universal gameplay tips which present under the “Gameplay” section.

Second, boss strategies are generally considered to put into “Gameplay”, or  “Gameplay (community)”  in the boss creature page rather than Walkthrough as everyone of us may use different approaches on how to defeat certain powerful enemies, but as there’s recently no The Winged page (feel free to create one!), for now we can move your strategies under BP2’s “Gameplay (community)” section and let you keep your name there, as mentioned above, while we discussing, what do you think? Worst scenario is, the discussion doesn’t go well, but you can always make announcements about what you’ve added via Blogs, or Profile page after you do your edits if that happens, but please do keep the blog number within a reasonable amount in order not to flood them.

Yes, everywhere has rules, even the place where everyone can edit, I sincerely hope for your understanding and comprehension.

And last but not the least, Happy Editing! Let me know if I can be of any help. Islandking (talk) 15:27, July 19, 2017 (UTC)
